I've been focused on just riding the hype train of Ultimate to launch recently after we got our final look during the November Direct and it's occurred to me just how many little things I didn't realize were cool for me to see and I didn't expect/know I'd actually love, like:
-Pichu returning and actually being decent. I suppose I just fell in love with how adorable he looks again
-Young Link coming back despite us already having two versions of Link prior
-Rainbow Cruise returning as a stage, never loved it in Melee but I'm particularly fond of it in HD
-Ike having both his Brawl and Smash 4 forms which is a level of detail I just never would have considered
-Ken actually looks like an interesting take on Ryu and the most developed Echo
-The stylized version of the World of Light map. No idea how it plays, but I do love the little overworld from what we've seen.
-Yarn Yoshi alt, which I just kind of didn't expect (Though RIP Black Yoshi)
-Fatal Frame assist trophy, never expected anything Fatal Frame in the game and I love the effect
-Sudden Death changed to the screen zooming in. Such a good and more fair way to deal with it, though I'll miss the bombs for fun in the random sense.
-A Link Between Worlds Zelda actually looks pretty cool despite how much I had hoped for a BOTW verison
-Incineroar was at least given some unique mechanics, and the ring move in particular endears him to me more than I thought would be possible beforehand.
-Piranha Plant in general I'm sure will be one for most people it seems.
All of that and so much more. What were you surprised by in Ultimate that you didn't know you'd want, maybe even thought you'd actively dislike, or are just surprised by in Ultimate?
