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.

I think the next DLC will really set somewhat of a vision to what's coming.. assuming they don't reveal all 4 together.
No idea why Nintendo is keeping that a secret, since everything is already decided :/

Guys, let me ask you all

Character you wanted to play the most pre-release
Character you've played the most
Character you're confident the most with so far
Character you picked up you never thought you would
Character you intended to play, but have dropped/put on hold
Veteran from a previous game you've used but aren't clicking with yet

Here's me

Character you wanted to play the most pre-release:ultwolf:
Character you've played the most :ultwolf:
Character you're confident the most with so far :ultwolf:
Character you picked up you never thought you would :ultyounglink:
Character you intended to play, but have dropped/put on hold :ultpokemontrainer:
Veteran from a previous game you've used but aren't clicking with yet N/A
The answer for each is simple
First 3- :ultpit::ultpit::ultpit::ultdarkpit::ultdarkpit::ultdarkpit:
never thoughts- :ultlink::ultpalutena:
dropped/hold/break- every newcomer but :ultinkling::ultpiranha:
lack of clicks- somehow :ultmario:

I'd assume because they want to surprise us.
It makes sense...
If they want to keep the hype throughout the year, they'll probably space out the character reveals

Spiderman in Smash. Can we make it happen?
I just realized I said Smash directs originally.

F'in A.

I mean I'm sure someone will seriously think that Marvel Ultimate Alliance means something for Smash will be Disney/Marvel related.

Shocked that Sora suppoters haven't taken it as ''SEE DISNEY AND NINTENDO ARE TALKING! SORA CONFIRMED!"

Character I picked up but never thought I would :ultbowser: I really like him this game
Character you intended to play, but have dropped/put on hold :ultluigi: I was excited about poltergesit/floaty jump, but I'm not good with him
Veteran from a previous game I've used but aren't clicking with yet :ultrobin: There's just something different about them this game. I don't like it :( But I won't give up

Character you wanted to play the most pre-release: :ultinkling: by far.
Character you've played the most: :ultinkling:
Character you're confident the most with so far: :ultinkling:, but I'm starting to feel really good about my :ultkrool:.

Character you picked up you never thought you would: :ultyoshi:. I did not expect to like him as much as I do, and I'm heavily considering making him a secondary.
Character you intended to play, but have dropped/put on hold: :ultvillager:. Was going to secondary them and there's a good chance I may still try to learn them, but I need to play them and other characters on the roster more before I can say for sure.
Veteran from a previous game you've used but aren't clicking with yet: Most of who I've tried has pretty much clicked with me instantly, so I don't think I have a character to fill this spot.

I mean, Disney's choice to allow Marvel to make UA3 Switch exclusive when it could make a lot more money being multi-platform is kinda suspect, but it's not necessarily a strong point for Sora. Dude's still gotta go through Disney legal and that's a con large enough to balance any pros for him.

What? Are you implying that Sora Supporter might understand the weakness of their characters and doesn't see every little sign as a way to confirm it?

In MK8 they revealed all the upcoming DLCs, and that worked just fine. No hype was diminished.. and it's Smash after-all.
Why would I pay for something I know nothing about? I went for the MK8's easily.
Hmm, that puts a good question. Will those fighters be sold separately? If not, then again, why keep it a secret. It's a headache more than a hype really :/

They don't want to reveal anything too early, less it fizzle out. I'm guessing PP and Joker will be released in the first half of 2019, which is why they revealed them as early as they did. PP in February, then Joker sometime between February and June

Comparing Smash DLC to Mario Kart 8 DLC is like comparing apples to oranges...
They're different games with different philosophies, and different people behind them...
Whenever Smash announces a new character it's an event. You gotta have every character have their time to shine

Like I said before, they want to surprise us...
And remember Sakurai told us to really only get the pack if you trusted the character choices...

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't answer my question of why? What could be the reason they don't want that? It's already been decided and it won't be decided upon unless Sakurai is confident he can work it out.
The only thing maybe is that those DLCs are tied to upcoming games.

Yes, because all of the DLC fighters are sold separately, it's just that you have the option to buy them all together with the Fighters Pass.

I'm betting:
  • We get the Plant in February alongside Joker gameplay (and a release date) and the reveal of Fighter #2.
  • Fighter #2 gets gameplay at E3 alongside the reveal of Fighters #3 and #4.
    • Fighter #3 gets gameplay and a release date, Fighter #4 is just a tease.
    • Fighter #2 and #3 release (close) together similar to the Plant and Joker
  • Fighter #4 gets gameplay and a release alongside the reveal of Fighter #5 in Q3 2019.
  • Fighter #5 gets gameplay and Season 2 is announced Q4 2019 or Q1 2020 to go until Q1 2022
    • Season 2 could entail a Ballot for the final position
The speculation for this game is going to last until 2020 with the potential to go until 2022 and beyond...geez that's a long time. How did you guys do it last time?

They're not that different to me, and well.. yeah.. trust choices like Piranha Plant. The choice I trust is the choice I want.

What? You don't want more characters?

Personally this gives me more time to move up the rankings. I ALMOST have enough likes to make it onto the bottom of the top rankings for likes (I'm like 100 likes below last place) and I care about this way more than I should.

I'm just sayin', if people were to go and appreciate my old posts right about now I would have no problems with that. ;)

You know what would be the coolest thing about the challenger packs?

If each character’s trailers were all connected in a sense making a mini story out of them.

Every character in their trailer gets a Smash invitation hence why it’s shown in the Eshop page and it’s revealed that the invitation that Joker stole belongs to the last DLC character.

The character I wanted pre release is :ultwolf:

The character I've played the most is :ultdiddy:

The character I never thought I'd pick up on is:ultpikachu:, probably the new alts influenced me to use them more.

The character I intended to use but put on hold is :ultken: only cause I have yet to use him, I actually haven't used that much on the roster yet.

Veteran that I used but aren't clicking with them yet is :ultfox: probably because:ultwolf: is back.

A few months ago (before I joined the Geno gang) I posted something along the lines of “all I need in this game are Incineroar and Isabelle.

And look what happened :ultincineroar::ultisabelle:.

I’m going to use my dark magic to summon another character. Not the one you want, but the one you need.

A teeny tiny sadistic part of me wants to see Sans make it in just so I can see the entire Undertale hatebase throw a toddler temper tantrum at once.

I am finally free from classes for good.

My write-up for Smash Ultimate base game speculation, the November director, and thoughts on possible DLC newcomers will come by the end of this month.

I am pretty excited to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, this may be the last time I take speculation passionately for good.

Look forward to it.

I'm gonna be real. I think everyone is sleeping on Sans. He's really popular in Japan, Undertale was a HUGE indie game, and two other huge indie characters are an AT (Shovel Knight) and Spirit (Shantae), he's suspiciously not a Ness echo in base, and Undertale is on the Switch with exclusive content.

Also, come on, Undertale music in Smash would be dope.
Give me Megalovania, Ghost Fight, and Spider Dance remixes.
