Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Zinith]

Don't apologize for not knowing why you feel odd sometimes, dude. Happens to all of us.

I think it's because I've been a Yoshi advocate here since Day 1, and with this period between the Direct and the launch of Crafted World, I feel that advocacy of mine is being put to the test.

 

[Deleted member]

I wonder what Luigi's role in this game is.

Is he simply a separate aesthetic character with no differences, a simple Player 2 character for co-op, or does he have his signature Luigi physics? Or perhaps all of these?

Regardless, I'm just glad he's in. He was my most wanted addition for a hypothetical Mario Maker sequel/port.

Probably whatever he did in that game.

 

[Deleted member]

Then why did they feel the need to specify that Joker was part of Challenger Pack 1? Legitimate question, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. It seems like an odd detail to include by accident, especially if they end up not making any other pack.

Because each character of the Fighter's Pass is part of a Challenger Pack.
Each Challenger Pack contains a character, a stage, and music.

Challenger Pack 1 is Joker + Persona Stage + Persona Music
Challenger Pack 2 is Fighter #72 + their stage + their series' music
Challenger Pack 3 is Fighter #73 + their stage + their series' music
and so on and so forth until Challenger Pack 5.

Well, why do you think that?

They’re gonna include him, Toad, and Peach and have a new gameplay theme based off Mario 2 USA.

 

[SonicMario]

Tails, with a stage based on Chemical Plant Zone (Sonic 2). The water here is hazardous to every character, and there are several helical tracks for platforms above (like the figure 8 on Pictochat). I don't have many more tracks here, but Chemical Plant Zone and Casino Night Zone (both Sonic 2) are musts for this.

I'd add either version of his Vocal theme from SA1 or SA2 (Though that might be odd considering Sonic never got It Doesn't Matter) or at the very least the instrumental remix from Lost World on top of what you already said

 

[Cutie Gwen]

• And no Erdrick? Hmm... I guess I don't have to give up hope completely.

Hi what the actual **** does this mean? You're raising your hopes because they didn't show off Erdrick yet? In the same Direct where they said "Hey Joker's done **** you we won't show gameplay"? This is like when Corocoro accidentally said 108 and people went "OMG YES THIS CLEARLY MEANA BOC THEORY IS FAKE"

 

[Deleted member]

I still don't get why we didn't get Japan's Mario 2 it's not even that hard.

 

[Zinith]

Well, why do you think that?

Well considering this period is supposed to be when the focus on Yoshi is the strongest and all other first-party titles are in wait, if he gets drowned out by other talks besides the brief moment of hype (LINK'S AWAKENING!!! for instance) then I see that as me failing on my part...

This.

Joker 'is' done. There's no way in hell he's not at the very least in the final stages of bug testing. He releases in TWO MONTHS. I know people will argue "Well, if he's done, why didn't they show anything?"


Because it's painfully obvious we're getting 'some' sort of presentation either next month or in April.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

MANY MANY MANY people would disagree with you. Wholeheartedly and fervently.

 

[Blargg888]

Ah, never mind, it appears that my worries were completely unfounded.

Turns out we already have confirmation that 3D World did NOT replace NSMB, thankfully.

Here:

I'm glad. I was really worried for a sec.

At the very end of the trailer, you can catch a glimpse of a Fire Bro on the top right of the screen. Also, I just noticed that the Space Background portion seems to have Pink Lava. It doesn't appear to be a castle level, so maybe we can add lava to other levels now.

That's because it's new. We've known about Crafted World for a while, while Link's Awakening is still fresh in our minds.

 

[MainJPW]

So when can we expect Builder Luigi alt DLC for Smash Ultimate?

 

[Zinith]

That's why I said "besides"

And that still leaves Three Houses

 

[Noipoi]

We'll probably know in the January Direct.

 

[Idon]

So when can we expect Builder Luigi alt DLC for Smash Ultimate?

When the sun burns out maybe, just maybe, Nintendo will decide to do it.

If that's any consolation, Crafted World looks more interesting to me than Link's Awakening.

Cool crafty mecha.

 

[Deleted member]

After Dr. Luigi shows up as his own character.

 

[Zinith]

Well hold on, I was absolutely floored by Link's Awakening. I never said it didn't deserve its hype...

 

[osby]

Three Houses is weird. On the one hand, world building looks actually interesting and Byleth is cool.

On the other hand, I'm still trying to get used to the school anime thing, character art looks kinda weird and it shouldn't be THAT hard giving female Byleth a proper armor.

That's pretty much the opposite of how things like these are usually structured. In this direct, the primary focus was on SMM2, DQ11, Three Houses, Astral Chain, and the Link's Awakening Remake.

IIRC Yoshi's Crafted World got its time in the main spotlight in one of the previous general directs.

The things people will generally focus on are the things that went most in-depth/had the flashiest showcases, which is why the things I listed are getting the most attention right now, because they were those things.

 

[Noipoi]

Oh dang, I missed the "besides". I can read, I swear it.

Once it's closer to release people will talk about Crafted World more, trust me.

Sorry, 2D Zelda games are not my thing. At least the art direction is gorgeous.

They blew 89% of their budget on Mario's fursuit, don't ask so much of poor Nintendo.

the truth come out: does mario brother is furry?

 

[Deleted member]

Is it bad I tried to complete the Crafted world Demo for 3 hours before giving up [I suck at puzzle games might not buy Crafted World now]

 

[Deleted member]

>they still use NSMBU

The game is probably not finished yet and I'm sure they'll fix it later. If not then Nintendo's high on something but they'll likely fix it before launch.

Really, because I swear Metroid Prime 4 stole its thunder at E3 2017 and the Isabelle reveal trailer was the talk of the town in the September 2018 Direct. I don't think it got a fair shot

Oh dang, I missed the "besides". I can read, I swear it.

Once it's closer to release people will talk about Crafted World more, trust me.

I hope your right, because if it comes out and it's still "Edelgard vs. Claude"

This is like when Corocoro accidentally said 108 and people went "OMG YES THIS CLEARLY MEANA BOC THEORY IS FAKE"

It means that I still have hope that my most wanted may be one of the remaining three. I was under the impression that there were 5 DLC characters: Joker, 'Brave' (who's likely Erdrick), and three as-yet-unknowns. And every fake leak so far that fills in those unknowns is trying to latch onto Erdrick being revealed ASAP, so the later it takes him, the faker they all look.

I really don't know who Erdrick is. I don't own a PS, and I don't really play JRPGs, so Erdrick is a literal who in my mind. Just all the talk about "Brave = Erdrick" makes a lot of sense...and doesn't excite me in the slightest. There are still three slots, so my most wanted still has a chance of those. Not a big one at all. But a chance. And maybe I'll be surprised with someone like the Pokémon Trainer in Brawl - a character I didn't know I wanted until I saw them.

And considering that Joker got a teaser in December, it would have made sense if they had some minor amount of gameplay (as PP did in November for a Feb release)...and a teaser for the second character. They didn't. Mewtwo got teased months before release. As did Joker. It's not completely unexpected - lots of people were expecting a 'Brave' tease.

Or we can just assume that I'm a total idiot and blind fanboy of some character I don't even know so we can all go "LOOOOL LOOK AT THE LOOOOOOZER WHO DIDN'T GET WHAT HE WAAAANTS!!!! LOOOOOL" That works too.

 

[Blargg888]

The NSMB Switch game is NSMBU though. It's just a port of NSMBU. The Switch doesn't have a new 2D Mario yet.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Right after Dr. Luigi...

Mate, that's not what they meant at all.

They meant, "Erdrick not shown today = Edrick not happening".

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Mate, that's not what they meant at all.

Oh, I'm totally convinced it's happening. Just later.

Or maybe Nintendo will surprise all of us. I really don't have a feeling one way or the other. If he's in, great for his fans! If not, sorry, let's see who it is.

 

[osby]

The NSMB Switch game is NSMBU though. It's just a port of NSMBU. The Switch doesn't have a new 2D Mario yet.

It should've been NSMBUD.

I thought you were talking about me and got confused but you mean =/= right?

 

[Shroob]

Also, this brings up an interesting topic.

The potential stage builder, I mean.



We have a blurry screenshot that 'looks' like the WiiU Stage Builder.


And we've always had ONE extra slot on the Stage Select Screen after all 5 DLC characters are accounted for.



I'm really feeling a button on the Stage Select Screen that takes you to your created levels. Not a tab, a button directly part of the Stage Select Screen.
