[Jondolio]

So...
How do you guys feel about the end of the world coming up?

 

[Zinith]

I don't do farewell posts. Also I'm not going anywhere

 

[Wademan94]

It might take me a while but I promise to make a thank you post as well.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I'm not going anywhere either

Probably not anyway idk I'm not that active anymore anyway lol

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I'll still be here (I think), but I suspect a non insignificant number of people will be leaving after the last fighter drops, so to those people, it's been nice conversing with you throughout the Ultimate Hype cycle, especially during the pandemic when a lot of my real life social life got cut off, and I can't wait to view the finale with you tomorrow one last time.

 

[duxx]

can't wait for jonesy fortnite being added in 12 hours

 

[TheCJBrine]

guys I totally know who the last Smash fighter totally is.

Spoiler: totally legit leak (totally not a joke (totally))

NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A [BIG SHOT]

 

[TheMightyP]

Smash ending?

I just want to say:

Spoiler: Long and sappy

The rumors are true, I was with your mom yesterday.

 

[Shroob]

I have no intention of leaving.


You're all my friends.



I have no where else to go where I feel as welcome as I do here.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I may still pop in on occasion

idk about all my other pals tho… I wanna try to keep in touch as much as possible

 

[Noipoi]

I’ll leave once I get a gf.

 

[MooMew64]

I’ll pop back in for just a sec to say I have no intention of leaving atm.

Can’t get rid of me that easily.

 

[TheCJBrine]

okay so.

I don't know what to say for a goodbye post or anything.

You're all pretty cool, and I'll likely still be around for a while. If I leave, I may also still come back to share stuff I make y'all may like. I don't actually intend on leaving at least for sometime, however.

If you're leaving, I hope you all have good times and an awesome life!

 

[KillerCage]

I think I'll be sticking around here even when Ultimate ends.

SO I CAN POST STUPID STUFF LIKE THIS!!

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Before I hit the hay, I leave you all with this gift.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Yeah. It did take long to actually write that out. Did have Laid Back Camp's, Anohana's and Non Non Biyori's Soundtrack to help.

I only had one shot to write it out but I'm happy I said what I needed to. We will be fine until Halloween as and from what I can guess about five common members will be leaving or reducing the presence a lot. I'm gonna be here like usual but once my training and driving lessons start I won't be around as much.

So expect me to ask some later on. I just don't want this to be the only lane to talk to some of you guys. And doubly so to the creators as well.

So yeah. Graduation day fourmers!

Also SneakyLink and Zinith forgot to tag you two in it. Both of you are awesome as well.

That is me off to bed. It's been great. That morning special Cortado is calling my name.

 

[Noipoi]

12 hours, bros.

12 hours and it’s over.

 

[Wario Bros.]

We are now officially at the 12 hour mark, folks!

Master Chief's VA seems to say he's not happening

Does he voice Gex?

No?

Then we’re good.

 

[BlondeLombax]

So...
How do you guys feel about the end of the world coming up?

I feel butterflies in my gut already.

Or maybe that's the salad I had for dinner?

 

[Noipoi]

So...
How do you guys feel about the end of the world coming up?

I feel fine.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

End of an era coming tomorrow.

I always thought his "chances" were blown WAY out of proportion in Smash speculation.

Hello everyone! Or should I say howdy? Either way, welcome to the Noipoi Art Gallery! Where I’ll be waking you through the art I’ve done for this weird ass website ever since I signed up here three years ago!

Play this for added effect

With the tags out of the way, let’s begin shall we?

Spoiler

First off, the countdown

When ultimate was twelve days out from release, I did a series of images featuring each of the original 12 fighters interacting with my character.

Not all of these are winners, but I still had fun with them. Especially the Yoshi one, I’m really proud of how it came out. In hindsight, I probably could’ve done something like this with every dlc character leading up to tomorrow…aw well.

Next up, roster predictions:

View attachment 333069
This was made in late august 2018. Only two were correct, and Isabelle isn’t an echo. So more like one and a half lmao

View attachment 333070
This was done in December 2018. My predictions were Erdrick, an Xbox character, Crash, and some form of Undertale content. The only one I got wrong was Crash. So far…

View attachment 333072
This was made for the Incineroar thread, to celebrate his inclusion! Good times…

This concludes part 1! Part 2 will be held shortly, so please look forward to it!

Wonderful art compilation, Noi! :D Honestly I look forward to seeing more even after the reveal of whoever character that gets added!

A'ight, you squares, the group picture is complete!

Oh dear, I hope I did not go too far with tagging quite a plethora of you. Gotta be sure this is seen in case the thread's activity speeds up, or heaven forbid, be closed after the presentation.

Now, this is not your average group picture. I took all y'all's pfps, took a template of Ultimate's CSS, and put y'all, as well as myself, on the roster. I see some of y'all changed pfps on me while I was away working on it for several days.

Everyone Is Here! ...well, at least everyone in the Social Thread Family.

I started at page 1961 ('cause that is the year I was born, lulz) and worked my way up to the current page. Besides, I had plenty of spare time to kill reading some amusing posts. Other than that, I just blazed through nearly a thousand pages to find everyone. I was surprised to of counted about 150 of y'all from that page to the current one, so some cuts had to be made. Sorry, but...

Next, you guys were ordered by the date you joined this site, similar to how the Smash Fighters appear in Ultimate's roster.

Finally, the hard part...posting this at just the right time. Putting this up on the big day, I probably would of been too late, so...here it is just before the evening starts!

I made this as a memento of our times together. Sometimes we do speculation talk, we share cool content, we make each other laugh, we console others through their hardships, trials, tribulations, etc. After the Sakurai Presents, a good number of y'all will be leaving us. I will miss y'all; consider joining us back here for the Holidays and/or New Years.

Now, go to sleep and and enjoy tomorrow's presentation, will ya?

Means a whole lot to me being added to this even though I am not here as regularly as I used to for one reason or another. Thank you so much for this! It's amazing!

hey Shroob and Wademan94

remember the Gura pic I promised

Spoiler

full res

Noipoi Guh-Huzzah! Dutch Raikuna TheMightyP @Ramen Tenghostku @Pokelego999 AndreaAC @Lamperouge

This took I think almost a week and a half lol

I regret nothing

I'll probably add more detail to her later, but a family member asked for a drawing and I feel bad about putting it off for this, so here it is 97% done, lol

:D I don't know who this is but the drawing is great! Keep up the great work!

I have been suffering quite the headache today so, this helped me to cheer up my day!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

What time is the presentation anyway? 10am?

 

[Noipoi]

What time is the presentation anyway? 10am?

10 am EST, yup.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I can’t wait to not see Sakurai in person on Nintendo videos for the next however amount of years

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I'll be going to bed early so I can wake up earlier to catch the presentation live, so just in case I'm too tired tomorrow to come here before the character is revealed, it's been a pleasure riding the hype train with you all throughout the Ultimate Hype cycle, and I can't wait to watch the grand finale with all of you tomorrow.

That's not Master Chief's VA. This guy is.

 

[TheMightyP]

I look forward to seeing the destruction of all the speculation threads in real time

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Welcome to the final part of the Noipoi Art Gallery!

I imagine this is the one most of you were looking forward to, because this is the one with the crossover posters!

Let’s end this with a bang, shall we?

Spoiler

The posters started as a joke. During the grinch leak, many users said it felt like an anime arc. Someone suggested we make a poster, and you know me. I had to, I just had to.

View attachment 333089

This one was made in October 2018, and features several users you really don’t see around anymore!
Not to mention people look different, based on the avatars they had at the time. The art’s kinda sloppy, but It’s still a fun piece of social thread history.

Sorry for the poor resolution, but the second poster was so tall I had to split the up! As you can see, after many complaints from users who didn’t appear in the first one, I went above and beyond trying to include as many users as I could. Making this poster obnoxiously tall. I remember staying up until six am trying to finish this, my computer bugging out because it was too damn big. Don’t think I’d like to try this again, but it was fun I won’t lie! The reactions were great too, for a good two weeks it seemed everybody had an avatar taken from this image.

View attachment 333096

The third poster. Made in September 2019! Not as huge as the second one, obviously. Honestly…I think this one is my least favorite? I dunno, my art was going through a phase at the time. I’m just not a huge fan of how it turned out. But hey, I’m glad it made others happy!

View attachment 333097
You remember this one, don’t you? This is a little different from the others, as this is directly connected to the 70 page comic extravaganza I made, THE HEIST starring your guys! Of course, you know all about The Heist, you seemed to really enjoy it. And as weird as it sounds, I kinda priced to myself that I could make a comic? I always sorta doubted my ability. I dunno, anyway. It was a pleasure making this comic for you all!

And that’s that! I hope you’ve enjoyed this walk down memory lane, and I hope you enjoy the rest of today! After all, it’s the final day of smash ultimate speculation! Crazy, isn’t it? I hope tomorrow is rad!

Anyway, thanks for reading everybody! And thanks for liking my goody doodles for three whole years!

Don’t forget your grace also drew this

Speaking of Noipoi 's drawings ...

I'm pretty sure there's another one nearby, but I just can't think of it.

At least I can take solace in knowing that it's probably about something unimportant.

 

[Wademan94]

I look forward to seeing the destruction of all the speculation threads in real time

So much for my Cynthia thread…

 

[TMNTSSB4]

y’all should have multiple strangers ask me questions in the AMA stuff…you’d totally not regret getting honest answers from me

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Even if for whatever reason it loads up available to play on my switch early for some reason because of some glitch. I will not play Nick Brawl till the 8th. The official release date. And wait to form my opinions of its gameplay till after any day 1 patches it may have. There is way to much care and love obviously pumped into this thing for any naysayers to dampen my hype. Even you Osby.

 

[Aurane]

There's a completely different timeline where Ralsei ****ing kills everyone and nobody is understanding how incredibly-- OKAY **** THE ****POST THIS MOD IS AWESOME!
