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

I just fought a Dedede who only spammed Gordo and it genuinely hurts my soul because they were at 4.1 mil GSP and as a Dedede main, I know that the character shouldn't be played like that. Instead of going for something like a side tilt or forward air or neutral air up close, he just uses Gordos.

I am still mad we can't take videos in-game with the capture button.
Oh, and it's Mar10 day if anyone forgot.

Does anyone even use Smashdown? I never really hear anything about it, and I guess people are just interested in other things.

I think I've finished 2 so far. They take a long time to complete. I'm guessing why that's why people never usually do it?

Bored so I’ll ask three questions.

1.Who is your personal most wanted?
2.Who is your realistic most wanted?
3.Who is your most wanted to make their fans happy?

1. Pretty much any new Pikmin character. But if I had to chose one, it'd be Louie.
2. Steve, I guess.
3. Banjo.

I've had Tropical Freeze for a few hours and it's already giving me a hernia.

Wait, from what? The fact that everything in the background is doing something? The difficulty? Or something else?

Did you win?

I have a fun little topic in mind so we end this conversation on a high note: Would you all be down for a color-change mode in the future? Like, say you take your Main and choose preselected color slots. You can customize them however you like. If you view this as a problem with people trying to engineer situations where their characters blend in with the background of a specific stage, fear not. Only you can see your own edit online. Whoever the player chooses will appear as that default costume slot, as to not abuse interface screw. Does this sound like a neat option to have, or are there other more appealing ideas worth exploring that haven't been done yet in the franchise?

I mean, lots of fighting games already have character customization built in. Many of them produced by Bandai Namco. It's honestly kind of surprising that Smash hasn't had that yet.

A customization tool like in SFxTK would be fantastic.

Why use an actual strategy, when you can just spam one good move, and still manage to win in the process? /s

"but but its an optimal strategy ur just bad if u cant get around it!!"

 

[osby]

where is it

This is less about Joker and more Megami Tensei in hindsight but: https://smashboards.com/threads/tho...ise-can-now-be-in-smash.479173/#post-23062720

And I'm not talking about multiple other posts in other threads using "anime looking" or "has an anime" arguments for weird Goku fear-mongering.

Whatever works, works. Let the Dedede spam gordo. 4head

I’m going to throw it out there, because I think Cutie Gwen mentioned it earlier in terms of “not knowing what’s likely” for Smash, but I think there are certain things within the community that holds back ideas, or lifts ones up that are given a tad too much credit.

I’ll be honest and say that never in a million years did I expect Joker. It was a relatively niche series in the US that had a real breakout title with Persona 5, which frankly helped it become a bit more mainstream. We saw that with the reveal at the Game Awards, and it’s not surprising that Persona has jumped ahead in people’s minds...Persona 5 WAS nominated for GOTY a few years ago, mind you.

Having played a good handful of different RPGs, few play similarly to Persona. It has a different setup to the game, with your every action having an impact on your skills in battle. It has some “anime” moments, but it fits the style and, for me, adds character to the game itself. While my girlfriend has been thrown for a loop, is annoyed by the repetition of the music, and finds some of the scenarios ridiculous, I think that makes the game charming.

I haven’t finished yet, but i’m just finishing Summer Break.

When it comes to Smash, yes, it’s a hall of fame type roster. There’s no doubt that the characters in the game sort of evoke that idea. I mean, there are groundbreaking series or series that are recognized worldwide, like Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, you’ve got Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, and even Metal Gear.

While I think it’s clear there’s a difference with Bayonetta, there’s no doubt that Persona 5 fits somewhere maybe...in the middle? Something unique to only Persona 5 and Final Fantasy VII is that the crossover with Smash is not with “Persona” or “Final Fantasy” as a series, but the specific games themselves.

I have to wonder which of our “fan rules” or “guidelines” actually apply anymore. The only one I know for sure is that the character “has to do something no one else can do”, which Joker certainly fits. But which characters does this eliminate? That answer isn’t as clear, to me at least.

I personally am only invested in the final 4 characters for Ultimate, unless the next Smash ports Ultimate with an installment of more stages and characters, but I don’t really expect that. As this is the final bit of speculation of my part, and I already assume Dragon Quest is getting Erdrick and/or the Luminary, I can only imagine who our last 3 picks are going to be.

It might be fun to just sit and chat to figure out, at the end of all of it, what guidelines actually applied throughout the years. My guess is, Sakurai is a fan, so if something sounded cool, he made it happen. He’s not so different from us, after allz

Anyway, play Persona 5. It’s a great game.

Ann is best waifu.

I voted for the Marth option.

 

[Idon]

Lucina's fsmash is : "God I wish that were me"

 

[Moydow]

I voted for the Etrian Odyssey reference, because that's how you know a poll was made by me

 

[Opossum]

Lucina's fsmash is : "God I wish that were me"

Bring. Back. Jab into FSmash. Tipper. Kill. Confirms.

 

[Iridium]

Strange poll I see, but tippers it is, then.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, I never had any issues with Lucina's F-Smash, so I say it's pretty fair and balanced.

 

[staindgrey]

Lucina's Fsmash is just a microcosm of Lucina in general: I'm sure it's top tier but I clearly can't use it right.

 

[Will]

lucina f-smash isnt an issue for me

i either super armor with mac f-smash or outrange with ganon f-smash

gg ez git gud

 

[Pyra]

I'm alright with being f-smashed by Lucina

 

[osby]

Same. Fox's up smash, on the other hand...

I'm alright with being f-smashed by Lucina

For some reason, this sounds kinda suggestive.

 

[Wademan94]

What would be a different Final Smash that would suit Lucina if she had it changed?

Easy. F-smash.

nice

 

[?????????????]

Hey, I just finished a new moveset video! I worked really hard on this one, so I'd love to hear what you think.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

What would be a different Final Smash that would suit Lucina if she had it changed?

Exalted Falchion, she does the **** at the end of that one Awakening DLC storyline

 

[LetterO]

inklings are pretty tough because their ink multiplies damage done on me

lucky for me, ganon himself is a damage multiplier as well

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I see what you did, there. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

's down smash hurts.

What would be a different Final Smash that would suit Lucina if she had it changed?

Probably Aether, although I guess someone else would be sharing it.

 

[SneakyLink]

Same with Marth, his tippers hit real hard.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Id laugh if Layton was added and he ended up being the most OP character ever

 

[Just a penguin]

Jesus has cleansed this very thread.

And just like anything that gets cleaned, in a few minutes, it will be just as dirty as it was before.

I was right.

 

[Idon]

What would be a different Final Smash that would suit Lucina if she had it changed?

uhhh...
Summon another Chrom.

 

[Opossum]

What would be a different Final Smash that would suit Lucina if she had it changed?

Either using Chrom's Awakening Aether if they wanted to save resources, or giving her one of her other signature weapons from Heroes, Geirskögul or Thögn. The latter would probably be used, I think, if either, due to the fact that Lucina is closely associated with bows in most spin-off material despite Archer only being a reclass option for her.

 

[Will]

the exalted falchion gimmick is just a ripoff of the master sword not being at full power from wind waker prove me wrong

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Anyone that says Joker wasnt unexpected need to think about what they are saying before they say it. Hopefully no one thinks that anymore

 

[Noipoi]

Wait, from what? The fact that everything in the background is doing something? The difficulty? Or something else?

The game is very difficult.

Anyway, play Persona 5. It’s a great game.

I'd love too.

Just waitin' for that port.

"never saw it coming"
How original and funny I am.

 

[Idon]

I put Joker and Yu around like, 55% with Jack Frost being 60%.
If Atlus were considered, it'd be one of the three.

I'd love too.

Just waitin' for that port.

3 more weeks and you'll find out if it's getting one.
