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.

Looks like you can change the training mode music.

Button looks a bit different though, so it could just let you cycle through some music rather than actually change the music all the time.
Besides that the random button will VERY LIKELY be taken up by the menu music.

The kid really doesn't like Waluigi that much, he plays with him but not as much as the other characters, that's why he is only an assist character.
The kid that plays with the toys doesn't like that much the characters that are just assist trophies.
Then the kid would dislike these things:
-Waluigi
-Golden Sun
-Indie games
-Custom Robot
-Murasame Castle
-Advance Wars
-Monster Hunter
-etc...

New headcanon, they're the kid's older sibling's pristine mint condition action figures so he has to quickly play with them and then return them asap so his sibling doesn't find out he's been taking them out of the box

Idk if this has been posted yet, but here's footage of squad strike by two pretty good players in tournament settings, tbh, I wish every ultimate tournament use this mode, it would make matches a lot more interesting than just having the same characters all the match cause that would add a deeper strategy and ability component to them without making them unfair

Y'know, that would make sense, especially with Isaac, Ray, and Takamaru.

yeah, they're all older characters so mint-condition figures of them would be rare and expensive, hence the older sibling keeping them in the box to preserve them. If a character gets promoted a la Little Mac/Damus then its the sibling being nice and allowing the kid to play with them fully

You know what?
I completely agree.

It would be more interesting that way, and i wish that they consider it as soon as possible.

Isabelle is the exception here, her being a very new character. What do you suppose was the situation with her toy?

one can only hope they all just start trying to make things a bit more interesting for once, I mean, this isn't even that big of a change in general lol

Btw here are a couple more videos

I don't give a damn about competitive Smash. It just seems to talk out all of the fun if you ask me.

For newer characters, the sibling probably just collects them and lets the kid play with them after a while. The sibling had Isabelle for 5 years, and the kid probably got into AC at some point during that time. Let the kid play with it!

I want to live in a world where Takamaru and Saki have good action figures.

Hmm, yeah!
Although, there's some other exceptions, though these ones are more like the reverse. :ultsimon::ultrichter::ultkrool: (not including :ultridley: cuz he was a boss twice) are all older characters that would be highly collectible. Why are they suddenly playable after not being part of the battle at all?

For a moment, I thought this was our DLC leaks, I would be so upset lol

Geno, Rayman, and Banjo deserve to be in smash!
Though those three are popular names amongst the Smash community, I wouldn't say they "deserve" to be in Smash. I don't think any character "deserves" to be in, because saying they do is like saying they're more important than other characters. I think all videogame characters are equal and no one character "deserves" a spot over another. I get why you say they "deserve" it, since they've been highly requested characters for a long time, but who's to say that they "deserve" it more than characters like Steve or Sephiroth or Yuri? All I'm saying is that saying one character "deserves" it more than another is entirely subjective and kind of biased. Not that there's anything wrong with wanting these characters, it's just kind of cliché to say a character "deserves" to get in. I hope this doesn't seem rude, I'm simply giving my opinion on the whole "deserves" thing

I'm guessing you got tired of making more theories? :laugh:
yeah lol

idk this is a world where Takamaru has a good action figure, maybe they made new figures of these older characters and distributed them? Like the Castlevania anime is happening so Konami released new figs for them and the kid bought them.

Smash Ultimate. Is Coming. IN 3 DAYS.
OH MY GOD. Is it too good to be true?!?!
Also, this is a bit off topic, but...

WHAT THE ****?
I wonder what it entails. I suppose it shouldnt affect me since I dont even have an account.

This is a blessing for those of us that have many mains. I can wait to try it out.

About the competitive scene, I would love to see it but considering we couldnt even get 20 legal stages out of a 103, I dont think it will happen.

What if...
The older characters like :ultsimon::ultrichter::ultkrool: are gifts from the older brother (from eBay I guess), after the younger brother got interested in those series/characters. Also, returning veterans like :ultpokemontrainer::ultsnake::ultpichu: were lost in the couch cushions.

Alucard alone would make it worth it for me. Lloyd and kawashima are cool too.
Like I'm not gonna lie, my dreams are doing a pretty cool job.

-An iconic GameCube RPG protagonist with a fun playstyle
-A super strange pick that could be really entertaining and unusual
-My favorite Castlevania character

Not bad!

I've already tried pushing the idea of having squad strike be standard if you can use the same character 3 times, and the fact that it's different is enough for the community to ignore it, this isn't even kee-jerk, the response I got the most was "why change it if we don't need to".

I mean. They are your dreams. Why wouldn’t they be doing a good job at pleasing you.

So let me see if I got this right. The absolute likely characters we have got so far are:
  • A Square Enix character, most likely either Sephiroth or a Dragon Quest character
  • Steve
  • Lloyd or Yuri from Tales of
  • Some Nintendo sword character
I don't think any leakers have mentioned some Nintendo sword character, but correct me if I'm wrong

My main hope for DLC is that we get mostly new series. Variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to game IPs in Smash--new songs and stages based on non-repped series are very appealing to me.

Even though we already have a lot of anime-style swordsmen, I'd be pretty happy with a Tales rep. It's a strong franchise that's been around for decades.

I think I’ve said this before, but ever since the March direct I’ve consistently had like, 5 dreams about Duke Nukem getting into smash, even before E3. Maybe it’s a sign.
