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.

But 'sensible' is no fun. Especially asone could argue DBFZ's roster is pretty sensible with like idk 25 characters? I never counted. And that roste has issues beyond 50 million Gokus

But there's a difference between creative or "outside the box" roster making and just nonsensical ideas.

I'm not saying the roster needs to be vanilla, I'm just saying there's no reason to force in completely non-video game/Nintendo characters simply because people like them. Things like MUGEN exist for a reason.

Example: I love Godzilla, like A LOT. Own (I believe) everything film/series/comic he's ever had. But I don't campaign for him in Smash, because I'm fully aware that he has nothing to do with the feel/universe Smash has set up. I don't go "he's been in a ton of games! I should bring him up every 30 seconds and make people love him and maybe they'll add him in Smash!" There are Godzilla fighting games that I have and love, like, you know, all the anime fighting games or cartoon fighting games or Shrek fighting games?

Smash is amazing, but it has a theme, and people harping on about things that have nothing to do with that theme is tiring at best.

Dovahkiin!

Dovahkiin will be the first Smash pack character and they come with a stage named Skyrim and when you pick it your chosen characters are the main characters of Skyrim and you have to beat the entire game or get a game over to leave.

It seems like everyone here is laughing at me for receiving information from a potentially legitimate leaker. You'll all see soon enough that Katalina is in, and they'll alongside having the PS4 game come to switch, allow the mobile game to come overseas. Trust me, my source has actual credibility and soon you'll all see that Katalina is one of the dlc characters. I've heard a bit from them about othe characters but they aren't as sure on them aside from Katalina due to what his position is.

Thanks for the information but right now we need something fresh. Give us another company that will be getting a DLC character not named Microsoft or SE. Or better yet, bring forth info from the mysterious SE character. Even if you end up right, this isnt information that could bring new interesting subjects to the discussion. Give us something spicy to talk about (but make sure it is reliable).

Then you honestly worded that a bit badly, with 'sensible', I think of smaller rosters that are affected a lot more by the budget. For example, MvC3. MvC2 is what I'd consider a kitchen sink roster cause they reused so many goddamn sprites and assets

Funny how the Illuminati controls all the world banks and financial institutions but they couldn't get Codename STEAM to be successful lol. What a silly bunch.

Why do people want these ridiculous, "kitchen sink" rosters? If I was in charge of the roster, I'd still want to have a sensible, realizable roster that represents Nintendo well. There'd be a deep cut or WTF character or two for sure, but no anime, no 20 characters from one series, no cartoon dogs:facepalm:

He's a video game dog, not a cartoon one. Now I expect a 2000 word essay from you explaining the differences.

Can you imagine if every DLC character came with new Spirits... Ridley as Alduin in a Spirit battle, or maybe a Spirit Battle with constant Rathalos summons...

Excuse me mods, I think Smashboards is broken. It’s not letting me like this more than once.

This is the BEST idea, and now I will be legit disappointed if this is not the case.

Say, hypothetically, you were put in charge of the rest of the characters. You were told to choose 5 for Ultimate DLC, and then choose 20 more for future installments, bringing the character total to 100. Which 25 characters would "complete" the roster for you? (Please no judging other people's, it's their opinion.)

2. Sora
3. Steve
4. Katalina
5. Edelgard

You won't be able to until you get the physical code from the game card itself, I believe.

No mini-Direct news at all, it figures.

Anyway, here's something I thought about earlier at work today:

The Woolly World stage is missing, right? So what if they ported it over for DLC as Poochy's stage? It would help make development easier.

NapoleonDos said:
Yeah, except Bayonetta is in. She is more sexual and more violent, including having (literally) twice as many guns.
So... No. This does not stand.
Click to expand...
Bayo's guns are colorful/gimmicky, much like the Zapper.

In any case, the only other true way to abolish the rule is if they can get a Metal Slug character in here.

I actually have no idea who this "cartoon dog" is supposed to mean. I'm wracking my brain thinking of relevant memes and I got nothing.

A character from the Littlest Pet Shop reboot. That's really just it. What happened is like taking Zinith Zinith 's Yoshi appreciation and cranking it up to 12.

It'll be the code on the card for the game. You'll be able to put it in your Nintendo account and you'll get your digital code for PP in February... I think. So you won't be able to do anything until you actually have the game in your hands.

Also, some people who bought the game digitally already got their codes. Might call Nintendo NL on Tuesday to ask about that
