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.

It was a meme. It's why I posted that image as well. I don't really think it's inappropriate, but I probably missed something that happened earlier, so whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The mods don't like us posting those creepy Steve images

I think they just want to make sure we get some sleep tonight...

  • Lucas and Roy are exceptions because they were veterans from previous games, and had higher demand due to that. Mewtwo was a similar case.
  • Bayonetta is a popular third party series, and there were a good amount of people within the fanbase who wanted her
  • Corrin was explicitly a promotional pick for Fates in the West, so he's a special case. Fates was already released and doing relatively well in Japan when he was released. He's also the main character of his game, and not a side character/antagonist. we still should've gotten Azura
Sylux and Porky don't really fall into any of these categories.
Except Porky does.
He was present in a previous game in the Smash series. By default, he isn't as "niche" as you think he is.
You think jokes are obnoxious but joke all the time.

Oh, okay. I see.

Well, that's good knowledge for the future.
Maybe quit the strawman and realize I'm being equally obnoxious as you are? Hmm?

The meme is inappropriate and it creeps out a lot of people.

Please don't post it.

Lucas was a veteran from the most popular Smash game of all time who was very present in one of the most memorable Smash experiences of all time (Subspace), Lucas and Porky are not on the same level.
Porky was also in Subspace and a boss at that. Not on the level of a playable character, but people will remember his stage and his boss fight if they've played Brawl. People in the Smash community will know Porky.

I don't see either Sylux or Porky making it, their lack of a Spirit (or Porky's lack of a boss role) doesn't make them likely for DLC imo. They're just absent.

I kind of doubt Porky making it in regardless anyways because I don't think anything will happen with Mother soon

Metroid Prime 4 is going to be a big game. It's not like they can add Samus to promote the game, so they'd add Sylux who has a chance to be the antagonist. Same with Porky if we really do get a Mother 3 localization.
The thing is, Sylux has a chance. Like, we don't even know if it will be. It took a massive fan effort to get Ridley and Dark Samus in the game, and there are plenty of other promotional reps and characters from larger releases to put in over Sylux. Animal Crossing Switch or Luigi's Mansion 3 anyone?

Also a Mother 3 localization doesn't need any more promotion than it being a Mother 3 localization lol.

And Porky had 2 boss fights, his own theme and his own stage in the most memorable Smash experience of all time.
Anyone that didn't play Brawl doesn't know who Lucas or Porky are, but anyone that played that game knows who they are.

That's ya'll's problem with Porky and Sylux.

It's a ''chance" that they're ''promotion".

Not even a guarantee.

We have no idea if Sylux's role really increased in Prime 4.

And we have no idea if Mother 3 will become localized.

So you're just operating on ''They have missing spirits and there's a possibility."

Call this post obnoxious if you want, I honestly don't even care, but you know there's a lot of ''chance" with this and it's only obnoxious because you realize this is the truth.

Porky is also a big part of the Smash franchise.
He was a boss in Brawl, and even has his own stage back in Ultimate.

Yeah, sure, but still nowhere near the same level of Lucas' recognizability. Nothing can make up for being a starting playable character, imo.

Sylux has been hinted at twice and if I recall, mentioned to be in Prime 4. Also, the point about AC and Luigi's Mansion is opinion. We don't know which game will be larger.

My bad on that one. Won't do it again boss.

Outside of "oh, he was that one boss guy from Brawl," casual fans know nothing about him. I'd hardly call him a glaring omission.

Porky was also in Subspace and a boss at that. Not on the level of a playable character, but people will remember his stage and his boss fight if they've played Brawl. People in the Smash community will know Porky.
People in the Smash community don't drive a majority of DLC sales. They still need to appeal to other fanbases.

I wouldn't call first one exactly a fight, though...

What I don't get it what makes Porky different from any other side character from Smash, aside from coming from a niche, concluded series.

There’s nothing wrong with discussing characters who only have a chance. It’s speculation. Porky and Stylux probably won’t be DLC but they could be

Y’know there’s this really good image going over inspect element using various leakers as examples, but I can’t find it right now. Seems like it would be relevant

tbf Tanabe has said he plans on making Sylux a big deal in Prime 4 and is trying to build them up with the Prime 3 ending and Fed Force ending. You aren't entirely wrong either though.

Also lmfao there is no way Mother is getting anything beyond 'extra love in Smash' so there would NEVER be a promotional pick

Both of you are looking like fools, so I advise you to stop before you become another me. We don't need another jacob, let alone two more

"Say it louder for the people in the back" is just a meme, Fisher isn't being obnoxious. I personally found it funny and I don't see reason to get mad over it or tell them to shut up :confused:

Yeah, sure, but still nowhere near the same level of Lucas' recognizability. Nothing can make up for being a starting playable character, imo.
Still he deserves to be at least his own spirit, or an assist trophy, or a boss, or at least a mii costume.
Yet he is the only boss from brawl totally missing in any way, which it sucks, because I expect him to be at least a boss again... "everyone is here" except Porky.

We technically have his stage at the moment.
