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.

If this is real, you have my word I won't brag about being right to ya'll on team fake here. Respect to you all for participating in trying to figure this out, keeping everyone in check and being the ones to do some of the deep digging.

But those insiders?

Real talk if Cleo was the Dragalia Lost DLC rep I’d be down with it

Cleo is best girl don’t @ me
maybe she will get a christmas version with a story that changes my mind, but Hellisanne's story moved her from standard starter bait to top contender

Can I just take Monado so I can cheat my way through life? Sword's strapped to his back most of the time, it might as well be a fashion accessory...
It's useless against humans unless you unlock it's second form too. Might as well be the sickest toy lightsaber out there

They said one of the characters in an AT, and by how they've talked about every other character it only leaves Banjo and MR as possible candidates.

It's an assumption on my part but I'm pretty confident it's MR.

And I haven't read the whole thread so haven't really followed all of the stuff about Stealth.
Is Mystic really legit? I don't want Mach Rider to be the one singled out to be the AT :(

That "leak" that guessed Lucas, thank god I did not want to deal people actually debating that.

A little off track but something nobody seems to report on that I think needs talking.

The wendy’s college trailer thing, the newer build footage seems to be higher saturation, it looks like they fixed the complaints of “The colors are too washed out”
Could this be right or is it more of an off screen color boost? Even the background of the stage looks more colorfulView attachment 173465
I believe this has been explained. The footage they had was from outdoors on an overcast day, so they used video editing to up the saturation artificially.

Are you telling me I don't get the powers of plot convenience? I'll just use Monado Cash which floods my bank account with money and then I'm all set. Also Shulk and the other peoples of Bionis are homs, so it might be able to damage people.

He said that the banner leak is fake because one of the characters is actually an assist trophy
I must've missed it; I only remember him saying the banner itself is fake, and that most of his sources couldn't completely confirm or disconfirm it, as they all just said something about it was "odd," and even then, the banner being fake was based on his observation; "after scrutiny."

Mach Rider or Shadow would be the most-likely, though, and Shadow less-so if Jon from GameXplain does know about him.

So what are people's bets on when the next Direct is, and is it a general direct or a Smash direct?

Honestly, I wouldn't take everything these insiders say to heart. Maybe Mach Rider won't get revealed, or deconfirmed. Maybe he gets in as a playable character. I think perhaps you're better off supporting your favorite characters without worry (at least, I would want to as well). Don't put too much trust into them, really.

New theory: Nintendos was bumped up a day because it has a visible cat in one of the screenshots and Nintendo wanted to try and ease the internet because... The leak is real!

/s obviously

Nobody should put too much investment in speculative content.
Why?

For me the leak is real, but we will see more characters than the ones in the banner.

And people will start saying that "the leak was fake!"

Just think about it.

On one hand, National Cat Day beckons to put up a post about a cat, so they put up the stage with the cat in it.

On the other hand, Mewtwo. I consider it a warped feline, shaddap.

Blog Theory 2: Back with a Vengeance
If they only post 1 stage a week, they need a direct this week to announce 5 remaining stages since we would have 5 posts left.

Blog Theory 3: This Time It's Purr-sonal
They only posted the stage today because they're going to be announcing something tomorrow.

Okay, so the Nintendogs stage got uploaded on the Japanese side of the site after all. Like I said, unpredictable.

New theory: Nintendos was bumped up a day because it has a visible cat in one of the screenshots and Nintendo wanted to try and ease the internet because... The leak is real!

Okay, but how does the dog factor into this?

This is probably the only time I can get away with posting this image before launch.

...unless the leak gets busted
