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.

Just got up, any sort of recap post?

Yeah, like many others, I'm gonna dip out of this thread until the game launches. I'll stick around the individual character forums as more information comes out, but I'd rather not know everything about the game before I turn it on.

what if Porky doesn't have a spirit because he is in his capsule ? and it's just a joke

Spirits are made by Galleem, Porky became a spirit while being in his capsule

there is no reason Porky would have been made a spirit if he is in his absolute safe capsule, i think it's according to the canon porky to assume that
It's just normal to not see Porky as a Spirit, he couldn't be made a spirit
And also, he already have his stage and musics

So what his DLC would bring ? Nothing

A.G.L. A.G.L. kept saying this, but I really didn't expect Square to be that stingy about their stuff.
Who skips a Smash opportunity? :/
I did a little more research on Square's content when it comes to their characters appearing in other games. They follow a pattern so far, that I had not really realized until I looked into it some more.

First Cloud in Super Smash Brothers Wii U, he was a DLC character. Cloud came with, two costumes, a stage, two songs, Chocobo Mii outfit & a Geno Mii outfit.

Next is Noctis with the Assasins Creed festival, vs. the small appearance Final Fantasy 15 had in Assassins Creed Origins. In the Assassins Festival Ubisoft clearly gave away a lot, they gave costumes, hidden blade mechanics and even added a whole mission to Square. Then you go to Assassins Creed Origins and all you get is a small appearance by Ardyn and you get Noctis's Engine Blade. Its clear here that Ubisoft gave more to Square, than Square gave to Ubisoft.

Now onto Noctis in Tekken 7, surprisingly Noctis only comes with two songs. He comes with Apocalyptis Noctis and Stand your Ground. Much like in Cloud's situation Square again is being very stingy with their music. The only other content that Noctis came with is his stage and when you bowl in Tekken 7, Gladio Prompto and Ignis are cheering you on. No other character in Tekken when they bowl has other characters cheering them on, so that is a nice touch. We see here Square is using Tekken to promote Final Fantasy 15 and the fact they had DLC passes going on for FF15.

In Monster Hunter World, again Square only allowed to pieces of music in their crossover. Those songs are Kulu Ya Ku theme also known as the Chocobo theme, and Torn from the Heavens (Behemoth Battle Theme). In addition to two songs, Square also let Capcom have a Behemoth boss fight. And armor from Behemoth and Moogle armor. So in another unsurprising move, Square only gives the bare minimum when it comes to their music and their things. Also Square used Monster Hunter World to promote FF14 Heavensward expansion to Final Fantasy 14.

2B in Soul Calibur 6 is hard to say how much music she will come with as she hasn't been released. However if we follow Square's pattern its most likely she will only come with two music tracks. And again we see Square characters as always being DLC and not part of the main game.

Following all of this information we have been given we can sort of determine Square's guest character pattern. And how much content they will give in terms of future Square characters appearing in games that aren't owned or developed by Square.

1) Square only gives two pieces of music each time, when it comes to characters being in games that aren't theirs.

2) Square will give some of their content to the other game company, but very little.

3) Square will use this opportunity to promote their own games, by cross promoting

4) Square's characters are always DLC and they are not part of the main storyline of that game.

5) The characters from Square used in other games that are not owned by Square. Always represent the company, and are still relevant.

What if Ryu had a love child he never talks about because he's too focused on fighting?

If Porky is in how many people will be thrilled and or upset?
so he's Goku then? (I know he loves hiskids but he's dead] Also, Ryu don't really care about that

Sora gets in right, but you only get half of the character model and two songs neither of them are 'Simple and Clean' how do you respond?

All spirits leaked. Some bosses leaked. Intro leaked. All cutscenes leaked. All mii costumes leaked. All guidances leaked.
Everything but the order of the characters in WoL.

I think images of one of the bosses, havent still been made but we know he exists.

Gotta say, I still think Sylux has nothing going on for him unless MP4 markets him out of the wazoo.

Porky just seems like people going for more villains. He's cool and all but I kinda doubt most people want him for him.

Not gonna lie a fighters pass with

-Adeline
-Sylux
-Porky
-Tibby
-Cross

would rock.
I dig that a whole bunch. I'm not even on the Sylux train but considering the amount of music and stages we would get and how unique they'd all be, that would be awesome.

But my heart would weep for no Stylist.

So basically all take and hardly any give?

turns out this is actually Galeem's theme, and the final boss is straight out of Persona 4 Dancing All Night
We need all the dancing characters we can get.

We already have :ultbayonetta::ultjigglypuff::ultkingdedede::ultkirby::ultpalutena::ultsonic:

Our DLC characters will be: Yu Narukami, Crash Bandicoot, Azura. Shantae and Goro Majima.

Yeah that is a problem and if we add how stingy Square is when lending out their things. If we got Sora we would most likely get, two songs, a stage, a mii costume and of course Sora. However Im not sure Square would hire Haley Joel Osmond to voice him, so we might get another Cloud situation. In where Sora would only speak in Japanese. Its hard to say what we would or would not get as Square is very stingy when it comes to cooperating with other gaming companies.

The two music deal is not true with Monster Hunter World. Besides the Chocobo Theme and Torn from the Heavens, Behemoth also came with Thunderer as the first music used when you fight it for the first time.

So no, it's not always two music tracks only.

By the way, Cactuar is also in Monster Hunter World, as a environmental creature that you can hit to activate it's 1000 Needles attack.

I don't want Sylux and feel like with Ridley and Damus we are good on Metroid reps for now unless Sylux turns out to be a really cool and interesting villain. Porky would be very cool but he's hardly on my list. I do absolutely adore Mother though so Heavily Armed Porky would be sick, especially with a Devil Machine stage. It's more looking at the list and considering that even if they aren't my "most-wanted" they still have a lot to offer in terms of stages, tracks, and movesets.

Out of all the significant missing spirits Style Savvy is the main one I want the most.

And Funky Kong. We gotta get Funky.

these dlc lists im seeing are extremely underwhelming. smash ultimate has taken everything from previous games (excpet brawls over-the-top cutscenes) and enhanced it.
i find it hard to believe that smash ultimate dlc would be limited to to Nintendo only characters and characters that have barely been used in their own games as well.
