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 mean, if Nintendo skipped out on Xenoblade 2...

...but they keep forgetting that Nintendo wasn't the ones responsible for adding him. Sakurai's team was who chose him.

I think it’s these two details that people keep forgetting about.

Nintendo wasn’t really responsible for the selection of Corrin or the idea of the promotional pick. Sakurai thought of the promotional pick all on his own and the people that influenced Sakurai to work on Corrin was Intelligent Systems and the devs on how Corrin could be a shapeshifter. Nintendo was never really involved and just stuck for the ride.

And then we have Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which would’ve been a big missed if Nintendo did pass it up. XC2 has become big and they seemed to have noted how popular Rex is.

Although I do think that promotional picks are possible, what I don’t agree with is people arguing that Nintendo is willing to composite most of their 1st Party newcomers relegated to promotion and use Corrin and Smash 4 DLC as their example when Nintendo wasn’t that heavily invlolved with the selection of DLC to begin with.

It’s going to be interesting who they’ll go with since Nintendo decided to dip in their suggestions this time, but so far I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom. Nintendo has a lot of data on their hands and some of their potential choices could actually appeal to some fan favorites that people have been asking for. Of course, the worst case scenario is always possible (see Ken and Incineroar) but we still have plenty of time to speculate before the first DLC character pops up.

Samus got a patch, it's called Dark Samoosa.
Now Megaman is the only one left.

At least then we know what to expect though as apposed to having people just constantly being at each other's throats over what character they feel is likely as apposed to someone else because "reasons". At this point I'm just tired of all the god damn drama revolving DLC speculation. I rather just know who we're getting so we can get our feelings sorted about them done and over with.

I don’t like Katalina’s design and the ideas that some users have for her moveset.
She won’t ruin Smash, but i am free to dislike her.

I mean I’ll be real I’d be less upset about Katalina herself and more with the fact that if she were in Smash would be forever associated with a franchise that from what I know has official body pillows of their characters, some being lolis...

Tbh I just don’t know how that would sit with me knowing that fact...

On the topic of Porky & Sylux. I don't think they're going to be DLC characters but perhaps...

There will be a DLC after epilogue story with them as major bosses with their spirits added alongside other new ones. I know Dissidia NT has new cutscenes added after updates.

If I may cut in-Chief is far less violent than Bayo. Halo might as well be rated T at this point.

I wasn't a fan of Bayo's inclusion. I didn't even DL her. A blatant ad by Nintendo that didn't even won the ballot.
So many wrongs with that inclusion. The first in Europe! even if we assumed that was true, why Europe in particular? wasn't it a global ballot? Answer: a blatant forced ad. I just don't get why they had to make a background story for it. Well, gladly I was at choice there. I decided not to DL an ad :p

*checks on boards after focusing on a game. Sees Katalina discussion*
Oh boy, not this again. If we're getting Katalina then we might as well get Flappy Bird in there too.

Honestly ater seeing mah favorite backstabber I'm kinda disapointed on how Smash handles stages.
It would be cool to have more details to the stage to make it more like the actual boss arena.
But the skybox looks quite similar enough tho.

Yeah if Gashapon and Smash could stay as far apart from each other as possible that'd be nice. Fire Emblem Heroes is bad enough, but at least it has the courtesy to only be in via song remixes.

Kirby boss, eh?

Well, I can't deny that he's one of the best options for a boss from that franchise. Still doesn't excuse the fact that we STILL don't have any stages or remixes from modern Kirby though.

Dude. Did you even read my post?

Adding a character because they had an upcoming game is the LITERAL definition of Corrin’s inclusion in Smash.

Bayonetta had enough widespread appeal for people to believe that she legitimately won the ballot.

Smash 4 vets have the benefit of being in previous Smash games, which increases their appeal. Mewtwo specifically is a very popular Pokémon.

And if you’re telling me the gaming community doesn’t know who Cloud Strife is, I don’t know what to tell you.

I actually forgot Cloud was DLC and now I feel stupid

Bayonetta is a great series and great character. She deserves her spot.

Also every character in Smash is an ad when you think about it *hits blunt*

It's probably saying a rep from Mario 2 which would most likely be either Birdo or Mouser as those two are the most easily recognizable characters from that game.
Click to expand...
Mario2 is a reference to the supposed filename from the Gardevoir/Gothitelle leak.
The original leaker said it was either Paper Mario or N64 Mario.
