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 think the "Dixie can't be DLC, she's a spirit" it's done, right ?
I mean... a lot of characters we thought weren't spirits are after all.

I'm sorry, what? X literally had 3 things altered in localization; the breast slider, the fundoshi and Lyn's baseoutfit. Meanwhile every other outfits is literally untouched.
Have you seen the monstrous black things they slapped on Lin? That's what I'm referring to. It was awful, lazy and unsightly censorship.

I love the double standards too.

''Can Shulk run around in his boxer shorts?" ''Sure."

Worrying about underwear is only a thing when it's a woman apparently. Not like a female or gay/bi man might be perving on Shulk or anything. Lol.

Tbh I don't particularly mind the overly fanservicey outfits in Xenoblade (I have more important things to concern myself about) but like there's a certain point when an outfit transcends fanservice and just looks annoying lol

I'm not above the whole anime waifu thing like people try to high horse about but I just can't take Pyra seriously looool
Annoying really is a good word for it. I don't mind overly fanservicey outfits if they look good, like Tharja's. But damn short clothes don't automatically mean attractive especially when combined with all the extra obnoxious **** attached to her. come on Nintendo

Did you hear that Cloud is in World of Light, and not only that, but also Pikachu Libre is actually a girl?
Okay, but did you guys hear that if you purchase the Xbox Game Pass now your first month is only $1?!

You can also get Fjorm by completing Chapter 1 of Book 2 of Fire Emblem Heroes.

If Porky is DLC, I hope either Tazmily Village or Thunder Tower were the stage. Especially since Mother 3 had gotten no remix as of now.

Cause Shulk doesn't have exaggerated sex appeal. Had he been ****ing ripped and maybe have a speedo on top, I'd raise my eyebrow. Cause it's not about not having clothes, but it's about how the clothes emphasize the lack thereof on certain areas

It's lame, but you can't really blame Nintendo for trying to cover their ***** to achieve a certain rating. God I hope a certain subsection doesn't try and make a big deal out of this.
i'm the opposite, i really want to see that crowd get all worked up over an edit to a png. it would be just the right mixture of absurdity and pointlessness that i've come to expect.

The weird thing about Camilla is that she looks good in any outfit except her original one.




I always class change her to Wyvern Lord for this reason...

Naked man = comedy
Naked woman = sexual

On the subject of modding, ho-ley Jesus
There was a problem fetching the tweet
So exciting!
Still got a long way to go though lol.
This is why Fates is Wasted Potential: The Game.
Don't even get me started lol.

If anyone wants to see what Fates could've been like if it was good read the Manga. It's told from Leo's point of view and it's actually good.

Naked man is used for comedy sure, but like I just find it hilarious as a society we believe that only one gender is sexualized and objectified when it's ALL of them. Porn with men exists, what in christ's name is People's Sexiest Man Alive if not objectification, etc.

That is actually the one used in the game: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EhnFjTRYSZe0tCQcOGkbtJ6oMileI8Mh

(I can't seem to link to the specific image, but all the spirit images were dumped in that dropbox link. They're in alphabetical order btw)
Thanks for this, I've been waiting to get icons of the different character alts like Meta Ridley, as well as the Koopalings' and boss renders. The Koopalings in particular I've been waiting for since as far as I've seen, they're the only alts that shift characters that are not easily available.

Animals in their natural habitat. You can't **** with nature.

Well, besides human breasts. Those don't count.
Weird thing is several other character spirits show off cleavage just fine. Candy, Barbara, and the cheerleaders spirits all show varying amounts of cleavage for example(the cheerleaders one showing more than Camilla and Mythra far as I can tell). Meanwhile Pyra doesn't seem altered from what I can tell.
Juri Han looks to have visible side boob, and the Krystal spirit I have seen is barely covered at all(just her tribal look?). The alterations seem kind of inconsistent as some were altered yet others that have similar problems were not. Like using Krystal's Assault artwork would entirely solve the issue for her yet nothing was done but they manually altered Camilla's artwork. It's weird to me.

Honestly though I wouldn't mind the legging on Mythra so much but I wish they wouldn't be black. Think it clashes with the rest of her design too much. White with gold trim I think would have worked

The material was sown together while on her.
This may actually be the canon reason, seeing how Blades work. they come already clothed when just summoned. Since they can materialize their weapons at will, why not clothes?

It's like the uncanny valley except in this case for fanservice it's just the "valley of being totally offensive to your senses"

Not exactly the same thing but the cringe exists in both

Not to make this go way off the rails, but the sexualization of women affects them much more than it does men. To think they are objectified equally would be insane. Have you seen the way women are treated? This even seeps into video games, where a woman's sex appeal is exploited much more than a man's ever is.

I mean that's down to another thing about society though. Only certain body types are considered ''sex appeal." You know full well Shulk isn't a bad looking dude/character, in fact if he were a real guy, he'd probably look like your standard boyfriend of a lot of women.

Not everyone is looking for Idris Elba for sex appeal (well...you know what I mean.)

Speaking of Fates, I kind of find the non-breakable weapon mechanic to be off-putting due to the status debuffs to compensate them being permanent (Which is why the silver weapons suck in that game). I would be fine with that mechanic it if it was sort of like Red dead redemption when the more you use the weapon, the more weaker it gets and you have to sharpen/repair it with certain stuff you buy or get.

what the **** is a fundoshi this is the first I heard of this
Some kind of Japanese underwear thing. Tekken 4 gave Heihachi one, and the rest of us nightmares.



EDIT: I'll embed a vid since the image ain't working.

As a person who plays a ton of RPGs, this all so true and as a woman myself, it gets annoying after a while.
