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.

Talk about Smash? What do you think this is, some kind of Ultimate General Thread? This is clearly a social thread.

Anyhoo, let's talk about the original 8: Who is gonna be the first one you play as, given the starting roster? My first few matches will be with Mario, as he's my favorite out of the original 8.
Assuming he's the same beast that he was in 64, :ultpikachu:
Beside's he's always been one of my mains

Mine will be Pikachu because he (or in this case she) was my main in Smash 64

Ditto. I will be playing mostly as him to unlock the others, or until I unlock my favorites.

My most hype moments?

The first Trailer with Inkling.
EVERYONE IS HERE!
K Rool's trailer.
Incineroar's trailer. (especially this one!)

I love Ridley now, but he had to grow on me. The Belmonts do nothing for me. I was excited for Isabelle, but her trailer was kinda boring.

Isabelle got killed by Ridley! My life is complete. Also, what attack was that where she fired that blue laser? That's not part of her final smash

Most hype moment for me was learning that run-cancelling was gonna be a thing.

That was basically all I thought about for the next week.

Playstation All Stars was a missed oppertunity in general.
Yes it was... kind of want to see a reboot with a higher budget and more time and effort put into it... Maybe this time, they could put in some classic characters that they missed in the first game like Crash, Lara Croft, and the Wanderer (Who btw is fully owned by Sony... Why didn't they add him?)...

Maybe rebooted as a 2D fighter. That'd be cool. Just hope the roster is better.

I really like Pikachu too! I'll probably give her (can't resist that Pikachu Libre alt) some solid playtime as well.

Kirby. I wish I could be Ness, but alas.
I also plan on playing some Kirby. I'd play Ness too, but as you've already said, that sadly won't be possible out of the box.

If this happened, I'd be hoping for some of the weirdo characters from the first game to come back, like Fat Princess and Parappa. Game did have some legitimately good ideas, it was just held back by its budget, and Sony not owning half of the true icons of their system.

The moment Ivysaur appeared in "Everyone is Here!" was my most hype moment.

I got the character I voted for in the ballot, so I was ecstatic.

I never played the game, but the idea of only specials can KO still baffles me and makes me want to stay away.
This is a concept that just makes fighting games unfun to deal with. That's great for challenge matches or even fair for a bonus(or regular) boss. But regular gameplay? It just weakens it. Trying to be special just for the sake of it doesn't make it good.

You don't always need some kind of gimmick. Sometimes keeping it simple is fine. And simple doesn't mean "2D, HP Bars only", it means not going overboard with unique mechanics. It's fine to let it be deep too. Things like character customization and custom items aren't bad. That doesn't take it too far, and that kind of stuff can get turned off in competitive play. Or even during Arcade Mode. Which means you have nice balance.

For instance, to defeat Gargos in Killer Instinct Gold, you must use a Ring Out(called Knock Off in this series). This is fine. It's just one boss. It's not the whole game. And it's only in Arcade Mode, not applying to the playable version. Take a hint from this when making a fighting game. Make it fun and balanced, but let it shine with fun and unique mechanics too.

I'll roll with Link. He's the one who clicks with me the most of the original 8 (3 guesses as to why and the first two don't count).

I was gonna be Pikachu anyway because Pokemon owns my soul and I like it's playstyle., but now i've really gotta be Pikachu.
In reference to my stupid Daughter, Star.

Well, Isabelle is pretty high tier from what I hear. Also, I wonder how many people who dislike Isabelle cringed at her winning in that video

Even then, specials being the only way to kill someone could have worked if the game was balanced around that.


Instead PSASBR was an unbalanced mess with several characters spamming specials left and right and others struggling to get level three cause its their only good move.

You Ivysaur fans really stuck it out

I often forget how we saw Squirtle and Ivysaur returning as "not happening"'s as well.

Good on you guys.
You're not the only one.

I voted for Ivysaur thinking to myself, "This is a lost cause".

But I did it anyway, because I wanted it back so bad.

I think we can all agree that the entirety of the Everyone is Here trailer was the best trailer

The Melee CGI trailer was always kino to me.

Melee was home to some of my favorite designs of characters :luigimelee::ganondorfmelee::roymelee::falconmelee::falcomelee::marthmelee:
