Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Is anybody even going to try and guess Party Princess and Aliens? (Aliens is a single character, just to clarify lol)

 

[Deleted member]

Holy **** what if Nintendo gave him like 15 characters and we get 3 ****ing seasons
That actually isn't too unlikely

If i learnt something from my experience as a LEGO buyer, is that companies who succeed understand how positive for them the fan-service is.

 

[Raxxel]

Well, I for one, am looking forward to this meeting from 2016, hopefully coming to fruition next year or sooner.

Damn that is a really good picture. This is 2016? He looks so young here.

 

[Deleted member]

Please don't become another one of those people. I beg of you

I was joking. I'm sorry if I annoyed you, it was completely unintentional.

Who's the guy from the right?

 

[ColietheGoalie]

While i plan to buy Ultimate at launch, i want to share some things that we know about that i don't find as good as the rest of the game.

These don't make the game worse or better, but they still felt strange to me. (Expected, because nothing is perfect).

Here they are:
-Samus keeping the Other M suit.
-Donkey Kong having just generic gorilla sounds again.
-Mario not using Cappy a lot.
-No Ocarina or Twilight skin for Link.
-No new Metroid or DK stage.
-N64 stages not being remade like the Melee ones.
-Alph still as a skin and not a separate fighter.
-Pac-Maze gone.
-The small amount of Final Fantasy stuff.
-Mute City from Melee not returning.


And i think that's about it.
They feel strange to me, but Ultimate isn't worse or better because of these.

Honestly I agree on most of these. Not that they make the game bad, but they're little things that make you go "huh, not how I'd have done it."

 

[osby]

i mean they could always

continue development without sakurai

Not to put the guy on the pedestal, but can they even do that? Afaik, every fighter until now designed by Sakurai.

sakurai would never abandon one of his beloved IPs

But at one point he has to call it a game. It can be after first wave of DLC.

 

[Royalty1702]

Are we talking about marketing?
*WADDLE DEE GANG INTENSIFIES*

 

[Buzzwole]

Honestly at this point I just hope Nintendo knocks our socks off with the first DLC.

I just hope that they end with a bang. As much as I love the base game's newcomers, the reveal order was definitely a bit poorly chosen.
Starting strong and ending strong would be great for the DLC.

 

[Roberk]

I don’t think Nintendo would be that incentivized to pick characters for the fans to “sell more”. I feel like most people would buy the DLC regardless, so Nintendo will focus on using the DLC to point consumers in the direction of Smash Bros -> Other Game, rather than the other way around.

sakurai would never abandon one of his beloved IPs

Imo, it seems like more of an obligation in the sense of “nobody else can do it better”.

 

[ColietheGoalie]

It's not solely on you. Certain people feel that the only way to support a character is to shoehorn them into every conversation, and it honestly is super annoying. I just don't want to see even MORE people go down that path, that's all

 

[Deleted member]

Yes. If Nintendo wanted to make a new Smash Bros. and Sakurai didn't want to do it, they would simply hand the project off to someone else.

As much as I respect Sakurai's talent for game design, Smash would definitely continue without him if he chose to leave it.

EDIT: Sakurai, not "Samurai", stupid autocorrect...

Ah. Okay!

Can I go do that path with waifus?

 

[Pyra]

Honestly at this point I just hope Nintendo knocks our socks off with the first DLC.

"The first DLC Character is Masahiro Sakurai himself. He'll never get a break!"

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly Zoe's my Waifu so I've kinda gone down that path in that sense too XD

 

[FalcoXP]

"The first DLC Character is Masahiro Sakurai himself. He'll never get a break!"

lol I would pay for this!

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Damn that is a really good picture. This is 2016? He looks so young here.

Gotta say, for men in their 40s, all three of them look quite keen.

 

[Roberk]

Can we get Reggie Fils Amie as an Echo fighter?

I feel like Nintendo could pull some fan-demanded picks by showcasing them as a promotion for a new project. Some examples could be:

-Sylux (Prime 4).
-Bandana Dee (A new Kirby project).
-Crash (The new title for 2019).
-Banjo (possible return and N64 mini).
-Rayman (Possible new game).
-Elma (A sequel to X to make up for the difficulties to port the first one to Switch).
-Spyro (Port of Reignited Trilogy).
-A second Ubisoft rep.
-Heihachi (Tekken stuff on Switch)

And so on.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Who's the guy from the right?

That would be Shu Takumi. You may have heard about him from Dino Crisisor Ghost Trick.

But he's best known for being the creator of Phoenix Wright and the Ace Attorney series. Both of which have seen quite a notable deal of support to be included in Smash.

 

[MSmariosonic]

I always thought about Ellen Ripley eventually making it into Smash Brothers

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Why is Sakurai so damn cute

 

[Deleted member]

I prefer Guile's theme in Ultimate over the Street Fighter V version.

It sounds more patriotic.

 

[osby]

Can we get Reggie Fils Amie as an Echo fighter?

Nah, they said no echoes as DLC. Plus, he can do so much stuff Sakurai's body is not ready, he must be unique.

 

[Buzzwole]

I think that at this point, my most realistic hope for DLC is an ARMS rep.

Maybe just to revive a little spark of interest in the series in case Nintendo ever wants to do a sequel. There are SO many great characters, stages, and music tracks they could pull from that game.

 

[Pyra]

Why is Sakurai so damn cute

idunno
he's a good looking dude though

he also ages backwards

 

[Tako Tuesday]

i think you mean Green

According to this upcoming figure

Her name is officially Leaf.

 

[Deleted member]

I am open to any newcomer.

But if i can predict anything, it would be that the picks will be better than the ones that PS All Stars got before cancellation.

And the cancelled DLC for that one was way better.

 

[Bionichute]

yeah thats leaf

the one in the trailer is Green

I wonder if they go with Ribbon Girl, now that Spring Man is an assist. But it would be weird without him.

Hmm... I just don't want ARMS to wait years to get a character in Smash, but an AT for now is better than what most series got, I guess.

 

[Deleted member]

First off: The first indie rep should be Gunvolt and y'all should agree with that unless you can come up with a good reason against it.
Second: This is unrelated to Smash but I'ma post it here anyhoo:

Spoiler: Waifu Chart

 

[Paperchampion23]

Starting strong and ending strong would be great for the DLC.

Good thing is, DLC was pretry consistent, save for Corrin. People's expections just exploded when Cloud was only the 3rd to last character

 

[Deleted member]

How would you feel if we got a Golden Sun rep, but it comes from a new title for Switch?

 

[Buzzwole]

I kind of hope they'd pick someone more interesting than Springman or Ribbon Girl.
Twintelle, Helix, or Master Mummy would be so cool. Honestly, ANYONE would be really cool. That game had such stellar character design.

hey we could get one of the actual main characters, coyle or max brass

 

[TheCJBrine]

Yeah the girl in the new Pokemon Let's Go! trailer looks like Green from the manga.

Her clothes are different from Leaf's.

Though Green and Leaf may be the same person

Ah I see. Have they confirmed that they're separate characters yet? Cause I'm pretty sure they're the same character.

 

[Deleted member]

COME ON GUYS! I came to expect better.
