*Cries in 101 tears*

**** off with this Ever Oasis bull****. Also why Landsknecht and not Dorpsbewoner or Boerenjongen?

 

[FreeFox]

I already pre-ordered physical Ultimate like two months ago (the hype got to me), how do I redeem gold points?
I need Audrey II.

Just press the + button in front of the screen of the game you want to redeem.

 

[KingofKoopas]

i'm pressing charges against you for attempted manslaughter.

Bring it then

lol ok ill stop

 

[Kuraudo]

Welp...

Man.

Between Incineroar & Ken being the final main newcomers, somebody apparently having a vid of an unknown character (Piranha Plant) in the hayfever before the Direct, and now the Minecraft content/Katalina/Square-Enix rep, Smash Ultimate's content would have to be one of the worst kept secrets ever if the DLC talk all turns out to be true.

Like, what's it gotta take for the dev team to prevent anything from getting out?

 

[Nekoo]

Welp...

Not only that but he's sure that the DLC will makes a **** load of money for Nintendo because the Characters are "cool" by themselves

 

[FalcoXP]

Who's Katalina?

 

[TheCJBrine]

Stealth_ says Hitagi is lying, and that Vergeben hasn't actually received new info.

However I only saw this on another thread and I have no idea what this Stealth_ guy's deal is, though I remember his name being brought up before. I believe Vergeben more than him, but it still makes me wonder.

They're both lying.

The only person so far that has gotten enough right for me to trust them is Vergeben, and he says he hasn't heard anything about what Hitagi says.

Did any of you guys even watch the Direct where it said all you had to do was register your physical copy or?

**** off with this Ever Oasis bull****. Also why Landsknecht and not Dorpsbewoner or Boerenjongen?

Ever Oasis got deconfirmed with Spirits, this ain't it.
Also, those two are already in the game, you dummy.

 

[StormC]

I have a little game to play.

Who's Katalina?

Sword ice lady from third party mobile gatcha game.

 

[Pakky]

I don't know about you guys, but this talk of Katalina makes me want her in even more

Plot twist: they announce it on Thanksgiving day for release the following day to drive up crazy sales and media attention...

I'm so down making a moveset has been rough but I'm ready!

 

[KingofKoopas]

Welp...

I'm still holding to my guns she's season 2 content.

Stealth is someone who is VERY VEEEERY not reliable sadly. Don't put any weight on his words.

ive heard about day one DLC, but never heard of DLC launching before the game XD

I was talking about the N64 Classic

However I only saw this on another thread and I have no idea what this Stealth_ guy's deal is, though I remember his name being brought up before. I believe Vergeben more than him, but it still makes me wonder.

If his track record is anything to go by... it seems that Stealth_ is the one that's lying
"What a twist!"

Yeah no, my want list on my sig alone wouldn't be able to fit, so I'll take a pass on this one.

Man.

Like, what's it gotta take for the dev team to prevent anything from getting out?

A program that tracks Verge's ISP address down and blocks him every time he tries to contact someone?

She's part of Shisho's moveset, don't worry

 

[dezeray112]

Sword ice lady from third party mobile gatcha game.

That mobile game, I think it is called Granblue Fantasy produced by Cy Games.

lmao Aangezien means considering so that isn't even right

Yeah, that one. Don't have much to say about it, honestly, aside from artwork being freaking gorgeous.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

Is it bad the only reason I want Katalina is to see the community implode?

I'll gladly buy her for the sake of having another character on the roster, so not like I have anything to lose

 

[TheCJBrine]

Spongebob = Spawn_Wave
Patrick = Square-Enix
Squidward's house = Verge

Spawn Wave - Peeked just enough to see Sora
Vergeben - Scanned the box and SE with his super vision
Square Enix - Didn't notice despite their extreme anti-leak policy

 

[blackghost]

*Way late response*

While a second witch time would be the easiest way to implement her I did think of another way her power can work. In ARMS she specifically freezes projectiles, the arms, so I was thinking her Down Special could be a shockwave that freezes all projectiles in a radius. The first time it's a huge radius, but if used continuously the radius is smaller and the freeze doesn't last as long.

Overall her whole playstyle would be based on air game and air dodging, while keep distance with ranged attacks and stoping/reflecting other ranged attacks.

But yea they could also just make it Witch Time 2.0

bayonetta takes control of projectile with witch time now
https://twitter.com/SoraKibzu/status/1023166920454033408

she does that in her source game so it doesn't leave room for twintelle anyway.

 

[Deleted member]

[ColietheGoalie]

Is it bad the only reason I want Katalina is to see the community implode?

Maybe a little?? I'm not sure why people always wish ill on others. I can't think of a character I want purely out of spite

[Royalty1702]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

 

[Deleted member]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

None because the combos are bad
I would choose one that was Geno, Banjo, Travis, Rex/Pyra and Crash though.

 

[SlickWylde]

So 54 people say they're cancelling the pre-order. Of that, what percentage do you think actually pre-ordered and cancelled? And what percentage do you think will still buy the game within a week of release?

My guess is that maybe 15 out of all of those people won't actually purchase the game within the first month.

 

[KiBom]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

Number 1

 

[7982Brick]

So Katalina still has a chance? I hope so I really would like her in smash same for edelgard. However, I'm sure people would be salty if both somehow made it into the fighter pass

 

[Untouch]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

Would hurt losing DOOMguy but the middle.

 

[Deleted member]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

First one because even if it hurts me to discard Phoenix, I ain't choosing that second one.

She didn't need to get any more broken...

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

The far left one...
I'd be fine with all of the characters

Sora would mean Disney's name is in the copyright
Steve would make for a fun move set involving crafting
Katalina has a great design, and we need another ice user
Edelgard would be a unique and fun Fire Emblem character
And Crash would make for another wonderful third party addition to the roster
Easily a 10/10 set for me...

The second is a worse case scenario for me, and the third one would be lackluster,,,

 

[Noipoi]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

First row.

 

[Idon]

Choose one of the three sets of DLC fighters. Which do you choose?

Image machine broke.
What's it say?

 

[Opossum]

my problem with that game is that i have allergic reactions to everything too "Star Spangled bannerlike" :/

BTW, you guys still talking about TOE ZRENT ? (MLP Kcnockoff is not even popular DX)

I mean to be fair, it's not nearly as uber-American as some people think. The team itself is multinational but just so happens to be led by Lincoln. Of the core twelve playable characters...

From the United States:
Henry Fleming
John Henry
Tom Sawyer
Randolph Carter
Dorothy Gale (but I mean come on, this one barely counts lol)

Technically Not from the United States:
Tiger Lily

Not from the United States:
Scarecrow
Tin Man
Lion
Queequeg
Califia
The Fox

And even among the group of playable characters from the US, it's not a big part of Tom, Randolph Carter, or Dorothy's characters in-game, and only heavily relates to Henry Fleming and John Henry on account of them being Civil War veterans. And even among those two, Henry Fleming is the only playable character who's close to hyper-patriotic, to the point where his special attack theme is literally The Star Spangled Banner, but he's no worse than, say, Captain America.

...Honestly the whole game itself is basically an Avengers homage. Lincoln is Nick Fury (the Commanding Officer, with S.T.E.A.M. being S.H.I.E.L.D.), Henry Fleming is Captain America (patriotic war veteran and on-the-field leader), John Henry is Iron Man (mechanically-enhanced heavy hitter), Dorothy and the rest of the Oz crew are Thor (otherworldly allies from a different plane of reality), Califia is Black Panther (royalty from secluded, but powerful, African nations), and Randolph Carter is Bruce Banner, minus the Hulk (academic scientist who relies on brain over brawn). The game even has a silver age comic book aesthetic.

Basically my point is that the game deserved to sell a lot more than it did and Henry Fleming would be perfect in Smash.
