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.

My Queen :ultzelda:no longer feels bad! I'd have preferred the stone cold ***** version from Twilight Princess, but Din's Fire no longer going helpless is wonderful.
I'm coming around on the new design. She's absolutely adorable, and the moveset is much more functional. I don't feel like I'm fighting against the game's normal flow to make her work anymore.

SideB and downB offstage puts reliable recovery within the realm of reason again. UpB feels more precise. The new shothop mechanic makes landing heels so much easier, even at a small price in power. The only thing I miss from old Zelda, aside from her TP look (best Zelda) is her dtilt. It has almost zero use now aside from following up with a dash attack at low percents.

Whenever can we expect a new Nintendo Direct? It's possible that a new character will also be showcased there, maybe linked with a new game or a game we know about for a while (Fire Emblem Three Houses is everyone's suspect and you all know it).

They were usually bimonthly so I'd say January, although I expect February for some reason, probably cause I remember Persona 5 releasing in February and Nintendo WOULD want to play with that

Why would one game that only potentiall will show up on Switch be the reason for such a delay? There's probably way more than that. If Persona 5 comes to Switch, they can just announce that in February.

Man, assuming Piranha Plant comes out in February that month is gonna be a good month.

How to train your Dragon 3, the possible reveal of Pokemon Generation 8, and the release of the Ultimate's top tier fighter.

It isn't a delay as Nintendo's been inconsistent with directs for a while. And it's not just Persona 5 potentially being on the Switch, it's also Joker. Joker clearly isn't far enough in development to show us anything other than "He's in". But in about 2 months? There's a good chance he'd be presentable with them showing an actual trailer along with a release date

That could be. But I don't see why it couldn't just be shown separately form the Direct. To be honest I do hope we get some new big Nintendo titles to beef the Switch up with solid first party titles as yet another Zelda, Metroid Prime 4, a new Donkey Kong (Country) game, and whatever else they can bring, possibly bring back like F-Zero or surprises like a Kid Icarus Uprising remake / sequel for Switch or something.

To put it simply, we have no ****ing clue when the next general direct is.

The last, non-Smash was in September, an entire 3 months ago, let that sink it.


January or Feb both are likely, Feb seems more likely since they'd pull the "Piranha Plant is available after the Direct" and then drop some gameplay of Joker with a release date for him, while teasing DLC character 3.

I mean, Persona 5 is a pretty major game so it being on a different console for a different audience, ESPECIALLY after Joker's announcement, would be a big deal too. It's just speculation on my part though

A new Kid Icarus would be dope.

But man, I just want some footage of Metroid 4 already!

I forgot Joker was voiced by Xander Mobus, pfff, The Announcer is now officially a character. That's awesome.

I love looking up VAs because now I know Ryuji is not only Forrest but also Meruem and Saitama too.
This is something I like doing as well.
Digimon was literally made cause they wanted to market tamagotchi to boys

There's as also the canon lore about digimon being tamagotchi from space or something i forgot how it went.

but no, Tamagotchi=Digimon
I've never heard that Digimon lore before, like ever. It must have been super, super early in it's life or something (like G1 early).

But yes, Digimon and Tamagotchi are "unrelated" but two sides of the same coin regardless.

I honestly do hope that Piranha Plant is available before the supposed Feb release date though.


I'm gonna pull the one time use entitlement card here, but considering early adopters got to play with Mewtwo like two-weeks before everyone else, feels a bit odd that we wouldn't get the same with Piranha Plant.


That, and pretty much everyone's going to have Plant if they release him for the early adopters in like, mid-January anyway.

Man, when Smash 6 rolls around, I really hope we revert to the classic OoT Link design with BotW Link as an alt costume.

His already projectile heavy gameplay now has a soccerball that explodes. I just aint about that life, man.

Ultimate is doing really well.

It's sold over a million just in Japan in the last few days, for comparison games like Odyssey and Let's Go were in the ten thousands in their first days I believe.

Isn't that awesome? Sakurai definitely deserves it.

Okay but for real though the human/ghost hybrid thing going on is kinda sick. Like, it's ****ing metal.
intsys seeing if they can get their community to make a waifu out of someone when you can see their literal ribcage

If Piranha Plant does end up coming with a stage after all, then I guess we can kiss any chances of a second wave of DLC goodbye.
That would be pretty upsetting if that's the case. There are enough Mario stages that fit Piranha Plant as it is.
