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.

Nintendo also currently owns 10% ownership of the Seattle mariners.
Guys, I think they’re in.
Ahh yes, Seattle mariners, y'know, a game company
Very different situation, you know it.

So you're telling me there's a chance about Djeeta?

It would finally let us find out which one has the most nonsensical lore of all.
Yes, I Am!

tbh when the thread gets annoying or too weird for me (which say something) i typically click the little x in the tab and do something other than continue to read it
I’m sorry that not ALL of us can have free will. Some of us are physically bound to this thread y’know.

Katalina doesn't deserve to be in Smash for these simple reasons:

- Only popular in Japan.
- Not iconic or heavily recognizable.
- Not a character directly tied or funded by Nintendo at the same level of Bayonetta.

I have no problem with her design and potential moveset, but the pure truth is she doesn't deserve to be in Smash until:

- Granblue is massively popular in countries other than Japan.
- Katalina herself becomes more recognizable.
- She becomes someone who has closer ties to Nintendo.

I mean the "not iconic/heavily recognizable" thing feels like a cop-out. Even though Bayo has heavy Nintendo ties she's still a third party.

My tier of trolls in the gaming industry:

1: Hideo Kojima (because of the Konami’s Tears thing, MGS2’s marketing and the details that he adds to his games).
2: Masahiro Sakurai (almost over Kojima due to Piranha Plant).
3: Yoko Taro (“to be a good developer, you need to do the opposite to whatever the fans ask”).
4: EA (killing franchises and fooling consumers to buy loot boxes).
5: The Kaizo hack creators.
Yoko Taro lied, I couldnt **** 2B my keeping Nier save-file.
Why Yoko Taro. WHY?!

Except, Nintendo is now actively collaborating with Cygames. They made Dragalia Lost, already a big Nintendo IP, together. They also have a 5% stake in Cygames itself.
Bubsy has nothing like this


GOD DAMN IT KIRBSMASH I AM TRYING HERE NOW TALK ABOUT KATALINA WITH THE CLASS
Just because they're actively collaborating with them doesn't mean the chance of the character being in increases. You're setting yourself up for disappointment and you're gonna reply with mentioning the grinch leak to try to trigger me to hide your inevitable salt when she isn't in.

How does it not??? Nintendo working with the company = already strong relations, if they trust them enough to make an entire new game with them.
I...literally wasn't gonna bring up the Grinch leak at all. Damn Jacob, thought we were cool, but alright, taken. </3

of course it means nothing when the context is stripped away from it lmfao
I mean, the argument was presented as such,

I don’t see how I’m stripping away context, I’m just arguing against the specific point that Nintendo owns stock in Cygames. The arguments are tied together, certainly, but I don’t see the problem in arguing against one of the points.

I don't see Ed Boon on that list.

Bayonetta is so closely regarded by Nintendo she was marketed as a Nintendo character alongside Peach, Toadette, Zelda/Tetra for Women's History Month.

She is classified in internal documents as a Nintendo product when discussing earnings.

Nice try, but Bayonetta is practically Nintendo's. They control that franchise's future more than Sega ever could.

If they in the unlikely event they get bored with her. The franchise is dead because you can't very well sell Bayonetta 4/5/6/whatever on a Sony or Microsoft system without people being able to catch up on previous installments that Nintendo completely owns.

So you may say cop out. It's really not. I'm sorry you grew attached to this little character but she's just not worthy right now. She's not a bad character because of that, but she's just not worthy.

they are collaborating with CyGames AND they made dragalia lost together AND they have a stake is what the argument was
if you isolate the stake without any of the other important parts of what sets this apart from the damn football team and see it as a rebuttal idk what to tell you haha

more power to ya

But nobody deserves to be in Smash in the first place.

Saber is gonna get in the game and there's nothing any of you can do about it. She'll be the first female character in Smash to have canonical nipples.

Skip
Can't wait to completely replace her with Sader

Sakurai has no sense of humor.

- The Smash Fanbase Who Is Always Wrong.
No Sakurai has a sense of humor, its just that the only thing he finds funny is the suffering of *insert most wanted character here* fans. That's why he made assist trophies. /s

Thread's going so fast no one insulting me will realize I pulled a pre-Ascension Graizen and drove this thread firmly back to discussing why or why not a character could be in Ultimate. The smartest game I've ever played.

Convince me I'm wrong, and I'll change my mind
people keep saying "you're only setting yourself up for disappointment" as if people actually care if that's happening, when in reality it's a really awful cop out of a conversation

almost nobody's gonna be disappointed for more than 5 damn minutes holy **** lmfao

sincerely,
-someone who still isn't disappointed after doubling down on several wrong claims for fun

I just want the Pokéball controller, but the pack with it and the game feels like a better deal to me.

Should i pick the game just for the Pokéball?
