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.

They're sisters in the sense of a witch coven.

Watch any sort of media about witches and typically even if the witches aren't blood related they still call one another ''sister."

That's kind of ironic since Catholics do the same.

RPG speed stats don't necessarily translate into high movement speed in an action game, as they serve to decide who moves first. Pikachu and Pichu have a lower base speed than Charizard, and yet they are faster than him. Squirtle is the same, and yet he is faster than someone like Lucario.
Ike had high speed because pretty much every FE protagonist is warranted to have very good stats. Robin can also have good speed in his game.

Yeah uh huh except they do for Cloud apparently!

This is what I was getting at. I agree but when Cloud was included they made him feel as fast and strong as Cloud was in his original game. I was just remarking that, ability-wise, the Fire Emblem character most closely modeled after Cloud ability-wise (not in terms of personality or character arc obviously) was given all these limitations in Smash, but Cloud himself wasn't. I was just saying that if Tracer gets her time rewind, then my personal idea of Shulk having something similar to represent his visions in his original game not making it in and having a counter special instead will make for a situation similar to Ike's.

HA,
tell that to the GBA Lords. They're all universally subpar to the god-units they get during the story.
RIP Viable Lyn past the tutorial.

And actually, Ike is that fast.
If you actually look at his cutscenes and in-game combat animations, he's extremely fast and acrobatic.
Like, at his most basic level, PoR Ranger Ike, his critical hit involves him going so fast he cuts the enemy so fast it looks like he teleports behind the enemy.
And by the end of that game, he's regularly doing backflips and giant leaping slashes. He's essentially swordmaster speed with berserker strength.

Compare that with Robin's cutscenes and animations and it's definitely not as impressive.

I mean it makes sense considering Ike is just Fire Emblem's Guts.

Nah, it's probably Marth. I mean, he's already got the "leader of a large militia" and "dreams of ruling a kingdom" bit downpat.
All he needs is some good old fashioned mind-break and a behelit and he's good to go.

That's a weird comparison. Ike have limitations because his character design involves being very heavy. Not because Sakurai take a look at Ike's blade beams and decided it was too much for Smash.

Also please don't @ me Idon, I don't want to turn this into a debate.

Different design approaches I suppose. In Dissidia, Cloud was actually on the slow but strong side of the spectrum, very unlike his Smash incarnation.

Is it real though because that's not James Marsden as the cop. Unless they touched him the hell up. It looks more like Chris Pratt to be honest.

Could you imagine The Sonic Movie being good and Detective Pikachu being mediocre? Long stretch but could you imagine?

It's a shame because Pratt is a more charismatic lead than Marsters.

Marsters is my biggest hang up about the Sonic movie.

Ok, a little game.

You get in the game your most wanted, but when you play them your skill gets worse every 20 seconds, until the point that your reaction time is abismally slow. Your skill resets to base when the match finishes.

You know, it'd be awesome to have FamilyJules, Toxicxeternity, Jonny Atma, LittleVMills, and RicaardEb work on an awesome metal soundtrack.

Aww, that's really bad for people who already have poor reaction times like me. This only really benefits tournament players because while they can play god-like as their Mains already, they can play demi-god-like as their favorites and still kick ass in a casual environment.

I'll take it.
I don't need to be good with a character to love them.
Plus, even if I can't play them, everyone else can, amd they can be immortalized in Smash forever with their main games getting a huge burst in popularity and maybe A MAINLINE TITLE THAT ISN'T A BUDGET 3DS GAME.

I think I'd rather watch Ultimate than play it for now.

I'm just that bored enough at the moment.
