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 honestly disapointed that they didn't change yoshi's victory theme, i always felt like it's kinda boring. Also, it's going to take some time for me to accept Earthbound's new theme, I really love the Brawl/Smash 4 one.

I see us getting 16 unique DLC fighters at the absolute most, being PP + 3 Fighter Packs throughout the Switch's lifespan.

That being said, 14 echoes throughout the Switch's lifespan isn't too far fetched.

I'd say a second Fighter Pack is all but confirmed at this point though. There's no way Nintendo will pass up the opportunity for more profit with how popular Smash Ultimate is shaping up to be. My predictions are:

Pack 1
  • Erdrick
  • Doom Slayer
  • Steve
  • Lloyd Irving
  • Euden/Nintendo Promotional Rep
Pack 2:
  • Sora
  • Gen 8 Pokémon/Nintendo Promotional Rep
  • Style Savvy Designer
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Monster Hunter

One thing I think is interesting is that if these are means of future proofing more characters....

Then they left a huge margin of error unless they do the unthinkable and do give us nearly thirty.

So with this many placeholders can we at least rule out that Spirits de-confirm characters?

Because there's no way that even 10-15 or even 20 DLC characters are gonna be able to be people that aren't at least somewhere in the game in reference at that point.

I know it's a meme but I'd unironically roll my eyes so hard they might fall out of their sockets if sans makes it into Smash.

*Cracks Knuckles* Alright, let’s see how many characters I can potentially fill with 29 new slots.

1. Geno
2. Isaac
3. Banjo and Kazooie
4. Mach Rider
5. Chorus Kids
6. Sora
7. Lloyd
8. Elma
9. Lycanroc*
10. Bandanna Waddle Dee
11. Rex and Pyra
12. Spring Man
13. Edelgard
14. Andy
15. Gen 8 Pokémon
16. Impa

Let’s sprinkle in some echoes.

17. Felix
18. Shadow
19. Ribbon Girl

Alright, I added all of the grinch leak characters, *my most wanted, echoes, and some other crap...

I’m only 1/3rd left, my imagination can’t go far enough. Smash is reaching it’s full limit.

Right? Why so MANY placeholders?

Sakurai: I think I can do about 30....maybe.

That's a lot of maybe there.

If sans is confirmed for smash, I'm willing to change my profile picture to my least liked troll from homestuck for one week and maybe change my word color for one week too.

I think Chara would be more likely than Sans simply because main characters are prioritized over side characters. Although maybe this could be another pattern that Sakurai is willing to break.
Chara isn't the main character though, that's Frisk.

And now we have Kris, though something weird is up with them. Sans is a constant in Undertale, and he'd be much easier to make a moveset around.

Well, if nothing else...

The 30 free spaces can be used by hackers to add new characters. >_>

When I was looking for Environmental Noises, I found some Hey! Pikmin music. So that's a thing...

I also reminded myself that the Mona Pizza and Mike songs are back.
Oh my god

As egregious an error as no Body Rock is, this makes it worth it. Some must die so that others may live.

Of course, this is assuming they are placeholders and not just blank spots cause that happens lol

Oh boy wouldn't that be something.
If the 30 characters are mostly unique, then Poochy and/or Kamek are likely. If they're mostly Echoes, then Boshi. I mean, how many viable Echoes could there be before it gets to him? :yoshi:
Many.

Very many.

If even 3rd parties exist, who else would they honestly add without turning it into Mugen?

There’s gotta be limits such as their series being on Nintendo system (series, not characters so don’t bother bringing up :ultcloud:)

I mean what else aside from Banjo, Minecraft, ToS, KH, DQ, Crash, Spyro, Doom, Halo, Persona, TWEWY, Tekken, and MK?

You're telling me that the MC is better than the side character traditionally?
Who told you this?
This is a complete lie?
Lucina does her thing in the story for a few chapters but then takes the backseat for the rest of the game. Chrom is always playing a role in the story. He also has better memes.

What other familiar/ iconic 3rd Party would get in?
The Simpsons.

This game is going to be insane for modding if there's 30 more slots to play with.

Brawl hackers managed to do much with 7 slots so increasing it fourfold is just nuts.

H-how about SMT...
Y'know, one of the forefathers of JRPGS along with FF and DQ...?
I haven't been parading this signature around here for no reason have I?
