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.

wait wait no.

On the 3DS you also had to move to get play coins if you needed them for stuff in certain games.

However, you could just shake the 3DS and it would think you're walking.

Ok to clarify, no, you yourself don’t have to walk around. Your character or the opponent has to walk or have flown a certain distance in order to trigger the challenger fight.

I honestly think that it's for the better...
There's supposed to be a day one patch right?

If the review copies came before the game's release, it'd become outdated due to the lack of the patch...

This will be the best way to get the most up-to date reviews, possible...

I'm thinking January is the latest we get something on the first DLC character for Smash.

A January direct seems necessary because Piranha Plant seems fitted for February release. We'll probably get a release date for him and the first look at the first DLC figher at the same time.

See, I'm the other guy in that argument. Makoto is the better sister hands down.

Also I feel like this is what our conversations would turn to at times if we didn't have rules and censors and all that. .

The guy means that you have to move a certain distance in-game. I'm pretty sure the Switch doesn't even have a pedometer to track how far you go with it in the real world.

That unlock method. I mean I can kinda understand the timer. But distance? Lmao what. I’ll just play classic.

Smash fans are just scared about having to move any muscle besides their fingers.

Mini rant: honestly this new distance mechanic would’ve been fine if there were less characters to unlock but having 60+ characters, this mechanic is going to make getting them feel like a ****ing chore. It’s almost like the devs want us to grind through Classic to get all the characters at a quick pace. I was fine with the reset but this... idek anymore.

It's 2018.
Every other fighter just has their characters on the select screen.
Why are we still doing this?
Pride?
Accomplishment?
I just want to beat up some fools.

It’s pretty clearly in-game distance, yeah. I just don’t really understand why implement a requirement. Unless I’m being an idiot I can’t really think of a reason for it. It’s not a big deal though.

They honestly didn't have to limit the staring roster to the original 8.
It's a nice callback to Smash 64.
But when you realize that you have to unlock 66 more characters...
You begin to realize how bad the idea is.
And then you make it worse by complicating things for people who want a specific character (RIP Palutena mains).

Tbh I don’t mind unlocking characters but an unlockable roster of this size is too much.

Isn't that a good thing though?

Like, do a couple of matches, play WoL or Classic Mode a bit, then do another match, then repeat.

It likely wouldn't take 11 hours at that point.

Or just do WoL and take like 5 hours to do it all.

That's still ****ing garbage. The unlock system is supposed to be streamlined. this isn't streamlined.

I like unlocking characters. It unironically feels rewarding.

Honestly I'd be overjoyed if everyone but Kirby was unlockable

I love unlocking characters and I think that it's underrated

wait

do you actually unlock all the characters just by going through WoL? and does WoL really only take 5 hours? orrr

No, he's suggesting playing some matches, and then switching to wol or Classic, to unlock characters, which will take 5 hours.

Because that's apparently streamlined.

I'm not sure if you seen any leaks... (I'm not gonna spoil anything).

But it will take MUCH longer than 5 hours to unlock all characters through WoL.

Come on lads, the unlock isn’t a huge deal. I myself am confused by the decision to implement the mechanic, but classic and WoL are there.

Also yeah pretty sure you do unlock characters through WoL. Although it’s way longer than 5 hours.

Guess I'm going back to the day 1 plan of bum-rushing WoL's bazillion spirits battles.
That or whatever the hell classic mode's chaining system is.

Hopefully the AI sucks because I don't want to be stuck dealing with an ubercharged Incineroar Machamp spirit battle.
