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 honestly have trouble believing the 2014 thing. How would this source know who was considered and who wasn't? Unless they have a connection to whoever from Nintendo made these decisions, they shouldn't have that information.

Haven’t heard of the third one. What’s made them likely all of a sudden?

Why is it so hard for some people to understand that other people just want to be able to play as characters who are like them?

You stole this from Netflix's Death Note
you don't understand, if someone wants a character who's not a white dude they only want them because of F O R C E D D I V E R S I T Y, there can be no other reason /s

You know what game came out in 2014?

You know what character doesn't have a spirit in Smash?

I haven't played it. Are the DLC characters really that substantial that they would consider adding them and not the games main character?
It'd be a weird pick, but I could see it.
Torna in general fleshes alot of characters, that basically were unexplored or considerd clichés by most people. Its basically what Fate Zero is for the Fate Stay Night Series

I just watched a video of DK's Classic Mode.


The boss of the route is Master & Crazy Hand, which would be nothing special, except it takes place on the Omega form of New Donk City. The backdrop for the Master Hand/Master & Crazy Hand fight doesn't have to be Final Destination. This is mind-blowing.

So are Sephiroth, Crono and Erdrick the only viable SE picks now? What?
I don't think people even consider Sephiroth, even though he's arguably one of the biggest villains in gaming.
Everyone would be so hyped if we got 2 new Final Fantasy tracks, an entire 4!

well that really all depends on when the DLC character list was given to Sakurai

The Rex DLC costume seems to hint that it was before 2018 since Rex would 100% be in if it was after that (being both a Sakurai pet favorite and a new franchise that Nintendo can promote) so it was probably given around the project plan, so 2015 characters seem to be likely. Of course this could all be wrong, but it's probably what's most likely so far.

Her mimeosome is basically how she would want to see herself as a human, though :p
Maybe. I mean, as far as I've gone, I don't know why she chose that look or if the game even tells you why she chose that look. I mean, for all I know, she didn't choose that look, it could've been someone else who did.

Not that there is anything wrong with the look. She's still pretty.

For what it's worth, having a varied selection of characters to pick from, including genders and races, is good actually.

Yeah, my mistake. That's what I meant.

They are actually the hands of a giant Mario and all of that fight is a reference to Donkey Kong

Given that the DLC characters in smash 4 had a mix of new and old. IE characters like Cloud and a little Ryu. And then others like Corrin and Bayonetta with recent releases.

Shouldnt this be immediately proven fake by their own words?
-Rumors of no character made before 2014 being in
-Rumors of Sephiroth (1997), Erdrick (1988), Crono (1995)

Sephiroth - Most well-known jRPG antagonist amongst even casual gamers
Erdrick - Most well-known DQ protagonist & DQ is massively popular in Japan. DQ XI was released fairly recently and will be hitting Switch soon, too (along with 'Erdrick' being a Title, so you could have him and Luminary in as an alt)
Crono - Protagonist from the game considered one of the best (usually among the top 3) RPGs of all time and drawn by Akira Toriyama (same as Erdrick)

I agree, but then again, Nintendo would probably go for characters that their home audience can relate to

Does anyone have a list of all the games that are coming out the same day as Smash Brothers Ultimate?

They made a typo. They meant to say "Rumors of only characters made before 2014 being in"

He got it wrong. Take the reverse. No Characters past 2014 should happens if the Rumor is true

My heart longs for Eggman though it shall never be. :(

Thinking about :ultpiranha: and I think this sort thing only works with Mario goons.

Like think of say a koopa, now think about every other variant of a Koopa in Mario other than :ultbowser::ultbowserjr:.

That's a fat movset.

You're doing it wrong. You should say Smash is ruined for older fans because of the last two and Nintendo only cares about promotion.
