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.

Seeing people on r/smashbros saying "Geno will be DLC btw" like it's an obvious fact is just...it's a feeling.
How blissfully they live.
It pains me to say this but they’re likely going to end up like the Wolf supporters at the end of Smash 4 DLC; saltier than the Dead Sea.

I never really felt like that going from Brawl to Smash 4 (of course, I don’t speak for everyone else) but this time it does feel like Smash 4 really was an inferior game compared to Ultimate, I mean that’s pretty obvious though.
Going from slow moon gravity Brawl with an adventure mode people didn't seem to like and tripping, most people I saw were eagerly awaiting Smash 4 as an improvement. Of course now we're going to Ultimate with everyone back and an adventure mode people were missing in Smash 4 and are eagerly awaiting it as an improvement.

At this point the hate for Smash 4 is so strong you'd want them to retcon it out of the series and make Ultimate the actual Smash 4.
I don't think anyone hates Smash 4 (outside of Melee elitists). It just didn't add much to the series outside of characters, items, and stages. Its core is excellent, but it lacks the flair or personality the other games had. No one wrote home about the additional modes, the soundtrack, or certain elements of the art like logo and UI.

I actually think Smash 4 has a better art style than Ultimate in terms of lighting and colors. It's the one major thing about Ultimate that I consider inferior.

Brawl is a fantastic game, but it is a **** competitive one.
For me, felt like it was a chore since all the focus was on the story mode. Still haven't gotten all the stickers and online was hyper trash. Also a good reminder that Midna is sticking to AT for the rest of the series, so I remember it as my first "disappointment."

I don't know what threads you're looking at but they've been by far the most pessimistic in regards to DLC, especially given recent news.

I didn’t mind Brawl’s competitive flaws besides the tripping but different strokes for different folks.

I can't wait till Smash Ultimate is trash.

Some new character is the Bayonetta/Meta Knight/Fox/Pikachu that is the bane of the competitive scene.

And the next game is going to be the best.

And then it's not upon release and such and such character needs a nerf.

Like history truly does repeat itself.

About classic mode, what if at the end, before the final sequence with Master Hand/Core/wathever this game will have, each character has a different boss to fight that's from their respective series/company (in case of third party)?
In some cases it can be a fighter from the roster (Mario meets Bowser), in some other cases maybe it's an assist trophy (Megaman meets Wily), but in other cases it might be a fully original boss too (Metaknight meets Galacta Knight).

It would be cool IMO

The space between what you say and what you mean
Another thing that Smash 4 had going for it was a return to a much more vibrant, cartoony art style, which was very much needed after Brawl's dark and dull "gritty" visuals.

It was like finally retiring your cringey emogothic teenage clothes. You still don't know who you are, but you know that you don't want to be that guy.

A good few of us Wolf supporters did consider him to be a lock for DLC.
I was SO ****ing confident.

Smash 4 is better simply because it has an online that works, unlike Brawl.

Also Brawl kinda played like garbo

Believe me, I was so confident too. I was even expecting Wolf to show up at the final DLC Direct and then the Witch came in. Needless to say, I learned my mistake after that and kept any expectations as low as possible afterwards.

So what do we get for completing Classic Mode this time since Trophies no longer exist? Do we just get Spirits of the character we completed it with? Has it been confirmed or do we just not get anything but the "satisfaction" of completing classic mode 74 times?

well i mean classic mode looks fun this time, so

there's a mega lucario spirit, which is odd considering lucario is playable. i'm wondering if you get special spirits for completing each one. there probably has to be some reward

PSASBR is now getting a sequel made by Sakurai. What certain details would you like the playable cast of Sony to have?

Ex. in Smash Ultimate's Case:
Nesses specials having graphical references to earthbound
Simon's Whip hits make an NES sound
Ryu facing the opponent in 1v1's

I've been wondering about this. Maybe you get minigames along the way that can give you spirits, music, coins, or mii outfits? That's all I can think of unless they completley overlooked something in the Direct.

If the Square Character is Angés along with the announcement of Bravely Third, I will be overjoyed for two reasons.

1) I love the Bravely Series and can’t wait for the third game teased at the end of Bravely Second

2) We’ll get some of Bravely Default/Second’s AMAZING soundtrack as music in Smash

Maybe spirits of the fighters are super powerful?

Smash 4 was inferior to Brawl from a SP point of view. For anyone who likes Smash for it's SP mode rather than competitive play, Smash 4 was boring and repetitive.

I’m thinking special spirits or, if they don’t do this when you unlock the characters, their picture added to the mural

Think you can make one for Agumon?

Dante has a combo style ranking system like in his games.
You start off with terrible damage, but as you get consecutive hits on your enemies, your style improves until you reach SSS rank where all your moves do crazy amounts of damage and your killmoves kill earlier. Getting hit or stalling too much, will of course, nerf you back down to garbage.

Get skilled or get killed

I think what’s annoys people about no Ballot this time is that now that the veterans are back and out of the way, people had a chance to only vote for newcomers.

Granted, I find this to be a good thing because if there’s a general Ballot sometime in the future then that can mean people could vote for whoever they want regardless of status.

Kratos is re-worked into his God Of War 2018 incarnation, and is now a stance-changing fighter, switching between his Chaos Blades and his Leviathan Axe (which can be thrown and called back at any time, even during Blades mode).

If discarding the axe worked like in GoW he’d have to have a third moveset for fists and shield, but I’d just have it automatically switch him to Blades mode in this scenario.

I hope we get some mii brawler gameplay.
We have plenty of the gunner, but none of brawler (besides a quest one)
