Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[T3Z3R1]

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

Dude, have you even play DmC? That's where Donte comes from, and it's different than DMC. He's a different person than dante is in DMC.

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

Yes, we believe that it was likely legit due to ****loads of evidence that can point out how it was legit.

I think the general consensus is that it's real.
If it wasn't, it'd be a leak that's on the level of Artsy Omni fabrication.

If y'all need a game to play to get your mind off Smash, look no further than The Messenger on Switch.

Really good old school Ninja Gaiden throwback, with an intriguing story and some surprisingly witty dialogue.

I've been playing it for the last couple of days and I can't get enough.

I would say most of us just accepted that the leak is either real, or just really convincing, so there's not much else to discuss when it comes to that.

Knowing that, how hype would you all feel if we got a Ken Masters + Terry Bogard double reveal at once? I would take it...

Looks just like Ninja Gaiden. That's a plus. I guess I could try and get obsessed with this then.

Is this a retro title, or no?

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.

I mean personally I've been playing through all of DMC to prepare for 5, doing work for uni and keeping up with the shows I'm interested in (Bojack Horseman, MHA, Stein's Gate Zero). I've also got to get around to beating Persona 5.

With that stuff combined I've kept my Smash wait pretty bearable. When it comes it comes yknow?

Oh also if you have a PS4, just play Spiderman or God Of War. Both of them are great at pulling you into their setting/story.

 

[FooltheFlames]

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.

Oh cool. A fellow nakama
I too am part of the Straw Hat Alliance~

 

[barleyy]

Is this legit, guys?

 

[Knight Dude]

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

I'mma have to disagree with you on that one dude.

OG Dante always had clean designs. DmC Dante's literally grimy.

Music somehow has helped me the most honestly. Albums like this get me:

Aside from that, I've been trying poetry and playing Smash 3DS to hone my skills, and I would say it helps a bit. Which reminds me, I lost the one opportunity to buy Xenoblade Chronicles just to get Smash, and I have a bit of regrets...

 

[Flyboy]

Is this legit, guys?

I'm not seeing any major issues with it; I think this one's real, folks.

 

[CosmicQuark]

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

While I disagree with the notion that Minecraft being in Smash would be a slippery slope into adding Fortnite, the main argument for including Minecraft is it's popularity/relevance. I'd be more open to Minecraft having a character if that wasn't the primary reason for adding them into Smash. And so when people use Minecraft's popularity as the primary or sole reason for including it into Smash, the question of "Why not Fortnite?" makes some sense. Though, Minecraft has a more iconic place in gaming, to me that's roughly equivalent to saying it's popular, other games like Fornite may just be a matter of time. While popularity/iconic status is a good feature of adding a series into Smash, being the complete package (e.g., moves, popularity/relevancy, history with Nintendo, etc) is better.

 

[Noipoi]

Is this legit, guys?

It absolutely is.

 

[Zinith]

Is this legit, guys?

Fake!!!

No Otis from Barnyard...

OK? And how is that relevant to what I said?
I'm comparing the design of the original Dante to the design of the reboot Dante.

I didn't say anything about how they are the same person or whatever lol.

I'mma have to disagree with you on that one dude.

It's OK, mate.
It's just my opinion.

 

[Knight Dude]

Yeah, most people lean on it being real, or at the very least, a fake leak as good as the Palutena one from the Smash 3ds days. We don't talk about it much as people sort of gave up trying to debunk it, especially for a character people are really confident is being added anyway.

Is this legit, guys?

Where's Protoman and Sora though?

Fair enough.

 

[jokermelee]

so i see people discussing Dante from DMC, i'm guessing people here have already seen the DMCV leakers thread on 4chan then?

 

[P.Kat]

Thought experiment, What change would be made to a character to utterly ruin them for you even if they get into smash (IE Donte costume).

If Ammy only had her reflector, without her other weapons at least being a tilt or Special attack, little to no ink mechanic, and Ammy not having her signature flower trail

 

[Dee Dude]

Is this legit, guys?

Yep, it’s real. It’s ESRB leak all over again.

Pack it in guys, speculations over.
Anyone denying this is only setting themselves up for disappointment.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

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.

I'm speaking from personal experience. Even on these very boards I've encountered, "I ****ing hate the DmC Reboot" and I'm like "Have you played it?" and they respond with "No, and I won't because I hate what they did to Dante".

So, personally, I'm speaking from experience. Not that I have heard the same about any of those other games but as a hard core Devil May Cry fan, I see this pop up more so than to be reasonably expected.

 

[Knight Dude]

Are there new ones? I know of the ones before hand that also mentioned him in Smash. Since the DMCV stuff was accurate, that made the Smash stuff worth looking into. But I kind of doubt it, as much as Dante being in Smash would be cool to me.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Fair enough.

Sora's right next to Incineroar/Shrek.

yeah there's a new one, by the same guy too it seems
http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/433667198
there was also an archived thread posted in this thread earlier with the same leaks, that Dante was in with a Donte skin/alt. i'll try to find it if i can

Music's and writing are a great combo. Hell if you've got the knack for poetry then that seems like a great way to distract yourself. I dabble in creative writing here and there to let off some steam or relax sometimes.

I never got to play Xenoblade either due to circumstances not matching up well. Didn't have a new 3ds and could never find an actual Wii copy of the game. I'm hoping they add it to the Switch Eshop one day.

Is this legit, guys?

Alright who the hell is to the left of IncineShrek?

 

[Idon]

Well design aside, a character is defined by their actions, and by golly...

Dante's got plenty of great ones.

From left to right:
Shadow, Ken, Skull Kid, Geno, Elma, and Sora.

Sora also i'm not sure if it's legit it looks wierd

 

[CannonStreak]

Is this legit, guys?

Doubt it, though it is me, or does the guy on the right of IncineShrek look like someone from Wave Race?

 

[Potato_]

From left to right:
Shadow, Ken, Skull Kid, Geno, Elma, and Sora.

Yeah but then who's after Incineshrek?

 

[Idon]

Yeah but then who's after Incineshrek?

My guess is mach rider.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

Is this legit, guys?

I hope so. I'd main incineshrek so hard

 

[jokermelee]

Yeah but then who's after Incineshrek?

i can see orange on the one on the very end, with black hair. so i'm gonna assume that's Goku
but the one before that and after Incineroar is still a mystery to me

 

[Roberk]

At this point I don't really care about characters, I just want a Direct to see what Spirits mode is.

Smash Run 2.0?
Boss Rush?
Adventure Mode?
Subspace?

It sounds like a single-player experience and anything as good as or better than Smash Run with good grinding (not Smash 4 equipment crap) would make me happy. I'll be playing this game with friends whenever I can but there's going to be a lot of time where it's just me. I hope there's something to really keep me busy for a while.

 

[FooltheFlames]

But i still want my Ashuree...

After Inceneshrek is Wave Racer.
After that, the orange goggles and hair are definitely Tracer from Overwatch.

I'm pretty sure it's Mach Rider. You can kind of make out the bike

 

[WolfCypher]

Is this legit, guys?

Jesus, this made me grin.

 

[PLATINUM7]

It's Ryota Hayami from Wave Race.

It's not Mach Rider ffs. Learn the difference between a motorbike and a jet ski.

 

[Chandeelure]

Yeah but then who's after Incineshrek?

Looks like a character from this game.

 

[FooltheFlames]

My guess is mach rider.

I'm pretty sure it's Mach Rider. You can kind of make out the bike

It's Wave Race: Blue Storm

 

[TheCJBrine]

Incineshrek would be the best character for competitive play and no one can tell me otherwise.

or maybe Skull Kid or Geno, among those on that box.
