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.

The existence of a Samurai Shodown game for one.
I hate just saying "oh, they got lucky", but honestly, if that's all they have, that's seriously not all that impressive. Samurai Shodown is not a hard guess. It's at least something though.

Some people don’t like Mortal Kombat.
Dislike =/= Hate

Violence will be toned down to levels people won't approve of. Easy job.
Nintendo's already been doing that with MK on the SNES, they should expect it to be toned down for E10+. You don't see Bayo going nude in this game.

You'll likely see snow falling in Hell before we ever see Scorpion in Smash.
Which is why nobody would expect it.

Okay gonna change the subject for a minute. Anyone think that with this being the most complete smash game to date, that the mod scene may be even bigger than before? Like we all know Project M brought a VERY decent Mewtwo and Roy back into the fold. Project M's team also got really close to finishing Knuckles, Lyn and Isaac for the game too.

Brawl mods in general honestly were pretty extensive, and even got pretty good versions of people's most wanted's, like Geno: https://youtu.be/H_iBg3gO9Ck


The reason why I'm asking is because many of these characters (Lyn, Isaac, Shadow, Knuckles, Skull Kid, Waluigi, etc) all have actual models that could be used as textures for eventual characters. Not sure how feasible it'll be since Smash 4 wasnt as heavily modded (possibly due to not being physically able to do so properly).

Just figured that if DLC obviously doesn't satisfy everyone, Mods can be a good alternative to getting characters if they are well done.

This is the Smash fandom we're talking about, even disinterest will be converted into hate on the basis of "it's not *insert character here*".
Let’s be honest, how many people would defend Katalina’s inclusion anyway?
I mean if she has a cool moveset I won't complain, I'll just be very confused.

He also leaked the Switch Pro though some of the specs were wrong.
Also said Park Ranger 17 was in FighterZ.

*clicks tongue* nice
Globox as an echo makes no sense. They would have to make completely new animations for him since Globox has limbs, as well as a completely different body shape. Sakurai commented on how Isabelle couldn't be an echo of Villager because of their different body shapes.

Everyone's getting mad at the idea of Katalina while I'm sitting here thinking she could be kind of cool.

No Nintendo franchise appearances probably kills the idea, though.
There's a Granblue character in Dragalia so she could show up there.

Hm. Those are something, though both could still be guesses, especially Park Ranger 17. I think everyone already guessed they would go with that design to better differentiate him from his assist counterpart.

Is GTA a big hit in Japan? I'm pretty curious actually.
GTA V was a big hit. It has since died down as most things do. I haven’t checked but I still think kids like playing it. It’s (was) popular between 5th grade to high school age.

I know you're reading this. Vote 2B.
What quote? Also, again, don't take Hitagi's word as gospel, they've literally had no track record so far. Verge only said that they share a source. This reminds me too much of LoZ18, except Hitagi doesn't even have anything lending them credibility yet.

You've been a bit out of the loop recently, huh?

A Switch Pro actually makes a lot of sense. The console generation is coming to an end, and the Switch is still behind. If they want to stay in the next generation, a Switch Pro could help flock more third parties throughout the next one.

Falling into the pitfall of "well he was just guessing" is a dangerous pitfall.

Thanks based Japan resident.

Oh man, I remember when that meme was funny.
Time flies fast when you're ****posting on Smashboards.
Dude you weren't even on the website when it was popular.

The Western side of Pop Star.
I would love Dragon Quest stuff too.

Anything without the name of “Madden Player” or “Atari Sports” connected to it is always welcomed in my house.
I would certainly like DQ stuff too, especially if they go with a secondary character.

Not THAT good. More so decent.
Hornyness from the creator definitely took away from the show, however.


Oh you know I am!
Reminder that the light novel has the most poorly-written sex scene ever.

Katalina seems to me the key factor in determining how much choice Sakurai really has here, particularly with 3rd parties that probably have deals made outside of his control. Maybe we put him on too great a pedestal, but I absolutely can't see him wanting to charge players worldwide for a character originating from a Japan-centric gacha mobile game. But I can see Nintendo corporate interests wanting to strike up a good relationship with Cygames after Dragalia to boost their mobile plans.
At this stage, she's Schrodinger's Katalina; both in and not in as DLC.

Will there ever be a video game character that everyone universally hates the idea of being in Smash?
No, because everyone has different tastes, and there are a a non-zero amount of people that will take anything at all, with open arms.
