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 will say a lot of people said the Ken leak was fake until the OP posted a bigger picture with the other characters. Then everyone started calling it real. If the OP for the Paper Mario one does the same, then we'll at least have something interesting to talk about but for now I'm gonna call it a super original and good fake.



I mean, many characters were 2D only at one point. Pit and Ice Climbers were original 3D designs made for Smash. This paper mario pic has this 3D-2D vibe about him (He looks both) that I've never seen before. It would be super unique and interesting take on the character.
And the OP isn't going to do the same.
It's original, it's good, and it's fake.

I can't think of anytime Paper Mario has ever been turned 3D like that. Even in the games where 3D is a thing he still is always facing at a side at a 2D perspective. Sakurai did it with G&W I'd be shocked if he didn't with P.Mario (and yeah I know G&W is actually a 3D render but he's always made to appear 2D)

Like I'm not saying it's ideal to have Soma as an echo of Alucard in this hypothetical world where Alucard is in Smash, I'm just saying it's possible.

The ideal would be the Kirby method, or a smattering of his in-game souls.

The big thing about the Ken leak was, even with the smaller version of the pic, the person would have either had to have had Ryu's Smash5 model, or build Ryu's Smash5 model from the ground up.

Vaanrose already went into great detail about why even the smaller-version of the image has some alarming 'real' bells tied to it.

Hold up, there's a Paper Mario leak now? Hit me up with a picture or link!

Pretty sure it's fake because the shadows are too extreme and he's standing in a position that is too similar to a screenshot of the stage available in-game (Pauline's dress is in the same position) but I wish it were real.

If anything, I actually think that Paper Mario looks great!... except for the part where he loses the "Paper" from him. Clever fake leak.
Or who knows, maybe its real and I dare to say its one of those things that looks a ton better in motion.

Idk, most people are saying "why isn't he like Game and Watch?" and therefore its fake, but I'd beg to differ that if they were to make Paper Mario, he'd be treated just like Pit, Ice Climbers and Duck Hunt were, more 3D than you'd expect.

Edit: Disclaimer, I'm not defending the leak, I'm defending the design.

The big difference here is that Pit, IC's and Duck Hunt were 2D simply due to being sprites due to restrictions at the time.

Paper Mario's existence is defined by being flat.

Does anyone think we might get a direct announcement tomorrow? If there is no announcement today. I thought Nintendo announce confirm dates a day before a direct.

These "leaks" are driving us to the point of lunacy. Every time one comes out, it immediately gets debunked somehow, and they don't stop coming. Barely any have looked even close to convincing at this point.
