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 think it'll be the same, and the Ash Greninja transformation is just an aesthetic change.
I think Lucario will get his Brawl Final Smash back with a Mega Lucario visual upgrade, too.

I now have a crazy theory.

What if Dixie Kong shows up in Diddy's Final Smash instead of a character?

It would be a nice nod to how they were planned to be a two-in-one in Brawl, right?

The same thing, I'd imagine.

actually there's a pending rumor claiming Greninja's Final Smash has been "updated"

His final smash has been updated at least visually. That's no rumor.

I've been thinking that, I also think poochie is involved in Yoshi's new FS.

Tfw you lose your mega evolution but Greninja gets his weird anime power-up.


Okay but no seriously, Ash-Greninja has always really weirded me out. It's like the Peachette of Pokemon, minus the weird viral Bowser meme part.

Who's to say Charizard doesn't enter his mega evolution during the Brawl Final Smash?

One of the reasons that I've believed Vergeben for so long was because of the fact that he got pissed off at people. Like, he's been consistent on Smash, and he's staunchly defended his leaks, even to the point where he's been a real jackwagon about it.

If Greninja's Final Smash is upgraded to match his new Ash-form, it'll probably involve a giant Water Shuriken or something. I don't know much about the anime but in the games at least Ash-Greninja gets a more powerful Water Shuriken.

...Anyway, Zard-X has had his turn, I really wish that Triple Finish involved Zard-Y. Yeah the sunlight would weaken Squirtle's Hydro Pump, but it'd charge Ivy's Solar Beam faster so it'd all work out.

Can the next blog update be like: “here’s character who hasn’t appeared on blog yet btw direct on the 16th k bye.”?

Cause I’d appreciate it

The FS is likely still the same, just with Greninja transforming.
Same deal with Lucario, it'll probably get Aura Storm back while Mega evolving for visual flair.

The focus of Pokemon is the Pokemon, they're the ones with the cool powers and unique designs. I can see why Sakurai doesn't have any of Pokemon's human characters as playable.

What Ash-Greninja really means is that this Greninja has a poor match-up against Charizard

Yeah, this makes more sense since transform Final Smashes are gone.

Lucario: "Watch the power of MAXXX AURRRAAAA"

Oh, they wouldn't be playable, it'd be a Pokemon Trainer situation, but with Meowth, Arbok, Weezing, and maybe Wobbufett.

He could keep his original since that's in line with the rest of Ultimate's FS', or they could draw from the anime again and use that large orange shuriken as a huge blow to the opponent.

It does 0% damage and Greninja faints immediately.

This week literally had the three characters I'm most apathetic about in the entire series as the updates. :lick:

But N though. He can speak to Pokemon, therefore he should be playable.

You could also use it to argue for...

Not that Agumon first appeared in an anime or anything (it first appeared in the 1st Generation of the V-Pets).
