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.

True, and though it goes against the character, you could've just slapped the hat on Pikachu.

But if Nintendo/Pokemon company wanted to promote their biggest foray into movies in a while?

Welp. It's certainly possible he could be a weird DLC Pokemon choice to be released near or alongside the movie.
No echoes as DLC :troll:

Seriously, they probably didn't add a Detective Pikachu alt because he can talk, and he can't use attacks. He's an entirely different character.
I know hypothetically you could just slap a hat on him and call it a day but maybe they didn't want to misrepresent the character.

If video game movies are coming back then I want a Punch Out movie. I was watching Creed the other day and it made me realize that it would be a good idea

He wouldn't be an echo though. If they stayed true to the character he'd....do something, but it wouldn't be what normal Pikachus do.

Which makes me wonder if the movie version will keep that since he threatened to electrify the lead character.

Mii Costume made a ****ton of money for 4 tho
Are there numbers somewhere? I'm curious.

My reasoning was that even with my more casual friends I don't know a single one who actually bought a mii costume at all or even played the character. Even online I don't really hear much.

meanwhile Pichu has now joined Smash's roster of villains after joining multiple criminal gangs

I think that it was pretty obvious that I was joking

Yoshi appears at the beginning during Mario's big smash
I dont have my slomo player right now- so I'm pausing and restarting.

Hmm... I see Palutena, Sheik, Wolf, Mii, Dedede, Lucina, Ganondorf, Richter, Duck Hunt, Corrin, Wii Fit, Ryu, Yoshi....
Anyone else I missed in this opening sequence (also Either Marth or Chrom- I think Marth but why does he need to be here twice?)

We werent told this.
We were told that the paid DLC was all original.
We could easily get free (Or online service members only) echoes.

If there's ever a smash brothers movie, Pikachu should look like how he does in this movie.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Because it's so goooooooooood
Well...
I'm actually surprised. This actually looks somewhat... decent.
Hopefully the final product will end up like this.
And we'll finally have a video game movie that doesn't completely suck.

Impossible, some people say they prefer alt costumes for other characters, it means nobody bought them.
I bought them.

Kinda wish I didn't, though...

Yup, expect an utter lack of Smash Bros, unfortunately
It's more about which potential DLC characters' games will show up anyway. Nobody here actually expects the game to get an award before it's out. :4pacman:

Is it possible we could get something from LGPE into Smash? Other than a DLC Eevee #teamEevee
Either Melmetal or Team Rocket.

There was an ace attorney movie?
Oh yes, from Japan, no less.

Also, the first MK movie was decent, it's Annihilation that was a hot mess.

I can only hope that in five years, Kevin Feige surprise announces that the movies starring Mario, Pikachu, a soon to be Link... Earth's heroes, destined to unite, to save the world from a hand of mastery...

I bought a few of them... but, given that some of the DLC costumes seem to be returning included in Ultimate (costumes like the Falcon, Chrom, and Smash T-shirt costumes have been spotted so far) it might’ve been kind of pointless in the long run, ahaha... just like most of Smash 4’s DLC then, if you think about it...

If Miis are indeed fully usable online this time, DLC Mii costumes will be a much better value than in Smash 4, though.

OH and after Isabelle, I now see my bud K Rool.

It could be worse, at least it wasn't two hundred million costumes like for Dead Or Alive 5, heh.

I really want to see the Detective Pikachu movie but I'm sad because I don't have anyone who will want to see it with me >;[

Gotta say, almost 3 hours later, the fact that I was the only person to "like" this post is a crime.

Literally one of my favorite smash memes this whole speculation cycle.
Probably because laughing at Marth having clones was funnier before continuous exposure for almost years.

To bring this back to Smash (since, you know, the mods said so), I'll just say this.

I better not hear any of you call for Greninja's cut in the next Smash game due to "irrelevance."
:p

If they do cuts again I'm suing

I feel like I’m alone in thinking that the Pokemon in the movie look really, really weird.
