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.

you can know what a game is and not know diddly **** about the characters
But, again, I feel like I'm not understanding your point. What else could this guy possibly be from? How would someone see an image of Steve and not immediately think "Minecraft guy"? He's basically in the same class as Villager, only significantly more people in the world know the Minecraft aesthetic than the Animal Crossing aesthetic.

Saying that they might not know his name is Steve is reaching.

hey, headsup!! (this might be US only not sure still worth checking imo)

Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2, Octopath Traveler, ARMS and Hyrule Warriors are all $42 at Target and GameStop

Target has physical copies while GameStop has digital

Thought this might help anyone interested in these games
If only I didn't already buy all of those...

...

...wait, ****. I still haven't played Octopath Traveler. Why do I buy things?

So? Most people know about The Legend of Zelda...

Yet, they mistakenly call Link, Zelda

Not knowing a character's name doesn't really matter, if you ask me...

Okay then. Uh. You're right. I concede your point.

It's just not a very good point? Not everyone knows the Tomb Raider's name is Lara Croft, but they know Tomb Raider.

not even notch knew his name was steve until he was asked for the first time :wario::wario::wario:
Villager didn't have a set name until Smash, and characters like Link, Robin, and Corrin can be renamed in their games (only BotW Link broke this trend).

Steve being an avatar isn't a negative when we have :ultvillager: , :ultmiifighters:, :ultrobin:, and :ultcorrin:, and I honestly get confused why people seem to think it's a negative.

tomb raider wouldn't be seen as a classic if the main protag was a male with no huge triangle boobs

change my mind

i agree with you and am confused as to what my sarcasm has to do with this

I can say from experience that it's definitely a thing that still happens.

Like, exceedingly often.
doesn't count if you don't exist opossum

I see people call Link Zelda more often than I see people call Samus Metroid.

So there's that, I guess.

I thought the Warios meant sarcasm, but TBH I wasn't 100% sure so that's my bad. :nervous:

There are some who honestly use that against Steve, so my point was more made for those who use what you said unironically.

Is that sarcasm? I can't tell if it's sarcasm.

he made the name up on the spot when he was asked for the first time and i was bringing that up to be a smartass
i think it's cool that it blew up so much

i don't care about the argument in particular haha i'm not against Steve being in, cause I used to love playing Minecraft.


When in doubt, just remember,

Nah it's all good lol. I was in "debate Steve" mode and maybe got carried away a little bit, ha ha.

I forgot that he came up with Steve's name on the spot, though. That's a neat piece of trivia!

i said this before but i really doubt we're getting multiple western made characters, i'm guessing we're only getting one at most, and even that i'd say would be a stretch

even my 70 y/o dad knows who link is

but thats probably because he watched me play the games as a kid, thats the only reason why he knows who Pikachu is.
I remember asking my father about the last video game he played and getting "Galaga" as an answer. Made me feel like a baby.
