Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

If the last characters were; Incineroar, Geno, Ken, and Shadow, would anyone actually complain about this incredible roster?

Of course Steve, Shantae, Rayman, Sora, Crash, KOS-MOS etc. would be wonderful, and we all want that one character we're rooting for, but this game is MASSIVE and I can't imagine someone not thinking the amount of characters we have is already enough.

As I've said before, they could have stopped at E3 and I would have been satisfied. However, they didn't and continued, and with each Direct they raised the bar and expectations as well (well, personally the Nintendo Direct lowered mine, but that's just personal preference). So, I don't think it's at all wrong for people to complain if none of the newcomers appealed to them, and nothing wrong about being upset that all the the unique newcomers from now on were already rumored.

It's very likely this will be the first time I play a Smash game where I have not played a single game with a unique newcomer. That's just the roll of the dice with a limited roster, it's nobody's fault, it's just bad luck. Am I supposed to be happy for that? No. But I am happy that everyone's back, so that even if none of the newcomers appeal to me personally, I have the veterans to enjoy. I can hold those two views consistently, being upset at the newcomers, but glad for everyone returning.

Honestly, even if the roster ended at Inklings and Ridley, I personally would have gotten over the disappointment pretty quick once I remembered "Everyone is here!"

We've gotten off pretty dang good this game IMO. I honestly don't even know where Smash goes from here. I have a feeling once post-launch content finishes up, we're probably not gonna see Smash again for a long, long time, and it'll be very different when we do.

Even if a newcomer doesn't appeal to me I still try them out. No use wasting the money you spent by not atleast trying everything the game has to offer. But that's your choice I guess.

Lost me as soon as smrpg remake was said. Fake.

 

[Idon]

Honestly, I've been "satisfied" with the roster since Brawl. But there's always more things that can be done to the game, that would make me happier.

Dude, I will be floored if there is a SMRPG remake but this is a pipe dream than everything.

Fake but I wish it is true

I'll try every character out--I'm not saying I wouldn't. I'm talking about my own "personal hype" prior to playing the game. As I said, I was already hyped at "Everyone is Here" and the amount of content in this game is worth dozens more than $60, even not taking in the newcomers into account. But strictly in terms of newcomers, none have personally appealed to me yet (which goes to how much is already in the game to begin with since there are few who would).

 

[SuperSceptile15]

If the last characters were; Incineroar, Geno, Ken, and Shadow, would anyone actually complain about this incredible roster?

I would be disappointed that Incineroar got in, but I would get over it and still be very satisfied with this incredible roster.

As cool as this would be, that's gonna have to be a no from me, chief.

There is no way we are getting a standard direct right after just having one a month ago...

Now WHY would you reveal Super Mario Maker for the Switch when Mario Bros U Deluxe hasn't even come out yet.

If this leak is legit I will eat paper... guess we'll find out in 5 days ;v

 

[Aurane]

The reality is that Nintendo is a business and there's money to be made for Smash DLC. They know it, we know it. It won't be free, but it will come. I guarantee this.

 

[KingofKoopas]

I mean it could happen, it hasnt since 2015, but it has happened before.

 

[Louisacommie]

No other games are getting announced until either game awards or January direct

This may be one of the most pathetic leaks that try to be real.

 

[Deleted member]

I personally wouldn't expect another general Direct until January, honestly. The last Smash Direct will probably be the final one of the year.

 

[Luigifan18]

Also I should point out, since I'm trying to explain how "ONLY 103 STAGES!" confirms Box Theory (spoilers: I can't). Even if there's only 103 stages, SE rep being in the base or a character like Shadow would still kill it. Likewise, 108 stages wouldn't kill the Box Theory--just stages without a character would allow it (like Monster Hunter). One doesn't support the other. But you all do you.

"You do you, and I'll do me, and we won't do each other. Probably."

Beats talking about the same 5 topics over and over until one of us is writing Waluigi's name out in blood all over the walls.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

People would complain, but at the same time I don't think it'd last as long as it did with the previous two rosters, the top picks that don't make it are mostly ones who became such over the course of the game's speculation period (from August and onwards was when people got really wild really), so the expectations of them getting in have been shortlived in contrast to Ridley, K. Rool, Mewtwo, etc, and of course every veteran returning avoids any nasty surprises.

There will always be an initial shock, which I might add is completely natural and understandable, it's only healthy that fans are passionate about the game and their most wanted characters, but I think most people will have gotten over it once the game is out.

I'm personally hoping for a direct next week.

But that's because for the two weeks after next week, I'll be super busy with schoolwork and midterms.

If they wanna get filthy reach (implying they arent already), just make cosmetics skins buyable(with in game currency or real life money) ala sf5, lol, sc, etc.

I myself would spend a unhealthy amount of money on those.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Here's a question: What are your bets the Everyone Is Here poster continues with DLC? I find it incredibly unlikely, as it was probably planned with a goal in mind, and the "moving around" is only to accommodate what was already planned. However, it would be disappointing for people's characters who are DLC, as then not "everyone is here." Food for thought.

 

[Peeton]

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.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. ()
7.
8.
9.
10.

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

1.
2.
3.
4.
5./
6.
7./
8.
9.
10./

Next game will be a reboot with only a select few characters, and no newcomers. Calling it now.

EDIT: That, or there will be no returning fighters except the original 12, and everyone else will be a newcomer, with a smaller roster size, maybe brawl sized?

I can see them simply expanding it on the sides, so they can place some more characters there

Be sure to study as hard as you can, and best of luck to you.

I use it for my wallpaper--it's so beautiful to look at.

I mean, all it really would take is them having the artist draw a few more characters. I don't see that really being much of an issue.

Thanks, got it back on my hard drive backing it up this time.

Why do we need a remaster of Zelda for NES?

Shouldn't we have a remake instead?

The poster is always expanding and rearranging whenever a character is added so I think there will be room for DLC characters.
