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.

I'm sorry what? That's bull**** there, if he was successful, and then he would be insider that tried to leak some things but will get fired shortly from nintendo when he was caught leaking some private informations related to future games.
No like, I’m pretty sure he admitted in a tweet he adamantly defends everything Ninty does because he wants to be a community manager for them

You know what?
Why the **** does Square still own Geno?
Nintendo is an infinitely bigger company. It wouldn't cost too much just to buy rights to A FEW ****ING CHARACTERS. Oh, especially those that ARE ONLY IN A ****ING MARIO GAME.
Bring Geno, Mallow, Booster, etc. to Mario Kart!

Anyway are we all pretty much in agreement that a Fire Emblem rep is pretty much a given?

Who here is an Edelgard main?

The plus side of making this post is that if I'm right, I'm right, and if I'm wrong, then I get my preferred timeline. Not that Edelgard wouldn't be nice.
No, no we aren't.

I've been arguing that we won't get any unique FE newcomers for a while now and I stand by that. Not unless Edelgarde or Byleth or someone has some insane dragon fang-esque trick up their sleeve that they've been hiding that means they just have to be in Smash, but even if they do, I still doubt they'd add another FE character regardless.

Sakurai has commented on FE's larger roster count in an interview about Corrin in the past so I personally imagine any new FE characters would be really low priority.

I don't think it's guaranteed to happen. There's a lot more at stake with Gen VIII and MP4 (because let's be honest, Metroid doesn't have the best record with sales), so I'd predict Nintendo would be more concerned about those two than Three Houses.

Besides, Corrin exists thanks to Sakurai's staff, not Nintendo. We don't know where Nintendo stands with FE and Smash.

Always wondered why Geno never became a recurring character in the mario series. He has a very unique design and fits right in with the cast, and could very well work as a character in all of the sports spin-off titles.

Didn't Stealth claim that he and Vergeben are part of a Discord server of leakers, and that Vergeben was just getting his info from there? Lmao.

By the way, can we get "You May Call Me Father" from Bayonetta. For both epicness and memes. But mostly for memes.

Must be the same server with MTP and the Grinch.

Bayonetta has the same track count as Smash 4 as of the August Direct. Make of that what you will.

Mallow is better than him and still didn't become one I have absolutely no idea.

I know, but I was looking forward to the wonderful surprise of seeing Palutena's Guidance return when I went to the stage and tried it.
You weren't looking forward to it very hard if you hang out in the general smash discussion thread.

Ehh... I don't think Geno blends in with the Mario universe very well at all.

Personally, I think he's better off sticking to SMRPG.

If that was true, you would think they would all kick him out of that server with how all insiders hate him don't you think? :4pacman:

If anything, after looking at Ultimate's Classic Mode more and more, I honestly see this as the best Classic Mode we're probably ever gonna get in Smash.

After four/five games, "just choose a character," randomized battles with some bonus game and Master Hand at the end has gotten a bit tiring. Not to mention doing it with all the fighters made it kinda grating a bit, so I'm VERY glad to see that every single fighter has a specified route and actually has purpose.

Even the bonus game looks a bit cool, mix of Board the Platforms/Race to the Finish/etc. I'm also very happy that at the end, Master Hand isn't always the final boss, rather bosses like Galleom and Rathalos are, which makes me hella excited to play as Simon/Richter in Classic Mode when I fight Dracula at the end.

So many good changes that I'm very happy with.

Yeah, but getting rid of Master Hand entirely? That's gonna be a yikes from everyone.

Hey Papagenos has your MS source heard anything more about Banjo? Just curious man, love your videos
im not putting a ton of faith into it myself now that minecraft/steve is being talked about so "certainly", but i havent heard anything new from the supposed microsoft source. i still think banjo has a shot at dlc but until this microsoft source gets something right im not taking it as a "leak" rather just a rumor. my direct source (the prson i trust who told me about their microsoft source etc..) is also wary about it these days as we have heard nothing new or anything about minecraft one way or the other

Something to note. Apparently Cloud was THE last veteran to add to the roster. Square Enix is known to be stingy, but this is interesting to note.
Also if you look through Stealths tweets, 700 Spirits is the total and there are No Square Enix Spirits out of the 500 known.

And before some goes 'But GENO!!!' They were shown as a battle icon for online NOT a Spirit.

Things are getting interesting.
I wouldnt be surprised that SE was stingy and was one of the companies that Sakurai mentioned that required work. If I had to guess, I am sure the Pokémon Company was another one of those.

Hard to work with? Maybe. Stingy? No.

Yeah but what else could they do with him

They gave him a Left Hand Counterpart in Melee
They chained him to the Story mode boss in Brawl
They turned him into an Eldritch Horror in 3ds and Wii U
They turned him into a Dungeon in Wii U

What else can be done?

Nah, I don't think TPC has been an issue. They aren't that stingy. We've already seen plenty of Pokemon as spirits...not to mention stage cameos and pokeball summons. Heck, I'm pretty sure every Pokemon to make any sort of a appearance will be getting a spirit to.
