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 respect Minecraft as a game, and I hate the "cringe culture" surrounding it. But my problem with Steve is that he's just a nothing character.

This may be an unpopular opinion of sorts, but I care more about what the characters actually are rather than just what they can do. Not saying a good moveset doesn't matter, but I'm less inclined to get on board with a character with their moveset is all they have to offer. Steve most certainly has moveset potential, no questions asked, but I can't bring myself to care about that if Steve himself is an emotionless blank slate.

There are many other avatar characters in Smash, but at least they can actually emote, have voices, or have some shed of personality. All Steve has is just the "oof" death sound.

Nothing against Steve's supporters, I do feel bad for those who feel like their most wanted characters are hated by everyone.

That's just my own two cents on the matter. If it ends up happening, I won't like it, but I'll get over it. Already bought the Fighter Pass so I'm forced to get him anyway. :p

hideki kamiya posted a poll on twitter asking which character his followers would want in smash bros

Dante, Ammy, Wonder-Red, and Viewtiful Joe were the choices

could this mean something? probably not, but bayonetta IS still in the game, and capcom is pretty lenient with letting stuff in to smash too...
Hmm, if he's asking for votes, and this actually turns out to sway something, this would have to be for DLC past Season 1 as that's already been decided.

If that's the case then this bodes well for Phoenix Wright potentially being in Season 1.

Fortnite ain't dying anytime soon, no matter how badly some strangely want it to. There's a difference in being the center of pop-culture and having no one play your game anymore. Game still makes big vbucks and has a large, established playerbase.

Also, I'm gonna be that guy and say both games are fine and the toxicity thrown at them by the internet is silly.
'WAH no u!!!!'

But yeah they're fine I think Fornite's aesthetic is pretty nice, as is Minecraft's in spots.

The creation of sliced bread predates minecraft by 81 years so why don't we have a character named sliced bread and his echo is loaf.

Kamiya has no connections to capcom these days. He just made the characters in the poll.

Technically, :ultmiifighters: and :ultvillager: are nothing characters too, so this argument is kinda invalid

But sliced bread and loaf are kinda niche characters, don't you think? Plus, I think jam and peanut butter might be more deep and interesting character choices while still being recognizable.

Loaf has completely different proportions. It'd more than likely end up as a semi-clone.

I see people bring up Game and watch when talking about Steve’s animations, and I don’t think it’s a valid comparison. The key difference between Game and watch and Steve is that Steve actually does naiamte in his original games, it’s just purposefully stiff. In mine craft that doesn’t matter so much, cause it’s first person and the entire world is fairly stiff so it fits. When you bring that into smash, a 2d game with a side-view camera, it becomes a bit more of an issue as the player is getting a constant look at Steve making his animation, or lack there-of more prominent. This would also potentially make steve’s moves a bit harder to read smash is a hectic game where the player has to focus on every character. Steve sticks out. Game and watch, however, doesn’t animate at all, and more importantly is 2d. This gives his animations more flexibility and makes him easier to read. He also sticks out admittedly, but that’s due to being flat and not so much the aesthetics an animations like Steve. Those are my 3 cents anyways.
Yes I know mine craft story mode exists.
They wouldn’t have to port his animations 1-1; small embellishments to them (smoother transitions between actions, leaning into attacks at least slightly, ect,) would go a long way with readability without having to make him more articulated like in Story Mode.

Red's voice in Ultimate is the reason he chooses not to speak in the main series Pokémon games.

But sliced bread isn't a video game character, so he's already not happening :p /s

That would help a bit, but I think Steve’s animations are inherently too stiff to work all that well.
i'm inclined to agree with him at the moment
Oh I’m not saying I disagree.
