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.

Generally it's usually just underaged-looking anime girls, and that's how I've grown accustomed to it.



This right here is the problem, it's just straight up favoritism lol
I'm gonna laugh to the sky when they get in after being made fun of for wanting those two characters, that's for sure.
But even still, your argument is kinda boiling down into:


"This series has something I don't approve of, so it shouldn't be in"


Instead of, you know, arguing that it's a mobile game with basically NO Nintendo presence.



I love Granblue, and even I think it getting in Smash is ludicrous, but being a prude about some of its character designs is stupid, because by that logic, Corrin shouldn't be in due to Camilla or a handful of Fate characters, or Palutena because she pole dances.

It's not that you want Pyra/Mythra/Rex in Smash, it's that you're making fun of character designs by the guy who did FF Tactics, while stanning for designs by Saitom
Oh no trust me, I do outside of Smashboards.
A lot.

It sucks. :/

To be fair, I didn't even know that was the case, anyway.

Smash ****ing sucks because you still can't play as Virion, who should be playable in every game where it is possible for him to be playable in mechanically

Wait, so you're going off of my original post, which was a ****ing joke?

Shroob, if I'm posting a picture of Scott, you should know OUT OF ALL PEOPLE I'm ****ing Scottposting.

Hey guys what's up...

*Sees that people discovered the Draph race in Granblue*
*Sees something Fortnite*
*Sees conversation on Fates*

Oh this can't end well...

The Grinch leak too more than it gave.


It took our trust in leaks and insiders.

It took our trust in our own eyes.


It took my sense of humor.

Yes but it gave us people that acted like they always cared about Isaac.

Even then, man, come on. Now you see why I put up this semi-Scott persona, at the least. Practically my views and wants are uncontrarian around here, so I might as well put on a good face.

Oh jeez
OH GOD
OH IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE.
You've never heard of Eiken?

I can't remember if Eiken is the result of a notoriously pervy Mangaka either saying "Screw it, I'm doing things my way (re: Busty girls)" or if that's him actually showing restraint for once in his career.

Either scenario is hilarious to me, tbh.
Oh my god I just skipped to the latest page thinking "Whatever, nothing important happened" and what the actual **** is going on
Granblue happened.

That's what.

Alright, I had to run time-sensitive errands so this is why my responses are pretty late. It's also the reason why my earlier replies were rushed. I'm sorry for that. Anyways...

I'm pretty miffed at Starbound Starbound @Tougon Nekoo Nekoo Hydrualic Hydra Hydrualic Hydra vaanrose vaanrose Will Will and Professor Pumpkaboo Professor Pumpkaboo for not addressing the question I raised, which was "why is Yoshi not a higher priority in Smash promotion." Instead, you were either dismissive, tried to dilute the point, mocked it or tried to make it about me (which admittedly worked, though that was cause I was rushing my answers as I stated).

The only user in this thread who even ATTEMPTED to answer the question in good faith was Noipoi Noipoi and I'm beginning to understand why he's considered a diamond in the rough.

My thinking is that if I were the promotional team for Smash, and I had to whittle the cast down to 20 to use in promotion, then Yoshi would definitely be in there. Yoshi not seemingly getting recognition in relation to his popularity was the crux of all my frustrations but none of you seemed to get that, ganging up on me thinking I wouldn't settle for anything less than "Yoshi being front and center of all the ads."

I'm beginning to see what FreeFox FreeFox was talking about. This is the second day in a row where you used a person's passion for a character against them without taking things at face value. I get the (hopefully wrong) impression that the vast majority of you sees passionate fans as freaks who can't function in the normal world. If I was like most people I'd leave for how toxic things are getting, but I'm not most people. I can handle being ganged up on for merely doing what I do.

Now, I'll ask this question one more time, and if you can answer in good faith without being a smart***, being dismissive, trying to make it about me or diluting the point by saying "but my character wasn't in the ad," then zip your lip

"Why is Yoshi not higher priority in Smash promotion then he is?"

If there's a franchise that deserves a fighter at this point, it's Rhythm Heaven. Being 100% honest.

Changing subject for another dumb "What if" bit of DLC trailer


Wario, DDD, Ridley and Bowser are all in their bases, looking over their treasury. A sudden change in the lighting and they turn, only to see nothing. When looking back to their treasury, they find something precious gone. All of them freak out and a single note falls from the ceiling.

Because he's just not higher priority.

There doesn't have to be a particular reason to it. They just don't care as much to market Yoshi.

Whether you're miffed or not, you DO realize what a brat you come off as when you continuously whine over your favorite character not showing up more, right?

Reminder that the character that was supposed to wield a rifle based off the model kit Sakurai bought still hasn't shown up. Elma as DLC confirmed.

As a massive Yoshi fan, myself, I think it's likely because he's still seen as a sidekick to Mario in a lot of ways. His own games have been successful, but that perception of him from the general public likely won't change for some time.

I can't wait to see Smash fans losing their mind over Panther instead of focusing on Joker.

So to sum things up, I think it's safe to say this is what Smash players really want in their newcomers based on today's events:


Man, what a day.
Smash is just part of JD's daydreaming.
