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 know what, here's something I never ****ing see. If your most wanted from an unrepresented franchise gets in, what Spirit battles would you expect to see added? My case is Dante so....
Vergil: Blue Dante with a Killing Edge, increased sword strikes
Trish: Bayonetta with a Death Scythe
Lady: Zero Suit with a Super Scope, neutral B gets buffed alongside her Super Scope.
Sparda: Ganondorf, increased physical attack
Okay um...gonna go for...Neku Sakuraba

Shiki - :ultlucina: (red palette) with :ultbowserjr: to represent Mr. Mew. Usually sticks to the ground.
Joshua - :ultshulk:(White palette) tends to jump a lot

Beat - :ultken: (yellow) taunts a lot, uses items like the warp star

Rhyme - :ultinkling: (yellow female) with a Rage Shooter or whatever it's called

Uzuki Yashiro - :ultbayonetta: (blue short hair)

Koki Kariya - :ultcloud: (Advent Children)

Yodai Higashizawa - :ultganondorf: has Killing Edge, occasionally turns large and metal. CPU Ally: :ultlucina: (red) as reference to the last battle of the Shiki chapter

Sho Minamimoto - :ultfalcon:(black outfit) taunts a lot and uses projectiles/shooting items. Don't let him get an Assist Trophy or he will literally DROP THE FREAKIN' MOON! CPU Ally: :ultshulk: (white) reference to last battle of Joshua chapter

Mitsuki Konishi - :ultzss: (black outfit) prefers close range combat. CPU Ally: :ultken: (yellow) as Konishi is the penultimate battle and you have Beat as your partner
Megumi Kitaniji - :ultsimon: (black and purple) has Death Scythe

Mega Emperor: 3 Giant R.O.B.s of which one constantly recharges his Final Smash
Sumilidon: Yellow Wolf with a Franklin Badge and two slow moving Piranha Plants (Rockflower)
Warbandit: Really fast Samus with 2 Rockflowers

Circulis: really fast Sonic while you are really slow

Assuming a BD rep would be a sole representative (let's say Tiz)...
  • Agnes: Black Palutena, favors long-ranged attacks, protected by CPU Tiz
  • Ringabel: Gold (skin) Captain Falcon, Lip's Stick, taunts at every opportunity
  • Edea: Red Daisy with a Killing Edge, Black Knight assist trophy as an ally
  • Airy: Tiny Bayonetta, favors jumping and avoids battle - after 1 minute, turns golden and giant
  • Alternis Dim: Dark Meta Knight, Rage Blaster, all fighters steadily increase %

So... Weird question from me, but what should my smash online name be? Because I've got this long list of options.

Names:
Ultomato (One of 2 names I use on the internet)
SandshrewIsEpic (The other one... Would become Sandshrew I supposes)
Muqaran (My "student family name")
Leaf Blade (I need Grovyle in smash)
Eruption (But Camerupt is best Pokémon)
Chortles (After my favourite video-game character)
Narrator (After my favourite TV character)
Phrygisian (Rundas and also Jazz)
Chemist (I am one. Any chemistry puns are very welcome)

So what sounds best?

Why does every Doctor Mario player I fight have godlike timing and spacing?

Like seriously, only good players pick Doc from my experience. You've got a lot of scrubs who pick other slow heavy hitters like Ganondorf and Incineroar but never Doc for some reason.

If a niche audience has gotten to the higher GSP levels, it's pretty likely that their fundamentals and tricks they've learned have carried their way there.

This just made me think. Waluigi has 3 differing spirits. You could have an all Waluigi team. Why would anyone pick anything else?
Because Daisy's ****ing better.



EDIT: Glad to see images still aren't working today. It'll be funny in like 24hrs.

Tbh, I still believe. The Steve-Ryu-Doomslayer leak was proven fake recently
Really?
I didn’t hear that this got proven fake. Though selfishly I’m kind of happy...none of the remaining characters were personal interests. I think it’s kind of fun not knowing who we will get:p I also don’t think the DLC will ever fully leak

I know I'm being that guy right now, but it was pretty obviously fake.

I have no idea why people, let alone major publications, took it so seriously.

I never really believed it, but it was just nice that it got 100% debunked...gives me more peace of mind now

IGN gave it a headline article.

I mean, it's IGN, but still.

Did they claim it was real or was it filler?
I didn't click on it. I just remember the headline, "Smash Ultimate's DLC Roster May Have Just Been Leaked!"

Then I remembered you can't spell ignorance without IGN and went somewhere else.

Boi you haven't seen anything. Only Porky a kid of all beings is more evil than an genocidal sadistic space pirate leader.
Porky at least has the excuse of a childhood that molded him that way.

Ridley is just kinda... a wrong entity. His Other M appearance is a pretty good indication of that.

Tbh, I'd love a Metroid game that shows Ridley's past before and how he became part of the Space Pirates.

I wouldn't get too excited.

Last three events like these were for games like Style Savvy, a teddy bear 3DS game, and a Disney 3DS game.

Gotta love Quickplay Clouds who's idea of playing neutral is throwing out random F-smashes the entire match and never learning no matter how many times they get punished for it. Oh, and not to mention Samus mains who ares still stuck in Smash 4 and never use anything aside from roll/missile/charged shot.

Both those players I just fought were just barely below Elite Smash in ranking. How do people let them get away with that nonsense?

Because Ultimate's GSP system and online mode as a whole besides Arena is a joke.

Scrubby players like me let them win.

There was a Dedede that spammed Gordos and while I was learning how to deal with it, they still beat me in the end, and their GSP was at like 2.8 or something along those lines. Was incredibly frustrating, but at least I learned something from it, ha ha.

literally my samus has the most gsp out of all my characters despite her just being my go-to ffa character (that i barely use bc i don't play ffa's often)

gsp is kinda a joke

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)
I'm biased but tbh a full-on boss version of Metal Face would've been bombass

And honestly I would've taken ANY Brawl boss being brought back besides Galleom (and Duon I guess), like out of Rayquaza, Porky, or Petey, you choose the generic OC robot? I don't understand

That's generally how online is going to be for the most part for any game. Most ranks are just going to be people spamming what they think is their most powerful move.
