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.

Plot twist: He's asking us to use headphones, because the music will be in the right channel and the left channel will be a secret message from Sakurai himself.

I don't mean the second generation thing. That should stick exclusively to Awakening. Fates tried to force it in there and it did not work. The story doesn't account for it.

I more mean the casual mode, the side encounters to help grind your team's levels, the grouping system in combat, the romantic S supports, things like that. What I mean to say is that a very large chunk of the FE fanbase that started with Awakening-- and this is my take on it, not something backed by any specific stat besides sales and internet popularity-- is in it for all the aspects that detract from a legitimate tactics game. The things that make it easier. More character/"ship" driven. I feel like the fans of Awakening and Fates that enjoy casual mode and replaying it to choose different couples/kids will never get into the older Fire Emblems. They'll just pretend to know about them through FE Heroes.

Definitely agree. Part of that accessibility thing I talked about included the old games' difficulty, limited resources, etc. I think there's a lot of people that just want a character-driven RPG like Birthright or Awakening that they can immerse themselves with. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with adding the little things like grinding, casual mode, unlimited supports etc. to make the game more comfortable to play. Even as someone that enjoys the older titles I think that the series can be too much of a niche and just isn't fun anymore.

So we're definitely doubling up on franchises. RIP. At least the song choice this time around is pretty decent. Still, I wonder that says about the unrevealed content in the game that we're only seeing more of the same songs.

Why is it always the Castlevania music that runs into issues? :p

When will we get the crossover of DS with Digimon?
SMT got one with FE and that was kinda cool.
And they got Dante once.

Approximately when Persona stops being the most profitable IP in the history of existence.
... so never.

Remember my post last week about hitting the music theory with a shovel? Now we poured gasoline over it and lit it on fire.
Anyways... I'm gonna pull a crazy theory out there, that the remaining blog tracks are gonna be songs from franchises that already have tracks up...

I've got headphones plugged in right now.

Such a shame that I have NOTHING TO LISTEN TO RIGHT NOW, SAKURAI

So it's Castlevania music, huh? Well it least it wasn't FE again, but still, every day that goes by without actually new KI content/info/music (the info about Palu last week isn't really new) I get a bit sadder. The few things keeping me optimistic now is just me thinking about a playable Medusa or Phosphora... well and Pit being buffed as I've seen in demo footage, but still, I'd like to see something new from KI soon. :(

While I love Lost Painting and am excited to hear its remix, I'd have preferred to find out about a song that we didn't know was already in the game.

He actually want us to use the threeway stereo headphone, in reference to the 64's controller.
It will play various music from different 64 games and you will have to change the headphones to match the control scheme
Or you grown a third ear

While Banjo-Kazooie and some other games of Rare's are on Nintendo UK's website while Conker and GoldenEye aren't, I feel it may be for archive purposes; someone mentioned those pages aren't new on the Banjo-Kazooie thread.
