Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Shroob]

I have joined the Church of Noipoi, how could I not?

 

[AugustusB]

One character from the Banner 7 is in the game. The other 6 aren't.

You get to choose.

Who are you going to pick?

Personally, it's Banjo-Kazooie for me. That game was my absolute favourite when I was a kid and I played it on repeat.

Banjo & Kazooie. Hands down. They would be home for a bit. I would feel awful for Geno though....

 

[Darkmoone1]

You know, I think at the end of this direct we're gonna get one more character roster video to show who's in the game (Just like the beginning of the E3 direct). Only this time it will include all of the new announced characters with the final banner.

 

[Royalty1702]

If they bring trophies back, I hope they'll also bring back Coin Launcher from Brawl.

 

[paper roxy]

realizes that whether i believe mystic or the grinch i still have the power of god and geno on my side

 

[NextChannelGames]

If Banjo was really coming... What happens if we get Master Chief as a Trophy only?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

What the hell is a Junko

A trash character from a game

No but really, the main antagonist if thr game Danganronpa

 

[Confirmation]

If Banjo was really coming... What happens if we get Master Chief as a Trophy only?

What did it cost?

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Hey y'all I made something real quick to make the wait worse, hope you stare at it forever until the direct happens

Totally worth it

The salt is rising

Geno, I played SMRPG to completion back in the day, since then, I thought he was an interesting character imo and I have been wanting him for so many years.

 

[Grippy_Toad]

I'm keeping tabs on Jon. He's the one that "predicted" all that crazy stuff in September.

- Story mode against main villains that have kidnapped the heroes, CGI cutscenes.
- A new Pokémon fighter.
- Chibi-Robo.
- A Tetris stage.
- Viridi as Palutena echo.
- Tropical Freeze stage (Saw Mill Thrill).
- Online seasons with franchises. Splatfests almost, like "Mario vs. Zelda" and characters earn points for their franchise.
- 100% on Ken being an echo.
- Doesn't think Isaac is relevant enough to be a fighter, especially after being cut from an AT.
- Master Hand will speak, and have dialogue, during Classic and Spirits modes. Specifies hand puns.
- Rayman and Klonoa are ATs.
- We'll learn about DLC, but no DLC characters shown off in this Direct.
- No new Xenoblade characters, but a Skell will be an item to jump in and attack enemies.
- Says Geno and Banjo won't be in the base game, but are likely for DLC.

We'll see, Jon.

 

[Zinith]

Can someone show me where Noipoi's new poster is?

 

[Dcas]

So I see that the Gamexplain preview is out, can't watch it at the moment but anyone know what Jon says?

No Shadow
No Geno (dlc)
No Banjo (dlc)
No Chorus Kid
No Isaac
Yes Ken
Yes inceneroar
Yes Chibi robo

 

[Nimbostratus]

Personally, it's Banjo-Kazooie for me. That game was my absolute favourite when I was a kid and I played it on repeat.

As bad as I'd feel about losing Banjo, I have to with Isaac:

1. I see Banjo having comparatively somewhat better odds as DLC.
2. B&K should play well, but I do think Isaac brings a bit more to the table.
3. Isaac is still a first-party franchise, and I feel like there's just enough of a pulse left in the franchise that Isaac joining Smash could revive it.

Still... I'm sorry, little ones.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Considering they’re both 3rd party characters, possible echo fighters Ken and Shadow would probably get a 2 minute trailer together instead of getting the treatment of other echoes (Richter had his own section of the Belmont trailer, but wasn’t too much time for his, but better than Daisy/Chrom/Dark Samus)

Yep I agree

People are being pessimistic due to insiders and incineroar and that the leak could be fake

 

[Deleted member]

So to keep things interesting, who do you like more in general: or ?

 

[HesIn]

- Viridi as Palutena echo.

After Sakurai basically apologized for so much Kid Icarus Uprising in Sm4sh, I heavily doubt this.

 

[Akg0001]

Maybe there are assist trophies in the real banner. Maybe some assist trophies are unlockable characters if you k.o. them a couple of times (depends on character). Funny way to unlock new fighters isnt it? This way assist trophies can get promoted too later as dlc!

What do you guys think? Personally i dont think this will happen. But would be reeeeeally cool!

 

[Pyra]

- Master Hand will speak, and have dialogue, during Classic and Spirits modes. Specifies hand puns.

okay maybe i found the one thing i would be disappointed by if it didn't happen

Gotta be Banjo for me too dawg. Isaac almost edges him out, but he is technically another sword user..

 

[Deleted member]

Never thought I'd be using a gif from the Flinstones movie, but. Here we are.

Why did you have a gif from the Flintstones movie ready at hand?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

If Jon really knows something and that's what we're getting to wrap up the ''Ultimate" and ''Special" Smash game.

Sakurai failed his final reveals.

>Bringing up relevance on a fan favorite like Isaac.

No thank you.

Also is GameXplain still dodging the Grinch Leak?

 

[Zinith]

So to keep things interesting, who do you like more in general: or ?

I like them both equally... which is to say not as much as people would expect me to...

Hmm..... I guess I like a bit more

 

[MainJPW]

- Viridi as Palutena echo.

Viridi is way too short to be a Palutena echo.

 

[EndlessPillows]

Whichever way this Direct goes in regards to characters, I bet $70 that those ResetEra folks as well as certian journalists will be massive jerks about the reaction.

I'll just be here, glad we're getting new info.

That's the unfortunate part. If people think they are smug now, just wait until they are proven right (If they are).

 

[CrunchyCHEEZIT]

A trash character from a game

No but really, the main antagonist if thr game Danganronpa

Interesting.

Looking forward for Gyigas as boss in the Story mode

How about you and your wife go out to a nice pancake breakfast....


Oh....


Oh.

Banjo no question

 

[Radical Bones]

That Shroob is so fricken cute.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh yeah, they haven’t announced trophies yet have they? I would have thought during the castlevania section they would have mentioned “by the way here are trophies of Soma and Trevor” or something. Bit odd they haven’t been show yet.

Viridi as a Palutena echo? How would that work? Their sizes are totally different

 

[Astroworld]

?!?!?

Why does this image appear when I search for "Masahiro Sakurai" on Google?

you’re about 4 years late fam

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

If it ends up fake I think we will see quite a bit of the banner reguardless

Geno
Isaac
Ken
Shadow
Mach rider

Banjo for dlc

 

[StrawHatX]

>Bringing up relevance on a fan favorite like Isaac.

No thank you.

Also is GameXplain still dodging the Grinch Leak?

It’s funny because he actually agreed at first with Derek, and then Andre was like “No Jon.” and then Jon backpeddled and said maybe AT because Golden Sun wasn’t relevant enough.

Because relevancy has always mattered when it comes to Smash Bros. I mean clearly popular characters like Pit and Ice Climbers were added because they sell huge numbers.

And it’s not like Isaac ranked high on the Smash Ballot or anything.

Now does he mean we'll actually hear what characters they are and just no gameplay right? Because if it's that, and Geno and Banjo are DLC, I'm okay with this, even though Isaac should be there.

This is a terrible idea. All the Waluigi love is gonna come back to haunt Sakurai over this dumb idea


Please don't hate me for saying this

No Chorus Kid
No Isaac
Yes Ken
Yes inceneroar
Yes Chibi robo

If his prediction is accurate that would be weak af. I was thinking it was realistic to expect at least geno, Isaac, or banjo. Like one of them not none in the base roster. We’ll find out Thursday though

Viridi is already in the background of reset bomb forest.
