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.

So, let's keep things simple.

4 Most Wanted DLC Characters anyone?

1. Doom Slayer
2. Crash Bandicoot
3. Lloyd
4. Ryu Hayabusa

WHOOPS I'VE ADDED 5! MY BAD! SORRY Fulgore, BUT I'M CROSSING YOU OFF MY LIST!
I'll do something a little different and have a 1st and 3rd party list.

Third Party
1. Mega Man X/A 2nd Mega Man
2. Ryu Hayabusa (an actually realistic choice this game)
3. Jin Kazama
4. Sub-Zero or Terry Bogard, both are equal wants from me.

First Party
1. Sylux
2. Dixie
3. Elma
4. Chibi-Robo

So I was bored (waiting in the lab for my measurements to finish) so I decided to start a little thing.

You see, everyone keeps asking for peoples top-5 characters for smash, but there is a much more important question:
The top-5 SONGS that should be in smash.

For me, it goes a bit like this:

1. Dialga's Fight to the Finish (PMD2) https://youtu.be/wy9VvdaLuSs

2. Battle!! (Torna: the Golden Country) https://youtu.be/uRtAbX2-f3A

3. Rundas Battle (Metroid Prime 3) https://youtu.be/6nMFLquJeCc

4. Ghost Fight (Undertale) https://youtu.be/Zz1bfhtKsHM

5. VS Joe (Pokémon Battle Revolution) https://youtu.be/yp5XpFJHqzU

(6. Mt. Pyre peak, Pokémon Emerald, https://youtu.be/TEtlhq1PxI4)
1. Hissocrat ~ Super Mario 3D World
This would be perfect on either 3D Land (3DS) or New Donk City Hall (Ultimate)

2. Special Stage ~ Yoshi’s Woolly World
I think this would fit Yoshi’s Story (Melee)

3. Lorule Castle ~ The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds
I would love to hear this on Temple (Melee)

4. Twilight of the Gods ~ Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Imagine fighting to this on Arena Ferox (3DS)

5. Boss Fight 2 ~ Kid Icarus Uprising
It would sound amazing on Reset Bomb Forest (3DS)

Bonus: Main Theme ~ Sushi Strikers: The Way of Sushido
Don’t lie this would be perfect on Moray Towers (Ultimate)

I really haven’t played this enough to even have a top 5...
I’ve practiced mostly with Mii Swordfighter and R.O.B. but even then I haven’t practiced much.

Not related to Smash but, what do you guys like in a character? I'm a game design student and I'm currently studying on character design. If possible, can you guys give me some examples too? Thanks in advance.
That's an insanely difficult question to answer. Any answers we give you would only be a portion of the gaming community at large, so while it would appeal to some of us, it wouldn't to others and may not be the route you want to take.

Still, if you want that input...
I like someone who can be a bit of a smart-***, but completely aware of reality and what needs to be done; willing to do what others wont or delve into a more morally grey area because life isn't just black and white when it comes to rules. One of may favorite characters in an RPG that I've played was Yuri from Tales of Vesperia for example.

At the same time, the smart-butt jokester is starting to become more and more common, making it less appealing since its not as novel anymore, so...it's a delicate balance.

EDIT: I was thinking more personality wise for your question; after reading a few other posts, it seems you were looking for 'overall'; my bad.

Starting to get a feel of: :ultfox::ultpokemontrainer::ultpalutena::ultzss::ultlucas::ultluigi::ultjigglypuff::ultryu:
Don't like compared to previous games: :ultfalcon::ultmarth:
Neutral: The rest

Somebody likes villains/antiheros
Just because you reminded me: How many characters in Smash are both anti-heros/villains and also protagonists of their game/series? I can only think up Bayo and Wario.

Wolf plays an anti-hero role in Assault if that counts? He helps Fox more than fights him.

ESPECIALLY LIGHTNING CHARIOT BASE WHAT DID THEY DO TO THAT SONG

Edit: It sounds like DS midi
Maybe the remixes are why there’s no new KI songs in Smash...Sakurai had to protect his new children

Literally everything about Pit is perfection. From his noble heroism and warrior pride to his charismatic and energetic like personality to match up with his young macho anime male body and illiteracy...w

I'd argue Joker and Snake count as well

Thanks for the inputs. (Also I guess Dark Pit should also count)

I never gave them much thought, but for some reason Ultimate made me appreciate the not-morally-upright characters in the roster more; so it was on mind for a while.

>Joker
>Anti-Hero/Antagonist

That'd fit
Akechi
more than anything else.
Protagonist, not antagonist
Akechi will probably fit that role once canonical spinoffs start dropping tho

Joker isn't technically a criminal but he uses morally questionable methods to dodge the law and punish the people who are worse than him. I think he was at least designed to be something close to a gentleman thief like Arsène Lupin, a kind of anti-hero.

@Blackmage Kuja Thank you! I understand that its impossible to create a character that appeals to everyone, there will always be people that dislike something others like and vice versa. A character that strives away from the usual "Good guy and Bad guy" territory is always interesting to see, mostly because they tend to think more like an actual human. We always try to go against the system in games. These characters have so much freedom to do as they want that they can sort of make us envy them. While we are stuck trying to save the world as the hero, they are doing what is better for them, without having to follow a set of rules.
