Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Good point. Then i'm predicting the Direct will be this weekend since most people are off from the work.

I hope. I can't wait another week.

Tried to stay out of Smash talk because people often read too much into what I say

Plus some people inverted how I was with Brawl which is hilarious

You probably get this a lot, and the timing is poor indeed. But I don’t know if I’ll ever get another chance so...

I just want to thank you for everything. Your website has been an absolutely indispensable resource for it ever since I first discovered it during the 4th gen days.

All the fun I’ve ever had in postgame “battle whatever” facilities is down to you and your site’s EV/egg guides and Pokemon Of The Week articles. So yeah. Thank you.

What does reddit think is the most iconic smash bros. move?

The comments are amazing.

It's Rest, you uncultured swines.

That would be preferable

 

[Pyra]

I'm okay with waiting. The natural disasters in Japan are heartbreaking.

I can't imagine they'll delay it for a terribly long time, but that's beside the point.

 

[NintenRob]

I'm so nervous something is going to go wrong, but at the same time, I really want to know who the character is, but at the same, I love experiencing trailers blind.

Gah!!!! Skull Kid being at the centre of all the speculation doesn't help.... If expectations was for someone I only mildly cared about but would still be happy about, it'd be better. But Skull Kid is someone I have a lot if invested interest. My most wanted character from one of my favourite games and franchises. I need to know his FATE!!!!

Yes getting eaten by a dinosaur and then being **** out in the form of an egg is the best move to represent smash.

But Greninja, don't you have that similar move as Yoshi? You know, that one where you use your tongue to wrap your opponent and then eat them?

 

[Zinith]

It represents players being brought down a peg ANYTIME!!! Man, woman, child or murder space dragon. Yoshi treats them all equally...

Like omg I just realised we’re gonna see Ridley get eaten by Yoshi that’s amazing

 

[Cosmic77]

That would not be the first time something like that has happened. Back in 2012, they delayed the airing of a couple anime episodes that had Tsunamis in them because Japan was just hit by a Tsunami

Not delayed. Canceled.

The BW anime had been building up to this epic Team Rocket and Team Plasma confrontation, but it never came to be. If it had gone according to plan, the BW anime might have turned out much better.

 

[monadoboy]

What a depressing turn of events...

 

[drag0nscythe]

I hope everyone in Japan is ok. How bad was the earthquake?

Natural disasters seem to be a problem over there. There was a diaaster based game series on the ps2-ps3 called disaster report and raw danger. Third one was cancelled due to a major event.

Waiting is fine. Hell, if it is really bad, delay the game. We can wait. People and animals are more important in this day and age.

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Is this the first time a Direct has ever been delayed? Just curious, cant remember any time in the past.

 

[Wyoming]

The right move. Japan's football (that's soccer for us North Americans) national team cancelled their friendly against Chile too. The country has no need for entertainment at the moment.

Hope everyone in Japan can recover by helping each other and being there for others who may have lost loved ones. This is when people need each other the most.

 

[Deleted member]

Personally, I'm inclined to believe we'll be getting the Direct moved to September 14th, coinciding with that Salmon Run update. It'll give Hokkaido enough time to restore electricity - about a week from what Japan's trade minister said - and hopefully some breather room for everyone involved.

The caviat sadly is that Nintendo still hasn't mentioned a concrete date on the Online Service, only saying the second half of September, so that's another reason why I feel the Big N is trying their best to get everything good to go in a timely manner. Again, hoping for the best out of everyone involved.

 

[DarthEnderX]

The country has no need for entertainment at the moment.

One could make the argument that, in dark times, people need their spirits lifted more than ever.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Watch as Intern-Kun still uploads the new fighter trailer tonight.

"Boss-san, what do you mean when you're saying "you're not supposed to post this yet, you insensitive monster"?"

Not delayed. Canceled.

At this point, the Pokémon anime is a long string of unfortunate circumstances, whether it be real-life events out of everyone's control or writers blatantly ignoring what the games established.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Dr. Mario is heavier and slower than Mario.

Dr. Mario is only heavier than Mario in the PAL version of Melee. Other than that, they have always shared the same weight.

 

[Pyra]

Articles like this are everywhere right now.

Agreed.

Yes and it was really shocking. Usually directs doesn't get delayed.

I know I was being aggressive about Reddit earlier, but a lot of that was just because I had a long day and came home to bad news. I'm a little grumpy right now.

Anyway my favorite response to that thread has to be this:

You know how dark pit has that neutral air that spins the blades around
That

I love that move as well. Half of my time playing as Dark Pit is trying to connect that move and fail.

 

[NintenRob]

It'd be nice if Nintendo a quick cheap port of a classic game on the E'shop, and put the profits from the game to help support those suffering at the moment

I remember that clearly too. Its not just the Pokemon anime that had been affected by the Tsunami incident.

EDIT:

Here are some more of that user's replies on Facebook:

"Just because there as an earthquake in Japan, doesn't mean we're not getting a Nintendo Direct this week. How about I want it tonight right NOW!"

Another user asked him this question and his response pretty much showed his immaturity:

The Question asked by another user: "Are you seriously saying waiting a few more days is more important than the life of a person? "

The Answer from the other user: "Yep."

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I think it's safe to say that everyone who knows about the earthquake is ok with waiting. I wonder how this will affect other things of Japan too. At least a 2011 tsunami doesn't seem likely

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I know that this is probably old news by now (I'm still going through the numerous pages that I haven't seen yet, which includes the Nintendo Direct confirmation), but it sounds like the scheduled 9/6 Nintendo Direct has been delayed, due to a major earthquake incident at Hokkaido, Japan.

It has been delayed. No new date has been mentioned.

Other than the Nintendo Direct, the Japanese National Soccer (Football) Team were supposedly meant to host Chile in a Friendly match tomorrow in Saporro. But since the impact of the earthquake, they decided to cancel it.

The guy was acting extremely selfish and childish here, but I don't think the question asked was fair. Rescheduling the Nintendo Direct was done for convenience. Not because it would save someone's life. Regardless of what your answer is, the question makes you look like you're a terrible person for wanting the Direct to air as it was originally planned.

 

[ChocolatGelgato]

The splatoon update coming today that added more salmon run gear was delayed to the 14th. So it's likely that the direct will be waiting at least a week.

I don't really know what to say about the earthquake itself, but I can only just hope that as many people as possible will be safe.

 

[NintenRob]

Anyway I'm gonna go to sleep, hopefully things have improved in Japan by the time I wake up and we have a more concrete idea on what Nintendo's plans are.

If anything major leaks though, I'd appreciate a pm warning if anyone would be willing to help out. I know it's not important. But if something like character trailer somehow ends up online, I'd like to be able to watch it blind with a video that doesn't have a spoilery thumbnail.


Again, I know it's not that important compared to travesty, but I figured I'd throw it there just in case.

Good night everyone

I remember that at least Kamen Rider OOO got a delay because of the tsunami in 2011. Wonder if that means tv stations will delay tv shows too. Either way, I'm not losing any sleep for missing episodes of whatever I'm watching, this is more serious than tv

 

[Radical Bones]

I really don't think you know how ports work lol

 

[Raspberry]

Do you think the blog updates are going to be suspended/delayed as well? (Not saying they should continue while Japan is affected, I'm just curious about your opinion).

 

[Darkraid]

Tried to stay out of Smash talk because people often read too much into what I say

Plus some people inverted how I was with Brawl which is hilarious

Hey man just wanna say that I am a HUGE fan of your work. Thanks for making our lives so much easier these few years.

 

[RileyXY1]

I no longer think that there will be any earth-based fighters in Smash.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Do you think the blog updates are going to be suspended/delayed as well? (Not saying they should continue while Japan is affected, I'm just curious about your opinion).

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they got delayed too. If we're lucky, it's only tomorrow's that gets delayed because after that it'll be the weekend

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

I wonder if the blog posts are timed updates, or if Sakurai writes them on the fly and posts them?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I no longer think that there will be any earth-based fighters in Smash.

They’re not going to fully cut a character they’ve spent years working on because of a natural disaster, no matter how bad. The character likely already has an expensively animated reveal trailer, and potentially cutscenes in the game.

Yeah this is tragic, but they’re not cutting a whole character because of it. Especially when the game doesn’t come out for another three months.

 

[Rasumii]

Woke up to hear the devastating news. Truly awful, I hope Japan recovers as quickly as possible.

It also speaks wonders about Nintendo as a company. I already respected the company immensely, but this shows they're really just kind souls over there. They have my heart.
