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.

If something happened, more than two people would have gotten it for sure. I'm 99% positive it's a heckin' bamboozle. A speckledorf, if you will.
I just find it verrrrrrrrrrry odd that only two people out of hundreds if not thousands would have seen it.
I mean, with the combination of the possiblity of Youtube's broken subscription feeds and Nintendo deleting it super fast, maybe alot of people saw it but don't go on the Smash reddit? Have there been people freaking out anywhere besides the Smash Reddit?

From the very same reddit thread;
You're probably going insane. They don't title the streams "Smash Ultimate Direct." They title it "Super Smash Bros Ultimate Direct #.##.##," so unless you had that specific title, it's not real
...Yeah, it's probably fake.

If not Smash reddit, it'd be exploding on Twitter, or Tumblr, or any of those sites.

They're not going to put up a Smash Ultimate Direct (or any Direct) without a date in its title, it'd get easily confused with the other one. Which, incidentally, has the date in its title and on its thumbnail.

And believe it or not, one new character being the only content we get in over 2 months can't sustain excitement and speculation forever lol
Especially since that one character was a semi-clone and had the most underwhelming reveal trailer in Smash history.

Yeah, unless more than the current two people come forth, I'm not buying it. Especially with the "source" picture not having a date on it.

Well, all you have to do is find one of the other videos listed. Such as the PBG one, and see what the date is on them

*sigh* if you want a minigame, you gotta do it yourself, apparently...

So I'm pretty sure at least 5 of ya'll have OCs of some kind, whether you wanna admit it or not. Without explaining the character themselves beyond their name, give a brief description of how their moveset would theoretically work in a Smash game. Would they be a semiclone of an existing character? Would they have a fancy gimmick to make 'em stand out from the rest of the crowd? Would they just be a Mii Fighter with some adjustments? Or maybe they'd be a mishmash of 2-5 characters?

Especially since that one character was a semi-clone and had the most underwhelming reveal trailer in Smash history.

I know I'm the one who posted the link, but I'm "Pressing X to doubt" here.


Why would only a small handful of individuals get this?
.............Or, it could just be a hoax between those two guys.


Kind of ironic how only those two guys seemed to have seen it.
I think i saw your reply on that twitter saying "I'm not going to throw shade at you, but an 'organized effort' wouldn't be the first time this has happened in this cycle of speculation.", or at least I think that was you, but regardless, I agree, this could EASILY be an organized effort, just like that dumb pretending leaker we got not so long ago pretending to "have the demo" and such and gave "evidence" of clips of snake taunting and such and it was just multiple accounts making themselves the questions and answering them lol, good times… But yeah anyway, this could easily be organized effort, and if not, it would be exploding for way more people imo, and even on other websites too. I won't bite with this one unless it's actually announced, and either way, i'm already expecting something maybe this next week because of the update on the playlist thing on youube and the "new" banner being removed, which already indicated the 17th to be the possible date. We'll see…

How'd he get called out? i mean its a pretty easy thing to fake between two people anyway
The "Link" he provided that would take him to said livestream takes you to a deleted Game Grumps video instead.

He banked on the "Blank Youtube Layout" for a deleted video to fool people, but people were able to figure out what the link really was.

My god, I hate when people pull stunts like this. They know we want info and they tease us for it.

This would be a really bizarre thing to fake though.

"Ha, DUDE, I bet we could TOTALLY trick a bunch of people into thinking that Nintendo is preparing for a Smash Direct at some point in the future!"

"Bwahaha, you're right we could totally bamboozle them!"

It's like making a fake screenshot to leak that Sonic is in the game. We already know that, everyone knows that.

Like if it is fake, ok good job I guess???

And if it's real, ok good job I guess???

Literally doesn't matter.

Alright, apparently the OP is still standing by their word, so at least we know they weren't working together, I guess?

Man, I wish we got some custom moves as their "new" versions.

Like Ganondorf's diagonal wizard's foot was so good and further differentiated him from Falcon. Why not keep it?
This 100%, same for echoes. In Smash 4 it always bothered me that they didn't just give the echoes one of the custom moves as standard. It still bothers me with Ultimate.

Well, the person who provided a screenshot was proven to be fake, so it's on the shoulders of one guy.


One guy vs the ENTIRE internet.


I think we know who's legit here.

Doesn't Youtube leave behind all push notifications in their alerts section as well?

So OP should be able to tell whether he really received sth or not.... Yeah I'm calling this bull****.
