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

[Noipoi]

Alright guys, I gotta ask y'all a question.

I just found out that my college actually hosts a bi-annual regional tourney outside of weeklies (which I never bothered to do).

And obviously, this is the 1st one for Ultimate.

If the turn out is as big as the Melee tourney usually is (which is around 70-ish people), then there can be some decent competition.

Should I go for it?

I'm going to pretend I never saw this post.

What post?

Anyways, here's some cute:

A stage isn't even close to comparable to a character, even a damn echo is more preferable.

You're going to be picking that specific stage only a small amount of time, and that stage is probably going to have a layout that you don't like unless you just filter it into Battlefield/Omega where it may as well be the same as any other stage.
Meanwhile look at a character which has an entire moveset, taunts, victory animations, voicelines, several skins, actual fan followings, and the ability to play them whenever someone pleases, and it's not even close.

But sure, I guess if you get a stage, you're represented, which means you're better off than most franchises on the planet.

obligatory subjective opinion notice.

If we’re only getting Triforce wielders as fighters, I’ll gladly take this Ganon too:

The boss fights with this version have a lot of moveset potential.

Beast Ganon would legit be dope if handled well. A Super Heavy character with a long range weapon like that could be fun.

If Ike is kind of like Seigfried(normal dude with two-handed sword), then Beast Ganon could be more comparable to Astaroth(big dude with a long range weapon), albeit with more pokes than command grabs.

If you're interested, then go for it. Don't join it to win, join it for the experience. Playing Smash with people in person is just so much more fun then doing it online.

I should clear my schedule for my local weeklies at some point.

 

[Idon]

Well, I guess since everyone has lefty arena is closing down good games Shiny and Idon, I sure had fun exploiting tether recoveries learning the PT / Joker match up.

Tethers make me CRY, and so does actually getting Arsene.
****ing "Have a safe flight" my ass, that is the most 2-frameable recovery I've ever seen.

 

[Noipoi]

Alright, i'm going to sleep.

I've got something kinda important to say before that though. It's pretty long, so I put it in spoilers.

I think in most instances, people would obviously prefer a character. Though having your series represented by a stage might be a bit better than say, an Assist Trophy. If only because that'd mean some decent music to go along with it, unless said game has trash music, then all hope is lost. Though others might just prefer seeing said character fight alongside others for just a bit.

The burden of proof falls on you for making such a claim.

I don't see why not if you aren't busy then I say you should go for it and I totally believe you have what it takes to win.

Your Ultimate Skills are seriously impressive and I would even say you're one of if not the best person I've played against, You can do it and I say go for it!

 

[ZephyrZ]

Zelda is in that weird spot where it has a ton of popular characters, but not a single absolute "must have". It's not like Metroid or DK where pre Riddle/Krool we could go "where's this specific very important character?"

It doesn't help how much the clone situation complicates things either. Even if it'd ve appreciated, I don't think people would really be satisfied just by an Impa echo alone.

 

[Knight Dude]

Since someone mentioned the Mario Kart Mobile game, I remember some rumors recently about a Mega Man X mobile game of some kind. Would rather have MMX9, but we got MM11 not too long ago. They should properly space out their main Mega Man products anyhow. Last thing we need is another 7-year Hiatus OR spamming multiple releases to the point of apathy or players being unable to keep up, especially with a lack of advertisement outside of the internet.

A smaller project here or there is fine by me.But there's always gonna be people who'll never be pleased.

I don't play them myself, but others might be interested.

: Am I a joke to you?

Fair point. I guess it's because DDD's kind of "floaty" is why I forgot him. He's more unique in that sense.

I should probably be leaving myself.

One last thing before I go though:

Spoiler

 

[Louisacommie]

Zelda is big enouph to get multiple unique newcomers at the same time

Pokemon got 4 in brawl

and Zelda is apart of the big 3 with Mario and pokemon

 

[Idon]

botw sold over 10 millions

launched with the switch

Well, while that's not untrue, if we were to base representation off of deserved-ness...

It'd just be all Pokemon.

 

[osby]

I agree and it got. In Melee.

 

[Louisacommie]

Well,, while that's not untrue, if we were to base representation off of deserved-ness...

It'd just be all Pokemon.

I'd be 100 percent ok if smash bros cut all the failed series

and it only had reps from mario and the extended Mario universe, pokemon, zelda, animal crossing, and splatoon, and fire emblem becuase the mobile game.

 

[Louisacommie]

AHHH ENDGAME SPOIELRS SPOTTED ON THE THREAD I'M EHADED OUT UNTIL SATURDAY LOVE Y'ALL

 

[Idon]

I just got spoiled for Avengers: Endgame where

Spoiler: Endgame Spoilers

Spoiler: Seriously don't click if you want to watch Endgame

Spoiler: Last Chance

Tony Stark Dies.

Why do people like spoiling things? Those people are awful.

Because they live off knowing people suffer from what they do.
It's fun to them.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Before I go, here is a cool stage I found.

: Colonel, we became a stage! What do we do now?

 

[Deleted member]

It's fun to them.

Those people are absolute jerks, I was looking forward to not being spoiled but nope the internet must spoil things.

 

[osby]

Man, I just got spoiled. It sucks, what should I do?

Better post it on a forum.

 

[Shroob]

Really, if you're online during a build up to something big, and you KNOW spoilers exist, you really only have yourself to blame for being around social-ish sites.

This is why I almost always stick to Youtube as my main 'daily' site and nothing else, while 100% ignoring the comments.

 

[Coricus]

I just want to know if Zelda discourse is popular among the wider smash fanbase

and I am not brave enouph to venture to gamefaqs

My knowledge of GameFAQs is a few years out of date, but the last time I checked

Yes it is a thing there. They tend to have phases where they literally only support 1-2 characters and actively shout down anyone that supports anyone else though so it's not 100% of the time, but when speculation isn't stagnant I remember it coming up decently often alongside everything else.

 

[Knight Dude]

Zelda is in that weird spot where it has a ton of popular characters, but not a single absolute "must have". It's not like Metroid or DK where pre Riddle/Krool we could go "where's this specific very important character?"

It doesn't help how much the clone situation complicates things either. Even if it'd ve appreciated, I don't think people would really be satisfied just by an Impa echo alone.

That's sort of the consequence of very few returning characters in the context of a multi-series crossover. It's easy to say, "Wow, Mario could have Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Wario, Rosalina...ect ect." "Sonic could have Tails, Knuckles, Eggman ect ect." Or "I want Mega Man EXE and Zero...**** YOU!! The GBA was Great System!! It Had good games!! Should have called it the SNES 2!" And as you said, Metroid and DK had characters that felt like they were missing, in the case of Ridley, K.Rool and I would say Dark Samus and Dixie as well, with the last one still not playable. Or Kirby with B.Dee being in so many recent titles in some capacity.

If this were like FE or FF, where the main cast is constantly changing, this wouldn't be an issue. The newest protag could be in or something. But Zelda changes a lot of it's characters, while Link, Zelda and Ganon are constants or near constants. It makes the rest of them seem not as worthwhile in this particular context.

Like, there's only 2 people who'd like "Demon Train Chancellor Man" from Spirit Tracks for example, and that's being real generous. At least the likes of Midna, Skull Kid, Impa and to a lesser extent Vaati have had solid and consistent support. And even then, there's still 2D era Ganon who could be a cool character to people.

Imagine, if you would.

Years from now, I walk into Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon/Disney/whatever studios. "We hear you're pretty good" they say "Got any ideas for a show?" I present them my glorious brain child, and we're ready to go. However before we get started they need to run a quick background check. Everything checks out, they're looking at my crap from the far off year of 2019, but suddenly-

TIDDY

I can't have that, now can I?

This dude doesn't realize that many famous cartoon creators have drawn rule 34 in the past.

Hell, there's a porn stash at Disney made by animators just tucked away in a corner somewhere.

If I accidentally spoiled someone I am sorry that was not my intention I put that behind three layers of spoiler tags I thought that would've been okay I guess not though I should've known better.

Been waiting for that guy for years. Classic/Pig Ganon please stab me with your trident.
