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.

You can get that anyway.
But if we look at the statistics, every character in Smash has got a boost of "representation" when announced as a newcomer.
Elma in Smash could signify the revival of XCX "representation" in the "market" for "fans" who have an "interest" for "it"

Also, at least people wouldn't get into heated debates regarding Elma's clothes unlike a certain other Xenoblade girl.:troll:

Damn you all for reminding me that I genuinely liked and enjoyed my brief time with Elma while I played XCX and making me semiwant her for Ultimate
You're welcome.

This just makes it even clearer to me, that he's nothing but someone looking for attention...
Basically an Loz18 situation
I'm going to feel really bad if all of these people convince Geno fans he's in when he's not.
Doesn't mean I want him now, but no reason to add insult to injury.

Regarding the game difficulty discussion a few pages back, I strongly push back against the sentiment that Let's Go is now the "perfect" difficulty for kids.

A lot of NES games were ****ing brutal. Kids were instantly thrown to the wolves with these games and still beat them and enjoyed them. Gen 1 was marginally difficult - Pokemon's always been relatively easy but Gen 1 is def one of the hardest imo.

I think a huge part of why companies feel like they need to make games easier and easier nowadays is that their games are having to compete with casual, mobile oriented games which are super intuitive and easy but addictive for kids. So kids today are now much more used to being handed everything on a silver platter in their games, and thus get frustrated or lose interest in "harder" games on consoles. Kids have lower attention spans with a variety of media options avaiable at the touch of a button. You didn't have that availability in 1988. You had an NES and a game to pass the time, so you had to git gud.

Ik this sounds like a "back in my day" kind of rant but really, it needs to be said. I don't think it's necessarily bad that some games are easier to get kids' attention nowadays, but I do want there to still be more challenging/engaging games for both kids and adults like me to enjoy. If the whole industry starts becoming LGPE levels of easy...then my days as a gamer are numbered.

I want Elma because I want Elma porn

That is dream of everyone when Elma got in smash, who can't resist the porn anymore?

I distaste p*** in general. But here’s not the right place to talk about it. :estatic:

Seems crunchii might just be trolling ending with Ge...
I feel like my hype for Geno is sort of lost. He’s been everywhere now, and I basically expect him. I hope he can pull a Simon and still look cool though.

Just a nice, warm "what if" scenario:

What if there were only a few characters announced during E3 (18): :ultmario::ultlink::ultpikachu::ultsamus:, :ultbowser::ultmarth::ultganondorf::ulticeclimbers:, :ultike::ultsonic::ultolimar::ultzss:, :ultmegaman::ultvillager::ultpacman::ultlittlemac:, & :ultridley::ultinkling:, (playable in the demo too) and the rest as the waiting game; meaning each of the unannounced characters were revealed on the blog weekly (similar to how Smash 4 was) up until launch, and save a few characters that didn't get a light of day such as (:ultwolf::ultpichu::ultyounglink::ultpokemontrainer::ultsnake:) for the big "HOLY ****" factor for a final direct.
Also, they would still reveal the newbies :ultsimon::ultkrool::ultisabelle: on top of it.
That way it would generate one HELL of a hype for the community in general, despite a few people going antsy on who's in next and so on, but with how the internet goes by with leaks and rumors, it wouldn't work at all, but hey, I I'd like to share out for the sake of being bored from a lousy day. :/

I guess Sakurai decided to announce ALL of the newcomers before launch for a reason.

I like it the way they ended up doing it tbh. Lord knows I'd be panicking the whole speculation window hoping that Robin and Jr. didn't get cut.

Would hate this tbh

I'm not sure any hype moment in gaming for a few years will match EVERYONE IS HERE for me

A lot better than just weekly reveals

This is probably the worst beating of literally any character I've seen in a while. No holding back.
I really like the darkness effects Ganondorf has on his moves now, makes them a lot easier to visualize.
Good to see UAir is even more stupid than before. Also, damn, Up B might actually be a kill move offstage now, it has always looked super dope but now I'll be able to disrespect people with it.
:4wiifit:. That is all.
WFT is a huge outlier in all of Smash considering:
-F-Zero and Mother own at least 70% of their popularity to Smash.
-FE is where it is now thanks to Marth and Roy in Melee.
-People give a damn about Ice Climbers, ROB and Duck Hunt because of Smash
-Shulk himself helped to bring a lot of interest to Xenoblade

That's the thing - knowing that ROB and Game & Watch are still in made me happier than almost any newcomer announcement, even Simon. Everyone Is Here was a genius move because it was the right one at the right time and it's the reason that, even if we get no more newcomers, I'm beyond stoked for the game and my hype has never died off.

Nothing really, except for Crunchii being painfully fake...
There was a problem fetching the tweet
What do you expect from Crunchii? We thought that he leaked short version of Ultimate menu music, but we found out that nintendo approved him to post that music. As result, he pretended to leak some musics that were claimed to be in smash on his twitter.

You missed the context of my post, given I was responding to someone "hinting" how all characters gets a boost in Rule 34 when revealed as a Smash fighter, with me using the WFT as the most notable example.

OK this thread is hitting a low point in regards to smash discussion, so how about this for a spin?

Out of all the stages we know about, discounting FD and Battlefield, what are your guys’ top 5 most likely/wanted legal stages for competitve play?
Unova Pokemon League (No Hazards), Lumiose Tower (Maybe), PKMN Stadium 2 (Hazardless), Wario Ware (Hazardless), and lastly, I feel like Hazardless Brinstar has potential, though I'm not completely sure.

Hazardless Norfair also seem like it'd be fun for competitive, though I;m not sure about that one either.


Does anyone know if Hazardless Norfair has anything working against it as far as stage design goes?
