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.

Alright guys, I wanted to share this for some time but... I FINALLY TRIED SMASH ULTIMATE... twice... and it sucked.

I tried out both Roy and Ken. The game felt silky smooth, fluid, and vibrant, but I ended up losing both games. Now I’m not sure if was due to my awesome Smash skills since I did lose my 3DS version and haven’t played Smash for 3 months, but the matches were extremely hectic.

The first game wasn’t that bad, but there was still a lot of items flowing around, and I now know a bit on why the Smoke can be a problem since it does cover your view sometimes especially in an item heavy match, but it wasn’t that bad.

The second game though... oh boy. I had a little more knowledge this time and decided to start using shields and not attack blindly, this time with my boy Ken. The match was on The Coliseum from FE.

That match was so unfair. The Final Smash meter somehow had a faster fill rate, and I kept getting Final Smashed by this Incineroar player 3 times in that match (kinda ironic). Not only that but the players were all over the place and there was barely a time I was able attack without getting hit. Not only that, but it was hard for me to do Ken’s Fire Shoryuken that whole match, I don’t think I was able to pull it off once. And this other time when I unleashed Ken’s Shippu Jiranyaku on a Young Link and dragged him to the blast zone, I also ended up dying and didn’t even gain a point. This game hates me.

On the plus side, parries feel soooo good. I’m planning on trying Ultimate again, but this time I’m trying to use grabs more to deal more damage and parry more to get some more attacks in. I want to at least get a win with Ken.

look at his leather gear closely and then look at his damn face.

I know that light simon was designed to be more gay but I can't deal with the fact that red haired simon's face is saying "Am I hot for you?"
You got me there

That's...
That's the entirety of the Belmont Clan though.
They're hot Victorian muscle-men that beat demons and vampires up.

get some help.

All joking aside. I don't understand the high demand for Sans. He's just a side character. Not to mention, if we are getting a UT rep it's going to be Frisk. Sans isn't a main character, or mascot or anything :p
Um....yeah. He is a mascot.
They heavily use him and Papyrus to promote Undertale.

His face is even used for the icon of the game!

It would’ve been nice to have Chronicles Simon as an alt at least. I’m not a fan, but it’s always good to have options.

Castlevania is the Jojo of gaming, of course it's gay

I played Enter The Dragonfly and LEGO Star Wars for DS, so i know what is an awful game and what isn’t.

Ultimate isn’t awful.

Sans is probably the second most important figure in UT lore from what I understand don't kid yourself

Daily reminder that nintendo still treats Sonic better than Sega. (Don't you dare mention mania because Sega only put their logo on it and outside of Some izzuka stuff, Whitehead made the game)

I'm a bit disappointed that that went over your head, but I can't expect everyone's thought process to immediately jump to musical notation.

Ah well.

Interesting perspective.

Since my first time playing Smash Ultimate will be with other people who have never played, it's nice to have some insight on how things might play out.


Also, it's 'Shippu Jinraikyaku'

I never said the game was awful. I was talking about my experience.

This r 2 very different terms.

Nintendo didn’t make the Sonic titles exclusive for Wii and Wii U, if you refer to that.

Because i doubt that you talk about the Olympic games.

Fair enough.

Think they're trying to say their experience sucked due to the Final Smash Meters and abundance of items. Sounds like it was too hectic for them to get properly adjusted.

The fact that literally everyone I hear from says the gameplay feels smooth though (including pros like Armada who weren't happy with Smash 4) makes me feel real relieved and excited.

Personally, while I'm not a huge fan of the lore of the Lords of Shadow timeline...
This design iiiiiiiiiiis pretty damn cool, probably my favorite of the bunch if I'm being honest with my tastes.

One thing I do appreciate about this design is that they justify him being some weird barbarian when the rest of his family are properly dressed gentlemen by saying he was raised in some remote mountain village where he trained literally all the time just so he could beat up Dracula.

Speaking of Undertale, while I get why they went with the silent protagonist in that game, I really wish Kris Deltarune wasn't one. They just end up feeling like waste of space when you have these other 3 charming party members constantly interacting. It's why I'd rather have a character like Sans Undertale as his persinality would be able to represent the type of unique writing UT has the best: meta stuff that ranges from humorous to a dark decinstruction.

I'm in love. Too bad many people hate the reboot.

I don’t know about that.
I would argue that they did better with Megaman than with Sonic.
At least the game isn't ****...at least Sonic has some dignity in smash where there's no twitter, no sanic, no forced Classic Sonic, no bad trends.

You aren’t lying.

I just feel that while Nintendo is doing a better use of the character, they aren’t using all of their potential like they did with Megaman and the Belmonts.

I don't think even one belmont or joestar is gay
jolyne's pretty much bi but that's it as far as lgbt
You literally can't say any of the Joestars or Belmonts aren't gay.
Jonathan died hugging Dio's head
Simon is bara in pure form
Joseph and Caesar is canon
Trevor is a clear case of the Drunk Gay and the only reason Alucard refuses to involve himself with the other Belmonts cause that'd be kinda weird.
Kakyoin laid Jotaro's egg
Richter wears a bandana and that's an LGBT symbol
Josuke and Okuyasu is canon
**** me man that's all the Belmonts I know lol
Giorno "I have a dream" Giovanna couodn't be straight if he tried

I've heard about the Lords of Shadows games. Aren't they reboots on the quality of DmC IIRC?

Quick question: Why does everyone feel the need to put the name of the game they're from after the name of every undertale/deltarune character? I'm pretty sure we all know who you mean.
