Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm also predicting if we get Bowser's Castle as a new stage. Dry Bowser will be announced as a costume for Bowser.

 

[Will]

Oh boy, I love that part of the month when everyone guesses characters and then they get massacred so hard like Ashley they aren't even mentioned.

I'm waiting for the direct to give us 3 echoes.

Spoiler

Shadow
Black Knight
Black Shadow

the ultimate trio of characters people think are edgelords on first impression
well at least one of them is actually one

This is really interesting:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/76970115

"https://www.resetera.com/threads/era-youve-met-with-a-terrible-fate.66636/

For reference the same person made a Ridley and K. Rool thread the day before they were revealed, look at the dates:

Ridley:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/era-its-time-to-ridlify-your-avatars.47838/

K. Rool:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/era-its-time-to-k-roolify-your-avatars.60207/

People on the forum also believe him to be an insider, and other known insiders are known to post there."

Seems like this guy knows something we do not.

I don't want to downplay his accomplishment, because getting both of those right is still very impressive. I'm just not sure if it was inside info or sheer luck.

Ridley wasn't a safe pick at first, but then Verge came around and everyone started piggybacking off of him. Somehow, the most impossible character of all time became "extremely predictable". Then we got the first trailer for Ultimate, and many people assumed that we'd be getting nothing but ballot picks. Needless to say, K. Rool would be one of the first picks who would come to mind, so getting that right could easily be luck.

Again, not trying to discredit him, but I don't think he's done enough to prove himself reliable just yet. Grain of salt.

give me skull kid or elma or give me death.

When do you want your funeral?

Let's try this again, okay?

 

[monadoboy]

Bandwagon time
:ultelma:
:ultcross:
:ultcelica:
:ultprince:? idk what to call the Dragalia Lost protag

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Decided to change my prediction for tomorrow. These characters just seems more fitting assuming the Bowser Castle stage turns out to be true.

Who I'm personally predicting Smash related.

Newcomers:
Incineroar
Skull Kid

Echo Fighters:
Shadow (Sonic)

New Stage:
Bowser's Castle

Costume:
Dry Bowser (Bowser)

At least Doomguy's up there.

 

[Will]

What's happening again, anyway?

:ultsans:

I don't know what's going on but I'll just go with that or something.

 

[T-Hell]

What if they announce Super Mario RPG 2 along with Geno in Smash? :O

Elma’s in the top 18, I am content

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

A SMRPG 2 would actually be interesting to see

 

[Flynn__]

What if they announce Super Mario RPG 2 along with Geno in Smash? :O

I would literally go to whoever's hosting the Direct and kiss them in the mouth.

 

[Will]

I don't wanna see what those janky sprites would look like in 3D.

Nice, Phoenix Wright is up there.

Out of curiosity, do you know how well Incineroar did?

 

[Blargg888]

Seriously, how long did it take for you to write all this?

Probably about 1.5-2 hours, maybe 1 hr 45 min approx estimate.

I started last night at like, 4 A.M. I think? But I decided to finish the rest today. The split was half and half I'd say.

I typed up the whole thing in OneNote, then Copy-Pasted it here and added the icons for extra clarity. I didn't go in order mind you, as I went through, I went with whoever sounded good the crossed them off a picture I had:

The first three characters I crossed off were Doctor Mario, Sonic, and Olimar, while the last 3 characters I crossed off were PAC-MAN, Squirtle, and Dark Samus.

Did you just change your avatar again? I swear it's different every time I refresh the page.

I'd sell my Switch and re-buy it again.

"Wait and see" is basically my approach to this.

My fellas, Crash & Doomguy at 11 & 12! F...Yes! Paper Mario as well!

 

[fortun8]

:ultprince:? idk what to call the Dragalia Lost protag

oh hey! someone else things the Seventh Heir is possible! neat!
though i've heard a couple people say his name is something like "Eudiel," but that's for another time. i'd also be stoked if Dragalia Lost ended up on the switch too. haha...

 

[Chrono.]

I'll be checking Sakurai's twitter periodically to see if he RTs the Direct announcement.

That's the only surefire way of knowing we're getting something Smash related tomorrow.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Can't say I'm not surprised about Banjo-Kazooie being first.

>Also Sans. Who even wants him. He's as unmemorable as freakin Waluigi.

 

[AreJay25]

>Rayman and Bandana Dee in top 10

Yes, this is an acceptable outco-

>Sans over Dixie

why must i feel this pain

I am consistently surprised by how little support Paper Mario gets.

He should've been an easy pick for Brawl, let alone Smash4 and Ultimate.

HOLY ****!!! I HOPE TO GOD THIS IS TRUE!!!???

 

[Luigi The President]

Paper Mario making #13 made me stupidly happy.
After all this time, people still hope for him, and he made such an impression in a crowd of 20K votes.
I think that also speaks volumes for his performance in the 2015 Ballot, where picks like Sora, Skull Kid, Shadow, and (especially) Doomslayer weren't too common to find (in fan polls, this is not me trying to nitpick and act like I know how they OFFICIALLY performed)

So yeah. Trying not to hope, but...thanks my fellow PM voters.

I am consistently surprised by how little support Paper Mario gets.

He should've been an easy pick for Brawl, let alone Smash4 and Ultimate.

Right?

I feel like he gets shoved aside for a new big-name each installment. A lot of my friends and others I see online are surprised he wasn't added as soon as Brawl, and in Smash 4, he seemed pretty obvious for the next Mario rep to a good few.

But with Ultimate he's again been tossed to the side. He's still pretty dang high up there, yeah, but he never breaks the usual mold of Isaac, Geno, Banjo-Kazooie and Incineroar (now).

Shantae is irrelevant EH????????????????????????

[Polan]

decidueye making it to the top 18 instead of incineroar gives me life. not popular my ass.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Definitely look forward to this direct tomorrow. Predicting is such fun even if your wrong.

 

[Idon]

Did you just change your avatar again? I swear it's different every time I refresh the page.

I'm trying a bunch out okay?

 

[Shroob]

Decidueye's popular with the Smash fanbase.

He's not popular with the Pokemon fanbase.


Big difference.

 

[Iridium]

So, just got back, and a new Direct really is happening, so I take back what I said yesterday. I still hold my ground on believing nothing about Smash until I see that logo.
