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.

Someone earlier explained it could be there to represent that its magic
I think I saw someone also say it looked a lot like a KI: Uprising item.

...I wanna believe this is a GS item so badly to lock this leak in as legit, but I can't just yet. I'm gonna wait and see if we find anyone to come up with a good argument for why it 100% has to be a GS item first.

So notice how long greninjas tongue is, look right below snakes chin where the launcher trigger is, you can still see it. In the grinch leak the "faker" would have also known this and made it that long (because in the leak his tongue is very long).

T"here is one more character, but they weren't in the image. I'm a little shocked, but it makes sense as to why they were excluded. I think when the time comes to reveal the remainder of the roster, it'll be a lot more understandable."

Assuming this is legit, I think I'd 100% bet my life on the fact it's incineroar and they're going to pull out a "wrestling entrance", it's too good not to happen
GOD delete this post so I don't get that into my head and get excited

What if they pull a Cloud and reveal one of the non-echos as a standalone trailer, then confirm a Final Smash Direct (for base at least) coming a few days or a week after?

You know what I want?

A card game mode for Smash. Something like Hearthstone or something.
For all we know, Spirits could be something like that. I heard another "leak" say that it was going to be a huge crossover mode with content from all kinds of franchises, so who knows what the exact gameplay will entail.

Or they could give the trophies some additional functionality in some minigame mode, since they could be stand-ins for cards, easily.

everyone, keep an eye on nintendo's tweet, if it gets deleted in anyway and is tweeted again later WITHOUT the item being seen, that definitely says something

In other news, Nikki is today's blog post.
"The host of Swapnote on the Nintendo 3DS system joins the battle. Her drawings all look very cute—but they still do serious damage, so be careful!"

Regardless of what I'd said so far, I would really, really like it to be a Golden Sun item.

I just hold onto a lot of doubt.

Misread your post. There isn't, but do consider how this could possibly even work; some items can't really be implemented. Directly controlling your opponent and still battling seems impossible.
I could see it where the opponent who has the sprout mirrors all of the attacks that the owner inputs for a brief amount of time. That could also explain the bubble effect as it could change color depending on who the owner is (red for 1P, Blue for 2P, etc.). Yeah you could say that it might be broken, but how is that any more broken than the instant KO items like Kapp'n?

6 weeks left. Probably less considering review copies, early copies, and other shenanigans exist.

I hope there's some official news soon.

If it is the GS leaf, why does it look so different? All the images I'm seeing of the GS sprout has the left leaf one pointing upwards, not drooping down. Also, why would it be in a bubble?
Can't answer the former, but for the latter, spells are often represented as a symbol within a bubble. It's very common in video games.

They're not gonna remove it.

A sprout alone says nothing. If Isaac or whoever were accidentally shown, then they'd delete it.

A card game mode sounds like it would be fun. Maybe the trophies could represent the cards in such a case, and be assigned specific ranks and the like, kind of like the Magic the Gathering/Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh TCGs. Personally, I wouldn't mind something like the Triple Triad Card game from Final Fantasy VIII & XIV, I really like how that works.

Alternatively, a trophy battle kind of game would be really cool too.

Doubt that's going to happen. Doing that would only confirm it. They're going to leave it up and just hope it blows over. But the gale force winds of the Grinch are sweeping through boys and girls!!!

I know people hate gacha games, but I’d actually be down for something like this that makes use of all the trophies that you collect.
I think it’d provide a whole lot of incentive if they were used for a game mode like that.

It is INCREDIBLY obvious the leaker has a true eye for detail, but even the best can slip up

As Kapp'n is easily avoidable, no?
I suppose it's not fair to 100% rule out your suggestion, though.

Makes me wonder if it's Tabuu...

It could be an intentional redesign for smash in order to help players differentiate it from Villager's tree chopping attack plant sprout.

Okay; this quite surprising; the fact it wasn't featured before in the Blog or the Directs makes it even more likely to be a Golden Sun Item.

Maybe is actually Isaac's time? I would be happy for his fanbase.

Greninjas tongue isn't the only thing at all added too! Jiggly, Roy and countless others have new portions of their body revealed. On top of this, every character has been moved ever closer from sides, layered on each other accurately and professionally, and shifted logically to where there characters would save space. Literally hundreds to thousands of shifts and changes if you look close enough.

This leak looking real because of it. It'd be easier to redraw the entire banner than it would be to manipulate the art itself, which is exactly what's happening here.

Edit: I'm agreeing with you lol. Came off as a disagreement
