this is the most tense Smash Ultimate match of all time, neither of us want to stop crouching. We refuse to budge an inch as we are in a contest of superiority. Now this is how you play Dedede dittos
This is EVO 2018 Smash 4 Grand Finals but better

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.

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

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.

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 :yoshi:
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.

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

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.

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

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.

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....

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.




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.

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