Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Codecs and guidances are probably a thing of the past sadly but I really want to see them return. I also get a kick out of Gruntilda’s slam poetry.

But man....I would love to hear some Sheogorath commentary if we ever get Elder Scrolls Content. Probably Skyrim version and not Oblivion.

 

[Luigi The President]

Hopefully they fix all this in a patch.

Don't think so. Would be the same as admitting they didn't "polish the game enough".
Not true but likely what people would say.

I don't know. It seems like he clearly wasn't worked on much around his reveal time, but that doesn't mean he was a late addition. Echoes may have been decided upon very early this time. This is notable with Richter. He had to have been decided upon almost right away, due to how licensing works. It's likely that he got chosen not just because of the whole "moveset being similar", but trying to get the licensing for multiple Belmonts was difficult, so he went for one instead, making the licensing easier.

If this is the case, it makes sense to decide the full roster just as early on. He may have chosen the Echoes around the same time besides Richter. All were fairly easy to make, and were popular. For all we know, Richter was the only one chosen somewhat later(around when they started worked on licensing out Simon and the Castlevania materials). It is possible Ken got licensed a little later, but it makes more sense he got chosen immediately. The other few Echoes were all 1st party and super easy to choose, especially since the ballot showed how popular they options were.

There's a good chance the full roster was chosen super early with no late additions. In Chrom's case, trying to remake the Final Smash was a low priority because it took too much time to make all new models. And again, it worked right for the purpose. Maybe at one point, he intended to, but realized it already fits.

Chrom could have been added later if they felt like they were ahead of schedule and thought they could add another echo to the base game.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Hmmmmm

All those spirits

Not one is geno from all of those spirits

 

[kirbsmash]

Incineroar is leaker bait

why do people gets that idea?

 

[Deleted member]

Hopefully they fix all this in a patch.

Patching the victory theme would take no more than 5 seconds to do. Assuming victory themes are set up the same way they were in Smash 4, take Lucina or Robin victory theme. Control C. Control V. Rename to Chrom's. Done.

 

[praline]

Hmmmmm


No geno sighting from all of those spirits

I thought they clearly showed a Geno spirit unless it was a fake to make people think he had no chance to be dlc?

 

[SuperSceptile15]

Incineroar fans have the right to gloat after getting a lot of hate in the past, but I can't really buy the claim that Incineroar has always been an underdog since Day 1. It's gotten way more love than the Popplio line. Primarina didn't even make it into Pokken OR Smash.

It's an online icon, I think.

 

[Kuon]

If Daisy doesn't say "Hi I'm Daisy" in one of her taunts I'm boycotting the game (not really)

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Can we just point out the fact that they're making another confusing af move, just like in Sm4sh.

8 player Smash is a thing so...let's make some echoes! .
"Shouldn't we make one more?"
"Nah, nobody would want to do an 8-echo Smash.

Just like nobody wanted to do an 8 DLC Smash last round...

I really hope we get some bonus DLC echoes oustide of the pack. Tails chief among them. Yes Sakurai could make it work, and I'd be incredibly happy with it.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Have I been missing much? What's going on now?

It's not like nice round numbers have mattered ever. We've got 59 assists.

Use Dr.Mario since people kept calling him an echo.

 

[Blargg888]

I'm pretty sure it has already been confirmed that she doesn't.

 

[Iridium]

She doesn't, though.

Don't worry, Smash 6 in 2025 will add more echoes, so we can have an 8 player echo smash then. We just gotta wait seven years. No big deal, right?

 

[lightdrago]

Dr Mario is more of an echo than Ken tbh

 

[Kuon]

I'm pretty sure it has already been confirmed that she doesn't.

Welp, back to Melee

 

[Deleted member]

Or Isabelle.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Hmmmmm

All those spirits

Not one is geno from all of those spirits

Ok, but the game isn't even out yet.

Like, Geno is 99.99% a Spirit.

 

[Will]

Hmmmmm

But we've seen it???

 

[Kuon]

She doesn't, though.

Guess I'll be playing Peach once again then (jk)

Sakurai would never end on an unhype character. Geno's the secret character that shows up to save the day at the end of World of Light.

 

[Iridium]

Seeing 0 spirits for FF as of right now makes me a bit uncomfortable. Obviously, we probably just haven't seen the ones that do exist, perhaps.

 

[Kuon]

Or Isabelle.

I hope they don't actually think she's somehow an echo

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Let's criticize some Fire Emblem designs

Such as:

Spoiler

WHY THE EVER LIVING ****, DOES A FEMALE GENERAL IN FATES HAVE CLEAVEAGE ON HER MEATY FLOPS IF THE ENTIRE POINT OF A GENERALS DESIGN IS TO BE FULLY HEAVY ARMORED?! I MEANT WHAT A WHHAT?!

Cause Sexy?

Ruined forever for me, so I'll ruin it for you

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Why

 

[Deleted member]

When she was revealed, some did.

 

[Will]

Or the composer has Sakurai at gunpoint because he secretly owns the characters too or something.

 

[kirbsmash]

GameFaqs is sure funny.

 

[Kuon]

Exactly. I mean, Shulk was obviously the most hype character of Smash 4

 

[staindgrey]

Exactly. I mean, Shulk was obviously the most hype character of Smash 4

And Olimar was the most hype character of Brawl.

 

[Kuon]

When she was revealed, some did.

Yeah, but I mean as of now I hope people still aren't saying she is

 

[Will]

Exactly. I mean, Shulk was obviously the most hype character of Smash 4

It's amazing how Smash makes you go from "literally who?" to "oh god not this ****** again" in a span of 4 years with how Xenoblade is nowadays.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

I'm inclined to believe there actually won't be any, as sad as that is.

 

[Kuon]

What's wrong with Xenoblade nowadays? Shulk just wants to feel it

Nah there’s probably nothing. Square gave the bare minimum with Cloud. 1 stage, 2 songs.

 

[Deleted member]

She doesn't, though.

Inkling girl better say Woomy and Inkling boy better say Ngyes or this game is instant -1000/10.

 

[Will]

anime *******, man
they're everywhere

 

[Kuon]

And Olimar was the most hype character of Brawl.

100%. If Olimar is not your main in every game since Brawl then...
