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.

What do you guys think is the least fitting spirit battle? So far, for me they have to be Gengar and Rouge. Donkey Kong and Fox just don't fit for those, I mean shouldn't Rouge at least be a female character since her whole thing is being sexy? I know she's also a thief and a rogue, but then she should be Wolf if anything.

I know this is a bit out of nowhere and at a time where most people are asleep, but in a year where pretty much every major western developer threw away any good will I had left for them, I just wanted to say that I appreciate ending such a bad year for the video game industry with a game like Ultimate. This game could have been monetized to hell and back, but instead we get such a ridiculous amount of content with tons of love poured into it for nothing but full price, which truly is an anomaly these days, especially with something that people feel so strongly about as Smash and the various IPs represented in it. I'm sure some of Ninendo's investors are shaking their heads and consider it wasted potential, just think of all the things they could have capitalized on with this game, or at the very least they could have planted the seeds to do so in the future, but somehow Nintendo continue to do the right thing despite how industry standards change.

I consider them one of the few companies left that still care about their core values and the people who they sell their products to, they're a safe zone in a market that continuously try to push the boundaries on how much they can deceive their customers. That Online is people's biggest complaint against them is a pretty good situation to find ourselves in when you look around and see how fans of Blizzard, Bethesda and Valve are completely lost as those studios have all but completely thrown away their identity.

I think there's just this large revelation going on between people and companies, showing a larger disconnect between groups of people at one level and those at another. It's not happening just in video games either, but tech, movies, etc. It's everywhere. You'd think that after what EA did in 2017, they'd have corrected course a bit, but no, they made it worse. Blizzard has now emerged as company completely disconnected from the fans that made them what they were. Yet Activision is releasing remasters of Crash/Spyro to the delight of fans. A weird mixing of good cop/bad cop is going on there. But it's probably just a circling of the proverbial drain.

Rockstar continues down the path of wanting to make movies, not games, despite people glossing over their massive gameplay blemishes. Valve is having their feet put to the fire after so long, and while a lot of people don't like the tactics of what Epic is doing, it's what must be done in order for Valve to wake up and start fixing things. And then there's Bethesda...their tire fire has finally been exposed for all to revel in it.

Yeah it’s late, admittedly I’m kinda pulling an all nighter getting my apartment cleaned up and preparing for my trip back to my hometown for Christmas including some early shopping, parents are coming to get me so I can catch up on sleep on the way back.

This year sucks as an whole. Many peoples who I looked up to died such as Stan Lee as well as Spongebob's creater. On the video game topic, I still think Nintendo is the best one connecting with their fans for me.

I still don’t think it’s been as bad as 2016, but yeah it’s a shame things haven’t been really good this year like losing quite a few influential people, at least its almost over and hopefully 2019 will look a lot brighter

Yeah, this year hasn't been too good for me, at all...

Though, I did join this website this year, and have made quite a couple friends here since then, so I am really happy about that. :)

Yeah, I'd have gone with Bayonetta on the grounds that both have guns.

On the plus side, I now have a funny image in my head of Shantae!Samus towering over Risky!Daisy

I can get where you are coming from. Villager's specials are more fun to spam and they come with 8 different characters at once. And they're also cute.

Doesn't change that your opinion is wrong /s

How do you unlock Ice Climbers in WOL? I already have them otherwise.

I believe they where somewhere in the Ice Mountain area.

Speaking of which, I was initially a little confused of why Toon Link was on the Rathalos area, until I realized that he was an alternate costume of one of the cats in one of the Monster Hunter games. Plus he's also often referred to as Cat Eyed Link in Japan. Cheeky Sakurai is cheeky.
