Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Moydow]

A question to all the boomers ITT: When was the first time you played Smash Bros and who was your main?

(technically I don't count as a boomer, but whatever, I'm close enough judging by the people around here)
Probably some time around when Smash 64 was released (so 2000 or so), I had a friend who owned it. I played Luigi because I always played Luigi in everything back then.

The first game I owned myself was Melee, I got that when it released. I played Marth, so much that the disc actually broke. A few years later I picked up Fire Emblem on GBA, and the rest is history. :p

When your thirsty for Ultimate but realize it's still months away.

[Sleeps with Butterflies]

I'm not a boomer, but something people seem to have a hard time believing is that my first smash bros was actually 64. My mom got a gamecube, but didn't get Melee until I was old enough to see it in the store and ask for it. I remember being very excited for Brawl on release day too.
I was way too young to have a main though, I just remember my brother and I called Ness Floaty Mario because we had no idea who he was

That reminds me of the old days of Nintendo Power and Walmart demos. I remember playing Melee on their kiosk for hours. I just couldn't get enough of that Peach and Zelda goodness.

 

[P.Kat]

I'm going to sleep. I know we are desperate for Directs, but if we continue to be like this, we can't get any sleep.

Goodnight!

Good Night take care.

Super Smash Bros. is going on 20. It's really getting to be an old man! (Cranky Kong confirmed?)

 

[Iridium]

I can take Shulk's frame data any day but please just make Backslash better or remove it, it's so bad. There's literally no situation in where it's optimal.

Have it start frame 1 and end frame 3. Just imagine the movement on the ground!

Seriously though, spamming that on the ground would be too much.

That's... barely middle aged, man.

 

[zeldasmash]

I made an account here when I was like 14, posted 1 roster, forgot about it. Was confused as all hell when my usual email was already used here, when I did a password recovery and saw my old username, a wave of embarrassment passed over me as a remembered how outright ******** I was. I'm 21 and a senior in college now, and hopefully am a much more respectful person and have a better idea of how Smash works.

You and I are in the same boat. I was unbelievably stupid when I first started here. All I was doing was basically being Link's #1 fanboy proclaiming he was at least mid tier in Brawl (please repeat that slowly...). I was extremely stupid. Thankfully I'm 22 and I've since matured substantially since those days and hopefully I've grown in the eyes of some of the people that saw me as quite the idiot back then.

 

[Hinata]

I still remember my first experience with Smash Bros. I was a dumb kid, up late in the night playing 64, and I actually woke my mom up at like 2 in the morning to ask her to play with me.

The best part is she actually did.

 

[The_Killah29]

26 year old boomer. Played the first one back in 2000. My main was Link and he's now one of my top 5.

That's really wholesome and sweet actually, made me smile

My mom and brother beat Tabuu for me when I was a bratty little kid.

Attention Smash Ultimate Discussions thread:

It has brought to the moderating staff’s attention that this thread has largely been off-topic with little discussion going into Smash Ultimate. This is understandable as we don’t have our promised Direct as it got postponed and a severe drought of new information. But this is not a free pass to post whatever is in your head at a given time. This is a discussion thread, not a social thread. This is the social thread. If you want to discuss what you ate for breakfast or what Wario smells like after running a long time, please post there.

This thread, by agreement of the staff, is dangerously close to being closed for a limited time. This not one persons doing but the group as a whole. Generally, off-atopic rules are laxed here but there are still standards.

General off-topics includes:

• Character discussion that originate from non-video game franchises such as Marvel and Star Wars characters, Spongebob, Shrek, Rick and Morty, MLP, and real world figures (please keep conversation concerning these characters short as pronlonges conversation would be considered off-topic)
• Memes/picture only posts
• Video only posts
• Quoting someone and saying “this”
• Fake leaks that are obviously made by you
• Fake leaks including fake Direct announcements
• Discussing character content that has no bearing in Smash (sexual history and sexual preference are examples)
• Smashboards problems and issues
• Taking about users on other sites
• Picking a user and flaming/trolling them
• Talking about banned users
• One-off posts with a quick joke and punchlines
• Other general topic conversations that are obviously obvious off-topic and me spelling them out for you would be a waste of al of our times and energy

Again, the staff understands that it’s hard to keep on topic when all the topics have been discussed but that doesn’t mean everyone has participated in them. However, the staff can’t keep looking away and shrugging when we see blatant off-topic posting in a thread not designed and intended for that. Continued off-topic posting will result in a thread close followed by stricter moderation concerning off-topic and spammy posts. This is basically a final warning.

There are still tons of things left to discuss and two about ranging from characters, stages, franchises, items, music, and other goodies. And if you got nothing, tag one of the mods and perhaps we can help steer people in an interesting conversation related to Smash. We also recognize several users who have tried to steer the conversation to be more on-topic; especially in the last few pages. That’s a very good start and let’s keep trying to going in that direction. Remember to always report, don’t respond, when you see a troublesome post. Let the mods deal with it. Responding to spam/trolling/flaming is basically spam in of itself.

Precisely.
I feel like it's been over-memed to the point where they made it its own special move that's extremely slow just to show off "HEY, SHULK'S DOING THE THING YOU GUYS LIKE." when in reality, it should be like, what, a forward smash at most?

 

[Luigi The President]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

 

[Iridium]

You're 19? I still have different standards for what I consider old, and I generally don't consider that close. No harm meant at all.

Edit: You're fortunate to have someone around who cared to play with you. I can't say the same at this point. I'm a bit lonely...

 

[Idon]

I want them to finish that Gaur Plain remix and Engage the Enemy Remix they used for Shulk's trailer.

I'm not a boomer

(technically I don't count as a boomer

Boomer now means "age is in the double digits". Don't ask, memes are dumb.

 

[Originality]

I hope we get a good amount of Splatoon 2 music despite Splatoon 1 being the draw for Inklings. Especially the Octo Expansion but those are probably way too recent.

 

[monadoboy]

Yeah, I'm so glad someone finally made a video on his issues.
Everytime I bring it up, it's non-stop "BUT HIS RANGE THOUGH!" as if that makes up for his terrible... everything.

Keef accurately represents my emotions regarding him.

I'd be satisfied if Buster and Speed buffed his frame data

 

[lightdrago]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

I’ve been listening to this recently. Really brings back the nostalgia:

God, having PMD rep in anyway would be awesome, whether it be Primal Dialga as a boss or the Time Gears as items.

 

[Will]

Spider-man/Batman/Spongebob/any other largely non-video game character in Smash

How is that exactly off topic?

 

[Meritocracy]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

I'd love some low lyrics EDM tracks, some Marshmello, and a little karaoke versions of alan walker tracks, they make nice backround music, and usually take place in the back of my mental montages

 

[Xephilon]

We're talking about ages now? The effect from the Direct drought is much worse than I feared...

Welp I'm 25. But to say something Smash relevant:
GIVE ME NEKU OR SORA, PLEASE SAKURAI

 

[Sleeps with Butterflies]

I just want Dixie in with a roller coaster level (from DKC2) and a faaaaaaaaaabulous remix of "Disco Train" to go along with it.

 

[Crap-Zapper]

How would you guys think; "Dire Dire Docks" could work?
Love the song, but the original would not suit a fight that much.

After listening to Gangplank Galleon's epic genre change, I was wondering what arrangement DDD could take to make it work for fighting, while still be it's beautiful self.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

More Sonic music

 

[?????????????]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

Uncontrollable and Oblivia.

 

[PsySmasher]

My man Future Trunks.

I once imagined a moveset for him that made him a mix of fast punches and sword strikes with a bit of ki blasts, but I'm too lazy to write it out.

Are we talkin' Base Future Trunks, Super Saiyan Future Trunks, Super Trunks, Dragon Ball Super Future Trunks, (DBS) Super Saiyan Trunks, (DBS) Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks, or Super Saiyan Anger Future Trunks?

 

[Iridium]

I'd be satisfied if Buster and Speed buffed his frame data

By how much? Do you suggest a universal change, or varied? I don't mind, honestly.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

This thread is gonna be closed because we are “off topic”?

[Potato_]

Alright we've got Midna's Lament in, so for another sadder song I'd love to see the composers do a different take on this:

Honestly I could go all day with tracks I'd LOVE to see, here are some more:

Spoiler

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Because they don’t have a chance to be in Smash.

Again, we understand if it’s a quick conversation but it shouldn’t dominate the conversation and drown out actual meaningful discussion. And that’s also what the social is for.

Talking about Rick and Morty in Smash is off-topic.

 

[Misery Brick]

I’ve been listening to this recently. Really brings back the nostalgia:

God, having PMD rep in anyway would be awesome, whether it be Primal Dialga as a boss or the Time Gears as items.

I do understand why Sakurai and the rest of the Smash team doesn't really pull from spin-off games as compared to mainline ones. As the mainline games are definitive and iconic compared to the others, and I completely understand that.
However, you're definitely missing out with not including stuff from Pokémon's side of things and a couple of other franchises. It honestly sucks to see that he doesn't use it, because like in the case of PMD, there's a lot of amazing stuff to pull from.

as for mainline games, just give me Zinnia's theme please. It doesn't even have to be remixed, just port the track into the game.

Got a few favorites i'm going to put in a spoiler tag

Spoiler: le videos

 

[Meritocracy]

While I don't think I minecraft should have a playable charecter, I think a stage would be amazing, but in a perfect world, we'd have three stages, one for the end, one for the nether, and one for the overworld, I honestly would highly enjoy a minecraft stage, anyone else's thoughts?

 

[Will]

Because they don’t have a chance to be in Smash.

Even if it's a hypothetical or if someone is genuinely curious? Man that kinda blows.

 

[Moydow]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

- The entire oeuvre of Yuzo Koshiro for the Etrian Odyssey series (e.g. the original soundtrack of Etrian Odyssey IV)
- Twilight of the Gods - Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
- Many tracks from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, in particular Eldigan the Lionheart, Doorway to Destiny, Versus Julius, Leif's Army in Search of Victory - Leif
- Pursuit - Cornered - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

I could go on, but I'll be satisfied with just a few of these.

 

[Majora's Visage]

Okay guys what music do you want to see in Ultimate

If we are getting more Zelda music and if Skull Kid gets in I would love more Majora's Mask music. Specifically Stone Tower Temple or a remix of it.

Paper Mario fans got 1 with 3 transformations so y'all gonna get that too
