Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[CosmicQuark]

My dude, please, enough of the creepy *** Steve posts.

So glad I discovered how the ignore button works on here.

 

[Radical Bones]

This is my favourite mod moment ever:

S'why I love Smashboards.

Also, I wonder if Shadow could go the way of Chrom and get a teleport up special...

I'd prefer that he got a new side or down special mainly because I hate how Sonic essentially has two of the same move.

Current theory if real:

Eric is a dummy sends his friend this stuff with the intent of it getting leaked because Nintendo did something to obviously peeve him off. He uses his friend potentially to hide his trail, friend is dumber but doesn't take his name out all together. Chaos ensues.

Current theory if fake:

Eric and a friend are frequent users of 4chan and have pulled a fast one on the entire internet.

You could make a movie out of either of these.

My theory is this: Eric is a secret undercover agent working for Illumation. He's been working for the company that prints for Bandai Namco, and he's infiltrated the company to promote the new Grinch movie by leaking the Smash Ultimate roster with a picture of the Grinch next to it.

He's simply doing his mission. /s

Plot twist: Considering Eric is like 50 or something, maybe he sent the snap to his son to be like "Hey look, it's that Mario guy you like so much." and the son wasn't a very big Nintendo fan since he was into call of duty now so he leaked this stuff without realizing it was even a leak.

It's why I've said, and still continue to think, whether real or fake, it doesn't make sense either way, and requires a lot of conspiratorial thinking either way. Though, the post about them potentially being placeholder promotional materials has shed enough light to where it's less unrealistic--still fairly unrealistic from where it was at the start (e.g., too many characters in one month, the aggressive stance of insiders).

<---Check the avatar.

Since everyone else is dressing up for Halloween, I decided to go as my favorite Ultimate newcomer.

That would be hilarious if that turned out to be true lol.

Hello,

I've been lurking around for a while but never actually registered since you guys covered my points of interest faster than light.

Have you noticed and discussed the new demo build played at the College Tailgate Tour ?
Richter playable ! (Also Wario, Yoshi, PacMan) Anyone has participated ? (I've seen pictures of M2K there but he hasn't uploaded a video to talk about my boi)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIg6YX_7rSw

 

[AzureFlame4]

The thing is, we keep acting like this was an intentional leak. I'm going to go ahead and argue that it was very much unintentional or else it would have been much closer up.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Okay but with Isaac, Geno, Banjo & Kazooie, Chorus Kids, Shadow, and Sora...who's next?

Like, legitimately. How do you follow that up? At that point it's just filling in the minor holes, but it's practically perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Dixie Kong, Impa, Skull Kid, (Captain) Toad, Bandana Dee, Paper Mario? There’s quite a lot of popular picks left honestly...

 

[Shroob]

At this point, putting 50 chips on "Incineroar is day 1/very soon DLC that you get for free by subscribing to the Nintendo Online service."


Makes perfect sense as to why he wouldn't be on the banner for marketing if he were DLC.

I see richter in the gameplay scene but when it shows the select screen roster for like half a second it is just the same E3 demo characters

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

If the leak is real, I need this song in. Remixed or not, it has to be in.

...

I want this to be SSBU's Ending Theme Song.

Dreams of our Generation...


Also, I think Night Walk should at least serve as a basis for RH-stage, since it also references PlayYan-software cartridge for GBA (and how the lil' stickman in that also appeared on Rhythm Tengoku's Night Walk).

I've not seen my boi playable in the demo, even though I DESPERATELY want him to

It's the ''**** Nintendo" that makes people think it was intentional.

Someone, get a hold of Zinith ! Look at his boi.

(though I heard people remark about how it was unfortunate they used material that couldn't be played in the demo--not sure if this is a case of that)

EDIT: by Zinith, ironically enough. Though it was hard since the site crashed on me in the middle of replying.

I saw some people interpret it as "all this work sucks lol"

I could see that.

My only thing is? I'm not convinced we have the RIGHT person. As in we have the wrong Eric.

I believe that's the video where we found the sprout item.

I'm hoping wesee footage from another build soon as I'm getting sick of the demo characters!

And even then, the only thing I saw was Yoshi performing a forward air...

[Calane]

I'm sticking with this avatar because it's pretty cool with a capital C.

So, let's say we're getting 10 DLC characters. What combination of 10 characters would make this the Ultimate Smash Bros. game for you?

For the sake of constancy, let's assume Grinch leak is real and Incineroar is also in.

Here's mine:

• Sora
• Lloyd Irving
• Joker
• Paper Mario
• Bandana Dee
• Euden
• Crash Bandicoot
• Rex and Pyra
• Capcom Rep (Either Phoenix Wright, Monster Hunter, Dante, or all of the above)
• Bethesda Rep (Either Doom Guy or a Fallout character)

I'll extend it to 15:

• Spring Man/Ribbon Girl
• 2B
• Ryu Hayabusa
• New Nintendo IP character
• Edelgard

Mine:

• Dragon Quest Rep (That's not Slime)
• Adol Christin (Ys)
• Takamaru
• Saki Amamiya
• Bandana Waddle Dee
• Bomberman
• Lip
• Arle Nadja
• Shantae
• Ashley

If I extended it to 15:

• Prince of Sablé
• Alis Landale (Phantasy Star)
• Klonoa
• Ninten
• Ayumi Tachibana

I'm sure I could come up with more, and I probably even forgot to mention some characters. To be honest, I'd be fine with just a Dragon Quest character making it in as DLC.

He wants Let's Go Pikachu instead.

Here you are

A little late as I had to head for bed, but this is amazing. It's pretty funny how easily recognizable different users are even when their avatars are being interpreted by a different artstyle.

I'll extend it to 15:

• Spring Man/Ribbon Girl
• 2B
• Ryu Hayabusa
• New Nintendo IP character
• Edelgard

• Black Knight (as a free Nintendo Online bonus, sort of like how he's in the beginner's pack in FE:H)
• Skull Kid
• Crash Bandicoot
• Porky
• Bandana Dee
• Ryu Hayabusa
• Dixie Kong
• Master Chief

That's all I can come up with atm, I even had to stretch a bit with the last two as I don't really care that much about them, they just feel like fitting additions. This game has such a stupid good roster, it's awfully close to perfection as is.

Edit:

• Dark Matter
• Agumon

There, finished it, although I had to do a bit of searching.

I think Nintendo's missing out on the big money maker: Let's Go Yoshi.

3. Black Shadow
4. Paper Mario
5. Master Chief
6. Crash Bandicoot
7. Spring Man
8. Rex & Pyra
9 Bandana Dee
10. Sora

I only truly want the first 3.5 (PM would need to be based around classic PM for me to want) with the rest being courtesy fan picks or wild third party choices.

Who I think will be DLC:

1. Incineroar
2. Spring Man
3. Sora
4. Rex & Pyra
5. Dante
6. Edelgard/FE Three Houses
7. Gen 8 Pokemon
8. Steve
9. Crash Bandicoot
10. Dixie Kong/Funky Kong

 

[Wiziliz]

My dude, please, enough of the creepy *** Steve posts.

Didn't realize people here disliked Satanic Steve, sorry!

 

[vaanrose]

Is it possible that the spinning banner apparatus (I don't know what to call it) contains two of these banners that wrap around the entire thing?

The only reason I'm asking is so that I can get to 3,333 posts, but also because I'm kind of curious as to how these things work.

Good night everyone.

Not on the one that's visible, at any rate. That one shows just one of the banners.

• 2B

• 2B
• 2B
• 2B
• 2B

Literally the only character I really want. I'd be happy even if we didn't get DLC, though.

But here's my serious list. It's going by if the leak is real.

• 2B
• Anna
• Crash Bandicoot
• Marx
• Metal Sonic
• Namco Rep (Someone such as Nightmare, or even Don-chan. Both are unlikely, though.)
• Phosphora
• Shantae
• Skull Kid
• Slime from Dragon Quest

Unrelated, but I think it'd actually be pretty cool if Blizzard's Diablo made it in as playable. It's a far cry from the others we already have.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Yes, that one too. And Remix 8. And Remix 9. And Remix 4. And the ones from the DS one. And the ones from the GBA one. And the ones from the 3DS one.

Rhythm Heaven can easily get the Castlevania/Fire Emblem treatment and I hope it did.

I certainly hope there's plenty of vocal songs from the series being remixed too. They are still absolute blast:

 

[Zinith]

Boshi is the only character I want. That's the extent of the DLC list for me

 

[beans]

Came from Pokemon Pircross grinding induced exhaustion, anything happened?

 

[Wyoming]

Nique means in contempt. So while not a direct translation to "**** Nintendo", it is clearly meant that way.

Mdr is short for "merde" in internet slang. Merde means ****, to put it bluntly. Albeit we tend to say it in a humorous way to our buddies. An example for English speaking folk would be: "**** dude, that's amaziiiing" = "wow le gros c'est incroyable mdrrrrrr". This one is clearly in a negative tone though with a sense of disbelief, thus "(Je) nique Nintendo mdrrr" = "Haha, wow I am screwing over Nintendo!"

[lltacx]

Off-topic. I was at MCM London Comic-con yesterday (Grinch was eveywhere woooo..) and i got to play Smash Ultimate for the first time. I played as my main Mewtwo and i must say... this game...

Feels freaking amazing, i had such a blast and i really wanted to continue playing, the people who played were so nice as well, everyone was having so much fun! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

 

[Phyr]

Morning,

Anything interestinf happened on the night? Seems like the majority is now in team real and we are now discussing dlc? O.o

Btw if this is real, I expect incineroar and sora on the 1st dlc and announced on the VGA.

 

[The Animator]

Man, this took me way longer then I thought it would. This leak is still relevant right?

"Mdr" is a french version of "lol" it's literally "killed by laugh"(mort de rire)

in english it would be like "LMAO *** you nintendo"

 

[CosmicQuark]

I think this post illuminated* this aspect as the instructions for these hanging displays are never scaled, as they are designed to show how to assemble and display them. I can't say for myself, as I'm not an expert in these displays (or anything for that matter).

*yes the pun was intentional, I can't help it

 

[Wyoming]

"Mdr" is a french version of "lol" it's litterally "killed by laugh"

Huh, apparently so. Might be the culture difference there. Mdr here means "merde".

Doesn't really change the context of the message though.

Sorry, but you're wrong. I'm french.

"Mdr" means "mort de rire", it's the french "word" for "LOL"

"Nique ninendo mdrr" literaly means "F*ck ninendo loool"

But I don't know if it was like "ahah I just leaked the roster take this nintendo "

Or more like "f*ck nintendo, working with your materials is boring"
