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.

Wait a moment...

When did the general threads get merged? Wasn't the old one acting glitchy or something? Now we're back in it again and I didn't even realize it?

This week just keeps getting more and more confusing as it goes.

You say that but there were people like me who were pulling for Bayo the entire time. She had ballot support. She had buzz, just nobody thought it'd happen

Dante is in a similar situation
Oh, I'm aware of her support, I just find her inclusion funny because a lot of people just ignored it because "she's too sexy" or she wasn't top five.

Don't worry, it's just a cheap trick weak threads use to make themselves stronger.

If there is a mysterious 3rd party rep, who do you think it could be?

Im guessing either Sora or Master Freaken Chief.

Also I have a conspiracy that we've been given hints of pheonix wright being playable by an insider but I never realized it till today.

Haha.. Yeah, either they merged or we're back in the old thread. Been like that for a day or so.

Why do you feel like that's likely? Phosphora isn't exactly a 'big' character in Kid Icarus Uprising and she'd be a returning Assist Trophy most likely, so outside of maybe appearing in one of those AT Montages, I can't see her appearing..and even the montage is iffy even if she returns as an AT (which seems likely enough).
Well I technically didn't say "playable" in my context, even though I do want her playable. Even though she really isn't big, I personally see her as the 2nd highest chance for another KI rep after Medusa. Plus it's not the first time an Assist Trophy had been promoted to a playable character, so the possibility still exists. It may not be a high chance, but it's still a possibility. I'm sure many of us think it's still odd that both she and Magnus suddenly disappeared from AT status (probably because demo things), and the lack of KI things in general happening. I mean sure the only new thing we got is the Insight Staff and Pit's new FS... and Palu's slightly different moveset, but again, it's just me being curious and all.

Sometimes I feel many people are focused too much on the mainly talked about characters and forget that other possibilities can happen. For me, Phosphora just happens to be that one that is often ignored, in favor of Medusa (who I also want playable) or Hades, who I could see as a boss (though Twinbellows would be a brilliant KI boss choice too). And I already mentioned Monster Hunter a few times.

All ive learned from this is that the people saying its fake have no proof and the people saying its real have no clue what the **** is going on anymore lol.

I really want the leak to be real just so the assholes at GX get shot down for being so pretentious.

Our lord and savior of the flaming boards, Warchamp7 Warchamp7 , fix'd it I believe. So now there's a copypasta post I made of Intelliheaths original post lost somewhere in the Middle of the thread lol.

Verge's saying Isaac is an assist trophy. Wonder why Sakurai thought "People want this character playable, I'll bring them back as an Assist Trophy, that'll please them!" Cause I think most people would rather have Isaac be absent again
I don't understand why he even had to post that comment and specifically at that time. The Direct is just less than two days away. All he's doing at this point is causing unnecessary anxiety among the community. Seems like a real **** move.

Imagine what could have happened to King K Rool and look where he is now! The same must happen to Isaac considering just like King K Rool he is in demand for a playable character from all these fans.

So a thought occurred to me.

When Jon became more involved with GX, they launched a series called "the case for"

Now what is this about?

The GX crew debate a character's chances at being playable. They started with Ridley and have done bandanna dee. But these cases are done in a AA style.

Now what's interesting is that Master Hand is the judge.

And what does he do? Talk, just like Jon "predicted" in today's video.

What if talking masterhand was literally hinted to us for all this time and Pheonix wright?

I'm probably wrong but just a coincidence I noticed.

People complained a lot when he was absent in the last game, too. I don't think anything short of a playable character will satisfy his fans at this point.

In the past, Sakurai has stated that he views echoes and assist trophies as "bonuses." implying he wouldn't have put them in in any other form to begin with.
Personally, I feel that's just PRspeak for "Be grateful you little ****s" but that's just me.

Short of being a unique playable character that represents a franchise properly, you're going to find disappointment in every other form.

To temper peoples expectations. It hurts, but it was a good move in the long run.

I have a very VERY VEEEEEEERRRRRRRYYYY strong feeling that tomorrow morning is gonna be a disaster. I definitely see more reliable insiders like Verge and some of the ResetEra members getting more information about the direct tomorrow.

Waluigi, Ashley, Krystal, I think there are several ATs that'd like a word

I think he would have said so sooner but the info had just became credible enough to talk about

or he just likest to stir the pot, he's a leaker after all

Oh its true.

Sora and Dante look most likely right now.
Especially Sora if you consider Square's involvement.. Dante.. Idk, why didnt Konami get Bomberman if 3rd parties were coming in threes?

Hey, Lyn fans exist too!

Well, not as much as the other guys, but we got Alpharad, so that's... that's... something...
Oh god, that's probably a negative.

Anyone else think Jon’s voice is reminiscent of a wise god among nerdy mortals? You hear all the rest of the dudes on GX speaking and you think little of it, then Jon’s voice booms over the horizon like it’s riding the first rays of the morning sun straight to your ears and harmonizing your eardrums with your heart.

ALpharad is partially responsible for Bayo getting in so....

If Master Hand is the judge I hope he has those reading glasses from that Awkward Zombie comic.

The thing about Waluigi though is he had to compete with Daisy and Geno... Daisy was a easy echo to add and Geno is regarded as a special character.

Maybe Wario's gimmick is hes actally a Mario character, but uses his Warioware brand because he wants to be a Wario character and so his Wario brand has to be all about him and hes refusing to share any of it with Waluigi and Ashley.

Im looking forward to seeing Phosphora as a assist trophy because she my favorite AT.. Im hoping they introduce something where we can turn on/off the assist trophies individually.. There are alot of them and i would like to call Phosphora as often as possible and get rid of that blue flying underwear beast that moves the screen.

This is a crazy *** timeline because of this. Also I think it's hilarious I just wanted to know everything about the game but now that we have the Direct tomorrow, with it being earlier than when my shift ends, I don't want to be spoiled lol
