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.

Awakening and Fates would probably have been better off with the GBA Fire Emblem system of having a limited selection of supports for each character.

Robin and Corrin make sense, because they're the avatar and it wouldn't be fair to arbitrarily limit your options.

The weirdest part is that some Awakening characters do have limited Support pools (e.g. Chrom x Cordelia not being possible).

There's some really great stuff in the Fates supports; such as, for example, Camilla teaching Hinoka how to sew, Camilla and Jakob getting into fights about who loves Corrin more, and Beruka and Saizo having a heart-to-heart about their careers as Assassins (sadly censored in the localisation); but finding these great support chains can be muddied by having tons of fluff surrounding them.
I had Beruka and Saizo pair up solely because their C-support made me legitimately laugh out loud.


But at the risk of going way off topic, I think the avatar likewise needs limitations, even if it's less limitations than the rest of the cast. Making all eight siblings not actually siblings for the sake of being allowed to romance kind of undermines the plot's entire central conflict.

Likewise, Robin romancing a kid from the future who isn't even born in his own timeline yet is weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.

Saw that another fake Direct list was talked about earlier.

Why does everyone keep tossing in F-Zero and Mother 3 in there? Like, that's just not even trying to hide that this is nothing but your wishlist, lol.

It's tough, because the localised support is really funny, but the original is really heartfelt and deep (look it up if you haven't seen it).

You're right, obviously. I was thinking moreso of Robin when I said that (I'm tired, I'm actually about to head off to bed, I briefly forgot Corrin had... too much freedom regarding his S ranks).

Legitimate question because I don't feel like looking it up and I've never tried.

If Robin romances a kid from the future, do Robin and that kid then spawn Morgan also from the future? Because that would be a mind****.

I'm excited to see what mods people make with this game.

All of the ATs have really cool, highly detailed models. I'm kind of excited to see what model swaps people do with them. Callie and Marie over Inkling, obligatory Shadow over Sonic, Waluigi over everyone possible...

It's gonna be a good time.

Questions that the nintendo universe will never explain.

Also :ultkrool: thinks :ultbowser: is a fat and terrible king because he wears no crown.

:ultkrool::King Koopa huh? 'Crosses arms'

:ultbowser:: Yeah, what about it?

:ultkrool::You dumb fatso, how are you a king with no crown? "points to crown"

:ultbowser:: Trinkets and bobs are for tasteless simpletons.

:ultkrool::That's what the crownless say.

:ultpeach::ultdaisy::ultpalutena::ultzelda::ultrosalina::ultmarth::ultlucina::He does make a good point :ultbowser:

I assume Morgan would just be from even further in the future, right? Or maybe he’d be from equally in the future if the future kid decides to stick around in this time period (so that they also later get to witness their own childhood, nothing like being buddies with your younger self, right?)

You still get Morgan from the future.

No, I don't know why or how, but it works. Nothing stops the Way of the Waifu, not even the laws of space and time!

:ultkrool: Is the easiest character to play as. Literally has the best recovery for a heavy and does a ton of damage. He is fun to play, and bowser does take some skill but I feel like with King you can learn all of his moves in a hurry.

The bosses in Smash Ultimate were great, the best one in my opinion being Marx. But damn if I wish there were more original ones like him thrown in there as well. Who would be your picks for bosses if you were in charge? Some that come to my mind are Eggman or even Chaos, Black Knight, or even bringing back Porky or another brawl boss. (My images keep breaking it's one of Eggman)
If Is chose the Bosses, we'd have;

Master Hand
Master Core
Shadow Clones


Yellow Devil


Porky


Mugly


Leona Telethia
Metal Face
Yaldabaoth


Dyna Blade
Heavy Lobster


Omega Pirate
Thardus
Mogenar
Omega Metroid
Quadraxis


Biolizard
Time Eater


Regigigas
Omega Rayquaza
Primal Groudon


Mega Robosa
Frostwind


Ro-Shi


Hewdra
Hades
Pandora

Yes. You still get Morgan if you romance a second gen character.

Because shipping.

How would bosses like the Biolizard or Time Eater work with Smash’s gameplay?

Then you realize your butt is huge, tender, and everyone likes to poke it.

Easy to learn hard to master.

Yeah, They're Just in there because they're cool. Although you could Just five Them a health bar and throw them into the arena. Maybe with some specific spots you need to hit (like with Dracula's head)
