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.

Hope no one has posted this yet. You can hear Lucina's new victory theme really clearly @ 3:00. Robin and Chrom might have it, too.

maybe its just me but something just feels wrong about minecraft being next to franchises like mario and pac-man

you can argue popularity all you want, but sometimes a character just doesn't feel right, and that can't really change
We have a nameless mook in Smash now.


I'll take damn near anyone at this point.

I don’t think the English singer of Lifelight has come out yet. It sounds sorta like Rena Strober though.

Yeah she said on Twitter it wasn't her.

I can't think of any Nintendo games with similar singing so maybe it's just someone new.

Only other guess I have is Kate Davis (Jump Up Super Star) but I can't find her Twitter.
Oh, that's my second guess. No deconfirm from her yet?

Actually do you have the final leak count or did you give up?
I gave up around September when classes picked up. One of my classes is essay-intensive and I need to give myself like two to three weeks to work on them.

It was past 600 though. I'd estimate around 1250 by the end.

Coming back to this one, but I've been accused of a lot of **** here.

According to ya'll, I'm an insider who works at both Nintendo and Microsoft.

When in reality I'm the mail boy for Sony HQ. It's why I knew the Grinch "leak" was fake, because WE were the ones who made the promo materials for the Grinch movie. But I could say so or else I'd jeopardize my job. Sony's really secretive. In fact, I just lost my job making this post.

Oh well.

/s
tehponycorn, we were the real insiders all along. Don't you see?
----------------------------------------------
Regarding Graizen Graizen 's tweets; if true, his correspondence with Hitagi would actually be detrimental to his cause (that of getting Agumon in Smash).

Why would he fake that, exactly?

If we're using leaks as a reference, then we could cherry-pick taking the SE character out of the picture as well, since they're stingy and hard to work with when it comes to getting the rights for stuff that they keep out-sourcing.

This is all based on assumptions, we don't actually know if they give a crap or not. We could say Namco would've gotten their character in the base-game just like Pac-Man in Smash 4, or we could say Microsoft wouldn't care because Minecraft is their money-maker, so they wouldn't need two characters.

Not every 3rd-party had two characters in Smash 4, why should it be a definite thing here? I can just as easily say Ubisoft should have two characters instead of just Rayman.
Well considering Square-Enix just burned 33+Million dollars to the ground + the fact they're clear lack of management and focus; it make senses on them being stingy. FF 7 in development hell (entire code has to be redone). FF XV DLC cancelled (thank god). To pay for DLC in order to get a complete game is atrocious. The only good thing is that KH3 is coming out and even then the game is OVERRATED. The story is convoluted and is starting to not make sense. Gameplay and Nostalgia is awesome though. Square-Enix has been downgrading ever since Spirits Within but even more so with the FF XIV utter disaster when it first launched

From both of his statements I translate it as Nintendo picked the characters this time so none of your Isaacs, Genos or Banjos are getting in.
I'd be fine with Poochys, Monas and Heihachis, at least.

Oh I'm waiting for sure.

TO FIND OUT WHO THE **** IS THE SINGER OF LIFELIGHT
No, she confirmed it's not her.

It's not any of the names thrown out either. Not Amalee, or Christina Vee, or Sapphire, or Utada Hikaru.

So who is it?
Ah yes, the biggest mystery of Ultimate after Yoshi's final Smash. I bet this might be a Chrono Cross case in which she's a total unknown.

As much I want to hear you guys speculate, H O L Y M O L Y you guys can get quite toxic sometimes. It's at the point where I don't enjoy reading through these posts anymore. Makes me question why I come here in the first place. It's the same charade now.

  • Discussion about Vergeben and whoever that other guy is.
  • Graizen brings up Agumon again.
  • Somebody says something and then two people start arguing over the course of 3 pages.
  • Somebody mentions that a user that started an argument is "trolling" or "using bait".
  • Noipoi and Zinith are diamonds in the rough.
  • A lot of the stuff I see on here I already saw on Reddit a few hours before
I think I've officially grown weary of speculation now that we know the base roster. I don't really find myself caring about the DLC characters that much (Bandanna Dee being the exception). Just as my hiatus throughout 2017, I think it's time this account officially step into its cryogenic chamber yet again. Dunno for how long though. Could be a month, a year, or even until the next Smash title is announced, and I don't even know if I'll care about speculation at this point.

You've all got a game coming out in less than 4 weeks that you all are very much passionate about and will enjoy. As much as it is hard for the human mind to focus on the good rather than the bad, make that the forefront of your mind. Regardless of who the DLC characters are, we've still got a game with a massive roster, 103 stages, an all-new Adventure mode, and tons of good video game music to jam out to.

Keep calm, and Smash on everyone. You might see me around Reddit if you're very attentive, but farewell.

I'm flattered that you thought my boi's then-unknown Final Smash was the biggest mystery of the game. Thank you :yoshi:

Because he has an obsession over digimon and wants to sound like he knows stuff he doesn't.

So like, I don't even know what I'm going to start with when I pick up my copy of Smash. I live like 5 minutes from the mall Gamestop I'm getting it from, and a few friends will be joining me back at my house. I'm probably going to start with a round of Smash either by myself or with the friends...it's weird to say, but this will be the first launch of a Smash game where the first match I would play would be with friends...

Anyway, I may drop the extra money on a guide just for the optional ways to unlock characters, at least for the nostalgia of doing a bunch of stuff to unlock different characters. I hope classic with Mario unlocks Luigi or something like that. I'd freaking love it.

Also, I hope that World of Light has more to the cutscene than what we saw, because then there'll be more like this:

Nintendo already did it to Bamco in base game. No third party "needs" any sort of character rep.

It doesn't matter if we feel it's fair or not. When Nintendo goes "btw y'all are about to get ****ing MILLIONS working on this game which your most iconic character is in alongside a library of his music, references to your characters, and a stage just for him, you also get top billing" then they're gonna do it not worrying about "grrr they bettah put in Lloyd"

You get what I'm getting at?
I think it’s more of the fact that companies like having the virtue of their own character in Smash nowadays.

This was pretty evident with Cloud, since despite what seemed to be an impossibility seeing how much of a Juggernaut he is, Nomura basically said “why wouldn’t I let Cloud, it’s Smash, no one would refuse that” (or something like that).

Some members of the Tales of and Tekken teams also work on Smash, and if they went up to Sakurai and they both agreed to add someone like Lloyd or Heihachi, and Bandai still gets a gain from allowing another character get in, it would be more of a “why not” situation again.

Of course, Nintendo seems to be pulling some of the strings for DLC, but it seems that they more or less gave suggestions to Sakurai and it all falls on him to make the final decision. Seeing how Nintendo does have information on the Smash Ballot, and seeing how much of a shock Nintendo was about King K. Rool and were okay to let him into Smash... I don’t think the possibility for characters like Lloyd who seems to have fan demand are as grim as some people make them out to be, and Nintendo seemed to have grown more open to characters like these.

You'll find out on December 7th.

Because her name will most assuredly be in the credits.
And then the vocal artists are credited but not to their songs and the hunt begins again.

I'm most likely gonna miss this fellas, so Spawn is live right now if y'all wanna give a listen as they mention the rumors about a second Direct. NateDrake is there, so we're probably gonna get something.

That brings up a good question though, what would the cutscenes be about?

In subspace all the characters were in their own little groups until they all met up, in WoL it's just Kirby reviving everyone along the way.

I know this mode won't have a lot of cutscenes, but even if there's a few what would they be about?
