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.

How does this song, Having a Good Time, fits this Smash commerical video very well?
>Shooting Star moving through the sky + Kirby crash landing on warp star and Arwing flying through the sky
>200 degrees + That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit + Charizard
>Flying at the speed of light + Captain Falcon getting btfo'd by DK
>Defying the laws of gravity + MEWTWO
>passing by like Lady Godiva + Isabelle jogging past and POSE, Peach + Zelda POSE
>there's no stopping me + Pit trying to KO Ridley but he's like "NAH Imma hang on to your weapon sir"
>SUPER SONIC + SONIC
>Having such a good time + Inkling literally doing that
>Having a ball + SMASH LOGO IS A SMASH BALL

it's perfect, I love it, play this at my funeral

Just lemme put this in perspective

We live in a timeline where we must seriously entertain Steve Minecraft, Katalina from a Japan-exclusive mobile game, and potentially a Bethesda rep.

What the **** is happening

As the resident Granblue nut.


Ya'll a buncha horny mother-****ers, lol
We're all just animals when you really get down to it.
That said I've always been neutral on Katalina and what has happened in the past 10 minutes changed nothing.

Katalina seems fine but nothing about her is overly exciting to me. Another fantasy sword wielder is whatever, she'll have an original moveset, and people gravitate towards those characters, but Granblue has more to offer than that in terms of uniqueness. To my very limited knowledge, at least.

Guess this is FE syndrome where the most central character is often deliberately bland neutral...

But I'll buy her simply because she doesn't put me off like some other contenders do, which I guess is the bar for acceptability these days. The fact that she has basically no presence with Nintendo would've bothered me a few years ago but I'm pretty broken by now. :teeth:

Honestly, part of the reason I want Katalina in Smash is so we can get GBF's banger tunes like this

Where is the idea of a Bethesda rep even coming from, Hitagi denied Bethesda being involved.
Not that I trust them mainly because I want DOOMguy but they're what everyone is basing DLC on...

Granblue has SO much more to offer from my brief knowledge of the game but since when has Smash really gone for that, sadly

I looked in Hitagi's comments and did not find a trace of this.

You know, this reminds me of one of my favorite parts of NieR

.
Shh NineS what're ya doing this is like one of the best parts of the game don't spoil it


Also did Hitagi confirm Katalina or something? I'm not seeing anything in his comments and all of you are sudden;y talking about it like it's a certainty or something.

Lemme say this again tho.

If Nintendo puts in Katalina they are ****ing morons. Japan-exclusive. Not the MC of the game she's in. 5 dollar DLC.
Like...I don't think somebody can argue this point.

But hey....Nintendo does what Nintendon't.
Consider the following:
Everything Looks like Granblue is trying to get popular in the west with a western release of Project Re: Link (which will probably come to Switch and is looking like a great game rn) and the Mobile game. So Nintendo and Granblue, knowing that that will happen, will add Katalina (While not the MC, seems like a Mascot of the series (partially cause of her looks) to Smash right when Granblue gets talked about, boosting Granblue’s popularity even higher and making her seem like a logical choice from a, at the moment, popular universe

Honestly I'm 50/50 on Katalina's inclusion.
I love her and Granblue Fantasy, but I'd be really weird for her to come in as paid DLC.
I want Granblue to become more well-known outside Japan, but including her in Smash may do more harm than good.

Thank you for finding this.

The reason I'm bringing up the prospect of a Bethesda rep is due to the tight bond Nintendo and Bethesda have established, and a Bethesda staff member stating a simple "Oh yeah." to if they've talked about Smash with Nintendo.

I think that...even if he's right, Hitagi may not have the whole picture. So there's no point constricting ourselves with the "nopes".

Oh no man it's still stupid as hell lol
I don't think there's any real need to defend it. You can still totally want GBF rep in Smash. But it's undoubtedly a very poor idea, at least for the customers who are gonna buy the product. Primarily Western customers.
