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.

Regarding the banner, Emily from Resetera just said this a few minutes ago.

She has a (very) shaky history, but she did directly hint at Ultimate's name before E3. Take her words as you will.
So the banner is missing multiple characters apparently? Obviously Incineroar is one, but I'm really not sure who the others would be. Sora was rumored of course, but only at the VGA, which would mean DLC, so I'd assume he's not part of all this yet.

So how many characters announcement everybody guessing? If the Grinch leak is fake, I'm guessing no less than 3 uniques and 2 echoes.

If I had to pick one of the characters from the rumored 8 to end the direct, it’d be Banjo. He would by far be the biggest edition. I can see Geno being somewhere in the middle. Isaac or Incineroar would probably be the opening trailer.

Also, if one of the missing characters on the banner is Sora, he’s blatantly not gonna be there if he’s being revealed at the VGAs as most likely DLC.

Can you please just cite and quote instead of actually linking the site? I keep telling everyone, but they won't listen to me. I will repeat it again.

Resetera is a very toxic site. Don't even go near it or link it. Instead, just cite the person like this:



I'm not kidding. To be brutally honest, I like the current state of Neogaf.
I don't like that she's talking in plural when she talks about 'assist trophies' XD

But for real, I think we all should also direct our focus to the other pieces of content, the modes.

I really hope we see in depth what Spirits Mode is about, all the rest of the solo modes we haven't seen that aren't Classic or Training Mode, the online and how they've improved over the last game, the rest of the ATs, stages, and items...

Pretty much the same as the last Smash Direct, but covering all loose ends.

Characters are FANTASTIC, but we gotta have the modes and other stuff to back them up, right?

Break the Targets is my most wanted thing out of this Direct, I don't even care if it's just like in Brawl, it's just gotta be there.

Difference is that this is actually fake :p
But are you suuuuuuuuuuuuure? :psycho:
(jk I don't really care if the Grinch Leak is fake or not, all I want is Isaac, ultimately)

Has there been a Direct confirmation? Or is it still just hinting from insiders?

I don't trust her, but she mentions that it is missing MULTIPLE characters.

Sora/Slime and Incineroar?

We still have Assist Trophies to go over, and does anybody really want their faves to become Waluigi 3 and Knuckles? (Waluigi 2 is Ashley) Or in the case of Pokémon, Mimikyu 2.

Wdym other mode?

We will all just look at the CSS and complain that our favorite ain't in.


That's what the game is about right?

You know what? I'm gonna go in expecting Box Theory. That way I'll probably be happily surprised.

Curious Villager Curious Villager You think we should give one hope and prayer for our Professor?
I'm unfortunately not expecting good ol Hershel for the base game but who knows. Maybe Sakurai will tease a few upcoming DLC characters in the direct too like he did with Mewtwo...

As Layton's adopted daughter always says (Flora, not Kat) "Cross your fingers...."

When the direct ends, I'll have 20 minutes to get ready for work.

Welp, we all have to be late sometimes. It was an emergency, you see. Nothing I could do to stop it. A real shame.

Popping in to say, I am inclined to believe the 'Grinch Leak' will be proven fake even though I initially bought into it. Despite that, consider that this is a 40 minute direct, and even if half of that time is dedicated to the 'Spirits' mode, we got 20 minutes for character reveals. So, lay your head on your bed calmly and know that you will get more than we thought was coming before the leak happened.

RIP Page 6666.

Taken from us twice.

You know, if the Grinch leak is proven fake during the Direct, I think I will still be equally amazed.

If the leak was true, I'd be amazed at Sakurai and his team for cramming more characters and content into a Smash game than anyone could have thought was possible.

If the leak is fake, I'll be amazed at how the leaker fooled so many of us (me included) and I would just,.. take my hat off in appreciation.

Anyway, I'm hyped for the Direct. Bring it on!!

Real talk here, I'd be happy if Zoe were to be an ASSIST TROPHY. Just as long as they also included a stage and at least 8 trophies (those being the Main Characters)
