Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Also holy ****, I completely forgot we're getting new music today. Uhhh, what franchises are left to go through that hasn't been put up on the main website?

Final Fantasy

 

[NintenRob]

I wonder if it's possible we won't get the music, since it maybe have been a tie in to another character.


Of course K Rool is the only character to have their trailer music be put on the site so maybe not. Still could be a tie in

 

[Deleted member]

Final Fantasy

Sir, it is 4 AM in the morning where I am at, and I would like to eat well knowing the fact we're going to get Final Fantasy music in Smash, because it will happen. I am not doing Ursula's New Groove again.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Today's the day, never forget and everyone be safe.

Also holy ****, I completely forgot we're getting new music today. Uhhh, what franchises are left to go through that hasn't been put up on the main website?

Pokemon.

Honestly it’d be hilarious if Sakurai just put up a GoldenSun track tonight just to **** with everybody.

...

Still, if it were Skull Kid coming, then the site fails the "only one track per franchise" theory. And Isaac fails the "no new stages!" theory. So either we've made up rules for ourselves that have no basis in fact again, or Incineroar/Isabelle are the ones coming in the direct.

I am wondering if the music'll be delayed. Then again, they did have a week to rebrand random franchise #17 as the new song and give us the new one next week.

 

[Deleted member]

Dengeki is a magazine and said Nintendo has an announcement.

Dengeki Bunko is a fighting game with anime characters and a Green Hill stage

Kirito from SAO confirmed for Smash

I mean, he technically IS a videogame character

Honestly it’d be hilarious if Sakurai just put up a GoldenSun track tonight just to **** with everybody.

And it doesn't have a series icon :^)

 

[So_many_mails]

What time should we be expecting the direct announcement? A couple of hours from now right (if its today)?

 

[Guynamednelson]

Bonus points if it doesn't have the generic music note symbol.

 

[Deoxys911]

Isaac fails the "no new stages!" theory.

Come to think of it, if Isaac doesn't get his own stage for some reason, I guess we have a good idea what his makeshift homestage will be...

Link in case it's broken.

I would like to know as well, even Nintendo Life is left wondering what will be in that dang Direct.

Goooooooood morning everyone. Local crackpot theory poster in the path of a hurricane here to tell everyone else who is also going to be affected by it to be safe.

Thursday may very well be the direct date, but it also may very well be the day my power goes out so here's hoping that things stay a-okay

I don't think Bloody Tears was ever used in Simons trailer.

On the bright side I live much upper North. Please be safe though.

Has anyone spoken about this?

The Direct may have been moved to Thursday in Japan as this developer is hinting at an announcement for the 13th. https://t.co/KeaXDIdmej

If this is true, and the direct is Thursday in Japan that would make it tommorow in the west.

 

[DutchPichu]

Also holy ****, I completely forgot we're getting new music today. Uhhh, what franchises are left to go through that hasn't been put up on the main website?

To be exact: Star Fox, Pokémon, EarthBound, Ice Climber, Game & Watch, Kid Icarus, WarioWare, Sonic, Pikmin, R.O.B., Animal Crossing, Wii Fit, Punch-Out!!, Pac-Man, Xenoblade, Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy, Bayonetta.

(and Rhythm Heaven)

So they still have a lot of series to go through. Would expect Pokémon or Kid Icarus today.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well if we know nothing within the next 14 or so hours then we can assume that the direct needed a lot of re-configuring.

And then panic

This is what I'm thinking. 6pm EST tomorrow so it's Thursday morning in Japan.

General directs are usually at that time, I don't think it will be like that Smash direct where it's 10am EST but 11pm JST.

Calling an announcement today. Please?

 

[NintenRob]

Please be Thursday, please be Thursday.

If it's Friday like it was going to be last week, good chance I'd miss it.

If that thing hits Canada, remember me.

 

[NintenRob]

OK Anthony......


Is that the guys name from Other M? I don't remember

 

[Michele]

I'm hoping to call today for an Direct announcements. At 4chan, anons are getting so impatient and crazy.

 

[Pyra]

No worries. Don't think there's a chance that hurricane Florence will hit Canada.

Would kinda love that all things considered.

So with the old "day beforehand" formula, maybe today at 10 am will be the announcement after all.

So they only difference is the impatience?

 

[Dixie Kong]

I'm predicting it will come Thursday, but I hope its tomorrow since I would miss it that day.

Hello, Sakurai

I would like one order of "Clash On The Big Bridge" please, with a side of "Jazzy NYC".

Well...The difference is that on twitter, peoples are impatient.

But well, 4chan can be so strange. The difference I've noticed is that peoples are getting crazy. More like...They can't stop refreshing Twitter, and they can't even eat or drink.

 

[FurretBro]

Also, Geno or Isabelle would be hype for me, as they're my most wanted characters.

Geno because of reasons you should already know, and Isabelle because she's a great character in a great game which only has 1 rep. I'm thinking about maining Villager (I need to pick a main at some point that isn't Mewtwo) so having an echo fighter of him is something I dig.


(You know how Esam's reaction to Dark Samus was, that'd pretty much be mine)

That would be great, since I don't really enjoy Tuesdays (usually at work). I need something to look forward to.

Waiting for the Direct be like

So it ought to happen before people riot.

You and me both. I'm fleeing back to my family in West Virginia today lol best wishes your way my dude.

Also my prediction for the direct is one newcomer, one echo. Neither will need a new stage, however the next reveal will break the 103 rule.

I have my reputation riding on Isabelle.
I correctly guessed Ridley amongst my friends during that direct. ("What if the surprise is Ridley?" "No, that won't ever happen and you know it" *it's actually ridley* "Told you so"). They were shocked. I don't think I laughed that hard in forever.

I told one of them I feel like Isabelle is a fighter and he disagreed with me because, you know, the whole "doesn't seem like she'd fight" type thing. So, she has to be in now or I look foolish, and Sakurai wouldn't do that to me.

 

[Zinith]

I'm looking forward to Yoshi's Crafted World being shown...

Oh, and the newcomers for Smash I guess

At least you didn't promise to humiliate yourself with a costume, eating something that shouldn't be put in your mouth, or something like that.

Not that I would do any of that, this is why I hate bets.

What newcomer are you looking forward to the most, ironically or not? Also, you can list newcomers that did not originate from videogames.

 

[Zinith]

Boshi is my #1 for starters. And no, it's not an ironic pick.

Others that are on my mind are Skull Kid, Elma, Crash and Mike Jones

I really want Isabelle but thinking about her makes me pessimistic.

Sakurai seems to favor more 'hardcore' fighters this time (compare Inkling and Ridley with Villager and Wii Fit Trainer), alongside with older characters. Though, if she's an echo, I guess that wouldn't be a problem.

Rant is over.

One thing I hope for when the Direct eventually drops, is that whomever the character is, they don't get hate for being a disappointment. We've been antsy knowing that there is something to be revealed, and that anxiety can fuel disappointment if the character revealed doesn't meet "standards".

There's just as much chance to be a surprising/unpredictable character as there is an expected/fan favorite. Regardless of who it is, I hope we'll be appreciative of them when they do inevitably get revealed.

 

[Imadethistoseealeak]

Btw if you ever feel down in hype or feel like the newcomers are "predictable" go watch the Nintendo New York Ridley reveal. It's so awesome to watch so many people freak out lol.

Obviously only works if you care at least a little bit about Ridley's inclusion and what it meant for Sakurai to do that for the community.

This is basically what I was reffering to. This game is so ultimate, I'm hype for whatever is to be announced next!
