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. I kept quiet ever since July. I think that's long enough to come forth after we know everything about the game lmao-
Everytime I say something related to this. I made sure to not bluntly say "SO MY FRIENDS WORKING AT X IN THE Y DIVISION SAID THAT Z WAS IN" and that it wouldn't hurt anyone.

The gameXplain technique. Which is to pass leaks as Speculation or discussion works wonders trust me.
I suppose that is fine but what is the point of having the knowledge if you just wait for things to happen and then say you knew? Information is power. Why not make the best out of it?

Because you get to be super smug about it.
It's a great feeling, you should try it.
Also, insert "They hated Jesus because he told the truth" meme, here.

Insinder: "It's fake cause we don't have Incineroar and some of those characters are ATs."

Public: "WHY AREN'T THEY TELLING US ANYTHING?!? THEY MUST KNOW ITS REAL!!!


No, the public quite literally denied any statement insiders made on the matter so they gave up.
I think that's putting things nicely. The Smash Community was pretty toxic for a good week or so. We shouldn't treat insiders as prophets and take everything at face value, but we should show respect as fellow diehards and appreciate the added points of discussion.

It's not a bad Mafia strategy either.

For me anyway, it's a combination of not wanting to break someone's confidence and being the one to leak it, and getting the weight off my shoulders and clearing the air when it becomes public knowledge. :p

Because having that information was because my friends trusted me. He trusted me to Know that as a friend.
I wouldn't break that trust for my 15 minutes of fame.

Also Jesus. You saw what happened to insiders/Vergeben's? Getting **** talked and insulted?

No ****ing way I open my mouth. I just recently knew that there was more people like me who knew things.

For me? Personally? I jumped into the crazy ride to add an extra brain to the knowledge and try to get down to the truth and hopefully deduce what was really going on.

Certainly not a smug satisfaction of knowing something early or anything, but rather wanting to have somethings stimulating to do.

The sad feeling when you would never be trusted with insider/early information. Not because you would tell anyone but because you aren't important enough to tell.

Another reason that insiders don’t dump everything is because...*gasp*...most of the general public can’t be trusted with the information.

That’s why it’s kept to private messages and what not anyway. Like sure, I may be able to trust one or two of you. But obviously, you can’t just dump that onto a general discussion thread, especially when it could very well ruin somebody’s career or connections, all to tell some random people on the internet.

All I can say is that if you want to have access to that sort of thing, you won’t get it as just some user. You have to be involved in the community or do something more than ****post. That’s how you gain trust or get to know people who know things.

To be honest, that’s how it can be in life outside of the internet too. I’ve gotten opportunities in my career because of the connections i’ve made.

It’s quite useful, you know.

Interesting. I understand the importance of trust, secondary benefits exists for a reason.

Because having that information was because my friends trusted me. He trusted me to Know that as a friend.

Yep, totally the secondary benefits. That is a good deal if you ask me.

Look what happened with Verg.
That is what happens to a man with too much power.

Because you get to be super smug about it.
It's a great feeling, you should try it.

I dont know. I try to be straightforward with people. I am quite a simple minded fellow.

Exactly we also have to keep in mind that someones job is on the line and if this information goes public. Thats person's livelihood is now gone, for a few minutes of fame. Its not worth it, its better to keep quiet and see what happens. And also agree you have to ask questions and be connected to the right kind of people. Thats how the world works not just in the internet community, but in the outside life as well.

Anyway, if we were to get a Soul Calibur rep in Smash who do you think it would be?

Nightmare & Siegfried

Mitsirugi

Kilik

Sophitia

He's on the goddamn logo sometimes, you literally cannot get more iconic than being your game's icon.

Precisely. Like the current case going on with Phoenix Wright potentially being a fighter. Even if there really is insider info, I can see why the parties involved wouldn't admit to it being insider info unless they knew absolutely sure it were okay to.

Honestly I think Nightmare with Siegfried as an echo or costume would be the most likely considering they tend to be the story focus for the most part and super popular. Could see Sophitia as well considering she tends to be important too and has appeared in a crossover before. Though she would likely need to use an earlier design as her more current designs are not too modest with her breasts.

Mitsurugi I feel isn't important enough in series and isn't all that interesting by himself.

Kilik would be interesting but I feel he wouldn't have the star power Nightmare, Siegfried, or Sophitia would

Thing is he's been right about all his predictions. At this point anything he says is pretty much fact and confirmed.
We have yet to see that Minecraft Boss he was talking about tho. Could be the end of his perfect track record.
Dataminers haven't found anything about a Minecraft boss and i'd be surprised to see a Boss out of nowhere in a DLC (without a stage i mean).
Don’t give up hope, it’s not the Sheikah way
Those Sheikah sure don't give up easily:
...hundreds of years later, still waiting for the hero to complete his damn trial...

Kilik would be super interesting as a Smash fighter. He would be the first staff user, and his moveset's would be really interesting. I know it won't happen, but I can dream ha.

Nightmare in full armor.
Maybe possessed Siegfried underneath if we get lucky.
The reason I ask is because possessed Siegfried Nightmare fights differently, than when its just Nightmare. I would love to see Nightmare with Siegfried underneath the armor. And if we were lucky a unpossessed Siegfried costume.

I know. I am not asking and proding because I want to critizise. I find human interaction fascinating. I like knowing about the deeper meanings behind things. I must say that is one of the reasons I love your posts. I adore the insight you bring to things. I also adore DaybreakHorizon DaybreakHorizon posts for the same reason. I also like vaanrose vaanrose even if he usually takes a more snarky approach when bringing up his points.

Don't, uh...
Don't take that seriously.

It was a joke and I wouldn't want you getting the wrong idea.
Dont worry about it. I get it. ;)
