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.

Seeing all the dream rosters you guys posted made me think about something

What do you think is the upper limit of characters in smash?

I mean, this game's gonna have 80+ by the end of it's lifecycle, and that already feels pretty overwhelming, but what's the real limit? 100? 130? Over 9000?
The next few games will probably have smaller rosters than Ultimate. But if there’s ever another game that brings everyone back, then I’ll just say 103-108 characters is the upper limit, just because Sakurai has already used those numbers, and 108 has significance in Japan (and other eastern cultures). But maybe an even 100 is better.

Whenever someone says Smash For's single player mode sucks, I die inside a little.

Also, unpopular opinion but I still think 3DS version looks better than Wii U version.
Worse graphics looks better? Interesting. But I assume you're talking about the "style" (Black outlines around characters and more "cartoony" look). I can understand that. But texture and resolution wise, Wii U looks demonstratively better. If you scaled the 3DS screen to a 32" tv, I don't think you'd hold that opinion.

Now where did I leave that banhammer...
I can't wait to start making the SmashBoards platform fighter.

Mic_128 will basically be Dedede but if you get hit by any normal attacks by Mic, you just kinda get removed from the game

Down Special bans you from real life

Can I quote myself?
I mean, Wii U version had better graphics but I liked the overall designs and art direction in 3DS version better. Plus, I prefer less saturated models.

Ganondorf and Link look much better on 3DS..something looks wrong with their Wii U models.

I need my obituary to say "Kevin was banned on [whenever I die]. Reason: [whatever I died from]."


edit:

*genuinely adds "SmashBoards platform fighter" to list of game ideas*

Walked right into that ninja ambush. Same as us, and that leaker over there.

Hm, jokes aside, question: With the leaked copies of smash, were there any signs of needing a day 1 patch to be able to play the game? I picked up Starlink last week and that had a 6 gig patch you had to download before you can play. I'm flying interstate the day of the launch, so I'll basically pick up my copy after work then go straight to the airport. Hoping I can just jam the cart in and start playing without issue...

Okay but if a smash newcomer trailer starts this way I'd lose my damn mind

I think I know, but just in case, what are you referencing here?

They did confirm a day one patch, and it'll probably be necessary to play online. But I'm assuming you can play single player as much as you want...

As soon as you activate the smash ball it forces you to the Home Menu, where the icon appears complete with progress bar, even if you already have Skyrim. It installs a new copy every time.

All of his specials put a bunch of Skyrim files and references in the game data
Just like with Fallout 76.

What if Geno is DLC but they completely base him around the Sassy Geno leak

I would be the Sora of the Smashboards Fighting game.

I am involved with four franchises from four different companies, so it would be harder to make a deal that allows me to join the game.

Sassy Geno is objectively better because he doesn't come from a RPG, so he wouldn't be an anime swordsmen like Lucario or K.Rool.

I only started posting in this thread around the time of the Grinch leak, remember? Could you get me up to speed?
someone made a fake image leak for Geno that was decently convincing but looked ridiculous

image machine broke though won't let me post it
