Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Luigifan18]

"Bobo and Taj". Hahahahaha...

Taj?!? That's the elephant genie from Diddy Kong Racing. What would he be doing in a follow-up to Super Mario RPG? I must say, the thought of Nintendo, Square Enix, and Rareware all collaborating on a single game has me intrigued.

 

[Graizen]

How should Agumon use Digievolutions in Smash?

Energy Bar (Like Little Mac)
Final Smash
Down + B

 

[TheCJBrine]

In the Isaac thread, it was pointed out how all of the previous stage rosters designed like a box were completely filled up, with just one space left open for the DLC button in 3DS/Wii U's case.

Hm...that's one wide DLC button in Ultimate...

 

[Noipoi]

What's up?

 

[Deleted member]

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.

Watching it live is gonna be really hard for me for the first half of November, so I'm hoping it's soon too.

 

[amazonevan19]

As I've mentioned before, my birthday is in the first week of November, so a direct then would be absolutely lovely.

Would gladly take news before then though

 

[Untouch]

I've seen a lot of people say that the remaining 6 empty slots can be used for DLC.
No, this still leaves empty slots if you don't have the DLC and limits the amount of stage DLC to 6.

 

[PeridotGX]

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?

How would that even work? Fawful or Kamek without Bowser, Vatti or Yuga without Ganondorf, Pauline nstead of Peach,etc. It wouldn't work.

 

[Deleted member]

They should just port Ultimate with more fighters and stages in the next system.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

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

I'm honestly dreading that day...

What's up?

The sky

Yeah. I agree. I highly doubt that the empty spaces are for DLC.

 

[Noipoi]

The sky

how dare you

only if every character has like 100 special moves like a tekken character

 

[Majora's Visage]

Sup guys. What did I miss today?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Sup guys. What did I miss today?

Corro Corro reverted to saying 103 stages instead of 108

 

[Noipoi]

Really? I missed that.

Easy fix--just make yourself born a week earlier, we should get an announcement any day now.

But what if he's indoors? Then it's a ceiling that's up.

 

[Pazzo.]

Beautiful.


Beautiful chaos.


This is what I love coming online and seeing.

Me irl

I didn't earn my doctorate for nothing.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I’m not sure that Sakurai or Nintendo would be able to convince anybody to buy a game with far less content over Ultimate. I just don’t see the appeal personally. But we’ve been over that many times before.

I think they’re far better off updating the current build and adding onto it over time. It’d be hell to balance it over and over again, but the alternative is a game I know I probably wouldn’t be interested in, and this is a person who has always loved Smash and looked forward to each new game.

 

[xAquaCrystal]

Really? I missed that.

And you missed all the chaos that happened on this thread earlier.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Am I the only one hoping we get sweet sugar instead of salt? 25g of sodium is fatal, compared to 2kg of sugar.

(disclaimer: this is a joke based off of a minute of Google searching, do not get medical advice from a stupid forum post)

 

[Door Key Pig]

They should just port Ultimate with more fighters and stages in the next system.

I could see this happening but wouldn't they have to bother the five third parties with paperwork for their characters yet again?

 

[Aurane]

There's always chaos here. Its just in different levels. What happened this time?

 

[RileyXY1]

Yeah. They will have to ask third parties to get the rights to their characters again. There is also the possibility that they could refuse.

 

[Pazzo.]

I want Sakurai to pour gasoline all over Smash Brothers, toss a match on it, then walk into the sunset while we enjoy the world's greatest bonfire party.

And we never saw Sakurai again... exclusively on a Nintendo platform.

brb going to forge I mean change my birth certificate

They could easily convince me with new modes, tweaked physics, and different character selections. Honestly, though, who knows where the series ends up after this and its DLC (if there is any) is done. However, I don't think they'll just keep porting Ultimate. They will inevitably make a new Smash game, and yeah, it's probably not going to have nearly as many characters as this one. However, there are ways to get around that and still make a game potentially even better than the last. Characters aren't the end all be all of Smash IMO, so even if the next game is a roster reboot, I have no doubts it'll be a good game if they handle it correctly.

Watch his next project be a Banjo Kazooie reboot for Microsoft...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I still say the next best approach for Smash after this is a Vs. crossover fighting game like Marvel vs. Capcom. It'd be a new yet very different approach while keeping its tradition as a fighting game.

Or simply put a spin-off like some crossover RPG or such.

Because the only way for Smash to continue and have sells is if they just keep re-releasing Ultimate but with character, stage, item, etc. updates. Whose gonna buy the next game with the majority of characters cut? Either any of that or make this the last game although Nintendo obviously won't due to how popular of a money maker it is.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Don't toy with my heart like that. Sakurai pays more respect to an IP in one button of Mario's overalls than Microsoft have ever treated their entire Rare property.

 

[Koopaul]

I always said that taking the series in a new direction would justify a reboot.

Still hoping for Nintendo Vs Capcom...
We all need to see Phoenix Wright interrogating Pikachu

I'm hoping Nintendo vs. Shonen Jump personally. All the possible rivalries.

 

[Deleted member]

Speaking of guest characters.

I feel like Sir Daniel Fortesque could make for a Playstation exclusive DLC in Soul Calibur VI.

Changing the gameplay of Smash Bros takes out the Smash and makes it just another Health Bar fighting game. I really don't want this drastic of a change.

Better then a reboot with the majority of characters cut.

 

[Iridium]

So, which third-party company has shown themselves to be the most willing to put their content in Smash? Just taking things in consideration for Smash overall.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I'm hoping Nintendo vs. Shonen Jump personally. All the possible rivalries.

Out of any crossover though, I still want Nintendo Vs. Disney
It will never happen, but I can dream, right?

 

[RileyXY1]

There's also the issue of the roster getting too large.
