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

[Diem]

I've hit a roadblock with Roy.
People have finally started to punch me back in the face after I hit their shield, meaning no more free damage or hilarious shield breaks into fully charged flare blades.

Uuuuuugh, now I have to actually think about what I'm doiiiiiiing.

It's always tricky when people adapt to your tricks and you either can't use them or have to be very smart about them.

I remember for Smash Wii U, when my family would play, it'd be so much fun getting into a new character and figuring things out and having them not know what to do. But over time they'd learn, and that magic would be gone. Spamming Mega Man's "jab" and having them get stunlocked was fun, until they figured out how to counter it. Learning how the hell Jigglypuff's Rest worked and then surprising them with that was also hilarious. Now I'm lucky if I can come close to winning a game with Jigglypuff.

Surprised they haven't really adapted to my Dark Samus in Ultimate, though. I have to play other characters just to keep things fair. Though apparently one of my brothers has been training with Mario... which may be challenging.

LetterO @ShotoStar

I'm witnessing the greatest match in Smash Ultimate history.

What's the haps

 

[Deleted member]

And I blew up. After this I really respect you my fellow Dedede brethren LetterO

 

[Hinata]

Ooh, how's modding going? Haven't seen or heard much, but if people are talking about giving characters whole new movesets, I guess it can't be that bad.

I'd pitch my Dark Samus moveset I came up with half a year ago (where coincidentally the idea for the Up-B was what Incineroar's turned out to be), but I'm having fun with Samus's moves and it's probably better to stay consistent.

It's comin' along. Ain't much progress yet, but from what I hear, the files in Ultimate are either really similar to Smash 4's, or in some cases, actually easier to work with. So we should be seein' some good mods comin' out pretty soon.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like mods? It always feels super shady and wrong. It’s like doodling on your copy of the Mona Lisa. You just ruined it and destroyed it’s value.

 

[LetterO]

What's the haps

Me and Shoto had a Dedede ditto where we crouched for the entirety of the 10 minute match.

 

[PsySmasher]

DeDeDe ditto.

All they did was crouch....

For 10 minutes straight.

Have fun sleeping tonight

And it was Glorious. It was the best Smash Ultimate match in history.

I mean, you can think that if you want. That's fine, but I wanna know at what point I'm going to be able to Shin Shoryuken Shrek into the sun with Peter Griffin.

Have fun sleeping tonight

Uh, ok, you... too?

Don't see why.

I mean for one, you could theoretically reset it to the way it was before, and you're adding content made by fans for fans with a copy of the game you already paid for. Seems like a win/win for everyone honestly.

Bro i've been to the abyss it ain't even that bad

 

[Deleted member]

That shield break has me confused, What? It wasn't even fully charged and Ganon's shield is massive! Weird.

Shield size doesn't matter really. Ultimately it's still got the same shield health as everyone else.

It's more like putting a temporary sticker on it that you can take off at any time. Mods can be removed whenever.

I'm still not going to risk it though unless I know for certain its safe. I want my clone Zard back but not that much.

 

[Wademan94]

I’ve stared into the abyss...





And it said hi.

Yeah, but...

Hi.

Wrong void.

A Yoshi stomach is a scary place I admit. You're lucky you've never been in one

 

[Mythra]

If you dab into the abyss








The abyss dies

 

[Wademan94]

Yeah, kinda am.

Anyway, I rediscovered this little gem from one of my favorite YouTubers/streamers Tom Fawkes:

And an animated version created by a fan:

I get the feeling I shared this with you before but I don’t remember.

Hey Lois, remember the time I was in Smash?

I think "ruining and destroying its value" is a bit hyperbolic...

Most mods are harmless, and in some cases, necessary. Some janky PC games are almost unplayable without fan-made mods to fix their technical issues, or otherwise improve the game on an objective level.

Some people will mutilate a game with mods to absurd extents, but I typically mod a game to:

1) Improve its graphics, with textures or other mods that usually maintain the base game's art style, just with higher fidelity
2) Fix issues with gameplay and make the game more fun (e.g. improving game balance, altering mechanics to be more rewarding, removing unfair or unfun elements, etc.)
3) Add content to the game that I wish was there, but isn't (e.g. skins in Smash that "add" new characters, guns/armor in Fallout/Skyrim that I love, etc.)

On the subject of Smash, Project M is a great, quality mod that rebalances the gameplay and adds cut Melee characters, and was even going to add some new characters before the higher-ups shut things down so they could make a version of Melee that was otherwise one of the most generic things ever.

I like how you added the trademark symbol.

Didn't wanna get sued by those damn girlscouts.

I had to sell ****ing popcorn door to door when I was a scout. POPCORN. Sexist bull****.

Well it's pretty damn sweet popcorn. I should know, I sold those as a Boy Scout too

 

[Pakky]

I think I might have switch my main, online play and moves JUST NOT COMING THE **** OUT is starting to get to me.

At least I got him to elite twice, one I have actual record of.

I hope they fix him because casuals ruined him

I love him but ****, this hurts.

Are you sure this is ruining or destroying the value of anything?

Doubt it, mods are done completely out of fun and for non-profit.

They can also help fix any notable nitpicks people have with the game and add in whatever they think would be interesting for the game whenever it’s a serious mod like the Fire Mario alt or Peter Griffin as K. Rool.

Mods if anything are an amazing part of the gaming community if.

Unfortunately, since Nintendo is more stingy with modding this around in the Switch, it’s a little more risky.

But you know the old saying: “Want something done? You gotta do it yourself.”

After all, Fans do what Nintendon’t. since we have to put waluigi and shadow ourselves hmph....

 

[Deleted member]

So, @Zack E., just liked a post if mine, thanks dude, from this page in the old Smash Ultimate Speculation Thread.

In hindsight, I'm really glad I defended K. Rool at this point. Really was a sweet victory looking back at some of these posts.

It's why, no matter if they are likely or unlikely, I'll never give up on my wants lol

And thank you btw

I mean, I wouldn't use online as the basis to determine who your main is. Sure, some characters are frustrating to use in online because of how lag disproportionately affects them compared to other characters, but that doesn't change how they function everywhere else in the game.

Chances are online is going to get overhauled in 3.0 or some later patch, anyways, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Yeah, I'm just frustrated. I think I need to sleep and cool off, thanks.

This will be pretty helpful for me, I’ve taken a break from those Sonic fighting game ideas i had over in the Light House, but I’m starting to get a bit more inspired looking at these ideas for Sonic’s moves.

I corrected the part about Sonic’s “Long Wind Jump” it’s in Advance 2&3 not 1&2.

Also the Bound Jump Dair.

Spoiler

Having him bounce on hit and spike, with the slo-mo effect? Yooo.

Also, it’s in Battle too.

It’s called “Sonic Meteor” here but it’s literally the same thing, come on.

This is the key to a good Sonic moveset, one that encompasses a range of moves that references appearances between multiple games both Classic and Modern alike.

I used to be super skinny, but now I believe I can be classified as slim thicc.

Okay but hear me out here, what if we just made 80% of his moves turning into a spinny ball instead?

Let’s. ****ing. Go.

 

[Dee Dude]

Project M and SSF2 both give and better movesets then the dev team.

No disrespect but I’m being brutally honest here.

They can’t seem to think of Sonic other then the Classic games hence the spring, and two spin dashes while the Homing Attack is the only modern move he uses and meanwhile so potential move from other games such the Axe Kick, Light Speed Dash, Sonic Tornado, Bounce, Ring Toss, etc all get neglected.

Don’t even get me started on the Wario Land hatred, so they bring back the Shoulder Bash and call it a day? Big whoop.
