Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[ThatOneAnon]

Sm4sh would’ve been the highest selling game of the franchise if it wasn’t on the Wii U. So I expect Ultimate to be the highest selling game of the franchise.

It technically is. When you combine the sales of two versions, it sold better than Brawl.

 

[Cristaran]

They keep pumping out these tier lists

Poor Male avatars, always getting the short end of the stick...

I don't know, Smash 4's single player features lacked compared to Brawl. Smash Tour was miserable, Classic was lame, and there was no Adventure Mode. All 4 really had going for it was that it was a new, HD Smash game. None of its unique features or innovations we're really noteworthy in the end, except Omega forms for stages.

Ultimate is bringing back a new Adventure Mode, at least, which has generated a ton of buzz even if it's not as big as SSE.

The "new" adventure mode is looking like smash tour with makeup, though.

...have you actually played Smash Tour?

 

[Deleted member]

Very very late on this, but I was making a joke. I apologise if you were offended by it.

It wasn't funny. At all.
Don't make that kind of joke again.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

It really isn't. Aside from travelling on a map and raising stats, there are no similarities. Maybe you need to take a closer look?

Only if you're blind and literally have no idea what Smash Tour or World of Light is.

 

[DevaAshera]

Not to jump on the bandwagon..but its really, really not.
Smash Tour was a not-very-fun Board Game, World of Light is an RPG-style game with Smash Matches in place of typical RPG battles.
They are not even remotely similar outside of a similar camera angle.

Sarcasm is really tough to detect on the Internet. You should have put a /s next to your comment. That's just my advice.

 

[TheYungLink]

"I'm sorry if you were offended" is seriously the dumbest, lamest apology because it's so disingenuous. Don't say that sh*t if you wanna be cool.

The Ice Climbers would never say that to someone else. Because they're cool.

 

[Zinith]

That really looks like Smash Tour to you?

Well maybe from a distance...

Edit: damn, ABC apparently doesn't want this video shown here...

 

[SgtCephalopod]

I can understand somebody not knowing what Smash Tour looks like considering nobody even played it.

 

[ganondorf_22]

I think I’m gonna wait to see who the dlc are before I get this game. World of Light is the only thing I’m really interested in about this game so far, and I don’t think that’s worth $60. I came back into this forum saying we didn’t need any more characters and I stand by that sentiment, especially after seeing everybody new in play so far. Nobody really excites me of the new folks, even the smash 4 dlc that I never bought before (everybody but Ryu). I just bought Smash 4 for 3DS back when it came out, and so far this game doesn’t seem sufficiently different from that one, so I’ll just carry on with my memories of that for now and watch Yeet Smash as I’m able to to get my fixings for now.

It's weird, considering how many people complains about it.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

It's tiiiiiime for the META-HOUR with MEEEEEEEEW2KING!

For those interested, here's some quality analyses of 7 newcomers. Really, really good work by M2K as usual, goes straight to the point, he's concise and clear and as a result, most of the vids are relatively short but packed with info.

Tbh watching these got me even more hyped for certain characters especially the Belmonts. The videos are titled ''competitive breakdown'' but a lot of the info is just interesting to know even for casual players imo.

Is anything already leaked? Saw some screenshots but I thought that had no information.

Once

 

[ZephyrZ]

Spirits theorizing is kind of driving me mad.

"Spirits might deconfirm characters, so anyone who's spirit hasn't been spotted yet has a higher chance of being DLC".

Okay, but how likely is that when we both don't know if they actually deconfirm characters and haven't seen the character in the game yet? This really is just like the music theory. Trying to guess the next newcomer based on what spirits we've seen relies on too many assumptions to actually mean anything substantial yet.

It's too early to say that Spirits deconfirm characters and they certainly don't confirm them. It's still best not to get too hyped over or expect characters like Elma or Bandana Dee, but that doesn't mean you should entirely close yourself to the possibility of them getting in either.

Anyway, with that rant out of the way there is a chance I'll get to play the demo this Sunday, so I have that to look forward to.

Finally have video of Akuma pose

I wish this was the Akuma Spirit Battle.

 

[ButterGeek]

Did the “trust me on this” leaker that said Bandana Dee isn’t in and Chun Li was cut turn out to be fake? Yesterday that was the main topic of discussion and now It’s some Kid with a coat

 

[Deleted member]

I am finally unpranked! I hope that this makes my experience here better.

With that apart, i want to quickly talk about Streetsmash from 3DS.
While the mode was a weird inclussion, i actually loved to play it anytime i could or at least on the training mode.

It would be cool if Ultimate added on a free update a minigame based on it, just to play when someone is bored, and now with the spirits there could be more icons for it.

Did the stream yesterday have anything interesting in it? Like, a new song or something

A lot of 3DS modes are pretty underrated. Not sure if they'll return but it's nice that people still enjoyed it when it was around.

Even if I wanted to, I used up my prank powers...

 

[Cristaran]

...I might regret this, but what does pranking do?

 

[Fatmanonice]

Honestly, the only similarity is the "game board" and that's about it. If anything it and Spirits mode are Events Mode on steroids which is awesome because it has always been my favorite single player mode.

Have your username turn pinkish-purple and change your title to "Pranked!"

That's it really...

If it is possible, i would like to know if using Stage morphing on these options feels cool to play on:

-Brinstar/Brinstar Depths
-Brinstar/Norfair
-Mushroom Kingdom/Mushroom Kingdom 2
-Onett/Magicant

You don´t have to try every mix, but i would like to know at least about one.

Oh, i see, i thought it was something worse, like changing up words on your posts or something.

I fear that pranking makes you look worse towards the other users... As if they never take your post in a serious way.

I could be wrong, but i prefer to prevent pranks just in case.

I consider pranked people to be really cool tbh

I wish someone would prank me...

Some users actively ASK to be pranked because it makes them look special

Molgera from The Wind Waker has a new remix. That's about it, I think.

Thank you, then.

Mystery has been solved

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I remember getting pranked once a few years ago. I never found out who did it, or why they chose to prank me.

Finally have video of Akuma pose

It's weird seeing Yoshi punch in his victory animation, when he never punches in gameplay.
