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.

What's the problem with JonTron?
If I remember right, he went on a podcast and expressed controversial views on certain controversial subjects. I believe it was about Minorities and Crime Rates.

I don't think so man.

Microsoft and Nintendo are getting quite close, and they help each other with Minecraft. It's on numerous Nintendo consoles.
Steve being in makes a lot of sense.
Theres no way Microsoft has a closer relationship with Nintendo than Ubisoft. We have Mario+Rabbids Kingdom battle, plus a Donkey Kong expansion, Star Link battle for Atlas with fox. Rayman appearing in Smash Wii U and Mario and Luigi skins appearing in Rayman legends. We have yet to see Banjo or Steve or any Microsoft character appear in the same game as any of the Nintendo characters. Throw in the fact that the Rabbids are Spirits and that so far Rayman has not been spotted. It makes more sense for them to add a Ubisoft rep than a Microsoft rep.

Yet by doing this you are still advocating for and supporting the artists.
Just consider this is all I'm saying. It's important to question that.
I am supporting his art and not his political views. JonTron is not a politician or a pundit, and if he were to go in that direction I can assure you I won't be supporting him then.

when his art is bad i can shame him however i want. the excuse is bull anyway since you can never separate art from the artist, especially not in something like a youtube video
JonTron is still one of the most consistently funny YouTubers out there, and that's after the controversy

he's racist
For you, anyway. Perspective is always key here, it depends on your political views. Politics is not Jon's forte, and his own personal opinion.
And if you can tell me where politics and smash bros meet in the same sentence, then continue the topic by all means. :rolleyes:

TBH, Crash fans also got teased hard back when the PS4 had just launched:




I feel like many people still remember this.

I'm not disputing that Nintendo and Ubisoft are closer than Microsoft.

It makes more sense, but that doesn't mean it's more likely.

The Western side of Pop Star.
You know, I noticed while drawing him (for the icon) that Crono basically has Goku's hair with more bits.

Erdrick is basically Kid Goku with Adult Gohan's hair... and a metal headband.
Toriyama's a really good artist, but face/hair differentiation ain't his thing. Dragon Quest Swords is an example of him making a little more effort.

It still beats Mitsuru Adachi, who can't even tell his own protags apart.

Minecraft makes a lot of sense actually, I don't see why we can't have both. Microsoft is lenient with the Minecraft IP, basically letting Mojang do almost whatever.

Katalina is the one that makes little sense imo.
It is possible but then the majority of DLC will be 3rd party, which wouldn't make sense as Nintendo is choosing the characters. If we added Steve and Rayman then the DLC line up will look like this.

Spot1 Square Enix gets a second rep

Spot2 Bandai Namco gets a second rep

Spot3 Ubisoft gets its first rep

Spot4 Microsoft gets its first rep

Spot5 Nintendo gets its only rep in the DLC

This is why I don't see both Ubisoft and Microsoft getting reps, its most likely one or the other.

Namco getting a rep in itself isn't a sure thing.

still actually a racist tho, like the actual definition of a racist
Okay, sure, whatever you want so we can get by this quickly. And in the views of a racist, he's fine politically. For you, he isn't.


Won't stop me from watching him whether you like it or not the man's funny.

Dude, I think you should stop giving someone the time of day if they're going "Well that's just your opinion that the guy's a racist for saying our gene pools are being tainted and diluted"

Oh, and just saying, I did NOT expect to be talking about this at near 2AM

Aww I missed an opportunity to say how much I hate Jontron.

Anyways, I kind of don't like Rayman that much and think he's ugly but... he definitely has the pedigree so I'd be fine with it. Ubisoft is big enough that they deserve someone in smash bros.

What is happening we go from Agumon to openly endorsing the perspective of a racist can we go back to the ****ing Squenix 3

It wouldn't make sense for them not to. Despite being the developer and making the most money from all the 3rd party's. Why would they develop the game and then watch every 3rd party get a second rep, but them despite developing the game? It wouldn't be fair that they put in all the work and yet get no second rep. I would be really shocked if Bandai Namco does not get a second rep.

I'm more-inclined to believe we're getting Minecraft and no new Namco character if we're getting an Ubisoft character.

Vergeben has been correct about everything he's sure about, so while he can be wrong this time I have no reason to at least think Nintendo considered Minecraft content and tried to get the rights from Mojang/Microsoft.

It'd make total sense

By virtue of developing the game they make more money than all the 3rd parties in the game
AND they get their mascot Pac-Man in the game

They don't care about what's morally fair...they're a company and are making FAT STACKS doing this game. I really doubt they're too concerned.

Let’s stop with the political discussion. I see absolutely 0 ways that would turn out well.

Did they change Ganonodorf’s victory theme? They gave Lucina a unique one, so it would make sense.

Wolf not having his sweeping Forward Smash is depressing... That was in the top ten of moves to spam in Brawl. :laugh::crying:

No I'm literally saying it's your opinion. You literally brought the man up. If people agree with him, it's their opinion. Ergo, opposite applies.
I don't get what your point is, are you saying I support this man's political views? :4pacman:

Well if we wanna make politics on topic for Smash I guess we could do 'where does your main lie on the political spectrum', but that'd probably get very heated very fast so best we didn't.

Though Wario being a libertarian is not up for debate

They did, but it's not unique.
I've personally heard it on Toon Link and there are reports of it being on Sheik as well.

For those who haven't heard it properly, Ridley's victory theme!

A little late to the party but that video is so good that I’ll let it slide.

EDIT:

Which video did you hear it on Toon Link. I thought the new victory theme was for the characters that have their Ocarina of Time appearances
