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.

One of the major reasons why I think that we're getting 108 is that the Random button is the first button in the list on the direct's SSS.
I don't think this was a design decision because the demo SSS has the Random button at the end. Of course, there's a real chance they designed the demo SSS first (doubt it but I wouldn't rule it out), but I don't think that's really why it's happening here.

Since stages aren't unlockable in Ultimate, they likely never coded or designed the Random button to appear anywhere but at the end of the list. They cannot simply "lock" stages because the UI doesn't have that functionality. They also cannot JUST tell the engine to draw the first 103 stages because the Random button wouldn't be drawn then (it would be 108 then).
Based on my limited experience I would guess they shifted the entire drawing code 1 box forward, then drew the Random slot where box 1 would have been.

This would have been significantly easier to append the random box into the middle of the stage array just for 2 very short clips of the screen.

This is very much me when people only ever mention Ashley or Mona for WarioWare reps.

Wait- hold on...

What's the rumored Minecraft content if there are only 103 stages?

If Box Theory is real, how can Steve be a character?

Ngamethecube has outright said that he has been looking at leaks just like the rest of us. Easy to have your predictions come true when most of them are just you quoting vergeben.

I'll ask a question myself: what are your top 10 characters in Ultimate? Doesn't matter for what reason (mains, preference, etc.), and order/no order is up to you.

For me:
1. :ultlink:
2. :ultgreninja:
3. :ultlucario:
4. :ultsonic:
5. :ultmewtwo:
6. :ultsimon: (:ultrichter:)
7. :ulttoonlink:
8. :ultpit:
9. :ultyounglink:
10. :ultmarth:

A good time to have literally 10 (11?) mains.

That’s why

Fake or not it would probably happen in November anyway

I don't mean to be a debbie downer, but it's going to be the same E3 build we've always had before. This is surprising coming from a "Japanese Sm4sh researcher" when he should know that all Japanese developers when they release a demo use "体験版". They listed Smash Ultimate as a "New Release Demo" and with us still having no events use any updated build, it's going to be the E3 build.

And they've also hosted a Nintendo Live event before already with this, why would this event be different from the rest?

Because people believe what they want even if it's contradictory--and have retroactive justifications to make it "fit". Not complaining--it's biases we all have. It's not like it's unwarranted, though--the rumors and even "official" information has been contradictory, so it's difficult to make sense given the evidence we have.

Day 1 DLC seems incredibly unlikely, but I can see an announcement for DLC before the game launches.

I mean, it's not like Jimmy and 9-Volt AREN'T unique. Also, while I have no gripes with Mona, I never got Ashley's popularity. If anything she's the least unique out of the bunch since we already have a mage. Not saying that it should affect her chances, but if we're talking uniqueness.. then yeah.

Because he could be on the back in more of a spotlight role with a short blurb about him?

More like Nintendo planning day 1 dlc.
But that is speculation. We do not know how DLC plans will fit in.

"Obviously that was a big part of the Wii U game, but part of Mr Sakurai's approach is really focusing on getting the game done, and then once he has the game done, he'll start to make some decisions about what he wants to do with other characters or DLC, things like that. Whether or not he decides to do DLC again, or whether or not he decides this is the ultimate edition and there's nothing more I can fit in there - we'll have to see as we get closer to launch."​

This may get ignored because DLC is practically assured by users here.

Wait a minute...

If this release build thing is true, then this changes everything. If anyone is able to attend to that Live event and can try out the demo, there needs to be immediately a list of changes. There are ALOT that will have changed from E3 to release canditate.

I mean...That's PR statement, you have no company saying "HUM YEEE WE MAKE DLC ALREADY"
It is something to keep in mind, but I totally don't really feel it
