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.

Then please elaborate, if you may. I mean, you seem to assume that Sakurai should tell the team "no spirit" for Porky if he's waiting to be revealed as a fighter per Sakurai or whoever's orders.
yeah, assume. there's absolutely no way we can know things for sure, so the best i can do is speculate about why porky isn't there, and the only reasons that add up (besides him being playable) are pretty stupid

i said this in another post but i would accept it if the absolutely safe capsule had a fight that made it clear that it's supposed to represent porky... but it doesn't so its just a weird oddity that could mean any number of things

i just want to know why

My point is it'd leave room for other characters like Lloyd and such. That's all I'm saying especially if said character was already in previous similar game.

I would also add the possibility of using official alternate costumes from Overwatch events in a similar way to Meta Ridley and the Koopalings as a plus.
I can just imagine Blizzard having a heart attack set by the thought of those costumes not being locked behind loot boxes. XD

Resident Evil was slept on because of the gun problem. Every character with a firearm in Smash has some element to them that makes them just able to not be too realistic or has explosives.

With Joker that problem is gone as he uses Pistols and Knives as his primary method of attack when not using a Persona.

Yeah, MVC already got Ryu and Mega Man, they should have put Morrigan in Smash.
MvC already had Morrigan too, Demitri time.
Midnight Bliss Marth is just Lucina

i mean we don't even know if joker will use guns in smash, he could very well not

more appropriate example is bayonetta, but even she has magic guns

Representation of a group of people shouldn't even be a factor for Smash Bros. characters

Seriously, who cares? Characters get in because they are video game icons, not because they fulfill some arbitrary quota.

Because the last thing I'm thinking about while Little Mac is beating the **** out of Pikachu is who he's horny for.

Jesus Christ.
Literally, a total amount of zero people said we need to fill a quota. They said it would be cool. I say it would be cool.

That's exactly what I was complaining about.

Joker not using guns would be a piss poor representation of how he fights in Persona 5.

We haven't seen Joker's gameplay yet. The argument may be correct, but it may not be not. I'd wait and see what he's actually like before assuming he breaks any of the current gameplay rules.

...I'd love Morrigan in Smash, I admit. Demitri would also be neat.

Pardoneme? This whole thing got started because you shot down the idea that Adeleine could get in, based off of some silly assumptions that Sakurai has a bias against the likes of her.

The continuous and repeated requests of the same characters over and over and over really takes the appeal out of them, at least to me.

i actually meant that as a joke, but you replied to it seriously with some like, actually incorrect information, and i corrected you on that while also sharing my thoughts as an angry and disappointed kirby fan on why i don't think we're getting anything anytime soon

And Heihachi is out because he's "boring"?

Here's my theory: I think you're unfamiliar with Tekken in general and use your blindness to say he's unlikely because you know little of him.

Tracer demolishes Scout in both relevancy, popularity, and income for Nintendo.

She's also a lesbian, which is cool for representation. Her charactet is also pretty cool, although fron what I hear about Scout, the personality may be the only thing he beats her in.
I think the fact that she can manipulate time is more relevant for her inclusion than her sexual preference.

I wonder if it'd be tricky for the engine to keep track of where Tracer was 3 seconds ago and her old damage values.

Again though, Joker not using Guns or Knives would represent how he fights in Persona 5 extremely poorly.
It'd be like making Marth a fist fighter.

Regarding Sakurai giving it a good shout out like Persona 5, meeting with the creator in 2016, acknowledging his love for more creative potential with fighting styles, I'm gonna say Phoenix Wright, who has games on the Switch, new and old upcoming.

sword does not equal gun tho. guns have a major reason not to be in kids games because a kid could get their hands on a gun and kill someone. the only people with swords in their houses are either historians, collectors, or nerds

Gonna be straight up honest. I'd actually be down for Phoenix Wright since it'd be interesting how he'd play. :)

In fact I'll even become a supporter of the guy because I like the idea honestly of an attorney in Smash. It'd be something new, different and unique.

We are in a timeline where Pirnha Plant is a playable character in Smash, Joker from Persona 5 is on the way... and the hecking adorable Poochie is the current hot pick for 1st party DLC.

Wow, some time traveller must've stamped on some ants like crazy.

Phoenix Wright is already in MvC games. Why not let someone else shine? :smirk:

That's still an assumption based upon no official gameplay. I won't pretend it's unlikely for him to get that kind of gameplay, but he also has a Persona to work with. We just don't know what'll happen till it does.

We have no actual reason to believe the rule is broken until it happens. We also don't know if the guns will be more realistic. Knives were also not allowed for their realism, so I wouldn't count on them either. It could happen, but I don't see a reason to believe he won't be toned down/changed around. Sakurai has changed things that makes characters not nearly as accurate due to various situations. It can happen.

That's a bit odd, considering how you persisted with the idea that he was biased to the point where you suggested the bits with the spirits only getting in because he wasn't directly involved with the spirits team. It if dedication for "just a joke" and wasn't helped by the fact that others seem to take it seriously.

But if you're just joking then very well.
