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 realizing that I am in the minority in thinking Xenoblade 2 had good, interesting character designs. Oh well, never stopped me before.

On an unrelated note, is it confirmed if unlocking characters in the WoL mode is seperate from unlocking them for the other modes, or does it work like Brawl?

Listen, I'm old enough to remember when everyone was calling Sora "Clown Shoes" but at least he has a spunky shonen vibe instead of Rex's weird baby face.

(The designs are not the only thing I don't enjoy about Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I still find the combat lacks crunch or weight, I don't enjoy the protagonist, the story beats lack...but I am enjoying Torna a lot so far, helped I'm sure by the fact that I like the cast a lot more and a lot of it is more streamlined. Still don't like the combat though.)
Also why are they doing anime stuff? Like, was it meant to see as funny?

Hey, the whole reason I gave Torna a shot after being wholly Not That Into XC2 to the point that I dropped it was because I love Lora and Jin's designs. Lora and Jin in Smash would be super cool, even if Elma and KOS-MOS are my much preferred Xeno reps.

Dude, you may as well give up while you're ahead. You ain't gonna change this board's collective opinion on Xenoblade 2, or hell really anything they believe as a whole, no matter how hard you try. I learned that the hard way lol.
Still not as bad as another forum I was on (a big reason why I've been a lot more active the past two weeks here was because I got banned... for telling a guy who said "Any new Xenoblade rep pretty much comes down to a woman of color with a unique yet inspired design, or a generic ass RPG hero baby boy who dresses like ****" that he was acting childish and pissy).

On King K. Rool being unlocked by Link, I think it might be intended to represent a Hinox from BOTW.

I assume you mean the slapstick moments. Yeah, probably. That's the other thing I don't like, it's like they really dialed that stuff up when the Xeno series never really needed that to be funny. Sure, it's always had a strange sense of humor, but oftentimes shonen slapstick cliches have just gotten dull to me.

I feel like overall XC2 was trying to aim for that Shonen audience and while I get it, it's just not for me anymore especially when the gameplay wasn't something I enjoyed either.

Also I kinda took your idea for the profile picture. I saw that you changed your picture from Zoe to a Christmas Zoe, so I decided to change mine from Homura to Christmas Homura
Haha, cool

I tend to call it anime stiff, because that's all it is. Boring jokes that has been done over and over again.

Should've ignored him. He can hate on Rex all he wants, but Sakurai isn't going to choose one character over another just because their design is generic or awful. The fact that Rex got a special segment in the Direct where Sakurai explained why he isn't in Smash should tell us who would be more likely to get in.

Sounds like that would cause a lot of unnecessary licensing issues, not to mention that it'd be one giant mess of completely unrelated content. "Buy Banjo and you'll get a Minecraft stage with all your favorite tracks from Halo!"

If we get a Microsoft character, I expect that character's franchise to be repped and nothing else. We've never gotten "company oriented" content before, and I doubt DLC is the appropriate time for Nintendo to worry about getting the rights for simple things like music and Spirits.
The licensing is already at hand, won't cost any issues.
It's a crowd satisfier, not a single lane drive. Well, Smash wasn't even a thing "before", this massive crossover wasn't a thing "before".. this is a new type of DLC, a new concept no one thought of.. "before" X)

It's a bit of a personal flaw of mine where I have trouble ignoring stuff like that. I've joked among friends that after FEW and Xenoblade 2 they need to expect every Switch game I follow to get embroiled in some dumb controversy or another.

I'm honestly more bothered that the mod sided with him, which pretty much tells me "act like an asshole towards anything as long as you don't directly insult other users"

There are fans that love the character and fans that love the character.

most Ive seen are ones that love her, and sadly they are the loudest.

But anyway, about Smash. Is there anything new to talk about since we know everything?
I'm not one to judge what people do with their fictional characters in their personal time, but yeah, I don't think there is much to talk about now, except for the possibility of day one single player modes possibly being added
