Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Honestly, I think Steve is an inevitability at this point, for better(My stance), or for worse(Most other people)


Vergeben still is standing by "Minecraft Content" being in, and at this point that means it's going to be a Stage and Music... so unless we're getting another Microsoft character who is going to use the Minecraft stage as their home-world, it's going to be Steve.


It 'COULD' be a Spirit, not denying that, but that would still imply a Microsoft rep of some form, since I highly doubt Nintendo would go to Microsoft for a couple PNGs and nothing else.

Minecraft Spirits coming with Banjo content makes sense.

 

[Starbound]

I just had a thought: Could Piranha Plant have been influenced by the fact that Petey possibly being a returning boss in Spirits?

Piranha Plant is actually Galeem and Petey is a boss trying to protect his son.

That's my head canon now.

CLASSIC MODE IS GETTING REVEALED. LET'S GET IT.

Honestly, I've never been a huge fan of the fire starter being humanoid.
Except Infernape, because he's just Sun Wukong except full monkey.

 

[Nethermoosen]

They are about to show single player mode on the Japanese exposition of Smash.

Here is a link again to Playeressence’s live commentary:

Minecraft Spirits coming with Banjo content makes sense.

And so does Minecraft content with Banjo spirits. Your point?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I don't think they will go through Disney to get a semi wanted character i gess Katalina not very wanted but again we got so maybe...

>Sora
>semi-wanted

You don't get outside of these boards much do you?

 

[Deleted member]

During Classic Mode, every round that you complete, the difficulty gets harder by +.5.

The Kid Icarus style setting of difficulty is back.

Hey y'all,

I've been lurking for a while but yesterday's direct and all the discussion since has finally spurred me to make an account. Thought I may offer my two cents on the possible DLC characters since I'm probably more of a casual than a majority of the people on this board. I'm a huge Smash fan, used to have huge tournaments with my friends with Melee but was out since Brawl since I skipped the WiiU. That being said, I'm not super caught up with all the franchises (just starting to dive deeper since I got the switch), especially the niche ones. Figured it might be an interesting perspective to some.

-Banjo Kazooie and Crash are probably the two characters I'd most want in the game. My 90s background is showing. Lots of great memories with Crash Racing growing up. Rayman would be great too.
-Sora is a character I'd recognize and would be happy to see a KH representative, even though I haven't personally played it. Have a friend who loves it though.
-Geno: I'm amazed a one-off character from a game from so long ago is such a desired choice, but I hope he gets in for the people who want him
-Steve: I really hope this doesn't happen, as someone who doesn't like minecraft. I get it though, and if he got in and it didn't mean Banjo was out, I'd survive.
-I have no clue who Katalina is. Not super familiar with Xenoblade either, but it seems to be very popular so a second rep would make sense,

So, as a casual video game fan (as casual as you can be while also spending hours looking at Smash speculation) with around intermediate knowledge, I'd want Banjo, Crash and Sora for sure. Spyro jumps out at me too but I don't think that's the least bit realistic. I think all the Nintendo characters who aren't in it now as either fighters or AT are a bit too niche for me to really say.

I prefer unique characters to people with swords. Please for the love of god no more Fire Emblem characters.

Looking forward to talking with you guys!

 

[ZephyrZ]

Yeah, but I like it when they do that. That's why I liked Charizard having Rock Smash.

Was a Fighting-type move, looked like a Rock-type move and, on December 7th, will become a Ghost-type move.

RIP Rock Smash, 2008 - 2018

Hi, welcome

Vergeven is a fraud

A fraud who got a majority of what he said correct.
It's Gematsu 2.0.

>semi-wanted

You don't get outside of these boards much do you?

dude people here think there's anyone gives a remote **** about geno still left

 

[Wiziliz]

Vergeben says a 2nd Square rep and Minecraft "Content" is in the game.


Spawn Wave says Sora is coming


Senjou_Hitagi says Steve and Katalina are in the game



If these 3 are to be taken as 'true', then that'd be 3 of our 5.

Still makes me somewhat sick to think of playable Steve. Hopefully he's wrong, he's not always right!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Vergeven is a fraud

He's gotten literally everything right though.

 

[Deleted member]

During Classic Mode, every character's route is themed.
For example, Ryu's route in Classic Mode, every match is a Stamina Smash match, a kin to Street Fighter.

 

[LuigiBros7]

Classic Mode seems really cool this time around with the different versions for each character. Ryu does 1v1 fights in Stamina mode on Omega mode stages.

 

[Starbound]

Also I was thinking a bit about the idea of Katalina, and I can't help but compare her situation to what Marth's must have been like back in 2001, especially when the origin games are really similar.

Maybe she'll get beloved by everyone that that Granblue console game comes to Switch instead of being PS4 exclusive.

 

[Shroob]

Vergeven is a fraud

Sorry, but nope.

I wonder what Piranha Plant's route is...

I really like that it's gonna make every characters classic mode way more interesting to replay.

Yes. I much rather have Banjo as a character if we're getting anything from Microsoft. And Minecraft spirits would technically count as "Minecraft content".

Maybe that's why Vergeben didn't know exactly what type of content Minecraft would get.

 

[Shroob]

I still want to know what's the 'point' of Classic mode.


I wish they had kept trophies for the playable fighters, because if my hunch is correct, then the only reason to run Classic will probably be for Gold now.

 

[Will]

I don't know what's worse, letting the salt in the wounds simmer or wait another month for this game when it seems 99% ready to go.

 

[Zinith]

I can't wait to see what my boi's Classic Mode theme is...

 

[Deleted member]

YO. HERCULES CONFIRMED FOR SMASH.

Because it's Classic. There's either an unspecified reward or something else behind it, such as alternate unlock methods if you won't do it through Spirits.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Harry from Teleroboxer is a spirt. It's cool to have some Virtual Boy represetation, I guess.

 

[IceKitsune]

It's an Arcade mode. I think SF 5 really showed how bad of idea not having an Arcade mode at launch is.

 

[osby]

Wow, Spirits look really fun.

 

[Starbound]

Still makes me somewhat sick to think of playable Steve. Hopefully he's wrong, he's not always right!

If Sakurai can make a ****ing potted plant interesting, I have no doubt he can make Steve interesting.

 

[Jetsurge]

I ordered the roster by series. Hopefully this is an option in the game. They'll have to resize in game once dlc gets on. There's only room for 2 more.

 

[LetterO]

And so does Minecraft content with Banjo spirits. Your point?

Yes but I want Banjo content and Minecraft spirits. Sakurai lives next to my house, so my wants get upmost priority.

 

[Idon]

Wow, there's a TON of work put into this.

And I sure as hell am not gonna be interested in this at all.

Yo isn't that from the Hercules RPG series?

 

[Deleted member]

Gotta let Pokemon have room to breath.

I have the game preloaded, so it's all there...just sitting there...taunting me...for five weeks...

 

[Shroob]

I 'get' the Steve hate, but personally, I've never hated him or Minecraft, and I don't think you do either unless you hate the fanbase of it.


No, the reason you hate Steve probably has more to do with:


"They went to Microsoft and got STEVE over BANJO?!"


Sad, but true. I grew up with Banjo Kazooie and I love Tooie, but if Steve gets in, I'm not going to hold it against him. His franchise is the 2nd biggest series ever and has earned its iconicness.

 

[Deleted member]

YUP.

They included ****ing Hercules from the Hercules RPG.
You know now he has a tiny chance to be a playable fighter in the future.

**** Geno, we Hercules Gang.

The solution is simple: Forget Banjo, forget Minecraft, we're getting the ****ing CHIEF
