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.

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.
Well, yeah, naturally. It helps to have actually really liked those things during your childhood.

I’ll tell you right now I don’t miss land line phones and dial-up internet in the least.

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.
I just want more new stages in general. Minecraft would be fine, even though I've never played it.

The fact that they're bringing back seemingly almost all of the old stages is cool, but I want new ones. (And also Melee's FD. Not really a fan of Smash 4's or 5's FD.)

I actually really miss the simplicity of landline phones.

I'd go back to the 90s in a heartbeat before we all had supercomputers in our pockets and were in constant contact with everyone at all times. Simply not being available to take a phone call apparently isn't a thing anymore, and nobody wants to communicate in anything but emojis and poorly spelled tweets.

(I'll just take my old man cane and leave...)

A question for you nerds: There are mere hours until the direct and we have a thunderstorm-no lights combo.

Which newcomer universe tries to warn me about?

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
As someone who used to play the game quite a bit, I think a stage based on Minecraft would be ideal. The game isn't known for its characters, but rather the world you interact with. A Creeper assist trophy wouldn't be bad either, but I really wouldn't want Steve as a playable character. I just don't think he be very interesting, personally.

So does anyone else think that K. Rool will definitely return to Donkey Kong games? At this point, it would seem like the—
Nintendo has seen the error of their ways.



They have observed the overwhelming fan demand for the character and will no doubt include him in future games as a result.

Resistance is futile. I hope.

I think he would be interesting (and really work as a Link echo), but that doesn’t mean I want him. A stage would do. (This is coming from someone who spent 3.5 years of their life playing Minecraft in their free time)

Well, that was an...interesting turn for the thread.

*Ahem* Moving on, how would people feel if a demo was announced to coincide with the Online Service launching? I know this topic was brought up a bit yesterday, but I didn't see it discussed all that much.

That cursed me alright, reminding me that the Lords of Shadow games exist.

Good thing there will be zero acknowledgement of that in Smash.
> Implying Sakurai doesn't reference bad games in Smash
> We clearly get Castlevania Judgement music with Simon
> There are songs based on Federation Farce and Yoshi's Crap New Island in Ultimate.
> Color Trash songs are inevitable

I'm gonna laugh when there is, in the form of a trophy or a music track of some kind. The devs reference even some of the most lackluster/panned games in a given franchise sometimes (e.g. Other M).

Looks like AwesomeAussie27 AwesomeAussie27 beat me to it. Judgment wasn't exactly a gem, lol

If it's going to make people complain less about the online services, I'm all for it.

But, Doomguy has competition with Skyrim. That, and he might be seen as "too violent".
:ultbayonetta::ultsnake:

Skyrim is also one game (a great game, but still one game), whereas Doom has been going strong for decades. There isn't really a way to compare the two.

People are just gonna complain about it being behind a pay gate.

Not me though, I'm splitting online with a bunch of other people so it's a non-issue
Even if I wasn't it'd be a non-issue.

Lords of Shadow acknowledgement already exists, the whip design Simon and Richter use, is the combat cross (the cross shaped hilt).

Topic: Pretend that Sakurai wants to focus on adding iconic Western third-parties in Smash Ultimate DLC. He can only choose 10 of them. Who do you include?
