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

[Noipoi]

Hey, look at it this way. A certain someone played Animal Crossing: New Leaf before the September Direct and Metroid before E3 2017. Look what happened? Two Metroid games and 2019 Animal Crossing.

Don't give up the faith.

BELIEVE IN THE MEAT

 

[Momotsuki]

At this point I'm totally fine with almost anybody besides stuff like Shrek and Goku. I have my wishes but recognize that they're pipe dreams. I'm just riding this out, seeing how things go. Not getting too invested since it's clear doing so is what poisons good threads.

Piranha Plant has shown that even a planet coated with salt like from The Last Jedi (which caused salt for an extra dose of situational irony) isn’t enough to stop Smash fans from speculating.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I think his popularity is overwhelming, he has way more than a fair share.

Okay, I'm a proud Steve supporter and all, but I can definitely tell you that we aren't quite as plentiful as the supporters of characters like Banjo or Geno

 

[Noipoi]

I grabbed an apple on Green Greens, and the stage morph took me to Guaur Plains. I kept the apple.

I'VE TRANSCENDED DIMENSIONS.

Sakurai commented something about Smash's 20th Anniversary, just waiting for the translation now.

PushDustin posted the translation for us:

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Smash!
Over the years I've seen a lot of intense, exciting and fun matches.
It's been played across houses, in tournaments and even in workplaces.

While developing Smash is quite difficult at times, it's been rewarding. Thank you for playing. https://t.co/kSaD1jdm3A

I mean outside of the speculation scene.

 

[JustCallMeJon]

From the first game, Smash 64,
To the great competitive scene, Melee.
From the most ambitious, Brawl,
To the play on TV and to Go, Smash 4.
​

Sakurai has combined many of these assests into one ULTIMATE package!

Thank YOU Sakurai for making this wonderful franchise, it wouldnt be the same without you!

You gave us the most unexpected,
You gave us the most hyped,
You gave us many of our promises
​

And no matter how difficult and life-threatening you tried to work in Smash,

You never give up!​

Thank you Sakurai for your achievement and...
Happy 20th anniversary!​

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I mean outside of the speculation scene.

Oh, if you mean in terms of gaming as a whole, of course he is.

In fact, with that notoriety, alone, I'd argue that he's one of the very few western third party characters, that even remotely have a chance in Smash

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I wonder

Has anyone figured out what font is used for the Adventure Mode cutscene subtitles yet...? :thinking:

It's for...reasons. Future project reasons...

I love Japanese video game box arts. I don't know why they need to change when they come overseas. I love the japanese 64 and Melee covers.

 

[Wademan94]

Just a thought I had, who would be a better character to represent Dig Dug in a Spirit Battle? Or ?

I've only played two of these, but I love them all either way!

From playing Smash 4 in my living room with my best friend, to playing Ultimate in my room by myself because my best friend moved away, thanks for the memories!

The odd focus on eating in that game makes total sense now

Hmm, I think is more fitting for him...

ok now tag the guy who expected something balls to the walls amazing

 

[Opossum]

Then they need to make a new one where you’re able to vote for anybody regardless of ingame role.

They already made that. It was the 2015 one.

The rules for the ballot never said such a limitation existed. That was a fan-rule that some people clung to. And even then, myself and many others used it for its intended purpose and voted for who we wanted. It's literally why Ridley, Chrom, and Dark Samus got in. People didn't care that they had existing in-game roles, they voted for them anyway.

 

[Knight Dude]

As much of a Dragon Ball fan I am, I wouldn't want Goku in Smash. If I was forced to pick a non-game Third Party character, I'd go for Spider-Man and have like 80% of his moveset come from Marvel vs Capcom. Though that's more so me wanting a real MVC4 that people can get excited about.

Honestly, Grasshopper might as well take the route of pitching to Nintendo to be funded. Right now they're not in the best shape, worse than Square Enix, at the moment. Changing locations, employees and all that, so I really do hope No More Heroes 3 gets funded by the Big N during it's current pre-development.

However, as much as I wish for these characters, too - unless if No More Heroes and Mortal Kombat, even more so, get traction in Japan - I don't see them happening.

Clearly the west needs to take action and impose Mortal Kombat to Japan.

Hmm, I think is more fitting for him...

Yeah, Olimar or Alph would be better choices. Though Mega Man's a good back up. Or they could just use Pac-Man with blue wristbands and call it a day.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Super Smash Bros. will never die, and shall always be Sakurai’s greatest work (don’t kys overworking though Daddy Sakurai)

That much is true, though I don't blame people voting in the short term(in some ways I did, but again, I voted for Ridley and Dark Samus anyway). Of course with additions to the roster, another ballot would still give current thoughts and requests from fans. These things can change in 4 years. Assuming most people did only vote once, and got their Chrom, K.Rool, Ridley, ect. They might have someone else they like and want to support.

this but replace spider-man with amingo

But Amingo IS a game character. He has a real chance.

 

[Deleted member]

You know what the worst part about all this? They really only need to just do some casual marketing and release it and pray to God to be lucky and catch traction.

It's what got Grand Theft Auto V and Last of Us to be blockbusters over there in Japan, so I don't see how releasing any of the games could hurt.

 

[Masked Marshmallow]

It's past midnight here, time to catch some Zs. See ya guys.

 

[Will]

THEN WHY WASN'T HE IN MVC3 AND MVCI HUH?

HUH?!?!?!?!?!!

 

[Knight Dude]

THEN WHY WASN'T HE IN MVC3 AND MVCI HUH?

HUH?!?!?!?!?!!

Because Capcom ****ed up.

I mean how else do you explain re-using Dread Spencer? Or RE5 Jill? Or making Sean low-tier after Second Impact?

Well, I guess there was just fear of them invalidating your pick if you voted for someone who’s already unplayable making it a waste.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So anything announced?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Nope

Sakurai did tweet about Smash's 20th anniversary, though

Well better then nothing at least.

He sure does

 

[Opossum]

Well, I guess there was just fear of them invalidating your pick if you voted for someone who’s already unplayable making it a waste.

But at the same time, why would people assume an in-game appearance ruled characters out when the ballot itself never said that?
To me it seems more wasteful to not vote for who you really wanted because of banking on a false assumption.
