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.

I just want to jump in and say that everyone (myself included) is so character focused. We don't want to think they only have 2 character's left because that would be dissapointing or whatever, especially considering the momentum that's already built up. But that's only because we are basing our excitement around what CHARACTERS will make it into the game.

What if Sakurai's big final reveal is the "Spirits" mode and it completely blows away all expectations and is the big finale of excitement that people are expecting to get from characters? (Not to mention potential online features)
Tbh, characters ARE the biggest selling point of any fighting or crossover game, and Sakurai knows that, this whole game is about bringing back every single character that was in a Smash game before and then more.
Between "Everyone is here!" and "We believe this is what the fans want." it's clear what the direction for this game was.

I just really like Virion lol. I was this close to adding Silque for the same reason.

I've always been of the opinion that if Merric were in any series other than Fire Emblem he'd be seen as a shoo-in. Best friend of the main character, has his own signature weapon that would bring a unique anti-air magical play style, is relatively plot important, was the first playable Mage, and was visually distinct from the rest of the cast.

The only issue is that he'd go against how his series picks characters, which seals his doom. :p
If I could choose any FE character regardless of importance, I would probably go with Haar or Greil. Also yeah Merric is pretty important, but he's not from Awakening nor is he a leading lord. So he sadly has no chance. If I could choose any magic user though, I would go with Lyon.

Silque is cool too, he was one of my favorites in FE14

Don't get me wrong, I want to try out BotW Link myself but my argument is that Link's changes make Young/Toon Link more distinct.
I agree. Would have been great to tweek Young Link's moveset too, make him more distinct from Toon Link. A Majora's Mask inspired moveset would have been crazy. A bit of a missed opportunity imo but i won't complain i mean, at least he's back :)

Speaking of Tabuu, which characters could canonically beat him?
I'm thinking of Ness and Kirby but i don't know about the others

I see rosters. I captain buzzkill am here to say thst i think the final roster is what we have, followed by ken and incineroar.

Dlc will be
Waddle dee
Geno
DIxie kong
Shadow
Goemon
Llyod
I feel like Tails has a good shot at coming in as DLC if Shadow isn't in the base game. Putting them in together would probably maximize the profit from Sonic fans.

Especially if Dixie in your DLC list is a semi-clone like Isabelle. You could add Dixie's recovery on to Sonic's moveset and you would already have a good basis for Tails already. Would obviously need a little more then that but the basis would be there.

Alright then, humoring this, what is a game that released in time to be nominated that can also feasibly have a character appear in smash?
xenoblade, FF character, Tomb Raider, DQ or Chrono trigger are the only ones that would excite an audience like the vgas.

The Western side of Pop Star.
So I decided to say "**** it" and make a 100 character dream roster with no cuts, purely based on which characters I'd like the most with no regards to likelihood.


Never ask me for anything ever again.
>Chandelure
>Blathers over more noteworthy AC characters
>Papyrus over Sans

You were so close, why would you do that. Although Papy is goofy fun.

Genies are so young these days. I figured they were all “dawn of time” kinda people.
Just ignore it, it's Luigi making fun of IGuessItsOver. Yet again.

Man
I can’t wait to see Tabuu Kirby
Only issue is Tabuu literally has no personality at all, even Dark Nebula has more character than him.

Sonic in Super Sonic look what he fought, Chaos, Dark Gaia, Solaris and Time Eater and let's not forget that the chaos emerald can use Chaos Control, so Sonic could wrap Tabuu RIGHT INTO the CORE of a Sun or any other Stars.

He met that the DLC will featured a character from a nominated game. Most likely a Japanese title. Some big JP titles this year are :

Monster Hunter World
Street Fighter V Arcade Edition
Kirby Battle Royale
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT
Kirby Star Allies
Detective Pikachu
Yakuza 6 (yo... Sakurai if you do this...)
Hyrule Warriors : Definitive Edition
Pokemon Quest
Shaq Fu :b
Octopath Traveler
WarioWare Gold

Also Dragalia Lost, Megaman 11, and Soul Calibur 6 are coming out
Seriously though, If we get a grumpy Pikachu Voiced By Ryan Reynolds In Smash to coincide with one of the most intriguing movies of next year, I will be instantly happy.

Shulk could probably, since his vision can help prevent fatal blows from Tabuu's wings. Plus, he's taken down a god before.

Because Chandelure is the best and the museum was the only part of New Leaf I enjoyed before I realized I didn't like life sims. :p

Yeah, i would get so hyped if he were the last character announced for the game, just imagine playing as a god-like entity with energy chains as weapons.
People probably would get salty if they get hit by his Off Waves as a FS, I imagine. This would be okay, though.

Rosalina. She did after all recreate the universe at the end of Super Mario Galaxy. She's easily up there with Kirby (Who is stated to have infinite potential or whatever) and Shulk as among Nintendo's most powerful characters.

Heck, Sonic destroyed Tabuu's insta-trophy butterfly wings in his base form. So yea, heh.

I would be totally okay with playable Taboo but I really think Master Hand should be the first playable Smash OC

Not going to lie, I'd be pretty sad if Tabuu doesn't make a return as a Spirits mode boss. Would love to see Duon and Galleom, too, but at least bring Tabuu back.

There's a lot of other bossed for Spirits I'd love to see, too.

You're a waste of a Fire Emblem slot, so there.

Unpopular opinion threads only serve to allow people to be unpleasant contrarians without getting called out for it.

It's more "loving banter" :^)

What if Tabuu is the surprise secret character and last to unlock. It wouldn't surprise me honestly.
Smash rep needs a Smash rep I suppose
