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.

Is it just me or does Isabelle have a lot of moves that seem like they'd be good against Ridley?

Anyway, I just remembered that a bunch of former Sega staff are working at Nintendo, don't know how that affects Shadow/Tails.

Hire ups on the Sega staff, or a bunch of programmers to bolster the Smash dev team? Big difference between the 2.

Weird question, but with Breath of the Wild clothing, is Sheik supposed to be a "BotW era Sheik" or the same "unused TP Sheik"?

Were you following loz at all? Dude was a prominent leaker following E3 where he got multiple aspects about the game's reveal. He went off the deep end, deleted his GameFAQs and began borderline ****posting. Finally, he put all of his leaker chips into Skull Kid being revealed, and when he wasn't he deleted his Twitter and left the Discord chat he's been in.

Pretty much, dude pretended to be a serious leaker, and ran when he was exposed.
To be clear I'm not just trying to defend him, I just didn't feel like I had the complete story.

Which even if that's the case. Kiiiiiinda goes straight down the toilet considering the ending retcons the whole game aside from maybe a brief glance Sonic and Elise have at the final cutscene.
Yup. Sonic 06: Sabotaging it’s own good qualities since well... 2006. :p Still, I guess it does still show how genuinely tight they would turn out to be if push came to shove and their bonds were tested.

So, to now ask the question that's on everyone's minds: which new character is going to be the coveted #69?:wario: That poor fanbase is going to get rekt'd by memes when it's revealed.
Tbh it should have been Isabelle, but bandana Dee would be good too

Elma. Or Black Shadow if he’s somehow unique.

Just please not my pure round son Waddle Dee he is too pure for the 69 ;-;

She's pretty much just BotW themed, I believe. I don't think that armor set existed before BotW, but I could be wrong.

It's BOTW-based.
So does that mean we technically got BOTW Zelda in that regard?
Because that's kinda funny now looking back at E3.

I swear if it's going to be the Chorus Kids or any Rhythm Heaven character, I'm just never going to look them up again, no matter how much I wanted them in.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's like Elma or maybe Ken if he's considered a unique character.

I'm surprised I haven't seen jokes about Ivysaur being Fighter #34, what with his vines and all.

Bandana dee carries a lethal spear everywhere with him, he’s not pure, he’s a cold blooded killer, like villager

Honestly the design they went with for Zelda in Smash Ultimate is easily my favorite Zelda design. Full stop. It suits the character so, so well.

So i finally looked at Vergeben's leaked info that apparently has been available since August.

Am I or was I the only one ignoring all leaks so far?

THIS. As much as I love Twilight Princess, the Zelda from that game is easily my least favorite and IMO the worst Zelda in the series. She was just so emotionless and stiff...

I just realized that the Pichu is future Pikachu theory can be laid to rest, sorta. Why I'm late to this is a mystery.

A small, timid puppy is capable of defeating a horrific, hypersadistic dragon-pterodactyl thing from the depths of space. Only in Super Smash Bros..

I think the common consensus is that he does have insider information but sprinkles in bits of falsities to make it seem like he's predicting stuff.

I'd definitely keep an eye on him and his claims in the future.
Yeah I think the Mimique guy is more of the same as well.

It would've helped if she was in more than like 3 scenes.

I thought she fit the overall tone of TP quite well, but I don’t think she should be the Zelda representing in smash

This is before Loz18 leaked the message that had Verge mentioning Incineroar specifically.



Verge was referring to Incineroar being a questionable choice since people were expecting Decidueye, Mimikyu, or Lycanroc.
Thanks for providing a link that provides context to Vergeben's language.

Can we talk about how freaking on point the character art has been for this game? Seriously, I think this is best character art Smash has seen in awhile.

Don't know how high up they were but I don't see any indication that they're working on Smash, they joined long before Smash Ultimate and went to work on BOTW, Mario Kart, Xenoblade... only one person (Makoto Yonezu) seems to have been involved in Smash.

To get to the point, I will quote the post.

"From GE's Direct video, he:
Called Kirby's Epic Yarn 3DS, a then unknown title.

Mentioned ALL the PS1 FFs EXCEPT 8, coming to the Switch, which is happening.

Gave the idea of Isabelle being a unique when the others thought she'd be a clone.

And in the past, he said Daisy at E3 'as a joke', and called various other games like Captain Toad on the 3DS.

There's 'getting lucky', and then there's "I have an inside source".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIFo23ANX4 Even the other GE guys are shocked at how accurate his 'predictions' were."

Do you guys think this at least a little concerning?
Yup, that's my reddit post alright.

I honestly think Mimique is just very, very lucky. With such an amazing track record, why wouldn't he claim to know what's up if he did? Unlike Jon, he'd have nothing to lose in doing so.
