Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[MainJPW]

It makes me want to do this.

The new girls. How precious.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

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

What do you choose? My choice:

Either Dragon God or Blood on the Keys

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?

The day after TGS ends as a matter of fact.

Good thing about this leak is that it's got a deadline that's relatively soon.

 

[Pyra]

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

Do we expect anything to come of it?

iirc they're there for business matters only. Doesn't really stop them from dropping a "by the way there's a direct tomorrow" announcement during it or something

 

[Jedisupersonic]

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

Nah that's not a Big Bang attack, that's just a blue energy ball

He does this when he threatens Supreme Kai in the Buu arc.

Keep up the future Gohan propaganda buddy. Does not get enough respect.

In regards to TGS, I could totally see the anouncement of the next direct there. I think this leak banks off of that fact to make themselves more legtitimate.

Of course it could be legit though.

 

[Chrono.]

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.

- I guess replace Neutral B with DP Staff
- Gets a multi hit jab, similar to Young Link, can be cancelled into Dancing Blade
- idk
- Hydro Storm as a Final Smash or Pocket Watch replaces Holy Water (works like Witch Time)
- Dancing Blade replaced with Quick Draw, comes out quicker and goes a longer distance than Ike's but not as powerful
- idk give it phazon somewhere

Unless if they show something behind closed doors, or planning a seperate event, probably no.

Haha thanks, Future Gohan is probably my favorite version of him, although I do like the other adult Gohan because he's a huge dork too.

My favorites in DB tend to be the humans so I have mixed feelings on stuff after OG DB, even if I do enjoy a lot of it haha.

What do you choose?

I'm a sucker for this kind of tracks in Smash, like Calling to the Night and Midna's Lament

I wish. And hope Mashed Potatoes Samurott listened to your prayers.

I want Sora to visit Nintendo worlds first

 

[Hinata]

- Hydro Storm as a Final Smash or Pocket Watch replaces Holy Water (works like Witch Time)

I don't think a character with the range of Richter Belmont needs anything close to Witch Time in his kit.

 

[Jedisupersonic]

I'd give his staff as his neutral B

would be given a javelin as her neutral B

Her Mario Strikers special shot

Roundhouse Kick instead of Axe

A bow and to differ it from Pit and Links, it'd be more for power, think Link's power shot custom from Smash 4.

Some Phazon shockwaves with smash attacks.

What if we got Riku?

 

[Nethermoosen]

I feel for all of you who also know they can’t get their most wanted in.

Would this not have been the best Ganon?

I’m in the same boat. The human fighters and side characters are my favorite so I obviously don’t enjoy seeing them phased out in Z.

Dark Souls sure has come a long way hasn't it.

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

This wouldn't fit Midgar but

But I don't remember Goku ever putting all of his fingers together like he does in the image in question. Granted, DB/Z/GT/Super has a lot of reference material, so I could have just missed a time that he did it, but the fingers-together ki blast is pretty distinctly Vegeta and some other baddies. Goku keeps his fingers open.

Not arguing the arm in the picture belongs to Vegeta. Just a visual inconsistency.

 

[Misery Brick]

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

- Dark Pit Staff is now his neutral B, it has a narrow hitbox, but you can charge it to increase it's width and power.
- Brave Lance as her Side-B, it works like Fox Illusion, however if you hit B again it'll stop her movement and slash out with a second stronger attack. This is in reference to how the Brave Lance works in Fire Emblem.
- Her neutral B could be changed to something to reference the sports games, such as putting a golf ball at an opponent, you could probably angle it at opponents or different directions.
- Make his FS Hydro Storm. Not sure what else I'd give him tbh.
- Make his Side-B as a Javelin. It'd give him a projectile and allow him to differentiate himself more from Roy.
- Like others said, give her a "Phazon effect" which makes her specials damage characters over time, until she gets hit or it wears off. If not, instead of the bombs give her the tendrils that shoot out of the ground as her Down-B, to use as a "get off me" tool.

Yeah it's a bit odd, probably the artist didn't spend too long worrying about it either.

 

[GunBlaze]

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

 - Brawl Up Special
- Take out Dancing Blade, and implement it as normals for her.
- Loses float, gains triple jump
- Hydro Storm
- Give him Melee Flare Blade hitboxes (the blade is what hits, not the explosion)
- Phazon, which works like Poison, alá White Pikmin.

 

[Will]

He's got Aether and no base tipper, that's pretty different already.

 

[ChocolatGelgato]

I'm gonna be honest, never played tekken, but i've really warmed up to the concept of heihachi being a character in smash and i'm kinda rooting for him now, before I was afriad the roster would be samey, but with krool, simon and isabelle, this has definitely made me appreciate someone like heihachi being in smash more.

If anything Smash and by extension the speculation season has been pretty good free marketing for these guys, they made me more interested in actually playing a castlevania or tekken game for once lmao.

 

[P.Kat]

I think it's all dependant on how much said person believes in the Gods and Ryu is a spiritual type. I don't know the cut-off for how much you gotta believe for her to show up as a God tho.

Yep, either that or she's completely out of ink, and she reverted to the form of a normal wolf.

Saber for smash is a meme in the japanese community, like Sans is here.

Really? Cause meme or not I'd would love to have her in Smash. Wielding an invisible sword, and blasting foes with wind and light magic? Yes please.

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

Oh shoot, I don't like them odds, things don't look good...

for the chumps attacking Isabelle (except for Isaac and Shantae, they're not chumps).

They would of had a slight (1%) chance of winning, if Goku didn't use a KI blast move, all Isabelle has to do is pocket the KI blast,

And she pockets the win.

 

[Misery Brick]

Outside of one special, Chrom is very similar to three characters already on the roster.
Sue me, I just want to see more unique and diverse character movesets on the roster.

 

[staindgrey]

That...

...is an incredibly good idea.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

On an unrelated note, seems like one will be able to purchase the online subscription with My Nintendo golden coins, it means that if you're buying around 7 games a year, you'll have enough coins to get it without spending more. https://www.polygon.com/2018/9/17/17870186/nintendo-switch-online-price-my-nintendo-gold-coins

I'll probably be doing this, since i'll never surrender into paying for online with money, i'd rather keep buying my games like i usually do and accumulate small "refunds" to use towards the service.

Okay but why does Waluigi have a knife tho?

Haven't Played TWEWY, but the Switch port's advertising has introduced me to this song...

Looks more like some kinda gardening tool to me tbh

this is probably one of absolute favorite songs in any game ive played

Everyone was expecting Yoshi's ****ing Island but instead we get Waluigi's ****ing Garden.

 

[Meritocracy]

Yeah that was low even for me, sorry.

So, another leak just appeared:

Thoughts?

Prolly fake, but I would be super excited if it was right.
For obvious reasons

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Everyone was expecting Yoshi's ****ing Island but instead we get Waluigi's ****ing Garden.

At least we now know where he gets the herbs for his ****ing Taco Stand.

ok jeez I’ll stop

 

[Jedisupersonic]

Yeah ngl, Chrom not having to worry about the hilt makes his use of Roy's moveset almost entirely change how it's utlized.

His Aether is even unique, because he doesn't throw the sword, unfortunately this means he can't shark like Ike can, I can only wonder if Chrom's aether will be possible to chain from a throw, because Roy's throws in Smash 4 were very short distance so he could get a followup.

Oh, so she can absorb his energy?

Neat.

I will shill Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64 any chance I get. Granted this is from the Enix side.
