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.

Idk which I'm more excited for: new announcements for the games we are going to hear about or coming out, or Smash details


Decisions, decisions
In the midst of all the craziness in the Smash fanbase this past week I've almost forgotten we're getting news about other Nintendo games aswell :p.

I just want to hear about their plans for retro games, NES games are all well and fine, even if it's a very limited selection, but the service is still lacking severely behind the Virtual Console. I really hope they've got something good planned in that regard.

Good news! You can be excited about both!

That's definitely what I'm doing and it helps temper my expectations for smash, knowing that even if it's just 1 newcomer I don't care for there will still be all kinds of info in this Direct.

But, Doomguy has competition with Skyrim. That, and he might be seen as "too violent".
Doom is no more violent than Bayonetta, and has an arsenal of energy based weapons that could be used.

Elder Scrolls only has Skyrim on Switch, by comparison Doom has:
Doom on SNES and GBA
Doom II on GBA
Doom 64
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal on Switch.

Not to mention that Doom was THE PC game back in the days of DOS.

Senran Kagura is a fighting/brawler type game, similar to Hyrule Warriors
Against my better judgment, I just looked up what it was. Good grief! That is some high tier waifu bait right there!

I don't know if this has been discussed but Bethesda has spoken to Nintendo about smash bros. I wonder what they talked about? http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20..._bros_future_nintendo_exclusives_are_possible
Wait. Hold the **** up.

You mean that my pipe dream now isn't an absolute 0% chance?

Doomguy could maybe be in the cards for DLC. His icon status is probably on par with Ryu and Cloud, but strangely enough has a better history with Nintendo.
Bethesda DLC pack: Dovahkiin and Doomguy. With a stage for each. And Vault Boy as an assist trophy who acts like Bomberman but with Smart Bombs.

Then you wouldn't want to get a load of the dating sim spinoff that came out today.

Would be 100% cool with a Bethesda dlc pack.

Vergeben finally posted and I'm not sure anyone noticed it yet. But it's not a leak, just him saying that he doesn't like most journalists because they think what he said is 100% true when in actuality he didn't specify it. He never said that the characters would be 100% confirmed to be in Smash or in this Direct.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/76995959

Oh, and he finally admits that he lives in Germany, hence the timezones.
Ironic because this is the kind of misreported stuff Verg is complaining about. The only character he said he wouldn't 100% confirm for Smash is Incineroar, due to it not being corroborated by his most trustworthy sources. The others, despite the vagueness of some (a 2nd SE character) he completely stands behind.

He just doesn't appreciate how the article claims he said they'd be revealed in the Direct later, which he never did.

I pictured Aussie as the werewolf from the reveal trailer rather than Carmilla when I read "*breaks through window*".


Oh please. That furry got **** compared to the Queen of Vampires.

Look at those majestic tears of blood.

I’ll bet lol. That was Awakening and Fates’s fanservice on steroids. Or implants in this case I guess.

Why do people bring up the "too violent" argument when... the character in question can just be toned down like :ultsnake::ultbayonetta: were?

Honestly I just think it's people trying to justify why a character they don't want won't be in.

DOOMguy could easily be toned down to fit, the only problem are his guns (which aren't even a massive problem), and he has enough energy guns to make up for it.
The "brutal executions" thing was added in newDOOM too, I don't know why people think that's a requirement for the character.

The "TOO VIOLENT" reason is dumb as hell when we got the likes of Snake and Bayonetta

Let's add that rule into the official Smash newcomers rules last time we have a very funny one that involved music on a website

Still up Peach's dress.
So here’s another pointless side quest while we wait for another 14 hours for this Direct.

Let’s say you had only one character to show support for and, because of some driving, unseen force, it can only be a character that is somehow related to your username by name/theme/franchise/alphabet/etc.

For me, Venus of the Desert Bloom. Isaac is obvious pick so I’m gonna do the opposite and choose Krookadile.
...I pretty much wear my faves on my sleeve with my username with my veteran of choice and my most wanted newcomer since I joined all those years ago.

However that's a little dull and Toad is the obvious answer so I'll go with Advance Wars Andy for the middle part of my name.

You mean majestic tears of purple drank?
Because she needed the same treatment as Jedah in Marvel Infinite.

Purple is the cooler color for blood than black these days.

Seriously though, I really don't want Senran Kagera stuff in Smash. I mean, when the game's Wikipedia page says this...

...With all the red flags, I just begin wondering where the line is drawn between video games and softcore porn, and I'd really rather not have the latter in Smash.

Just going up to Doom 3...
Weapons that probably wouldn't fit:
  1. Pistol (even this is arguable as Bayonetta has a revolver)
  2. Chaingun
  3. Shotgun (both)
Weapons that would easily fit:
  1. Rocket Launcher
  2. Plasma Gun
  3. BFG
  4. Chainsaw
  5. Fists
  6. Fire Axe
  7. Unmaker
  8. Grenades
  9. Soul Cube
This is ignoring DOOM 4 which expands this list even further.

Because he used to be purple.

But now he's been staindgrey.
