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.

People need to understand that DLC isn't gonna be characters that absolutely will sell, it's gonna be what Nintendo THINKS is going to sell.
That could give a lot of passes to certain characters. But I think that we need to see what happens at the VGA’s to really try to speculate what will go on

why are we assuming that Nintendo will pick characters for money? I'm just curious.
Because Nintendo are a business, and businesses like money.

DLC is all about making that extra bit of cash post release. It's not for the love of the game or anything.

The first part is subjective. I personally never really cared for him. As for the second one, I don't think he's a worldwide icon, maybe just a Brawl icon
well lets look at the facts

Duon:
in smash brothers brawl
made by sakurai
supports bisexuals


Leonardo Da Vinci:
never been in smash
literally who are his parents
never showed support for bi people, possibly a homophobe


Duon is much more popular than Leonardo Da Vinci. Therefore, more of a worldwide icon.
Just facts, dude

I’m pretty sure Nintendo usually has a good sense of what will sell.
So your telling me to brace myself for one pick I'm not going to like? Is it ok if I get a pick that someone else wouldn't like instead? I'd really prefer that.

Not saying this to be funny, but Ive got no idea who Duon is.
That just demonstrates how iconic he is. His image is so engaged in your mind and has become such a fundamental aspect of life that his mere name is not enough to bring him to your memory.

I agree. The love of the game was the base game

Ah yes, but of course. Didn't Leonardo Da Vinci run that pizza shop down the street a few years ago?

The stuff that's the most popular brings in the most money. It's not automatically evil. Making your game suck unless people pop quarters in it like an arcade now THAT is evil.

Isabelle's inclusion was the greatest thing to happen in Smash history, and she will be sung of for ages

I heavily follow FF Brave Exvius (been playing since release) and I can tell you that the game was known to have collabs with everything and the fact that the FF BE playerbase have literally been begging Square and Gumi for a Kingdom Hearts collab for months. Not to mention that Square-Enix heavily milk the Global playerbase vs the Japanese playerbase by nerfing gacha rates and making other anti-consumer changes on the global version. Disney has the rights but they would pretty foolish to stir anger with the company that makes the games not to mention getting a cut of the pie.

They made 3 Million in one day alone when the Nier Automata banner hit. in Brave Exvius. They want money.
I follow the game too don't worry my man. I'm a big SE nerd here. But the point wasn't that it won't make money! The point was that you can apply the same for Smash Bros-

If money is the leading factor, it would be stupid to not go for Sora or Sephiroth on that list of 7 for Exemple :bobomb:

Sora would get the sales, sure, but I feel like the price to pay (literally) to get Sora in wouldn't be worth the reward

Since money only comes from popularity and we wanted the popular choice, we rest our case, your honor.

I think chracther choice is based off two factors how popular they are and how much money they make

You know, for as absolutely fantastic as the music selection is this time around, there's one series where it bums me out: the Punch-Out!! music selection.

Like, not getting new remixes I can understand, but can we at least get some of the fight themes for the other boxers? Glass Joe, Aran Ryan, Soda Popinski, Super Macho Man, and Von Kaiser have some great ones.
