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.

Yeah, she was tough. One time, I had almost won, but ran out of time, which frickin' ticked me off. My fighter was Marth and one of the ways I was able to get her continuously was by abusing Marth's Grab Down and Back-Air.

So could Reggie's quote be a hint to mostly third party DLC?

That could be a good or a bad thing

Good because its good from a business and marketing standpoint, and a lot of people will be happy if characters like Banjo or Steve get in

Bad because non of my wanteds are third party except for KOS-MOS lmao

Slrsy if you're gonna make a game about NINTENDO ALLSTARS at least make them have a game on a Nintendo console

I mean, I don't disagree, but when dealing with total hypotheticals I think there are plenty of characters who would translate to the Smash formula well.

Also, I'm just saying, Reggie's comments pretty clearly made it seem like Ultimate specifically has the goal of being a great gaming crossover overall.

We have All-Stars that aren't Nintendo characters and Nintendo characters that aren't All-Stars and we have characters that are neither. I think we moved beyond it.

Ya but at least don't advertise it as the ultimate Nintendo crossover because is like 50% Nintendo and 50% randomness

Where it is advertised like that?

And 50%? Let's be real, we have 11 guests in a 75+ character cast. A few more won't make or break it.

I'm probably very late on this but...
"Fils-Aime explained that Sakurai and the team working on Ultimate’s DLC don’t necessarily see characters from franchises not typically associated with Nintendo as a limiting factor when it comes to Smash Bros."

All bets are off. We're getting Kratos, Dovahkiin, Gex and Arthur Morgan.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Ok, so three of those four I really have no clue about and don't care, but the fourth makes up for it and then some.

That's completely what I'm expecting.

If you watch the Nintendo store reactions from E3, it wasn't the first parties getting the big cheers. It was Sonic, Ryu, Cloud (especially Cloud). And the veterans who missed 4. So Snake got double the cheers.

It really seems like most companies are branching out their DLC to third parties. I wouldn't be surprised if each of the characters we end up getting is an out-there third party pick. And there will be LOADS of salt. Still, I can't see a fourth-rung somewhat niche Nintendo first party character generating anywhere near as much hype as a third party.

I've pretty well decided I'm not going for the fighter pack until I see who's in it and decide if the completionist in me needs it. Or if any of them look awesome and have great stages. Or if there's someone announced to hype me to the point i stop caring.

Yeah, and it should've been Dante
Ahem, anyway I could understand why they chose Bayonetta due to its continued existence past 2008 being owed to Ninty, (or "1st in Europe among realizable choices" if you believe that), but Tracer would just be Nintendo going "Hm, what's popular nowadays? That." without any regard as to if she'll even be important over the next few years.

In short, doomguy tho

Honestly a third party centric pass would be great. Of course there's Nintendo characters I love and still want in, but third parties have also been some of the hypest announcements in Smash history.

Some big third parties I'd be interested in seeing:

- Kratos + Atreus
- Dante
- Dovahkiin
- Tails/Eggman

Feel like these guys could bring real interesting movesets.

I disagree, but Doomguy for DLC Ultimate would be the hypest thing ever.

I don’t know how to feel about how DLC will work out. I don’t feel like every pick will be 3rd Party, but at the same time, you make an extremely valid point in your post.

Anywho, *slams fist on table* SORA! SORA! SORA!

I’m probably gonna look like this in a second for saying so and I’ll eat my words if someone like Doomguy makes it in, but am I the only one that thinks any protagonist from a first-person game would not led itself well to the style of this game?

I guess. I don't even root for her particularly, but for example, Tracer would fit into Smash well.

Also not familiar with the character, but Doomguy seems campy enough to work in Smash.

Snake is the closest thing we have to that but he's just a lot of explosives i think a fortnite rep could fit this slot even though fortnites not a first person shooter but people would actually go insane if that happened

Preposterous.

No, no. I think Dante's awesome and would 100% be amazing and he and Bayonetta are equally amazing. I disagree with the notion that guest characters have to have history with Nintendo to be in Smash.

I could say "why not just everyone ever" and everyone knows it's because it just isn't happening.

If thats the case then speculation about dlc wouldn't really be relevant because it could literally be any video game character ever

No **** not ever video game character can be in one game. I'm just saying I don't thinks a guest character needs to have history with history to be in Smash.

Not FPS, I just mean first-person in general. To me I feel like it’d be hard to have a character’s personality and familiarity show through and feel like you’re playing said character when in the source game you’re not really focused on the character since you’re looking through the character’s perspective. I dunno if I’m getting what I’m trying to say across, am I wrong for thinking this?
