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.

Pyra Pyra Will Will I sent you friend requests if you wanna kick my *** I suggest you accept them
i was busy binging stuff but ok

See, I'm not sure it's that easy to land. I feel Roller can be really easy to read based on the fact most Inklings are probably gonna wait until they're right next to you to start it up, so if anything it just feels like a good punish move. Plus, it can be jumped over, shielded, and can be interrupted with projectiles and certain command grabs (Isabelle's works, and I think Wario's does too?).
Neither should :ultlink::ulttoonlink::ultyounglink: any of these projectiles :ultsimon::ultrichter::ultkingdedede: but look how it still works. When you're hit by them though, it's not the end of the world. The philosophy of getting gud is implying that the tool in question is fair and balanced rather opposed than the player getting his or her way. If you get hit by the Roller, it is your fault, but what isn't your fault is the absurd length of time you're buried. Being hit with an F-Smash is normal if you're not a mash god, but a charged F-Smash?

While i don't care about Daisy, i don't really hate the character.

However, both her haters and fanboys annoy me in a similar way that the Raimi fanboys and haters did with Spider-Man PS4.

What should have been a neat celebration of a newcomer became a hate-fest towards Waluigi fans and a war between both sides that wasn't needed. Without mentioning people like Memoryman3 (in the case of the Raimi suit in Spider-Man PS4 was The Amazing Lucas, a twitter user that harassed and spammed many Insomniac devs and at the moment he doesn't want to apologize from the crap he did to them).

My stance? I don't care about the character, but i am happy and suppportive towards the Daisy fans that act and behave like peaceful and respectful people (i see you as one of these, btw). Besides, i was angry about another thing when she was revealed, so i didn't get any effect from her.
I agree..though I don't really see why you replied to my post like that..I never said anything about that feud (which I agree was dumb..especially since Waluigi and Daisy aren't equal in this since Daisy is an easy Echo while Waluigi couldn't be a fitting Echo of anyone due to such a size difference between him and the two that would fit him best, Luigi and Wario)

TBH I wouldn't mind a nerf on Roller if there really is a need for it, but I hear and see conflicting things about it. Makes it hard to tell if something legit needs to be done or if people are knee-jerking like with K. Rool.

Time will tell, I guess. It's not like nerfing Roller would even hurt Inkling that much, though; Nair, Fair, and D-Throw into Up-Air are all still great, and they would still have a great projectile and movement game.

It's just like when people begged (and still beg) for King K. Rool nerfs, and I don't get it.

He's still big and very heavy, not far off from Bowser, in addition to being rather slow. His recovery can still be intercepted from the side somewhat easily, but is harder from the top, of course. His crown can even be stolen to prevent camping from him. It's almost as if his strengths and flaws come close to balancing out...

Whenever I see people complain about characters in that manner, they generally focus on the strengths only, instead of the strengths and weakness. Not to say there isn't anything very crazy about certain characters, but still, it seems as if players take qualities of a character as better as they may seem.

Not only that but his projectiles are pretty slow so they could be avoided rather easily.

TBH Blunderbuss is only good when you have the set-ups for it, it's not something you just throw out randomly.

For me, Roller is extremely predictable unless you catch someone as a punish or you're right next them and get an opening.

I don't believe we were asking for any damage nerfs or the ink that you'd expect people to be upset about, only the amount of time you're buried under one specific move. You already have enough time for a quick Smash, what more do you want? :drshrug:

I'm not asking for more, I'm just not 100% convinced Roller is a problem as it is right now.

Honestly, no one should be nerfed right now. The game's not even a month old yet, let's let the meta grow a little before throwing nerfs at things.

More Sakurai interviewing.

Just for anybody who wants to read something worthwhile at the moment.
"Her reveal was received really well the world over!"

The interviewer said this, regarding Isabelle...

I know I, and a lot of other people were very happy for her, but I'd argue her reveal was one that garnered the most mixed reactions across the fan base

I'm still standing by on team "yeah that's way too long", whether one month or one year. Getting hit by the roller has nothing to do with how long you're stuck.

In the fan base.
Most everyone I've talked to that don't argue with other people online about trivial smash matters were ecstatic tbh

There are ways to counter it, though. It's not like a zero-to-death from Bayo.

This is a little off topic, but a whole buncha people here have asked me about this so I thought i'd tell you guys. I'll probably have to say this again though, cuz a lot of people are gone for the holidays.

I'm gonna do commissions now! So if for whatever reason you want to spend your hard earned money on a silly doodle from a silly goober, now's your chance.

was i saying getting hit by the roller the problem
or
did i say that the length of time that you're buried is too long
TBH I think we've reached an impasse. You think it needs a nerf, I'm unsure if I think I do, and we're not convincing one another. Probably just best to watch and see what happens.

you're not convincing me because you're not talking about the bury effect, you're talking about avoiding it to get buried when i'm just talking about the effect and not whether or not it's easy to get hit by it or not

Does the bury length matter if it doesn't hit you, though?

I knew I shouldn't have missed some of the tourney, but enjoy this.

The best part is that before this year's E3 we never would've guessed that was possible

I think Roller's risk vs. reward ratio is just a bit skewed. It's not the fastest move in the world and it does have counterplays but it can be difficult to react to sometimes. It's not as hard to land as, say, Charizard's Flare Blitz from my experience.

Are you dense? Yes.
Gee, that's a great sign that you can hold a conversation and have a reasonable debate.

All I did was ask a question. If all I'm gonna get in return is immature sass, then I honestly have better things to do.

Thank you. Your kind words move me.

Immature sass is my little spice. A little flavor to the punch. Perhaps your hostility is worse if you refuse to stay over it when I've responded to your question combined with it, rather than just only one. I fail to see the problem.

Perhaps you added a bit too much spice there.
