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.

Like, I'm inclined to believe Rival Schools is Mother 3-equivalent to all the fighting games out there. So much potential, yet so badly thrown away before it got to flourish. My poor, nostalgic childhood... :cry:

If you were to ask what'd make this Smash truly become Ultimate in my eyes... just include Batsu Ichimonji.

Or Ringo Andou from Puyo Puyo. Either way.

What would your reaction be if in the direct we get a trailer that reveals Skull Kid... and Sora, referencing the conflict of Darkness Vs. Light?

Oh, I thought they were professional. Oh well, moving on.

Having Chun-Li would be nice tho. Especially if her legs aren't toned down too much.



Still beats Rikuo.
Me: *wants Chun Li because I like the way she plays and she's my main in SF*
You: "hmm legs"
This is why we can't have nice things.

Sora would steal Skull Kid's spotlight completely in the entire internet community.

I rather wait any reactions when we actually get see something concrete finally though...

My top 5 most wanted SF songs

1. Alpha Menu Theme
2. Balrog Theme
3. Jazzy NYC
4. Indestructible (but by the guys who made the DK Rap)
5. Sagat Theme

(I tried to make a list of a possible 15 they could use, it was too difficult, so a top 5 most wanted makes the most sense)
The best Alpha theme is clearly Karin's. (But I always love when Alpha gets some love.)

This is the echo we need in Smash
*MARIO TOASTS THE COMPETITION*
I would actually love that. It'd be the ultimate joke character.

"Nice of Sakurai to invite us over to Smash Bros., eh, Luigi?"

"I hope he made lotsa Echo Fighters!"

Some joke about Sora being a lock, even though I never really was banking on him.

Okay, adding Chun-Li to the list of things I can never talk about again. :facepalm:

At least I didn't bring up feet, I never understand what people see in those.

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.
Not sure how you’re feeling besides annoyance and a little bit angry

Record a video of myself staring at the screen with no reaction whatsoever, and upload it to YouTube with some clickbait title/thumbnail and rake in the money.

Same thing I do every time a controversial pick shows up, that being to bask in the salt generated by people hoping for whoever they see as having "lost their place" or whatever
and then remember I'm supposed to be a mod here, and cry because I have to help clean up the mess

As a Juri main, I don't either.

Why do people on the internet have to ruin things I like.

I don't care that you're joking, that is NOT a subject that needs to be so much as mentioned in a thread like this. Saying crap like that is just ASKING for a off topic discussion to start.

People shouldn't expect more than one newcomer in a single trailer, much less cross-series ones. Only Lucina and Richter show up in the same trailer as another character and they're Echoes from the same series.

I'm not banking 100% on it but it's hard to ignore how much she's taken over the franchise
Yeah, I know that. She’s pretty big, and is probably what would help her in the long run if she’s an echo.

The only thing I really have against her is the fact that there are probably a lot of other more obvious echoes I think the team may have decided with before settling on her. She lacks having similar proportions to the current Villager that might cause the team to overlook her, when you see the other echoes, most of them have very similar or the same proportions with the exception of Lucina, however Lucina’s are barely noticeable.

This is also carried over to some of the other likely mentioned echoes where Ken, Felix, and Shadow have the same frame as their counterparts. So they might’ve been realized much more sooner than Isabelle, not to mention that she also has an assist trophy role that the team might be fine with.

Although I wouldn’t say lacking the same proportions is going indefinitely keep someone out from being an echo, it definitely helps as it can be caught by Sakurai a lot more sooner. All of the echoes show this.

This and the fact that I doubt that they would make her a unique newcomer since she doesn’t really do much to pull an interesting moveset from.

I was honestly not going to bring it up again afterwards, I'm sorry. :502:

I hate my autism sometimes.

There's also the silly pacifist argument that gets occasionally brought up.

How to make a reaction video:

Step 1: Scream.
Step 2: Scream some more.
Step 3: Scream a lot.
Step 4: BE SURE TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE. ALSO, PLEASE DONATE TO MY PATREON TO BECOME PART OF THE SUPA LIT FAM SQUAD. BE SURE TO COME TO MY TWITCH STREAM FOR EPIC FORTNITE WINS.
Step 5: Your thumbnail consists of nothing but emojis. Extra points if the word "prank" is in the title.

In all seriousness, though, reaction videos can be fun if the reactions are genuine and not forced. I particularly like watching the Nintendo NY store; the crowd always gets so buzzed when cool stuff happens!

And it's a silly argument because pacifism doesn't automatically mean lacking the will to fight for oneself.

And also this is a game where Mario spins Peach around Bowser style and throws her to her death offstage. I don't think character motivations are considered.

Yeah, reactions that aren't staged/are impossible to stage are the best ones. It's why I've never really understood the appeal of Etika. I've never seen any of his stuff, but fake screaming and breaking stuff isn't endearing IMO.

Yeah, I think there are more different reasons for why Isabelle might not make it in. She may keep her AT role which is pacifist, but it’s most likely due to them just keeping her that way since they just didn’t make her an echo.
