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.

There are worse choices than Steve.

... just so long as they don't give him facial animations.

Wow, we're complete opposites.

I think K Rool is hilarious, Isabelle is adorable, Ridley is awesome, I generally like the echoes, Inkling and Incineroar are my absolute favorites they're so amazing! But i'm not excited for Simon.

And PP is a beautiful baby boy.
I’ve noticed. I always see how you’re so hyped about the game because most of the newcomers were ones that you were excited for, but they just didn’t cut it for me.

But the one that I did like was the one that didn’t grab you.

This world is full of surprises Noi.

Hmmm, should I do a Komi-San in Simon's outfit... (Then again it's black and white and it might ruin some piece here).

It's funny how much of a 180 this community has done now to the point where they're putting an insane amount of stock in the words of a guy Vergeben said he trusts.
Thanks, Grinch leak...:ohwell:

That said, now it's going to be a game of Xanatos speed chess between Nintendo and the leakers, we can only wait and see who comes out on top.

Oh god Steve. As long as my mosted wanted is in, I think I can stomach him. But if Banjo gets shafted, ouch just OUCH to his fans.
Eh, looking at the good in a bad situation, the door will be open to negotiate easier for B-K in the future when Steve gets in.

If he has to get in, please, bring an Alex skin so I don't have to stare at his blandness.

I'm still holding a torch for Geno, but honestly. I got my squids, I got my tiger, and I got my puppy.

Bring on the blocks.
Good attitude to have.

Not really putting stock on Geno at this point, anyone from Square-Enix will do (preferably from DQ).

That's what makes us human, we're all different.

I hope one of the dlc characters is someone you like!

Melee Yoshi is butt ugly and you can't convince me otherwise
It's incredible how the models for Melee used to be highly regarded but now yikes most of them are just plain abysmal.
It was a different time! Seeing the characters in full 3D without being block heads was such a sight we didn't think about Mewtwo's fetus head, Yoshi's bizarre shape, Bowser's look, or Luigi's look*

(*although Luigi and Mewtwo's appearances at least had past precedence with Mario Party and the Red/Blue...they just weren't good designs to inspire from)

Brawl was the same. The lighting, shading, and overall models were praised to the high heavens a decade ago. Now everyone sees Bowser as mock Godzilla and everyone looks colorless.

And to be fair, that's correct.

Brawl's grittier color scheme is funny to me. It felt like it had a "this is a serious battle" theme but then you go around throwing Nintendogs at Pikachu.

I'm hoping we get this alt. for Steve?:

Herobrine.png


I remember when I was younger and this Steve with 2 pixels changed actually scared me. Good times.

To this day, Mojang still puts "-Removed Herobrine" in their changelogs, and they have included him in a couple or so pieces of official artwork. Plus, he's a skin in the console games, or at least the pre-Bedrock Edition ones.

Is it scary that your opinions on these newcomers are literally exactly the same as mine?

That's really rad! I wish I could have a Smash party.

Instead I just figure out a buncha themed matches I can do with myself and some cpus.

It did. The Subspace is probably the most serious Smash has ever been and the theme song definitely had that aura of a battle between warriors.
It's ironic that the most serious look of the series turned out to be casual-friendly to that point, yes. The game isn't viable competitively at all due to horrid mechanics and a bad engine. Sakurai really had a thing against competitive Smash back then. It was a strange reaction from someone who played competitively himself in arcades.

One day we'll look back at Ultimate and think they were crap. Honestly cannot fathom that as the models and renders are amazing, yet we will. Smash 4's already look like hot garbage now and that was five years ago.

Same here...

Adulting sucks. Back in college, I could play with my roommate or the other people in the dorms for hours. Now, I have to schedule time I can play vs cpu.

Still got a lot of good memories of playing :zeldamelee: vs my roomie’s :peachmelee: For eight hours straight. One of the reasons Brinstar is one of my favorite stages - we were both crazy competitve on that one for some reason.

You know, I think it's a good thing people's expectations are rock-bottom right now, because they might actually be pleasantly surprised by the upcoming announcements this time, depending on the final results. Just no more Grinch leaks, please, so few grains of salt have been taken that the mine is still full of it.

on one side i 100% agree but on the other we really don't need any more characters with only 4 alts
Just hope they don't give him a Banjo skin then.

To be honest I think if you go into Smash while having a very strict list of newcomers you would be satisfied with, you're going to have a bad time.

Either that or not being open to choices you don't know much about. Like, the last two games have been the stuff of legends for me because I was open to the additions. Sure, some picks not getting in stung, but the net gains of Ridley, K.Rool, and the return of Snake (and the other vets) is simply awesome and made up for it.

I don't think I've ever been stingy, but there are a few characters that I think are...weird or boring. But I won't say anything about that at the moment.

Still want to try out that Training Mode stage. It calls me at this point. Very much looking forward to that.
