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.

The game has already over 70 characters, how many more it needs to last long?

To be fair I don't think it's about how many characters they need to "last" like that other guy said. If the game is good it'll stand the test of time (hell how long has Melee been around? More than 10 years competitively?)

It's more the idea that Nintendo is a business, and Smash DLC is no doubt ridiculously profitable.

Sure it doesn't build hype as well, but it's quite lucrative.

the new characters were revealed in order of appearance on Nintendo systems. it was an easter egg for fans. and honestly the most Sakurai way to do it.

P. Plant isn't part of the Fighter Pass though, so the path Ultimate's DLC will take will actually be decided by the first non PP DLC reveal.

The season pass only matters for those 5 characters after all. P. Plant is something separate.

But when Piranha Plant is also getting his own stage and music, which has been confirmed, you can't really help but to also include him amongst the rest of the Fighter Pass characters.

I mean, I personally wouldn't worry about it too much, but hey, if you're that concerned you could just skip the DLC all together.

Some more quick thoughts:

If Rex & Pyra ain't making it in, I highly doubt at this point Elma will be in the game at all. Seeing how Xenoblade is getting treated, there's literally only three songs from Xenoblade 2 and no Xenoblade X music. At this point, I think the time has passed for her. It's an all around unfortunate situation because her game is also on a dead console, people know Rex more than Elma and it's... Yeah, it feels like Xenoblade overall got shafted once again. Hard.

I still can't get over how ****ing terrible the pacing was for this Direct. Really, I'm shocked we spent time looking at BRIGHTNESS & SOUNDS IN A NINTENDO DIRECT.

Like, I feel like we're starting to go back to the Wii U era of Nintendo where it's "just good enough." The online doesn't seem promising, no trophies, too... But it's "good enough." And this is supposed to be "the Ultimate Smash Bros."

Like ****ing yikes man. No Break the Targets, no Smash Run, no Home-Run Contest? Where are all the fun games if you're including Multi-Man Smash?
I'm trying to find positive stuff, really I am, but this Direct really set my mood back a LOT.

I'm kinda upset about the Grinch leak. Sure, it was fun to talk about, but it gave people a false hope. Only for that hope to be destroyed.
Banjo, Chorus Kids and even Geno have a shot for dlc, but Isaac fans, Shadow fans...I feel bad for em.

The DLC lineup was decided as part of the project plan, which was right after XCX came out. She's by far the most likely first party left imo, because that robot gun is still unaccounted for.

Click to expand...
I mean, I didn't. I kept trying to say "Sakurai said not to expect too many new fighters, and he said the number of character reveals were going down," which Sakurai said specifically to prevent reactions like today happening. But people seemed to think Sakurai was just "trolling" despite being very clear in his words on two separate occasions.

Someone on /r/SmashBros put it perfectly: "Sakurai is the biggest mad lad in the universe, but he doesn't lie"

Sonic's a pretty cool guy, trying to save my dude Pikachu. It almost makes me want to play Forces.

Also Sega please get back to this.

Hot take... You don't need chatty 90s voices to communicate raw emotion.

Yeah I see it a different way but I totally understand what you are saying. I can totally see all of your points and a possibility of DQ in the game. The thing that I don’t feel is I don’t think it is a smart idea to try and break a game into the western market via another game and not the true game itself. To me I feel that the game should break the western market by their own game and not using dlc in smash as a way, cause it wouldn’t attract as many people. I cold be wrong and it works well but I just think people aren’t going to bite the bullet and pay the 6$ for something unfamiliar to them and thus both companies lose out. I don’t know if I am just bias but I personally think Sora is the way to go.

I completely see where you're coming from. I can see it going either way, personally. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

I'm not lying when I say this.

That moment and all the art/talk that's spawned from it has kinda reminded me why I liked Sonic games growing up.

I kinda wanna try seconding him now?

If Push "Hype Responsibly" Dustin is telling you to still have faith and believe, then you know you still have a chance.

However unlikely it is, he's right. They could always make a character out of an AT. There's no unwritten rule against it.

I know I took a huge hit to morale when I saw both Skull Kid and Shadow, but that doesn't mean I've lost all hope of it happening. If not in this Fighter Pass then in the possible future.

Play Mania instead.

Or if you want to play a good 3D Sonic game with good writing... Unleashed, Black Knight and Secret Rings were great but dunno if I can recommend their gameplay.

Well, the Grinch Leak was sadly faked! Oh well, in other news, has anyone brought up why the Baseball item on the website is called the BEASTBALL??

But you know how that's gonna end up. Like I said, it's unfortunate for Xenoblade all around. Fans got the hard pill with knowing that a port of Xenoblade X probably will never happen after Takahashi said it'd be "very difficult to do", and again, combine that with the timing of each games and with the general audience in general knowing Xenoblade 2 over X, I just can't help but feel it's gonna be a bit of another controversial pick.

That being said, I'm now wondering if the Smash Ballot has any merit, since DLC was also planned alongside the roster. Like, originally I thought Sora would be in as the Square rep, but since this was during 2015, I'm possibly hoping it's Geno.

But who could you really add that is gonna catch people, since you planned this during the project plan? This is why I'm hoping we aren't getting just five sets and have a season 2, because Ultimate might need it. :/

I'm going to say this. People should have listened and not let their emotions guide their critical thinking. There were Red flags and brushing them aside was always a detriment to those arguing for it being real.

reading some of these posts is unbelievable when they announced everyone is here people DID say there would be consequences. the consequences are removed trophies, no target smash, no smash tour/smash run inclusion, no events. they poured so much time into bringing everyone back as well as spirits it is honestly impressive. and im reading posts complaining the direct went into small details and the pacing was bad.

Man the more I look at Wolf the more fun he looks to me. I love the idea of characters with great mobility but since they tend to be on the more technical or combo heavy side I tend to not pick them up unless they're characters I really love (such as Mewtwo), yet Wolf seems straitforward and very easy to control. Not to mention that wolves are just cool and edgy. No joke if he's both good and as fun as I think he is I might actually make him a secondary rather then just a pocket character. Then again having a true secondary while still maining Pokemon Trainer may be overkill and spreading myself too thin.

Edit: Well actually his run speed seems kind of slow, I guess it just seems fast to me because of the speed of the game. His jumps still seem good though.

Worse yet it turned everyone against eachother. No joke, that was possibly the most toxic I've ever seen this fanbase become. Even I struggled to keep from adding to the toxicity. And I was a Dark Pit main at the start of Smash 4's life span.

I've been really sarcastic lately.

Yeah no, anyone who actively chose to ignore Sakurai and what he said has only themselves to blame, not even Grinch leak can take that. Despite continuous warnings that Smash Ultimate was nothing like Smash 4 (and the timing when similar claims were made), people just want to feel ultra-hyped and burn out terribly in the end.

You can hype about Incineroar and Ken, you just have to take some steps back and see what we already had

It's extremely wishful thinking for a number of reasons I've said before, but as one of the last great fan rules to break, now's as good a time as any. :)
