Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Although I may be biased, as a writer for NintendoLife as well as a past source for upcoming news, I'm more inclined believe the NintendoLife team than a random leaker, here or elsewhere. That said, until Nintendo officially says it, I won't be confident in an upcoming direct, even if a friend from the Treehouse were to personally tell me the date.

When it comes to rumors in the gaming industry:
Always be cynical.
Don't gossip if you're an employee.
Listen more.

Good advice for life, really.
I don't think anyone on this board is going to just believe a leak without substantial evidence but its fun and informative to discuss the possibilities and why something could work. Its just a way to hype ourselves up for the game, just to get us through the long day's of nothing to analyse.

Good advice non the less though.

It feels too early, I feel like we'd know already if there was a full blown direct tomorrow

If this supposed Direct focuses on content aside from the new online service, then I'm confident we'll get a character reveal. HOWEVER, I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything major aside from that. I have a feeling they'd randomly throw in a character trailer toward the end as a suprise announcement and that's it. Doubt we get more detail on new modes and other features until another Smash Direct.

Now as far as what I'd like to see get revealed, I just want to see a new Pokemon, if only so we can finally put an end to all this painful speculation revolving around it.

The consensus around here is that there would just be a new character revealed in a general direct. Who, is the only question.

The most fun option being Isabelle being ninja'ed into Ultimate.

Elma alongside a Xenoblade Chronicles X port, just like Shulk had with the 3DS port, is what I'm championing.

I expect any Nintendo Direct focusing on the Nintendo Online Service to be cut-and-dry and only feature news directly on the service itself. This could include relevant games, such as Mario Kart 8 DX, Splatoon 2 and perhaps even Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but I don't expect to see any new content unrelated from online play. I would certainly be excited to see a new character reveal, but I don't believe one will be shown in an online-centric direct.

Unless it's.. could it be?

If we got a new Nintendo Direct, a Smash newcomer reveal wouldn't really be my priority.

I'd like to see some more details on Starlink, personally. Or if I'm lucky, a reveal for a new Star Fox game. Maybe that rumored Grand Prix title, I dunno. Just want a new, and successful, game.

You're sleeping on Parabo & Satebo as a possible WTF entry though, since the Satellaview service is the ancestor of the e-shop.

Animal Crossing would be something affected by online. Would be a good time to announce it.

I know this is not related here...

And I do not wanna start any cross forum drama, but well, I don't know how to explain it properly. Can I just say it, seeing as it's probably going to be the important news/revolution?

So I just read all the pages I missed since going to sleep last night and I got very sensitive reading some of you talking about your dogs and your ups and downs. I love dogs and animals in general with all my heart, and consider myself an empathic person, and also go through bad days from time to time, today being one of those, so I got emotional easier. So I just wanna let you know that I understand you and to keep it up, we all are stronger than we think. Love you guys ^^

Well, do you know that often, game news and industry, etc. bring up Resetera, that site for gaming, right? And as I know, we think that site is so toxic, right? Well, I mentioned that 'cross-forum drama' as a warning,, because currently, if you haven't heard of it...

Users on Resetera are finally admitting that the site itself is very toxic, very bad, and they want NeoGAF back. There is mass-ban in that site right now for that reason, and soon enough it'll implode.

Starlink will probably flop. Besides amiibo which most people really only collect for the figures toys to life is pretty much dead.
On NL, the writer who did a feature on Starlink seemed to be very confused about what audience the game is even aimed at. Toys for the kids, yet the world exploration is something that would appeal more to older gamers.

Ahem, I wish to BREAK the silence. I know it's not related to this forums.

But, right now, there is huge drama on Resetera forums. You know, that forum that everyone has moved to after that NeoGAF incident. Right now, in that forum, there are a lot of peoples finally admitting that the forum is very cringey and bad and that they want NeoGAF back, which is why there is an mass-ban right now.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Very good point. Thoughts?
Mimique is just another fake leaker, who is collaborating with Loz. No offense, but him being with Loz just makes it suspicious.

Honestly, it's not a good point in my opinion. Sakurai has been known for smokescreening

I thought Monique wasn't even a leader and never claimed to be, just someone taking a few guesses here and there.

Not sure this is really the place to be bringing up this at all.

only 95 pages before we reach 4000, if there is a direct on the 6th we better speed up... :ultsonic: 'we're too slow'

We should bring the "music that should be in Smash" topic because I was just reminded of this jam

This has been my train of thought. I don't think "Hope you weren't expecting too many new fighters" was a lie (although it would be bad ass if in the final direct he was like "oh did I say that?" And revealed like 5 more unique newcomers lol). I just think not too many was reffering to unique. But combined with echoes we will probably see at minimum Melee numbers if not Brawl/Smash 4. I mean at this point in Smash 4's development there were at least 4 more unique newcomers to reveal? (Robin, Shulk, Bowser Jr. and Duck Hunt).

Yea I'm predicting 4-5 more unique and 4-5 more echoes.

Then don't post it. It has nothing to do with Smashboards or Smash Ultimate, and any anyone who is genuinely interested would already know about it. It's clearly demonstrated by the fact you already posted it about it once, no one cared, so you posted it again. Post about it on Facebook, not here. Thanks.

This isn't the place to be having lengthy discussions about GAF/Resetera, keep it on topic.
