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.

400 MB of fixing my boi's utilt hitbox

Hope it was worth it Sakurai :yoshi:
Sakurai: "We couldn't fix Yoshi's utilt, so we just removed it. It might seem weird being the only character without an utilt but it really just makes him more unique".

You're the one asserting something.
Explain to me why she should.

Other than, of course, the way she looks. Because I'll tell you now, that'll be the day we start adding hentai into Smash.
And by hentai I mean Saber.
Because Fate is totally a hentai franchise even today.

Yeah no, you need better logic than that to keep Saber out when we have characters like Palutena and Bayonetta here. I still see no downside to having Fate become a franchise of Smash, mainly because I trust Sakurai would largely focus on content from the original FSN and largely ignore all the spinoffs that bloated the franchise.
Hey.
The Ordinal Scales movie was absolutely fantastic.
And the alicization / GGO Novels are pretty great.

Fight me.
Ordinal Scale was okay, didn’t like how Kirito just kind of rose back up to overpoweredness at the end.

I will say the Progressive series is probably the best thing to come out of SAO for me (though even then I’d heavily recommend a lot over it).

Implying that DQXI will be withheld game awards solely because of Koichi Sugiyama (the DQ composer) is a strange position to take. Is there any precedent for something like this happening? I know labels and branding people are big these days, but I also think it's unrealistic to expect an 87-year-old Japanese man to adhere to the same social beliefs of a 20-year-old American. There're completely different upbringings, cultures, and worldviews involved.

To make Yoshi more faithful to his Mario counterpart, taking damage now makes Yoshi run off stage uncontrollably and SD.

Uh huh. My boi dominates in the air, so let's make the one move that most easily sends the opponent into the air nonexistent. Can't argue with Sakurai's logic there...

I wouldn't be surprised if some 20 year old Americans agreed with him

Which impossible-ese videogame character do you to see in Smash. Personally I kind of wanted Arthur Morgan, as a person that played Red Dead Redemption 2, since his physics, as well as possibly looting characters as his down throw that adds an item to his inventory, along with a Dead Eye final smash, and more of a versatile range character. Also wanted him in Soul Calibur 6.

That wasn't what I was saying.
I was joking that if you were gonna get a character off a knightess aesthetic, you might as well go with Saber.

Well as for me, I'm hum.... Absolutely not done, just did the Intro and still have 10 pages to do. Wonderful :4pacman:
This is what happens when I have an essay due tomorrow at 12 lol.

Regardless, it's still bigotry, and us here 'Muricans professional judging panels don't take too kindly to that. He should change his viewpoints with the times, or at the very least, you know, acknowledge actual war crimes that happened shortly before he was born.

Dude what the **** are you doing here? Go work on that like, yesterday. Seriously, we'll be here when you come back.

Also, side note, but if anyone needs help going over papers for school, I'm always willing to offer my assistance (assuming that I have the time to do so). I'm a grammar nerd and I like going over writing (it's why I sometimes correct grammar here, as much of a jerk as it makes me look like).

Impossible esqu. I’d have to go with... Scorpion or Sub-Zero. I love Mortal Kombat.

Gotta make this essay, then finish a 120 pages sketchbook, and make an Online Portfolio all of this for this week.

I'm fine. TOTALLY FINE.

I'm absolutely dead, please help me and free my soul :4pacman::4pacman::4pacman::4pacman::4pacman::4pacman::4pacman::4pacman:

Why, you must be lucky! I have few finals in two weeks and I managed to dodge one final in favor for reading day next week because my teacher was giving everyone in the class choice: take the englsih final (I have two english classes so that means I have two english finals) or reading dayd, though I don't know if he was being serious about the choices. One english final is fine I can deal with it. Two english finals? ****ING NOPE.JPG FOR ME!

It's not too bad. I'm a psychology major in an Honors College and I've never been too overburdened with work. Then again, I've always been in high level classes and had to manage them with extracurriculars, a social life, and free time, so I guess this is just normal for me.

Ha! College! As a grown adult with a full time job, I no longer have need for things like papers and books! Nay, I spend my evenings doing ADULT THINGS, like PAYING MY RENT and CRYING

So what exactly can you fit in a 400 MB patch?
Less than people are assuming.

There's a lot of duplicate data in any given update. Think of it like a word document. You've written an essay and emailed it your professor, but then you remember you forgot to add your name. So you open the document, add your name and resend it. To make this one small change, you have to send your professor an entirely new copy of the file.

Patching a video game is the same concept. You want to tweak one variable in a stage's collision data, you have to resend the entire collision file. You want to adjust one character's parameters, you've got to send the full param file again. This kind of stuff adds up really quickly.

A league of legends character or maplestory character.

Have fun to get **** grade because you ****ed up an in-between frame or made the exposition of a drawing too long. :4pacman:

Nah just kidding. It's super cool, you just need to really be ready to never give up and work harder and harder! You can do it!

It's just me who's a lazy piece of ****, and compete in the speedrun category of "homework under 24H, over 50 stars" :bobomb:

Pit: *Breaths*
Viridi and Palutena: Your an idiot, and you deserve it.
When the Pits get roasted they handle it pretty well, but when the goddesses get even a minor roast they get triggered

I've had a really laid back life so far, but if I really try I probably won't have a hard time keeping up in College.

Emphasis on probably.

Between the composer denying war crimes, Square Enix being super uncooperative and them trying to shill a franchise that has never been popular overseas via DLC, I can easily say Dragon Quest content in Smash is a hard pass from me.

Also I'll be real college is dope as hell don't let anyone scare you out of it. Get a good schedule going and it's a chill time, even if it is a lot of work. I would stay up so late watching GameCenter CX and playing Supercade with friends. If anything it's actually easier to do all that now Rabbit exists and Metal Slug X is available on Steam with online play out of the box.

Heck, the Switch has some solid internet gaming going. I actually really like the Nintendo Switch Online NES games service because the online multiplayer is really fun. If they expand all the way to the GameCube I'd kill for some online Wave Race Blue Storm.
