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.

How would you feel if Sakurai launched free DLC, but it was one that completely replaced Xander Mobus by Bruce Campbell?

I mean. Even if there was a second Direct... would it matter for Smash? I don't think it would.

It could (and a small could at that) matter for people who want to see a third DKC game by Retro and news about Metroid Prime 4 (like me).

And i say could because it doesn’t have to be the case.

So about the music... I just looked at the full list and noticed that
Princess Peach's Castle (Melee) is missing despite the stage being in the game
and I'm just confused by this decision. Also, I was hoping for a remix of Inside the Castle Walls from Super Mario 64...oh well.

I hope it is. My Switch library is kind of shallow, so I'm lookin to add to it. I already got Three Houses and Pokemon Gen 8 on my list, hoping to add Prime 4 as well.

With what Monster Games did with their levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, I'd me more than happy if Retro and Nintendo handed over the DKC duties to them and let Retro pursue new opportunities like they did with MP4. If you haven't played DKCR3D then find a way to at least play the last levels. They're something truly special and I'd love to see that creativity stretched out to a full game.

Wait. No. It can't be gone, right? I know I heard it in some gameplay! If it's gone, I don't know how to feel. It's easily my favorite version of the overworld theme and holds a ton of nostalgic value for me. Please don't tell me it's gone.

Was anyone else kind of hoping that there would be more alt costumes then there ended up being? I was kind of hoping for stuff like a James McCloud alt and a Captain K. Rool. Also a little upset they got rid of the fireflower mario.

It's not gone! It's used in Peach's Mini-Trailer! Every other song used in these trailers is in the game, why the **** would this be the exception?

I have no patience

It would have to be something extraordinarily good like Morgan Freeman or Samuel L. Jackson for me to replace Xander

Or something like other fighting games have that the narrator is one of the characters. I wouldn't mind Shulk being the narrator

If you want to troll Mario players, just get good with Kirby and use him (it's very hard, he's low tier).
Especially his Final Cutter, I trolled so many Marios trying to use the cape on my cutter except that if I hit them directly with the blade it has no effect.
At least in Smash 4.

After falling back to 35% of win rate, I grinded back to 50% and then I stopped playing because it's too frustrating; though in the last week I improved a lot and I even managed to defeat some Clouds and Bayonettas. (I ended with about 70% win rate in the last 100 matches).

At first I was completely helpless against some characters (such as Donkey Kong, Pacman and Megaman), but I eventually learned how to fight them. Except Megaman because he has so much variety of long range attacks that even if you play better than him, he still damages you a lot and it will most likely KO you before you manage to KO him. Corrin/Shulk/Link/Toon Link are also very strong against Kirby, especially Toon Link, but Toon Link can be killed at relatively low % at least; I remember Corrin and Shulk being easier to defeat, probably they became harder to defeat after the several patches.
Anyway, in most cases it depends on the player, but I think that Mario was one of the characters I had least problems with, along with maybe Cpt Falcon.
On a side note, fighting against Ganondorf is a torture.... you can win easily if you are careful enough, but just 1 error and he can kill you in 3 moves (playing as Kirby); King Dedede and Bowser are similar cases, King Dedede being harder because of the bigger range and Gordo spam, but it's also likely that the player will mess up things or get a Gordo reflected in the face, making the fight a bit easier occasionally.
The most fair battles were against the Marths (and derivates, Roy, Lucina); copying Marth's and Lucina's ability is very helpful.
Ohh, I almost forgot, a good Robin is untouchable against Kirby... you have literally no way to even get close to him... or at least, I have never been able to. I only won once against a Robin but the player was a noob.

lastly, inhaling a Bayonetta while she's trying to ram at you to start the combo of doom is priceless.

That's just my personal experience.

Capcom? More like Crapcom.
Oh wait, Mega Man is in Smash now... Uhm, Snake got cut.
Konami? More like ****onami.
Oh, Snake is back and there's a ****ton of Castlevania content now... well, FF only has two songs so...
Square Enix? More like... Stingy Enix! Ha, got em!

I know you're making fun, but that seems like a perfectly legitimate line of thinking to me.

Like, read the room Square. See what other companies are doing in Smash, and up your game!

I don't see it on the song list though. It should be there, if that's data from the game itself. I'm worried. I know it's "just a song" but it's very important to me, and my history with Smash. I won't lie, I'll actually be pretty upset of it's cut.

That's good to know. I noticed that the Delfino Plaza Remix isn't listed either so maybe it's not a full list that I saw

Yeah, we've had the Delfino Plaza remix posted on multiple YouTube Channels. False Alarm, everyone! The song is in the game!

God, same. I keep hitting it just to keep it high on my home screen. I refuse to pirate it under any circumstance or get it to work early via modifications but if it just so happened to allow access to my preloaded copy ten days early, well, I wouldn't complain...

I hope you're right. I'm already feeling sad now... I had plans for that song, y'know? Like what stages it would play on and all that.

Have you checked the Smash wiki? There's a link in one of the stickied threads in this section. It's pretty comprehensive and how I learned that certain misc tracks I didn't realize were back are in.

My friend wishes a Star Fox Adventure Fox costume. James is almost there, we just need some sunglasses.
All 3rd party costumes were cut btw. I think it's on purpose. It saves right issues and also ease up the way to DLC inclusions.
