Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Knight Dude]

watch smash fans whine about megaman bias lmao

Lol, let em. I like what I like. And Mega Man's my ****.

 

[Untouch]

Here's a question for everybody. Will you ever really play smash in handheld mode?

For me, I'm so stuck to the GameCube controller that it will be my primary means to play, especially online or competitively. I have a lot of free time at my job (Awesome, right?) So I will probably use handheld mode there to do some offline stuff that doesn't require me to be at my best.

I'll only be playing in handheld.

Take my soul and end me now. Of all the things I didn't want to see come back, why did this have to? I'll never get this move sometimes, and I love it otherwise.

 

[Over9000BPM]

Sometimes I feel like judging people for their Pokemon newcomer choices, but then I remember my favorite Pokemon are Porygon and ****ing Litwick and I realize I have no room to talk.

Nothing wrong with Litwick

Guessing I haven’t missed anything even though I’ve literally been gone for weeks.

Here's a question for everybody. Will you ever really play smash in handheld mode?

I totally forgot that would be an option.


So, maybe. My television is not in my bedroom, so if I really wanna play but I also wanna get into bed I'll just do that.
My main driver will be the GameCube controller, though, so most of the time this will not be the case.

 

[Pakky]

Or the ones using the Earthquake against Incineroar.

There's desperation, and then there's sheer "what the **** is wrong with you".

****ing yikes...

 

[staindgrey]

It's weird, I forgot that Classic was the weird branching thing until I booted it up again the other day. I only ever had the 3DS version and I realized I cleared classic with a fairly decent amount of the roster.

I liked Smash 4 a lot but it really just...came and went. Weird.

I never got into Smash 4's competitive scene the way I did with Melee and Brawl. It came out after I'd moved across the country, lost all my Smash friends, and the closest real friendlies were an hour drive. So after that initial "yay! new Smash!" burst, I just kinda... stopped. No motivation to dig into the game. Then SFV came out and I just played that instead.

I've got more people to play with this time, so I'm hoping Ultimate sticks.

 

[RyuhoFox]

I voted for Krystal in the ballot. Im one of the few who didn't multi vote it seems

It's tough. I don't have a TV in my bedroom, just the shared living room. I could theoretically bring my personal Switch to the dock in the living room but me and my roommates all intend on getting our own copies of Ultimate and to be honest I just play videogames in bed mostly nowadays because I'm tired after work. But I'm gonna miss the Wavebird...

Maybe we will keep the GC adapter hooked up to the Switch in the living room and then I'll play my copy in handheld mode and master both control styles.

i am a melee player and therefore a big gamecube controller person and have pretty much only used the gamepad whenever i've played smash 4 in the past year. the pro of being able to play in bed massively outweighs the cons for me. moving to the switch is gonna be hard though, handheld switch is a lot less comfortable than the gamepad, and one of the really awesome things about the gamepad is the ability to do really fast up airs with the right stick which isn't possible with the joy-cons because of the stick placement

Honestly Im one of the people who just don't get the extreme love the gamecube controller gets. To me it has always been an awful controller with a goofy layout.
Aside from that though I predominantly play my Switch in handheld mode so Smash is likely the same

 

[Gothitelle]

I'm just surprised someone wanted Gothitelle before that one guy said it was gonna be Gardevoir's echo.

Every Pokemon is someone's favourite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ok I've never come across a lover of the Trubbish line but I'm sure that one weirdo is out there

Trubbish is cute but his evolved forms? Not much.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I like the Gamecube controller, but I don't have a GC adapter so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Pro Controller is good too, though, and just a normal two-joycons attached to the Switch is alright too imo, of course I don't know how either will feel for Smash...

My Switch generally sits nice and comfortable in its dock, the only scenario I can see where I'd do it is if I'm absolutely desperate to play it/try something out and the TV is occupied. I didn't touch Smash 3DS once the Wii U version came out either, so I don't expect I'll be using handheld mode much, if at all.

Trubbish isn’t my favorite, but I find it kind of cute. It’s probably my favorite out of the 6 or so Pokemon that are polution personified.

Oh sweet mercy why. That looks terrible...

Luckily, this is only the E3 demo build. There's always hope for fixes in the final release.

I mean, there are a bunch of people who like Trubbish.
I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I think it's alright.

I feel like the amount of hate it gets is waaaaaaaaaay overstated.
Like, there's not nearly as much as people say there is.

 

[Deleted member]

Im kind of wondering. I hadn't heard until this thread that Bayo had anything other than a placeholder file in the data for her. Some people here said she had some completed files in the data at that time?
Could someone provide a link to those for me?

I honestly don't think that's actually accurate.

There was apparently stuff ported from ZSS used as placeholder, but this is the first I've heard that she had anything "completed".

Well yeah, I think Trubbish cute, but I'm not sure I've ever come across someone who's favourite Pokemon is Garbodor.

Litwick and Porygon are cuties and are very cool in themselves. Typically first stage and final evolutions are loved. If you have a middle evolution who is you fav/is one of your favs, that's rare (unless it's Dragonair/Porygon2).

Trubbish line is actually held in quite high regard, at least in the Smogon community (for design and aesthetics ofc, competitive is likely a different story)

Edit: I can't think of many Pokemon that I'd look down on as someone's favorite. Even something as plain as Geodude can be an endearing favorite.

 

[Dee Dude]

Want my honesty about the Ballot?

I voted for Cranky.

Because I knew at that point none of my actual wanted characters would make the cut and since there was competition between Dixie & K.Rool for the third DK spot (even though there wouldn’t be one at all), I went screw it and decide to vote him to troll both fans and for his interesting playstyle.

It was either him or Tails who I mostly voted as far as I can remember.

 

[Alternis]

The only two ballot votes I remember making are Ghirahim and...

Riki.
A̶d̶d̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶o̶w̶a̶r̶d̶s̶.̶

I like that line more than the Muk line.

I love lamp :D

Incenaroar and Chairzard are tied in my eyes for favorite fire starter

The owl is my favorite grass starter design

Swampert and Greninja are my favorite water starters.

 

[Gothitelle]

I love lamp :D

Same!

 

[lightdrago]

Trubbish’s line was never my favorite, but I always felt the hate for it was exaggerated. There are worse Pokemon designs.

The best pollution based Pokemon is Weezing tho

 

[Deleted member]

Same!

What, are you two moths or something? :V

 

[Dee Dude]

Ok, I have a fun question.

If an Ultimate DLC Ballot does happen after the game, how many computers/phones do you own so you could try to vote as many times as possible for your character?

 

[osby]

I honestly don't think that's actually accurate.

There was apparently stuff ported from ZSS used as placeholder, but this is the first I've heard that she had anything "completed".

I only know they found 's data as a placeholder and everyone gone "okay, she was decided, negotiated, planned, designed and halfway developed, there's no other way."

 

[Gothitelle]

Y'all slandering me over here, I never said the Trubbish line was bad, just that it's definitely not the best

 

[RyuhoFox]

I honestly don't think that's actually accurate.

There was apparently stuff ported from ZSS used as placeholder, but this is the first I've heard that she had anything "completed".

Which is part of why Im confused. I only heard of the placeholder but several people were talking about how they wouldn't have that much work done on her that fast which made it sound like there were something else actually done with her at the time.

 

[Gothitelle]

What, are you two moths or something? :V

You caught me, you all thought I was the resident Gothitelle fangirl but I'm really the resident Volcarona!

 

[RyuhoFox]

That seems to be the way it is treated doesn't it? lol.

Nah. I don't really remove my Switch from its dock. The 3DS is still my portable console.

Because I'm not constantly in fear of it shattering.

 

[Iridium]

Yeah, this was one of the most random things to find in Smash 4, and it's possible. For some reason, if you use Spin Attack against someone shield near the ledge, you get pushed back, and because he's in the air, he enters his aerial animation, but is still falling, and therefore doesn't rise. He doesn't even grab the ledge when this happens, so he just dies. Sad.

Not my favourite but I like it and its silly pseudo ears and nozzle hands
