Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Potato_]

Did I miss anything vital from the past 10 hours?

I don't see us talking about boxes, so that's a good sign.

I fear it'll be like this for a while, unless a very credible leak comes out, Verge comments, or Nintendo actually shows some stuff.

 

[staindgrey]

Speaking of Isabelle, how does this drawing make you feel?

It makes me want to do this.

 

[Zinith]

More questioning of Vulgar's leaks, shipping talk and furries, and @DillyBirdy is about to die.

Entirely serious about that last one.

Wait what?!!!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Incineroar and Isabelle are now dating.

There's a 4chan leak going around saying a direct next Wednesday for Smash.

But most importantly Isabelle and Incineroar are the latest celebritiy couple.

Also they're lesbians.

I thought Isabelle was Mayoral-sexual.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Who now?

Local Shantae thread poster that liked Rottytops. Guy's barely hanging by a thread as we speak.

Speaking of Isabelle, how does this drawing make you feel?

Not even mad, she can get out of this.

 

[Deleted member]

All the Belmonts should be Echoes of one another.

She isn’t better than “The Great Ishkandar!!!!!”

If we're gonna have to fight to defend our kings, so be it.

 

[Jedisupersonic]

Stop shipping Isabelle, you monsters!

Nonono you need to say it like THIS.

This is an acceptable alternative.

What exactly happened if I may ask?

 

[Nethermoosen]

Wait....just you wait your face a second...
I think....we’ve seen this...

 

[Curious Villager]

I don't see us talking about boxes, so that's a good sign.

Don't jinx it buddy.

 

[Zinith]

Spoiler

FYI I don't mind any ships of my boi if the appropriate thread wasn't clear enough

 

[BrashCandicoot]

What are your guys' personal opinions of Bill Rizer from Contra getting into Smash?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

What exactly happened if I may ask?

We're not entirely sure ourselves. It's a combination of crippling anxiety and panic attacks. It's gotten severe enough that a loved one of his is posting on his behalf at the moment.

Though I think it would be best to talk about this in the thread itself rather than here.

What are your guys' personal opinions of Bill Rizer from Contra getting into Smash?

Would be neat, but somehow I don't think he'd be able to get in there.

 

[monadoboy]

Not gonna lie if he fought somewhat like kid Goku and had the staff + nimbus he'd be one of my favorite newcomers ever.

Yoshi is saving himself for marriage.

 

[Chrono.]

Yoshi is saving himself for marriage.

With Wendy Koopa.

 

[BrashCandicoot]

Would be neat, but somehow I don't think he'd be able to get in there.

Yeah so do I, but I've been hoping for him ever since Simon got revealed because he's another retro NES character, which I think would add another unique weapon to the game.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Yeah that was low even for me, sorry.

So, another leak just appeared:

Thoughts?

This one has been reposted multiple times with minor details changed. I think I counted it twice before I caught that and just stopped counting it. It's standard fare really.

Also, I'd advise to all of you that instead of posting "leaks" as they happen, wait and bring them in sets like I did. It gives the "leakers" less exposure, which is exactly what they want. Also, if you want to use the words, make sure to put quotes around it. It's okay to entertain them being true, but don't give them the entire benefit of the doubt.

Why would we have TWO directs in the same month? Idk, has that ever been done?

No Incineroar or Ken, so I'm tempted to call fake, but at the same time...wasn't there a Smash Direct leak around the 24-26th that said Heihachi and Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia?

DaybreakHorizon got a link to said leak?

They've done Nindies Directs shortly before regular/Smash ones, so there's some precedent.

Here's a link to the "leak" in question.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Just remember to take this thotful advice.

To get back on topic though, try to think of one additional difference you would give each echo fighter. You can only give one.

: Down B is now Dark Pit Staff
: Side B is Aether which functions like Ike's Side B
: No Toad Neutral B, she now errr.. has a sort of flower as her shield?
: I got nothing
: Overall less running speed than Roy, but a little more strenght
: Phazon effects on her projectile moves, meaning people hit by it can get additional damage over time for a little bit. This on the cost of some overall KO power.

 

[Q-Long]

What are your guys' personal opinions of Bill Rizer from Contra getting into Smash?

I would love an assist trophy and a Contra cameo song on either a Metroid stage or Shadow Moses.

A lot of iconic 3rd party stuff in Smash Ultimate. Its sad stuff like Contra and Double Dragon died, cause I think they deserve something in Smash

 

[drag0nscythe]

Don't jinx it buddy.

So about that box. It is missing goemon on it. Maybe one of the 5 stages is for him

 

[UberMadman]

Ok but who’s the knight with the laser finger and the guy with the blue energy ball

EDIT: Just realized energy man is Goku but idk who the Knight man is

The “guy with the blue energy ball” is actually Chun-Li preparing a Kikouken. The “knight with the laser finger” is Geno.

 

[Chrono.]

: Down B is now Dark Pit Staff.

RIP Dark Pit.

Quick question re: Heihachi and Lloyd leak: what’s a “PGP key”?

 

[Pyra]

Why would we have TWO directs in the same month? Idk, has that ever been done?

Even if it hasn't is there something explicitly keeping them from doing that?

 

[IGuessItsOver]

It makes me want to do this.

OOF, that's cute.

So kind of like ProtonMail, and two characters line up with the PM leak too...we’ll see what happens come the 24th

Isn’t TGS around that time?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

The “guy with the blue energy ball” is actually Chun-Li preparing a Kikouken. The “knight with the laser finger” is Geno.

Idk. Chun-Li’s bracelet has spikes, and the guy in the picture and Goku’s are just blue.

Yes. It's the day after the Tokyo Game Show.

 

[Q-Long]

Let's say they allow one Square song that ISN'T from Final Fantasy into Midgar.

What do you choose? My choice:

 

[MainJPW]

The “guy with the blue energy ball” is actually Chun-Li preparing a Kikouken. The “knight with the laser finger” is Geno.

She charges the Kikoken with two hands and she wears spiked bracelets, don’t recall a costume where she wears blue wristbands.

 

[Luigi The President]

I've seen no real talk of Nintendo attending TGS.

Do we expect anything to come of it?

 

[staindgrey]

Idk. Chun-Li’s bracelet has spikes, and the guy in the picture and Goku’s are just blue.

It's pretty obviously supposed to be Goku, though he's using a move that's typically Vegeta's.

I've seen no real talk of Nintendo attending TGS.

Do we expect anything to come of it?

They said they were strictly there for business purposes, not promotional purposes. They're still not going to be "at TGS" in the way they've always been.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Yes. It's the day after the Tokyo Game Show.

It stands to chance that Lloyd and Heihachi could be shown behind closed doors at TGS and then revealed to the public afterwards. We'll see what comes out of TGS and whether this is true or not soon.

Nothing will likely come out of it, but we can certainly hope.

No it's defintely Goku.

Compare arms here.
