Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Dukeofdeath5]

The salt from Steve and the Granblue character are going to be delicious. After recent developments these are totally choices Sakurai would make. At least Sora will be awesome

Reaction to Katalina - WTF A MOBILE CHARACTER FROM A JAPANESE ONLY GAME! ANOTHER GENERIC ANIME SWORDSMAN AS WELL WTF! AND THEY SAID GENO AND ISAAC WERE OBSCURE. WHERE THE **** ARE MY PLAYABLE ISAAC AND GENO SAKURAI!

Reaction to Steve - WHERE THE **** IS BANJO?

I'll still never understand why you people enjoy the salt of others

 

[Shroob]

Thanks for the hate all. I should have know better than to express my disappointment. Clearly my opinion is incorrect.

I think most people are just blown back by how overdramatic you're being over optional content in a video game, frankly.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

In all honesty, I would freaking die to voice act in Smash Ultimate lol
Wonder where they hold auditions for Nintendo Games in general.

 

[Wyoming]

So we've all seen what certain characters would do in their last moments before being devoured in the light and it's a really great show of personality.

So I've been thinking:
If your most wanted character/main was in that scene, what would they do in their last moments when put in that situation, and how would they inevitably bite the dust?

Phoenix would **** himself and just combust immediately.

 

[Deleted member]

You're implying most Smash fans are actually intelligent enough to NOT think she's from Fire Emblem.

Doesn't she have ice powers or something? I'd imagine the reaction would just be "why does Fire Emblem have ice powers?"

Boshi - Throws an innocent character (probably Pichu) to save himself, only to get caught immediately after

 

[SvartWolf]

watching the japanese stream.... boy those japanese younglings really do love cloud ... 8 players, 1 ness, 1 inkling, 1 kirby, 5 clouds XD

 

[kylexv]

Wow these kids love Cloud, don't they lol

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Well, Chrom is confirmed to be in Robin’s Final Smash. Assist Trophies promoting to Playable seems a little more likely now.

On the subject of AT promoted to playable

Sakurai stated the DLCs were decided at the begging of development, as in they selected which DLCs they'd use alongside which characters got AT status

At the very least in this round of DLC, no AT's are getting promoted

 

[Deleted member]

Match 2 of the Smash tournament and 3 out of 4 are Cloud.

"Oh boy, I can't wait to see some new gameplay!"

*match one has two Clouds*
*match two has three Clouds*

 

[ZephyrZ]

Thanks for the hate all. I should have know better than to express my disappointment. Clearly my opinion is incorrect.

I'm not trying to tell you what to like or not like, I'm just saying it's a bit overdramatic to say that a few additional characters you don't like makes the entire roster somehow worth less overall.

You might need to go cool your head a little if it upsets you that much.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

We found out who sung Lifelight!
https://nintendosoup.com/the-singer-of-smash-bros-ultimates-lifelight-sung-the-kirby-anime-song/

I still love that Smash technically now has an anime theme song

 

[Robertman2]

Guts+3. Charm+1

nah all stats go up +3

 

[92MilesPrower]

I think Spirits may be disconfirms as well.

Not quite. Wii Fit Trainer in the Tree pose, and Kirby in his Planet Robobot mech are spirits, yet they’re clearly playable.

 

[RandomAce]

The game didn’t release yet and we are already developing a ****ty meta.

Are we back in Smash 4 times?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Honestly not sure if i should do a cover of it...Kinda nervous too because my singing and general voice sucks.

Why are we saying "this round" of DLC, as if there's gonna be another season?
There's not.

 

[Deleted member]

Nah, it's just that kids really like Cloud is all.

 

[doomedtacox]

Thanks for the hate all. I should have know better than to express my disappointment. Clearly my opinion is incorrect.

I just can't imagine hating a character that much and I don't think I ever will. I don't think it's even healthy to live in that sort of mindset.

 

[Idon]

opinion is incorrect.

Not incorrect.
Unpopular and emotional.

Combine those two together and you paint a large target on your back.
For what it's worth though, I appreciate the discourse.

 

[Sigran101]

Didn't mean to sound overdramatic. just trying to articulate my thoughts properly. I have trouble getting across my thoughts a lot. My point is basically just that smash bros. is becoming something I don't like anymore and it makes me sad. But jeez people are mean about it.

Yep. This might happen if there’s a Second DLC Wave and after Sakurai takes a long, deserving break.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

I wasn't here when the direct was watched live but there's this user who treated Box backers as he would satan. He had a vlad the impaler avatar, I think he may have been a fairly frequent user. Anybody knows how he's doing? I imagine not okay

 

[TheoreticalMyth]

Until verge himself, not some other leaker, comes out and says that yes, the granblue character is in, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Steve (sadly) is looking more likely, but it makes sense in a way. Everything is so wild at the moment, it will take a week or 2 for information to calm down and be reliable, in my opinion.

 

[N3ON]

Smash is on a very dangerous path right now. I've never been mad at a reveal before. Disappointed, sure. But every character so far has been a worthy inclusion in some way, and for many people a dream come true. Until piranha plant. Being a smash bros character means nothing now. There's no requirement. There's no status needed. Smash characters can just be whatever now and it doesn't matter. Pirahna plant is a blemish on the roster and I would rather get no freebie than have this character. It legitimately ruins the roster somewhat for me. Now we may be getting a third party mobile game character. What a truly ****ty idea. It's basically the equivalent of getting a clash of clans character. And steve. I have nothing against minecraft. I like minecraft. But steve is just a knockoff lego man with practically no animations. Another garbage character. And the square nix character may just be ****ing slime. Generic enemy number 2. This is a ****ing ****show if it's true. It doesn't mean anything now. This may be my last smash game. I love the whole base roster. I think I'll keep it untarnished by avoiding the dlc and then stay away from smash in the future if Verg is right. It makes me incredibly sad because smash has always been one of my favorite series. But if this is the kind of content we have to look forward to then I'm out.

Fwiw, the parts of this that are objective... aren't wrong. Other than maybe the first sentence.

That said, if the thing that's ruining Smash for you is optional content, just don't indulge in it. Anything else that comes our way this time will also be optional content. And as for the next Smash, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

 

[NineS]

"Porn girl"


Completely covered head to toe in plate armor



:Thunking:


Just because something's anime-inspired doesn't make it porn, Lucina

If it was, I think over 90% of the roster could classify as porn. Lucina included.

You're implying most Smash fans are actually intelligent enough to NOT think she's from Fire Emblem.

The sad part is that you're right, and most of them immediately assume any anime character that isn't Isaac or Goku is Fire Emblem. If not, then they'll assume Xenoblade because it's anime-looking.

Probably just as humiliated as I felt when the box theory came true.

Until verge himself, not some other leaker, comes out and says that yes, the granblue character is in, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Steve (sadly) is looking more likely, but it makes sense in a way. Everything is so wild at the moment, it will take a week or 2 for information to calm down and be reliable, in my opinion.

Dude, Verge saying that Hitagi is trustworthy is the same as him saying the Granblue character is in.

Actually I'm doing great

"Maya, you know I'm just a lawyer right? What exactly did you expect me to do?"

 

[Untouch]

Bayo's "weak" Final Smash is still a full screen witch time.
RIP any potential of FS meter in competitive.

 

[Erureido]

Who is everyone's top 5 most wanted for DLC?

Mine are:
-Steve
-Sora
-Banjo
-Teemo
-Waluigi

1. Professor Layton
2. Gallade
3. Bandana Dee
4. Tetra
5. Lora & Jin

3/5 of these choices are pretty unlikely, but I'm rooting for them nonetheless.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

OH HEY, you changed your avatar so I didn't recognize ya

good to hear

But if this is the kind of content we have to look forward to then I'm out.

The notion that a character has "to earn it" or "deserve it" is such a confusing and silly notion to me. What does that even mean? These are fictional pixel people on a screen, they cannot "earn" or "deserve" anything.

Being a Smash character means nothing now? Really? What did it mean before? It's just a playable character in a video game, it's not some coveted status. If all of Smash's characters need to be industry big shots to get in, then I guess say goodbye to anyone who ain't affiliated with Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon.

Like it or not, Steve meets all the requirements of these silly fan rules that this fan base likes to keep insisting are fact when they really, really are not, but to humor them for a second:

Icon status: Minecraft is one of the most successful video games of all time, and is huge with many, many children. You're kidding yourself if you think Steve and Minecraft aren't household names.

Move set potential: Plenty. Stage control, projectiles, weapons, crafting mechanics, summons, you name it, Steve can do it. What makes him such an interesting choice is that his potential is nearly limitless thanks to the game he comes from.

Fan demand: There are plenty who would be thrilled by Steve if you go outside the tiny echo chamber bubble that is this fan base.

And to touch on Piranha Plant, not liking it is fine, but really? You're gonna let one character ruin Smash for you? I'm sorry, but if that's all it takes to ruin Smash for you, you probably weren't all that interested before. Your comments about "anyone can get in now" are correct...because that's always been the case, especially with first party characters. There have never been any special rules about who does and doesn't qualify. Y'wanna know what the only rule is? It's this:

Do Nintendo and Sakurai want to do it? Yes? Then done. It's as simple as that.

 

[Just a random scrub]

Thanks for the hate all. I should have know better than to express my disappointment. Clearly my opinion is incorrect.

Is it possible to like something an infinite amount of times? I feel you completely. These guys are doing exactly what they're telling us not to do by hopping on our ***** because something we said didn't strike their fancy.

Evidently, it's okay to express extreme hatred if it's in response to someone not liking ****.

 

[Royalty1702]

My DLC wishlist:

Character/Stage/Song:

Bandana Waddle Dee/Megaton Punch Arena/The Apple Juice Song
Geno/Forest Maze/(Insert cool SMRPG track here)
Primid/Subspace/(Insert cool Subspace track here)
Steve/Overworld/C418 or Banjo/(I have nothing)/(I have nothing)
Dante/(I have nothing)/(I have nothing)

 

[TheoreticalMyth]

Dude, Verge saying that Hitagi is trustworthy is the same as him saying the Granblue character is in.

He did the same thing with people who were leaking gen 7 pokemon reps, along with Ken. The information is new, and if more people confirm it and he feels safer in judgement, I will become less suspicious.

 

[Guynamednelson]

The game didn’t release yet and we are already developing a ****ty meta.

Are we back in Smash 4 times?

Cloud is meant to be an easy character, and he's just popular in general, there'll be plenty of him regardless of whether or not he's SS tier.

 

[Nekoo]

watching the japanese stream.... boy those japanese younglings really do love cloud ... 8 players, 1 ness, 1 inkling, 1 kirby, 5 clouds XD

My man, y'all underestimating how Cloud is famous sometimes, or rather forget about it

 

[RandomAce]

The victory them that plays is actually a remix of Smash 4’s theme.

Neat.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I'll say this about Piranha Plant, he took most of the hate for my boi Incineroar, so I'm fine with that,
That being said he looks fun, and I like joke characters.
And for those saying he's not worthy, I technically wouldn't say Jigglypuff out of all of the original 151 Pokemon is a Nintendo all star either...
