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.

Also the generic enemy argument is really bad. It would be like calling Captain Toad a generic toad.
Well, Captain Toad isn't playable so maybe he isn't the best argument if you're supporting Bandana Dee.

Oh thank god. This has inexplicably been stressing me out for a week. I can finally accept how dumb I was in complete hindsight.

I remembered what (lol) Loz said yesterday. When he said 10 AM was he referring to the actual direct airing tomorrow, or the announcement...?

Cause I’d hate if it was the latter

But for a fighter like smash? Directly connecting to your opponent and cutting out the middleman (server) is the only rational solution.
This is only true when you fail to consider a host of factors your point excluded. Using Smash 4 as an example, casual matches featured 4 players. Having one peer server as a master client for hosting four players could present unacceptable strain on one player's device as opposed to the other three. For any form of ranked match (ie For Glory) it's unacceptable to use a P2P system because you are required to arbitrarily grant authority to one of the two players. Say you decide to grant authority to a malicious client, they can cheat for days but since they're acting as the server no one has the authority to stop them or deny that they won the match. Even if you used a truly 'serverless' system where neither client took on the role of master client (an idea that's bound to lead to horrific desyncing issues) at the end of the day Nintendo's servers need to believe one of the clients on the results of the match to update ranking, and yet have no means to distinguish who is lying.

Yup, it's happening.

And it's a midnight, again.

I'm gonna blow your minds and say that it'll be announced in an hour... for later this evening, at 6PM EST

Why I am saying this:

- I have nothing to lose or gain from this, so it's mostly for fun.
- If I'm right, I'll feel vindicated in my predictions lol
- If I'm wrong, then absolutely nothing will change

Thanks for watching, be sure to like, comment, and subscribe---
Damn. It wasn't today at 6PM, but tomorrow at 6PM.
I pulled up a gif just in case I was right, but hey I guess technically the only thing I got wrong was the exact day so I'm gonna use it anyway




Where's my approximate-leaker cult

Not sure where it was but I saw someone saying Snake has a Big Boss face because of his beard, but that person must have forgotten about MGS2.

Not 100% the same, but Smash Snake is largely inspired by this design.

I have class until 8PM EST tomorrow so I can’t watch it live, but I don’t care. I just wanted to know when I’ll be able to watch it.

And now I know, and I’m satisfied.

Well I got a weird dream about the direct. Here’s what I actually remember.

-Skull Kid is still an assist
-We also get Sephiroth, Viewtiful Joe, and Black Knight as assists
-A new Rhythm Heaven game with an unconfirmed title. It’s teased but not confirmed that they will get a Smash character also

Dreams shouldn’t be hurting me like this.

Someone pick up the phone.

Pick it up.


Announced on Twitter, too.
Because I called it.

See you nerds tomorrow, I'm dipping out to avoid spoilers.

Glad to see the crisis was averted and nobody has to panic about this Direct anymore. Beyond Smash, I'm really hoping to get more details on Metroid Prime 4, and hopefully the reveal of Pikmin 4.
Loll, that had to be the funniest post I've seen so far today

I have no idea what you are talking about, but this direct and the announcement is exactly one week from when both happened previously.

And thus, order would be restored to the denizens of the Smash boards...but only for a time.
So let's get HYPED!
