Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Nekoo]

Let me guess... Smash got entirely shafted...

Smash got shafted because it went out in a weird period.
Too soon for any category.
Too late for anticipated

 

[Untouch]

Let me guess... Smash got entirely shafted...

It wasn't eligible yet.
Doesn't seem to be a most anticipated award up yet, and the industry leader award hasn't been announced.

 

[Deleted member]

TGAs nominations are on.
DQXI got a nomination for best RPG (to no one's surprise), wasn't a most anticipated category.

If it wins best RPG, whooooo boy it's gonna be one hell of a ****show.

 

[Nekoo]

Honestly the real ****show is if KHIII ain't on the most anticipated list and it's only Western **** that will be out in 1/2 years.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly the real REAL ****show is gonna be how pissed I am when Celeste doesn't win Game of the Year.

 

[KingofKoopas]

Dorito Awards. What did you expect.

 

[Opossum]

I don't know why people seriously expected Smash to be nominated when it literally doesn't release until a day after The Game Awards.

 

[Deleted member]

Why does everyone call it the Dorito awards

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly the real ****show is if KHIII ain't on the most anticipated list and it's only Western **** that will be out in 1/2 years.

The question is how the hell has it not been in that category before? I mean, I guess because of "lol what's a release date" but still.

I'm also probably gonna bet that Smash Ultimate will probably be snubbed for next years VGAs.

 

[Raxxel]

Is Octopath in the Best RPG category? Not that I think it deserves that award, but I'm curious.

 

[Pakky]

Spoiler: Death Battle Talk

Goku vs Superman would probably be a no contest. If it were an actual cross-over, they'd probably start fighting until something more important comes up that leaves the fight with no result.

I also think they tried to claim Super Saiyan God was "mysticism" and not "magic". Here's a question, would Stephen Strange's spells not work on Superman then? Because that's mysticism (and in certain continuities, not considered "magic").

I'm not saying Superman wouldn't still win (because he probably would). Superman isn't necessarily weak to magic, it just effects him the same as any other person, if Super Saiyan God could be considered magic, the only benefit this would provide Goku is that Goku would be able to damage Superman like a normal person, but this doesn't mean Superman can't... you know... fight back.

That is until Goku resorts to using Destruction Energy (which he can do in the DBS manga), and atomises Superman.

Spoiler: Death Battle talk

Ya'll know that Death Battle ain't nothing but mouth farts most of the time right?


Witch Time being beat by Quick Sliver from DMC? Alright fam.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Is Octopath in the Best RPG category? Not that I think it deserves that award, but I'm curious.

Yeah, I think I saw it there.

 

[Nekoo]

I just realized..
>Dragon-Quest vs Octopath Traveler In RPG category.

So... who's ready for a Bravely Default Characters if Octopath win? #Agnesleakwasreal

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Here's something I noticed:

If LeakyPandy is to be believed (lol). Marketing for SE is worried that their game will lose to a Western game at the VGAs, the way their statement is worded it makes it sound like there are multiple western games in the running.

The thing about the Best RPG (the category Dragon Quest is in) category is that only one of the games is Western. 4/5 of the games are Japanese.

Do with that what you will.

 

[Deleted member]

They should pull a Smash Ultimate for MvC4 at the VGAs

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

DQXI and Octopath are both for Best RPG

guys, help, I love them both. What do

 

[Arymle Roseanne]

That would be great though very difficult to get all them in one game.

Vote both just like in the ballot

Because the game is just that great, obviously.

Yeah, but speculation is fun. Power-scaling too when done responsibly.

I don't actually know enough about DMC to be able to say anything about Dante's victory over Bayonetta, please enlighten me,

Oh you'd best believe I'm ready.

Anyway, folks--since we're at an impasse with believing/disbelieving Hitagi and (let's be honest) are just here to kill sometime until the 7th, a little game: If your most-wanted were to get in, what stage, music tracks, and (for the hell of it) Spirits boss and AT would they come with?

Stage

• Temple of Earth

Music

• That Person's Name Is
• Conflict's Chime
• Wicked Flight
• Horizon of Light and Shadow

Assist Trophy/Trophies

• Edea
• Alternis

Boss

• Orthros

If they were hoping to win Game of the Year, they had absolutely no chance at all. The games line-up this year, while a bit scarcer than last year, definitely held up last year's insanity.

But then again, we are talking about someone who steals Spawn's sources so yeet lol

 

[Captain Fun]

Haven't played Octopath so I can't comment on it but DQXI was great.

Thanks to remind me.that Bravely's OST is sex for the ears.

Also I'll be sad if we can't get the 4 Main characters as one Characters with alt with one colors each if they have a job change Moveset since they're all "the same"

You don't need to know anything about DMC, just know that Bayonetta once punched the God and send her soul flying to the core of the sun. From Pluton.

It's a possibility like Bowser Jr., but I'm not sure if we have a precedent for characters getting completely new taunts/victory poses per skin. I don't think you could faithfully layer the same kind of personality over each party member since they're all so distinct. (Though if we could, I'd happily take each character with their Default/Second appearances for a total of 8 skins...)

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I wonder if there is a way to cheat the system and vote for two things

From what I remember them saying, it's because it would be a "political move" against the game, not exactly a Western game, which is why everyone assumed they meant Dragon Quest.

Did they say something new?

 

[KingofKoopas]

Yeah its called a VPN

They also suggested that they didn't know the nominations yet, they only said that DQXI's nomination was "likely", not confirmed.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't know why people seriously expected Smash to be nominated when it literally doesn't release until a day after The Game Awards.

I don't know why people care about the awards so much. TBH they don't really matter all that much.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Geoff Keighley the Doritos Pope?

 

[Deleted member]

The Game Awards is a bit different. Award shows would usually just announce nominees.

VGAs announced Bayonetta 3.

Can't help but feel a tiny bit interested.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Flip a coin

It’s time to tip the scales

They don't matter but they're fun to watch.
You don't watch it for the awards themselves except to make a drinking game bet.

You watch it for the memes and announcement

i just wanna see Nintendo win things...again

The VGAs won't matter until game companies start putting the accolades into their marketing, which they probably won't do.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

LeakyPandy just said that SE thought the game would be snubbed because of political reasons/controversy, obviously referring to DQXI. And it is indeed nominated, and probably won't win, although most people could have predicted that.

 

[Deleted member]

The only thing that this year's VGAs has done right was having Josef Fares as a nominee for Best Moment 2017.

****ing deserves it.
