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.

Girl I called you straighty didn't I? Also yes it was absolutely sarcasm as I too like men somehow. Tbh I completely forgot I liked men for a while and then Richter showed up and mmmmm
Alright, my bad. I thought you were implying I was a guy there. I’m just a bit hangry atm.

The Mother content was treated as tongue-in-cheek, just like it's source material. Your dad is a phone. (and one of the best support spirits in the game)
yeah but porky should have been priority...

priority 16, after all the main party members

I'm personally not buying that the Absolute Safe Capsule was meant to represent Porky, lots of objects are represented through Spirits, like the different Mario Kart vehicles, and the Absolute Safe Capsule is just another case of that imo. Like, if Porky himself had a Spirit, nobody would say he's represented twice, it's just something people cling to to try and explain something that likely doesn't have much of an explanation beyond a slip up or whatever. We're not always going to have an explanation for small things like these.

I definitely don't think it indicates that he'll be DLC though, I might have been able to entertain the thought had it been Sakurai who chose the DLC as he obviously has a soft spot for Mother (still wouldn't be likely at all, but at least not impossible), but as surprising as Nintendo may aim to be, I can't imagine why they would choose another Mother rep. At the very least with surprising 3rd party picks like Joker they get a ton of exposure, as much as I'd love it I really don't see where Nintendo's desire to include Porky would come from.

I think it's already too much to assume that a spirit absolutely deconfirms a character, but to assume the lack of a spirit somehow confirms them is two steps too far. It's an assumption based on an assumption, and so it's a very shaky argument to base a character prediction off of.

Besides, even with the absurd amount of spirits in the game they're still going to miss a few, and not always because they were "forgotten". Perhaps they really did think the Absolute Safe Capsule and Yarn Poochy were adequate - I don't think they even made a huge deal out of Poochy's importance until Wooly World came along anyway. Maybe they didn't think Sylux was a big enough character to get in yet.
Doubt it. There's two, lesser known Hunters from Metroid Prime: Hunters as spirits as well as an unimportant one from Prime 3 in there. Sylux is the only one teased to return in a big way.

Look.
It was never my intention to be "mean". I'm just blunt.
Very blunt.

If someone's coming at me saying something is nonsense, I'm going to call them out on it if there is a simple concept that isn't being grasped and instead being labeled as nonsense.

I apologize if you took it as a direct assault, but please understand my harshness was towards the argument being made. I didn't want to continue the debate if that argument wasn't corrected.
With all due respect (and sorry to trudge this topic even further), while I do believe the cynical posts were pointless, I do think that you were rude in the way you delivered your argument. There's a difference between being blunt and just a poop.

Comments like these
I'm just one of the few that seems to actually THINK LOGICALLY instead of use my bias to guide my judgment.
Funny, because nothing you're saying isn't nonsense.
If you can't bother to grasp this basic concept, don't even respond to this.
are really hostile and antagonistic to not only the argument being presented to you but other people in the thread as well because you're implying the majority of us cannot think logically. Instead of being so combative with the snide and the "if you can't grasp this basic concept don't respond" (I felt Luigi's pain there LOL), you could explain/defend/whatever LOL your side in other ways.

You're a rad guy, swell overall, just wanted to point this out since I know I kind of took offense. but once again no one asked for my opinion so I'll just zip zip ziiiiip :laugh:

Poochy is one of those characters who people might suggest, but I personally don’t see having a good shot at all.

The speculation community honestly in my humble opinion, looks far too much into “representing” or “repping” things, whether through characters or movesets. When I hear the idea of Poochy in Smash, I can’t even come up with a moveset because well...what does he even do? He shows up for a bit and well...from my memory, not much else.

Once again, in my humble opinion, there are characters with more recognition, popularity, and gameplay potential than Poochy. You’d have to make up too much for him to make sense, again in my humble opinion.

I know Sakurai can be creative and think of a moveset for unorthodox characters, but what would Poochy be able to do? What archetype? Any particular skills he has? All I know him from is Yoshi's Story.

He's literally a dog with nothing special to him.

Absolutely Safe Capsule is 100% a joke about it actually being Porky. Sakurao is a fan of Earthbound and the ASC is literally indestructible and can never be opened again as seen it surviving the end of the world in Mother 3.
Galleem couldn't turn Porky into a Spirit because it could never reach inside the capsule.
"Oh but lore shouldn't be a reason to exclude a character" it should when it's funny.

To be fair, so is Duck Hunt. They had to take very creative liberties to make something work with him. Rather than just being "the dog" he is the entire game personified.

Can Poochy pull out the same thing and be Yarn Yoshi/Crafted World in a moveset?

Would Kamek be able to pass as a Yoshi rep?
Don’t see why not. Pretty sure his spirit is listed under the yoshi series too, but that might be wrong.
Edit yeah he’s a mario spirit

When I hear about the idea of Poochy in Smash I'm wondering if someone actually would want to play as him, or if the only reason they want him it's to have a second character with the Egg Icon.

But we need Sylux to represent the worst Metroid has to offer.

I genuinely want him.
I don't care much for Yoshi as a series.
But I've always had a soft spot for the dog.

Would you want Micaiah for the FE icon, or genuine enjoyment for her character?
Works for just about every pick you can think of.

If they wanted to do that they'd add Adam Malkovich
So happy his spirit is utterly worthless. One of the weakest shield ones with no quirks.

That's how I felt when he took away all my joy in Other M.

Oh hey; that was a legit question; I wasn't intented to hurt any of the Poochy fans.

But I don't think talking about Micaiah is a fair comparison because well... wanting a Fire Emblem Character at this point is mostly because of their personal appeal, because the Series already has 7 Characters counting the Echoes (so, technically the FE Icon was already used several times).

Micaiah4Smash BTW!
