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.

I bet it’s TheLastJinjo.
That’s my bet.
I’ll bet 500 fakes on it.

Who’s in? Place your bets.

Also, Loz18 or not, welcome to the boards.

I like how loz18 pops up and everyone starts posting lmao


So let's talk about the way how we are gonna get newcomers tomorrow. Obviously we're gonna get a trailer so I'm expecting at least one newcomer. But how many echoes do you think would pop up? I'm willing to bet at least 2
I'm not really expecting any Smash news at all. If we do, it will probably be a single relatively softball reveal like a Pokémon.

ahaha! if we have to lower our expectations more, that can only mean one thing...
another fire emblem rep
know that i'm completely kidding

either way, even if we're gonna be rude to a dude who's trying to impersonate loz18, what if it IS the real deal? or someone just trying to have a lil fun on a forum? we don't know for sure, so let's stay a positive buncha nerds and not put the dude on a pedestal, good or bad!

I'm thinking of trying out Young Link. I was very fond of Toon Link in Smash Wii U but couldn't quite master him that well. Hopefully Young Link is a little better. Besides him I guess Mario to be able to compete with higher tier characters and Simon seems to be very fun too.
Dude, like, no joke.

I think Simon and Richter are gonna be OP. Or at least they're gonna be gatekeepers to the higher tiers.

I guess I’m just on edge...

Easier said than done though.

I'm cool with him wanting to swing by and all, but I'd like for him to prove that he is the real loz18 because anyone can easily make an account and say "I'm loz18 and I'm ready to tell you about some Smash news"

Let's talk Ken. And Shadow....oh Dixie Kong too. AND IS MAH BOI CRASH BANDICOOT IN?!?
That's the problem with being a well known source of information--and then going into a private Discord. It's their right, but then nobody can trust what people say about them. So, when they allegedly come back in public, people have every right to doubt it. People say Loz said it's them on their Discord--I can't verify it, so it's purely anecdotal.

There's nothing wrong if Loz, the person, wants to be a part of the discussion, as opposed to Loz, the leaker. But I'm going to treat this Loz as the former rather than the latter (it's a win-win either way). Welcome, nonetheless.

I think we'll get one newcomer, a first party character--but if we get an echo, it'll only be if they're an echo of the newcomer (like Simon/Richter).

There's always the possibilities of DLC though

I'm not giving up until Crash joins the roster
"Crash crashes the party?" Crash joins SMASH!!!" Can't figure out a perfect tag-line for him. Crash comes to Smash has a nice ring, but Bandicoot Crashes the party would be funny!

The one about if you're an official artist. I'm curious.
If you mean official as in I draw things for money, then no.
But I am trying to be a cartoonist, and the first step to that is knowing how to draw.

I drew my own avatar and signature because I felt it would give me personality, you'd see my profile pic and think "that's Noipoi" before you even read the name.

Also, if Incineroar gets in i'm putting him back there with Inkling. don't tell anyone it's a secret ;)

I have that feeling too.
Just to theorycraft a bit, the Belmonts will shut down Diddy Kong HARD.

Their forward Air can easily stiff out monkey flips and using that free whip control they can nullify bananas

it's understandable! if someone's causing a ruckus and we're not sure if it IS the real person, i'm sure others feel odd about it too!

though, back on subject. if we're to lower our expectations, whether we should or shouldn't, what's the next step lower for a Nintendo Direct? i feel like it'll still be sorta fun, right?

Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite iteration of Smash then?
I'm guessing Wii U because of Toon Link, right?

Oh, that's nice! I'm not really an artist, but I do try to make some nice art when I tried. Not sure it will really go anywhere, honestly.

Honestly, unless a character has a reliable way of approaching from a diagonal angle they're gonna be walled by the Belmonts.

That said, I suppose characters with super armor could power through, so maybe heavies will do well.

I'm expecting one character. But I also expected one character during the Smash direct so we'll.

I have another account though. This just have some value to it and couldn't believe someone hasn't tried to get it so I took it.

The phrase "Lower your expectations" is soo vague it could mean anything?

1 newcomer?
1 Echo?
Nothing at all?

Sure, there's a possibility that we get nothing, which tbh wouldn't be that surprising, but 'lower your expectations' could be a hundred things.

I love that splash art for Crash. My dream mash up is if Banjo & Kazooie and Crash get in. Mario (Nintendo's mascot), Sonic (Sega's mascot), Banjo & Kazooie (Microsoft IP), Crash (Sony's former IP). Let the console wars begin! And then throw in Mega Man, Pac-Man, Snake and Cloud for eight player.

Though, it makes more sense with Crash's trilogy recently coming to the Switch, that he would be DLC.

I'm just hoping they keep the good momentum driven by K.Rool and Ridley along Simon and more forward with some more big hitters.




Been wondering a long while if we might be seeing a curveball to halt it a bit - because I rather have that happen rather when the most of the demands for the big guys are met.

I'm not expecting more than one newcomer. I could see them maybe throwing in a second, but... They probably don't want Smash to cannibalize another Direct.

Though if they ended up starting with a trailer, ending on a trailer, and then popping up every so often after they show off a game with a relevant echo...that'd be amazing.

Also - amiibo will most likely be shown! K.Rool amiibo? Young Link? Chrom? Dark Samus? Simon and Richter? the IC's? Pichu? My bois Squirtle and Ivysaur?
And will they rerelease the old amiibo line, or offer new versions that match the right poses (and costumes for the Zelda crew)?

Prepare your wallets...

Well, Link shouldn't have too much of a range problem. Gimping against him might be a pain for us Links if it gets bad. Ice Climbers might have a lot of trouble, though, if it becomes easy for them to be separated by :ultsimon:/:ultrichter:.

Let me say real quick that i'm sorry for being rude.
I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just joking around with a guy who I thought was pretending to be loz18 to get some attention.
If this really is loz18, and even if it's not, he's allowed to post just like the rest of us.
Once again, i'm sorry.

If their slow startup is to be believed, any fast characters can just rush in. Or just dodge the aerial and abuse endlag, they can only hit at one angle at a time. I feel like heavies are actually the ones that will suffer the most, as their big hitboxes do them no favors in escaping the whip, I can already feel the Belmont vs. Ganondorf matchup and I don't like it.

Unrelated to the topic at hand but who's this character that's in nearly all your posts who I only assume is your most-wanted newcomer?
She looks cute

I am really interested in seeing how to counter the Belmonts too. Not only is their range really long, but they have projectiles too. It'll be really interesting to see how they change the meta.

I guess they could just be like Marth and Corrin though and really struggle to KO in close quarters. Just more crazy spacing games.
