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.

That Gouki mistake is silly indeed.

You would think someone with that much dedication for a fake leak would actually research the character he's "leaking".

Just wait a couple more weeks, this site is literally going to be in chaos, for one reason or another.
Why weeks? Just wait a couple of days, whether we get an announcement or not, a lot of people will be disappointed and chaos will ensue XD

I can't wait for the inevitable crashing and lagstorm (pretty much) that we're going to get next reveal. Somehow, Isabelle's reveal had the worst of this phenomenon for me.

I can't believe the game is out in under 2 months. It blows my mind that earlier this year we didn't even know about it.

I was thinking yesterday that we knew the roster before the US Brawl was released thanks to an early Japanese release. I still remember the ROB ragefits that went down back then. And we knew the Smash 4 roster plus some earlier editions thanks to leakers and a probably canned ESRB worker. But we knew next to nothing about DLC additions save for Mewtwo which was officially revealed and Ryu/Roy thanks to ineptness on Nintendo’s part. But Cloud, Bayonetta, Corrin, and maybe even Lucas blindsided most of us and I am sure Roy and Ryu would had have the similar effect. DLC content didn’t seem to get leaked out that much from what I could tell.

Leaks have become more numerous with the notion that you can get 15 minutes of lolz via YouTube videos made by braindead baboons. But sprinkled within some leaks are truth and we all know the difference between legit and fake leakersz

I’m the point I’m trying to make is that perhaps Sakurai and Nintendo is playing some 4D chess and maybe saving some surprises for DLC while clamping down on it to make the surprises that more surprising. Especially considering every9’e will be newcomers.

Can you imagine the hype of having zero leak information and a Direct drops without any smash announcement and BOOM! A non-leaked character.

Though that was then and this is now and leaks seem to be on the forefront of any Ultimate Discussion.
I smell some tinted glasses, perhaps if you take a look at other FG hell even any game, most of the studios are just showing stuff because it is inevitable in this day and age to not get stuff leaked. The idea of a "bombastic reveal no one expected!!" is a bit of nostalgic, sure there will always be surprises no one expected or new stuff but in reality that romantic idea of "i want to be blown away with no previous knowledge" is a bit of not realistic with how development works and the internet these days.

The moment the game comes out is the day I get to relax from all this work, so that's very nice.

Honestly, I'm kinda grateful for the time left. Means I won't get sidetracked playing Smash Ultimate.

I was optimistic in the fandom's ability to maintain a calm, civil speculation period.

But yeah, in reality that isn't going to happen.

The internet really hasn't changed that much from four years ago. If Sakurai/Nintendo wants the reveals to be secret, they will find(/have found) a way to keep them secret.

I have a question about the game. My birthday is coming up next month, and I want to hear your thoughts on if I should pre-order the game then, or just buy the game at a store when it comes out. I'm stuck thinking about what I should do to get it.

I'm done with school when Smash Ultimate comes out (the 7th is pretty much my last day), so I'll be able to play it for the entirety of break.

I might hang out with friends on the 7th though, so I wouldn't play until the 8th. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you know you want the game? Then pre-order it to ensure that you have a copy when it releases.

They at least try to, but there's always that one rare, somehow valid leak that either actually has inside sources, like Vergeben, or just had a few lucky guesses. Looking at you, loz18. But Sakurai knows how to keep the things he really wants secret to be kept secret.

I say pre-order it. Chances are, depending on where you are, stores are going to be packed and sold out on day one in a lot of places. Better to be safe than sorry.

I prefer pre-ordering. Making sure it's there instead of worrying about limited stock...

Really? You'd think her trailer being kind of underwhelming made the actual forum a bit less active.

Great she's in, but the trailer wasn't exciting. A great representation of AC, though.

Some part of me was thinking to go to a store day 1, but I don't want to deal with the lines this time around. I've actually never pre-ordered a game in my life, so this would be a first, but I'll give it a try if possible.

Yeah, the overall user + guest count was pretty high for what we got. I actually thought my internet went out for minutes (wait, but it did multiple times).

Man you lucked out. For me, the game comes out the Friday before finals week, and I won't be finished until the 20th, so I don't know if I'll be able to play the first few weeks after release.

I'm very embarrassed to say I don't even have a Switch to use right now, so assuming I get Smash before the Switch, I'll be stuck playing nothing until maybe Christmas. At that point, I guess I would just take some photos, because why not?

Just preorder it on the eshop, it's waaay more comfortable that way XD

Well, if that's the case, try to order the Smash Bros. Switch Bundle. It comes with a downloadable code for the game, and you'd get a switch.

Of course, if it's easier for you to buy them separately than put in a bit of extra cash, that's understandable.

I'm in the same boat as you. I still don't have a Switch. I'm holding out until Black Friday/ Cyber Monday to get one since I can save a bunch of money then.

Plus I'm trying to get better at Dragon Ball Fighterz, so I'm holding out on getting a Switch until it's a little closer to release.

I would pre-order Smash Ultimate on the eShop, but I'm worried about how immense that file size probably is. Should I even be worried? I only have two full games and two demos installed on my Switch as of now.

I love Akuma, probably my favourite Street Fighter character.

Back in the day when I played X-Men Children of the atom... My life changed when Akuma was a secret character.

Life changed again when I played MSH vs Street Fighter... That final boss.

Never forget the day Mortal Kombat and DC crossed over somehow, and that...was interesting.

The card from the other day and the website mention it's about 16GB (probably more like 17-18), not that big compared to games like NBA 2k or FIFA but still kinda big, mostly if you don't have an sd card

But the turtles and hell boy were neat comic book guests for the DC game... Still waiting for Spawn.

I remember joking to my friends that TMNT would be in because they had a cross over w/ Batman.

I watched the ELEAGUE Injustice 2 Invitational live. And I completely lost my **** .

This is not so bad honestly, here on smashboards i mean. Except a few outbursts here and there, speculation is pretty civil. The 'week of the Box' was particularly bloody tho. But most of the time, the salt levels are well balanced by the mods and the voluntary peacekeepers (shout-out to Luigi The President)

No need to be embarassed about that, i don't have a Switch. I only have that good ol' Wii U, been waiting for a game like Ultimate to buy a Switch. If i'm patient enough i'll wait until Boxing Day and see if i can find some sweet deal for a Ultimate/Switch bundle.

I still am hoping out for a character that takes me completely by surprise Wii Fit Trainer and Duck Hunt Duo style.

I’ll never understand why people defend Isabelle’s trailer.
“B-but it’s AC! It’s supposed to be peaceful.”

Yeah, and guess what? It’s also Smash, which gives us newcomers and therefore makes their reveals interesting to watch and you know who else is from Animal Crossing and had an exciting reveal?

Villager's reveal probably would have been really boring if it wasn't the first Smash 4 footage we'd seen.
