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.

You people are wild, we get hundreds and hundreds of bad text leaks each and every day, eventually one of them was gonna call the character of the day. Why people keep giving these baseless "leaks" attention is beyond me, I could make a /v/ thread saying that the next blog character is gonna be uhhh, Lucas, day after day and on the day I'm right I swear I'll see it posted in this thread with people falling for it.

Yeah...normally I'd instantly go "that's bull****" but the drought is toying with me...at this point we're so goddamn desperate for anything to latch on to and I don't blame us :p

It screams fake to me too but how would someone randomly guess it? If that'd what they did then big whoop...just putting fake info out there with a guess on who's next in the blog and it turned out right...booooo
Had a 1/23 shot of getting it right.

Too lazy to check if Wii Fit or even the Wii has an anniversary or not.

Either way it is entirely possible to guess a blog post. The odds are against you sonewhat, but not unrealistic.

You make fun of that, but It's true...
I will bring up this leak from the smash 4 days
Believe it or not, People actually believed this leak, just because it featured Ridley, Who was a highly requested character at that time.
Looking back on it now, it looks painfully fake. But of course, because it featured Ridley, people took it as gospel....
And let's just say they were in for a rude awakening
That's not what happened at all.

I have no problem with suggesting to keep expectations low, but on the other hand, I don't see a need to force the issue. If people wanna hype or speculate on something, I don't see the harm in that. Honestly, this has been an issue ever since the box showed up. "If you display any amount of optimism whatsoever, your clearly in denial and need to expect nothing now." That's the mentality that's been pushed by some, and it's understandable that some are a little frustrated by it. This thread is for discussion and speculation, I don't see why we feel the need to discourage discussion and speculation.

Reading comprehension, mate.

This 'leak' says Incineroar's in, and Zerorora is an Echo.
I'm not talking about the leak. I'm speculating if only zeraora gets in.

I read the leak just fine and saw it said incineroar as well. My apologies for not setting my comment off apart from leak analysis.

Probably just a lucky guess but I'm going to be naive and yell out GENO CONFIRMED!

Wii Fit was put out 10 years ago at least shortly after the first Japan release, so it checks out.

Don't think it factors into much of anything though.

So Remember, Hype responsibly...
Just because Sakurai Posts an Image that looks like Golden Sun, or the color of chairs match Skull Kid, Doesn't mean it's evidence...
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just telling you guys to heed with caution...
Are you still on about this? Of course people are going to be more likely to believe a leak that features a character considered likely. Imagine if politics had "leaks" like smash. Show me a leak that says a certain senator or governor will be the next US president and one that says Kim Kardashian will be. Guess which one I'll be more likely to believe regardless of which one is actually real. That's just how things work.

I mean, look at the little guy, he could take a punch or two and you would be to see he inflating back like a balloon.
He is just so squishy that I would hit him with a mallet just to see him inflate back to normal size.
I've never been caused more stress than reading someone say that they'd smash Kirby

Pretty sure it's just a cameo...


You stop,
This is just personal opinion okay? We all have different opinions and that is fine.
I am trying to warn you guys...

So:
Chairs mean Skull kid is In right?
Oh, Sakurai Tweeted Something Golden Sun related?
Oh and is that Rayman in the Clouds in K,rool's Trailer?
Oh, The Pose DK is making in K.rool's trailer is a Reference to karate Joe?... (as a Die hard Rhythm Heaven Fan, i can tell you I did not believe that)
The kingdom Hearts Director liked a Sora Smash Tweet?
Waddle Dee was in the Cage fight with Dedede In the original game but is nowhere to be found?... (I'm A Waddle Dee Supporter by the way. Again, Didn't believe it)

These are all things people took as "Hints"
Let's say we take all of these by fact shall we?
That's Six brand new characters... There is no way that are gonna be 6 more Full Fledged Newcomers.
Please, no one is a shoo-in
We don't know if they are in until they are in...
So don't take every hint as gospel
Don't believe a leak just because it involves your most wanted character.
Well, I don't think it means much either. I just wanted to know why his name wasn't shown, but now I stopped caring, so eh.

I mean according to the dictionary smash means "a smashing blow or attack"
I mean what do you think I was saying about smashing kirby, im not going to stab the little guy

I speak this language, and trust me on this, I think this guys are onto something here.
Take it with a grain of salt, but i think this might be real guys
Is it speculation or does it say Dante is in the game?

Now I'm stuck wondering how many of the over 56,000 viewers are only watching TBH8 just for Ultimate news. It's a bit weird to think that every national will for some reason have something to say on Ultimate, but I won't bother doing anything else.

Which Smash characters would you Smash?
I've already answered this question multiple times on threads that don't update as fast as this one, so...

Wait, are we referring to smash as in "hit over the head with something blunt, like a giant rolled-up newspaper" way, or smash in the "have sexual relations" way?

What i meant was, which Smash characters would you PLAY Smash with?
I'd say most of them, with the obvious exceptions of :ultkrool::ultridley::ultdarksamus::ultwolf: and the slightly less obvious exception of :ultganondorf::ultwario:.
