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 wasn't spoiled on Simon because I never believed the leak and then I FREAKED at the trailer. One of my biggest Sm4sh wants. Then I saw Richter and screamed in the break room. My favorite Belmont, here at last...

So any news at all?

I'm assuming no.

-anyway, Tansut didn't specify that Nintendo were the ones with their feathers ruffled, so what if it was Square Enix? If Tansut did really know about Cloud in Smash 4...

Quick straw poll:

If Geno and another Marth clone were announced in the next direct, which one would we talk about more in this thread?

I'm honestly starting to think it would be the Marth clone.

Probably the Marth Echo, cause compared to Geno, it'd be a little unexpected

Not sure.

I would for sure talk about both.

Nope.

And we STILL don't know what on Earth happened in that Montreal arcade bar except maybe some people getting smashed after a few glasses.

Still waitin' for something to happen next Wednesday.

In the meantime, new Flint Inktober:

For a quick minute there'll be a bunch of "WOAH GENO'S IN HYYPPEE" posts, and then we'll talk about the Marth clone for 50 more pages.

Idunno.
Judging on the wording in my signature, if I think it is something, it probably won't be that.

What a mysterious text. I wonder what it could mean.

Well might be some people who get to see the character 69 trailer since it’s indeed smash bros as the mystery game

So hey maybe next week we will get to see it that’s how pac-man was revealed in a secret conference

Wasn't someone here going to visit the place?
Problem is, even if they were, the NDAs they signed could result in a hefty sue if they spill the beans.

If I signed one of those things, I wouldn't tell any of you guys anything. Not worth the potential financial consequences.

Of course it would be the Marth clone, and I couldn't blame em. It would almost be laughable at that point.

But seriously, I hope that's not a trend that continues with the FE cast. "Ehh... not sure if we have enough time to make them unique, so we'll just make (insert FE character) a clone. It makes sense. Kinda."

Pretty much this.

I personally would prefer we focus on Geno, though. The only thing I'd say on the Marth clone is a quick groan, and then move on. :p

Oh, that is true.

Imagine that he never comes back here because of that.

This thread currently, in a nutshell:
View attachment 170571
At this point, I'm assuming Marth has a secret evil plan to turn everyone on the roster into a clone of himself. Everyone's hair will turn blue, and their games will all receive petting mini-games!

You've heard of Norting, but have you heard of getting Marthed?

'Cuz I'm already half Marth...

I've been forcing myself to play through Revelations this week after all the Fire Emblem talk on this forum (I bought it day one but never actually played it; I want my money's worth) and I have to disagree that the treatment of Alm and Corrin are truly comparable.

Corrin is the definition of a sue/stu in a videogame. She is given everything. By everyone. With absolutely nothing done previously to have earned whatever's being given, whether that's trust, companionship, or the ****ing Yato that appears out of nowhere after she just about killed everyone and flings itself into her open hand. She has the complete and utter devotion of everyone not named Takumi despite being alone in a tower doing nothing for her entire life, and is even deferred to in every major decision and strategy by all the people who have so much more experience than she does. Corrin isn't so much a part of the plot as the sole figure around whom the entire plot accommodates.

Revelations feels even worse in that department than I remember. Now Corrin is taking the childish standpoint of "I won't side with either army and everything will work out" and people are still lining up to follow her by chapter nine. The fact that Corrin faces, like, no legitimate consequences for her terrible naivete-- and that the only canonical deaths are results of someone else being bad and just not hopping on the Corrin love train-- makes her so much worse than Alm as a sue/stu. IMO.

She's fun to play in Smash, though.
And despite being a figurehead leader, none of the logistics or anything are addressed-- Alm's just handed leadership of the Deliverance on a silver platter, which causes Fernand to out himself as an irrational idiot.

The difference is Corrin has flaws but isn't allowed to develop, while Alm has no flaws and therefore no room to develop.
"the only canonical deaths are results of someone else being bad and just not hopping on the Corrin love train"
Oh hi Fernand and Berkut! The former of whom gave up fighting for what he stood for and killed all of his personal morals due to Alm, and the latter... wait a second, gave up fighting for what he stood for and killed all of his personal morals (including the trinket that he ranted to) due to Alm.

Also, Alm being a noble makes the entire noble vs commoners theme a moot point; the person destined to save the continent is of noble blood. A more direct part of the plot than Corrin being able to marry their adoptive siblings.

Probably the Marth clone.

Another Marth clone? Who would it even be?

Eirika. Eirika is the only answer I will accept.
My one condition is that she uses her FE: Heroes redesign.
Her character design has always been a kind of weird imo, but at least Heroes made it look really, really good. I love that weird cape. And that sword is just so sick.

I wouldn't mind her either.

Honestly, this is why I wish Echoes were just premium alts; it removes the psychology of them being full-blown characters, and would allow for far broader representation in the FE department.
