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.

I've only ever heard of her when my gacha obsessed friend told me a bout a spinoff granblue game featuring her:
She looks ****ING AWESOME.

But hoooooly ****, do I still absolutely hate Gacha games.
I'm conflicted.
Well I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if they included her, just so long as they kept actually annoying or toxic elements of gacha games away from Smash Brothers-
-Oh no. Oh no. Run for the hills.

At least there doesn't seem to be microtransactions, so I suppose it's not so bad.

Man, these leaks are already dehyping me for the DLC. I'm already at the point of wondering if I should even bother with the pass.

I guess I just need to experience the game for myself to hype back up. Or for Vergy to leak Dovahkiin and it be legit.
You can't be dehyped if you were never hyped up to begin with...

Boy, I'm sad. I get I'm a niche audience, but come on, throw me a bone, world.

So Chrono Trigger is NOT iconic? HOW?

Chrono Trigger was a critical and commercial success upon release, and is frequently cited as one of the best video games of all time. Nintendo Power magazine described aspects of Chrono Trigger as revolutionary, including its multiple endings, plot-related sidequests focusing on character development, unique battle system, and detailed graphics. Chrono Trigger was the third best-selling game of 1995, shipping over two million copies by March 2003. The Nintendo DS version sold 790,000 copies by March 2009. Chrono Trigger was also ported to i-mode mobile phones, Virtual Console, the PlayStation Network, iOS devices, Android devices, and Microsoft Windows.

It's the most memorable Square Enix exclusive game of all time.
And just to remember, in Smash Brawl time people REALY wanted him in the game.
You may be right about it being iconic, but it still wouldn't sell well as DLC. It could possibly work in a base-game roster, but not as DLC. The younger, casual audience probably don't know him that well. All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up for him being the SE rep. Sora or a Dragon Quest or another FF character seem much more likely, since they still have games coming out to this day

Question:

So, according to the site, Piranha Plant is coming from a stage and music tracks. Is it possible that the stage+music is not tied to PP itself (what could they add in the way of a Mario stage or Mario music that they don't already have in the game besides a dedicated Bowser's Castle stage?) but is actually the rumored Minecraft content, in the form of a Minecraft stage and Minecraft music to accompany it?

Honestly...
who gives a **** about fan-made porn?
It exists in every genre, and anyone who's been online knows this.
Hell, Nintendo themselves know this when they themselves when they A-OKed Bayonetta.
Rule 34: If it exists, there's porn of it

He points his body up, then falls forwards and planks.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful indeed.

I'm looking forward to all the Planking Memes that'll arise from it. :laugh:

Anyway, I have a question for people.

Between :ultyounglink: and :ulttoonlink:, who do you consider closer to the :ultlink: mold?

If our concern is just that Crono isn't popular enough, just convince one of the leakers to name-drop him and I can promise you he'll be Top 5 choice within a week. ;)
I've been pretty consistently amazed at the power of the bandwagon effect this cycle.

They updated the site to remove that.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

So the creator of Shantae just tweeted this out. So it may be shes not set for the first 5 DLC, but maybe talks are still going on some of them? or this is meant to be for when season 2 happens? Hard to say, but it does point to being a spirit doesn't put one out of the running if they are doing this, as Sakurai would have said otherwise to them when he made her a spirit

With the season pass, people are gonna have to deal with any sort of literal who or anime swordsman they add.
And Katalina, outside of Japan, would probably be that "literal who anime swordsman", but in Japan, the Smash community would be pretty hyped about her inclusion, if she's getting in

Did you watch the Treehouse after the Direct? They showed off his moves then had a match with him.
Yeah, but Treehouse isn't excatly the best at...well, anything.

Also, a lot of kids are out here playing the game on the livestream. How much longer does it have?

Fire Emblem Heroes makes them too much money and now they're putting gacha in literally everything.

Next Smash is free to start and you unlock fighters using gacha you heard it here first

I'm pretty sure he is joking especially with that #

I think they know just about as much about the DLC as we do. I'm taking this as Shantae disconfirmed

I love the effect of being hit by a mine in this game. Time slows down momentarily, then you get blasted.

It's really nice.

Chrono Trigger is more than you think.
Sora and Cloud maybe have more public than Crono.
But Crono has alot more chances than Geno, any Dragon Quest character, and any other Final Fantasy character.
Nostalgia? Crono wins no problem.

You are underestimating Crono ALOT here my friend.
I sugest you do a little research about him.

Okay...I think Matt may have unintentionally confirmed we're getting more than 5.
I mean why the hell would he even be campaigning for her?

:ultyounglink: and it's not even close. :ulttoonlink: is VERY different with his properties and even some of his tilts.

Yeah she's not getting in. Also, what's this about a season two? I feel like there's only going to be five DLC characters for this game, and that's it. No more after that

Seems a little odd to just assume that, given how Nintendo recently said they plan to focus big time on DLC, and pshing DLC for this game for over 2 years seems likely. I doubt they will stop DLC till when the switch is near its end, because that will just keep making money

Same as you. One remedy : put all the game in japanese in the options
Yeah but...
I like everyone else in English.
That's the main issue.

I just wish I could play one game without Yuri Lowenthal in it. Just... please dude... let the other voice actors eat.

It's still just stickers that you can upgrade + event matches on on a map with occasional bosses, when they could have made, you know, an actual adventure mode. The whole spirits thing just sucks when they removed so much from previous games to make a mode with so much useless filler and Stats that gets boring fast.
That's just your opinion...

If you ask me, it looks better than the stuff they removed,
with characters actually being alluded and referenced to in matches looks super fun to me
