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.

ok but why the grass starter
Not the person you were replying to, but I just like grass types. Aside from Gens 1 and 2, every one of my favorite fully evolved starters has been the grass type one. It's a consistent pattern, so I'm planning on supporting the Gen 8 one.

I wasn’t saying anything bad about Ivysaur, I’m referring to standalone fully evolved staters like :ultgreninja::ultincineroar:
But do we need one like how we supposedly need to complete the weapon triangle of Fire Emblem, or the last Bros. of Super Mario Bros.?

We have the fire/water/grass starters as a literal gimmick for a character already in the game. :073:

I mean I’m personally inclined to agree with you considering I’d like Cynthia to be a future Pokémon rep with 3 of her Pokémon, but I’d understand if they decided on the other route.

Pfft, we've already got :ultpiranha: as our second grass-type. What more do you guys want?

Well what a night. So many challenges in World of Light and this was just the beginning. I can only imagine what lays ahead.

On the other hand I've saved :ultdk::ultdoc::ultduckhunt::ultfalco::ulticeclimbers::ultinkling::ultjigglypuff::ultlucario::ultlucas::ultmario::ultmarth::ultmegaman::ultolimar::ultpacman::ultsheik::ultwiifittrainer::ultyoshi:so the party is definitely growing.

Did :ultmario: and :ultdoc: started to fight for dominance after you rescued both? That's what happened in my first playthrough.

Boy it's been a while since I've posted on this thread, I seen that the poll options has changed. My answer is definitely the first one, Ultimate has been a wonderful experience for me and I think it will keep entertained forever.

I even found World of Light fun as well though I do wish there were some platform sections.

The obvious answer is that Shiftry is DLC.

:ultgreninja: Water/Dark
:ultincineroar: Fire/Dark
:ultshiftry: Grass/Dark

Plus we'd finally get a Hoenn Pokémon that isn't Pikachu Libre. It's just logical, really.
I'd unironically be hyped; I love Shiftry. Give me a Fortree City stage.

Considering we got :ultinkling::ultincineroar::ultisabelle::ultkrool::ultridley: in the base roster, I heavily doubt we'll get any "more obscure" characters regardless of how many third parties we get.
In my opinion, the fact we had such a recognizable set of newcomers for the base roster shows the need for more obscure fighters. Seeing big names join the battle is cool, but so is seeing the Mr. Game and Watches and R.O.Bs of the world. It can be exciting to have a long forgotten faces like Ayumi Tachibana or Ricky Winterborn be brought out to shine once again.

I agree but there's also no way for these type of characters to make sensible DLC choices.

It's one in the morning for me, I just got back from reading fanfics for hours.

Grass-Form Silvally for Smash.
We haven't finished getting every single Fire Emblem Protagonist. We can not move on.
FE Jonny Test Rowan for Smash!

Pfft obviously it's going to be Cacturne. Maybe Shiftry will get to be an echo fighter if its lucky.
Fortree City is a brilliant stage choice, I approve.

Torterra would actually be neat as a fighter. But Serperior also exists to make me wish it was a Gen V rep.

To complete that whole Grass/Fire/Water dichotomy with :ultgreninja: & :ultincineroar: if Grovyle/Sceptile can’t
-PTSD-

After being around for both the Sceptile days and the Decidueye days, I never want to see this train of thought ever again.

Especially with Incineroar being used in FAVOR of it after being initially dismissed for being AGAINST it (With Charizard taking the role instead).

Just had someone refer to Young Ike as "yike" and I honestly have never wanted to smack someone more.

I hope ICs players are just practicing desyncs and such for big events or something, because they've been virtually nowhere at nationals.

It will only be a month since Ultimate has released tomorrow, but they happen to be the only characters without any notable results, somehow.

Give people some time to find a way to break the game with them a third time.

I mean, playing anything that isn't the Guts skin is a yikes in itself.

I get that this thread is centered around SSBU DLC speculation, but man the Smash community is weird
I guess I need to do more RESEARCH, maybe even years worth
