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.

How do you guys even know it was the Chorus Kids? For all we know it could had been Karate Joe or Rhythm Girl.
I believe the Gematsu leak was real. Picking Chorus Kids as a Rhythm Heaven rep just doesn't make sense. If I was a fake leaker, I would've chosen Karate Joe or even Rhythm Girl, as they make much more sense on the surface and would still fit that wtf character choice. If I was Sakurai however, the Chorus Kids are the perfect characters. They represent the quirkiness of Rhythm Heaven, and could do things that might seem out of place when done by characters like Karate Joe. They could also be used as a blank slate. With their ability to sing, representing the rhythm and music of Rhythm Heaven would be much easier as well.

I live in an island, so it is harder to get old stuff.

And some online stores have bad policies towards us.

Not that bad as i write it, but could be better.

And yes, they are expensive online. Hopefully, a N64 mini would include Smash.
No doubt it would. And we could have a legitimate way of playing it online too.

I broke my circle pad because of Smash 3DS, the poor thing just wasn't made to play Smash, or at least not by someone who had been playing the game on Gamecube Controllers for over a decade.

I feel Smash 3DS is one of the reasons that Smash 4 lacked a clear vision in comparison to the other games in the series, they had to make a lot of compromises because of it (gameplay being the worst one imo), and the connection between the 3DS and Wii U versions was never really fully realized into what it was initially built up to be, I feel like they had some idea there that just didn't happen for one reason or another. It's nice that the game could sell well despite the Wii U flopping hard, but it does feel like Ultimate is coming in to properly utilize all the work that was done on those games, because right from the start Smash 4 felt like it was almost there, but not quite.

This. We have nothing more than a name from Gematsu and lots of hypothesis instead.

For all we know, the rhythm gameplay was too hard to make work as a feasible moveset and they put priority on easier stuff.

It's possible it was them, but the only evidence we have is that a RH character was going to be in the game. Sakurai confirmed Chrom and it was Pokemon from X/Y at first, not Greninja. We just have a reasonable guess to come to that conclusion, but not enough to prove it. Like scrapped data beyond the RH symbol.

That Paper Mario sticks out in the Image like a sore thumb

Also, listing 3 newcomers despite saying it's not the final list? lol
They're just saying that, just in case Incineroar is announced (Who probably will be in)
Can you send me the picture for this leak it isnt loading on 4chan.

How is it not? The Wii U version has better graphics, better online, and doesn't leave you with the 3DS's flimsy circle pad as your only controller option.
Smash Run, better stages, better use of Classic Mode, better menu, easier to unlock everything, so on so forth...
Last time is checked, the Wii U version seemed more favored than the 3DS version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just prefer the 3DS version man.
They just don’t understand how much more the 3DS did in certain departments than the Wii U half
Smash 3DS shouldn't have existed, as losing the Ice Climbers and Chorus Men wasn't worth it
Smash 4 would’ve been the worst selling Smash game overall without it being on the 3DS due to the Wii U...being the Wii U...and Smash Run wouldn’t have been a thing nor would we have had such amazing stages made for us through that half of Smash 4, so thank goodness for the 3DS version

If the N64 mini doesn't include Smash it's a waste of money.
Okay not really but it'd be a huge missed opportunity.
I mean, technically we can play Smash 64 sans Planet Zebes and Sector Z in Ultimate :p

(yes, I know the significance of Smash 64, as I loved it as a kid and was the best Smash game in terms of a single player experience... not all jokes need to have true premises, and I'd enjoy Smash 64 on the mini)

And speaking of a N64 mini, it'd be terrible for me to neglect to mention the missed opportunity of not having Rare titles despite presumably Nintendo now having Microsoft's number, including Banjo-Kazooie and (the original original) Diddy Kong Racing.

A N64 Mini needs Rare Titles. Period.

The only game that would convince me to buy an N64 mini is GoldenEye, and that’s just flat out not happening for a multitude of reasons despite it being one of the biggest N64 titles out there.

He's a fraudulent muppet who managed to get a date right one time. We should pay as much attention to him as we do some guy on 4chan who pretends to know things. Wait a second...

Okay, I see discussion has died down a bit. I guess I'll ask another question to increase it. What is the most unpopular opinion you hold in Smash, across all games? Or opinions, if you have multiple.
Smash is not a fighting game

I have sources that tell me GoldenEye will be on the N64 mini, but due to licensing issues, Bond will have his likeness modeled after George Lazenby. And the guns turned into walkie-talkies.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I mean, this was somewhat clear already, but the attention to detail is nice. No other Pokémon in Ultimate can claim to have always followed their sprite poses for their renders.

Edit: I guess Pikachu didn't follow all of them either, but was the closest. Greninja and Mewtwo have as well.

I honestly don't get why people completely dismiss LeakyPandy. I mean, I hear they're not always right, but does that mean they're always going to be wrong? Every dog has its day, you know?

I personally believe them, but that's probably just because I want them to be right (Dragon Quest, let's go!). In any case, I'm willing to hear them out and give them a chance to redeem themselves for their apparent failures in the past. It seems like they want to improve their image, so I'm going to keep what they have to say in mind until they're proven wrong.

You need actual, credible evidence to prove that you're a legit leaker.

Name something that Pandy's gotten right.

If LeakyPandy was right about a direct date before, could he not be right again? Seems he just isn't good with the actual content lol.

God....I'm so desperate for info I'm literally hoping LeakyPandy is right.....

Apparently the March direct date.

Honestly, I know nothing about them.

I just want to believe them because that means I could see Dragon Quest in Smash someday.

If they're wrong, oh well. At least it gave me a little hope for a while.

Believing in something with an unfounded viewpoint is a horrible mindset. It's why leaks and rumors get spread.

"I want it to be real!" is not a good enough reason to believe in something.

Probably the earliest I've seen Quick Draw kill, near the ground. Doesn't mean much, but it's cool, I guess.

Understood. I'm going to do it anyway, though.

It may be stupid to do, but I'll deal with the disappointment when the time comes.

As much as I hate saying his name, if you want to know when a Direct's coming, look at Loz's group of 'friends'.

Whenever the leakers 'reset the clock' on Twitter, it always been a Direct announcement is near, and so far none of them have done so.
