Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Shroob]

Ever heard of Zain?

Edit: so sorry! did not mean to double post. I don't see a way to delete the post...

That's great and all, but your average person just isn't going to blossom like that.

You can't play Melee online without dolphin, you can't play it on a modern TV without input lag, and depending on how big your scene in, you may not get to play versus humans.



Melee won't 'die', but I wholly expect Ultimate to give it a run for its money if the tech is there.

Out of boredom, I decided to Thanos Snap the roster using a random team generator. I separated PKMN Trainer and the Miis into their own separate fighters. Ice Climbers and Rosalina and Luma were kept together.

Interesting tidbits:
-Out of the original 8, Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu were the only survivors. If we extend it to the original 12, then we can include Luigi and Jigglypuff.
-Out of all the Pokemon, only Mewtwo, Squirtle, and Greninja were snapped.
-Out of all of the FE characters, only Roy and Robin were snapped.
-Out of the current newcomers, Ridley and Inkling were snapped.
-Original Link was the only Link snapped.
-All Mii Fighters survived.

Man, if only Ridley swapped places with one of the mii fighters. Then I'd have no issues with that.

Because the pros who make money don't want to move on to a new game there's a chance they'll flop at. Because the pool of characters they need to get good and practice against is so much smaller. Because there's no epic wavedashing in Ultimate or glitches that give advantage in general. Because they've invested 10 years in the game for whatever reason and don't want to let go.

I said "I HOPE it will end Melee" not that it will.

Glitches? To what glitches are you referring to?

 

[Luigi The President]

Glitches? To what glitches are you referring to?

The existence of wavedashing is a glitch.

Which Smash characters do you think listen to Daft Punk?

...ROB? Probably?

 

[Flyboy]

What press members? Is this about that one tweet by that media relations guy?

Oh, is that what he was? My mistake, didn't mean to spread false info. I felt like there was some kind of test featuring top Smash players tweeting about it too, but I might just be misinterpreting their role.

 

[Deleted member]

The existence of wavedashing is a glitch.

It's not though. It's the physics of the game behaving as intended.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Which Smash characters do you think listen to Daft Punk?

Everyone.

I mean, who wouldn't listen to this?

 

[Applebutter61]

The existence of wavedashing is a glitch.

Huh. Dislike wavedashing. Label it as a glitch. I see.

(Even though wavedashing is what has kept Melee alive)

Furthermore, it's not that Melee players might "Flop" at the new game. It's just that they like Melee the best. You DO understand that tech skill is not what makes the best player, right?

You're right about the top smash players/commentators thing, D1 posted this yesterday:

Maybe they did get to play a new build, idk. Still weird that he was so vague about it.

Physics itself is a glitch.

Sorry, I was genuinely misinformed on wavedashing. I stand by it being an exploit, if that's good or bad that's up to you.

However, you've yet to refute my other points and admit that it's what keeps Melee alive. Why should we prioritize a game with 10 actually viable characters with the same 10 players who tend to get into finals (exaggerating but you know I mean the Gods) with the same techniques and finales we've seen for over a decade over a fresh new balanced installment.

Great now I want to see an Infinity Wars version fanfic of Smash Bros.

Also on side note. Yay K. Rool survives.

"we"?
I think the melee players are doing it just fine themselves without us needing to help

 

[MSmariosonic]

Ultimate tourneys are going to be insane

All those possible match-ups!

There's going to be a lot of homework to figure out every single character in the game.

Isn't that the fun part?

Little Mac definitely does while training. Idk about anyone else

[Noipoi]

There's gonna be a lot of match ups, until they figure out who's top tier.

Then it'll just be that.

Mr. Sakurai, I don't feel so good...

Out of all the characters in my sig, 2/3 survived.

Of course Dedede survived, he's too perfect to be erased.

Sorry. Was a bit too general with we. But I stand by what I said.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Please don’t have debates around Melee players vs other Smash players. It does nothing but cause problems.

Then suddenly one character has a dumb grab combo and we have to wait for a patch.

This especially would be pretty cool to see, fanfic wise.

The snap would rebound and erase Thanos instead if he tried.

Good thing this game will probably have quite the long support from the development team

: Lucas I unfortunately don't feel so good...
*Lucas runs to Rosalina hugging her tightly fearing for the worst*
: No, no its gonna be alright. You're not gonna go!
: Lucas remember to take care of yourself...
*Rosalina & Luma gets dusted*
: ...Mom...
*The other heroes comforts Lucas*

I'm too stubborn to git gud, I only play Shulk and I suffer for it.

 

[lightdrago]

Mr. Sakurai, I don't feel so good...

Sakurai: *tear rolls down face*

Most Wanted Character: Tears, really?

Red Skull: They are not for him...

*gets thrown in to assist trophy hell*

 

[Applebutter61]

Melee has more viable characters than smash 4 did. (Cough, Bayo, Cough)

Sakurai: *tear rolls down face*

Most Wanted Character: Tears, really?

Red Skull: They are not for him...

*gets thrown in to assist trophy hell*

Hey, I like that you're from Twinleaf Town! Gen four is my favorite! Can you tell? Haha

Git gud with shulk
If you're losing to people using "better characters" you just haven't gitted gud enough, damn it

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Someone please get to an Infinity War style Smash fanfic ASAP. It. Needs. To. Be. Done!

 

[Deleted member]

Git gud with shulk
If you're losing to people using "better characters" you just haven't gitted gud enough, damn it

And therein lies the problem. You can only git so gud with a mid/low tier character.

I also don't have time to git gud. I really don't care if I lose most of the time, I just want to play the game, unless you (as a player) are unfun to fight against.

No one will prioritize Melee, Ultimate will always get top billing by Nintendo just as 4 did in the smash community.

But there's nothing about Ultimate's existence that means everyone should just drop Melee and move on to the new game. You yourself have admitted that the physic engine of both games are vastly different, and thats the main reason why Melee players wont move on. They dont find new smash FUN competitively. You cant force them to play games they dont enjoy playing or watching.

And your assessment that the only reason the game survives is because the "God's" don't want to move on is absolute horse****. The community is more than just the top players, there wouldn't BE a community if it was just the top players. The Melee community is that of people who simply prefer Melee over the other games, despite never topping at a major, or maybe even winning a local. It's made up of people who kept the game alive without any support from Nintendo or anybody else, just out of pure love for the game.

And then there's your point that only few people actually top in Melee, meanwhile the likes of Zain, Plup, Leffen, and others who have only recently come up and began to dominate in the scene prove that false.

Melee will never overtake Ultimate, but why on Earth would you hope for the scene to just die?

You kept Jigglypuff but removed Mewtwo? That’s bonkers.

So, do you guys think we'll be getting a reveal tomorrow?

I know that every mid-low tier main says that their character has "potential", but I actually think Shulk does have unlocked potential.
