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.

Also it should go without saying but I'll say it anyways:

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN THE RISK OF GETTING SPOILED, LEAVE THE THREAD NOW!

Been watching several videos of Smash Ultimate Direct predictions. It is now starting to really click with me that Smash Ultimate base game speculation is ending.

It's been a short, but fun journey speculating hardcore on newcomers for this speculation period. For me personally, it feels immensely bittersweet. Even though I have been getting a streak of unique newcomer predictions right thus far, I don't expect to get all of the remaining unique predictions right.

The truth is going to come to me and hit me so hard in just hours. It is an unbelievable thing to think about.

...

:(

...

Honestly, I feel like tearing up about an era closing. :'(

At the least, I hope my man Sakurai can deliver with this Smash Direct.
In the famous words of Vinesauce Vinny:

"Good"



I'm sorry, but this speculation cycle has ****ing sucked.

I just can't believe the Grinch leak. Just when you think everything has been covered something new keeps on coming up supporting it. It has been a crazy week.
I've noticed the opposite--every time someone tried to debunk it, either that itself was debunked or a plausible explanation popped up. Even with this rumor, doesn't make it true--but it's a trend that made me feel more confident. Still locking in my chances of the Grinch leak at 75%.

Welp, I'm out. I really want to see that juicy leak but I promised I'd keep myself unspoiled for my friend. Curses, no page 6969 unless you guys stop 1 post short by the time I wake up. Oh well.

See you after I watch the direct!

The hour ever draws closer to the inevitable reveal. Will the Grinch get his way of stealing the hype, or has the Grinch, shall we say, been Grinched?

Will we receive the seven fighters we've been waiting for? Or will we receive merely a single street fighter and... cat..?

Will we reach the coveted page 6969 before the Direct deadline?

Have I finally lost it from getting way too deep into this ****?

ALL THIS AND MORE WILL BE REVEALED IN A MERE FEW HOURS IN THIS EXCITING SEASON FINALE OF SMASHVILLE Z!

Oh God, literally the worst time for this to happen. At a point where I could easily go to sleep and be surprised tomorrow, but I also NEED to know. XD Kinda wish they just saved it this time, and let the 7 hours finish.

Well, if we really are going to be spoiled, I'm going to head out of here. Direct is so close now, won't spoil it for me.

I must be hanging out at the right places for speculation, cause I legitimately feel positive and happy about this speculation period, even with the single minded ballot logic that overtook newcomer speculation with Smash fans over time. lol

#NerfDoctorStrange... i'm getting the # rolling just in case :p
(also, nice to see you here brah).

Gosh, you're in a good mood today Idon. :p
Good to be here, mate! After missing so much, I’ve been out of synch with the community. It’s been kinda difficult to jump back in again. I’m trying. I really enjoy you folks.

If you hung out here, it was really ****.


I'm sorry, but, it just wasn't fun. Maybe it's because I've grown 10 years since Brawl, or a good 4~5 since 4's, this speculation cycle has just been dull between Verg, the box, music theory, chair theory, blog theory, theory theory, oh my god **** all these theories. And now Grinch leak spoils all the surprises.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

WTF IS THIS
Now see, you had me at the N64 Classic, but this? There's two problems with how I'm seeing this.

One, even if they're super credible, there's already such a huge divide between the people and insiders. And two, 95% of Directs have never leaked, with the exception of that one with the file directory with the Monster Hunter X Fire Emblem crossover and others.

Unless they're going off of others information like how other insiders have been, I can't help but be cynical when I see this.

Thing is I saw people here consistently predict Nov 1st direct



But this is more interesting I suppose
At the time, people were saying "There will be a direct soon, either this week or next, hoping for this week"

These guys called the date solid, and also WHEN it would be announced by Nintendo.

You've missed quite a ****storm tbh. If you think the box theory was divisive... well... the Grinch leak made it look like an episode of Peppa Pig.

I mean, one of the major ones was last E3, someone leaked the whole presentation a day before (but no one noticed until after). That being said, Smash hasn't outside of E3. Still should be highly skeptical but--oh my, oh my, oh my.
