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.

-Shantae is an icon among the indie industry
-Nintendo LOVES Shantae so of course they would let her in
Is she? Not arguing, just surprised. I haven't seen her discussed much outside of this forum.

Edit: I guess people are getting intense over this lol. I didn't read the rest of the discussion, so I think I'll just drop it. If she's an icon, cool!

Dr. Mario was meant to be a costume for Mario in Smash 4 but they thought it wouldn't be good move to make since he had some differences in Melee so that's how he became a more individual fighter and he's a bit more different in Ultimate so he's far beyond development of his own caliber to be an echo.
But the differences between roy and chrom could be looked at as similarly. One of his specials is even different. It would make just as much sense either way for me.

You people are being ******** and are taking this way too personally.

Let people think what they want and debate like a human being.
I agree.
But the inherent irony in statements like these is hilarious.
People can think what they want, unless they think it’s somehow personal. They can’t think that way.
I agree. Bad way to think.
My funny bone is yuge, so I can’t not not not pass the opportunity to point this out.
Don’t hate me, Swamp. I love you more than you love me.
It stings to say it.

Okay, no.

Again, people not wanting something or thinking something "unpopular" is fine, and yes, people getting their undies in a bunch over just that are being silly.

But you just said it yourself, it's a debate. If someone is going to come forth with faulty, flawed reasoning as to why something doesn't "deserve" more reps, then we're going to counter that point. Getting uppity and high and mighty about why they're "wrong" isn't okay, yeah, but if something if something is going to be used as "evidence", then people have the right to refute that evidence. Not like there's anything else to talk about right now.

They can say why they think what they think, and so can we.

Reninder there's a difference between not wanting something and parading your hatred around.
"I don't want more Splatoon content" is different from "I hope there's no more Splatoon content because it sucks and one playable character is all it needs"

Why do you think Geno is popular in the first place? It's because he's literally designed to be "cool". And since nothing in Mario really looks "cool", he wins by default.
Looking cool is subjective, personally his design doesn't really appeal to me and I think most other Mario characters look cooler than him.

When have games sites EVER been honest about anything. Too much water is a meme for a reason. And thats where I shall leave this subject.
Hoenn actually did have too many water types.
Honestly I think a lot of the backlash just stems from people holding an unpopular opinion, and people wanting to stop others from going against the grain.

Like for example, I'm really not crazy about the prospect of Waddle Dee getting in. There are around three other Kirby characters I'd prefer to see first, and hell, at least three other lance users in general I'd prefer to see. Pretty much the only positive for me is that my brother kind of wants him.

People can go against the popular opinion and not be a troll.
I have a ton of unpopular opinions, but at least I have my reasons for them

Well there was a goku Splatoon argument but yeah.
It's a little ironic.

The Octolings being an echo or even a semi-clone is likely the only way we're getting anything like the Spirit Bomb as a Final Smash :V

Oh yeah! Dudes and Lay-dudes! I love that game. Did anyone watch the recent tournament style exhibition where Tweek was busting out the Kong? That Kong play was impressive.

Edit: Also a Zelda that was on point with the Phantom Knight

I know, which is why I said "cool" in quotation marks. But the thing is, Geno was clearly designed to look "cool", much like Sonic. I may not find them cool, but you can see that's the reception the designers were going for.
I think it's like that Rivals of Aether game, Shovel Knight's in it too so I might check it out
No, it's more like Playstation All Star Battle Royale

So anything new at all to discuss or are we all still so starved for information that we’re about to kill each other?

Man, I remember when this was a smash bros ultimate discussion thead.
What Smash Bros? I thought we are talking about our next upcoming game Shrek Super Slam.

We are speculating whether Farquad will make it into Shrek Super Slam since he is the most requested character.

We're probably one more theory away from it becoming the Hunger Games.

(for the uninitiated, it's like Fortnite, but a book)

It's not really that big of a deal. People get heated, say some mean(ish) things, and some get a little too intense. It'll pass, just like it does every other time.

If you want to stop talking about it and keep the discussion on Smash, just do it. If all of us just keep talking about how we're not talking about Smash, then what do you think the topic is going to be? lol.

So let's SETTLE IT IN SMASH!

Favorite newcomer?? Mine is K Rool, by far!!

Favorite newcomer is K Rool, followed closely by Inkling. Maining Inkling with K Rool as secondary along with Ganondorf and Sheik.

Shrek superslam is a childhood classic same with Shrek 2 and Luigi's mansion. Although the 7 year old portrait ghost that went for a nap and died was kinda freaky lol.

I had to go with :ultisabelle:. I never thought I'd be that hyped for her, but here I am. Honourable mentions: :ultinkling:,:ultrichter:

Well, to get away from the madness, I appreciate they added :ultinkling: and :ultisabelle: in, but pretty interested on :ultdarksamus:. Though hearing :ultsamus: is practically nerfed, I get the distinct feeling that Dark Samus might be barely better now.

You're saying if we talk about not talking about Smash, we're not talking about Smash? Woah.

I mentioned it earlier, by luck of the draw, nobody yet. Though since we have a limited roster to make room for veterans, I guess Pokemon Trainer counts. He was one of my favorites in Brawl, missed him in 4, and now that there's no penalty, he's my favorite in the roster.

Alright, here's a suggestion: we wait for tonight's update and then leave until next week. That seem reasonable enough?
"Leave" as in, "don't look at this thread until news, because people are getting desperate and it's going to be ugly"? :p

Basically, yeah. Got plenty of games, so life's too short to get annoyed about something in Taiwanese video game character party forums.

Also, checking character threads won't help much, since some of them are barely saner.

That’s a toughie...

I’d have easily said Ridley hands down, but K. Rool is equally awesome. And I’m even hyped for Daisy and Isabelle more than usual.

Honestly, this hype cycle is way more fun for me than the last one. Sm4sh had few newcomers I was excited about, but for this one...I’m hyped about most of them.

But currently, Squirtle returning is my absolute most hype part, especially that the team’s back together.

I don't know what kind of design mentalities they've got in regards to balancing poor Samus. Stuck with almost the same kit since Melee while other vets like Mario and Link are constantly getting new toys to play with.
