Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[smashingDoug]

I’d have a Zelda fighting game, maybe a 3D one like Pokken, but a 2D one would be just as cool.

1) Link (styled like Ocarina, and using items from that game)
2) Zelda (in pink dress like Ultimate)
3) Ganon (based on the original boar-like appearance)
4) Link of the Past (based on and using items from Link to the Past, like the boomerang, fire and ice rods, and hammer)
5) Sheik
6) Ganondorf
7) Masked Link (using items from Majora’s Mask, being able to change between the four forms)
8) Tingle
9) Skull Kid
10) Toon Link (using items from Wind Waker, like the Deku Leaf and Skull Hammer, and maybe also some from Phantom Hourglass)
11) Tetra
12) Toon Ganon (based on and using his two swords from Wind Waker)
13) Vaati
14) Twilight Link and Midna (being able to switch between Wolf Link with Midna riding, and human form using items from Twilight Princess like the spinner and ball & chain)
15) Zant
16) Link of the Sky (using items from Skyward Sword, like the gust bellows, whip, and beetle)
17) Ghirahim
18) Groose
19) Champion Link (using abilities from BotW, like the tunes and the four Champion powers)
20) Impa (based on her appearance in BotW, and playing like the Moz Koshia boss fight)

No guest characters really. I’m not even sure what series they could be from.

Soulcalibur character for guest?

The hype train is back on track, in what has been a week later.

As much as Sly Cooper being on Nintendo anything is impossible, at least Sucker Punch is still alive and doing things. They did a N64 game once, but that's barely much of a justification or loophole, really.

That date is still a rumor, I’d wait until Nintendo officially tweets about it

 

[Pakky]

The Wii Fit trainer and the dog from Duck Hunt got movesets, but the main antagonist of a Zelda game with a powerful magical mask is the one you can't see beating up anyone?

Now that we have plenty of wood we can lite the stove!

I'll get the ham

 

[Deleted member]

If he uses the ocarina as a weapon in Smash though they should try and make it significantly less irritating to listen to

I have no idea what you're talking about. Why, is this not music to your ears?:

I need an album of Skull Kid's greatest hits. I particularly liked the part where he went "phwoo. EHHEEEHEEHEEEHAAAHAHA".

 

[IGuessItsOver]

2 days left for the Direct, and this time's for real!

What character do you want to see revealed?
I'm hoping for either Geno or Shantae.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

That date is still a rumor, I’d wait until Nintendo officially tweets about it

Let's hope the official announcement is at least tomorrow, or NL will end up looking like a bunch of buffoons.

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

So we've got a rumor for a direct for the 13th. The site is in English, so its probably Western 13th; Japan 14th...which means we're back to a Thursday direct again. Hopefully we'll get some kind of announcement either later today or tomorrow. If it was an exact week later, chances are the announcement will mirror the same time as the first.

I kinda wish other systems or genres could do their own version of Smash Brothers without totally crapping the bed like Sony did. I bought PASBR hoping it would be good, but that stupid battle system where a Special was the only way to get e KO was ridiculously stupid. I use to juggle and beat the ever loving garbage out of people with Heihachi, but if you whiff on a special, you had to build up the meter all over again! It sucked! What a waste of potential....

Jump has a good thing going with their whole anime-themed fighter too, but the mechanics just seem wonky to other fights. I understand wanting it to be more of an arena fighter, but couldn't you mimic another long running, popular fighter you have? Like Ninja Storm, if you're not going to to a Smash style battle?

Well...rant aside...let's play a game. Create a new Smash Brothers-inspired Game with the following rules:
*20 Characters Max
*Smash Brothers Battle Style
*Summoning Optional (Pokeball/Assist Trophies)
*Themes can be: Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Anime, Specific Game series (like Final Fantasy, Wild Arms, or Tales Of...), Comics, or Movies (Non-Superhero)
*A max of 3 'Guest' characters outside your chosen Theme allowed

Just to throw out a quick idea/example, here's a Final Fantasy themed one
1) Cloud
2) Tifa
3) Sephiroth
4) Terra
5) Locke
6) Celes
7) Kefka
8) Squall
9) Rinoa
10) Seifer
11) Ultimecia
12) Zidane
13) Garnet
14) Vivi
15) Kuja
16) Barret (too lazy to edit all the numbers since I forgot him lol)
17) Gilgamesh
18) (Dragon Quest Guest) Erdrick
19) (Tales of... Guest) Yuri Lowell
20) (Persona Guest) Joker

I feel like this could be a thread of its own cause it can be so extensive. I have two Games I'd like to see with the smash engine:


Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter

1. Ryu
2. Ken
3. M. Bison
4. Blanka
5. Vega
6. Dalsim
7. Chun-Li
8. Guile
9. E. Honda
10. Zangeif
11. Scorpion
12. Sub-Zero
13. Lui Kang
14. Johnny Cage
15. Sonja Blade
16. Jax
17. Shang Tsung
18. Kano
19. Kitana
20. Raiden


Dragonball

1. Goku
2. Vegita
3. Young Gohan
4. Adult Gohan
5. Goten
6. Young Trunks
7. Adult Trunks
8. Piccolo
9. Krillin
10. Frezia
11. Android 17
12. Android 18
13. Cell
14. Fat Buu
15. Evil Buu
16. Kid Buu
17. Yamcha
18. Nappa
19. Young Goku
20. Brolly

 

[**Gilgamesh**]

Why isn’t that the dumbest Etika rumor out there...leader of the Joy Con Boyz not being a Nintendo fan is ridiculous

And his overreactions (plus secret love for Minecraft) is one of the reasons why people love him

Drama involving other Youtubers ****ing with his friends (and then they get eviscerated), but none actually about him specifically

And cried when he got Tharja killed

Respectable opinion, but his overhype towards something he loves shows he’s passionate about Nintendo (though he might need to learn how to calm that heart down)

Why are people bringing up Etika in the first place? Only thing he's really known for is his reactions which is why ZeRo, Nairo and others who were discussing Smash Ultimate modes and potential rules just paused and said okay????when the chat wanted Etika (he never was added). Etika is overrated and I see little merit in discussing overreactions. I'd rather watch someone who's more knowledgeable react. I will never understand casuals.

 

[potato69]

Didn't Capcom make those? Or only Minish Cap?

Yep, which means that Capcom is responsible for some of the coolest Zelda villains (Vaati pls come back)

 

[Chron]

I need an album of Skull Kid's greatest hits. I particularly liked the part where he went "phwoo. EHHEEEHEEHEEEHAAAHAHA".

Well, I can't give you that, but I do have this:

 

[MasterOfKnees]

2 days left for the Direct, and this time's for real!

What character do you want to see revealed?
I'm hoping for either Geno or Shantae.

I still hope it's Skull Kid, but I'm not sure how confident I am of it being him. Bandana Dee or Geno would also do, and if an echo is revealed I'd love Black Knight.

I can't really be disappointed though, anything I get from here on out are just bonuses.

Gotta say I agree.

ZeRo and Ein Sam( I think that's how its spelled) were good views for me when K.Rool came out.

One of his hit greatest singles is "TOOT TOOT TOOTOOTOOT EEEEHEHEHEHHEHEYAHAHAHAHAHA *noises of grunts getting sent flying*"

My hopes are the characters in my sig.

My expectation is Incineroar, with maaaaaaybe a surprise Echo reveal.

 

[So_many_mails]

I'm really surprised Ken isn't expected by most people. He's iconic, and an easy Echo.

Shadow and Ken both seem almost certain to me

At least give me Elma pls Sakurai

I can see Isabelle happening too

Don't make the same mistake I did.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ken is expected. Especially because Verg said Ken is in

I just don't think he's talked about a lot because while expected, people don't necessarily want them

 

[Kuon]

If the number of thread replies dictate how popular a character is, then Daisy is one of the most popular characters on Smashboards.

I wouldn't worry about it. Just because Isabelle's thread isn't always active doesn't mean the support doesn't exist.

True that. I think the most popular right now are Isaac, Ashley, Shantae and then Geno, according to their respective threads

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Don't make the same mistake I did.

At least everyone will probably forget about it at least two days later to talk about Pokemon again.

Or Mickey Mouse's chances in Smash. Or some other inane topic like that...

Elma, Bandanna Waddle Dee, Or A Rhythn Heaven Rep

While I do think it'll air on the 13th, this doesn't add up. Seems like timezones are too hard for whoever made that post, but, the Platinum Train thing specifically says 9/13 as their date, but if the direct airs on the 13th on that specific hour for us, that'll be 7am 9/14 for them, so it has nothing to do with whatever that twitter account just twitted.

Edit: Lmao it's nintendolife. This site is pretty garbage and usually posts very incorrect info.

 

[Chron]

I would be overjoyed with any one of:
Skull Kid
Ashley
Misty(Echo)
Lyn
Monika

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Are we sure the direct is in two days? I don't wanna get my hopes up.

 

[Kuon]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being a casual

 

[Michele]

Nintendo Life is reporting on this rumor, and now GameXplain is reporting too.

When several sites report on the rumor, the credibility raises, though not always.

I said that earlier too. Haha, so it's pretty funny that people are still posting it without actually reading it.

Which Ashley? I'm guessing you don't mean the WarioWare Ashley

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Ashley

Ashley and Lyn have already been seen as ATs, sorry to say

 

[Chron]

Oh yeah forgot bout that.

You'd think GameXplain would know better, but then again they somehow didn't know about no new Snake codecs being recorded yet until recently.

 

[staindgrey]

Ken is expected. Especially because Verg said Ken is in

I just don't think he's talked about a lot because while expected, people don't necessarily want them

As a Ken main myself in SF3 and vanilla SFIV, I really don't want Ken in as an echo.

Just make him a Ryu costume. No one's going to care.

 

[Megadoomer]

Are we sure the direct is in two days? I don't wanna get my hopes up.

We don't have confirmation, but going by Splatoon 2 datamining, content that was going to be released on the day of the Direct was pushed back to this Thursday, which seems like a sign.

 

[Michele]

You'd think GameXplain would know better, but then again they somehow didn't know about no new Snake codecs being recorded yet until recently.

What I love about Gamexplain is not how quickly the youtuber posts. The thing I love the most is how when they explain, they make it more clearer.

 

[Deleted member]

The Direct being on Thursday makes sense. Splatoon's update data was set to go live last week the day of the Direct for Japan, but got pushed back exactly one week after the delay. My guess is the Direct is gonna have a Splatoon segment with "Available now!" content discussed.

Regardless, we'll know soon enough. If it is on Thursday, they'll make an announcement sometime tomorrow morning.

But... so did we? What's your point?
