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.

Dunno about Roy, but definitely Ike.
They took a bit out of his power and massively upped his speed and aerial frame data.
roy didnt receive the buff on his sword. he has a ceiling.

the belmonts look strong. larger characters and slower ones have fun with that. love how a character with axes and chains is a better zoner than a character with a gun arm.

also another note: kirby cannot duck shiek needles.

To be fair, Sakurai only added Lucas because he thought Mother 3 was also releasing outside of Japan.
I mean, yeah, but Granblue's also in complete English and its PS4 game is coming stateside.


Don't get me wrong though, even as a fan of the game, I find the idea ridiculous.

I like the extremely positive responses I've been getting from people...
Confirmed, Zinith is actually a Yoshi that somehow found a computer.

Re: :ultroy:
What's this I hear about Roy being good now?

Did Sakurai make the impossible happen? :laugh:

Are they done with Smash now?

I don't need to be reminded Mario Tennis Aces exists.

Ugh, I'm not even sure what they want Samus to be.
Is she supposed to tank through moves, zone with her ****ty side B and charge neutral B or combo people with fair and uair?

Whichever the case, Simon's giving me For Glory Link flashbacks.
But like, actually designed to be played like that.

It's late now but I'd like to rewatch it tomorrow before football starts.

Tots it's over man the game's done he's deconfirmed you know it let my son rest

I'm overjoyed over the Plant tho lol as a Petey and joke character lover
When we have stuff like this happen, especially with Mewtwo and Lucas back in the Smash 4 days, you really can't say anything is "deconfirmed".

Thanks Noi!!
It is genuinely so beautiful that a RANDOM PIRANHA PLANT is a playable character in one of the biggest crossovers ever.
Wait, it's a random piranha plant? I thought it was the 5th Piranha Plant you encounter in Super Mario Bros, which I always headcannoned as the 2nd in Mario 3 and the 10th one in Mario World...

Didn't Aether get nerfed though?


Dude I was there and not even I know what you're talking about.
Aether always sucked.
Now it sucks in a slightly different way.
Having your sword clip through the stage was useful, but honestly, if Pika or Bayo wanted to gimp you, you were SoL either way. At least with the new one, it could maaaaaybe eat a thunderjolt.

Did anybody else notice the long range Holy Water had when Richter threw it on the Fountain of Dreams? He tossed that boy from one platform to the other, and it was low. It could end up being an impressive edgeguard tool IMO.

So you're biased for Shadow that you think not even Shadow supporters are that sinful?
You clearly seem to see Waluigi and Isaac supporters are scum and/or unfavorable.
Reveal your secrets.
I couldn’t care less about Shadow’s exclusion as a playable character. Let me go back, and edit that post to add Shadow supporters as well.

Must of slipped my mind. I’m a little distracted by how overjoyed I am over Piranha Plant’s inclusion over Waluigi. It tickles me.

Don't lose hope when Geno is still totally possible. I don't even really think he's a Spirit. Otherwise, he would've definitely been shown off in some capacity or at least mentioned.

Eh. Guess I'll look for the inevitable upload tomorrow morning. There's just a lot of **** that comes up when you search for "smash bros ultimate" on Youtube.

OK guys. Bowser Jr may literally be the worst character in Ultimate.

All of his tilts have less range.
Mechakoopa was nerfed.
Up B explosion was nerfed.
Up B Hammer seems faster but has less range.
Can still be gimped after Up B.

WHAT THE ACTUAL **** SAKURAI.

You know, I predicted Bowser Jr. would be the worst months ago, but I was trying to jinx it to get somebody else nerfed.

I'm not sure you understand my hope died long ago
Also that's a very broad assumption, Isaac was thrown in just like any other Assist Trophy for example. If Geno isn't a Spirit him being only a profile image is even worse news.
