Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[LetterO]

The tweet that announced the direct being postponed, just got deleted...hmm...

No, it's still here.

Due to the powerful earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, we have decided to delay this week’s planned Nintendo Direct. We will provide a new time and date in the near future. Thank you for your understanding. pic.twitter.com/IITgJFtzub

[Ace C.R.O.S.S.]

Falco and Corrin come to mind.

Well, at least Corrin has an original moveset.
Falco its just a non-official echo of fox since melee (Change my mind)

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

So, anything noteworthy in the last few hours?

Probably constraints, honestly.

Much of current 3-D Pokémon games still leave some attack details to the imagination anyway.

Edit: JPN and UK Twitter still have the tweet up.

I just checked the NoA twitter, the delay tweet is still on there for me.

Ohhhh announcement coming any minute now I bet

 

[John Dylan Smith]

At the very least this delay gives me longer to keep using this avatar.

Hopefully we get Isaac or Skull Kid when the time arrives. Otherwise I'll have to change it.

Still calling it! Isaac And Skull Kid (Along With Isabella from Animal Crossing And Shadow The Hedgehog) will get revealed next!

I honestly don't classify Falco as an echo. At this point the only thing he has in common are specials (and a final smash) but even those are heavily unique from Fox's

An echo wouldn't be able to jump higher.

Hey guys, this guy PM'd me last week saying there's an Etrian Odyssey character in Smash. He said Sakurai chose them as the Atlus rep because Jack Frost was too similar to the Ice Climbers and a Persona character would be too broken like Rosalina and they also wanted something more unique.
I just didn't say anything until now because I didn't believe it but now I do.

Calm down N.

You rang?

My bad I can't find it for some reason on mobile, but it's no longer NoA's pinned tweet at least.

You can actually get warned for faking leaks like this, just a quick warning so you don't, well..get a quick warning.

 

[Untouch]

I don't know where NoA is, but it's 9:30 EST and it's Saturday in Japan, I don't think we're getting an announcement about anything.

 

[ZephyrZ]

With his swords and anime art style, Lloyd snd Isaac are just waaaay to much like an FE character. Just like Link, Metaknight, Shulk, and Cloud, they'll never be playable because all JRPG swordsmen are exactly the same.

Deal with it, weebs.

I'm joking, obviously.

It's not there for me now though. Strange

Looks like Hokkaido got its power mostly back. Prayers still going out to those affected or the familes of those who lost loved ones.

That's a coincidence. I just got PM'ed yesterday that Nintendo is adding Pokedex Rotom to Smash. Apparently Sakurai chose them because Incineroar was too similar to Charizard and Buzzswole would be too broken like Bayonetta and also they wanted something more unique.
Didn't decide to speak out because I didn't believe it but I just saw this and now I'm having doubts on my doubt.

 

[Chrono.]

And do you have evidence that Tekken is more popular than Tales? Because if you don't do the research, then don't say anything that's gonna fall back on you

Tekken does has an 8 million seller at least. And Tales... Doesn't.

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014...a-second-best-selling-fighting-game-all-time/

But that's neither here nor there when it comes to the popularity of two individual characters for Smash.

If I out an /s, am I legally immune from being warned?

 

[GunBlaze]

An echo wouldn't be able to jump higher.

Or have more than half of their normals different from their source...

 

[Luigi The President]

I believe so. I think that's in the Constitution.

How interesting! I was DM'd and told that Urbosa from Breath of the Wild is being added to smash! Apparently, Skull Kid was repurposed into the Moon assist trophy, and Revali was too similar to Falco to be considered! Poor Daruk didn't get too much consideration at all and that's why the made the descision they did out of the three champions that exist!

 

[Graizen]

The Digimon series has made over 2 BILLION altogether counting gaming, anime and other franchising.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises

Out of all the Bandai Franchises with a game based origin, Digimon is the third best grossing, losing only to PAC-MAN and Tamagotchi (which has such a little gaming prevalence outside of V-Pets compared to Digimon that i really can't see it, plus they don't fight like Digimon do.)

Not gonna lie, I’m totes okay with this.

 

[CJ Falcon]

They don't share any animations. Dr. Mario is much closer to a non-official echo.

Honestly, best girl right here, folks.
Urbosa I mean.

 

[Idon]

If a mod doesn't arrive within the next 15 minutes, you are legally allowed to ****post.

 

[Fenriraga]

I just don't see Digimon as a franchise doing well in the ballot. Of course it's popular and has made a lot of money, but its popularity has severely dwindled in the past decade. Again, not to say it isn't popular, I just don't see how a Digimon rep would have done better than the likes of other Namco reps in the ballot.

Of course, it could get a rep WITHOUT the ballot, but... I dunno about that.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Just imagine Agumon's trailer... Pikachu would be involved somehow...

 

[IGuessItsOver]

I don't know where NoA is, but it's 9:30 EST and it's Saturday in Japan, I don't think we're getting an announcement about anything.

Honestly, if we don't get an announcement on Saturday then it's very probable they'll broadcast the Direct on next Thursday.

 

[WallyPalmer]

Urbosa I mean.

Only girl, really. I mean Zelda's lovely and all, but I find it strange how there were only THREE Champions, excluding our Hylian Hero. Whatever, their dynamic is excellent, and I feel like that lack of a fourth member really opens up space in the story for Link's Romance with Sidon! : ) The Zora are such a cool race! I'm glad their representation in Breath of the Wild is so great!

 

[Zinith]

Maybe an Agumon trailer would involve my boi because dinosaur...

 

[Graizen]

For sure, and maybe Charizard as well.

I'm sorry I'm a bit confused...Link/Sidon is adorable but
OH lol Mipha. Yeah I still need to actually play BOTW when I get a Switch and more than on my best friends console but I don't really mind her...I'm sure she could've been better though.

 

[Shroob]

Everyone needs to prepare themselves.

The leakening cometh.

 

[Idon]

Agumon warp digivolves into Metal Greymon who mega digivolves into War Greymon to fight a Charizard that mega evolved into Mega Charizard X.

And then they have a senseless Kaiju battle because those are cool.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Hey Zinith i've been wanting to ask you.... judging by your avatar and your signature.....
Do you like cats?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

What really annoys me about this post isn't you, but there are people out there who legitimately believe this, kinda like the people who legit think Bandana Dee = Hat Goomba. They're in the minority, sure, but it's still sad to think about.

 

[Iridium]

I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen Link/Paya here anywhere. I almost expected it here from someone.

 

[Schnee117]

Agumon's trailer is just Agumon Vs Charizard 2: Charizard is already dead

 

[Zinith]

lol

Actually I'm more of a dog person. Although every time I enter a house with cats, they all assemble around me as if I WAS a cat person
