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.

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
Ah yes the old everyone who I disagree with is a troll mentality. Very mature, except it's really not. Unfortunately this mentality is very common in the US.

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.
James Bond was dropped for many reasons. First, is the realistic guns issues. Second, he would not only have had to go to Eon Productions and EA to get the rights, he would also have to get the rights to Pierce Brosnan's likeness.

Y'all goofies acting like you're smart for breaking this dude's arguments lmao
Since when were we "breaking this dude's arguments" to prove we watch Rick and Morty

I'm doing it simply because I just woke up and enjoy debating about characters being in Smash
Buddy I'm a god damn idiot I just like talking about Smash

Also I gotta say it's a bit more fun then shutting down the same boring RH and Golden Sun leaks over and over again

James Bond who so defined the N64 era. And again that's Xbox. I thought characters had to appear on Nintendo consoles for them to be considered anyway.

I was never interested in Halo.

Borrowed Halo: Reach from someone. Didn't play it at all.

Nonetheless I recognize what kind of a huge gaming icon Master Chief is. Especially how he represents modern gaming.

So I'll gladly have the Chief in Smash.

Would love to find out where Sakurai explicitly said "you must have been on a Nintendo console to be considered"
Also Cloud defined the Playstation not any Nintendo console so should he just not be in

He did not, Sakurai brought up James Bond as an example of someone he wouldn't put in.
Thank you for correcting me. Wasn't aware of this, won't bring that up again.

I really want to, but he keeps popping up spewing nonsense. If Smashboards had some sort of a block feature that will help a lot.

Cloud got in by popular demand.

Cloud has appeared on a Nintendo console and that's actually the justification Sakurai used for why he's in.

Cloud is from final fantasy which has defined gaming in Japan.

Xbox doesn't sell in Japan you guys think anyone there knows who chief is lmao.

I don’t support Banjo-Kazooie because they’re some sort of legendary third party, it’s because they were once Nintendo characters and having them come home, even just for Smash, would be the perfect way to pay tribute to the 20th anniversary of their debut.

I still think Banjo is the more likely Microsoft rep. Fan favorite, which is what this game seems to be going for, previously considered for Melee, and Nintendo icon. Master Chief would be dlc if Banjo is in the base roster

Ok yes thank you for proving my point

Would be great if you cited your sources when you said these things
Anyway look man I don't think I'll be able to show you why I feel the way I do on Chief and smash and perhaps let you see through my POV

So have a good day and continue speculating whoever you want

Yeah I agree

Master Chief sounds like the perfect final dlc character.

Master Chief nor Kratos will ever be in Smash. And this isn't me saying it because it's a Nintendo crossover or because they never appeared in Nintendo consoles(which are both true but people will just shoot it down anyways).
It's because it benefits neither side at all, Nintendo would have to pay absurd amounts of royalties to their DIRECT competitors and Sony/Microsoft would just be giving reason for their own fans to buy a game from their direct competitor.

Nobody's arguing Banjo would be the more logical choice. What we were arguing was Chief for some reason being "too difficult" because of his weapons when the same guy argued for Goku. Then he moved the goalpost and started talking about Banjo which was entirely irrelevant.

Luigi The President Luigi The President here’s Sakurai saying he might have not put Cloud in without Nintendo appearances.

https://sourcegaming.info/2016/02/23/nintendo-dream-interview-with-sakurai-part-2/
Great, thank you for showing me a source on this
It does seem like an important differene that he says he "might have had misgivings" but I'm sure I'm just missing what he's saying there

Master Chief nor Kratos will ever be in Smash. And this isn't me saying it because it's a Nintendo crossover or because they never appeared in Nintendo consoles(which are both true but people will just shoot it down anyways).
It's because it benefits neither side at all, Nintendo would have to pay absurd amounts of royalties to their DIRECT competitors and Sony/Microsoft would just be giving reason for their own fans to buy a game from their direct competitor.
Now THESE are good reasons why MC won't ever be in Smash.

For the record: MC won't ever be in. But not for a reason like his weapons.

Tell that to Banjo supporters by the way. Also I'm thinking of how a Kratos reveal trailer would work even if the character's ridiculously violent and unlike Doomguy, I don't like him. Is he going to impale Bowser as if he was the Hydra?

I also agree with this.

Master Chief is a different case from Snake and Cloud since those are owned by 3rd party developers unlike Chief who is owned by a company that creates video game hardware.

Master Chief would be a total nonstarter for Japanese fans. I’d be shocked if we ever got a western FPS third party in Smash.

Maybe Kratos could just try and fail to viciously murder several Nintendo characters.

Is it just me, or are we going through information withdrawal, and one of the sideffects is aggressiveness? I'ts not usually this aggressive here, or maybe it's just me.
Not really I think some people are just opinionated and can't handle unpopular opinions so they throw tantrums.

I personally don't care what they say I'm here to speak my mind not keep them happy, free speech for everyone is my motto and to always show respect even when I disagree.
