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.

Is this Wuhu? Why is the stage starting there... I had kinda theorized that we can start transformation stages at any part of the transformation (Bowser's character trailer has what looks to be Hazardless Castle Siege 3rd stage where it doesn't transform usually)., that'll be really neat if it's the case.

Aha, I knew they'd still bring back Giga Bowser as a boss, even if they changed Bowser's Final Smash.

Now the question is if it's like in previous games or if it's a reworked "Master Giant" type boss like I've been hoping for.

You first fight with regular Bowser and after his defeat, he turns into his Melee form.

At least it's understandable why. They'd have to re-license multiple characters' voice actors to make it work. A quick general one being set up just in case was the best one could do on a tight budget. It sucks, but was a fair thing to do.

True, but as PP's a sort of pseudo-DLC character who isn't being sold as part of the fighter's pack, maybe they'll be treated differently

Pls let me dream: I just wanna see how Pit and Palutena react to Piranha Plant, Or, even better, what Snake & friends make of it.

Downloadable Content is still Downloadable Content regardless of the context lol
No pseudo about it, it's DLC.
And will be hard to beat in terms of reveal quality imo

I hope Metroid can still get a boss. We had three different boss Ridleys we could've ported over, but now that he's in Smash, I'm not sure if we'll get anything.

I mean, I certainly can't complain about the Metroid representation in Ultimate, but boss characters are one area where Metroid excels in.

If Ike's Classic Mode does not end with Black Knight, I will be very disappointed.

True, but Piranha Plant's already been started and may have been intended for the base game until they were delayed for time constraints. Not saying it's definitely going to happen (probably won't), but they could have had the time to record guidance voice clips. Plus, as PP's first party, there wouldn't have had to be any legal wrangling so it could have been bashed out relatively quickly

Palutena's guidance is back!
WHY wasn't this shown in the direct?

Can same be said for snake codecs?

And as for bosses


Holy crud there’s probably a truck load of bosses added even Giga bowser is a boss like old times

Who else could we get In as a boss

But ugg only a couple of hours for a average player.

Someone posted a video of Mario's classic mode and we can see Giga Bowser there.

It's the latter, he works like an SSE boss.

Oh dang, RIP the Titan-sized Giga Bowser boss dream then. I love boss fights in 2D platformers that play with the 2D perspective like Master Giant or Yoshi's Island Baby Bowser, but oh well.

I honestly don't think he'll get the Rathalos dual boss/trophy treatment, Smash Bros bosses tend to be giant sized and the BK doesn't seem to have the full moveset of a boss. It also seems like he'd be really easy to cheese with projectiles, unless they gave him his shockwave attack.

Besides, I think they would have mentioned him being a boss during his reveal.

I could imagine the villains on the roster pulling double-duty as bosses with all-round buffs to make them more "challenging". Definitely a shortcut to add more, but it doesn't sound too out there.

So I checked some vids that were shown earlier, and Thanatos is a spirit too! And that Rathalos battle!

You know I'm starting to think the way Ultimate is shaping up to be is doing two things;
-To incorporate a small part of or at least reference each of the previous Smash games (I'm still trying to figure out the 64 references)
-To try to have you try each character at least once, and this seems to be a potential case with Classic (with everyone being different) and World of Light.

If that's the case, then Sakurai's a genius! Let's be honest; we'd often prefer to play as the characters we like, but looking at the stuff now, we'd have to try other characters out and explore new things. It might actually work to help me find new characters I'd like to main or second.

Did I mention I love how that Rathalos battle looks?

Lol Spirits are pretty damn great of a concept tbh
I'm totally 100% on board now. I think my initial reaction to them was just a "but trophies" reaction but I realized I dont think I ever cared too much about em
Spirit fights are neat

*watching GameXplain's 10 minutes of WoL, where they're fighting Metal Sonic, literally Sonic but he's metal and starts with a jetpack*
