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.

Odd not to see Bayo as a Sega character.
Not to me. I see her as a Platinum character who was published by SEGA once.
Bayo 2 got published by Nintendo. And I imagine Bayo 3 will be as well.

And yes, I know SEGA is credited at the end of Bayo 2. But to me, she's still a Platinum character, what can I say?
She's probably as SEGA as Red and Blue from Gunstar Heroes or Dynamite Headdy who were made by Treasure.

Platinum isn't a publisher though

They don't own the rights to the character

Who I think deserve a slot: Shadow, Bandana Dee, Geno
Who I'd like to see in: Crash Bandicoot, Doomguy, Elma, Rex and Pyra, Waluigi (RIP), Tom Nook (probably RIP), Decidueye, Tails, Knuckles (RIP)
Who I'd be ok with: Lara Croft, Steve, Monster Hunter
Who I absolutely don't want: Any fortnite representation and any more FE representation

Outside of those ^ I don't really have super strong opinions and would probably be fine with or indifferent towards their inclusion.
Who I think deserves* a slot: Banjo & Kazooie, Geno, Shadow, Dixie, Crash, Bomberman (RIP), Rayman
Who I'd like to see: Isaac, Elma, Tails, Sora, Joker, Dante, Rex & Pyra, Agumon
Who I'd be okay with: Bandana Waddle Dee, Skull Kid, Lloyd, Erdrick
Who I absolutely don't want: Any character from a game where it's more about the world than the characters (e.g., Minecraft, Fortnite, etc)

*"deserves" is obviously sensitive, and really no character deserves to be in, but these are the closest I feel who've earned it

I'm my old "What characters I want for Smash" lists I used to make as a kid, I actually included Prof Hector and Rob as a character.

You'd play as ROB and prof Hector would appear in the background controlling him. Kind of like Pokemon Trainer

It was before Brawl

You know what I feel like starting a debate.

Deserve is a word a lot of people hate on here but you know there are some characters I can understand the logic behind. Dixie and Bandanna Dee are the two big ones for me. But that's not what I wanna debate.

Does Geno really deserve a spot?

He hasn't had an actual appearance, outside of a cameo which even then is a decade old cameo, in over 20 years (a long time in video game life span). As a Nintendo character he is in no way an all star, or even relevant to his series, and as a third party character he is in no way recognizable outside of the Smash community nor is he a gaming icon, which more or less is the standard for guest characters. Even Bayonetta is more of an icon.

The one game he originates from is not incredibly well known (wasn't released in Europe until Virtual Console and it's sales are meager compared to other Mario series titles) and even then it's not like he is the title character from that game, he's only a party member.

His two major points he has is Sakurai likes him and that he's popular in the Smash community. Neither of these shout "deserving" any more than characters like Toad, Dixie Kong and Bandanna Dee.

Anyway those are just some of my points for this friendly debate to talk about something new in this thread. I'm 100% down for Geno and want him a bit just for his fans, but I'd like to hear some stuff behind why he would be considered a deserving character. Or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just trying to find an interesting topic.

I generally agreed with that on Geno a few months ago, but he goes a long ways back. I feel like many characters who've been wanted since Melee who are still very popular (in the top 10s) "deserve" to be in, as that is a feat onto itself, and the longest standing ones left are Geno and Banjo & Kazooie.

You know what I feel like starting a debate.

Deserve is a word a lot of people hate on here but you know there are some characters I can understand the logic behind. Dixie and Bandanna Dee are the two big ones for me. But that's not what I wanna debate.

Does Geno really deserve a spot?

He hasn't had an actual appearance, outside of a cameo which even then is a decade old cameo, in over 20 years (a long time in video game life span). As a Nintendo character he is in no way an all star, or even relevant to his series, and as a third party character he is in no way recognizable outside of the Smash community nor is he a gaming icon, which more or less is the standard for guest characters. Even Bayonetta is more of an icon.

The one game he originates from is not incredibly well known (wasn't released in Europe until Virtual Console and it's sales are meager compared to other Mario series titles) and even then it's not like he is the title character from that game, he's only a party member.

His two major points he has is Sakurai likes him and that he's popular in the Smash community. Neither of these shout "deserving" any more than characters like Toad, Dixie Kong and Bandanna Dee.

Anyway those are just some of my points for this friendly debate to talk about something new in this thread. I'm 100% down for Geno and want him a bit just for his fans, but I'd like to hear some stuff behind why he would be considered a deserving character. Or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just trying to find an interesting topic.
There is such a thing as deserving it due to sheer popularity and fan demand.

Geno doesn't deserve it for any other reason, that's obvious. But the fact that he's remained so prominent for over a decade certainly makes him deserving in my book.

If anyone tells you Geno's an icon or something like that they're lying. But I feel sometimes popularity simply outweighs that.

Does anyone deserve a spot? Sakurai doesn't have strict qualifications for fighter and there can be a great number of reasons to justify making a character into a fighter. Sakurai himself was interested in Geno simply because he thought he'd make an interesting fighter for having a gun for a hand. That's good enough for him.

People seem to think that these Smash fighters needed to tick off something specific in order to earn the spot. But do you even know what those checkmarks are if they actually exist?

I generally agreed with that on Geno a few months ago, but he goes a long ways back. I feel like many characters who've been wanted since Melee who are still very popular (in the top 10s) "deserve" to be in, as that is a feat onto itself, and the longest standing ones left are Geno and Banjo & Kazooie.

I don't mean to discredit popularity and while its hard to measure popularity, I'm sure Geno has higher demand in the Smash community. But outside of that he definitely falls flat where as other characters don't.

I do think his popularity is the only reason he is considered "deserving" and in my oppinion that isn't enough when other deserving characters have that and more.

I see you didn't read through my post :/ or maybe missed the edit.

No, no character deserves to be in Smash, that's made up. However people definitely think that and I wanted to discuss why people thought Geno was deserving when compared to other deserving characters.

So yea I know no one is actually deserving, mostly because they aren't real people.
