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.

PapaGenos' explanation (Banjo taking over Incineroar on the roster) makes sense for this cluster****. But everyone "in the know" is too adamant about their sources. You video game news industry guys have outdated info. Get over yourselves with that arrogance.

:ultridley: - Omega Ridley
YES, PLEASE. I would KILL to this one to be a reality...

That is why I did this quick painting somw time ago, kinda complicated since Omega Ridley is overdetailed plus the proportions, but just like the Meta one, it can be adjusted. I may someday do that same pose with his actual design and proportions. I have a soft spot for Rids' Omega form despite it being underrated.

Is anyone else getting hidden phishing ads disguised as Google when they first land on Smash boards that take up the whole screen? I click anything on the screen and I get a phishing pop up. Could Smash Boards have been hacked by the grinch or did my phone pick up some e-std out there in the dark web?

Not happening to me.

For more info, he knew about Ridley pre E3 (hinted at it, along with a few other ResetEra mods).

For the September Direct, he called:
- Epic Yarn port specifically on 3ds
- FF ports (literally named every one that was announced AND specified no 8).
- Isabelle announcement tied to a new Animal Crossing.

Would anyone be okay with Popeye eventually making it into Smash once he hits Public Domain due to his history with Nintendo?
I would absolutely love that. Popeye was directly responsible for the Mario series and inspired the concept of power-ups. If one non-video game character deserves to be in Smash, it's definitely him.

So ResetEra mods are in full meltdown mode.

https://instaud.io/2Rhk
They're not in meltdown, that comes from the Spawn-Wave podcast and taken out of context, they started to talk about the leak and basically the whole chat was screaming ITSTRUE like a bunch of childrens and calling out some non-existant tinfoil hat theory about all of the insiders being paid by nintendo, heck, they laugh about it a bit before/after for how stupid that reasoning is, especially since some of them aren't really buddy buddy with Nintendo

i was just waiting with the ninja sex party link all ready, then the universe had to ruin it for us
Don't worry, I posted the Ninja Sex Party video when there were 69 Users and 69 Guests (I think it was on page 2?)
Honestly this makes sense but they still seemed a bit too aggressive with how they handled this so far imo. There must have been a way to do it where they aren't holding a neon sign over their head saying "WE KNOW THINGS"

Even if they are in a situation where they couldn't reveal actual details they knew it still seems the way they went about this has caused more issues than it fixed. Because of how against any kind of discussion they are with it, it has made people suspicious and deduce that they do actually know something. Which becomes its own problem since people now know that they know things and won't talk about it.

Also makes it harder to trust their opinion from now on since what part of future discussions is opinion and the "analysis machine" and what part is "Nintendo gave us info and told us what to say"?
Yeah, Gamexplain's poor conduct has basically ruined their reputation (and the fanbases trust in them) for the time being.

If they had only given the Grinch leak a fair shake, even if they ultimately said they thought it was fake and not just washed their hands of it.

I think Jon knowing things and "making guesses" and apparently getting away with it might have made them overconfident about what they can say, or something.

Crap like this is why I run adblock, even with a Premium membership.

Hush now, if you add context it ruins the narrative idiots are trying to spin.

One problem, his only appearance on a Nintendo console is a DS Spin-off. Connor or Edward have at least had their main games on a Nintendo platform.

The Western side of Pop Star.
I knew it. Dead or Alive characters confirmed.
Nah, there aren't any boobs or women kicking high.

Origin, not a game?
Trash, he is the same.
I mean, it's hardly going to matter anyway, since he won't be in public domain status around the world until the mid-2020s or so.

Just to confirm, I wasn't the only one who'd hang around on the power up screens to listen to the music was I?

Even better, the PSX version is redbook audio, so I can use it as a music CD.

Please if this guy managed to guess Lucas is the blog post tonight, can we not even discuss this "leak", I think I actually will go insane if people actually bring this up as evidence in the case that it happens.
puts kos mos and skull kid there

not even incenroar or sora who make a lot more sense if your gonna say there's extra characters.

I think I'm out of the loop. I just checked his twitter and saw that gif and am clueless. How is exactly that gif of an otter a hint of anything?
He randomly talked about others the day before the September direct was re announced. Which is also the direct he practically leaked himself.

GameXplain has this guy's voice actor's son working for them-



Of course they have inside info. Can that inside info also be partially wrong? Abso-****ing-lutely.

Oh boy! A new thread!

Wait.. How did no one notice this before? Look underneath King Dedede :eek:

Apologies for caps

Getting back to a discussable topic, are there any music tracks that y'all want from previous titles? Personally, I'm rooting for the Cynthia battle theme.

Wouldn’t a direct on the 1st or 2nd make more sense if Nintendo is showing off the release build on the 3rd? Why wouldn’t they just do the direct on the 1st or 2nd instead of next week?

Medievil on Wednesday and a Nintendo Direct on Thursday.


Too much hype if that happens.

Wait wha-?

Popeye is about to become public domain?!?

...not sure how I feel about that...

As for smash, as much as I liked Popeye growing up as a kid, he’s not a game character and shouldn’t be in smash. I can’t budge on that, and I hope sakurai never does either.

I'm willing to apologize, even though I'm still just cautiously optimistic.

No way he would apologize though. Which just makes this seem pretty rude/sad.
The only people who need to apologize are those who harassed them--it's never cool, and they don't need to wait until a Direct as they should apologize immediately. Not those of us having fun speculating (at least when it's fun). But it's that smug arrogance, topped with sweeping generalizations from insiders I don't consider to be a justified reaction, even if I can understand where it's coming from.

Not discrediting that someone can guess the blog posts based on release dates, but if Mother 3 came out April 20th, and today is October 29th, would that give the 4chan leaker anymore credit, or could there have been another way to guess the blog post?
