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.

The first bits of this video remind me that I still like Bowser's character a lot of the time, at least in the context of the RPGs and stuff.
Seeing him in the doctor's office is great.

well yeah but is it still the legend of Zelda?

Honestly the only switch-up I'm pining for is to take Link off of the silent role. He deserves dialogue at this point.
And don't bring up the CDi games
Really waiting for a ZELDA game where maybe just maybe....we could play as ZELDA

Why would the name change? Lol
Zelda is still involved, she'd just be a bad guy this time.

Are bad guys exempt from having legends?

EXPECTATIONS HIGH AS A KITE

Wanted Travis since high school

Also HD versions of the first two games would be so clean!
Travis was my Brawl want. It's crazy to me that characters I long since gave up on like Phoenix or Travis and characters I never even dared to dream could make it like Joker are either confirmed or plausible now.

But I mean, like I say constantly, I'll take anyone at this point. I'm not greedy.

Back in Brawl days I wanted Dimentio from Super Paper Mario.


Even with Joker in I don't think that's happening...

But imagine him getting something in the mail though...

However if you had to make me choose, I'd pick Scorpion over him.

No, I'm with you. February at the earliest but E3 more likely. I just think it's fun to spread the word of a series I like that no one seems to have played, especially if it means possible ports plus a new game gets new eyes on the character.

I just keep thinking that a :ultbayonetta: situation can always happen.

and if it were to happen to anyone else it would be with Suda and No More Heroes.

Villain pool party

:ultkingdedede:: Great idea shell head this is amazing

:ultbowser::Yeah remember guys we're on my membership plans so let's not ruin the pool.

:ultkrool:: Yeah cuz all of us are covered in spikes and bring their terrible children

:ultbowser:: No one even invited you...

:ultridley:: I did

:ultbowser:: *shakes head* of course you did.

:ultincineroar:: Where's :ultdarksamus:?

:ultmewtwo:: In the changing room, :ultpiranha: go check on her.

:ultpiranha:: Hey are you okay...?

:ultdarksamus:: *Is actually an Asari under all that armor and looks at :ultpiranha: with serious eyes*

:ultdarksamus:: "I'm going to the pool party next door, tell everyone I got sick and went home"
Where's the woomy?

I came for the goddamn woomy.

Speaking of fun Nintendo things...

This probably means nothing, but there's going to be a big No More Heroes stream next week with English subtitles and they're teasing a huge announcement. Very much doubt it's Smash but a NMH2 port for Switch would be sick.
It does seem odd that there would be a "huge announcement" only a month before the game is released.

Like, what would they have to announce? I seriously, seriously, seriously doubt they'd announce another fighters pass character before Piranha Plant is even released, and I also doubt they'd announce HD rereleases that could potentially canibalize the sales of their new game. So. The **** are they going to announce?

Just wanna put this here. This was from an interview in 2017.

View attachment 182857
Plus...well, Travis Strikes Back is the second time a No More Heroes game was pushed from the intended release date to either help fill a Holiday gap due to a Smash delay or to fill a release date schedule and not compete.

SUDA51 was in the Brawl credits. This is the last ray of hope Travis supporters cling to. :(

Still, I don't see it really happening. I can wish all I want but yknow. Better to expect nothing and have fun with whatever we get. I already got one miracle.

There's absolutely no reason a Zelda descendant has to be on Team Good every time.
Somehow I don't trust Nintendo to handle a deep political narrative subverting character tropes by casting its titular royal character as a flawed but understandable antagonist.

I mean, they can't even handle a game where Peach is the star with any sort of nuance. Or a single woman on its staff, apparently.

I just want to play as Ganondorf.

Like, not even good guy Ganondordf, just a gerudo man that travels around getting more disillusioned by the culture that keeps his people in a desolate desert. Slowly gaining more dark magical power and physical strength but getting more and more ruthless in his pursuit of power.
That sounds like it'd be a neat game.

Let me play as Bowser and not Charles Martinet

I see the Zelda timeline was discussed again.

TBH all I want is a Zelda where I play as Zelda (and before anyone makes the joke, yes, I know CDI is a thing). Forget female Links, I wanna be Zelda and rescue Link. Either that, or make a coop Zelda with Link's sister from Wind Waker.

I like games where I have the option to be evil. Bioware games come to mind, with their Renegade/Rival routes.

It makes you feel powerful when you get to pick them, or all the more rewarding when you don't. If we got to play as a young Ganondorf faced with real problems and different paths to seizing the triforce of power, I'd be so down.

...then again. I fell for this once before.

For me, everything about it is perfect except for the current state of the online, the My Music problems, and anything that has to do with World of Light or Spirits.

I feel better just pretending all of that stuff doesn't exist.

You know what I want? Right now out of nowhere because I just thought of it?

A Zelda tactical RPG by Intelligent Systems, where the leader and protagonist is Zelda, a ****ing goddamn leader of men as she should be.

#notmyZelda

The undisputed objective order of best Princess Zeldas goes TP>OoT>SS>BotW>WW, with the 2D Zeldas thrown in somewhere. They don't get enough screen time.

I think Zelda could be the ultimate wartime strategist while still being dedicated to research.

I don't see why not considering her triangle of smartwise
