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.

It's less Pokemon bias and more Pokemon obligation.

Just how I like it!
While I won't mind Incineroar if/when he gets in. It is going to be a bit weird that with this game full of fanservice that Pokemon's new character is someone Gamefreak wanted to promote over actual fan wishes. I'm kinda curious on who was the top polling Pokemon in the ballot not counting veterans. While I never believed the gardevoir/gothitelle leak, I would of believed Gardevoir at least may have been up there as some of the more popular Pokemon choices.

One or Two games aren't enough for me to not want Tails though. Not like some of that would get heavily referenced in Smash. I just would really like Mario & Luigi Vs. Sonic & Tails possible which regardless of any moments where Tails hasn't exactly been a top notch character would be awesome just for the legacy of having in Smash.

And any faults like that in those 2 games should be more at the fault of the writers rather then the character. Tails wasn't playable in either game, but they still had to have him do something but without effecting gameplay so much. And unfortunately suddenly getting mad at Sonic or being a coward was just one of those ways they could still write Tails in without having him doing barely anything gameplay wise.
Yeah I totally get that. Anyone can point to some of Shadow's cringey dialogue in his namesake game lmao. Idk I suppose it's just recency bias on my part. Tails, Eggman, Knuckles, and Shadow are all great picks but reality dictates only Tails and Shadow can realistically make it and I'm rooting for both of them. I am just heavily biased towards Shadow as he's my favorite video game character of all time.

If Sakurai's gonna be biased, at least do some Mother biasing. We're never gonna get a new game, but it'd sure be fun to watch Flint get revealed and everybody wonders what the heck they just saw.
Teddy and Duster confirmed

I'd think "I no longer have to see Michael post this exact same prediction over and over"

But also would be confused as to why tf Felix is the Echo and not you know his son.
I don't care for Isaac so I wouldn't be too hyped but I'd be glad the box theory was dead.


What
Wouldn't disprove him at all
Matthew looks way too much like Isaac while Felix looks more distinct and is at least popular while fighting exactly the same as Isaac.

No lie, I think Yoshi gets the least amount of love when it comes to first party series, considering it doesn't even have an AT yet.


...Then why hasn't there been a playable cat character yet?
Because having a cat would remind him of NOVA getting reused in modern Kirby, and he ain't gonna have that crap.

Well, either that or he's pulling a Kirby by letting dogs have their way for a while before making a huge feline dump in a future installment.

Felix would be rad, I like him more than Isaac and he’d work perfect as an echo of him to boot.

Still hope I’m wrong on Isaac not having a chance at this point though.

So is anyone willing to bet on a direct or new character trailer next week?

My hope is flaring up again because I seem to believe so. I blame this cold I've got.
I think Direct would come in between Oct 16 to end of month or maybe November
Though, i lost a little hope for Bandana Dee and others like a sqaure enix rep in base, due to box theory

Meowstic is my favorite Pokemon... I would love it in Smash
Is this the birth of the Cat Theory?
Yes, Fear the Cats...

Not necessarily just Pokémon, as Blaze and Miyu also fit. Jury's out on Klonoa, since it's tough to figure out what animal he is.

Skitty would be good tho.

The Cat Theory cannot be questioned! I figured this all out folks.

Oh and I got a leak from my uncle's dad's second wife's 69th cousin four times removed's dog's grandfather who used to piss on the fire hydrant near Nintendo HQ that Felyne from Monster Hunter is gonna make the cut too.

Felyne makes it in before a generic Monster Hunter character...I can taste the salt :4pacman:

The US site posted a memory for Fox

Isn't this the first time they posted a memory? Or as they call it, "Flashback"

Why start now when the blog is this far

Fun fact; most of the cringey dialogue is the result of the English localization trying to make the game more "mature".

For example: "it's like taking candy from a baby which is fine by me" didn't come from the original script.

Maybe because they're trying to stretch content for English speakers? Kind of like how Pokemon anime episodes are staggered so Japan is always a dozen or so episodes ahead of us. They posted a bunch in their native language and have to have someone translate it for us.

So how will you guys feel if next week the reveal is a duo one of Isaac and Felix as his echo?

I for one would welcome Isaac in open arms not to mention the addition of Felix which would be interesting. I'd also be happy for his fans since he was long overdue for them and they finally got what they wanted and deserved.
Woohoo we got a character from a dead RPG. Might as well add Django from Boktai.
I don't care about the most popular newcomers. (if Dante doesn't count)

It wasn't already mature enough anyway? :troll:

plus those lines sound way more mature in a non-edgy way

If its Black Knight I got no complaints but I'm personally expecting him to be a boss.

Shantae doesnt seem likely Cause they would have revealed her by now and most of the evidence that supports her is just conspiracy thinking
