Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Dyamanttine]

This is so exciting, we are really close to the destruction of the smash fanbase <3

 

[Pazzo.]

It's probably unneeded, but in the case Grinch is a hoax, remember some of us who didn't advocate for it aren't going to take any pleasure from being "right".

No one wants less characters.

 

[Pyra]

Things I want out of the Direct:

1. Is Isaac Playable, an Assist Trophy or not in the game at all?
2. What is the Mystery mode that we call Spirits?
3. Are there any more surprises in store?

---
"Never ask me for anything ever again."
"もう一度私から何も要求しないで"
"Ne me demande plus jamais rien"
"Non chiedermi mai più niente mai"
"Nunca vuelvas a pedirme nada."
"Fordere nie wieder etwas von mir an"

A lot of these are probably hilariously wrong because I used Google Translate.

I'm interested in finding out how accurate they are, so... open fire, I guess.

Your English is atrocious.

The French one is in singular while the context of the sentence should actually make it plural, like so;

"Ne me demandez plus jamais rien."

Aside from that, Google Translate actually did pretty good here.

"Sakın bir daha benden bir şey istemeyin."

It'd be cool if we turn this into a forum game.

 

[Pyra]

"もう一度私から何も要求しないで"

also I think Sakruai would use 俺様 and not 私

 

[Kensho]

But monkeys aren't done with you.

well then...I ****ing want this

 

[Hollowleggend]

Does anyone have a link to the English Nintendo direct?

https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/11-01-2018/ her you go

 

[Pazzo.]

I would produce receipts to show your memory is faulty, in that I did not advocate a boycott, and to show the context of the whitewashing comment (for users not to hold back criticism of Smash 4 just because fans were dismissing everything but praise as "SALT"), if the social group housing the K. Rool thread at the time were not deleted. But given that you also remember K. Rool fans "calling themselves the KKK" and needed a Jewish user to tell you Nazis were indeed "a thing" before Charlottesville, I don't know that receipts are strictly necessary for that purpose.

"King K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats" have previously been brought up in this thread, seemingly in arguing some fever dream that I'm winking and nodding to users who...will be awakened as sleeper racists because they saw a thread title that no one but (by my count) three bad-faith critics have ever referred to as "the KKK," and only after they started disliking K. Rool fans during or after the ballot. (Which on that note, I stand by that Bayonetta didn't win, but I deeply regret the venom in some of my comments about Sakurai rigging it based on his own biases, when clearly there was more happening behind the scenes).

For those who didn't already know, "Kremling Kuthroats" is an enemy class in Donkey Kong Country 2, widely known as the series' best game. That's literally it. I'd change the title the second users were to come into the thread and post racist content or if K. Rool were to show up on signs at a white nationalist rally. And I'm fully open as well if any K. Rool thread regulars want to PM me and privately tell me the title makes them uncomfortable. But I'm definitely not touching it based solely on a few bad-faith Twitter tirades, ironically hilarious as they may be for attempts to paint fans of a cartoon crocodile as discriminatory based on removing letters from "KKRKK" to fit a narrative.

Enjoy the Direct tomorrow! Guh-huh!

Am colored, can confirm.

 

[Flyboy]

As a Capcom nerd I wouldn't mind if they get more reps - obviously pulling for Phoenix but Jill would.be great! Yet I feel strange about Dante - maybe because of the lack of DMC on a Nintendo platform. He wasn't even in Viewtiful Joe's original release. Still, would be cool.

I feel like we are all sleeping on Roll as a Mega Man echo.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Expectations for Spirits Mode.

Lowest: - Melee Adventure mode (which would still get me hyped)

Pipe dream: - SSE2 with locations that aren't ****ing generic

 

[Porygon2]

Bug/Dark with the Ability Corrosion.

How's that for a happy medium?

Bug/Dark Metroid Prime (Ability: Poison Heal, Hidden Ability: Shields Down) that evolves into Poison/Dark Dark Samus (Ability: Poison Touch, Hidden Ability: Trace) when defeated in battle while holding Phazon Suit.

 

[osby]

Yeah, at 40 minutes the only way they could kill that much time is an in-depth frame by frame look at Bayonetta's nerfs.

Nerfs? Funny. Sakurai was displeased with how everybody complained about Bayonetta won in a casual match so not only that she gained all her buffs before Smash For patches, she's even better than that.

Direct is just Sakurai bodying every other fighter in the roster with her.

maybe the reality is something between Melee and Brawl Adventure mode?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

So, Melee with more cutscenes?

 

[monadoboy]

https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/11-01-2018/ her you go

Anyone has the youtube link? I can't find it, and my internet hates Twitch

Mine

Lowest: Uh... Something minigame-y like Smash Run or (...) Smash Tour.

Pipe Dream: Super Smash Bros.: The Metroidvania (w/ Cutscenes!)

 

[KiBom]

[Kawaki&Boruto98]

yo yo i take it back. dixie can be in smash sheesh

 

[osby]

As long as two franchises aren't randomly cut and bosses aren't Special Smash Mario characters, I'm good.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't forget that we need an actual story.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Anyone has the youtube link? I can't find it, and my internet hates Twitch

It's far from being up yet on YouTube.

 

[Fablemad]

Guys I have this insance theory that I need to share but would make everything piece into place. Check it out:

We know there might be 2 Directs in November. I'm thinking the first is Smash and the other one could be a Pokemon Direct.
So what if the banner was made for the events in between tomorrow and the Pokemon Direct and it's missing Incineroar because he's getting announced there?
Would line up with the "insiders" crying about no Incineroar, right?

What do you all think?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

NO WAY THE THIRD PARTY IS ZOE TRENT IF ER ENDS UP BEING RIGHT

They aren't putting a cartoon character in Smash.

 

[bountyhunta87]

I think the direct is going to open up with character reveal.
I think it'll be a ninja gaiden theme trailer.
I think we're getting Ryu Hayabusa and Impa €.

I back up that claim 100% Ryu teaching the smash ninja posers jk why the call him the Ultimate Super Ninja

 

[Polar Bair]

Could have fooled me with the way people act about it.

 

[Deleted member]

I know but I want her so badly and I could totally provide the entire moveset if Sakurai has no ideas. Like I could write it out for you right now but I won't.

 

[MysticKnives]

But monkeys aren't done with you.

Rise of the Dawn of the Vengeance of the Planet of the Apes.

 

[Robertman2]

Insiders are pointing towards Dante?

 

[KiBom]

Ryu would be amazing because it would open up door for Koei-Tecmo and Monster Rancher representation.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Actually... Check it here: This is the UK Direct, BTW

Probably not. We haven’t gotten characters in specific game directs and that’s not likely to start now

 

[Kensho]

DMC5's producer said he is not in Smash

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Ryu would be amazing because it would open up door for Koei-Tecmo and Monster Rancher representation.

But then there's two Ryus. Confusion ensues.

 

[Cyberfire]

Just wanted to put aside Smash briefly and wish you all a Happy Halloween.

Crazy to think this all began in March and we are now at the end of October, on the brink of finding out the missing pieces!

 

[alemerltoucanet]

This is probably unrelated, but I wanted to wish y'all a happy and safe Halloween! Here's my Curly Brace in a Samus Aran outfit I made for the occasion.

That doesn't make much sense.

The upcoming Pokemon games are Let's Go, a Gen 1 remake, and a new eight generation.

Neither case can really be linked to Incineroar.

I'm not saying it's impossible though, just that I don't see it as likely.
