Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Sehnsucht]

In about 12 hours I will awaken.

In preparation I will have buffed my bod with steel wire, put an exfoliating mask on my face (then remove them both), cleanse my colon by examining your posting histories, and fall just short of an emotional breakthrough as part of a strict regimen of psychological edging.

How will you all be preparing for the Direct?

 

[Will]

Not going to pray for the Grinch leak being fake or anything.

Just for regardless on whether or not it's real that Incineroar is still in.

and then decidueye rises from the grave and all of smashboards goes

 

[Luigi The President]

I know we are just about 12 hours until the Direct and we are mad with hype but I do have a favor to ask everyone.

As many of you know, I’m an English teacher in Japan and teach at elementary and junior high schools. I was given a massive room to transform into the schools official English room to conduct our classes in and the principal asked me to make some fun decorations. So I’ve been making tons of banners and stuff. Flags dropping along string across the room. Some carnival like games using English. Stuff like that. We have a huge demonstration lesson on the 27th I believe where over a hundred teachers will be coming to watch the class.

Anyways, I am thinking of making an alphabet poster with a Nintendo theme since nintendo is currently in and Sumabura (Smash bros in Japanese) is extremely popular.

So like (M is Mario) type of deal. Anyone wanna try filling these out for me?

[AzureFlame4]

Where's the insider claiming Phoenix Wright is in the direct tomorrow? Why don't they exist?

 

[Calane]

If I may be a bit selfish for a moment, my biggest hope is that I get to see DQ finally join Smash. It used to be something that I never thought was possible, but for some reason, I just feel like there's a chance it could happen with Ultimate. I'll try to be happy no matter what happens, but that's my greatest wish. If it doesn't happen in the direct, then I'll wait until the Game Awards. I won't give up the dream until it's been thoroughly crushed.

C'mon, Erdrick! I want to believe!

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Jinx? What is Jinx from? Jynx from Pokémon?

C'mon, am I the only one who remembers this character? Super Mario RPG has so many awesome characters I will never forget.. Same goes for Golden Sun too!

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Do other people feel like they are going to love tomorrow no matter what characters show up? I got so many wishes but I will be happy with pretty much anyone.

I mean either way I'm gonna get someone hype worthy for me,
If the Grinch leak is real, I get my most wanted characters with Chorus Kids...
If not, I'll still likely get Incineroar and Ken...
I'm probably gonna be fine no matter what...

 

[Will]

A rudimentary game bequeaths a rudimentary character and style.

A deuteragonist that's arguably more recognized than the star of the rudimentary game bequeefs when they bequeath.

 

[Mecakoto]

So, someone posted the old leak thread for ESRB on Reddit. I never got to read it before now, but I gotta say, there are some insane similarities. And there are 180 guests reading it now.

Anyone have links to the older versions? From the comments, seems like the one linked on Reddit was the final one and was a new thread in a series. I'm hella curious.

Edit: Reddit post in question: https://np.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/9t4w52/as_the_leaks_and_rumors_for_ultimate_are_coming/

Great. I edited my last message that I wanted it to be Nintendo related so not only Smash character but other Nintendo elements. Thanks for the ideas though

3/4 things this week have been overtly blue, that feels suspicious.

Lets make that 4/5.

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

Do other people feel like they are going to love tomorrow no matter what characters show up? I got so many wishes but I will be happy with pretty much anyone.

King K Rool is the best thing to happen to Super Smash Bros Ultimate and I would like to see the same for Isaac, we came a long way since back when Smash 4 was announced, its time for the Golden Sun to rise so lets go #TeamReal with Incineroar and Medusa as dlc.

 

[Zinith]

Amen, VORE.

I thought the same thing lol

 

[HesIn]

The hell is Frisk gonna do, stab me like the gajillion other sword fighters?

I'll take my skeleton Magneto any day, thank you.

There's a couple great fighting games with knife users, like the Fate ones. We could use a good knife user (thought it might be too "violent", even for Smash)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If the only newcomers revealed in the direct are Ken and Incineroar I will shoot myself with a coconut gun

Really? Regardless if they're the last the roster is still impressive as it is especially since its got these two.



Anything else is just icing on cake.

 

[TeamFlareZakk]

If the only newcomers revealed in the direct are Ken and Incineroar I will shoot myself with a coconut gun

Agreed.

As Lord Ghetsis would say... I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS!!

 

[Calane]

If the only newcomers revealed in the direct are Ken and Incineroar I will shoot myself with a coconut gun

Sounds like that's gonna hurt.

Maybe you should reconsider.

 

[Dan]

One of the Lakers players showed up dressed as the Grinch... dying to know if this was done cause of Smash.

 

[Untouch]

lol probably not, they've been marketing the movie pretty hard lately

Quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

[Z25]

Someone on GameFAQs came up with a theory about this weeks blog posts:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77154597#9

1. Zero Suit Samus. A blue-clad space warrior who fights with guns.
2. Living Room. A stage covered in toys.
3. Rosalina. A blue-clad star warrior from the Mario franchise.
4. Klaptrap. A blue character originating from an SNES game.

Does it actually mean Geno or is it just some crazy conspiracy theory?

No... don't do this to me...

 

[Polan]

3/4 things this week have been overtly blue, that feels suspicious.

Happy-Happyist Cultist confirmed.

 

[HesIn]

By the way, does anyone else feel like the chances of no Geno, Skull Kid or Isaac are almost negative? It would feel ridiculous to me if at least ONE of these guys didn't get in. It really doesn't feel like K Rool was the end of the "GameFAQS picks".

Blades are fine. It's handguns with bullets that can get skeevy if not handled properly.

 

[Ura]

My predictions for the final game. I should note that in this roster, Geno is the first DLC character which is why he isn't on here.

Lets see my luck tomorrow...

Playable Characters

Assist Trophies

Bosses

I'm not at all trying to sound rude but you're the only person I still see bringing up Skull Kid. In my mind he's dead and gone RIP

Chances of seeing no Geno and Isaac are fairly likely.

We already got a knife user.

It's just connected to his body.

Hades honestly makes more sense as a boss then Medusa would especially as among the masterminds behind the story if Spirits is a SSE like story. Also Why would Magnus return but Phosphora wouldn't? Pretty certain it'd be the opposite since she's probably more popular.

Worth noting that some of these characters have different names in Japanese:

Bowser/Jr. is Koopa/Jr.; Jigglypuff is Purin, Isabelle is Shizue, Villager is Murabito, Megaman is Rockman, Robin is Reflet, Dark Pit is Black Pit

That said, you can probably fill in the holes with Pokemon or Mario enemies to make sure they are recognizable. (Be sure to check the JP names or the kids will be confused!)

I would say that Issac has the most likely chance of getting a slot and possibly Geno if Square Enix allows it. Skull Kid would probably be an assist trophy again.
