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'm kinda hoping the space animals are top tier again. I don't even care if they handle like they did in Melee (though it would be nice).

Maybe if I post on page 7777, I'll be lucky enough to maybe one day I'll get an SMT rep (preferably D-F) in Smash

The Grinch leak was pretty lucky with its 7 characters to have so many coincidences going for it.
Makes everyone who believed in it seven times more gullible. :upsidedown: All you have to do is dangle some good wanted character bait and they're at your knees.

If their not giving my boi any attention in promotion leading up to release relative to his actual recognition and influence, why should I (or anyone else for that matter) expect the same in-game, which if the Story Mode trailer is anything to go by, seems to be the case...
Imagine being a Cloud fan now and seeing he's not used AT ALL in the promotion.
Let that sink.

This is a lucky page, you might get your wishes granted.

You know who grants wishes?

Since this is the lucky page, then I wish King Boo is in the game in some way. This is a reasonable wish, right?

Edit: Doh, I missed. :ultwario:

Hey, Virtua Fighter isn't dead! It's on the PS4!

That's helpful. :colorful:

Falco apparently looks better, idk about Fox. He was really good in Sm4sh because of his pivot tilts but idk how effective that will be now. Frame data is still good though

Oh come on, you don't get to insult us after it's been proven fake. That's like calling the election two weeks later and saying you knew it the whole time.

I obviously get to insult everyone by being on the actual team winner: Team "Who Cares My Dreams Were Crushed Months Ago Just Give Me The Game". :smirk:

did you really need an /s as some red flag

Today was a big day for me, as I got a chance to get my hands on Ultimate for the very first time. I just moved out to Western Wisconsin for a job and drove my Dad out to the airport in Minneapolis after he helped me unload. Anyways, stopped at Mall of America to catch the football games when I stumbled upon a Nintendo area with Smash. It was a long line, but with all the time I've spent on here it would have been criminal not to wait an hour to try.

Everyone got two 2:30 sessions. I went with Kirby and Inkling. Going to take time to get used to the paint mechanic. The game played so well, I'm even more excited now. Played with a pro controller and it was pretty comfortable.

He's simply annoyed that the dino keeps getting the shaft in various ways, like being at the butt end of EVERYONE IS HERE, his FS being among the last ones to be revealed, etc. It may not seem like much, but to fans of the characters, it is insulting.
Still think it's dumb to get offended about a fictional character, but w/e.

If their not giving my boi any attention in promotion leading up to release relative to his actual recognition and influence, why should I (or anyone else for that matter) expect the same in-game, which if the Story Mode trailer is anything to go by, seems to be the case...
Where did I say anything about the story mode?

He's one of 8 characters you can choose from when you start the game.

Wait guys

What if Cygames gets a Granblue character, but it's not Katalina, the MC, or Lyria?

What if... it's the mascot character

It's clearly pity, and Sakurai hates Yoshi so much he decided to remove a colored alt for a super duper special acknowledgement of his current games. He's the ****ing devil, I tell ya.

On that note, I can't help but think that while Verg, Hitagi and company seem more or less accurate (right up to November 1st), something doesn't add up in what they said recently. I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's the fact we don't know who the SE and Bamco characters are (if any), yet Minecraft content is somehow easier to find.

I dunno. I don't recall if DLC was leaked this early last time beyond Ryu being known literally a day before his reveal, not months earlier.

Pretty sure Luigi was the butt of the "Everyone is Here" joke. I think he was the only character to be attacked/damaged during the showcase.

Silly you...We knew about Roy and Ryu the DAY the 3ds update for Mewtwo dropped. They were the worst DLC secret kept ever. Which was months earlier

"Stop worrying over about a fictional character...... even if it's one that influenced your life greatly" You must be fun at parties...

Also, that CSS is only because of the OG 8 theme, which in comparison to them Yoshi is left in the dust still. If the starting characters didn't involve the OG 8, you'd think he'd be a starter?

One additional thing about playing the game in Mall of America today: I was player one and the Nintendo worker had to physically select the character I chose for me to avoid the risk of me pressing b and checking out the rest of the game. THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING, I TELL YOU!

Isabelle is going to be stupid good, maybe even Ice Climbers level annoying
That fishing pole and rocket are going to be nuts.

She even has the slingshot and turnips. Isabelle is gonna be insane in the hands of good players.

EDIT: Her forward tilt looks good too.

Something else that just occurred to me with the Square Enix character...what exactly was the method through which Sakurai got in touch with Nomura?

I just looked up the interview with the two of them, and it really seems as though those two discussed the idea. There weren't any higher ups involved in the initial discussion, but just Sakurai and Nomura.

The only reason I mention this is because, well, even if it's Square Enix getting another character, how do we know it's not Sakurai going through Nomura again? If that's the case, then either Neku or Sora might be looking pretty good right about now.

Well, Sora is always going to be probably the BIGGEST pick from Square at this point, but he's also probably the 3rd party with the most substantial hurdles to leap over.

I really do hope the Square Enix character is the one revealed at VGA, not because the wait is killing me but because I think it would simply be absolutely amazing for that event.

"Biggest crossover in gaming history. Oh, by the way, we're adding Sora"

Also, to anyone trying to respond to by saying "X character is not used in promotion either" save your breath
Dude just stop. You're acting like a child because your favorite character doesn't get to show up in advertising for a game he's been in for the fifth time in the series. I'd like if Lucas were used at all in any of the cg trailers because Mother 3 is one of the best games ever made, but I'm not going to throw a hissy fit about it.

Between this and getting upset over them 'not using the Crafted Yoshi skin correctly', you're getting upset over literally nothing. Your character is in the game and got updated in multiple ways. They by no means are 'obligated' to use him in the promotional material.

Little Mac attacked Wario and destroyed his bike. Then taunted him.

Hey, it's been a while. Speculation there was a blur for me beyond that one guy who thought Pichu would be the last DLC in 4. Not everyone has a photographic memory.
