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.

What Splatoon stage do you guys think will be the one chosen for Smash Bros 5, what tracks might appear(hopefully near all of them cause both games OSTs are amazing), and what are the chances of this stage being a spiritual successor to Smashville where now Callie and Marie or Off The Hook will appear in the back of the stage at certain times of the week.

Quoting myself because this feels relevant now. He is slowly moving from not being in the game, to being a full boss, to being a stage hazard with its own stock icon, to being playable. Should he get in, he was truly growing in reverse.
Ridley has always been in every smash game.

He's in the background of the metroid stage in 64, and then in melee's intro. You covered the rest, haha

Probably one based on Urchin Underpass or the main Splatoon 2 Stage (Inkblot?). I have a Salmon Run stage concept though.

And maybe make it so the Splatoon stage has splatfest stuff at the same time as the actual Splatoon 2 Splatfests?

He's not in SSB for 3DS.

I don't really trust rumors this early from announcement, if things could get out that quickly someone would have leaked the announcement of the game before the direct.

We need a Tetris & Dr. Mario Stage. Idk if it would be the same one or separate stages, but we need both eventually.

Though it was apparently planned at some point, as the 3DS data showed Ridley among the various Stage Bosses along with Pyrosphere. Probably something the 3DS couldn't handle. A literal case of being too big(data-wise). :p

All right time to bring my favorite time of they day, what to do with a possible credible rumor:
Assume it's fake until given otherwise.
If it's a text leak that's even worse.
If it's a photo/video leak than that can be faked too.

Please don't yell at others for believing/not believing the rumor.
That is all.
Thank you.

A Tetris stage is literally all i need other than Travis Touchdown.
No Ren Amamya? Consider me surprised. Usually when people name themselves after a character, or use the profile image of a certain character, they want that character. Once Sakurai retires, you should replace him. Master of surprise, you are.

I mean, not saying the leak is real, this could be perfectly false, but I've seen on Gamefaqs a lot of people on dennial about the leak, claiming there is no way Ridley is playable, and rightfully so, because that may be true, but then again a lot of people claimed with seemingly 100% of confidence that Smash would not be revealed at the last Direct, and look how that turned out..

Ridley is would be just a big deal.

It would like to see live reactions (actual live reactions) from their fans if it actually happened.

To say that i need Ren Amamiya would be pretty obvious, i think. I would KILL SOMEONE to see him in Smash, lol.

Nothing's funnier than watching reactions to Smash trailers. I know they are really low effort but something's great about knowing something that the other person doesn't.

Guys come on clearly they mean Big Smoke is going to get in instead.
You gotta follow the damn train


Seriously though I'll take this one with two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s one with cheese and a large soda

Well trying to predict Smash has become such a meme, wouldn't blame anyone for not saying anything. And even if they did, it'd probably get laughed at/ignored. Obviously this is just a rumor and I don't believe anyone is taking it as fact, but due to the sources, it's worth remembering.

Plus, if you get caught, you would not be able to enjoy Smash in prison. The older ones perhaps, but if you think they are going to buy them joycons, boi!
Or you may be forced to play Smash with a JoyCon (sideways). Not sure what would be worse honestly.

The amount of free promo Smash would get on all social media if Ridley was announced is worth spending the time on making him work. It seems absurd to me that at no point someone more senior at Nintendo approached Sakurai and said look, I know it's your game but you gotta put him in this time. Smash is literally just one giant hype machine. Throw in your biggest piece of coal.

Oh, this went places. :love:

I thought Smash might be confirmed for the Direct... and I laughed at myself. So I can see where you are coming from.

You know, I think Ridley may be too big.
But if he is actually added, that would be really awesome and impressive how they managed to fairly size Ridley.
I will buy a Golden Ridley statue and lick it all over in respect. :)

EMILY, FIND OUT IF BANDANNA DEE IS IN SMASH BROTHERS. Then again, it would be nice for it to be a surprise.
Not even a week after smash switch is announced and there's already a couple rumors.

Ridley being playable just HAD to be the second one.
Trust me, we are going to get a King K. Rool leak very soon. I can feel it.

I imagine the ballot will play a big role in picking newcomers this time around so I can definitely see Ridley making it in this time. Which might also mean K. Rool, Isaac, etc. might have a decent chance as well.

Hopefully :snake: as well...

I am not taking the Ridley rumor with a grain of salt.

I am just accepting it.

Ridley is in.

I mean... I like joking about the fact that Ridley is never going to be in Smash because of his size...
But if he does make it in, i'll find a new main in him.

If Ridley is in there is no way that they would not reveal him at E3. It would be one of the hypes Smash reveals so a huge audience like that would be awesome.
I think we will see a similar set of reveals as Smash 4's first trailer: Villager Wii Fit trainer and Megaman
For this trailer it could be Inklings Ridley and a third party, maybe less maybe more, but we dont know at the moment

The problem with Snake is the whole Konami Kojima situation and the fact that Sakurai is friends with Kojima. I could very well see that as the reason Snake will not be back.
