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.

Do you have a Yarn Yoshi amiibo?

I believe that unlocks the Spirit automatically...
Don't really care about the spirit itself. It's the challenge I want to beat.

On a side note, the cute references these battles have is too much. Love em.

How's everyone think of Rathalos considering he's my boi's final boss?
He's cool for sure. I kind of want to play MH right about now. But man, I would loved to see Volvagia get in. It always saddens me when I fight him, but the hammers in Smash could easily replace the Megaton Hammer.

Man I still wished Medusa at least made it as a boss especially since I heard of that rumor...

It gets awfully boring and monotonous if you play it for a long period of time, in one sitting. I'm pretty sure it was designed with the Switch's portability in mind, where you could beat a few spirits on the bus ride home or some ****. Naturally, some people ain't OK with that, just the same way people weren't OK with BOTW's shrines and SMO's moons.
I loved BotW Shrines and SMO's Moons, lol. I'm also no stranger to repetitive games (looking at a guy who loves JRPGs and roguelike dungeon crawlers), so I don't think that'll bug me personally.

TBH I like WoL's approach more than SSE's. SSE is fun, but take the cut scenes and bosses and you have a mediocre Kirby game you can play as other Nintendo characters. WoL feels more structured, and fitting for a fighting game like Smash.

WoL is very fun and addictive. I'm never going to use the spirits in serious smash battles, but in terms of a single player mode, I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it is.

fighting game single player ever?
Yes.
Also, nice to see that it's hard. I've come to appreciate a good challenge in my games nowadays. Even game modes I used to hate like A Hat in Time's Death Wish I've had a change of heart on, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sorry it wasn't for you, though.
Difficulty isn't the issue with WoL. You can be difficult while still being fun. And WoL itself is braindead easy.

Now, tedium?

Now that's an issue no matter what the hell kind of games you like. And WoL, suffers from that. A LOT.

What if there was a Soupy Smash Bros.? All the fighters are more liquid and brothy than in this iteration. That would be good, right?

People not knowing where Super Smash Bros. can go from here (for future installments) have obviously not considered Soupy Smash Bros. yet.

People get angry over a feather on Mr.Game and Watch's head to the point it gets removed.

No one's causing a stink about a quite offensive spirit of a girl that was implied to be ***** and had a bomb shoved up her crotch.

Not gonna lie I laughed my ass off when I saw that the Paz spirit gives you a Bob-omb.

I find the Paz sticker to be in HORRIBLE taste, it's the equivalent of putting "He went out having a blast" on someone's tombstone that died to an explosion.
Except Paz is a fictional character. There’s no friends, family, or legacy to offend.

It’s just a joke with the hilarious contrast between the grim setting of MGS where terrorist organizations plant bombs in people and the happy little bombs with faces in Mario.

It’s just some top-quality dark humor.

Why would they?
It's not like it was censored out.
And how is it offensive? It's in-game and it still references MGS:GZ.

I mean, it's kind of horrific.


Giving a **** victim an identify of what killed them is a really ****ty thing to do.

So? It's still nothing more than a reference for those that get it.
It's not like we have a demographic of people who have had bombs put into them to get offended by it compared to say, native americans.

Eh, I just find it in really poor taste.

I see where Shroob is coming from, it's gruesome how she died and referencing it by making her "boost" when equipped be her method of death is pretty sad

It doesn't matter if she's not real, the point is that it's not something that should be treated like that.

WoL isn't meant to be played in a long sitting. it's a pick and play mode that is good for casual handheld use and non-serious couch play.

Random question, but
Does anyone know why Lucina's classic mode picture is of her with Pikachu Libre?

"Did you know that Lucina is a girl?" obviously

You're talking to someone who enjoyed Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity.

Tedium doesn't bug me. To each their own, though. :p

This is where I'm coming from.


"It's a reference to GZs", yeah, and it's in poor taste. The character was ***** and had a bomb put in her crotch. This isn't a funny joke, even if she's fake, **** jokes aren't funny, and it being a reference doesn't excuse it.

Potentially offending an entire race is quite different than potentially offending the one or two people on the planet who had a bomb shoved up into them.
Though you're also ignoring that she's a **** victim. That's how the bomb got up there in the first place.

Like, if she just 'blew up' and that was the end of it, it'd be one thing.

If there was an Aerith sticker that, say, equipped you with a Killing Edge? Poor taste? Eh, sure, but whatever.


It's the fact that the bomb was put in her through **** which is ridiculously ****ed up.

I think Paz is supposed to referenced Peace Walker considering she wields it to use it on someone and not Ground Zeroes because that is INCREDIBLY ****ed up
Yeah, I'm going to ask: Which game's artwork do they use for the reference with the Spirit? Because if it's Peace Walker it's just an unfortunate coincidence, but if it's Ground Zero... Yeah...
