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.

Favorite ATs are Shovel Knight, Black Knight, Alucard Knight, Zero Knight, Dillon Knight, Nikknight and Knuckles.
I really like the ATs this time and I'd hope you could use them in some way other than annoying interruptions in a fight.

**** I'm terrified as I sure as **** don't remember what I wrote for that one
Eh, you just said he is a constantly taunting Chrom and this is the best game ever and I fall from my chair while laughing.

We unlock Mario first. We also know the next character we unlock depends on where you go on a forked path: Either Marth, Sheik or Villager. If you choose Sheik, you unlock Mii Swordfighter next. Villager -> Captain Falcon. I can't remember who is on Marth's path.
Mii Swordfighter can be the third character you unlock? Really?

Hope it doesn't take too long to unlock Dark Samus. I bet she's probably in a corner of the map most people will never bother to reach.

Try me *****
I kind of regret not getting any recordings for my reactions, especially the game's first one, I guarantee you I'd have become a meme for all the high pitched squealy noises and ****ing collapsing after the whole thing
I planned to record my reaction to the August 8 Direct, but I didn't get good sleep the night before and the Direct was early in the morning, so I was too tired to remember. Boy do I regret that now. It's not every day when the character you've wanted for 11+ years just materializes on screen, with the only thing preparing you being the few notes of the Metroid remix from the website.

Though really my reaction was just me shouting "OH!" while jumping out of my seat and then pacing around the room.

I remembered to record the November 1 Direct, but I didn't do or say anything interesting, outside of freaking out when Chibi-Robo, my other most-wanted character, was shown as the first Spirit and when he was shown as a Mii costume.

Many Japanese players didn't touched Metroid but you don't see them whining because of it got four characters.
I said "People should be happy with who Sakurai adds" but I UNDERSTAND people not liking them. Not advocating complaining/whining about them. I don't like them, but I haven't really whined about them.

Yeah but tbh I kinda like the Miis so I'm not too heartbroken by it.

I suppose

How do you plan to travel through this fearful lands without a gallant knight by your side?

(Anyway, I hope we can customize Miis during Adventure Mode. If we can't, eh, at least their base looks are really cool now.)

I plan to make a mad dash to Isabelle.

Zephiel?

I mean he looks cool but he definitely ain't a smashing antagonist for me.
Oh, he's no superstar, but he was a perfectly good antagonist to me.

Isabelle and Incineroar may not have the same popularity as someone like Ridley, but you'd better believe that both casual and hardcore fans alike know who they are. For that reason alone, I think they were two of the best choices Sakurai could've went with.
Isn't this backwards? Ridley is almost "literally who" tier when compared to Isabelle and a Pokemon.

Good FE antagonists? Arvis, Lyon, the Black Knight, and Ashnard come to mind for me. Rudolf too (if you count him) was fairly decent for someone that came out of a 1990s NES game. I'd take any and all of them in Smash, since they'd all represent fairly unique fighter types.

Good plan, can I copy from you? None of the starters are really my go-to choices.

Though, I guess this is a good thing, it encourages people to try out different characters.
I certainly agree. I believe Isabelle is to the right of the map, so that means the quickest way is either Villager or Shiek...

Are you kidding me, the children love Ridley and how he would probably kill and eat their parents before doing the same to them.

I feel like this was directed at Isaac and Geno supporters.

His line of thinking isn't wrong though. Even if virtually no one asked for Piranha Plant, it's iconic as heck, meaning that more people will be able to appreciate it being in Smash. The niche characters that we want aren't being ignored and shunned. It's just that they honestly can't hold a candle to some of the other more relevant, more iconic additions. Those newcomer spots are limited, y'know.

Isabelle and Incineroar may not have the same popularity as someone like Ridley, but you'd better believe that both casual and hardcore fans alike know who they are. For that reason alone, I think they were two of the best choices Sakurai could've went with.
This same line of thinking would work very well in Chocobo's favor for sure. Chocobos are very iconic and relevant! So both casual and hardcore fans alike would be able to appreciate him being in Smash~

I've literally been stressing the peak FE antagonist choice for months now.
Let's talk about why Gharnef is literally one of the most slept on Fire Emblem characters.
View attachment 177166
Villain? Yes.
Recurring? One of if not the most.
Sword? Hell no.
Following? You can't defeat Gharnef.

Okay that's enough of me fanboying over old meme icons.

Wow, I am surprised by that. I dont know if I think this is good luck or bad luck. Thanks for the info on Magnus!
No problem
Why is Ken's theme in this game so damn good? Who decided that?
Sakurai
Yeah but Guile's Theme not being in Smash 4 was a crime. Now it's every beloved non SFII theme like a certain Arabian dude from the new one
Guess they wanted to save the best Street Fighter song for the most Ultimate game

I think you may have misinterpreted my post. I was saying that Isabelle and Incineroar weren't as popular as Ridley, but their iconicness and the popularity of their games allows them to be recognized by fans outside of the hardcore Smash community. Because of those factors, I felt like the pair were good additions.
