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.

the thing that gets me with the karate joe leak is that leaker somehow managed to get a nice clean angle of the rhythm heaven japanese gba box along with the stickers and its like damn either this dude actually owns that stuff or he found a image online so i tried looking but nothing really matches and I even went on ebay to see anything matches the angle but nothing
And yet they couldn't bother getting a clear shot of the actual ****ing render and screenshots.

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?
:ultpikachu:- Love it
:ultkingdedede:- Been with it since 64
:ultkrool:- DK LAND 2
:ultbayonetta:- Supporter since the beginning
:ultvillager:- BUGS AND FISH, YOU DON'T GET IT.

Runners up
:ultolimar:- 3 is the best
:ultinkling:- Dank as hell
:ultwario:-WARIO LAND!!!!!!
:ultsonic:- 3D blast
:ultlittlemac:-PUNCH OUT
:ultmario:- Always a good time.

Smash Bros. doesn't have a rep for itself unless you count the miis. If it did it'd definitely snag a spot.

Like none of those actually had anything to do with Hades.
Viridi only shows up in the game due...
Hades tricking the humans into fighting over a fake wish from the wish seed that the Phoenix had, which lead to the whole “Reset Bomb” moment, and Phosphora helps Viridi fight off Thatanos, who worked for Hades...and because Viridi’s crew were too busy dealing with Hades and Pit/Palutena, nobody got to find out about Chaos Kin being a thing until after he broke out of prison/Lunar Sanctum since nobody outside the Forces of Nature were meant to know about anything about the Sanctum...and the Aurum only show up due to the war between the squads of Hades/Viridi/Palutena...none of these things would’ve gone bad to the point where Pit almost died and Palutena would have her body controlled by a monster
...so all of those have many things to do with Hades (everything after chapter 9 has Hades influence one way and another

You know, I'm going to be really surprised if we don't see any Ubisoft content in Ultimate.
Consider the following:
1.) Mario + Rabbids began production in 2015, which was the same year that the first project plan for Ultimate was finalized.
2.)Ubisoft had three trophies in Smash 4 and if we take a look at polls, Rayman was popular in the Ballot era.
3.)Following the announcement of Fox in Starlink, Ubisoft said to expect more collaborations in the future.
https://nintendoeverything.com/ubisoft-ceo-says-nintendo-collaborations-will-continue/
4.) Following the announcement of Mario + Rabbids selling 2 million copies, they have reiterated their "long term relationship" with Nintendo.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...difficult_times_has_helped_their_relationship
5.) Although most of the character additions have been worldwide favorites, Sakurai is also adding characters that the western Smash fanbase wants, whether as an AT (Shovel Knight), Echo (Dark Samus), or newcomer (Ridley).
Given all of this info, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility for more Ubisoft representation in Ultimate. Not necessarily a character, but more likely an AT. Rayman could be a popular character that follows in the AT footsteps of popular characters such as Knuckles, Zero, Krystal, Bomberman, and Shovel Knight, but the addition of Sukapon, another limbless character, makes me wonder if it would be someone else.
If Rayman doesn't get in the base game as a character or AT, I think he has a fairly good shot as DLC.

I keep saying this and no one ever believes me.

My
Favorite
Franchise
IS
ZELDA!!!
If it makes you feel any better, most people would probably assume Splatoon is my favorite series given how much I talk about it. I mean, I'm basically the Octoling guy here given how much I bring 'em up when discussing newcomers, lol.

My favorite video games are actually the 3D Mario platformers. I looooove collectathons.

I don't like the odds of another Xenoblade character. I feel like Shulk just "barely" made it in; Sakurai said he usually wouldn't include someone like Shulk but decided to make an exception and I suspect it's because he thought Shulk was just about too much of a nobody to include but decided to cut him some slack. Remember further that Xenoblade 1 was a game that was so popular and so good that it generated basically a big international movement to have it localized which I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were the tipping point to Shulk making it after all. Xenoblade X was a pretty low key game that I don't think generated a lot of buzz either way, and I don't think it was particularly successful. Granted we've seen stuff from new games that kinda flopped in Smash before due to market timing quirks (Star Fox Zero and Metroid Other M stuff) and Xenoblade X didn't even really flop, but I'm not sure Xenoblade is the type of franchise on which a "chance" would be taken like that. Elma isn't what I'd call a dumb or obviously not in character pick, but I'd give her pretty low odds overall.

In terms of Xeno characters in general though, is there actually anything that would stop them from using KOS-MOS? Like she was just an ordinary blade in Xenoblade 2 so I'd assume Nintendo just owns her at this point, and while I think she would have been far too obscure to make a strong case as a third party inclusion, as a first party character I think she is actually relatively close to the front of the line insofar as importance to gaming as a whole and she gets extra points because she'd presumably have a very unique fighting style. Again I think we're getting very few additional characters so anyone in particular is unlikely, but she seems like a relatively reasonable one to me if I understand the license situation correctly which honestly I very likely do not.

1.:ultike: Radiant Dawn was my first fire emblem game. While in the beginning I found it very frustrating (probably because I was like 12 when I first played it and had no idea what I was doing...), the gameplay, characters, and story in general soon won me over.
2. :ultshulk: Found the first game in Gamestop and decided to pick it up because the cover caught my attention, plus it had robots! Don't regret it in the slightest.
3. :ultpokemontrainer: Pokemon Colosseum was one of the first video games I ever played, so the franchise in general holds a special place in my heart.
4. :ultlink: Basically the same story as how I got into FE.
5. :ultdiddy:This one was tough since I haven't gotten the chance to play a wide variety of games from different franchises except for the ones above, but I have memories as a kid of playing the original DK. Good times.

Honorable Mentions of :ultsonic:, :ultfox: , and :ultvillager:
But I do want to try all the series in smash. Planning on eventually getting Spaltoon 2, Megaman 11, Bayonetta 3, Yoshi's Crafted World, and on completing a lot of other series. Might also get Kid Icarus Uprising and Fire Emblem Awakening

Imo Zelda has really obnoxious fans that overrate it a bit like Undertale.

Though this is only my opinion

1.:ultsimon::ultrichter: (Can happily say they're a part of Smash now and is by far my favorite series)
2.:ultsamus: (Played some of the handhelds and Super Metroid, but my main experience was the Prime Series)
3.:ultmewtwo: (Although my favorites are mainly Mystery Dungeon games, add music from those to Smash sometime)
4. :ultlittlemac:(Absolutely adore the games and have played through Punch Out, Super Punch Out, and Punch Out for Wii dozens of times and hope a new game is made on Switch soon)
5.:ultfalcon:(Had lots of fun playing and racing with friends in GX even though Nintendo has basically dropped the series nowadays)

Oooh, I like this game!
1: :ultpikachu: It was through Pokemon that I met my fiance, so there could literally be no other answer for me. Plus I've been playing it consistently for 20 years at this point, it deserves this slot.
2: :ultinkling: Not since I was a small child have I fallen in love with a game as quick as with Splatoon.
3. :ultkirby: Just too much cute for me to ignore
4. :ultvillager: See above, but I also like the gameplay a lot, and I've spent a silly amount of time on New Leaf
5. :ultryu: I have a lot of fond memories of playing SF in laundromats so I have to put this somewhere on the list.

Honestly, I surprised myself, aside from Pokemon and Splatoon, I would have never guessed that order, and there's quite a few I expected to be there that aren't.

3:ultlink: (fave: Link's Awakening DX)
4:ultsamus: (fave: Super Metroid)
5:ultpit: (fave: Uprising)

F%&* it, I'm saying Kid Icarus for five, I don't care. I genuinely love all three games. I wanted a third KI game for the SNES, then the N64, then the Wii BEFORE Brawl, then the Wii like a muther AFTER Brawl, and took the day off when Uprising came out, which I never do for a video game. So I don't care. This hardly-a-series is one of my favorite series. And yes, I DID use Lucario to represent the entire Pokemon franchise. Have at you!

Step aside GC controller, there's a new kid in town.

Can't wait to see people at tourneys dominate with this. But can it beat the DK Bongos? That's the real question.
