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 learned that Satoru Iwata's birthplace was Hokkaido. So, delaying the Direct because of the earthquake probably meant even more to Nintendo than we thought.

I know this isn't really the most appropriate time to say this, but I just stumbled upon this info when looking up stuff about Hokkaido.

Don't get killed by blue thing and its dinosaur friend :ultridley:
:p This is going to be the MOST complicated step of all. Definitely. There should be an extra step after this one that says "Hide a 1 Up Mushroom in your pocket just in case", that is, if it doesn't get stolen by that same pair to screw you over.

Wait, this isn't about the pony posts, was it? I hope not, I really wasn't trying to troll; we had joked around about it in the thread in the past and that's why I made my joke reaction post.

I really am sorry if I offended anyone, that definitely wasn't my intention.
Hey friend, I'm no mod but I'm pretty certain LST meant the person that randomly posted "pokemon sucks". Don't be sorry!

They were talking about the bad take "pokemon stinks."

Ike is canonically the gay Fire Emblem character.

Don't ****ing @ me.
I've always wondered what makes people think this, anyways. Yeah I know the stuff everybody usually brings up but none of it really points to Ike being gay. I've always just seen him as probably bisexual, or just not caring since he's too chad for that ****.

I'm skeptical if those should be dealt with, but ones that are clearly just saying "this thing sucks" are trolling. That was more what I meant.

Most people do say he's the bi one, given he has a biological descendant later on and can get with a gal in one of the endings, I think?

But yeah.

At the end of one of his games (probably the second one) he runs away with trash/Soren or Fire Emblem's cat OC Ranulf.

Y'know. I've seens some people say "who's Richter? I've never even heard of him!" but then turn around and say "OMG I loooooooove Symphony of the Night" and then I have to restrain from shouting FAKE FAN with all my might. Richter is a huge part of the story of that game too so if you've played SotN you know about Richter.


I'm pretty sure Ike nailed Elincia AND Soren. So, Bi is probably correct.

Robin: It's Still Pair Up, but Chrom Is Replaced with Someone else...
Morgan would be the easiest person to throw in there, since you just need to shrink Robin's model and change the hair. Though I genuinely hope it's someone else from Awakening. Cordelia, Tharja, Owain, Lissa or Severa would all be awesome.

Oh, we're talking about gay Fire Emblem characters? That's like... my thing. There's tons of subtext everywhere for all kinds of FE characters. It's amazing.

So we know about most of the Final Smashes and thier names with Daisy, Richter, and Young Link being the only characters that we know basically nothing about though it can be surmised what they could potentially be.

What do you think? What are those three Final Smashes?

Additionally, we know the names of all the Final Smash’s save for Ridley, Donkey Kong, Fox, Faldo, Wolf, Dedede, Shiek, Snake, and Zamus. What do you think is thier names?

Finally, we know nothing of Final Smash’s are are currently under questionable as they were either transformative or seem to possess traits not akin to the current Final Smash design: Diddy Kong, Lucario, Peach, Yoshi, and Pair Up (due to Chrom). What do you think will be thier potentially new Final Smash?
I'll just do Daisy, cause I got a comically ingenious idea for her, that I'd like to see.

Daisy's Final Smash should be Crystal Moon Smack (or something like that), which she lunges at the opponent. If connected, she will then form crystals around her hand and hit the opponent so hard they go out of the stratosphere and into the moon. Then the moon falls on the ground and blows up behind Daisy, who looks all sassy and stuff.

So, kinda like this...

Combined with this...

And ending in this...

Yeah I've heard Priam be brought up a lot since he explicitly says he's descended from Ike. Honestly I doubt that any Nintendo character except maybe Soleil was written to be canonically gay. That's why I usually lean towards them being straight or bisexual, more often than not.

At the end of one of his games (probably the second one) he runs away with trash/Soren or Fire Emblem's cat OC Ranulf.
But that doesn't really carry any romantic connotations with it, unless I'm reading the in-game text wrong or something.

I won't even pretend my favorite Awakening characters would get the honor to be part of Robin's Final Smash.

Miriel, Lon'qu, Say'ri, Tiki... you will always be the final smash of my heart

I have to say - it's kinda annoying to watch all of these videos of people playing Smash and then ignoring all of the items unless they accidentally pick them up. I get that the competitive rulesets don't use them, but don't any casuals play the demos?
There’s casual demos, but most people don't seem to care for those
who marries Chrom to Robin? That is such a waste
Sumia > Robin (he can only marry into the family if it’s with one of Chrom’s sisters...or Lucina...while she marries whomever)

Blue hair Morgan on both Robins would also canonize... a few things

If you want my honest non-meme opinion.
Ike's probably not gay.
If anything signs point to him being asexual or straight.

Asexual due to him never, not once, showing a romantic inclination or thoughts of settling down.
He is a man's man. He fights to live and lives to fight. For Ike, having a romantic partner would probably just get in the way of what he truly loves doing.

Straight due to the issue of Priam. Now whether he's canon or not is an entirely different can of worms.
For the sake of this argument, assuming Priam, is, in fact an ancestor of Ike, that means Ike at one point of his post Radiant Dawn Journey had a child with a woman.
Now, there's the theory that Mist is his true ancestor, but that's stretching it in my opinion.
1. No signs point to that
2. Priam wouldn't be so proud of his heritage if he was only tangentially related to the Radiant Hero
3. The Ragnell is not the type of weapon that could so easily be given out to people not closely related to Ike.
4.

Now Soren on the other hand...
I'm not saying Soren's gay, but if there was one dude he'd do it with, we all know who it'd be.

It's called subtext, Steven

And theorizing and speculating based on ****ing chairs is okay?

Yeah, one's clearly the absurd one compared to the other

Here's an article I found on it.

https://lgbtqgamearchive.com/2016/09/05/ike-and-soren-in-fire-emblem-path-of-radiance/

It's, once again, completely up to the player to decide if Ike is actually gay/bi or not but I like to think he is.
And that's completely fine. Headcanon whatever you want, it ain't my place to try and invalidate it. I'm just trying to find a reason why so many people are convinced that Ike is canonically 100% gay, because I just don't see it. For Soren I can definitely see it but in the case of Ike I gotta agree with Idon Idon in that he's most likely ace or just doesn't care.

Also you can't tell me Peasley from Superstar Saga wasn't into Luigi
You can't tell me Luigi didn't feel something either. Peasley practically had him wrapped around his finger!

Also, it's really great how there's a really sizable amount of people who dedicate themselves to proving Bowser has homoerotic fantasies or subtext behind him.

Sometimes I pop into this dicussion to see if anything interesting is being discussed. And sometimes I am incredibly disappointed.

So here is something I think is interesting. Wasn't last week's Direct announcement the day before the Direct? If so, they will probably do the same.
