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.

It hasn't even leaked yet outside of an announcement or two.
I mean a lot has come out over the last few days. The Megaman 11 demo, Civilization, all the Starlink stuff, the new Pokemon Let's Go special edition Switch, Crystal Chronicles Remaster...

I imagine a lot of that was for the direct

Everybody just chill. It's a videogame announcement. If it's not this week it'll probably be next week. There's a million other things to occupy yourself with. No reason to act like you lack any motive to live other than Smash news.
I think peoples wouldn't care that much if we got atleast a date, not necessarily one in this week, but just knowing when it will happen would make peoples much more chill about waiting.

Mega Man 11 getting a demo was already known, Civilization was leaked yeah, Starlink was from PAX, I kinda doubt the Direct was gonna have all this Lets Go info because they rarely do and Crystal Chronicles, well, was probably being saved for TGS and we would've gotten the Pocket Edition trailer.

This kind of makes me sad guys... because throughout the whole summer, we used to be much stronger than this.

Where has that gone ya'll?!

Well during the summer there wasn't a direct delay and we were still in everyone is here hype mode.

I really hope Samurai Spirits can be on the Switch so I can argue for a character in Smash so I can play it
SNK character will probably be Terry or Marco tho as much as cool musashi would be (Mitsurugi would make for a cool echo, but then the lack of Takamaru will just lap me on the face). Also that parasol guy in the 3rd game is qt

It's an addiction, the more we get Smash news, the less we can go on without some news.

Especially since we got so much at E3 after months of waiting, waiting and waiting, combine that with the fact the game will be out much earlier compared to other Smash games, and the cycle of wait & news is much more out of control this time around.

I think what's making us particularly mental this time is that we know it's close, we just don't know how close.

No later than Thursday is my estimation.

The starlink Starfox footage came out this weekend and Pax was two weeks ago, how was it from Pax?

I don't think everything has leaked from the direct (obviously) but I do think we will see some stuff we already know about, however small.

So hype from all the info from last Direct has gone by it's expiration date.?

TBQH I'm tad afraid that the way we're starving this bad for info, we might end up getting underwhelmed or disappointed by what the Direct might end up offering, if it's much less than we expected it to be.

Streets of Rage is getting a sequel, Cody is in Street Fighter V, Shenmue 3 is happening, and Fighting Layer Ex is a thing

Lots of cool 90s and early 2000s revivals right now. Powerstone next pls?
Somewhere in the dilapidated catacombs of the Capcom heaquarters, a lone electrician is braving the dark to find the cut in a phone line. He was assured by Capcom that there was nothing of importance down there. Fix the cable and touch nothing, they said.

It was hard to see and messy. He stumbles uneasily, tripping over one pile of debris after another, finally stopped by a large clang. Amid the scattered contents of a rusty file cabinet he finds an aged paper unseen by human eyes since its conception. He shines his flashlight on it.

"Copyright Document...P... Power Stone?"

He was never heard from again.

If there is no Smash news in this Direct, do not bang and cry about it.
Remain calm about that situation. You can scream in joy if a game you want gets released though.

The last smash game, I was in the calm portion of my life.
This one, I'm barely able to keep up with speculation.

I know the game is coming. I'm older and, in theory, more patient.
I'm happy to rewatch Aug.8 until the new Direct comes out.

WOW. Smash bros release windows may be inversely related to my maturation.

While I agree with the sentiment I don't know if a bunch of people going "People, calm yourselves" is gonna make people calm themselves

Even then, this Direct's most likely gonna have much less info than before. That's all we might end up doing with for another month, maybe even more so.
So we better prepare to do what we have.

I understand you guys getting frustrated waiting for the direct, I'm a little confused why they haven't put out a single statement regarding it yet, but you're all acting like this is all you have in your lives and you're being starved. Play some vidya, replay some vidya, read a book, work out, go out some. There's likely a lot to look forward to in the direct, but I refuse to believe so many of you have absolutely nothing to do other than wait for this. :p

I can only bash my head against Godmaster for so long though, time to play some other games.

You mean Shizumaru?

Haohmaru and Mitsurugi don't fight similarily at all but anyway I was thinking more Nakoruru since she could also work

Probably just Smash,

I guarantee Smash will be in it. It is Nintendo's only huge game in 2018 they NEED to market it

Edit: Plus nothing on the blog when the direct was canceled
