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.

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.
lmao oh my god 'Happy Boobs' edition is the greatest and most terrible thing I've ever heard of. xD

I get that the game that he mentioned is very fan-service, but it sounds offensive when he states just that. I don't think it's right to care about the fan service only for that.
I think he was making a point because someone else was comparing it to being a warriors game, which aren't as boob heavy---

I don't feel like I need to explain this, all I'm saying is that there's a distinct reason people associate the game with boobs immediately.

Yeah, gonna have to agree with this. I would really prefer Smash have nothing to do with this series, as it is very, VERY creepy and weird.

Welp, today's the day! Hope people get what they want with this Direct. As for me, I go in expecting nothing; I'm just along for the ride. :p

It's a joke.

In the case of Doom Slayer, he would only need to pull out guns for his special moves since he has a plethora of melee attacks in his game.

Sincere apologies if you were offended. But I wasn't championing the fanservice-ness of the game. It's simply a well known fact that Senran Kagura really pushes certain unreasonable aspects of female anatomy. It's their whole marketing technique.



It's actually what actively turns me away from the series. It might have some cool gameplay, but I wouldn't know.

Wait a minute, that pink stuff is blood?

Does Castlevania take place in the same universe as Danganronpa or something?
It's just censoring, since Smash can't show too much bloods.

See Jedah sprites in the old games and then his model in MvC: Infinite, same stuff.

I feel like most of these big wants have to do with childhoods. I really wanted Ridley and I really wanted K. Rool. I played those games on Super Nintendo from the age of 4. If I saw K. Rool only recently? I can't say i would have cared as much. I would have liked him, because he's a kook, but it wouldn't have meant as much to me. They made my childhood pretty neat, you know? Geno I don't personally care as much as others, but that's because I played SMRPG about 5 years ago. I liked him, but there isn't nostalgia. I lobby for him because I know how the older fans feel and how nostalgia can make all the difference.

Nostalgia has been used like it's just a term, but the older you get, the greater effect it has on you. My first viewing of Lion King was when I was 4/5? and I thought it was okay. Fast forward to a year ago and all the time since my last viewing of it became painfully evident. I was laying on my mom's lap in the theater because I was tired. Now I have a child sitting in my lap having a similar experience 24 years later. I even teared up when Mufasa died because it's more relatable having a child.

Nostalgia just keeps getting weirder and more impactful as you age. Trust me.
It's not just straight Nostalgia, at least not entirely. I was born to in 84 so I've been exposed to nearly all the characters I listed at one point and time. Some it is simply more that certain characters somehow just don't connect with me in one form or another. I should be nostalgic for Geno and yet I'm not at all.

When people think a Phazon abomination like Dark Samus is a waifu, that's true.


They used to, then Estival happened.

I've never played Senran because I don't really enjoy beatemups. I'll agree it shouldn't be in smash for the fanservice, but the fact that it has fanservice doesn't make it a bad game.

Yeah, I can't bring myself to play it because it's just too... boobs.

I'm all for fanservice but that series... I am NOT in the demographic for haha.

Forget about Senran Kagura and their weird portrayal of breasts (why oh why do they point in weird directions and are sometimes placed high up on their chests to the point that they can be weirdly level with the collarbone?).

Dedede and King K. Rool have the jiggle physics in this game anyway.

So lets play a game to pass the time.

Make a change to the game guaranteed to anger most of the community.

Here's mine: Tripping is back!
Incineroar is a newcomer.

I'm joking, Incineroar fans. Really.

I’m not saying it could be a bad game, I’m just saying “Jesus Christ, how thirsty can Japan get?” That’s all.

Mario's nose better retain its jiggle physics from Odyssey.

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.
ah yes, a rich bounty of russian nintendo characters to pick from. I guess the fun choice is...

"Waaaaaaaah! The series became **** since they moved to PlayStation"

"It's always about Bebey. The new SK fans are like FE casuals"

"How dare you disagree with my politics? It will expose you for having poor taste."

PSA: Avoid ShonenOtaku like the plague since he is easily the biggest gatekeeper ever. Because how DARE one Vita game save the series? :rolleyes:

I know the whole topic of Minecraft content is very controversial. but I really would love a stage based on it. could easily be like a Mario Maker 2.0 with different layouts throughout the match

I would be totally into a stage for it.

Not so much the character, but I do, in fact, really like Minecraft so it would be cool to see.
