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.

Is this the first image you've posted here without Scott?

Because I'm pretty sure it is.
Sometimes ya' gotta change it up every now and then. Not to mention the fact that I will never miss out on a chance I can use Hotel Trivago.

If that shovelware game actually was intended to be the last reveal of the Direct, I wonder if we were only going to receive 1 character.


I still see a world where something akin to like, Masuda showing the Incineroar trailer after talking about Let's Go, which leads into a mini snippet with Sakurai, who then drops a trailer before his segment is up.


But that's just a theory.

Pretty sure the guy was being sarcastic when he said that.

I don't think there's a way of proving where the game is in the direct unless you have the entire direct.

And since we've only gotten the one image, they probably don't have the entire direct.

Alright that's enough memeing around from me. I just want to say that, if your tastes are really narrow and limited, that's probably a sign you should step out of your comfort zone and try things that you normally wouldn't.

I don't like to bring it up too much but I am autistic. I'm an extremely obsessive person by nature. As a kid, for the longest time, my entire life revolved around Pokemon. But one day I decided to start broadening my focus, and hey, as it turns out, I actually really like The Legend of Zelda as well. And then I discovered Fire Emblem. And Kirby, and DK, and Kid Icarus, and Metroid. I realized that, but focusing entirely on Pokemon, I was missing out on some amazing things. And even though I'm still a crazy Nintendo fanatic today, I still force myself to step outside of that bubble from time to time as well. Sometimes I give a TV show I saw a meme from a try or check out a 3rd party game that looks like it could be interesting.

Variety is the spice of life. If you decide your taste are set in stone, you're missing out on things you didn't even know you liked. This even goes for Smash Brothers - do you only ever play one character? Well, pick someone else who looks interesting and play some friendlies with them sometime. Maybe they'll become a new favorite.
Cyber high five, friend. It's good to see more high functioning autists around.

I'm pretty impressed the Smash newcomer is still kept underwraps even with these leaks of various titles from the direct..

I hate the fact that most of these "leaks" use characters we know have a good chance at getting in. Seriously, I want to see more ridiculous picks, like Big the Cat!

Here's a little game i made for you guys :)

I took inspiration from the fake Sakurai photo we had earlier and from the chairs 'conspiracy'.

There's 9 hints for potential newcomers in this image... some are easier than others (plus there's plenty of cushions to speculate all night long, cushions are not part of the 9 hints :p)

Sakurai office.jpg

Can you list all the hints and their corresponding newcomers? (one hint in particular is pretty hard to interpret but i'll give an additional hint if necessary)

Good luck!

If you want to play on easy mode here's the original image for reference:

Even if everything else from the Direct leaked, Nintendo would keep that under wraps with their dying breath until they were ready to show it.

The Souless expression on Sakurai's face is an obvious hint that Deathborn is going to get in

Not how it works. Certain employees of Ign, Kotaku, gamespot etc all have that information already. They know who exactly is getting revealed, probably even have the official character portrait too

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD for Switch? Then... then does that mean Incineroar and Issac are probably confirmed?

All it takes is one slip up. This just goes to show that Nintendo really felt like they had to delay the direct that it took precedence over anything else.

Oh, that so? Damn, now I'm worried the new character actually will leak out before Nintendo's ready.

Prediction: The newcomer will be leaked within 12 hours. The press has all of the info, it's only a matter of time until intern-kun screws up or an employee wants their 15 minutes of fame.

My bets are on Isaac for the Rathalos tweet, furniture just isn't enough as evidence for Skull Kid.
