Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Megadoomer]

A Little Game for you all to pass some time:

Choose ONE Character to join Smash from each company!

-Capcom
-Namco Bandai
-Square Enix
-Blizzard
-Riot Games
-Ubisoft
-Atlus
-SEGA
-Nintendo
-Valve
-Sony
-Microsoft
-Atari
-SNK
-Arc System Works
-BioWare
-NetherRealm
-Monolith Soft
-Platinum Games
-From Software
-Bethesda
-Rockstar
-Marvelous
-Naughty Dog
-Vicarious Visions
-Activision

I'm going to go semi-realistic here, going with major characters as opposed to including stuff like the Tank from Left 4 Dead.

-Capcom: Dante from the Devil May Cry series
-Namco Bandai: Heihachi from Tekken
-Square-Enix: Crono from Chrono Trigger
-Blizzard: Tracer from Overwatch
-Riot Games: I'm not overly familiar with League of Legends, (tried playing online once and it ended poorly) so I have no idea who's popular or important. In that case, I'll go with Vi, due to her giant robot hands.
-Ubisoft: Rayman
-Atlus: Yu Narukami from Persona 4, I guess? I know very little about Persona; I've played BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and got Persona 5 through the PS3 sale, but I've been too busy with Kingdom Hearts to play the latter
-Sega: Dr. Eggman from Sonic
-Nintendo: Wonder Red from the Wonderful 101
-Valve: the Heavy from Team Fortress 2
-Sony: KNACK TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO just kidding; probably Ratchet and Clank. I haven't played their games, but they seem like a good fit
-Microsoft: Banjo and Kazooie
-Atari: Q*Bert? I'm not sure which properties Atari owned, if any, and Google isn't helping.
-SNK: Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters. I'd also be fine with Geese Howard or Rugal Bernstein, but there's no way they'd get in over Terry.
-Arc System Works: Ragna the Bloodedge from BlazBlue; I haven't played Guilty Gear yet.
-BioWare: Commander Shepard from Mass Effect.
-NetherRealm: Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat. Not as popular as Scorpion, but the crazy chicken/Bruce Lee noises would be hilarious
-Platinum Games: they don't really own anything that they've made, but Raiden from Metal Gear Rising
-From Software: I know almost literally nothing about their franchises, but I think there's a recurring character in one of the Dark Souls games with an onion helmet? That guy.
-Bethesda: Doomguy/the Doom Slayer, from Doom
-Rockstar: again, I know next-to-nothing about Rockstar's games. The only one that I've played is Red Dead Redemption, so John Marston?
-Marvelous: Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes
-Naughty Dog: Crash Bandicoot
-Vicarious Visions: this seems really redundant given the presence of Naughty Dog (VV mostly seems to have developed licensed games or Crash games), but I'll go with Spyro; I think he was in Skylanders
-Activision: now I'm assuming that you REALLY wanted everyone to list Crash Bandicoot. Since I've already listed him and Spyro, Activision doesn't seem to have much left that I have any interest in. Maybe Xavier Stone from Guitar Hero, since he's basically Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Iridium]

I Doubledair you to disprove that leak.

Really though. How much do you bet Game Freak would name Ditto's evolution Samesies?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

The death toll has actually risen to 37.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/09/asia/japan-earthquake-death-toll/index.html

This article has a bunch of up to date information regarding the earthquake. Lots of people are still missing, so it's still ongoing, unfortunately.

Correction then.

I hadn’t seen that. Last I checked it was 17. Thanks for the heads up.

Just checked: it says 39 on another site.

Pretty sure Sony Owns Q*Bert

Confirmed that neither CoroCoro or Famitsu will leak anything about the Direct.

https://t.co/TbO8GSaTtE
Here's what the new CoroCoro will feature.

The Pokemon Let's Go is a contest to win the game.

— Will (PushDustIn) (@PushDustIn) September 10, 2018

Famitsu usually takes 2 weeks to cover a direct, so it's not that likely.
Nintendo would've told them not to feature the info in the next magazine.

— Will (PushDustIn) (@PushDustIn) September 10, 2018

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Also, since most Final Smashes are cinematic/straightforward now, what if ’s new Final Smash became a cutscene where she forces her opponents into a tea party and them drinking the tea she made was revolting KOing them out of disgust?

‘s will be probably be like and /‘s while keeps his dragon mode but turns it into a cutesy version of ‘s or alternatively a simple beam attack.

10/10 would main Peach just for that alone

 

[RileyXY1]

I don't think that a new character is going to be revealed in CoroCoro. They almost never cover Smash.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Really though. How much do you bet Game Freak would name Ditto's evolution Samesies?

Well, Lickitung's evolution is named Lickylicky... and we have a Pokemon named Seel. I don't think it'll get an evolution, but the name sounds right up the alley of badly uninspired.

Again, I trust Dustin with my life, but tread carefully saying it's full on confirmed.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Ummm....

There probably won't be a CoroCoro leak that features new information about Smash or the direct. There is usually a delay when it comes to print magazines and information, and Nintendo would account for that situation, if it was possible, in their decision to delay. https://t.co/AWxVQNqCnw

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Well so much for that. Seems we will have to wait for the new rescheduled direct after all.

 

[DarthEnderX]

God, i just want the new date of the direct to be announced already to get this thread back to normal.

You mean linking random leaks and trying to pretend they aren't all fake?

I'm enjoying the change of pace.

 

[Just a random scrub]

I found this leak:

Spoiler

http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/430959934#p430960336

Good day everyone. I have insider information on Smash Ultimate. Here’s the information I have.
>Skull Kid is revealed in the Nintendo Direct. In his trailer Young Links Final Smash is revealed, a flurry of blows from Fierce Deity, like the Triforce Slash.Black Shadow is also revealed as a Captain Falcon Echo.
>Bandana Dee and Magalor are both in the game.
>Decidueye is in the game as a playable fighter, not Incineroar.
>Isaac is in the game with Felix as an Echo.
>Geno is in the game.
>The last newcomers that will be revealed are Banjo and Kazooie.
>The remaining echo fighters are Shadow, Ken, Isabelle, and Medusa.
>There is a Dry Bowser alternate skin for Bowser. It turns his neutral special purple.

>Spirits mode is a spiritual successor to Subspace Emissary. The levels are not original creations and take inspiration from characters’ worlds, like Melee’s Adventure Mode. I don’t have story details, as my source didn’t want to spoil it, but I was told it’s as good as Brawl’s and

>103 is not the final stage count.

>Chibi-Robo, Custom Robo are both assist trophies.

>Flamberge, Francisca, and Zan Partizanne are also one assist trophy.

>Stage Builder is back and is a lot better.

>Every character has their own Break the Targets stage. Board the Platforms does not return.

>Neither Smash Run nor Smash Tour are returning.

>Custom moves do not return, with the exception of the Mii Fighters. Medusa borrows some of Palutena’s custom moves from Smash 4, however.

I think it's real because it has both Bandana Dee and Magolor, my two most wanted newcomers.

SIGH..... Aside from the Custom moves not returning, I love everything about this "leak" to pieces and then some (and don't hate what I don't particularly care for). This would pretty much be my best timeline.

Just makes it hurt even more that it's probably not true.... (goes in corner to cry)

 

[Deleted member]

Again, I trust Dustin with my life, but tread carefully saying it's full on confirmed.

At this point I'm calling confirmed because I just want this whole conversation to be over when we already have an insider that is telling the facts lmao

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Well so much for that. Seems we will have to wait for the new rescheduled direct after all.

Or for some Jerk to legitimately leak it

 

[Deleted member]

Since we all just exhausted every possible discussion topic, I’m reviving an old one since I thought it was fun and it’s almost time for scariest time of the year.


If we got Halloween costumes for characters, which ones do you want to see? This is only for confirmed newcomers. No limit. The whole cast or just one character.

Ooh, sounds fun.
Jigglypuff- Koffing Costume (Purple in color with a painted skull/crossbones on its back)
Mewtwo- Mecha-Mewtwo...or whatever his Armoured-clad self was called in the Pokemon movie
Bowser- Wedding Tuxedo (if it's not already in)
Cloud- Sephiroth mask and a long silver wig
Simon Belmont- Dracula costume (Long black cape, fake fangs, and white facepaint to look 'undead')
Ryu- Yamcha costume
Mega-man- Astroboy costume

 

[Kuon]

Gee I sure hope number 69 isn't Elma.

Or Shantae

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Mona is a good wildcard choice for Smash, she has yet to been seen in the game so its likely if we are to get another Warioware character especially considering everybody loves the Mona Pizza theme.. And Warioware Gold just came out recently so she could promote that so Wario can make more money

One more thing worth mentioning, the storyline of Warioware Gold is literally Wario hosting a "Smash tournament" with his micro games.

 

[Deoxys911]

Although, if we get no. 68, we get this sexy mofo.

Man, imagine getting a Pokemon newcomer that isn't from Gen VII. Would throw discussions on a wild ride.

Imagine getting another Pokémon fighter that is from Gen. I. That would throw discussions on course for a wild ride.

for Ness or Lucas, but maybe Lucas would make more sense considering the hair.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ok base on that the 13th sounds right then

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Gee I sure hope number 69 isn't Elma.

But.. Its all about Elma! #GiveElmaAChance

 

[PushDustIn]

Don't expect Japanese magazines to feature information from the delayed direct. Nintendo's media team would've called these companies and worked with them if that info was going to release so soon. Reorganizing the media plan is probably what's taking Nintendo so long to announce when the direct will be.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Or for some Jerk to legitimately leak it

Or plot twist: The character has already been leaked but it's one of those 4chan rumors that's been automatically dismissed.

Hi Dustin!!! Miss your leakbusting thanks for doing God's work yet again
Do you yourself have any expectations on when the Direct will air?
I personally don't mind waiting because I feel the situation in Japan is infinitely more important than some games, but I figure you'd have the most idea out of any of us.

 

[Arcadenik]

Team Rocket with Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing would take me on an unstoppable hype train.

 

[lightdrago]

If anyone’s wondering, there’s been no update on the blog, and they usually update at 9:00 PM for me.

Two newcommers Huh?...

 

[Aurane]

>300+ people.

Rip.

- mermaid
- ghost (a literal sheet cutout)
- mad scientist
- vampire, for the irony
- some kinda Super Sentai/Power Ranger type thing
- pirate
- Detective
- Daft Punk-style emoting helmet
- witch. And I mean traditional witch, much to her cries of “that’s stereotyping!”
- zombie
- Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland
- Rad 80’s/90’s(TM) getup
- 50’s style diner waiter cause he’s an adorable dork like that
- angel
- devil
- nobleman/noblewoman (which means shoes lmao)
:ultrobin - Punk Rockers
- Astronaut
- Cupid. So basically himself
- werewolf
- mummy
- baseball player
and - switched outfits
- Skull Kid just to troll everyone


And for the slightly more fanservice-y ones cause what’s Halloween without fanservice
- nurse
- cat girl
- fairy
- cowgirl
- female genie
And - Muay Thai fighters (HELP THIS IS TOO HOT I CANT — )

 

[Waluigi is not getting in]

If there’s no blog update that means we could’ve gotten more information than we thought.

 

[Potato_]

Two newcommers Huh?...

It COULD hint to that but it very well could simply just be something else we haven't seen yet. Or they're just going to continue to not show us anything until the direct.

Basically, keep hype low for now.

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Everything here makes sense except the Pokemon, because of course Incineroar is playable over that other one.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

-Capcom: Amaterasu
-Atlus: Morgana

Do you want to see the world burn?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Or plot twist: The character has already been leaked but it's one of those 4chan rumors that's been automatically dismissed.

That would be hilarious. It would be the ESRB leak all over again... Just on a much smaller scale...

 

[Icedragonadam]

It makes we wonder if we'll get some double updates not on music day then.

 

[Dee Dude]

You know...despite her lack of demand, Ashely being massively more requested, and not caring for a Wario newcomer.

I actually wouldn’t mind Mona being playable for Smash, she’s basically Wario’s Peach anyway.

Goku? Pfff yeah right, so fake, on to the next one
