Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

This is stating the obvious but Sakurai seems to have reminded everyone which characters won't be making it in according to GoNintendo

https://gonintendo.com/stories/3224...at-manga-characters-will-not-be-allowed-in-th

EDIT: Turns out this is a 10 year old source

And the same reasoning behind it, it's just too much licensing issues. Just like with any non-game character. And some too, which is why a DQ character isn't all that likely to begin with. Well, maybe if there's little music like Final Fantasy? But even then...

 

[MainJPW]

That's more than I can say for .

Outside of flaming punches atleast a bounty hunter that’s well versed in martial arts isn’t much of a stretch.

But giving him Falcon Punch did eventually birth this masterpiece:

 

[Opossum]

Wait.....

How old is Ike?

A gay man needs to know these things.....for reasons.

As far as the Smash Fire Emblem cast is concerned...

- 14 in the Shadow Dragon prologue, 16 in the main portion of Shadow Dragon, 18 at the start of New Mystery of the Emblem, and 19 at the end of it.
- 15
- 17 in Path of Radiance, 20 in Radiant Dawn
- 19 pre-timeskip, 21 post-timeskip
- Not specified, but presumably around Chrom's age
- Not specified, but Bad Future version is around pre-timeskip Chrom's age, but the main timeline version is an infant
- Not specified, to my knowledge

And for Assists...

Lyn - 15 in Japan, 18 elsewhere
Tiki - 1,000 in Shadow Dragon, 3,000 in Awakening
Black Knight - Not specified

Miyamoto says Mario is 24-25 years old. https://mynintendonews.com/2016/09/30/miyamoto-reveals-marios-age/

This is so strange, Mario is always like 40-55 in my mind from his old western media "80s/90s" mario stuff where he was some old plumber guy... I'll never shake that and think of him as a 20 something.

But how old are my favorite Fire Emblem characters, and ? They've got swords, so they must be from Fire Emblem.

 

[Deleted member]

Not much to do before Tuesday, which is when they'll talk about TGA nominees, might give us something to discuss then.




Rash from Battletoads, too, although he's not gonna be on the radar of fans that much before the 2019 'Toads game, unless Sakurai somehow managed to sneak him in.

If Rash does get in, I hope they make a reference to KI in his trailer.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Didn't Sakurai say around E3 something akin to how hard getting the rights was for the content in Ultimate?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

So... is canonically the youngest playable Smash character in terms of age in their debut game?
You can only get one in GS by breeding Pikachu/Raichu... Meaning that he's probably not even a year old at that point..
So does that mean when you beat up Pichu, you're punching a baby?
He is a baby Pokemon after all

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh...

Oh, thank god.

Shut up you guys did not just totally find out the Nintendo character I'd like to have carnal relations with.

Go back to your regularly schedule programming, nothing to see here.

Idk how to say this but he and Soren are already dating

 

[Grizzexploder]

Didn't Sakurai say around E3 something akin to how hard getting the rights was for the content in Ultimate?

yeah, he also said that ultimate was the only time he could get every character to be in the same game
so if we were to have a next game after ultimate, there will be cuts

So...how old would be?

 

[Knight Dude]

15 looks about right to me.

The Smash 4 redesign is the real culprit, he's basically Sakurai's OC now.

Nah, he just started to hit the Gym, if his swole arms are anything to go by.

 

[Deleted member]

So, how are people feeling about a VGA announcement? For me personally, I'm leaning towards a no show for Smash. I personally think E3 or around then is where we'll hear about our first DLC challenger.

Probably yes. is also down there, he's like three (actually that explains a lot about his emotional maturity).

For oldest character... ? or ? ?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Probably the same gym that Radiant Dawn Ike went to

 

[kirbsmash]

Wario's Mario's age, Think about that for a bit.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

The guy had to twist some arms, after all. In SE's case it must have practically have been a full-on puroresu match.

Wario's Mario's age, Think about that for a bit.

The guy always had his garlic nose, even as a kid.

Or he could be a very old Pichu that just doesn't want to evolve.

 

[Grizzexploder]

he is a boy
therefore he is only 10 years old

 

[PvtPepperoni]

What do yall think about King Boo possibly being a DLC character?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Idk how to say this but he and Soren are already dating

I mean you don't think I didn't already know this? There's a reason I picked le gay one. ~~~

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I'm 50/50 on it to be honest,
If not there, then probably an announcement before February, as we don't know when is actually set to release

 

[osby]

Apparently you don't know threesomes are a thing. It's just a joke, I'll return to topic right now

Or he could be a very old Pichu that just doesn't want to evolve.

That's actually kinda disturbing to think about.

 

[Chandeelure]

What do yall think about King Boo possibly being a DLC character?

Sounds unlikely, but I would love it.

When is the next E3, anyway?

What do yall think about King Boo possibly being a DLC character?

Cautiously optimistic. Luigi's Mansion 3 is right around the corner, so it'd be a good opportunity.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Wario's Mario's age, Think about that for a bit.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario, DK and Bowser are all pretty much the same age in Yoshi’s Island DS. Now there’s a bit more to think about.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Or he could be a very old Pichu that just doesn't want to evolve.

Goddamn how unhappy must the little guy be?

I mean you don't think I didn't already know this? There's a reason I picked le gay one. ~~~

I mean, Corrin is bi and has no canon partner so idk



Inb4 I cause a ****storm with these facts again

 

[Knight Dude]

View attachment 177249

Yes it could.

Mario and Luigi without the Mustaches makes me more angry than spooked. Don't ruin a good thing man.

If Rash does get in, I hope they make a reference to KI in his trailer.

THESE CAMEOS ARE KILLIN' ME!

Then he drives into oblivion.

 

[Grizzexploder]

What do yall think about King Boo possibly being a DLC character?

the plant was enough for me imo

i might be willing to accept it if his moveset is good

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I don't think he's likely to be honest...

This is why you don't do drugs, kids...

 

[Deleted member]

This is why I doubt the theories going around that every fighter in the season pass is 3rd party. Those deals aren't easy to work out, and we already have quite a lot of 3rd party content. I personally just don't feel we'll get that much more.

 

[ClaTheBae]

So does that mean when you beat up Pichu, you're punching a baby?

I sure hope so

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario, DK and Bowser are all pretty much the same age in Yoshi’s Island DS. Now there’s a bit more to think about.

Nah, Arzest didn't think at all when making that game. Or any others they did, for that matter.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Corrin is just not aesthetically pleasing as a male character what so ever.

 

[Will]

ACHKTUALLY a Pichu only evolves through friendship/love. Therefore, there's probably some lonely middle-aged Pichus out there.

 

[Chandeelure]

This Treecko is probably older than a lot of Sceptiles.

 

[osby]

What, no! You're saying it like this thread makes a big deal whenever someone says gay. I swear I'm shutting up after this

the plant was enough for me imo

We have so many sword-fighters and not a single ghost fighter, unbelievable.

 

[kirbsmash]

Also Pokemon don't really age so....any ideas on oldPichu?

 

[Dannish]

This is so strange, Mario is always like 40-55 in my mind from his old western media "80s/90s" mario stuff where he was some old plumber guy... I'll never shake that and think of him as a 20 something.

Clearly the live action bits take place after Mario has retired from adventuring.

 

[Will]

Don't hate on the dads, now.
