Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[ABalloon]

I really hope we get some new Snake CODECs!!

Also come on anyone else think Crash's chances are really good?
With CTR on Switch, I'm REALLY hopeful

 

[The DanMan051]

Too late, I already had to block two people on Tumbrl because of that

Just glad I haven't seen much of that here or the other forum I frequent that isn't gamefaqs (which even then has taken it slightly better than I anticipated-- still topics like "go to hell Nintendo", "DLC confirmed shill picks", etc, but a lot of people are genuinely excited.

As for me, I'm just feeling very vindicated.

 

[osby]

I'm thinking (read:hoping) that since Nintendo is doing the DLC picks, there's a higher chance P5 will actually end up on the Switch. After all, the only other times we had the "not on Nintendo" dillema with Snake and Cloud, they were both expressly Sakurai picks. Of course Atlas could've also just offered Joker as the only possible rep, so there's that.

I think Snake was a Kojima pick.

 

[hazza5557]

I’m trying to unlock all the characters but I keep losing to them! I need to practice, I haven’t played Smash 4 for like a year.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Ah, true. Joker is still in the ring of possibility, especially if Nintendo want to hype a Persona 5 port to the Switch.

Yeah sure. Maybe when hell freezes over.

Ground starting to feel a bit more chilly than usual fam?

About Joker. To be honest? I'm not happy. I'm not angry either. I'm just the tiniest, tiniest bit sad, but more than anything, I'm surprised and confused.

Whytho?

 

[Deleted member]

Whytho?

It's just that... well, he's like Snake, Simon, and Bayo for me. He's an awesome third party, yeah, but... he just doesn't appeal to me.

 

[hazza5557]

You were expecting Zoe, weren’t you?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

It's just that... well, he's like Snake, Simon, and Bayo for me. He's an awesome third party, yeah, but... he just doesn't appeal to me.

Wait... is it because he's from an M rated franchise like the 3 other characters you mentioned, or is that just a funny coincidence?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Atleast I can say Sega has 3 playable characters in Smash Ultimate...well...soon they will

 

[YoshiandToad]

I think this is the jump the shark character for me. Joker just left me feeling hollow.

He's not a big huge mascot AND has basically little to do with Nintendo. This just feels like Nintendo getting a new company's favour.

Say what you will about their shaky Nintendo connections; Cloud and Snake were at least massive successful icons of video games. Joker feels token.
"Oh, we released a spinoff game with him in last week in Japan on the 3DS"
Well okay then.

Goku and Sans don't seem so stupid anymore all of a sudden.

But hey, DLC is optional at least.

 

[SquashiniKun]

Mind if i post a theory i made on the Ayumi thread regarding if spirits deconfirm characters?

 

[Deleted member]

You were expecting Zoe, weren’t you?

Expecting? Of course not! But hoping? You better believe it, buddy.

Wait... is it because he's from an M rated franchise like the 3 other characters you mentioned, or is that just a funny coincidence?

A little bit of both?

 

[MainJPW]

With 3 unique characters, Sega's living big.

Someone's going to need Bufu for this burn.

 

[PlugMeister]

Hey, y'all. Hope everyone is enjoying the game. I certainly am. It's all I've wanted and more.

But with that said, it sure seems like Dedede's Challenger Approaching! fight to unlock him has some seriously high AI. I have spent at least 20 tries trying to take this fat penguin down. Anyone else having trouble dealing with him?

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Someone's going to need Bufu for this burn.

Better get Jack Frost onto that stat!

 

[N3ON]

Is clearing Classic on 9.9 the hardest challenge? Because I've already hit 9.8 twice just running through the mode tryna unlock characters...

It's no beat boss battles on intense or anything...

 

[TMNTSSB4]

This makes up for the lack of playable Shadow, even though that could end up meaning every new Sega character will be from a different series

Smash isn't solely a celebration of Nintendo, it's a celebration of video games as a whole...

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Wait joker is from Sega?

 

[SquashiniKun]

i've decided to make a new prediction fighter pass, this will probably be the last one i'll ever do.

1. Joker (Persona 5)
2. Slime (Dragon Quest)
3. Daemon X Machina Rep
4. Ayumi Tachibana (Famicom Tantei Club)
5. Crash Bandicoot

and regarding why Ayumi is in there...

I have a feeling that Ayumi might still be in the running, I have a theory that if a DLC character that already has a spirit, then they will be given a new fighter spirit with different artwork to that of the original spirit. For example the Ayumi fighter spirit will be called Ayumi Tachibana (Fighter) and use this piece of artwork.

I found this:

Thank you Sakurai for reuniting Joker with his mom #SmashBrosUltimate #TheGameAwards pic.twitter.com/WzWR0RmcjH

XD

I dont know why, but I find it hilarious.

Quick question...or a Poll, rather...for those of you who had played Persona 5 (and since we know little beyond Joker's Inclusion).
Would you rather his Final Smash be:
A) The typical Hold-up, All Out Attack (showing off the outlines of all the protagonists)
B) A FS where Joker uses Satanael

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Watching people do World of Light... yeah I think I will just run through Classic mode in order to get the roster. I'll go through WoL later.

 

[Deleted member]

Wait joker is from Sega?

Sega owns Atlus, so he technically is a Sega rep.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Great now I might guess

The other 4 is 2 from Namco and 2 from square

Explanation

Konami has 3 characters

Capcom has 3 characters

And now Sega has 3 characters

 

[osby]

He's from ATLUS, which is owned by SEGA. So, yes, SEGA technically has three characters in Smash now.

I feel like an All-Out Attack would be more interesting than Sinful Shell.

@Onereasonanddone

what about me?

Come on, characters don't get chosen because balancing numbers.

That's a pretty cool theory!

But, as much as I want her, unfortunately, I just don't think she has the best chances...

 

[Deleted member]

Aight y'all I'm gonna make a serious bet

If there is a character revealed at VGA 2018 AND it's somebody on my sig then I will search up fanart of Isabelle on deviantart, find the most degenerate yet SFW pic there, and use it as my avatar for 2 weeks. I will also put that purple dog from Littlest Pet Shop on my sig in the "realistic wants" section and support her for a month. Yep, a month.

It's SUPER unlikely that I'm right so I feel comfortable making this bet.

nvm I didn't see the "in your sig" part
But SlickWylde still has to change his stuff.

It's 2018 and people still think Smash is purely Nintendo all-stars

 

[Dyamanttine]

I'm almost sure we're getting someone from Tales of Series

Nintendo getting a new company's favor? What exactly do you mean by new? Because Atlus has been around since the 80's, and they've always had a good relationship with Nintendo

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Wait joker is from Sega?

Atlus who is with Sega

(im not that hyped for him, but we got an ANIME rep! kinda)

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Imma **** everyone up with Joker

Yall finna get shot

 

[YoshiandToad]

Smash isn't solely a celebration of Nintendo, it's a celebration of video games as a whole...

Then give me industry and game changing characters: Your Lara Crofts, Your Jill Valentines or Chris Redfields, heck even Steve is actually a game and genre defining mascot. I'm not sure Joker is.

I meant a new company within Smash, although since they're under Sega's banner I guess not.

 

[SquashiniKun]

How would you react if the last DLC character we get is from an upcoming project that Sakurai is working on.
