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.

It's all subjective. Think about it - if during the Wii U era all the DLC was based on promotions we would have gotten a lineup something like...

Elma, Captain Toad, Bayonetta, Yarn Yoshi, Corrin, Wonder Red

Are you going to tell me that's a bad lineup?
Nope, I think that's better than what we actually got, personally.

It is a subjective thing, I talked about that in my post. I was just sharing personal preference. :)

As in TTYD Vivian? **** that nois

Make her playable instead alongside a TTYD Deluxe so I can finally play that stupid game
You know what, you're totally right



Also I feel really saddened by the lack of art featuring Link and Falcon about to do a midair joust after they had jumped out of their vehicles (you know since Falcon has the Blue Falcon and Link now has the Master Cycle Zero)

Worldwide lol thats not as good as you think
It really depends on the genre and budget.

But yeah, 400'000 is... not that great.

User was warned for this post; double posting(Please edit your messages instead)
Anything new?
I heard youtube is coming to the switch tomorrow, is it legit?

400,000 is an actual abysmal sales number, even for a port
Is the Clover curse.
Any games made by Clover (basicaly Platinum Games when they worked with Capcom) will sell nothing despite how good they are.

Oh snap, was that Green?!



Not an exact match, but Red and "Leaf" have never been a part of the same story outside of the Manga. This is the first thing that's actually got me genuinely interested in Let's go, haha.

I'll just say that people sleep on Rayman a lot. I don't think I need to remind anyone he was the first 3rd Party represented from a company without a playable character with his trophy in Smash 4. Ever since then, Nintendo has been in bed with Ubisoft and they gave birth to Mario+Rabbids and we do have Rabbid Spirits in Ultimate. I'm very confident tha he's likely for DLC, specially if Nintendo made the character list.
besides, this way Sakurai can make him outrange the Belmonts and not have to wait for Springman become relevant for him to fill his reach powercreep fetish

So Sakurai confirmed yesterday that they finalized DLC and also said, in essence, "never ask me anything again."

Am I interpreting his tweets correctly? :p

Yeah, I was just expanding on your point. I thought it was good! Sorry about the confusion.

He also said that Nintendo themselves decided all the DLC this time, and people are taking that to mean the decisions will be more corporate and promotional.

"Oh god what did they do to you, Lance?"
*Sees Giovanni*
"OOOOOH HELLO DAD"
*sees Blue*
"Really don't--"
*Red*
"OH MY--
*Leaf appearing outside of a playable character*
*With her manga design*

400'000 sales is a sales figure you'd expect of an indie game.

Sakurai has selected who he's going to make, and essentially told fans that after this point feedback won't do anything until that batch of DLC is finished (which won't be until around February 2020).

No "never ask me for anything again", it's more "asking me now won't do anything".

And here I am, hoping this news will finally be enough to get people to take the Champions more seriously.

I could be wrong, but I have this innate feeling that we didn't get a Zelda newcomer on the base roster because Nintendo penciled in one for DLC. Won't deny that it's nothing more than me trying to rationalize why a character I want could get in, but I think most people can agree that Nintendo promoting BotW isn't too outlandish.
Having Mipha, Urbosa or Revali would be amazing. But I also find myself wanting Tetra or Fi just as much as well. Yep I'm one of the few who unironically desires Fi as a playable character for DLC.

Ah...oof. Idk if I like the sound of that. Thanks.
What Mega Bidoof said is actually a little misleading (at least in the way he phrased it).

It's more that Nintendo gave Sakurai a shortlist of characters to select from, not that they told him which 5 characters to make.

I don't think that characters aren't ONLY chosen for their advertisement potential. There's bound to be a couple characters on that list that Nintendo just thought would make a good character and Sakurai was like "yeah okay that sounds cool"

definitely not shilling for elma

Can you imagine in fifty years when we're all old and gray and we're on our Moon condo with our grandkids and they just bought an iPad 38 and jailbroke it. And they ask you what they should play on their Nintendo Switch emulator and you say Smash Bros Ultimate and you sit down with your grandkids and kick their butts because you spent the last fifty years playing this epic game.

Then they will just say: "You mean you have to use your hands to play this game... ? That's like a baby's toy!"

Yeah, I cant really picture a future.

I love how pesimistic are we in this era.

Back then, everyone pictured flying cars and a nice future. Now, we cant imagine a future.

Which makes all the sense in the world even more coming from such a close minded company. The good thing now is that i literally expect nothing, now that my favorite characters are deconfirmed there´s really no reason for me to expect something even if they added another FE character, steve, goomba, or whatever they want, im just like "alright".

Jam it up your pee hole!
('tis a Game Grumps joke)

More seriously, considering the.... success of the Kinect and it's games, I don't think controllers are ever going to truly go out of style.

At least until Holodecks become a thing.

I’m hoping Palutena’s Guidance, Snake Codecs, and the Star Fox conversations are all back (even though the latter is down one stage that includes talking)

Was a reference to Back to the Future, but yeah.

Controllers will stay for a long time.

Now that you say that, I get the reference. :laugh:

I need to watch Back to the Future again...

Also, everyone seems dead set on being doom and gloom about the Smash DLC being 100% corporate and promotional, any attempts to inform people that Sakurai had a certain amount of choice in his selection even with Nintendo limiting his options seem to get ignored.
