Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Ramen Tengoku]

I still dunno why Sakurai didn’t atleast go with Shy Guy if he wanted a basic Mario enemy playable.

He probably wanted a character that could take us by surprise, and Piranha Plant was probably the best candidate for that.
Unlike most of the other Mario enemies, Piranha Plant has never even been playable in the spin-off games, usually being regulated to an obstacle or item...
Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, and Lakitu became Mario Kart staples (and Wiggler was a thing in Mario Kart 7), and Goomba, Boo, Hammer Bro, Blooper, and Spike joined in on some of the Mario Party games. But not Piranha Plant. If you ask me, him being the generic Mario enemy getting in makes a lot of sense in terms of surprise factor.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This is not a drill
Appareny Sakurai fav persona character is Yusuke

Good taste Sakurai, good taste

 

[Pyra]

I was and am still really excited for Piranha Plant

This is not a drill
Appareny Sakurai fav persona character is Yusuke

Good taste Sakurai, good taste

I feel like, for some reason, Sakurai would probably resonate with Yusuke the most anyway haha.

Hm... I wonder who my favorites are... haven't really thought of it before...
And Yusuke is definitely up there on my list, even if only because of his persona...


EDIT: im glad i watched Joker's trailer in Japanese cause that's how I recognize everyone's voices hahaha
sakurai making me cry all over again


also

Only because I finally found some footage for All-Star Mode a while ago: why is it just Multi-Man Smash all over again? Something feels very wrong having the battle just loop on end like that. I guess with a better Classic Mode came with sacrifices...

Makes sense, it’s definitely pretty surprising and creative that he found moveset potential in to say the least.

Speaking of Lakitu anyone else think he would’ve made an interesting echo?

Do you really want to fight against 74 characters back to back?

 

[Iridium]

Yes. Yes I do.

I'm just too used to the old format, pretty much.

I'm not familiar enough with the character. Can his cloud do all the stuff Clown Cart does?

Honestly, Lakitu coulda made an interesting unique fighter. Similar playstyle to The Boy but not the same.
Like, throwing a spiny instead of a mechakoopa would be cool, but he could also probably do other things like have a fishing rod

I'm not familiar enough with the character. Can his cloud do all the stuff Clown Cart does?

Not particularly.

All-Star Mode didn't really do it all in one go though. It was more like a chunk of fighters and then an intermission that had healing items.

I know, but you still had to beat all of them to complete one run. I guess I can understand why people misses the old one, but it feels kinda exhausting for me now.

 

[KingBroly]

Nah those are totally cartoon roots.

Roots at they may be, PP needs some sneakers

EDIT: I don't like All-Star Smash at all. I'm not a fan of Century Smash, either. All-Star, even though it was a grind (especially with Classic), would've been preferable to what we got.

I also wanted to see how out of place Joker would look with everyone else.

Characters stopped looking out of place to me after we got combo, personally.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Now Ridley actually deletes characters. Sounds about right.

This game is a glorious mess.

AndreaAC ?

Now if only my boi's Neutral B could do that. It'd make more sense

"Too big" was just a cover up.

I'd say the most out of place looking character on the roster is

"They told me to knock them off the stage but why would I do all that work when I can just... kill them"

 

[osby]

Actually I can agree with that.

"They told me to knock them off the stage but why would I do all that work when I can just... kill them"

Is it just me or Ridley has an affinity with killing people?

 

[Zinith]

I know why you thought that, don't worry hehehe...

Because it's common sense!!!

 

[BluePikmin11]

You guys seen that interview that came up on Atlus JP's Twitter, I would love to have a translation of that video soon.

But, SG's currently away and knowing NE and their recent Sakurai interview translations, I probably have to rely on poor quality stuff to speculate.

It feels rough as a speculator dying to know the context behind Joker's inclusion and wanting to know the basic template of how DLC newcomers will be handled. ;_;

 

[Gentlepanda]

im glad i watched Joker's trailer in Japanese cause that's how I recognize everyone's voices hahaha
sakurai making me cry all over again

imagine playing through P5 in japanese and missing out on matt mercer's beautiful yusuke portrayal

 

[Pyra]

imagine playing through P5 in japanese and missing out on matt mercer's beautiful yusuke portrayal

i did that for listening practice and still had an incredibly enjoyable time, but you right, matt mercer's voice that i hear everywhere else, including P5 when I was on campus and people were playing it, is more important

it's hiiiiigh nyusuke.

I've seen a few rough translation bits. I think there isn't anything about how Joker was selected aside from Sakurai saying he loves Persona 5.

I think voice acting in English dub was pretty high quality compared to the original, which says something, considering Japanese dub had an all-star cast.

I'm convinced Ridley hates Sonic now.

If only this became more of a meme...

 

[Pyra]

I kinda like everyone (in the main party) in P5 for one reason or another. I named Joker "Ash Ketchum" as a joke and I got way too attached to the character haha. I like Futaba, but not in the same way everyone's seemed to have waifu'd her >_>. She's like a little sister of the party.
Yusuke's pretty cool, and he's got one of my favorite personas (...Goemon.)...

I think Ann was the first person I paired Joker with (People can **** on her all they want, I feel for her haha), and I think I was going for Makoto in the second playthough before I dropped it for a bit.

Ryuji is Ash Ketchum's best friend.

 

[osby]

Only right answer, tbh.

I'm convinced Ridley hates Sonic now.

He's just jealous because Sonic is friends with Pikachu and by relation, Samus.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I mean, Metroid is an it, and it takes the Phazon Suit to mimic Samus. So I'd refer to Dark Samus as an "it..."

unless, of course, you wanted to say Dark Samus in Smash Bros. Ultimate is Metroid Prime 3 Samus having been corrupted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBpVsFEVGYw

Well, she is an exact physical copy of Samus. Down to the veins, arteries, and heart. The only difference is her "skin" is what would be considered a power suit because thats what Metroid Prime snatched from her. Her DNA was in the suit so it crafted its internal makeup from the DNA and the suit. So it used what was necessary to "live" and became a being instead of a substance.

In other words. Dark Samus is as female as a constructed being of pure energy can possibly be.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

So.... what leaks are we still trusting? (I know that there are some people who will say “none” but that’s not really the point)

I’ve seen the Square 7 brought up recently so that’s clearly still a thing.

Is that Lloyd and Yuri thing that was shared here a few weeks ago still a thing? I don’t think I’ve heard that shared anywhere else.

Has Vergeben said anything new?

 

[GoeGoe]

Appareny Sakurai fav persona character is Yusuke

About favoring. Didn't he say the same about Fire Emblem?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yusuke's pretty cool, and he's got one of my favorite personas (...Goemon.)...

Yusuke has the best awakening as well

 

[GoeGoe]

Yusuke's pretty cool, and he's got one of my favorite personas (...Goemon.)....

I really hope that's not his answer to Goemon T^T
Edit: I mean in a Persona perspective. If it means my Goemon then that's sooo welcome

 

[osby]

About which character?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

so apprently Sakurai didnt max out Yusukes Social link because he didnt expect tge gane to end in Dec. He tried to reload to see if he could max it out but womp womp

 

[GoeGoe]

About which character?

Generally.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So I made this masterpiece

 

[Deleted member]

Do y'all think they're ever gonna release new amiibo with the new Ultimate poses anytime soon?
