Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Mc.Rad]

I guess if there is actually one little stupid thing that pushes my opinion towards fake...

It’s that the blue on Mach Rider’s suit is too bright to match with the original and too bright for a lot of Ultimate’s redesigns...

I mean a lot of the game was so dull looking that people complained about it until they raised the vibrantness of the colors. I think that having the gritty biker gal wear something that bright and making the goofy crocodile king like a realistic shade would be a very wild design choice...

But then again this may be stupid and Mach Rider May look like an eyesore

 

[Noipoi]

Ken
Incineroar
Tetris
Maybe Geno and 1 more

that's disappointing, even if the last character is Sora.

Speak for yourself.
That's hype as hell, Tetris block included.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Tetris? Where are you getting that from?

Jon from Gamexplain
He's thinking that there may be a Tetris Stage

 

[staindgrey]

Of note: The Switch has now outsold the GameCube's lifetime sales.

This game might outsell Brawl. It'll definitely outsell Smash 4, but this could be the best-selling Smash of all time, and rightfully so.

It'll definitely outsell Smash For Wii U. Combined, the Wii U and 3DS versions outsold Brawl by over a million copies.

If that's true, Sakurai is truly a madman without equal

Wow I've never even thought of that one before :o

 

[Bladeviper]

Jon thinks that Dragon Quest is represented and Geno isn't on the base roster.
I'm ready for Thursday, make this happen Sakurai.

as long as its an actual character from dq and not something like a slime id be down for that.

 

[The DanMan051]

GDI of course I have to have classes during the Direct. Why couldn't it have been anytime after 3:30 EST.

I'm also anticipating madness when/if Isaac and Geno are shown as ATs.

 

[Diem]

were at 6800. real chance of hitting 6900 by thursday when well for sure see fighter 69

We'll probably reach 6900 by the end of Sunday.

 

[Fane]

Okay, I've had enough.

So much faith being put into the insiders, when they literally all have conflicting info.

Gonna rest on this until the Direct. The amount of flip-flopping and contradictions right now is ridiculous.

 

[Aerospherology]

What if the characters are only Incineroar and Ken tho.

Yeah, "both" characters.

 

[Tinarg]

Jon from Gamexplain

Oh, stage. I thought you guys were saying we were getting Tetris as a playable character somehow.

 

[Hinata]

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.

Isaac, any day. He's in my top 5 most wanted.

 

[SushiRoll]

So, this is what the Smash community has devolved into now, huh?

Dear god.

It's better than that awful back and forth from the last several days.

 

[Polan]

wait is sora being rumoured by insiders? someone fill me in.

You know, I never noticed before, but the Grinch has good birthing hips.

cursed post

Andre mentioned a playable Tetris block..

 

[mjmannella]

What if the characters are only Incineroar and Ken tho.

I get my most wanted newcomer and implode from the resulting happiness.

 

[xAquaCrystal]

They're 50/50 on shadow, though more of them believe he's in? Since they think it doesn't make sense for them to hold him back for so long, only to put him as an AT again with Knuckles

Thanks for answering and yeah those are my exact thoughts too. Shadow’s AT should of had been shown along with the Knuckles AT..

So much doubt for my girl Mach Rider. Brings a tear to my eye

[RandomAce]

Didnt Jon “predict” Shadow a few weeks ago?

I mean, a couple of 100s people here did too. And a lot outside in the wide area of the internet.

Alot of people were pegging Shadow.

Cmon people, only 169 more pages to go!

 

[Fenriraga]

The game was good. I played it. I enjoyed it. I'm not anti-Geno at all. But I'm also a realist, and outside of the Smash fandom's echo chamber, Geno's not well known by any stretch of the imagination. If you mean "Nintendo-centric" as in a Square owned property guest starring in a Nintendo IP? Yeah, he has no competition because that rarely happens. Square games that were Nintendo-centric? Like half of their hits were exclusively on the SNES. Pick one.

Geno fans: Embrace your underdog role instead of trying to convince people you're actually the favorite.

It's really not an underdog role at this point, though.

I don't see another Square rep with a Mii Costume... Besides Chocobo, anyway. If the demand was inside an "echo chamber", that wouldn't have happened, and Sakurai would not have acknowledged he was popular in the ballot, something he has not said about ANY other character besides K. Rool. Was K. Rool an Underdog? Was Daisy? You know, the girl who never even got an AT and got in after Rosalina, a character who barely even appeared in Spin Offs until the 3DS era?
Cripes, I'm not saying he's remotely close to Sonic or Megaman tier, I'm literally just telling you the "echo chamber" is an absurd notion that literally has evidence otherwise.

Well, we havent seen the 8-bits Era character yet, so...

It's flip flopping faster than Big Show flip flopping between turning heel and face


Lord help us all

I've decided to stop caring about Insiders. We'll know what's up in a day, it doesn't matter that much anymore.

Uh... Gross

What if the characters are only Incineroar and Ken tho.

I'd still be satisfied as both are among my most wanted

If that's true, Sakurai is truly a madman without equal

So let me get this straight. GameXplain refuses to talk about one of the biggest Smash leaks of all time aside from dismissing it due to "lol too blurry", yet they have no problem making up their own predictions where they think a Tetris block, of all things, will be playable? Yep. It's undeniable at this point. Nintendo has them tightly held by the chains.

 

[staindgrey]

I get my most wanted newcomer and implode from the resulting happiness.

Yeah, I'm excited for Ken too.

 

[paper roxy]

I don’t even like Isaac but relevancy is a weak argument against anyone

Ice Climbers are the definition of irrelevant
Mr Game & Watch, too
Ness arguably wouldn’t even really be remembered if it wasn’t for Smash
Etc

ness would still be remembered but earthbound would still be as obscure in america as it was when it came out

 

[ChronoKatie]

Any news, guys? Been gone all day at work.

 

[Z25]

Oh, stage. I thought you guys were saying we were getting Tetris as a playable character somehow.

Andre mentioned a playable Tetris block..

And Jon entertained the idea rather then shut it down.

This is also the third time playable Tetris block has come up in their discussions.

 

[Nekoo]

Also I hope he's joking but, someone decided to make a Jiggy joke with Banjo and he answered

Not those type of pieces.

Hopefully it means nothing-

I hope.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

The resetera "putting the piece together" ZhugeEX hint may be referring to this post

So if we put the pieces together we may end up with something like:

Incineroar and Ken are in.
Shadow and Isaac are back as ATs.
Mach Rider and Chorus Kids are normal trophies.
Banjo is not in the game.
Geno ???
A surprise character, maybe even two. One could be from a third party (SE?).

Tetris stage would suck.

A Dr. Mario stage would do the concept better.

Mach Rider is a Wario echo

Any news, guys? Been gone all day at work.

I don't think so. Just speculation and rumors and stuff. Nothing concrete that I know of

 

[Nekoo]

The resetera "putting the piece together" ZhugeEX hint may be referring to this post

Oh ****.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Oh boy...ZhugeEX himself commented on the ResetERA thread

For people who will asks, ZhugeEX is a VERY reliable industry analyst when it comes to sales, and all of that economical stuff more...Important stuff who happens to have tons of **** right by sometimes teasing things-


Supposedly, it seems that people at ResetERA are gettig close to the truth with their speculation?

Based on this, the recommendation coming from there is to keep your expectations dangling above rock bottom.
