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.

Imagine this

It's the TGS and SEGA takes the stage. They announce that they have a few announcements to make, and it starts with a trailer.

It's a Japanese city, and an Italian mafioso lookin' dude is talking to a man in a white suit, telling him about some sort of illegal trade. Things start to get heated and the man in the white suit is revealed to be Kazuma Kiryu! It's a new Yakuza game!

The Italian mafioso stands up and cracks his knuckles and Kazuma Kiryu runs into a drop kick, which seamlessly transitions Smash Ultimate, him dropkicking Mario or Luigi.

KAZUMA KIRYU BRINGS THE HEAT
I'd like to see that. Too bad it won't happen though.

So in hindsight over the Detective Pikachu Trailer.. Anyone else get Deadpool vibes from Pikachu?
I mean... it's the same guy...
What do you expect?
Is it bad that I absolutely love the idea and execution?
No, The movie looks fine, it's just that some of the Pokemon look a bit off for me. Especially Jigglypuff... Pikachu looks great though...

They can argue that all they want.
Doesn't change the fact that the costume is DLC ITSELF tied to the Fighter's Pass.
What sense is there for Rex to be a costume and a fighter in the same set?
I'm just saying the music further deconfirms not only him, but anyone from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 altogether.

No Nia, no Pyra, no Mythra, no one.

For Xenoblade fans, it's literally Elma or nothing.

Is it true that Hitagi mentioned something about a sword user that is from a Nintendo IP? I saw an image of them posting comments about it but I'm not sure of it being legit.

Also, off topic, but in a similar vein to not having played TWEWY, has anybody played Dragon Quest XI? I've never played Dragon Quest and the art style has me quite interested. Thoughts?

Y’all have been missing my sarcastic *** point.

All I was saying how when I logged onto here first thing in the morning, I saw 50 brand new pages and I got an adrenaline rush thinking something big happened.

Only to realize that this thread went into a huge tangent into joking about Grandblue and Katalina stuff.

That adrenaline went straight down into the drain, so I got into a pissy state... sorry I made it sound extremely rude, I was being extremely sarcastic and showing how mad I am when something like this happens only to find out that we were off topic.
I understand anger can get us all. I accept the apology.

I most say, I am glad you missed the discussion earlier today if you hate filler because this thread fell into the deepest madness.

Please play Dragon Quest as a franchise, but curse the composer for being a colossal ****

You know, now that I think about it, if my boi didn't appear in the Mario movie I wouldn't mind. Seriously, of all the characters whose voice acting could go badly , it's him...
All he would say is his usual “Yoshi Yoshi” stuff, and nothing more than what he already says
I mean... it's the same guy...

They did Mime and Jiggs the way they did them on purpose

I'm starting to warm up to the Detective Pikachu movie. I still really don't like most of those CG abominations Pokemon, but at least Pikachu himself is starting to grow in me. I'll admit that Mr.Mime scene did get an actual grin out of me, so the comedy writing at least seems good enough.
Going to bring up the context behind the hate. The reason most people hate illumination is that its image is not healthy for the industry. Their movies are safe (never taking risks) and average. They are also relative cheap to make. They are also making it in the business incredibly well with box office records. If they stay like this, it could end up changnig the industry since why should the competition try hard when its easy to make lots of money without having to make amazing cinematic classics?
This point I can agree with. Illumination films could be a lot better. However, concerns with the industry as a whole aside, I still don't think and average movie equates to being a bad one. All people ever talk about when worrying about the Mario movies seems to be "but what if Minions appear in it", which I don't think it's a valid concern. People seem to be more worried about the reputation of Minions then with Illumination's quality as a whole.

The real reason I'm not worried about Mario is that there's not a whole lot to screw up. Mario stories, for mainline games at least, are as barebones as they come. It's not like, say, The Lorax where they can screw up the original story's darker tones. If they make a generic, lighthearted slapstick story like they do with everything else it'll still be true to Mario.

I admittedly don't like Illumination that much either, but I don't think they're an exceptionally bad choice for a Mario movie. Now if we were talking Zelda or Metroid or something, then I'd be concerned.

Ive had friends who told me it was good but I only really played the first three Dragon Quests thus far... I can tell you the first one is Grinding: The Video Game, is that any useful information to you?

I don't think DQ XI is out in non-Japanese regions yet.

A Dragon Quest character does not seem that off to be honest.

Indeed.

At, least, I hope Nintendo tries to keep it as quality content. They usually are very careful when they let others handle their IPs. And I am fine with not everything being a cinematic classic. I think Illumination can make great movies, they just need to try and take a few risks here and there.

That's not true, no.
Yes it is.

He said he allowed himself to hint at this since there a basillion of sword users.
A sword users from a Nintendo Licence as DLC and he's himself not familiar with said Characters however.

And Apparently there a chance that there is a list of 5 Characters for DLC who might be the final one, but no way to say if it's true or not yet by his own words.
