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.

I just hope nobody thinks Geno is on a higher priority level than Waluigi cause man, that would be massively hypocritical. :rotfl:
Sakurai has said he has wanted to add Geno, he has for 3 games chosen that Waluigi is an Assist Trophy. So everything hints at Geno being higher priority (for playable) in Smash.
Tell me why Melvin shouldn't be in Smash? He's been around for years and is a worldwide icon.
He's probably one of the worst Kelloggs Mascots to use that argument for, because a decent amount of places including UK and Australia Coco the Monkey is the Mascot for that cereal.

Like, I had never heard of melvin before your posts.

To be fair, the OC characters in some of the DBZ games can actually have a shot.

Android 21, for example.
I know I joked about Broly, but I'm going to be serious for a moment.
Characters like Android 21 aren't any more "eligible" than characters like Goku just because they debuted in a video game.

They are subject to the same exact licensing issues due to the IP in question.

YHVH from SMT4A/SMT2 would be fun.

Think Andross except he's LITERALLY GOD
and he hates you super hard.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that it has to be a new character to Smash.
In that caaaaaaase... Lin Lee Koo from X? Ideally with Tatsu, I saw this idea somewhere where Lin could be wanting to trick Tatsu into letting her cook him and he’d be running and using random fighters as shields from the kitchenware Lin throws

Assist trophy?

Mario: A Boo that makes you intangible or invisible. Fawful as a nod to the RPGs would be sweet.

TLoZ: Fi could be cool, but how about a Great Fairy or the Golden Goddesses? That'd be cool. We can also have the Champions.

Donkey Kong: RAMBI. That's all.

Kirby: Dark Matter or Kracko

Earthbound/Mother: The chimera from the New Pork City stage just because Sakurai can.

Chibi-Robo: Because broken dreams can at least be mended.

Cooking Mama: Why the hell not?

Rythym Heaven: See Chibi-Robo if a character from here misses out.

Pikmin: Give us the Bulborb or one of the Wraiths. That, or the President.

Star Fox: Aparoids, please.

Wii Fit: Balance Board

Ice Climbers: Polar Bear

I have to be..Medusa is the villain of the series, has history with Pit & Palutena, and is one of the few female big bads..seeing her usurped by yet another male big bad that came out of nowhere annoys me.
I love him as a character, but his implementation annoys me..I'd have preferred Medusa take back the role at the end..but at least she did the spoiler punch..
Well tbh, she was only the villain of the first game while Hades was the real big bad for Uprising (and nobody seems to care about Orcos). While I can understand why you’re disappointed in a male being the final boss over a female, it was honestly a change for the better of Uprising. Instead of a story somewhat similar to the original, we got a new villain that was used to introduce many new characters like Viridi, Aurum, Chaos Kin, Phosphora, and...Pyrrhon
That and she'd be easier to get into the game as an Echo to Palutena whereas the other two would require a unique moveset of their own (Being the Goddess of Nature she'd probably have plant based attacks). Funny people thinks Viridi can be an Echo of Palutena despite ignoring she doesn't have the structure and is much shorter. That one thread with Viridi vs. Medusa shouldn't even be an debate to begin with.
It isn’t hard to do redesigns for characters...you know...like how Pit was completely rebooted and Roy was aged up

I would accept these two joining Smash in any way possible...and Resetti shouldn’t have ever left

Daisy will eventually burn all of those memories of her colors being a pallet swap for Peach, cause now she gets to shine and prove she isn’t 2nd to Peach (and so far...she weirdly seems better than her)

Well being how big of an game this is gonna be. There's only so much data that can be used up. It'd be easier and logical to pick Medusa being she can be an Echo for Palutena whereas Hades and Viridi (Deconfirmed due to being stage hazard in Reset Bomb Forest) would to have unique movesets (Again Viridi can't be an Echo due to being shorter and having a different structure from Palutena, that and being the Goddess of Nature would likely have plant based abilities).

I'd also rather have Hades be a recurring antagonist as among the masterminds of the supposed story of Spirits due to his nature as well as being a boss. It really fits him. I can imagine him forming an Masters of Evil type team and recruiting those like Bowser, Ganondorf, King K. Rool and Ridley to collect spirits for him.

Also as Deva said. Medusa also has more history with Pit and Palutena then Hades and Viridi does with them especially being from the first game.

Who are everyone's current top 3 most wanted characters?

Mine are

1. Banjo-Kazooie
2. Black Shadow
3. Medusa
As liable to change from day to day as imaginable... but today:

1) Bonk
2) Mike Jones
3) Vaati

I’m not getting any of them.

Top three that actually might happen:

1) Geno
2) Skull Kid

Gee I'm super late. ;-;

1: Phosphora
2: A Monster Hunter hunter (better than MvC's of course; bonus points if there's 4 costumes for male and female respectively with different voice choices)
3: KI's Medusa, but prefer her not to be an echo.

Honestly I'm just bored, yet worried at the same time when it comes to roster talk. The curse of being picky I guess.

A part of me is still hoping Pearl and Marina will show up somehow. Whether it be as a trophy or an AT, I'd be really happy to see Smash feature them in some way.

My last few posts gave me an interesting thought. Does anyone here think that it could be possible to turn a playable character into an Assist Trophy? In the event that Sakurai considers cutting characters again, is it possible that this could happen to some characters (aside from :ultdarksamus: and:ultlittlemac: to a waaaay lesser degree).

I don't know... I expect this to be the last Smash game anyways...

Well, besides a certain xenoblade character whose my avatar and most likely wont be playable, let's see...

Sin & Punishment: Kachi

Legend of Zelda: Groose and Fi

Xenoblade: Nia

The Last Story: Yuurick

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm going to be embarrassed when I ask, who are those characters? Not too familiar with Xenoblade...

So here's a forum game to throw around:
What are your top five favorite franchises included in Smash Bros.?
For me personally:
EDIT: Some of you guys are going in depth, so I might as well too.
1. :ultpokemontrainer:- First game series I've ever picked up, and I fell in love with it ever since. I still remember all the hours I spent in Viridian Forest trying to get a Pikachu after shortly leaving Pallet Town with Charmander. I have such an attachment to games like FireRed, SoulSilver, and the Unova games foe a variety of reasons as they all had an impact on me at different stages in my life. It's an amazing series, I know practically every game in the series like the back of my hand, and despite me not being happy with a lot of decisions in modern games, it still holds a very high place in my heart.
2. :ultmario: - There's honestly not much I can say about these games that no one else hasn't spoken upon. He is the definition of Nintendo for me, so outside of that I'll just move on as everything has been spoken upon for him.
3. :ultlink: - Like many people, OoT was my very first Zelda game. It left me awed at the world and all the unique characters to be found. I found myself always wanting to come and explore the next iteration and incarnation of the Hero. This one that is heavily nostalgia based, sure, but I still contest that some of the games in the series are my favorites of all time. And they have the strength to back it up.
4. :ultlucina: - Again, my first FE was many other people's, Awakening. I originally picked it up because it reminded me of one of my favorite tactical RPGs, Final Fantasy Tactics. However, I was pulled in through the sheer amount of personality and stakes that the series brings to the table. Alongside the introduction of the Outrealms and finding that this series had more to it than Ike and Marth, made me decide to take a deep dive into it. I found myself enjoying the earlier entries of the games and lost myself in the different continents and stories they had to offer.
5. :ultsamus: - One of the series that I found through Smash Bros. itself, hell I used to think Samus was a robot until I saw her again in Brawl. After I practically got a 100% in that game, I read through all the Metroid trophies to discover more info and realized I needed to play these games.
My first game was Zero Mission and it felt completely unlike any other game I've played before and began to adore it. I slowly became a fan of the entire series after that.

Honorable mentions go to: :ultsnake::ultryu::ultpit:
Jeez, that looks awful. Like I get someone put effort into this, but it's definitely not that easy to pull off.
Also, I could've sworn you hated us discussing "obvious fake leaks", so why do you bring this one up?

Fun thing for everyone, the first image could be referring to a Fatal Frame character and not Skull Kid. The first Nintendo exclusive FF is Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and involves, you guessed it, a lot of mask and moon symbolism. The mask in the game also looks more like the mask here than Majora's Mask

All that said, as a pure bandwagon post in every other square, it's definitely Skull Kid. It's also definitely a fake leak.

A music note is already used in the game, using it again for RH would be confusing, also this doesn't look like Karate Joe.
