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

[Opossum]

Reminds me of when I was watching K. Rool's trailer for the first time, thinking there was a real possibility Fredrik would get in over K. Rool, and hoping those big stomps were from a crocodile and not a walrus. Phew...

Personally I never even really considered Fredrik a viable contender after Tropical Freeze actually released.

Before its release, I thought he could be interesting...but quite literally three of his four actual attacks are just things K. Rool did in DKC1. What made Fredrik's boss fight interesting wasn't Fredrik, but how his moves affected his more dynamic boss arena. But Fredrik himself? He just jumped around (like K. Rool), charged at you (like K. Rool), and made ice balls fall from the sky (like K. Rool, but with ice instead of cannonballs). The only thing he did that K. Rool didn't do was launch an ice dragon out of his alphorn as one of his last-ditch moves...but even that's somewhat analogous to K. Rool's various blunderbuss ammunition, in that it's a one-way projectile...just a very large one.

I honestly couldn't see a reality where Lord Fredrik was chosen over King K. Rool. Not only is K. Rool more recurring and more fondly remembered, but he also just has a lot more to work with.

A perfect DLC roster (shoot me).

It’s time to take a shot!

I dream of life without so much FE

It makes original fighters an impossibly

Impossibly, impossibility? This idea would just be insanity.

When I argue, I make the other side panicky.

With my shot!

Makes me wonder why they didn't just use K. Rool and the Kremlings in TF, then.

I honestly think K. Rool would have fit the theme of that game super well. He already has his own ship, just make it viking themed for that game.

A Donkey Kong character that wasn't in the very first DKC game appearing in Smash pysically? Is such thing possible?

It was moreso a passing line about how she doesn’t consider herself a good role model because of her bad temper and outlandish outfit.

I actually liked that bit of dialogue. Seemed very self-aware.

It's as possible as getting meaningful Kirby content that doesn't come from Super Star.

It would be pretty cool, though he is kinda bland, I'd like him though.

 

[Gyrom8]

That scene has a non-sexual interpretation which is probably the intended one.

All I'm saying is that moment may have been pivotal for Young Link in his future life choices

But alright, alright, I'll stop milking the joke ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm not sure either - apparently Retro was told to come up with new enemies or something? All I can say is for the hypothetical DKCR 3, it'd be difficult to justify the Kremlings not being in after Ultimate confirming K Rool's popularity

The main things that would need to change would be:
- Fredrik wouldn't have armor due to, well, not wearing any.
- Alphorn replaces Blunderbuss. Has an ice effect on the ball that freezes, but maybe in return it can't suck in?
- Helipak is replaced with Dedede's Super Jump, a la Chrom v Roy.


The only other thing that would be weird is the Crownerang, because that's weirdly the one move K. Rool had in DKC1 that Fredrik didn't replicate. Nothing's stopping him from throwing the viking helmet though.

Wow, so you were all making tier list and I wasn't mentioned once? Hurts man : (

I did think the ice lads from TRopical Freeze were intersting, but yeah Fredrik himself was kinda zzzz. Even in the first game K Rool was pretty memorable.

I've been playing through the Bowser's Inside Story remake recently and it's a lot easier than I remember it being back on the original. Dream Team was actually a lot harder, in my experience.

Not that that's a bad thing (for me, anyways) but it definitely is interesting. To anyone who may know, did they rebalance things in this remake? 'Cause it really does feel substantially easier than when I had originally played it.

A freezing counter would be sick.

Y'know, when I first login in the morning and I see I've been mentioned 4 times, I expect Resident Evil news.

Anyway what's up fellas.

What did that little **** just say?

 

[Deleted member]

speaking of shantae i actually think that she would be a pretty cool addition to smash
never played a shantae game but she can transform into animals and ****, and would have a cool moveset. it would also be cool to have an indie rep in smash to show how far they've come
also she's cute

[Lollipopped]

So on an off chance I play Story of Season again, who should I marry

1. Raeger
2. Fritz
3. Kamil
4. Klaus
5. Mistal
6. Nadi

Kamil looks suspiciously like Cam from Tale of Two Towns. So go for Kamil.
Also, I need to play Story of Seasons. I just haven't been too keen on the series since it changed its name from Harvest Moon.

An alternate universe where Jill is in Smash is enoug to tag ya for.

No, but you’ve been tiered.

And honestly I placed higher than expected.

Thanks guys.

If Reiko from Rumble Roses got in I'd be excited and then upset.

tbh there's probably a universe out there where jill was revealed and staind was just never seen again because he got so hype

I only got tiered once, but I’m happy I got an S tier.

As someone who's never played a Donkey Kong game before, but has vaguely seen bits from each of the games, the newer Donkey Kong games' villains seem so... bland and uninspired. I mean, King K. Rool and the Kremlings aren't masterclass designs or anything, but they have a sense of creativity and personality lacking from the later games.

I imagine after Ultimate, the next game will have K. Rool back. Apparently Retro Studios wanted to bring him back for the Tropical Freeze port on Switch, but Nintendo said no, because Sakurai had already called dibs. Which was a good call, because tacking him on to a port would've been a much lamer return for the character.

There's an alternate universe where Jill is revealed but Staind goes into a permanent coma the day before it happens.

Okay but do you know who else is cute and can transform into various animals?

i can see why you'd get excited, she has nice round eyes

We’re probably just an example in a more realistic alternate universe on what would happen if Joker got in.
