Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Guynamednelson]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they cut out Isaac's reveal and instead uses another newcomer in his place

The numbering system is definitely gonna get in the way of that.

I lost faith in the community when the hivemind backlash against Bayo started happening.
And when attacking the Bayo players started happening too.
The out of proportion anger in this thread (with respect to "leak"speculation) and today's insensitive posts reinforces that view.

Edit: I'm for a temporary lock of this thread if possible, to let the Japan disaster discussion pass.

 

[Dixie Kong]

I think people are a bit overreacting here, let’s continue to have Japan in our thoughts and discuss something else.

 

[Bestmand902]

I've been feeling really frustrated at Nintendo's fans
All the death and destruction and there's still "Hur dur where my vidja" people
I was a fool to expect better of humanity

Oh, hello there, Heracross! I assume you're back for this Ultimate game?

Anyways, 10 more posts unill page 4000. Can we do a race?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Seriously, it’s like saying a building in Kyoto near Nintendo is catching on fire while victims are being evacuated and meanwhile idiots are going “OMG INCINAROAR CONFIRMED*.

Like come on...

And the Waluigi incident was only from two trolls that made people stereotype the Waluigi fanbase as it is.

I mean, that's not entirely right. People speculating on that the potentially harsher than intended content could be something to do with what happened, your example is just a lack of empathy and an inability to think of anything other than Smash. There's at least a logical connection to make

Guys.....some of you are using the earthquake as a way to speculate the content of a Direct...in particular Smash....

Don't you think this is a bit much...? I do apologize if I sound bad or out of line, but still...

Dude relax it's basically all people have been talking about for the last couple of pages

Oh stop, your username's Dukeofdeath, you don't get to complain about "edgy"

This topic of conversation really isn't going anywhere productive. Can we talk about recent news without blaming each other?

 

[WolfCypher]

Its funny. Most people kept grapsing at every little "leak" so desperately it made me shake my head...

Now that people are trying conspire an Earthquake, a natural disaster people are trying to recover from, with Smash speculation, I'll gladly thank you all to go back to grasping at reddit "leaks" instead.

 

[Bestmand902]

Stop. Humans shouldn't hate humans.

Humans shouldn't prioritize "my Vidja" before people WHO ****ING DIED!

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

No kidding. It was pretty depressing watching people just cry about Bayonetta when she is like nothing compared to top tiers in other fighting games including "every Smash game before 4", and in general, I prefer my competitive players to be tough and prepared to deal with adversity so seeing just a wall of salty tears the second something is mildly "cheap" is just... really depressing. It's a competitive game! Overcoming adversity and trying to make the game as unfair as possible for your opponent is literally the entire point!

-

As per the earthquake, I don't see a reason Nintendo would lie about this type of topic (exploiting matters of life and death for cheap marketing gimmicks isn't what successful companies do). The direct itself was also obviously already fully recorded and ready to show as of yesterday so the delay will have a minimal impact on the contents since, you know, it's already finished. This is just common sense; it's uncommon foolishness to believe there's any connection between this delay and what we'll see.

I think in the meantime, we should at the very least continue to find ways to send support to Japan after the recent strings of natural disasters. John from Spawn Wave put up a page where you can donate to the people rescuing out there in his most recent video that went up, so I figure I'd post it here, too.

https://donation.yahoo.co.jp/detail/1630037/

Mind you, it's all in Japanese of course, but I think this would be at least a good start.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

 

[blazefan519]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

The same thing I always do. Eat, and then go to bed.

 

[Idon]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

Finishing my paperwork instead of having an excuse to procrastinate.

So that's a small plus.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

I mean it was only, what, 30 min. I think the discussion after the fact is what was gonna take up more time.

I'm just gonna watch critical role like I was prob going to anyways

 

[Ignoritus]

Edit: I got japed.

 

[CJ Falcon]

They don't know those people though. Sure they should respect the dead, but they're not wrong for caring more about something that's dear to them than some deceased people in a far off country that they've never been to.

 

[WolfCypher]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

Doing what Im doing now. Foruming with the fine folks here.

But only the fine folks.

 

[zeldasmash]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

Woke up to this news, was sad and grumpy and this week has been the most useless week in college I have been through in my 5 years in it. Appointments cancelled, cancelled classes and a lot of time doing nothing.

This week has been horrible.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Oh stop, your username's Dukeofdeath, you don't get to complain about "edgy"

Tbf when I made this account it referred more to a Victorian style grim reaper but fair point, I gotta get around to changing it

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Me too.

 

[kylexv]

I no longer have an excuse to miss a callout.
So I am going to said callout. Also probably doing homework.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

Nothing really, with the Direct being delayed and football being on an international break I'm not really sure how I'm going to pass the time this weekend. Might try and improve my best time in Zero Mission, but I can only stretch that so far.

 

[Zathura]

So, what is everyone doing this afternoon now that the Direct was cancelled?

Weirdly, doing japanese work. The direct was pretty late for me anyway so I most likely won't be doing anything at the time it would have been on

 

[Deleted member]

So just to pass the time a bit, I'll propose a Game. You have to replace Each of the Pokemon reps with different ones, but each one you replace has to be of the same Type and come from the same Generation. Pokemon Trainer can still be itself (or changed to Blue, Veteran Trainer, Brock, or whatever) if you want.

Here's what I'd go with:
Pokemon Trainer --> Veteran & Ace Pokemon Trainer (each with Female & hair color variants)
Squirtle --> Omanyte
Ivysaur --> Gloom
Charizard --> Magmar

Pikachu --> Raichu (bit of a copout, I know, but I'd rather have Raichu lol)
Jigglypuff --> Clefairy
Mewtwo --> Alakazam

Pichu --> Elekid

Lucario --> Mega Lopunny (I know its cheating, but the intro animation can be Lopunny Mega Evolving)
Lucario --> Gallade (If you guys find the Mega-evolution choice to be cheating lol)

Greninja --> Pangoro (Going based off its 'Dark' typing rather than Water)

Incineroar (assuming he is the pick) --> Salazzle

 

[blazefan519]

Direct stream now says it's live on the 13th. No official confirmation yet but coupled with the Splatoon thing that's likely our new date.

If true, then oof we'll definitely have a lot of leaks before the direct comes.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Of course Famitsu is probably going to be leaked and reveal the new characters.

 

[Bestmand902]

Fair point I guess, I'm sorry for how I acted. I'm just lashing out because I'm frustrated

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

A whole week? sad but understandable I guess, this wait is gonna suck though

The wait won’t be ling if it all gets spoiled.

Really? Source please? I still don't see the new date. You're most likely referring to someone who is also streaming that on Youtube.

When there is a new Direct, chat are usually disabled. So there are a lot of peoples who will stream that, while also allowing the chat.

You have a link to that? Still just gives me the message.
