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.

Ignoring your blasphemous second statement, what made you think it'd be Incineroar in a Decidueye world?
Nothing special. Just saw the usual things.

He's the one being pushed in the anime, Ash is probably getting one. His concept art is the one with Ash in it. He's much more popular in Japan than Decidueye. etc. etc.

And I also found it weird that people thought Decidueye would be great because he'd be the first archer exclusive character in Smash, when Pit - who was an archer exclusive character - was changed to get in smash so he could do more than just be an archer.

"Gee, it sure it boring around here!"

"Mah boi! This game is what all true Smashers strive for!"

"I just wonder what Sakurai is up to!"

*Wooosssshhh*

"Smashboards, Sakurai and dev team have gone another week without a trailer!"

"Hmmm.... how can we help?"

"It is written, only Smashboards can decode Sakurai!"

"Great, I'll grab my logic!"

"There is no time! Your speculation is enough."

"Squadalah! We're off!"

I would say another mea culpa but I don't even know what I'm doing anymore
"Wow, what are all those walls of text!?"

"These are the Leaks of Evil. You must determine the credibility of each!"

"I guess I better get debating!"

Welp Ash-Greninja is here, I'm super shocked.

So, the Sonic character guy guessed right?

Hmm, that Isabelle pic reminds me of an angry Shih Tsu dog... That's one way to start things when peeking in here.

Still dry on info besides today's Greninja change I reckon. Something tells me the FS itself won't change, but Greninja's form is the only thing that changes when doing it.

For me?

You. I like you.

I wouldn’t call KOS-MOS a pipedream, remember Namco is co-developing Ultimate and they love putting her in crossovers, not to mention Xeno’s newfound popularity.

Frankly I’m still betting on a new Namco rep before release, hoping to god it’s KOS-MOS but could also see Lloyd making the cut as I think he’s cool. It’s really weird (to me anyway) that the co-developer only has one rep still.
Wouldn't that be something if we got KOS-MOS, Elma, and Rex & Pyra as the ultimate Xenoblade character content.
I didn't think he would even be considered, verg allowed me to actually discuss Incineroar here.
For that, I am thankful.
I'm glad for you.

As for me, Gardevoir, and Primarina, well... we'll get our chance another day. *sinks beneath the waves*

I just realized that I forgot to put Frogger on my list of pipedream characters earlier.

I have failed you, Frogger.
If Frogger gets hit by the Kapp'n AT or the Cars on Onett, does he just straight up die?

I'm kinda tired of leaks and leak talk, to be perfectly honest.

This isn't remotely the first time I've said this though. I just choose to not partake in leak discussions much anymore. There isn't much I feel I can add to the topic, most of the time.

If we're lucky we'll get a direct in a few weeks. Then we can talk about official things as opposed to rumored things.

On the flip side...

There's only two and a half weeks until November.



If nothing else, an early November Direct is sooner than it seems.

Two weeks until November.
Then two more weeks until Let's Go.
And exactly three weeks after that it's Smash.

We're closer than we think.

I'm gonna bank between October 12th - 16th. It seems right, given the schedule.

I pretty much sympathize with Reggie when it comes to leaks. The element of surprise is worth 10x more than someone having their time in the limelight and I wish leakers would would realize that.

But to harass them over a video game? That's ****ing gross.

SmashFaqs is pretty bad altogether. There are some cool users, but a lot of them are just mean or creepy. I pretty much only go there to argue if I'm feeling edgy that day.

It would be nice, but then again, there really isn't that much time left before Ultimate releases anyway.

I've been around for much longer droughts than this and I can always just do something else to fill my time, be it something more important or just something recreational like watching a show I like, reading a good book, actually playing a video game rather than continuing to discuss one, etc. So in the grand scheme of things, leaks and rumors neither interest nor bother me very much anymore. I don't have to stay around for discussions that don't pique my interest, whatever the reason(s) for it may be.

More than anything else at this point, I'd still just like to see who the remaining newcomers are. I'm not 100% sold on Vergeben's leak (it could possibly be outdated, as was the case with Gematsu, or we could still get at least one more newcomer beyond the ones he's mentioned, as he didn't give any info stating that K. Rool was playable).

I know you're reading this. Vote 2B.
Out of absurd desperation, impatience, and boredom, I am doing to make a deal with the devil:
We will have a Nintendo Direct tomorrow, or announced tomorrow.
End of story.

I have nothing to lose, as I have already lost my dignity years ago.
Well, I suppose I could lose credibility, but I'm not a leaker, or very good at speculating either way. Worst case scenario: I look desperate and insane.

Honestly, I'm just glad that we're gonna have a Smash Bros. game that won't be delayed this time, unlike the last two games. Goes to show that Sakurai really planned all this out much better than the previous two cycles.
