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.

Probably better than yours, fam. /S

Though for real, Lyn, Celica, and Micahia are garbage. Azura too if she counts.
That basically leaves Brother ****** Eirika and "Personality as flat as her chest" Lucina

Corrin/Robin suck too

FE waifu? I really am not sure yet, though I do like Summer Female Robin.

I love all of them. You two please stop.
Banging on characters people clearly like is getting nowhere.

Wait, if i’m reading it right, Hitagi is now also claiming Heihachi is in the game?

Damn, I wanted Lloyd. If that’s the case i’m losing big time in DLC.
I'll take things Hitagi never said for 300, Trebec.
Why would the source tell them only that? I'm honestly not buying it. If it's real though, it'd suck, because none of the first party swordfighters really interest me besides Tetra.
I'm assuming that they have a list of more than five characters, and enough of them are first party swordfighters that even if some of them aren't true, one would be in.

No wonder you kept pushing it so much. :V
I would use the term "forcefully nudging." :V

Wanted to see how far it'd go. I just...happened to guess a weird set of things right about the 8/8 Direct and rolled with it.

They didn't have the Ballot then.
Ballot is one of the only things that accurately illustrates what the Smash fandom would buy.
Banjo and Geno for example outplaced Steve and Crash in virtually all fan polls-cry vocal minority all you want it's simply not the case-so that's a point.
Tmk Japan had polls for pretty much every Smash game. The ballot just being the first global one.

I honestly can't tell if people actually hate FE, or if it's the typical "REEEEE aNiMu is bAaaaAaAAd!!!111!!1"

'Cuz for all the hate they supposedly get and for how supposedly soooo terrible they are, both Awakening and Fates sure sold and reviewed well.

Don't mind me, just someone who's first FE was Awakening and is tired of seeing it get so much flack walking through...

Calling BS on that actually.

I never admitted to making it until this very post.
Well, that one's dead lol.

Anyways, our lineup looks something like this as of right now:
  • Square Enix Rep (confirmed)
  • Steve (confirmed)
  • "Nintendo Swordfighter"
  • Namco Rep
  • ???
Based off of this, my thoughts are:
  • Sora
  • Steve
  • Euden
  • Heihachi
  • Doom Slayer
This would be a solid DLC lineup imo.

I just though about another swordsman. We also have Magnus from Kid Icarus. His assist trophy is MIA, right?

Amount of sales doesn't necessarily correlate to the quality of a game.

No one's going to argue that those games sold well, but many would argue that they are narratively and mechanically flawed.

Hey, I actually do have gripes with Fire Emblem. It's not because it's anime, it's garbage anime. :troll:

I guess if nintendo had their way with characters, maybe this guy from that new Dragalia Lost mobile game.

Smash is a good oportunity to bring attention to the new market they are trying to tap into. There is also the talks in the air with Cygames. And this character might be considered a first party character with a sword.

I genuinely dislike Awakening and think that the only good version of Fates is Conquest

Why would Rex and Pyra be a part of it though? Rex's costume comes with the pack.

You forgot Katalina my boy.

  • Rex & Pyra
Does the very fact that a Rex costume is DLC that is a bonus for purchasing a DLC Pack and serves to make up for Rex not being playable not cross your mind in regards to said DLC Pack?

Oh please God no, at that point I'd take Minecraft Steve with a pixel sword.

Man let the Rex & Pyra fellas have their fun. Remember how much **** we got for supporting Incineroar?
That was different.

We got **** because they didn't like the character.

I'm trying to point out how the idea of the character being DLC doesn't really make sense with everything we know.

Only thing that's stopping me from committing to these more common choices is the fact that Hitagi said no one has outright guessed one of the names going around besides Steve. Square's got those seven names or whatever, but everything else seems up in the air.

I honestly don't know what to think at this point besides my strong feeling that both Steve and Sora are in.

I think that's likely because he realized that not that many people care about Sakurai's other franchise. I'm relieved we didn't get any more KI in this game.

I have nothing wrong with Fire Emblem (I've never played, not my genre of choice) but get annoyed simply due to the amount of representation in Smash compared to other games with equal or more popularity/importance. If you're going to add other sword fighters, I'd at least like a somewhat different look like what Shulk provided.

To each their own, I suppose. I thought the newer games were fun, and I'm a gameplay first, story second man. I couldn't care less if the story sucks as long as the game is fun.

And TBH I liked Awakening's story.
