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.

Speaking of Cygams and Granblue free****

The former game director is on stage shilling his Dataplan for free granblue ****

HRT **** off
Uh, are you okay there buddy?

Could you at least explain more because I have little clue what this message is supposed to say.

Game director is supposedly making gacha gains like its sweet ad revenue for a family friendly youtuber.

HRT is the former director for Granblue Fantasy. He is a huge sponsor/ceo of a company that offers dataplans, which he then made a tie-in for Granblue Fantasy to get free ****.

I know you're reading this. Vote 2B.
What are the odds of the mandatory Janurary direct next month having Smash in it?
Well, Sakurai said the November direct would be the final Smash Bros. Direct before release date.

Considering how specific those choice of words were, I'd consider those odds to be... 3/4. There's no way I can't be wrong, because I used highly advanced algorithmic techniques, also known as "I dunno. Probably really high. I'm just guessin'."

To show of Piranha Plant and/or Joker, very definite plausible.

But for something new entirely? Maybe Joker's stage or something.

If the direct has Sakurai in it, He'd better be wearing Joker's mask just like he wore Bayonetta's glasses that one time. Otherwise, I'm going on strike.

Then it would mean I can't say I did it before Sakurai...

Probably PP with a concrete release date. I don't think we're getting more on Joker until a March/April Smash Direct, at which point they'll show off the first wave of Mii costumes, give him a full trailer with a moveset breakdown, and end with a reveal of Pack #2 (maybe to be released alongside him like Lucas/Roy/Ryu or Corrin/Bayo, but probably not).

Honestly, I am willing to bet Plant will be out on the 15th of February when the amiibo drops.

Oh my GAWD, I don't want to be a character traitor, but goddamn after randomly deciding to play Wolf, he's everything I've ever wanted from Ike.

He's got
  • consistent kill options
  • a potent spacing tool
  • fast aerials
  • Fast tilts
  • fast smashes
  • fast ground speed
  • fast air speed
  • non-commital moves
  • fast pokes
  • the ability to go offstage more often.
The entire WORKS.

It's just... so beautiful.

New Yoshi game announced the day afterward.
What do you do?

And after you cut one hand off, how would you cut off your only hand left? You need 2 hands to cut 1 off. Unless you got someone to help you, like your local serial killer.

Then I'd be ****ed. That's how high the stakes for me to change mains in Smash is...

Lucas has been my main since Brawl but I was real sad that he wasn't QUITE well rounded enough to stack up against the tougher fighters. While he still struggles, Ultimate FINALLY gave my son an actually good use for PK Freeze by having it send people horizontally rather than straight up. Lucas finally has an amazing, probably too annoying offstage kill tool.

You know who's a character I unironically like and want to actually pick up?

:ultpichu:

Seriously, the guy's a beast, and I love playing as him. He's like Pikachu, but faster and stronger with the trade-off of self-damage. Dude's like Deku from My Hero Academia in that he's got too much power for his body to handle.

Also he's ****ing adorable.

LOOK AT THE ONE WITH THE LITTLE FOCUS SASH, HE'S SO CUTE AND I LOVE HIM.

Also Richter is pretty cool. I need to get much better with him though. Pichu too.

It's so weird that some people are calling Pichu potentially top tier because of all the buffs they recieved.

What a time to be alive.

Hmmm, I dunno, looking through a lot of characters and they're all pretty step-on-me-please material.

Gay as ****

2) If you're interested in granblue, they're starting the Gacha Roulette in a few days so now is a great time to join

Damn, that is pretty strong.

World Of Light can be broken up into 3 parts:

Part 1: this is pretty fun!
Part 2: this is starting to drag.
Part 3: this is awesome!

8/10 would smash again. Although I'm fond of SSE's cutscenes, the gameplay was hit or miss. WOL definitely delivered on single player content.

You okay there, pal?
You're beginning to sound like Luigi The President Luigi The President when he first conducted research on Katalina and shared his findings with us.


Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I can't tell.
I'm sorry, I just realized this is what it feels like to use a top tier character.
The power.
The speed.
The STYLE.
IT'S INTOXICATING.

See, as someone who had mained Brawl Wolf, I find Ultimate Wolf underwhelming. I'm not sure what it is... well, besides the sucky new f-smash.

Currently playing a lot of :ultkrool::ultcloud::ultridley::ultganondorf::ultbowser:. So basically my Smash 4 rotation but with two new big boi lizards.

Been playing some online and This is the most fun I've had with Marcina in a long time. Also having a lot of fun with Ridley. It's so satisfying to gimp recoveries with his neutral B.

Is it just me or is Bayonetta awful in ultimate. She plays like a brawl character or some ****.
She had to pay for her SSS tier crimes.

I've read some of her moves don't kill until sub-200 which is hilarious if true.
