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.

Yes! This upcoming direct is very very welcome! Here's hoping we learn enough about the game that we can stop speculation on all these "leaks" and start with the pre-enjoyment. Heck, I'm already feeling gleeful!

FINAL Smash direct?

WEEEEEEEEEEEELL, time to become a hermit and stay away from all things smash and/or Nintendo.

Even if I believe the grinch leak, I still don’t want to be spoiled.

Speaking of which, anybody know any good direct links so when I return from work I can watch the direct spoiler free? Or is that something that won’t come until later?

Y'know what, **** it. I'm going all in. I really, REALLY hope that we do get those "leaked characters". I wanna see dreams come true, and if it's 40 minutes? I don't think I'll be able to handle all that.

And you know the craziest thing?

EVEN IF THEY DID LEAK, IT'S STILL UNREAL THAT THESE CHARACTERS ARE IN.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.

This game just isn't real.

YES! I can watch it before work! Now it's all about if the leak is true or not. I'm mostly in the true camp (about 70% convinced it's true) but even if it's not the only character in it I truly care about is Banjo-Kazooie. They have a very strong chance of being DLC if they aren't in the base game anyway.

So there's an even stronger chance that tournament in Japan will be the full version of the game if we're getting this massive info dump.

So, uh, the Direct just so happens to start around the time I'm working.

What's the strat for watching it spoiler free again?
Turn off your phone. If you're on a computer, don't go to any social media site (especially Youtube). Don't go near any gaming stores or stores with electronics that may have gaming.

So...

doesn't the existence of this Direct justify why a random French company had the final banner with all those character? I mean, if they reveal the complete roster this Thursday they would want to start promoting the game all November long, explaining the leak.
I'm calling realsies on this one. Verge didn't even ****ing know about K.Rool, so there's no way the shills know every ****ing character in the game to disprove Grinch leak. Sakurai kept a lid on "Everyone is here!", I doubt he paraded the last 7 around on a flag for all to know.

I said it before, unless a direct was revealed soon, the leak would become less and less legit. And whaddya know, a direct announced like a day or so after I said that, and a 40 minute direct at that? Hmm, looks like more evidence towards Grinch being legit...

Well. I'm going to go ahead and say it, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and will gladly admit it.

I don't think the leak is real. I don't think we're getting 5 unique characters in one direct. People keep saying that 5 characters were shown in a 25 minute direct, but 3 of those characters were echoes. 5 unique characters, completely unrelated to each other so chances of them being revealed in the same trailer are slim. 5 different trailers would be needed. The only other possibility is a Melee or Brawl style trailer where multiple newcomers are shown. But I don't think that's likely. Sorry guys. I think Spirits and online play, as well as other single player modes are going to take up a majority of the direct, and we'll at most get 3 unique newcomers and 2-3 echoes. We'll see.

For people saying they can do reveals quick and then expand on it in the direct, no.
The Treehouse is a NoA only thing, they don't seem to be doing it in Japan.

So what do you want with Ultimate's Online experience?

I really hope they borrow the party mode from Smash, especially if Online works with 32 people. Being able to chat as a big group and play matches rotating between them would be sweet.

40 minutes, lads. Any way you swing it, there's going to be something substantial. To say nothing of the fact that the directs themselves are just great entertainment. The playfulness, the bait-and-switch editing, the CG trailers... Nintendo at their very best.
