Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Jedisupersonic]

So I've gone back like 3 pages and no mention of the Grinch.

Has it been debunked?

Nope, just discussing random other things.

 

[G Rank Zinogre]

Who's yall's biggest pipe dream fighter? Mine would be Geralt of Rivia

Assuming that the leak is real and my current dream pick, Isaac, is in? Toss up between Klonoa and Arle Nadja.

 

[TerminatorLOL]

For DLC, I could see these, if the leak is true.

• Travis Touchdown
• SpringMan (maybe with SpringTron alt)
• Doomguy
• Rayman

Crash can join as DLC.

True, but to me, even as dlc, it doesn't look possible

The Virginia Bean is getting spicy.

Though I knew the tiger was real before he talked about it.

Not through leaks, but, process of elimination.

 

[Deoxys911]

I saw the trailer for The Grinch for the first time last night, and I must say I don't like his voice at all. The Grinch shouldn't sound just like some average Who, he should sound menacing! He has garlic in his soul, for Seuss's sake! #NotMyGrinch

It's... pretty surreal to not have to worry about justifying this post's relevancy in a Super Smash Bros. thread. What a Wubbulous World.

Welp, that's not surprise. Verge was starting to be rude every moment, and still pushing incienroar. This just lowered his credibity. Has leak been real, he would get laugh at.

 

[Syntherios]

The ultimate pipe dream? Master Chief, though that actually has a better chance of happening now than in any other point in history.

I'm still holding out for it LOL

#Chief4DLC

Easily Moge-ko from Mogeko Castle.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Since some are doing DLC predictions for characters I'll give it a go too.

Bandana Dee
Dixie Kong
Edelgard
Gen 8 Pokemon
Monster Hunter
Rayman
Ribbon Girl (Echo of Spring Man)
Sora
Spring Man
Sylux

So, what’s the situation on the Grinch leak now? I’m at work, so I’ve been out of the loop.

Exactly like the ESRB leak, there's nothing to talk about really anymore. We need a direct to confirm.

 

[Deleted member]

Ok.

 

[CosmicQuark]

Ya know, it's kinda funny. Those saying they can "knock it out in an hour" have had this gone on for 3 days (72 hours) and not one after all that had broken down and used one of those 72 to demonstrate they actually could.

I mean, I guess one person... "tried"?

EDIT: Correction, 5 days (120 hours)

 

[Pakky]

Being perturbed does not hurt your credibility.

Though if he's wrong he will become a LARGE meme.

This is from before the banner leak btw. Idk why he keeps scouring GameFAQs if all they do is hate his guts.

 

[Iridium]

So sorry to be "that guy", but... what exactly did I miss this morning? I've gathered that something happened that points towards team real, but that's about all I've gathered.


Harp Note from Megaman Starforce.

Some people speculated about ACP-PLV taking down a video on something completely unrelated to Smash (work environment) but I didn't really think much of it still.

I'm not taking sides, but this became a thing, so...

 

[Wambo]

One thing I haven't seen anybody bring up yet is that this banner art leaked, right? And it's been about, what? Five days or so? If this new banner artwork exists, and it's out there, how come? And how come there haven't been any announcements for a Nintendo Direct yet? If there isn't a Direct soon, this leak will become less and less valid, unfortunately.

This is a new banner, but it couldn't have gotten out there unless there was/is for sure going to be a Direct soon. So, what's the explanation behind this?

 

[doomedtacox]

So are we all just waiting for Papa's video? I can hardly wait.

Even though Verge comes across as cocky sometimes, I can't blame him for getting upset.


"Who's in the game?"

"Incineroar."

"You're lying."

"No, I'm not."

"LOL he's getting mad because he's wrong."

"Whatever. Just shut up and leave me alone."

"OMG why are you so terrible to your followers!?"

As the leader of Team Fake... We're ****ed

Dude, all morning you've been sharing evidence that favors the leak.

Represent your own side all you want. Just don't purposely misrepresent the opposing side to make things look better for Team Real.

 

[Idon]

Who's yall's biggest pipe dream fighter? Mine would be Geralt of Rivia

Neither human, nor devil.
All bends to his will
Demi-fiend for Smash.

 

[RandomAce]

Wait does this mean there IS a chance for Lycanroc if Incineroar is bait?

Yeah?... if Incineroar is bait, then Incineroar isn’t going to be the Sun and Moon newcomer.

[Nekoo]

I like how people are using that Vergeben screenshot to think he's panicking when there a big "Two week ago" and it was waaay before the banner leak, and it was because people were in full spammage of @ to him.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Papageno posted his video.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Earthworm Jim. Besides having oodles of creativity and the chance to pull him out of limbo, it would be wild to have him finally interact with his old rivals.

Stare into the abyss long enough, and it stares back into you.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Can't say I blame Verge though. The folks on GameFaqs are pretty nasty, he should just leave that board.

The banner could’ve been sent out to be used as a reference sheet for printers. You know, to test how the light affects the colors and what not. And if this was essentially the first complete form of it, that would explain the background inconsistencies.

 

[IMainKingKRool]

ultimate pipe dream for me is still final fantasy's gilgamesh, my favorite character from the franchise and he'd have such a weird moveset with all his arms and legendary* weapons

*may or may not be authentic

 

[Senselessbreak]

Are you oblivious to how much **** talk this guy gets on a daily basis? You are looking at a two week old message where he insists Incineroar is coming despite all the doubts, and somehow this decreases his credibilty? Last I checked the Grinch leak wasn't confirmed, nor was Incineroar confirmed to not be in this game, even if hes early DLC. His response was extremely tame and you are overacting due to confirmation bias.

Wait and see what happens. His main Smash sources have been consistent so far, and many others are vouching for Incineroar. Even the single insider (via Papagenos) claiming the Grinch leak is real is saying Incineroar is coming.

 

[Diem]

A note on DLC fighters: Remember what fighters were DLC in Smash 4, not counting veterans.

• Ryu
• Cloud
• Corrin
• Bayonetta

Those are some heavy-hitters (well, except for Corrin, but he's an outlier). And given that we've already got some "blockbuster" characters added to the launch roster (Daisy, Ridley, Simon, K. Rool), I can't see DLC being a step down from that, especially since they have to be purchased separately. They have to be characters people will shell out extra money for, not ones that will get a lukewarm reception from most audiences.

So I find it hard to believe that they'll sell a Pokémon as DLC. They can get away with adding Lucario and Greninja to the roster despite their limited appeal because they're in the regular game with all the other characters, not being sold separately. I don't see Incineroar or Lycanroc being DLC when people are still waiting on contenders from the ballot.

Big names and third parties are more likely for DLC than anything else. Especially since the licensing deals can be handled individually, after all the other licensing deals for the main game and its third parties have been handled.

 

[Opossum]

You know what? I hope he ends up looking like a fool, I don't think he's a very pleasant person

It's almost as if he needs to deal with a bunch of man-children calling him a fraud at every turn. Imagine that.

 

[doomedtacox]

there ya go

Wow perfect timing aha.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Pipe dream means a character unlikely right?

If so then Leon Powalski. I always felt he would fit better then Krystal and Slippy since both Fox and Falco would then have their rivals perfectly rounding out the StarFox roster.

 

[TreeBranch]

there ya go

Nice! I look forward to watching!

 

[Turtlar]

Who's yall's biggest pipe dream fighter? Mine would be Geralt of Rivia

Honestly, I always used to say Geno and Banjo for this question, but that may end up being a reality.

So for characters who have a 0% chance of making it, I would have to say Kerrigan from Starcraft. I absolutely love the Queen of Blades, and it would be great to see her in action.

Plus, the only console port of Starcraft was on the N64, so she technically had some history with Nintendo.

 

[Aerospherology]

bonus points if it uses actual death messages from the game. "Steve was doomed to fall by Ganondorf"

Steve was fireballed by Mario
Steve fell from a high place and fell out of the world
Steve was killed by Geno using magic
Steve was impaled by Bandana Waddle Dee

 

[Starbound]

there ya go

Papageno posted his video.

Its time boys

Genuinely trying not to laugh that the same video gets posted 3 times within a minute, especially when the creator has an active account here.

papagenos has quite the community here.
