Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[TheAnvil]

Isaac not being "relevant" is a non-argument when K Rool just got in.

To be fair it's completely different.

DK is a living franchise, and Nintendo's 4th most successful IP ever. Golden Sun is niche, and dead.

 

[theromfather]

Geno will work either way though

- Being the last or second to last character announced on the base roster is enough to hype the roster

- DLC will hype up people into buying a popular character that's heavily requested


If Geno does end up DLC, I'll buy the **** out of him

I’d be first in line to buy but that would be a grimy tactic for one of the most requested smash characters for years and a personal favorite of Sakurai himself.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Listen i don't wanna sound rude but Jon, GX, please:


Shut the **** up.

Found the right gif for this one.

What a classic.

 

[amazonevan19]

Insiders honestly have me very worried but I choose to believe the leak still.

That excuse doesn't work for Ridley

 

[xAquaCrystal]

anyone?

Some of them are expecting two echo fighters which are ken and shadow. However some are still not sure about shadow

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Shadow and Viridi...lemme be loved for once Sakurai

 

[Bob-omb-omb]

can't believe some smash fans are still using relevancy as an argument against a character in 2018 tbh

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also if Isaac can't get in because of relevancy despite being a fan favorite from a dead franchise.

How would Chibi Robo slip into the roster? He's been struggling himself too. Not quite as dead as Isaac's franchise, but phew those last few games.

And I'm someone who'd love Chibi Robo to get in.

They are saying he's just lucky enough to have a game come out during the time they were making the Smash roster that'd he'd be considered.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

I lost a lot of respect for GameXplain when Andre made that comparison on Twitter of the Grinch leak supporters with members of a Trump rally. I don't even like Trump or his supporters (I was especially appalled with the news of the bomb scare), but that comparison felt unnecessary and it felt like he was demonizing them just for not blindly believing insiders that didn't have legitimate evidence backing their claims. He is a game journalist, not a real journalist. Most of us don't care about his political opinions. We just want to hear his news on gaming and that's it. Now I really hope the Grinch leak is real.

 

[Mr. Johan]

At this point I won't be shocked if Nintendo created two murals, with one serving as leak bait to pass along to the others while the real completed one was kept under wraps until now.

 

[Phyr]

The lekers are beyond damage control.

Every one pf them are just making fake txet leaks right now. There is not even a bit of coincidence, and some have retconned things they have said before (Mystic, Emilie now saying "more than one" Ats, now gameexplain with LOL CHIBIROBO).

With the Direct out, Nintendo will have given green lights to say whatever as long as to have people guessing. Even if grinch leak is fake, none of these insiders have a slight hint (or wouldn't be telling us) of what is in. Don't give him internet points listening to them please.

 

[CannonStreak]

I'm keeping tabs on Jon. He's the one that "predicted" all that crazy stuff in September.

- Story mode against main villains that have kidnapped the heroes, CGI cutscenes.
- A new Pokémon fighter.
- Chibi-Robo.
- A Tetris stage.
- Viridi as Palutena echo.
- Tropical Freeze stage (Saw Mill Thrill).
- Online seasons with franchises. Splatfests almost, like "Mario vs. Zelda" and characters earn points for their franchise.
- 100% on Ken being an echo.
- Doesn't think Isaac is relevant enough to be a fighter, especially after being cut from an AT.
- Master Hand will speak, and have dialogue, during Classic and Spirits modes. Specifies hand puns.
- Rayman and Klonoa are ATs.
- We'll learn about DLC, but no DLC characters shown off in this Direct.
- No new Xenoblade characters, but a Skell will be an item to jump in and attack enemies.
- Says Geno and Banjo won't be in the base game, but are likely for DLC.

We'll see, Jon.

Some of this sounds far fetched to me if he said that. I mean, as minor as the following point is, how does he know Spirits really is Spirits? For all we know, it could be called something else. And Viridi as an echo, Rayman and Klonoa as ATs, a Tetris stage, the Skell and other things are seemingly mere guesses, and I doubt these will be lucky guesses. What does anyone else think of this?

 

[Starphoenix]

Sendoff character for the base roster is going to be Sora. Book it.

 

[Kuraudo]

Bomber man is a third party assist

Yep. It’s him.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

WAIT

What happened to the new thread?

Why are we still in the old one?

Was there even a new one?

 

[Polar Bair]

They're not echoes.

Damn you're a quick one.

Virid's already a stage character though...

This. If he becomes DLC, I’d buy him twice if that was possible.

 

[Untouch]

Is there a source on this? As a big fan of Uprising, I'd find this bit of information to be of great interest.

I don't know if you meant to quote me, but there's been DLC that had a higher rating than the main game.
http://www.esrb.org/ratings/faq.aspx#16.5
Total War did this, they cut the blood and gore out to give it a lower rating then sold it back to get around that.

Warchamp7 decided he wanted to kill my dreams of page 6666 and combined the threads.

Jon saying Chibi is in does not surpass all the evidence for the Grinch leak imo, but it does present me with a scenario I want more than it

 

[-crump-]

Wait wait wait....

I just realized, if this is the last Smash Ultimate news we’re getting, what the heck are we supposed to talk about for the rest of the month?
Will we get to 6969 without the constant discussion stirrer of the Grinch Leak?

Speculate DLC lol.

 

[CannonStreak]

Wasn't Chibi Robo's trademark not renewed, or is that something else that didn't get renewed, trademark wise?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Surely we will.

Even if it comes down to the same rotating cycle of debate topics and forum games.

Speculate DLC lol.

That too.

Sora, Banjo, and Lloyd will all be DLC if they don't make base game. Mark my words.

 

[Dixie Kong]

So I read Jon says he expects a Tropical Freeze stage?! That gives hope for a Dixie reveal!

 

[Pyra]

Speculate DLC lol.

Ultra Instinct Mario, day 1 DLC
Calling it

 

[Z25]

We did it guys, we **** posted our to 6666 plus pages before the direct.

Let's go!

DLC, actually talking about the content in the game, music every Tuesday (wonder what we get tonight if we get anything) etc.

 

[Originality]

A new (er, remake of the first) Chibi Robo game came out in Japan in 2009, it's not due for a renewal yet- IF it got renewed that year that is
Not even mentioning Zip Lash

I chuckled at this gif.

But why did you have to quote this person twice? Think you both gotta take a step back, personally.

—

Shifting gears though (on break. woo!) Whats everyone got planned for the day of/Halloween night? After I’m done work, I’m gonna be playing some spooky games and friendlies with 2ManyCooks as a nice Smash 4 sendoff.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

So I read Jon says he expects a Tropical Freeze stage?! That gives hope for a Dixie reveal!

I would take GameXplain's predictions with a grain of salt. They've been wrong before. It would be great if he was right, though. DK could use another stage anyways.

 

[TheAnvil]

That excuse doesn't work for Ridley

Ridley had Samus Returns tho

 

[HesIn]

I love the Chibi Robo games, but that's random even for Sakurai. He's not a retro pick either to balance out the randomness.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

- Viridi as Palutena echo.

At most she'd be a semi-clone. She doesn't have the height and dimensions to match Palutena as an echo.

 

[CannonStreak]

A new (er, remake of the first) Chibi Robo game came out in Japan in 2009, it's not due for a renewal yet

Thanks for the explanation. I must of been thinking Custom Robo. Heh! What if they made a crossover called Custom Chibi Robo?
