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.

Because he's a soldier? Why doesn't snake use his iconic pistol then? Master Chief's weapons are futuristic versions of assault rifles and sub machine guns have you guys ever played the halo games?
Ah yes. Real life has several 7 ft tall super soldiers in super armor. Too realistic. I've played every single Halo game and poured hours into every one. Don't tell me I haven't played a Halo game. If you've played a Halo game you understand that there's a ton of alien plasma weapons that would work absolutely fine.

FUTURISTIC. They aren't realistic weapons, they're firearms that can shoot hecking plasma.
Well no that's the covenant weapons covenant is alien for those who haven't played the games.

Want iconic weapons? Look at the Halo 2 front cover and tell me.they don't like realistic and they fire plasma lol.

No one is going to want to use a plasma pistol with chief let's be real we want the Magnum

Now that we have Ridley and K. Rool, there aren't that many universally loved characters left; there are characters with niche followings, but nothing the size of those two. It seems like Geno, Isaac, and maaaaaaybe Bandana Dee are the only big crowd pleasers we have left that aren't third party, and sometimes I feel like maybe we overestimate how many people outside of the Smash fandom would get hyped for them.
And basically Skull Kid. Never forget Skull Kid, dude.

Because he uses guns. They had to specifically censor Snake not to use a gun.

I cannot see master chief being represented without any guns sorry it's impossible.
“Halo 5 introduced a form of weapon attachments in its Warzone mode, one of which is the Kinetic Bolts attachment making the weapon shoot Hardlight instead. Chief is now more than capable of using his trusty Assault Rifle without having to worry about using ballistics.”

For anyone looking to get an idea of what Ryu Hayabusa could do, here's a bunch of his hand to hand stuff in DOA5. Though obviously, he'd use his sword from the Ninja Gaiden games and some of his Ninpo and Shuriken/Kunai too.

I thinking the Slide Kick, that Triple Kick, Sweep Kick, Dive Kick and Elbow would work. That throw where he stomps on you would work for a Down Throw. And again, Izuna Drop's gotta be the Up Throw, make it a kill move too. Maybe have it do more damage if you pull off the 360 motion before the end of the attack.

EDIT: Ryu also has a launcher kick that's similar to Nina William's Geyser Kick from Tekken. I think that'd make for a good Up-Smash.
I definitely would want Ryu Hayabusa in Smash, I'm always up for more ninjas.

Except me who would love for Chief to bring in the plasma pistol.

Thanks for speaking for every Halo fan ever I guess

I think Master Chief is one of the very last "WTF!?" potential Smash additions that would still name complete sense since they're a huge video game icon. Same with Steve from Minecraft, as annoyed as some people would be with their inclusion.

I also think that, with how buddy-buddy Nintendo and Microsoft are being, that Microsoft characters are more likely to be in Smash than Sony characters (not to knock on Sony btw).

My galaxy brain take is that not only could we get Banjo-Kazooie, but both Master Chief AND Minecraft Steve alongside them.

It probably wouldn't happen, but you never know.
We have Cloud and Snake. We've stolen the biggest reps from their own Smash game.

As someone who adores Majora's Mask and would literally jump up out of my seat if he were announced, I feel like Skull Kid's popularity right now is thanks to Loz. I personally don't really remember any huge following for him back in Wii U. I could be wrong, of course, but the way I see it, Skull Kid feels kinda bandwagon-ey.

Excuse me. Play Tooie and do your research. Thank you.
I did. I absolutely love Banjo-Tooie, but many see Banjo-Kazooie as the superior game (I like Tooie more) and regardless of Tooie & Bad Fur Day being amazing, it's hard to deny that Rare wasn't as critically acclaimed as they had been during the SNES days leading up to Kazooie.

As I said they only just began going downhill, they were still great, but Nintendo may have noticed they were beginning to under perform..after all, not a single title of theirs did well after Tooie (remember that BFD is a cult classic now, it didn't sell well back in the day).

Not for the legendary weapons with is what the iconic weapons like the combat evolved magnum have.

Anyway weapons can be worked around. The problem here is without Banjo and Kazooie I don't see Sakurai going for master cheif instead, that simple really

Only, and ONLY if it's 1970's Toei Spiderman
Trash. We all know it should be MVC Spider-Man.

- MAXIMUM SPIDER
- Web Throw would be the strongest grab in the series.
- Word Bubble Taunts that do damage and spike off stage.
- MAXIMUM SPIDER!
- That Dope ass theme song.
- Spider-Cannon would be a cool drop kick Special.
- WEB SWING
- SPIDER STING
- MAXIMUM SPIDER!!

Yes go on and on about how YOUR OPINIONS ON A WEAPONS ICONICNESS means Chief can't make it

Also just lemme know why B&K objectively should be in over Chief and not because W-WELL MUH BANJO 1 AND 2
Again, I support the heck out of B&K but this is silly.

Honestly it's kinda hilarious any of you are giving this guy any attention whatsoever when he keeps doing this kind of ****. Like, why is anyone still listening? As much as I hate the "Don't feed the troll" mentality, it actually applies here

Can't really see Banjo getting in now. Honestly, I think the bigger opportunity Sakurai would take is either add Master Chief and/or Steve in Smash first, maybe save Banjo for later as DLC, kinda kinda like the speculated Cloud getting in first then Geno situation.

Because Sakurai wanted to add them in and they are gaming icons in the N64 era?

I don't see the controversy here lol Chief hasn't been on a Nintendo console

As amazing at it would be, that Golisopod leak is fake. His artwork is his Citra render from Sun/Moon.

I don't really get it. Chief in a lot of art is holding the AR. The CE pistol may be remembered for how OP it is but it's not really connected with Chief like the AR is.

On the topic of Master Chief, I wouldn't have a problem with it. He'd probably be cool; lots of things to work with for a creative moveset.

I’ve been a Skull Kid supporter before I even knew about Loz or his leaks.

If Sakurai was able to get the rights for Master Chief, the guy officially is a wizard. This game in general is already a miracle with all these 3rd parties

He also wanted to put in JAMES BOND, buddy
Also a character being representative of one console in the entire cycle of consoles isn't a better reason than Chief, who's games shaped the modern FPS as I said, who has appeared consistently since the release of the Xbox-in which his game was a console seller-with successful games every time and who has had an anime and a show based off of his series made and a movie in the works.

I would love him. In fact, I think he deserves it more than any other Microsoft Rep,
Just Think About It...
1981 Mario
1991 Sonic
2001 Master Chief

It makes way too much sense
