Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

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

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 don't hate the Mii fighters like some people do (I don't get the hate for them at all), I just think it's odd that you'd unlock one so soon, instead of, you know, Link, Samus, or someone else more popular. Having a non-character appear so early is an interesting choice.

World of Light will probably be the first thing I do when the game comes out. I'll stay up all night and kick Galeem's ass with Kirby, R.O.B., Dark Samus, and Ridley.

Though I'm pretty sure that if Galeem just asked her, Dark Samus would be down with the whole "Kill everyone" plan.

Anyone know when eShop pre-loads unlock? Is it at 12 AM for every timezone, or would it unlock earlier than 12 AM if you live in a timezone west of the East Coast or something?

 

[Opossum]

You're trolling aren't you?

Black Knight is the only good FE antagonist.

Hardin is great though.

 

[osby]

I will play multiplayer with each of the 8 starting fighters

You all, what's the first thing you will do with this smash ?

World of Light.

are popular characters that a lot of people are familiar with. I guess they'll try and go random after that to nudge people to play as characters they normally don't.

EDIT: Also people who tried it says it might take long so I don't know if one can finish it in a day. I'll certainly try.

 

[Bee Card]

wrong...there’s also

The true villain for FE is cause playing him and not the female version is like a crime.

 

[monadoboy]

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.

Ike was an antagonist for a couple of chapters so technically he's our FE antagonist.

 

[MainJPW]

Who in the current roster has the best shoes?

Look at the detailed scuff marks on Falcon boots.

Spoiler

Michael Jackson's Bad shoes.

Spoiler

Mario's wedding outfit shoes are clean.

I know I’m a little late on this, but I’m glad that a non-classic Megaman game is getting a remix in Smash Ultimate.

Now that Megaman 9 has a remix, I wonder if 10 will be getting one as well.

 

[Will]

Boohoo, I'm not playing your "canon" Corrin if the other one exists.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Boohoo, I'm not playing your "canon" Corrin if the other one exists.

If Female Corrin is Canon, what about Robin?

 

[Foulds]

boot up the stream, unlock all the characters as fast as I can and then begin the quest to unlock elite smash.

"I’m actually not paying too much focus on the surprise element when we introduce a new fighter. The surprise element quickly fades once the announcement has been made.

Rather, I believe it’s important to have a good balance as a game. In the past titles in the series, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. and Duck Hunt Dog were some of the examples we offered outside of people’s typical expectations. However, if we don’t have these types of fighters, and we only had typical “hero/heroine” type fighters in the lineup, there’s not much difference. It’s probably not very interesting. Correct?"

I can already hear the cries of fans complaining about "WTF character!" and "only added for shock value!"

Well, he has a point. The character needs to have value besides "Shock".

Did you visit the Isaac support thread after last direct? It wasn't very pretty.

Of course it wasn't. Isaac is the favourite of a lot of people and had just been disconfirmed.

Let's say more than one person blamed Sakurai of personally insulting them. For starters.

Pre-orders being cancelled and one or two people conspiring to try to usurp Ultimate from any GOTY polls it gets featured in.

Is this any worse than when Wolf, Ridley and K. Rool were disconfirmed for Smash 4?

Not only that, but those were snap responses and within a few hours everyone had calmed down.

Watch me breaking the law, breaking the law.

 

[Pyra]

Boohoo, I'm not playing your "canon" Corrin if the other one exists.

the true crime is how aggressive this is

 

[Will]

If Female Corrin is Canon, what about Robin?

People point to guy Robin, people point to female Corrin, I don't think it really matters in the end it's just an avatar.

the true crime is how aggressive this is

Aggression isn't a crime it's how you put your foot down

 

[Moydow]

can we just agree that Corrin in general is non-canon, I've seen better main characters in fanfiction

At least they're pretty interesting in Smash, though.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

On a side note, Nintendo actually makes really good mobile games.

 

[Arymle Roseanne]

I prefer male Corrin thank you very much, female Corrin is so overrated.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

First thing I do when midnight strikes in 15 days? Well that's easy, World of Light until I fall asleep/need an energy drink

 

[Wyoming]

Yo Sakurai just roasted all of us that want a character from a unrepresented playable series that aren't a big name.

Damn it that includes me. Don't roast meeee.

 

[Deleted member]

the only canon alt is beach twink Shulk

y'all mfers KNOW this mans went ham on Zanza and the took a quick swim at the beach

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

even tho they are both dumb as bricks

 

[Raxxel]

Cancelling pre-orders and having a couple of people making plans that they won't carry out to sabotage a useless awards poll is hardly "rabid". Jesus.

 

[NextChannelGames]

I haven’t been on here since page 7810...

Lots to catch up on. Anywho, Goku is a Spirit!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I don't think anyone got the joke

Spoiler: Awakening Spoilers

Robin is the final boss, Grima. Don't ask me how the **** that works, I only know this because my older brother loved that game to bits/

I don't remember a worse reaction then disconfirmation of K.Rool. But still, I was a little ashamed of supporting Isaac.

no, bad writing don't make something non-canon

First thing I do when Ultimate releases? Pick up the game from the shop, remove the game card from the box, insert it into my Switch, and then turn the Switch on and boot up the game. Kind of hard to do any of the stuff you lot are talking about if you don't do any of these things first. :p

when i found out about this the other day i got pretty excited
pretty damn happy Goku (yes, this one) is in the game

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If Female Corrin is Canon, what about Robin?

i think Male Robin is the canon one
girl is just there

you know, Like the female P3 protag. shes just there and not canon

Haha look at this nerd, buying their games physically

 

[ReeseBalaski]

Good FE villains? The Black Fang in general, Lyon, Walhart, The Fates siblings that aren't Azura/Sakura/Elise, Duma, Rudolf, and Berkut are my picks.

EDIT: For clarification, these are my picks from the FE games I've actually played.

 

[osby]

i think Male Robin is the canon one
girl is just there

you know, Like the female P3 protag. shes just there and not canon

Persona Q2 begs to differ.

It's not that she's non-canon, just most games follow male protagonist's timeline

This made me happy. Legit no lie.

Arguing and whining about FE again? How nostalgic. Makes it feel like 2016 again.

Also, female Robin is the best FE character on the roster next to Marth.

People are actually just discussing the series and its villains. I'm not seeing any whining here.
