Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Chrono.]

Yeah let me just shoot that down before it gets the slightest bit of traction.

https://gamebanana.com/maps/192933

Here's the stage used.

Already been found chief.

 

[link2702]

And here's all of the ending screens:

They're a handful. Some of them look cool (Link, Pikachu, Samus), and some look stupid (DK, Yoshi). I still don't get Yoshi's, or why it looks like he just died.

Surprised no one mentioned it yet....

Yoshi’s is a loose reference to yoshi story on n64.

The whole game was setup as a popout picture book to tell the story of the baby yoshi’s.

Idk why they specifically decided to go with that type of image but w/e, regardless that’s what it’s referencing.

 

[RandomAce]

Yeah no. As a creative writing major, he is a horribly written character from one of the absolute worst scripts I've ever had the displeasure of hearing/reading. I will say that the game itself does get overhated a bit, because it's a perfectly acceptable beat em up and I would argue the game has better level design than any of the first 4 DmC games, but EVERYTHING about the story and its attrocious characters makes my skin crawl.

Yeah, one thing I noticed is how they wanted a new design and character with different motives while adding traits from the original Dante that contradict what they were going for.

It makes DmC Dante incohesive.

Everyone, here's two very extensive Google forms polls trying to gather data on who Smash fans really want in Smash:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jwDp9NC6YCzhPkBojK9jgr6QTetqtoRFeA8PgQ5t418
^ this one is for already existing playable characters

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ZPMtKfCsaYKB_NoS_NsX5RyVolJVDNcWh2hYAJnzvE4

So on the newcomer list now im not saying he should be but since all the other characters rumored to be coming are you forgot Ken

 

[PlasmaDam]

I dont want Minecraft in smash cause if Minecraft is playable in smash that mean Fortnite has a chance

 

[Radical Bones]

I've decided to spend less time speculating Smash amd more time rewatching One Piece starting from the time skip. I don't wanna burn myself out and already feel over Smash before it's even out.

you should probably make it where people can only cast one vote. I noticed people can vote again and that will definitely skew results

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Yeah, no. As a creative writing major, he is a horribly written character from one of the absolute worst scripts I've ever had the displeasure of hearing/reading. I will say that the game itself does get overhated a bit, because it's a perfectly acceptable beat em up and I would argue the game has better level design than any of the first 4 DmC games, but EVERYTHING about the story and its attrocious characters makes my skin crawl.

All that isn't really my point. The hate for Donte is still exaggerated. It doesn't matter how bad the characterization actually is, and I agree he is definitely bad, but there's a big ol' echo chamber that hates Donte for the sake of hating him. I have just as many dis concerns with him myself being a writing major as well, but that doesn't take away from the fact that people just hate him for the sake of hating him. Most people haven't even experienced what you are talking about. He's just seen as the plague because that's what DMC fans think of him. His design isn't even all that bad, lazy maybe, but there are far worse designs that I have seen recently. Pyra, I see you.

Listen, I'm probably not going to click every single character I want in Smash when there are like 70+ options. It'd be far easier to ask what is "cuttable" then to ask what isn't.

???? how?

 

[Iridium]

I've decided to spend less time speculating Smash amd more time rewatching One Piece starting from the time skip. I don't wanna burn myself out and already feel over Smash before it's even out.

I can't stop thinking about Smash. I'm imagining the Pro Controller, the official guide, the steelbook case, and the box...

I have to find something to keep me occupied, you know? Something to make me forget how many days are left until the release date, until there's very little.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

I want this to be real.

 

[Chumpodile]

Much more convincing than the last agumon picture posted here.

Whats the source?

 

[Potato_]

You didn't even set your mains? Cmon dude, EVERY "leaker" who posts on Smashboards sets their mains, no exceptions.

Model doesn't look too bad, but ofc there's still the question of why you bothered to cut the image.

Source?

 

[BrytonJ]

Wait are you the guy who kept posting fake Agumon leaks over and over again in here on an alt account?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

That looks hideous. There's no way this can be real.

Like, at least the Ken leak was in line with the art style for the game. This model looks like it was ripped from a PS3 game at best.

 

[Iridium]

The actual quality of this image hurts my eyes in ways it shouldn't. Still don't buy it anyway.

 

[TheCJBrine]

why you gotta hurt the Agumon supporters with yet another blurry image that doesn't show much detail gosh

 

[TyrantLizardKing]

I dont want Minecraft in smash cause if Minecraft is playable in smash that mean Fortnite has a chance

How? Minecraft and Fortnite have no relation. Just because they’re both popular doesn’t suddenly mean they’ll be a part of Smash.

 

[Idon]

All that isn't really my point. The hate for Donte is still exaggerated. It doesn't matter how bad the characterization actually is, and I agree he is definitely bad, but there's a big ol' echo chamber that hates Donte for the sake of hating him.

His design isn't even all that bad, lazy maybe, but there are far worse designs that I have seen recently. Pyra, I see you.

The problem with that statement is that you can't exactly discuss that because it places the blame on the nebulous and vague "community" rather then actual things that are plainly identifiable. We can't exactly go up to every person that dislikes Donte and say "Do you actually dislike him from a character standpoint or because that's the popular thing to do?" Like what's stopping me from saying that for every disliked thing? How much hate is real or manufactured? How much hate is "too much" hate?

"X has issues, but there's clearly people that hate it for the sake of hating it" is so broad and can apply to practically everything. Brawl, Other M, Sticker Star, whatever- everything has a subset of people that dislike it because other people they identify with dislike it. That's simply human nature. And it's not worth talking about that subset, more than the actual subject matter.

Decidueye and Incineroar both on the list, and no Primarina? Tsk, 2018 and people still picking on the Popplio line

Also apparently Ken is already confirmed? lol

OH!
I should have been more clear, I didn't actually create this poll, I just promised I would help spread it.
Someone mentioned what you just did though about the multiple votes to the producer of it, they are going to make sure now that you need a google account to do it so people can only vote once.

I like how the first one has Ken even though he's technically not confirmed

I found that funny too myself

Kay. That's understandable~

 

[T3Z3R1]

>joined 8 minutes ago, and then posted this image as your first post.

Does that seems suspicious to me? If this is trolling at all, and then great job on making it believable.

 

[FirestormNeos]

Lack of Primarina is the reason I would rather not have the other two in.

Give me all three or give me none of them. Anything else is just lopsided and annoying and I'm sick of it.

Here are some things you can try to take a break from Smash speculation:

• Start reading the Wheel of Time - there's 14 books to get through!
• Start a new manga or anime.
• Play a new game that's known to be a time sink (I've put over 300 hours into Enter the Gungeon)
• Pick up a new TV show with an active fandom.
• Try writing your own novel.
• Listen to podcasts - I know some good ones if you're keen.
• Take up an art - photography or drawing are great places to start.

I'll consider the podcasts, but I can definitely try the novel and art. At least I've tried art before, to some decent results. Now that I think about it, what podcasts do you have in mind?

The way I've been handling the hype is that every time I think too much about smash bros I watch an episode of the Sopranos.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Please don't go around accusing people of trolling or being alt accounts. If the case exists, the moderation will take care of it. Just respond only to their posts(and the actual content posted) or don't respond it general otherwise.

Keep in mind if it's an alt account, we have to clean up other messes. Accusations also can be considered attacking another user, and that's not good either. Think of how it feels to see people accused of things and how they may feel if they're seriously another person. Doesn't feel good, right? That's why we don't want people doing this kind of thing here. Just report or reply in good faith and we'll handle it.

Good advice, I might reread my favorite books to keep me from thinking about Ultimate. I think about it many time, other then fanfic ideas in my mind.

 

[Chandeelure]

I don't know much about Devil May Cry, but I personally think "Donte" looks much cooler than the original.

 

[Iridium]

The way I've been handling the hype is that every time I think too much about smash bros I watch an episode of the Sopranos.

I guess all I really do is listen to my favorite music, but when I feel limited, it stops working for that time. Anything to keep me from going crazy is good, honestly.

 

[Darkraid]

I hope we get another direct soon.

I'm bored

 

[The Slayer]

Did this site ever had a post limit before a new game came out? Because all I see is nothing but third-rate leaks with poor photoshop edits.

I'm not exactly the person to talk about curbing obsessions (), but I just start binge watching RedLetterMedia to occupy my time...

 

[Shadowwolflink]

If I had my way, the Gen 7 Pokemon rep would either be Mimikyu, Lycanroc Dusk Form, Salazzle, or Alolan Pokemon Trainer with Rowlet, Torracat, and Primarina.

 

[Onua]

Do you guys think the ken leak is real?
So few ppl talk about it anymore after the initial 2 days

 

[Glaciacott]

On the topic of Fortnite and Minecraft, it's valid to remind people that's there's a difference between highly impactful games and fads.

Minecraft has been highly successful for almost ten years now, has been used in education, and as a franchise is so seeped into popular culture that it's hard to deny its impact even today.

Fortnite is nowhere close to that. Heck, a year or so ago everyone thought PUBG was the greatest new thing and then that died to Fortnite shortly after. Now, Fortnite HAS had massive impact since then and it's everywhere to a ludicrous amount, but it will be years before we can really call it a successful, impactful game in the industry.

When you think about it in those terms, Minecraft is one of the biggest franchises in gaming that's realizable in smash and not quite there yet. As in, it has high presence in a Nintendo system, collaboration with Nintendo is evident, and Sakurai has expressed knowledge of it. Fortnite is still just the cool new thing, it needs time to establish itself more before we can really think of it or "fear" it in Smash.
