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.

Now I'm just looking forward to footage from that Best-Buy demo, if it isn't embargoed. It will be good to watch and enjoy fresh vids.
I'm expecting a "I drove 9 hours to play Smash Bros for 2 minutes, AMA" thread on Reddit

Aright, I've been thinking about changing my username ever since I bought premium. I'm thinking "Dragon Master Zach", but at the same time, that might feel too generic / cheesy. What do you all think? It's probably still a better name then "Zachmac"....

Why do I always stress out over names so much? This is why I still haven't settled on a gamer tag...

Um, losing the ability to gift premium isn't really an upgrade. I think they will bring it back in the future. Who knows.
When the forum software was upgraded from Xenforo 1 to Xenforo 2, there were many add ons that became incompatible. The ability to gift premium was one such add on. When there is a decent add on created for Xenforo 2 software, it will be reintegrated.

There's one thing that hasn't been addressed yet, is Sakurai okay? He didn't even post anything about the tragedy on Twitter.
If he was MIA we would of known this by now. But he is 100% alright, do not worry! He lives for Smash!

Oh, I see now! Thanks you again! I'll be patient in the meanwhile. It's too bad a lot of addons broke...

Tbh I like Zachmac more
My username problem is that I've used it for so long my friends associate it with me without effort... yet it happens to also be the title of a comic, that I didn't know about. Came out after I made the name I think.

Is that why the Groups feature died too?

I used to stress over names too. Too be honest, I like Zachmac. It's catchy :p

forgive me if this is insensitive, but i feel like we shouldn't worry as much about 9/11 being the same day as announcements for video games or other things of that nature. i understand that it's a reminder of things we shouldn't forget and should at least acknowledge, but that doesn't mean we can't move forward, right? while it happened a good amount of time ago, and it's important to remember it, we should still be able to associate the day (edit: i meant the day of the year and years to come, not the year it happened. sorry!) with good things in the present and in the future, if you ask me!
It's not insensitive at all. The obsession with the 9/11 attacks is disproportionate to the actual death toll, considering the 2004 tsunami in India took nearly 100 times as many lives, but hardly anyone in the U.S. would probably remember it happened by now.

I don't mean to start a political discussion. But context is important. Especially considering that Smash Ultimate is releasing on the same day as the Pearl Harbor attacks. You know, a day that'll live in infamy and all that.

I think it looks better as Zach Mac. Presentable. But the name itself is fine. Dragon Master Zach is definitely cheesy.

I hoping Nintendo announces on tomorrow Friday that the Direct is going to be on either Saturday or Sunday. I don't think they're releasing a Splatoon 2 update right after the Direct

Yes, that is exactly why. All groups have been archived in the event of reintegration.
I was wondering about that since my return a few months ago, but the answer is about what I figured.
I had the urge to create an insane conspiracy theory group but just making a group PM seems less classy. :laugh:

I don't think we got a discord server...But now that I think about it...

Want me to set it up for you?

Really? I'd rather Zach...but about your name, couldn't it be like 'Mr. Candy'?
It's an inside Joke. I use a Wario Skin that makes him look like Cotton Candy, and I was having trouble finding a good name, and here we are now. And yes, It's dumb.

I wasn't saying your name was dumb :(

I was suggesting that Candy would be better, given that you're made of something similar to that.

That's how names come about though

Mine?
My late dog's name is Toast. I also had great grades at the time. (I'm just good at gaming school, graduated high school with a 4.2, etc)

So... toasterbrains

i miss my dog

Himiko? Is that you?
Gifting premium is no longer possible, so the joke is kind of pointless even if it wasn't getting annoying to some.
Wait, really?
Welp, looks like I'm stuck with this title for the rest of my life.
Not that I mind though, I'm happy with it.
It’s the game we saw at E3 2017
True, but it's possible that it might have changed significantly since then.
Remember the initial trailer for Yoshi's Woolly World?
Not saying the changes would be as drastic, given the different nature of this game, but it's still good to keep in mind.

So, what features existed before 2017, before I got here, that could be used? I feel like I missed out on some things...

Rest in peace, your dog! Dogs are like the best friends of humans :(

As for me...My name is actually my first real name.

Group was the other feature, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, there's that to. There's a handful of people who know me by this name because I've been using it since forever.

Well with all this support I guess I'm keeping it.

It's actually my first and last names just mashed together. I think the reason I dislike it so much is that it's something my mom suggested when I was making my first Webkinz account back when I was...oh jeeze, I don't even remember how old I was then...

Who is AbdallahSmash026 and why does he have the Direct?
Used to watch him years ago during early Smash 4 days. Did a lot of videos from that game back in the day like event matches on hard, Classic mode 9.0, that stuff. Stopped watching him as I lost interest I guess. Still would recommend him for those who like Nintendo videos and stuff.
