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.

I don't think Hitagi saying he heard nothing about Bandana Dee for DLC means too much
We knew nothing about K. Rool or any Echo except Ken.
We also only became aware of Piranha Plant possibly existing 10 hours before the Direct in a Verge comment no one noticed.

Not that I don't believe Hitagi, but I think we all need to remember K. Rool, PP, and like 4 of the echoes, which all went completely unleaked. K. Rool was entirely doubted until his reveal.

My point is, these leakers should stop saying a lack of information is essentially deconfirmation because I doubt any of them know all 5 of the characters.
I mean, he supposedly knows 3 out of the 5, maybe he knows the other 2, but he's not ready to tell us yet

Guys Hitagi not hearing of characters means nothing. Nobody heard of K. Rool or PP. Let's stop assuming unleaked characters are impossible

Hey hey it's alright
He got some of the Switch Pro specs wrong

He's probably right but hang in there
This is my problem with Hitagi. He was full on about Katalina, but then backpedaled. I'm hope and pray that he and his supposed "Cygames source" knows about THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, because they MUST know that game is bulldozing every other mobile game in Japan AND iM@S has Nintendo history, unlike Granblue.

He really only came out of nowhere very recently because of Smash, too, so it's a bit hard to take his word. He's in the more hit and miss category much like Vergeben's sources that aren't Smash Bros sources.

His only real miss seems to be a bit of backpedaling on Steve's status as a base or DLC character and a few of the Switch Pro specs though.

Verg did know about Piranha Plant, he just didn't say anything. But I still hope there's another K. Rool situation.

I don't know why people are responding so negatively to Katalina...
She'd be pretty fun, imo
because literally nobody knows who she is, and she's a mobile game character that has no connection to nintendo period, even less than cloud at this point

Uh oh, don't tell me someone already knows the characters already...
He doesn't.
Seriously do not know why this guy's word is taken as gospel when he hasn't gotten 1 thing right yet.
Because Vergeben says they share some sources? Except that Vergeben also said that his sources don't hear the same things?

She could be fun as hell. It's the character.

She's from a gacha game, absolutely no Nintendo history, isn't even the main character of said game, would be DLC, only really appeals to Japan, has been requested by absolutely no one, undeniably a shill sort of character

Well, you sure were quick to throw Ultimate's DLC in the trash because of one character that hasn't been confirmed yet lol. Also, 4's DLC wasn't bad IMO, but whatever.

I'd be fine with her but you couldn't really fault people for not liking her.

when she gets in you're suddenly gonna hear a lot of people go "oh i wanted her in smash all along" even though they had no idea who she was until the reveal trailer

Consider the fact that if they are really adding her to smash. And then why have no history with nintendo when she's from mobile?

Unless, her game could be coming to swtich.

I just don't understand why people are putting stock into him?

Just cause Verge is backing him up?

I feel like we're at this point where some people legitimately only want to see their preferred choices get in more than others'. Maybe I'm wrong, but her character, to me, doesn't warrant unnecessary hate, but I've come to expect it now, and it's really pointless.

I absolutely do not care if her game is coming to Switch, as of right now, she has no Nintendo history. So that's what I'm going with.

They're going to add her if they do to promote her company which Nintendo is partnering and investing in. We don't need to navigate around that.

Wait, he backpedaled on Steve? Okay, then it's a bit hard to take his word, if that's the case.

I'm gonna be real with y'all, the only people that has any "cred" is either Vergeben's Smash source and Spawn Wave. But, then comes the problem of YouTube on Switch, which now will make leaks much easier to fake and harder for leakers to provide credibility to their claims, much like the whole "Insider V People" situation back during the Grinch Leak.

Especially with DLC info being much, much harder to leak, I'd even say take Spawn and Vergeben with a grain of salt.

I'd rather have Katalina over Piranha Plant, idgaf.

With few exceptions, I'd still would rather play as a character over a generic mook. That just doesn't interest me at all.

Nintendo owns stock in Granblue's Creator, Cygames, and they're collaborating to develop Dragalia Lost.

Corrin was the only character in 4's DLC that was an advertisement character. How the hell were Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta advertisement characters?

No, he did not backpedal he just stated he KNEW Steve was in but was a bit hesitant as to if he's DLC or base.

Only makes me dislike her more. She's being added solely to raise awareness of her company.

If we got a Second Fighter Pass, which characters do you all think would be in the pass?

I think characters like Crash, Rayman and Bandana Dee might have a higher chance if there was a second pass.
Shantae, Rhythm Heaven rep, Doomguy.

Ah, yes the advertisment garbage of two fan favorite veterans.

Ryu, whose latest installment wasn't even for a Nintendo system.

Cloud, whose game is just now going to touch a Nintendo system through a port of the PS1 version next year.

And Bayonetta, who Nintendo had just invested in and saved the future of.

Seriously, you can maybe argue advertising with my girl Bayo, but none of the others were advertisement ploys in the least.

If we're getting a paid gambling advertisement in Smash, can it at least be a Nintendo gambling app like Dragalia Lost?

Hitagi has said nothing to prove he's credible with Smash specifically and while Verge trusts him he also hasn't backed up any of his claims. After he started backpedaling on Steve everyone here just stopped paying attention to him until now.

The only person who has been shown to be trustworthy with Smash news is Vergeben. He's said he hasn't heard of anything that Hitagi is saying outside of "Minecraft content".

Until Hitagi gets something right we need to stop running around like chickens with our heads cut off believing every piece of fake "evidence" that comes from his mouth. For all the hate LaxChris gets on here we really aren't that much different.

You're right, :4mewtwo::4lucas::4feroy::4ryu: and :4cloud: weren't advertising ploys.

Those were all the other ones, right?
