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.

Charles Martinet was amazing in WarioWare Gold, so here's hoping that :ultwario: gets some new voice clips

Is the unironic Goku support still going on?
Despite not originating in a video game... His video game credentials are very outstanding. Goku has done more for the gaming industry then the majority of the Smash roster.

Listen to this and really take it in, here's a small break down.

- Video game debut 1986
- 82 console and handheld games (7 nes and 8 on snes)
- 12 arcade games
- 1 mmorpg
- Dokkan has grossed over a billion dollars alone.
- Fighter z is massively popular.
- DB hereos still a massively popular game in japan.
- Between Dokkan, Heroes, and Fighterz ... Dragon ball is popular in mobile, console and arcade all at once.
- DBZ has had nearly annual releases as a game since the 80's.
- Nintendo made a snes classic edition for jump games, goku was the face of.
- Goku was the true ballot winner, and you know it.

Before you say any iconic character stands to have that many games... You are wrong not even batman or mickey mouse hold a candle to Goku in respect to video games. Do the research.

Wasn’t English Roy confirmed tho? And I think :ultrosalina::ultshulk::ultpalutena::ultwiifittrainer::ultrobin:ultdarkpit: will keep their 4 voices, and also :ultkingdedede: if K. Rool’s trailer is any indication

:ultmetaknight: Is fine as is, and so is :ultlucas:, :ultyoshi:, :ultpeach:, :ultbowserjr:, :ultjigglypuff: and :ultwario:. :ultpichu:, :ultyounglink:, and :ultwolf: will probably get something new, and it’s high time :ultzss: and :ultfalcon: get new VOs instead of reusing their Brawl clips over and over (Cherami Leigh for the former and Crispin Freeman for the latter plssss)

I just wish they could have brought back Steve Burton for :ultcloud: but it’s obvious that ain’t gonna happen rip

as long as we're talking VAs, Shadow's current VA (Kirk Thornton) really came to form in Forces imo. Before that (especially in Generations) he sounded like a goddamn snake. I still generally prefer Griffith as Shadow's VA but if Shadow gets in smash, I'm hoping Thornton will do him justice, OR they use Griffith voice clips

And even then once you hit a certain age, you no longer care about Halloween even here in the US. Hell, the stores cant get rid of Halloween merchandise fast enough to make room for Christmas. Poor thanksgiving gets skipped entirely.
That totally depends on where you are in the US. Halloween is like Portland, OR's favorite holiday. A majority of the adults here celebrate it, not just the kids.

Also, that's just how Halloween merchandise works. They sell through September and progressively put things on sale to try and clear out inventory so they don't have to hold onto it until the following year. The margins on costumes, decor and candy are huge. Even when they're selling it at 70% off in November, they're not losing money. That's why Spirit Halloween can afford to reestablish a new place of business every year in whatever building is currently available.

Why the heck do you want Falcon to have any voice other than his current one? If they re-record him, sure, but never take away Ryo Horikawa.

Bamco still only has Pacman on the roster, despite making the game.

If a video game origin exception is to be made it'll be for Goku.

Not saying it will happen, but if it does, with everything video game related for Dragon Ball... It would be acceptable.

Though that can be said for a wide number of things.

Luffy was actually Mario.

They have no reason to be using Griffith voice clips.

No reason to, except if they pull from the Shadow game.
That wouldn’t make sense, they wouldn’t care about his replaced English voice actor. You think Sakurai would sit there and go “hmm, that Jason Griffth guy was really phenomenal as Shadow in the English version”?

But they'll probably record new lines with Thornton anyway so it's a moot point really. Just a dream of mine
That does remind me of when a bunch of people had a dream of getting Ryan Drummond to voice Sonic in Brawl 10 years ago so they made a campaign to call Sega and Nintendo to make it happen. Some say that it’s what caused him to get better in Brawl and Unleashed, I don’t remember if he ever actually confirmed that.

I'm not a fan of Yuri Lowenthal as Marth because he sounds like every other major role of his tbh.

I was secretly hoping they'd keep the Japanese voices for Marth and Roy since they're so iconic at this point.

But I guess with FE Heroes giving English voice actors to most FE characters, even those from Japan only games, makes the idea of Marth and Roy not being dubbed outdated. Oh well, I could hope for a voice switch option like a lot of fighting games have, so people could choose their preferences.

Oh man, you get stuff in September? That's why lol. I live in Florida; we don't see things until the last few days of September (just saw a Halloween section on the 29th finally) and they have that section totally removed by the day after; as if it were never there lol. There's a particular walmart by me that starts putting up Christmas stuff week 1 of October and by the week of Halloween, its already a bigger section than the Halloween section lol.

I know not all of that itself means that Halloween isnt as popular, but I couple that with the decreased amount of trick or treaters in my neighborhood over the years. Last year, there was none. Had to go to the next neighborhood over just to see one lol.

I'm just hoping for Yoshi to use his Mario Kart Wii onwards voice clips, it'd be funny.

Hyrule Warriors is a Spin off... I Don't count that...
(Yes, I know SMRPG is a spin-off too, but Geno's got some legacy, Even Sakuari wanted Geno at one point...)
I don't think they'd use Koei Tecmo's stuff unless Ryu/Kasumi/Ayane/Sanada get in the game, anyways.

Here's another thing to consider when thinking of Goku in Smash.

As it stands right now every third party character (exception to sega) has had its franchise/ series on the nes, then continued onto remain relevant in the modern age. (Some less frequent then others). The only "legacy" series remaining are pretty much dragon quest and ninja gaiden and well Dragon Ball.

I'm not the biggest fan of her Japanese voice acting but it still would be cool if we at least get two voices for Bayonetta.

It seems I've arrived just in time for our weekly Goku talks. Nice.

*Ahem* Something something no animu in Smeesh something something vidya gaems.

Did I do it right? :4pacman:

In all seriousness, while I personally would prefer Goku stay out as I much prefer Smash being focused on video games, I wouldn't hate it if he made it in someday. To each their own, though: Everyone has their own tastes. :)

Lucario's the only Smash character who made his debut in an anime. That being said, he was conceptualised as a video game character.

Hey guys, idk if this has been thought up before, but how would you feel about echo fighters that have movesets resembling previous versions of characters?
For example you could have a Dry Bowser echo fighter that has Melee Bowser's attacks and animations, or a Black Shadow echo that's basically pre-Smash Ultimate Ganondorf.

I think they should do so you could toggle each character's various voice options if they had any. Obviously, characters like Mario or Link wouldn't need it but for characters like the FE cast, Shulk, etc. that sometimes even come from games with voice language option, it would be essentially carrying over that option to Smash and people could decide on having their preferred voiceovers.

Then they wouldn't be echo fighters, it would create additional balance work for the development team.
