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 won't fight you.
I'll just point out Pokemon's stance as the number one media franchise in the world, then sink back into my pile of Pokemon plushies.

As someone who loves both Pokémon and Digimon, I'll... just continue doing just that.

I can’t believe Avatar is objectively the greatest movie of all time.

Well, that was... a clever rebuttal. XD

That new KH3 trailer looks fun, but any statement involving the χ blade is significantly less impacting when vocalized looool

Digimon DLC.

Anyway made my Fighter Pass wishlist:

View attachment 177098
Some tidbits

-I considered adding Bandana Dee and Elma but I highly doubt characters from pre-existing series would be given their own stage and tracks so they're scrapped out.

-It's not actually Slime itself but representing a general DQ Hero cause I had no clue who to pick.

-Heihachi was considered for Smash 4 but was dropped in favor of Pac-Man, Sakurai changes his mind on characters but Jin makes more sense due to being the main protgonist of the Tekken series.

I saw possible Sora and Rayman, is it Dixie Kong bottom right ?

A question guys...

Would you prefer another Pokémon as DLC , or a Digimon as a Namco Bandai rep?

Dont hit me Graizen but I am completely pokeobssesed. My number one pick for each smash is a new pokemon. No franchise can take that place in my heart.

As for a "Never Ever" topic. How do any of you feel on Scorpion or Sub-Zero? I don't think they'd happen, but they'd make waves here in the west at least. Japan sandbags MK, so it'd be the opposite of Katalina I guess.

Scorpion, no. Sub-Zero, yes. More Ice- and Lightning-based characters is always good to compliment the Fire characters.

That is all you can think of? I am a fan of such kind of series. There is Yokai Watch, Monster Rancher, Fossil Fighter, technically Yugioh and all of the card games, digimon, kingdom hearts dream drop distance. And that just of the top of my head. I would still pokemon at the top of them all.

Edit: How could I forget Puzzle and dragons?

I still can’t get over this crowd. It feels like they’re paid and are overcompensating for it.

Ah no worries you do what you need to do, if it takes awhile to respond its all good :).

1) I can see what you are saying, that being said Ridley is Nintendo owned. In this case we are dealing with Square and Nintendo. So we do have to keep that in mind. If Nintendo was making this decision only I could see them going with a Dragon Quest rep. However you throw Square into the mix and now things get interesting. It just depends if Square does not want another globally popular character. Which my money is on they do, we see this with Noctis in Tekken and 2B in Soul Calibur. Im pretty sure the only reason they haven't cross promoted Lara in a fighter yet, is because of her weapons. We see a pattern of their cross patterns, they are globally popular. Now to the credit of Dragon Quest, it has been cross promoted with Mario characters before. However that was years ago, and no major cross promotions with Dragon Quest have happened in the recent years that I am aware of. If we are going by that Square wants another major cash in, they will go with Sora. As globally wise he is more profitable than having a Dragon Quest rep. The major player in this is Square, they've been known to want high globally popular characters with their cross promotions.

2) I don't see dig dug or those other characters happening and here is why. Heihachi and Lloyd are the highest contenders, if a spot went to someone its going to one of them. Unless they decide to choose Jin as Tekken is trying to push him as the new face now that Heihachi is story wise dead. LLoyd would be a sword fighter also, but a dual sword fighter. So he would fight very differently from other sword fighters. If we go with Dragon Quest is the Square rep. Then it makes sense they might choose LLoyd as he is Bandai Namco's JRPG rep. Then you have Cloud representing FF, lets say Erdrick representing DQ, and Lloyd representing the Tales series. All of this being said I still think its either Heihachi or Jin as they are the next most recognizable Bandai Namco characters aside from Pacman. I wouldn't mind seeing Lloyd though.

3) I think its going to happen despite fans not liking it, in fact I would be shocked if it didn't. If you look at the big Youtube insiders for Nintendo, they all are predicting that Fire Emblem will get a rep from Three Houses. They have done it before with Corrin despite fans not wanting it, I can see them doing it again. Edelgard will be the first axe user in Smash. Yes Simon and Richter use it to a degree, but not as a main weapon they just throw it. Also her axe is almost long enough to be a two handed axe. So it would definitely be required to alternate between one hand and two hands in using it. If they throw in someway for her to use sword and axe, then she could have a stance switch which causes her to rotate between weapons. Or she could just dual wield, but the point is she has the capabilities for a big move set that would be different from other FE reps.

4) This one im not sure of, call it a hunch. I can't really back this one because we don't know enough about Pokemon 2019 and even less about Metroid Prime 4. If Katalina is owned by Nintendo I could potentially see her here, but I don't know. Pushing a mobile game is a move we haven't seen Nintendo do before, so we will have to wait and see. If there is no Pokemon rep, then I could see one of their other more popular Nintendo characters making it here. Possibly Bandana Waddle Dee or DIxie Kong, provided that Spirits do not de confirm characters. Also if Nintendo pushes a mobile character for cross promotion when so many of their most wanted characters sit in the bench. If they are in this mindset, the chances of Edelgard increase because she too can be used for cross promotion.

5) I actually want to throw a wrench in my previous thought. What if the heard Microsoft content is just that, only content released with the Fighter pass. Like how Rayman was only a trophy in Smash Wii U. It is possible that Microsoft might not even have a rep, just representation in a small way. Vergeben seems to not be able to confirm if for sure there is a Microsoft character making it in, only that Microsoft content is in someway. I know this sounds odd to add a third party in DLC but only as a Spirit or assist, but its possible. Lets just speculate that Microsoft is only getting a small content in the form of a Spirit, or assist trophy, etc. Then that opens the door for another 3rd party to step in. It seems very odd that Rayman might sit this one out. Especially because the Rabbids are spirits and his spirit has not been found. Throw in that Ubisoft has an arguably higher relationship with Nintendo. And that Rayman had a trophy in Wii U and there is a Mario and Luigi costume in Rayman legends. If there is no Microsoft rep I can see Rayaman taking this spot instead.

I know right that Tekken Abandoned Temple song is really catchy. I really hope Heichachi or Jin make it just so I can hear it in Smash Ultimate ha.

Oh hooh, a text wall XD No wories I'll dig through it.
1. Well I shouldn't debate this particular subject as its where our bets are put. so I'll leave it be.

2. No, those were simply what i think would make good BN entries (if ever).. Also Klonoa too.

I'm biased against fighters in Smash honestly. I think it's a mistake and really hope that Sakurai stop doing it. For that I'd go for Lloyd, no denying the popularity of Tales series. It might also be Yuri, as Vesparia is heading Switch.
I don't think companies are comparing notes when selecting their reps, so I don't think it really matters what genre that rep comes from.

3. If that's your opinion. I can at least agree that anyhting can go, but personally I really really x ∞ don't want another FE rep in Smash. And as I said,, a weapon doesn't make a fighter to me. We'll have to wait n see.

4. Then why was Incineroar added? Does it really have to be every single Pokemon game?.. man, if that's how they want it no wonder some of my friends are stepping away from Smash.

5. That's not odd, and that's actually why I put Rayman in my list. It doesn't make sense to give MS but not Ubi (it does make a money sense though. See, you're not thinking cold cuts now are you? XD). Also, Steve not in, that's what almost every Smash fan wish for. The other leaker btw (Hitagi) said that Nintendo choices will please fans, so here's that too. Question is, which fans? XD

As much music as you wish, but no without any fighters please.
