Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Pyra]

Question, I picked up on the fact that the direct was delayed, but missed when it got moved to.
Thanks in advance.

They haven't announced that yet. Keep an eye out for official sources- people in here keep getting tripped up by one thing or another.

Hmm...
I'm not so sure about that.

Mmm, that Sovereign looks good on mobile. Clearly the person who made that post has excellent taste in RPG characters and classes.
I don't use landscape orientation, so I didn't know about that, that's cool

 

[Jack Of All Trades]

what about a new boss, maybe malfroy from fire emblem 4?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Soo. Which newcomers do you guys think will be revealed in the upcoming direct?(assuming we get any.)

Skull Kid and an Pokemon Gen 7 Rep (Likely Incineroar).

May get one Echo. If its set on Bowser's Castle I could see it being Black Knight and maybe even an costume reveal in the form of Dry Bowser for Bowser.

I feel they're going to replace Isaac with the latter since certain Smash fans will disrespectfully think the earthquake predicted Isaac.

 

[Shroob]

Soo. Which newcomers do you guys think will be revealed in the upcoming direct?(assuming we get any.)

Skull Kid, Isaac, and Incineroar are all the likely candidates in most people's eyes.

 

[Chrono.]

Isn't Yugi owned by Shueisha though?

Making him technically a 4th party character.

Yeah, it started as a manga after all.

Konami only owns the OCG and TCG.

 

[blazefan519]

Soo. Which newcomers do you guys think will be revealed in the upcoming direct?(assuming we get any.)

My guess has been either Bandana Waddle Dee and/or Incinenroar.

 

[Michele]

5 posts unill the 4000th page. Gotta go fast

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Skull Kid, Isaac, and Incineroar are all the likely candidates in most people's eyes.

Sadly I see Isaac being cut and then revealed later since I dread if Isaac is revealed supposedly next week or such those Smash fans will had think the earthquake predicted him. We definitely don't need that...-_-

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Um, I'm not sure I see anything wrong with this.

I honestly agree. I don't think any thing is wrong with the tweet, I mean, hey, he could've just been asking a legit question.

Not saying they shouldn't have delayed it. They did the right thing, and that was very respectful of Nintendo.
(Hope i worded that correctly so i dont sound like a jerk.)

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Wait, people are doing bold predictions in exchange for free stuff???

:ultthwomp

 

[Blargg888]

Currently doing something Smash related. I might post it here later, but it depends on how well it turns out.

Mmm, that Sovereign looks good on mobile. Clearly the person who made that post has excellent taste in RPG characters and classes.
I don't use landscape orientation, so I didn't know about that, that's cool

Wait, does it not show up on portrait orientation?

Gimmie a sec...

Huh, so it doesn't.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I'm gonna be daring and declare Elma and/or Isabelle at the very least.

 

[Shroob]

Due to the Fighter Numbering system, I don't see that as a likely thing.

I don't think they'd physically change the game due to this incident.

 

[Moydow]

what about a new boss, maybe malfroy from fire emblem 4?

I'll take as many FE4 characters as they'll give us, even if only to settle the age-old fandom debates over what they're supposed to be called. I just want to see mutilations like "Midayle" and "Noish" buried once and for all.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Ugh well I'm gonna be dreading the inevitable then. So disrespectful...

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Never understood the Elma Hype. But that's just because i havn't played a Xenoblade game. Isabelle I'm predicting as well though.
Don't think we'll get many smash stuff, but I think we'll get a bit.

 

[Just a random scrub]

I know I'm very, very late to the party, but holy ****, that's horrible. Japan just hasn't been able to catch a break this week..... I fully support Nintendo's decision, and I dearly hope things get better for everyone affected.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Yeah that would be bad. I’m thinking maybe Skull kid and Isabelle will be revealed.Hoping for Dixie but I don’t see her as very likely anymore sadly.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Agreed! Although the Delay is a bummer. I think Nintendo did the right thing.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If newcomers reveals were on a Bowser's Castle stage. The most fitting to see would be these.

Newcomers:
Incineroar
Skull Kid

Echo Fighter:
Black Knight (Ike)

Costume: Dry Bowser (Bowser)

 

[MrSmashFour]

One thing we know for sure is that they can't "swap out" a newcomer reveal, as it were. The game's character selection screen is listed in reveal order, so switching reveals around would ruin the entire point of the roster.

I'm not so sure about that.

Holy **** I'm mentioned

I'd like to thank my idol, Blargg, for screancapping this moment


As far as the rescheduled time for the Direct goes, I'll say up to the date they will announce the Wi-Fi or on the date right after the Direct

 

[Shroob]

We probably can exspected the delay won’t be too long

Probably tomorrow between Sunday they will show the new date for the direct I’m guessing

Highly unlikely. 3 million are without power in Hokkaido, and iirc, they said it'd take about a week for the power to come back.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

Yeah between the Klaptrap AT, the Gang-Plank Galleon remix, and K. Rool himself, I'm starting to think Sakurai answered "We want K. Rool!" instead of "We want more Donkey Kong content!"

Not that I'm complaining, K. Rool is amazing in this game.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Am I the only want here wanting a Gangplank Galleon stage? Imagine among the stage hazards cannonballs falling from the sky and all that.

Heck a Krazy Kremland stage would be fun too.

 

[StormC]

I'd personally prefer a Tropical Freeze stage since that game has so far been ignored completely in Smash.

 

[Pakky]

Gonna make a bold prediction.

Nobody will gift anyone in here for guessing correctly.

If I'm right, Sakurai will be in charge of Smash Bros Ultimate

Bold prediction I will have dinner tonight.

I will also feed my cat... (I don't have a cat)

 

[Iridium]

The character nobody wants.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

I think it's less "no one wants Gang-Plank Galleon" and more "no one's expecting Gang-Plank Galleon"

because yknow, 103 stages

 

[Pyra]

Bull****, won't happen.

 

[Shroob]

Personally, I'm not convinced we're even getting more stages to be frank.

Between this:

And barring Isaac and Banjo, most of the 'front runners' for predictions that people would want don't even need a new stage, and if neither Ridley or K.Rool got one.... I'm just not expecting anymore 'new' stages right now.

 

[Deoxys911]

I've always been surprised by how Japan's media is so reactive to disasters. The closest thing I can remember ever happening in the United States was when the Spider-Man film removed the World Trade Center scene after the events of 09/11. Otherwise, companies pretty much always move ahead with scheduled releases and conferences and such no matter what is happening in the country or internationally. To be clear, I'm not criticizing Nintendo or any of the other Japanese companies that have cancelled or altered plans in response to current events in the country. I merely wonder why things are handled so differently over there. Is it a simple matter of ethics, where their companies are much more sensitive than Western ones (or perhaps cultural expectations to "pay respects" through business decisions)? Is it due to the size of Japan meaning that almost any natural disaster is going to prevent a sizable percent of domestic consumers to be unable to access the media? My familiarity with Japanese culture is limited, so I can only speculate. Does anyone happen to actually know the reason for this difference between corporate responses to disasters here and in Japan?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

So y'all wanting to be daring and predict the next newcomer?


Fine. Let's do it. I'll predict Gengar to be the next newcomer revealed and I will eat my boot if he isn't revealed


Nah I'm not being serious here because Gengar most likely won't be revealed at all

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Typed this out last night but fell asleep.....

I do have one some issue with this entire Direct cancelling. People suddenly want to donate or help in someway. If a Direct hadn’t been canceled, would anyone know about it. I mean, Japan had a huge disaster back in July with flooding and landslides that caused 200 deaths. I recognize people want to help but why now? I get you want to help but it just kind of irks me the more I think about it. (And I’m talking in general, not only here).

Sorry, just my thoughts.

I do hope that when they delay it, it’s at the same time. That was perfect for me since it would be 7 am instead of 1 or 2 am like they did previously.

Sorry. Sometimes I can be a crotchety old man before bed.
Here’s some ways you can help:

Red Cross Japan
http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/donate/
Japan Earthquake Relief Fund
https://www.japansociety.org/page/earthquake
AAR Japan
http://www.aarjapan.gr.jp/english/support/
Peace Winds America
http://peacewindsamerica.org/support-pwa/relief-and-recovery-giving-2/

Many of them don’t have the recent Hokkaido earthquake listed but donations go to general operations. They will probably include this earthquake in a little while.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Wasn't it revealed there'd be 300 stages though?

 

[Fenriraga]

The character nobody wants.

Bruh, I'd love him as a Bowser Jr. alt. I prefer him to Bowser Jr and the Koopa kids, I'm serious.

 

[Bestmand902]

Don’t hate yourself too bad, man. You’re only human. It’s weird how you ignore all the folks in Japan on the rescue teams though. Like...seems like you would have a little hope for them seeing as how they chose a career that’s all about saving as many lives as possible.

You know how the news reports bad people for criminal acts and ignores all the great people who should have a moment of recognition in their community for being selfless? You could be honoring those people rather than flaming random folks who literally only found this information out because they were waiting on Nintendo.

Everyone chooses where to focus their own lens, though. If this is what makes a difference in the world to you, have at it.

Man, I don't know what to tell you. I'm pissed off beyond all belief, I probably don't even mean half the things I've said today. I'm happy that there are people helping out and I do hope they succeed.

I suppose you're right, it's stupid of me to have been acting this way all this time. It's just...It's hard not to assume malicious intent a lot of the time, Y'know? I'm just used to assuming people mean the worst and it's hard to get out of that mindset and see that some people are genuinely well-meaning.

I'm very sorry for how I've acted to day. God, I've been an asshole. I've been so wrapped up frustration and anger that I've lashed out at people without thought or consideration and I don't know how to make it up. All I can really do is ask for forgiveness and promise not to do something like this again.

 

[Shroob]

Wasn't it revealed there'd be 300 stages though?

*Including Battlefied and FD forms.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Anyone else seen this? This may be old news, But i just now heard about it.
