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 think we over think the "criteria" surrounding newcomer picks and that they get chosen more on a case-by-case basis.

I doubt Sakurai was like "Piranha Plant is Mario's most iconic enemy, he absolutely needs to he in Smash". He was probably more like "Haha, wouldn't Piranha Plant make for a funny and creative fighter? He's iconic enough, I'll bet we could make it work". But I suppose I'm making my own assumptions here.
I think Petey Piranha being a SSE boss might have helped separate Piranha Plant from Goomba, Boo, and other generic Mario enemies. For all I know, Petey may have originally been planned to return in World of Light as a boss before Sakurai said, "...Hold on a sec, I think I'm on to something here."

But that's just another crazy fan theory. I'd laugh if it ends up being the case though.

Hold on a tic... I'll admit I have no experience with the Metroid franchise to make any statement on canon, but logic would lead me to assume that Samus voyages places that have very low gravity. Unless of course the canon material actually explains why she's floaty.
The point is that her floatiness in Smash replicates how she feels to play in her home series.

Oh great, now you went ahead and reminded me about how Darkstalkers is never gonna be a thing again outside of crossovers...

Personally, I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation!

Any thoughts on Villager and Pichu's (Or other characters') new changes on their alts? (I love Villagers' alts so much now )

I really liked Pichu's new alts (especially flower) and it's nice they gave Villager alts with dark skins. Tuxedo Mario looks good but I likely won't use him or any of the Link's alts. And Robin looks much better with new hair colors.

Shulk changing his hair color with each alt to better represent each party member is so good

Builder Mario is godly and definitely my go to Mario skin now.
Shulk hair color changes is perfecto, I might use more than just the Fiora alt.

This is ****ing me up because I just read the newest updates of Kit's Nuzlocke and his Eevee makes this exact same pun.

You know, I wish Nintendo would make a superpower game in the same vien as Infamous or Prototype. That would be rad as hell.

I love builder Mario and Team Aqua Pichu is 100% the best costume ever.

I am really feeling the loss of Fire Mario and Black Yoshi though. Also the loss of Mario's Wario colors instead of Waluigi, and the fact that we lost Jumpman from Sm4sh. Also that Link's Fierce Deity has gotten way worse that before as well...

Pichu's got some great alts, not gonna lie. But the king of the alt game is definitely Bowser Jr given that he managed to bring in seven other characters through the back door.

One day the "Only the Best is Good Enough" trophy will show up and I can change my postbit back. :p

Seriously though, did Mac REALLY need a Hoodie Wireframe alt? He shouldn't have lost his Major Circuit colors.

Fact: You can say any fanbase of any one character is a “vocal minority” and claim that the majority of fans want another character over that character and people will believe it no matter what.

But I'm like the textbook definition of a vocal minority. I'm VERY vocal for Boshi and not very many people want him :yoshi:

Add Mega Man Legends 3 finally getting released and Golden Sun 4 being announced, to that list...
