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.

Ah I see. Have they confirmed that they're separate characters yet? Cause I'm pretty sure they're the same character.
i mean they probably are in the game bu that design is 100% more inspired by the manga's green than by gen 3 leaf. not really a nostalgia dig i would have expected, but welcome

I've always just seen the manga names as legitimately non-canon. Unless you really want to believe someone goes around calling herself White2, that is.

Even then, Green's design in the manga is based on unused RBY art anyway. And remakes supersede the original, as with Gold becoming Ethan.

Ergo, it's Leaf. :p

To bring this back to Smash, I'm happy Leaf finally joined Red in Ultimate.

Was it confirmed that we can change our Mii Fighter's faces?
I mean, what would be the point of mii fighters if we couldn't change the faces? That's like the whole shtick.

But if you want a true confirmation Sakurai did use his own mii in a spirit mode fight

I'm pretty sure Leaf's name is still officially Leaf because of the Japan/English issue of the original rival being either Green or Blue. So to solve this, they just call her Leaf, and keep the Green/Blue to the localization to manage

While she probably is inspired by the manga, I think she might be based on this:

Concept art for a female trainer in Gen 1, which seems to have developed into the Leaf/Green we know today

I'm just sad that there's seemingly no Miitopia content.

Ah well, maybe some music...

sakurai would never abandon one of his beloved IPs
Well you’re not wrong (Kirby still has his love)
Not to put the guy on the pedestal, but can they even do that? Afaik, every fighter until now designed by Sakurai.

But at one point he has to call it a game. It can be after first wave of DLC.
Sakurai will call it a game when he dies...so never (though he would still be apart of Smash development, just not hands on)
According to this upcoming figure

Her name is officially Leaf.
How the hell is she supposed to be 10? Unrelated but still...how

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ According to my research, she hasn't been given an official age.

I have one dumb question:

I heard that a number of people want a Touhou character in Smash. That’s fine, but as someone who hasn’t played Touhou and only knows that the game is some kind of space shooter, i find something weird, and that is the moveset.

Since Touhou is a space shooter, how could they expand the moveset for a Touhou character while keeping in a way that works the shooter stuff?

Nothing relating to Ultimate but...

ZeRo, the Smash 4 Legend, will now come out of retirement and compete Smash with a new sponsor!

No longer he will be TSM but Tempo Storm (alongside other Smash competitors like Axe and S2J!)

He's looking forward to compete Ultimate!
There was a problem fetching the tweet

I'm pretty confident the DLC characters will be used to promote some of their upcoming games seeing as how Nintendo was picking them.

Although, I guess I could still see Doom Slayer since Bethesda has talked to Nintendo about Smash already and Doom Eternal coming up soonish.

I really want the Best Ending to smash DLC which is Porky as a promo for a global Mother 3 re-release but I think I forgot to do a couple side quests earlier in the hype cycle so I guess that's not happening.

Looking forward to seeing if he's still got it. At the very least he'll keep the scene entertaining.
