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.

I suppose I'm either really good or just insanely lucky, because I got the "Do the Final Boss without KOs" challenge on my first "attempt" (I had already beaten the boss normally). #Humblebrag

I got the challenge by doing it as Ganondorf on Easy, I got "close" to dying a couple of times, but only in terms of my damage getting a bit too high for comfort, I was never really in any danger.

Here's some advice though, not sure if you need it or know this stuff already, but I'll hedge my bets:
  • During the final phase, there's no real rush; Galeem and Dharkon will hurt each other, try to focus more on evading and blocking their attacks, only attacking when the opportunity presents itself.
  • On Easy Mode during the First Phase; Warlock Punch can stop the part where Galeem and Dharkon gradually take up more and more of the screen in one hit (not sure if this applies to other modes).
  • During the second phase, a Maxim Tomato will spawn after every two bosses you defeat (again, on Easy, not sure about other modes), these Tomatos will stick around between Boss fights.
I had zero problems with the Ganondorf one because I used Celebi who is busted lmao

Actually when I went to pre-order Crafted World, the GameStop employee said that they were also gonna get "Yoshi lights" which she said was shaped like a Yoshi Egg. I have no idea what that is, but I ordered that too :yoshi:

Yoshi "lights"? Plural? I wonder if she meant that they were a single lamp that they were getting multiple of, or if they were multiple in a chain, like fairy lights (that they were getting multiple of).

The hard-hitting questions.

Oh sorry, I made it plural because it's a whole STOCK of them. No, I'm pretty sure it's like a neon light but I have no idea what it looks like...

From that description, I think I have an idea what it might be.

Something like an Egg on a Pedestal that has a bulb in it, that you can turn on to light up.

To be honest, I think a string of LED bulbs with Yoshi Head Shaped shrouds would be fun, especially if they were different colours.

I would literally laugh-out-loud if the yoshi lights end up staying true to their name and look amazing, unlike a certain special edition item from a certain company.

Such majesty.
The Infinity Stones were Easter Eggs the whole time.
...Well... Thanos did kind of go on a Hunt for them.

An... Easter Egg Hunt, if you will.

Woah slow down there buddy. I'm cool and all (you can tell because my avatar has sunglasses in it) but I'm not someone you'd wanna date. Just trust me on this one.
Aw, man. I thought we could cap this thread off right by finding love and riding off into the sunset while the other users toss flower petals behind us.

Guess I'll just go with plan B now and play some Smash.

Yeah, Ganondorf would probably work well, too. I'm playing on Normal, though, which is part of the challenge (can't imagine doing it on Hard).

I'm not having trouble with the first or second phases. The only problem I have with them is that you have to go through them all over again to attempt the third phase, which is where I have trouble.

Part of the trouble is also the bizarre way boss health bars are handled. The rate at which it drains decreases the more it depletes. That is to say, it's like the first 50% of the health bar represents more like 30% of the boss's total health, and the last 25% represents more like 50% of the boss's total health. It makes it difficult to get a grasp of the pace of the fight, and it throws me off.

What, dudes can't wear cute dresses now?
No.

They're only exclusive to black leather on every article of clothing. Leather jacket, leather shirt, leather pants, leather shoes, leather biker boots.

For me, doing it on Easy was incredibly cathartic, after the incredible amount of difficulty I had completing it on Hard Mode. :laugh:

I just let Ganondorf tear through all of Galeem and Dharkon's forces, while Sonic and Young Link (the two I picked for the second and third slots), sat back and watched.

I need to wait till the 1st of february here to watch it. I am so hyped!
Legitimately fantastic. It's so much spectacle and laugh out loud humor and the art style is so good. The theater was sold out with a bunch of nerds all equally as into it too. We were clapping and hollering and having a good time.

At one point an unexpected fight happens and the guy sitting behind me shouted "KICK HIS ASS!!!" while the rest of the audience clapped and cheered. It was so much fun.

I don't wear dresses, so i'm not a woman. But I don't wear leather jackets, so i'm not a man.

W-What am I?

Well I now have five friends who prefer to go by "they" and it's very hard to keep track of. So.

I guess moral of the story is move to Portland and you don't have to pick one.

If you have a moustache, you are allowed to wear jeans.

You just reminded me.

Way way back in the far off time known as August 2018, the original idea behind my "Noipoi" persona was that he was a legendary deity of sexiness and waffles. I was totally gonna run with that theme until I decided to be a normal person.
