Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

So, we all basically know each other's most wanted fighters. But what about echoes?
Who's your most wanted Echo?

I want Roll as an echo of Mega Man, as a fun reference to Marvel VS. Capcom.

In terms of characters that are already confirmed: Shadow for Sonic, Impa for Sheik, and Medusa for Palutena; Octolings and Dry Bowser are also up there.

In terms of unconfirmed characters: T-elos for KOS-MOS and Felix for Isaac.

Which reminds me, it's gonna be good seeing M2K come back for Ultimate, when it releases of course.

Agreed! Maybe he'll finally main Mewtwo this time around Just kidding, i know he played Mewtwo a few times in smash 4 tournaments and he was quite good but most of the time he was playing as Cloud.

Big takeaway from this is:
Link's new bombs?
Kinda hard to use in 1v1 settings.

Kinda. But i feel like players are still learning about the bombs as they play so we might see some more impressive bomb shenanigans when people get their hands on the game. The potential is definetly there imo, for now it's more like a mental game/stage control tool.

Well, at least I can do this.

I really don't remember that killing like that.

"Most Wanted Echo," but I repeat myself

was afraid of that from the moment i saw em. Sure an insane blast radius is nice and all, but we lost a lot of the pressure his old bombs could put on folks. With only one able to be out at a time, with what looks to be a bit more startup pulling em out, and no way to detonate them if the opponent holds one, link can’t really camp as effectively with em. Not to mention losing both the recovery option of the shorter timer in 4, and some setups from the old ones.

It’s why I’m likely gonna be using young link more, as (hopefully) his playstyle will be more closer to that of smash4 link

Is this leak saying that Ken - the OG echo - is not an echo?

How does Akuma get his own character first then Chun Li? He is a clone for goodness sakes!

And it avoids the most important "who is fighter #69" question

Sorry, I can't read Swahili. Who's that supposed to be?

That's fake. It says "Akuma" when the actual Japanese name for said character is "Gouki".

Thanks, PushDustIn .

Lol what? Seriously? Akuma?

And his Japanese name is Gouki with the Kanji being this: 豪鬼

Nonspecificdudebroguy beat me to it.

Oh that is horrible.
The SF image looks like it is from the 3DS or Wii U.
Also I an informed the translation is trash. What did they use, Google Translate?
Smash Bros. also does not use that much tags in their videos.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Figured it'd be fake but thought it was interesting enough to show never the less.

After Isabelle, anything's ****ing possible.

I find it a little odd that they didn't place him at 69, or as an Echo. Assuming this is real, I suppose I could see a similar situation to him with Ken as Falco is to Fox... But less likely than the outcome of him being an Echo. And again, assuming this is true, who would the 69th fighter be?

Well now that I have, I wish I hadn't.
This looks like the lowest quality content.

I mean come on, why show us this blurry photo instead of at least recording and/or snapping a screenshot?
EDIT:
Welp, pays to have someone speaking Japanese here.

How much of a Tails fan would you become if say a Smash trailer with him or something had Tails save Yoshi from being sacrifice high jumped by Mario, flying up and saving him and then both pummeling Mario together :V

(Probably wouldn't happen as a Tails trailer would mostly focus on Sonic & Tails together. But this would be a fun alternative based on the joke of Mario's yoshi betrayals heh)

 

[Zinith]

But we already have Akuma...

Also, it is way past September 30th. They did not upload it at that time. Videos are easy to make.

He has competition:

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Not gonna lie tbh. Akuma vs. Ganondorf would be a pretty wicked fight...

 

[NineS]

Can someone translate the image? I'm curious to know what it says, really. If any of it is even accurate japanese.

If Ken isn't a clone that would be REALLY weird for the box theory

If you put in there, then those are the top three most masculine men in smash.

Sorry ...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Oh, it's supposed to be Akuma.

Meh

PushDustIn says it's NOT an attempt for Ken. But rather Akuma

Buuuuuut not looking good for it either way

Roll would be awesome, I kinda want Paula Polestar as an echo of Ness or Ms. Pac-Man for Pac-Man.

Yeah, definitely not supporting the way he handled it here. I don't like fake leaks as much as the next guy, but that's a low blow.
