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 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.

Hilarious seeing as he said he heard nothing about a Nintendo character the day before
He just explained that he say "didn't heard" or "nothing" for everything until he's not 100% sure that it's confirmed.

Him being excited about a rumored DLC he knows about doesn't contradict himself. It's a rumour and he's not confirming it. Just that rumour excite him

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?
Sword users from Nintendo games, hmm? I think I have a list of those.

Oh hey it's Princess Hinoka and her buddy, Coldsteel the Edgelord!

Sword user narrows almost nothing down, it's the most common weapon in all of fiction (even if spears were the weapon most used in real life)

Really? I thought they looked awesome. I thought they found a good mix between real and cartoonish. Sure, I didn't expect the fur on many of them, but I find their designs appealing regardless. Charizard looks badass, Greninja looks cool as hell, and Pikachu is freaking cute.

I hope to see my bois Torterra and Lucario appear.
Honest question. Am I really in the minority when I say Mr. Mime is not creepy at all? Seriously, all I see is people talk about how "terrifying" he is, be it in the games or this new movie.

I for one really like his design as I find him goofy, and pretty adorable at times, like in the anime. I feel like this movie nailed him (and most other Pokémon), especially with all his facial expressions.

So tell me, why does the whole internet seem to have a problem with him?

Cuz he looks like a clown, and the whole world decided to conspire against clowns.

I low-key want Addam + Mythra more than Lora + Jin lol, as long as we get "the cooler Rex" with Mythra then I'm all for it.
Addam was too good of an MC for Xenoblade 2 main game so he had to be DLC

It's like Monolith forgot how to make a good MC after Shulk with Rex before finding the instructions book at the end of the development,so they had to make a DLC with the only purpose of Making the whole cast Better than the main game.

Freddy is confirmed for DLC. Don't take my word as fact, but I'm about 86% sure.

:4luigi: "Ey Mario! We're gonna be in a movie!"

:4mario: "Luigi, don't you see? They're whorin' us out for money! We didn't get any say in this!"

:4luigi: "I dunno Mario! I've always wanted to be on the big screen!"

:4mario: "We already were, Luigi. And it was terrible."
Don't think I'mma let this attack on the Super Mario Bros movie slip by.

The movie's core problem was it's desire to turn a trippy kid friendly fantasy adventure into a dark Blade Runner style dystopian story, but within that new (misguided) context, the movie actually goes to great lengths to try and justify and adapt a lot of the weirdest elements of the game.

Mario can jump really, really high? They justify it in the movie by giving him those jet boots. The Princess looks completely human, despite being a native to the Mushroom Kingdom? That's what the convergent evolution thing was there for. The super mushrooms that power up Mario become the ever present fungus that repeatedly helps get Mario out of trouble, and the late film revelation that the fungus is actually the former King transformed is taken right from the plot of Mario 3, which is all about saving kings that have been transformed into different creatures. And of course, we can't forget the best joke in the movie, where we find out Mario is actually Mario and Luigi's last name, to justify the title of the game itself.

And my personal favorite moment in the movie, the part that I think is the single most clever adaptation of a ridiculous video game concept to film, the frozen pipe slide. Think about how absurd it is that Mario and Luigi travel through pipes. How do they just magically fly through them? The movie could have taken the easy route and just included a scene where they walk through some pipes to sneak into the castle or something, but no, the movie fully embraces the warp pipe and creates a fun action scene where Mario freezes a giant pipe, hops on a mattress and slides down it like a slide. I don't care who you are, that's fun.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this movie 'great', but I also think the people who call it terrible are way out of line. The movie is, above all else, fun, and that's what makes it good.

No Pokémon unsettles or scares me, honestly.
To stay on topic, DLC is very hard to predict. I mean, only a few leakers or less were able to guess Piranha Plant.

Lora except she is the simpleton instead of Mythra.

Because he's terrifying, in an uncanny sort of way...

Speculation is cancelled. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Golden Freddy are all the DLC characters. Never ask Sakurai for anything again.

Fire Emblem has the most characters in Ultimate out of any universe that doesn't have a starter character, with 7. This marks the first game where all FE characters are unlockable since Melee (Ike enjoyed status as a starter for two games, Marth and Robin were starters in 4 as well).

You know, I once wanted to make a JRPG, but now I don't. The whole JRPG buisness is a ****-show, especially the absolute insane fanbases of some JRPG series.

Hard to blame them.

Incidentally, my boi's series is the only one where all the fighters (read: one) are starters...

I think he looks kinda cute. Of course this is the opinion of someone who thinks deviljho, shuma gorath and the aliens from the alien franchise are cute.

Mr.Mime is weird because it's the first 'too human' Pokemon. It hits that uncanny valley place for a lot of people.


Hitmonchan and Jynx have enough to make themselves look different than a human being, but Mr.Mime is juuuuuuust human enough to be unsettling looking.


Imagine you were in the Pokemon world, and suddenly encountered.....that. It had been slowly following you for god knows how long, completely silently, and you turn your head and see a human-like creature out of the corner of your eye.


****'s creepy.

Mr. Mime is not human at all.
Have you seen Jynx? Jynx is one of the ugliest Pokémon in the game and it does fit that "way too human" list.

I wouldn't give up on a dream because it's industry is crazy. The cartoon industry is kinda loony, but i'm still gonna get in there somehow. I need to make animated projects, it's my calling, my reason for living. I'd be nothing without my drawings.


Also, I kinda want a crazy fan base. I wanna read terrible fanfics based on my stuff :laugh:

To be fair, you don't exactly fulfill the "J" in JRPG.

God I'm mad heavy on the Elma train and I really don't like XBC2 base but I love these designs so much to the point that I'm actually going to download Torna shortly just to play as them. So, like, I'd be so totally okay with this.

Also, :ultlucas:is the only fighter in all of Smash to encompass all three statuses (starter in Brawl, DLC in Smash 4 and unlockable in Ultimate)
Not to mention the 4th status, nonexistent in 64 and Melee (but barely on the latter)
EDIT: Deleted bit, I quoted something twice by mistake?

We must have faith.
So, a recap of the confirmed video game movies coming soon.
Live-Action Detective Pikachu starring Deadpool.
Mario movie by Illumination
Live-Action Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
A Monster Hunter movie, also Live-action.
A Metal Gear Solid movie, also Live action I think.
And of course, a Live-action Megaman Movie.

There's a lot of videogame movies coming out.. Did I miss any?

EDIT # 2: I've recently been informed by my sources (the internet) that an official Minecraft Movie is also in the works.
Tetris is getting a trilogy...
I wish I was joking...

You better make a "city of clipsville" episode out of it or I will be terribly disappointed.
