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.

That's only how they appear in the in-game sprites, Amano's design is more..uh..realistic?
Though he did no artwork for Chocobo in Final Fantasy VI, he did do artwork for Final Fantasy V, which used a similar aesthetic for its sprites as FFVI did...and is much better then the bald pterodactyl-chicken design found in Final Fantasy II..

FFV

FFII
If we're going to go by how characters looked in chibified sprites, then Terra wouldn't really look how she does in the Dissidia Final Fantasy series, her in-game portrait art, nor the original designs by Amano but rather by the Chibi Sprites done by Tetsuya Nomura.

Some Chocobo in the Final Fantasy have a more anime aesthetic, yes, like in Final Fantasy VII, but most of the time they are meant to be more realistic as opposed to more cute and cartoony like the Chocobo series version of the character is.

Square-Enix, similar to Capcom, doesn't have a mascot..they do have mascot characters, but that would be the trio of Chocobo, Moogle, and Slime..any of them could be seen as Square-Enix's unofficial mascot similarly to Capcom's unofficial mascots being Mega Man, Ryu, and Servbots from Mega Man Legends (seriously, they cameo in more things then Mega Man or Ryu at this point).

Yes, that is true..and I do believe Sakurai would actually have been more likely to pick Chocobo then either Square-Enix or Nintendo, considering he likes off the wall choices, whereas business minded Square-Enix and Nintendo would be more likely to try and pick a character to advertise a series or new entry such as Dragon Quest XI or Kingdom Hearts III (which would be Disney's final decision, but SE could want to advertise it since it is a big name game for them), or even another popular character like 2B, a mainline Final Fantasy character, etc.

I'm really, really not trying to be a dream crusher about this..I'm just trying to say not to expect something that, at least to me, feels very unlikely..the Chocobo series has never been a huge money making series regardless of how well Chocobo as a creature is known and beloved.

I'm a simple man.
I see 2B, I like.

You know, in hindsight, that's probably not the best way to go around doing things is it? I could probably get myself into trouble one day for liking the wrong post without reading what it's really saying.

Well, it's true. People will bandwagon with popular SmashBoards characters if they think it'll make them more likeable, regardless of whether or not they agree.

Happen's all the time.

I was merely making a joke designed to incite laughter within those who read it.

It feels weird looking at Smash For roster after Ultimate. It feels small and that thing has over 50 characters! Crazy.

Honestly, I would rather be disliked for not thinking a popular should get in Smash than to get 10 likes everytime I posted a mindless comment lying about how awesome and cool I think that character is.

Smash 4 was easily, my favorite Smash game, but Ultimate is looking to blow it completely out of the water... Every character returning on top of a couple new additions, is definitely something to say the least

Like I said before, we'll just have to wait and see who the SE rep ends up being in the end. So I'm just going to continue with my strong desire for Chocobo to be the chosen one against all odds stacked against him. I believe in the cute yellow feathered fella~

Hey, I’d keep one as a pet.

Smash 4's trophy description advises you to not have one as a pet

No matter how cute he is, don't think that you can love him and take him home--his next form is lizard-like with a sharp tail, and he has no problem turning his caring owner into a tasty snack

According to Hitagi, the rumored DLC is as follows,

Steve from Minecraft
Square Rep (Seems to be from Dragon Quest)
Nintendo owned sword user
Bandai Namco character
Another Western Third Party (Probably not Rayman or Banjo)

Still waitin' on the Great Ace Attorney and Investigations 2 localizations.

Literally just free money... sitting on Capcom's shelves.

Yeah, they're kind of stupid that way.

Lord knows, as they tried to hype Ace Attorney fans up for this year as something big....and all we got games wise are ports..... yeah Phoenix Wright fans could really use Smash throwing us the fighter bone.

And knowing Capcom, they'd love the extra revenue off from DLC as well.
