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.

Elma's seen a surge in popularity recently, plus she's a female character which we need more of
Also we might not get another Xenoblade lol

Oh, on the topic of Xenoblade... I have two good reasons why it should be counted as a third-party franchise in Smash:
1. On Smash 4's CSS, :ultshulk: was after :ultdoc::ultdarkpit::ultlucina:, with the other third-parties.
2, Monolithsoft has had associations with other companies before, unlike HAL Labs or GAME FREAK, which are Nintendo and nothing else.

Considering the success of XC2 I hella doubt we aren't getting another one unless Monolith's new IP kills it somehow

And Elma's recent popularity doesn't change that she's a character who came from an unpopular Wii U game and doesn't really have the same popularity as Rex/Pyra. I really really want her, but nothing will change that fact unless X gets a port or XCX2 comes out and has her in it and sells well.

Also, iirc Nintendo owns the Xenoblade IP, making it a first party IP and Monolith Soft a second party studio (that Nintendo basically owns at this point). It's not like Monolith can just make the next Xenoblade on the XB1.

If we're on the topic of music, there's still the possibility that Sakurai may have listened to my remixes.
This is next to impossible, but how would you guys feel if he put some of my remixes in? (You can click the Soundcloud link in my sig to hear them)

As much as I'm eager for Piranha Plant and Joker dropped (I purchased the Fighter Pass immediately after the Joker reveal), I'm just more interested in making it through the next few days to Christmas Break. I just want to rest awhile and not work lol.

This is completely untrue and a quick google search would tell you otherwise, just look at their gameography

2B is a character I can support.

But I doubt it'll happen to a 99.9% chance, and 'the list' has nothing to do with it.


It feels like Square's splitting up its bigger games as of now into various fighting games.


Tekken gets Noctis
SC gets 2B
Smash gets...........yet to be determined.

Speaking of Square having their characters cross over in fighting games, I feel like Square used to almost never have their characters make guest appearances in other companies' games (Cloud was almost the PS2 exclusive character for Soulcaliber 2, but plans fell through)... But after Cloud got in Smash 4, I feel like they had a change of heart, and they've been letting their characters make guest appearances... Do you think Cloud in Smash is the reason why Square is more open to crossovers nowadays?

The Find Mii stage as Omega or Battlefield stage with the Final Battle music from Golden Sun gives me Golden Sun vibes. The background and everything makes it almost feel like you fight on Mount Aleph.

I have three non-fighter spirits left to get - one (Sandbag) requires me to KO three level 9 computers with meteor smashes, which I don't know how to use very well. Another (Metal Mario) only shows up by random chance on the Spirit Board, and the third (Gold Mario) requires Metal Mario to unlock.

I'm not sure which of the first two is more frustrating. At least I have all of the songs, I think. (there's 876 of them, right?)

Also, I've been blocked by Hideki Kamiya on Twitter for responding to one of his posts in English, which is both funny and annoying. (he made the original tweet in both Japanese and English!)

I get carsick real easily so it is. I'll probably end up stumbling out of the car and throwing up at a gas station at 11 pm and freaking out some kids by accident at some point and I'm NOT looking forwards to that >_<

i had a very specific incident last year

Play Smash on handheld mode? The battery won’t last the 12 hours, but it’ll fill some time at least. I always play handheld cause I don’t have a own TV, so that’s what I would do.

-nevermind.

Why are "Assist Trophies are a waiting line" and "Xenoblade is third party" still arguments? It's like 2014 all over again.

Definitely the first one.

RNG sucks, but I'll take it over a requirement I don't possibly have the skill to pull off.

Funnily enough, I completed that by spamming Ganondorf's down air against seven level 9 Jigglypuffs (I found out that it can be four or more CPUs), only to learn that completing that challenge just gets a classic ticket.

To get Sandbag, you have to complete the challenge for getting 250% damage at once, which makes more sense and is much easier to do. (Special Smash counts, so you can just play as a heavyweight in a heavy metal match)
