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.

I'm someone who gets addicted to these boards roughly every 5 years when a new Smash game reaches it's pre-release hype intensity. Been here since I was a wee lad during the the pre Melee days.

I'm #teamHMMMM with an extremely strong desire for it to be real. Been longing for Banjo-Kazooie in Smash for over 20 years.

Just a few thoughts...

1. Something is definitely up with Gamexplain. I've followed them since their inception and their behavior (or rather non behavior) as of late is perplexing.

2. At the same time it's kinda bizarre that the folks over at IGN, some of whom have 20+ years in game journalism, are speaking freely about the leak and even stating their belief in Its authenticity.

3. Finding it extremely frustrating that none of the very certain insiders can't name names beyond Incineroar. You'd think at least one of them could throw us a bone.

4. Very curious as to who the PapaGenos middle-man source is. The one we would all allegedly believeif we knew their identity. My concern is this source may not be who he claims to be, but I I'm sure PG would verified this...right?...right?

5. This has been by far the most fun I've ever had on this website.

6. When the truth is eventually uncovered, it's gonna be armageddon. I can't wait to watch it all unfold.
The most fun I've been having with this chaos is the narrative about the Grinch and Steve that's being made on 4chan. Fantastic original content being made that portrays the Grinch as a hero, and Steve as the Satanic final boss, with Incineroar being the character who has to sacrifice himself to keep Steve at bay. Some of the pictures make me laugh whenever I see them.

I really hope the next Smash Direct is on the eighth of November, just to reflect the release date of the last Grinch movie.

I know you're reading this. Vote 2B.
Well, it's officially Sunday for me.
From now on, until the end of Halloween, refer to me as SixS!
Or No. 6.

Well, whatever. It's a reference that'll go over people's heads unless they've played the original Nier.

Are any of you putting on some sort of Halloween-themed name and profile image? And if so, what is it?

Y'know, sometimes I wonder if the Minecraft fanbase has ever gone too far with fan art, then I'm reminded that stuff like this exists.

Once again:

This atrocious creation is somehow better than yesterday's, though.

Sometimes even for those who have seen a lot, you need to take a break and watch something fun.

Like Kirby videos, or a baby playing with the new puppy.

Because stuff gets dark, and the world is just black sometimes.

Uh, I don't know. Anything I could do based off of my current avatar? I don't really know at all.

Not provided by anyone.

The way it works is this: The actual promotional material is all there. The light box screens, the wristbands, the sign displays, etcetera. All of the art for that was provided by Nintendo. That material DOES have the unrevealed characters on it, because it is to be used for final distribution.

Someone then took a picture of these pieces and used it to create the instructions. So it is a photo of promotional material that was never intended to be even close to professional quality, merely to serve as a placeholder. There is thus likey to be a Lightbox display of the Battlefield background, but we do not have a picture of what that display will look like. Merely a picture of a picture of that, taken under circumstances that mean it’s not professional quality.

Since it is not intended for distribution, or to serve as actual promotional material, Nintendo would not have provided it. Nor would they care about the quality of it.
Indeed. This is starting to make a lot of sense now with the typical criticisms of this leak. My guess on what's going on:

- Promotional material is being handled for some event coming up soon, which will take place after these characters are revealed. The low quality is explained as being placeholder instructions, given your analysis.
- Afterwards, Incineroar and possibly one more character will be revealed, either in the base or as DLC. All of the insider's criticisms of this leak comes from their assumption that it's the final banner, which is not necessarily the case. Unless insiders come out with actual information that contradicts the leak, it makes sense they would be right about Incineroar, but wrong about this leak.

It's starting to make sense. There are still some holes (e.g., Mystic's rumors), but this explains a lot of the reasons that I thought were compelling points from Team Fake. Doesn't mean this is true, but it does make sense in the greater context.

........If this turns out to be real I kinda wanna see the Grinch movie, knowing fully well it's gonna be bad, just due to the irony that the Grinch confirmed a leak as legit.

I didn't even played Golden Sun and I still know it's a great game, thanks to the World Wide Web.

Btw, I feel like all the games I'm interested in either scheduled to release in next year or next two months.
