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 I've been playing Online for like 2 hours today and found no FFA's, no items and only one Guy with hazards.
I did fond a bunch of people with camping characters on 3 minute 2 stock Battles, which sucks

So, I just dealt with a Roller Inkling for the first time.

Yeah, that can go straight into brainless tier right next to PK Freeze.

Tbh, I'd love a Metroid game that shows Ridley's past before and how he became part of the Space Pirates.
That would sound really fun! :D ...Though I feel it is better to leave Ridley's past for individual interpretation...I mean, I feel that if they showed it, things wouldn't be as fun when it comes to imagining it. Just like how I imagine Ridley as a cute little dragon that grew to become the big baddie while others go with the Other M evolution line.

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.
His Other M version was a mindless clone of the original tho

The fact that in Other M Baby Ridley is a Furby will never not be funny.

Stock should be tied to time. 5 minutes for two stocks and 7 minutes for three stocks. 1 stock shouldn't even be an option because that's dumb. That would help prevent cheesy camping strategies and reduce GSP farming.

There should also be an option to set more then one preference. Like, I should be able to say that I'm up for either Omega or Battlefield forms without having to pick one over the other. Or be able to say I'm up for either two stock or three stock.

Because we all loved how Samus turned out when they tried to delve into her past and expand her character.

Other M was a classic.

What if instead of getting a playable character, we get Minecraft representation in the form of a Stage Builder?
I'm not such a big fan of the whole Steve in smash idea. Sure, it is an iconic game, sure there is many different reasons he should be in the game. I just don't think it would fit the system. But that is just my opinion on Steve. Also not so sure about the stage builder, would be interesting though.

xD That's definitely true. That is why the whole evolution line goes for my Silly Roidley exclusively out of how funny it is.

I want Other M tier stories for other games, it's so hilariously bad.

Super Mario Bros: Other Castle.
Only Kid Icarus could make gold out of Other M

Wolf short hop nairs on that roller makes me giddy, especially if they are predictable.

You think?
I found it boring, tbh. Everyone is friends, that Linda stuff. Not the strongest narrative
At least it had the decency of trying to be slightly simple. Conquest and Revelation had no idea what they were actually trying to do or be.

I'll give you that, but a wobbly story with good characters is still better than a boring story with boring characters.
In my opinion, that is

I believe you mean Birthright?
I mean all of them. All of them are terrible stories with bad character arcs.

Birthright is the trope-iest but least offensive one. Conquest is the more interesting but worse executed one. Revelation is like if M. Night Shyamalan got his hands on the game and said, "You know what would be great...?"

Y'know what's stupid about Fates?

:ultcorrin:We can't bone, we're related. That's forbidden love!

Sister: Actually you were adopted, and i'm only here because my cousin's uncle's dog left me here for a sleepover and never came back.

:ultcorrin: Incest time!

It's really stupid.

I think that Fates saving Grace is in some of the Nohrian characters. But yeah, storywise, no path is that strong.

No guys you see that title an only work if it’s just as completely unsubtle with it’s symbolism as the rest of the story:

Metroid: Other M is an acronym for MOM.
Other M is an anagram of Mother.

It’s an anagram within an acronym!! And it’s clear that they focused more on that title than the actual story.

That game is an $80 dumpster fire.

If that's a way to resume it, I don't want to even know how the whole real deal is. o-o

Thank you!
