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 found XC2 fun to play, and while yes it's "anime", the characters were compelling enough for you to stay and by the end you love it.

Although, Torna the Golden Country fixes a lot of the complaints for XC2 when it comes to gameplay, "anime", etc. I'd reccomend it for anyone who wants Xenoblade on the Switch but don't want to deal with fanservice, gacha, Rex's voice acting, etc. since it can be played as a standalone title.

Well, guess I'll know not to bring up Xenoblade on here again, or get crucified because I like something that everyone else doesn't.

>All this hate for XC2 because "too much fanservice!"

Be me, and just don't mind the goddamn fanservice that XC2 have. it still have good story even if it have no fanservice in the story. THat's how I managed to finish the XC2.

once i got to the nopon is where i decided to drop the series
that was genuinely uncomfortable moment, and not like a horror game or something like spec ops the line
it was just nasty
Dude, You know that you can just ignore Nopon's pervertiness ****? That's what I do, and I don't find it too nasty. just your normal anime's perverts in it's moments.

Are these two guys supposed to be terrible at the game? Is that the joke here with this segment?

Just how anime it was. The heavy amount of fanservice and waifu culture.
Granted I only saw the cover and a few screenshots, do idek



also the gameplay, characters, plot, technical performance, rex, and really everything but the music, but in this case how anime it is. i also liked the star ocean game i played.
- Hates anime and waifu culture
- Has a Persona 5 avatar

As someone who loves both games, persona 5 is just as guilty if not more so of both.

Also the interactions between Addam and Mythra are less uncomfortable and more real and organic than Rex and Pythra's, plus the rework of the combat feels both more like original Xenoblade while also being it's own thing with the quick switching in battle. Much, much less fanservice, no blade system or merc missions, the item collect points are labelled so you know what you're collecting, Lora, and really great music really put Golden Country at a high standard. If it was longer it would be complete but like still worth getting standalone.

I swear on my life there is no non smash topic I have seen rehashed in literally thousands of pages of this chat than whether or not XC2 is a good game. I have no explanation whatsoever for why this is.

That being said uhhhh yeah I don't know the game doesn't really look up my alley. The character designs are kinda... eughh... imo

Has any gameplay for Peach surfaced as of yet? I tried looking for some a little earlier, but I couldn't find any. I know Treehouse showed off Daisy for a little bit, and while that's good to see, I want to see more of how Peach's animations might have changed since Smash 4. I am happy that Peach in general has been nicely buffed, being faster, jumping higher, and having less endlag on a good number of attacks, plus her Turnip having the same bouncy property as Yoshi's Egg is really nice.

I'm kinda considering her new Gold Alt color for whenever I play as her, as it looks quite nice. Not sure if I'll make it my go-to color, as the black-and-yellow one she has is quite sleek, but it does make a great first impression.

Whatever you will put up to argue that will also apply to my boi as well...
Mate, you gotta stop inserting Yoshi into every single solitary thing.

Can I not just think Kirby's cute? Does it have to relate to Yoshi in some way? I never said Kirby's cute and Yoshi isn't.
Sure, I do think Kirby's cuter than Yoshi but 1. I never said Yoshi wasn't cute and 2. it's all subjective anyway.
Can I not just make a statement?

I saw it and it's pretty but it should be pink gold instead.

Drop the lolicon/pedophilia argument. It's completely off-topic. Speaking of off-topic, please get back to talking about Smash Ultimate, not other games.

If it makes you feel better, know that there are just as many if not more people outside of this thread that love the game. Heck, I was obsessed with it for several months.

It definitely helped in bringing new people to the series.

Just as an example, the subreddit was at 11k subscribers for the longest time before XC2 came out and now it's nearly at 37k

Completley unrelated to XB2, but damn the end of that video.

Didn't exactly work out too well huh...
Here's how it really ended:


Pretty sure DLC is going to be all third party so RIP them. My current guess is:
  • Sora
  • KOS-MOS/Lloyd Irving
  • Monster Hunter/Phoenix Wright
  • Steve/Banjo & Kazooie
  • Bethesda Rep (Doom Guy/Dovahkin/Pip Boy) or Sega Rep (Tails/Joker/Yu Narukami/Flynn) or Katalina
What if the singer of Lifelight is Skye Bennett?

I did that because you made that statement as a response to me and that other guy...

Oh my goodness me, are you seriously trying to say that Kirby's cute, and Rottytops isn't? You must be banned.
