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.

On the flip side, is being expected to use clean language really that difficult? It's a pretty easy rule to abide by, especially when we have those autocensors you're complaining about, so I don't see the point of getting so worked up about it is.
I think any kids that we're apparently so concerned about seeing such bad words would be driven off by the debates of gender politics that keep somehow showing up here anyways.

Okay so Nintendo is streaming something else right now... lol

https://youtu.be/U4dMgBJp-Eg

I'm gonna assume we are going to get a direct announcement very soon (next12 hours) cause this is suprising.
This is kinda cute, it's like a little Nintendo-themed cable station! I'm okay with this. 'Sides, I'll be at the local balloon races near my place tomorrow morning, so I can come back and see what's been announced. Let the Nintendo Channel stream on!

Zenith boshi is never gonna happen he is from Geno game
How many times do you think the poor guy has heard this?
How would you feel if, out of nowhere, I said Disagaea will never ever make it into Smash?
A bit saddened, right?

Just consider how these random posts may make people feel.

There's probably kids that view these forums even if they don't have an account or post.
That's a very outdated, weak argument. I can understand rules against posting pornography, but censoring swears? If a kid has taken a foot outside the Lego website, they're already long gone. It's just plain [content redacted] :chrono:

I'm not enraged about it, but it's just baffling to me.

I guess I meant for this site. The point I was trying to make was that the censoring bull**** on this site is really stupid. Again, I had an Anchorman clip removed because the word "whorish" was in it, and his Egoraptor vid will likely get pulled to, when it's just fun memery.
You mean removed from Smashboards? Yeah, you can get swear warnings or infractions, even if you aren't actually doing the swears. (posting a tweet that has a swear, for example)
I sorta get it, but that's a bit silly.

This livestream reminds me of staying up super late at night where there's the "Dead zone" for TV, where there's nothing but Infomercials on.

I do wish Smash Flash 2 revamped some movesets.

For every Tails or Bandana Dee there's a Sora or Lloyd whose movesets feel like just moves thrown in without any regard for what they're playstyle is supposed to be.

Though, I will say in regards to the rules.


We can link to 4chan and no one bats an eye.


But **** is the worst word you can say apparently.

If you really want to argue this, put it up to the mods or admins of this site. Nothing said here will change that. *shrug*

This site is explicitly PG-13. Yes, we censor certain swear words. It's an automatic censorship. That also means that if a swear isn't censored, it's likely used in a reasonable context where it doesn't need to be. It's a courtesy towards others. Censor Dodging, to be clear, is either using an image/video to get around the literal autocensors or simply trying to censor a word yourself so it's more "obvious" of what it is. Both are bad. You can, however, still post a video if you give a warning that it has swearing in it(again, this is courtesy for others). For images, to avoid the issue, it's as simple as literally blanking out the censored words. If you're absolutely unsure of which words are censored, you can PM a Moderator for the full list. :)

Besides, when you post a tweet, it's your own job to actually make sure it isn't breaking the site's rules as well. We expect you to care about what content you post here. Of course, some might not know which swear is which. When you are given a warning PM, you can explain the situation. Yes, we do remove warnings/infractions if the situation was a misunderstanding. We aren't machines, we're actual people who care about helping you understand the rules too.

I don't think you understand the difference between censoring and a small warning for those who want to avoid watching something at work or are not at an age where the video would be appropriate...
I literally just said it wasn't about the warning. I know the difference. I'm saying the video is going to get pulled for "cartoon man boners", which is really stupid when it's just a meme.

IDK **** is pretty bad but **** is also quite bad and both aren't half as bad as **** or ****, but the worse would probably be ***************************

Though it is hilarious you can still link to 4chan yet we can't swear

Maintaining a reputation. Kids being subject to harsh words is obviously common. But it has never been condoned. They prefer to seem as professional and respectful as possible here. That’s what they want. There’s nothing else to know. It isn’t “essential” to enforce such a rule. It’s just the way the admins want it. Simple as that.

So you're telling me that we shouldn't warn for sexual content because it's a meme...?

My only gripe is if the site's pg-13, why can we link to 4chan, a potentially xxx rated site?

I understand that 4chan is a necessary evil when it comes to speculation, but it feels like a bit of a looked over spot.
