Your Reaction If....

[Wario Wario Wario]

Eh...

HWYR if Smash 7 cut all Fire Emblem characters except Marth?

 

[Perkilator]

Eh...

HWYR if Smash 7 cut all Fire Emblem characters except Marth?

Mmm...

HWYR if Ultimate added more content to Games & More? Those being:

Boss Vault (fight any boss you want at your own leisure)
Boss Arena (fight every boss as fast as possible)
Brawl Target Test
Endless Mob Smash
Rival Mob Smash
Omega Mob Smash (fight 20 opponents on Omega Form stages)
Coin Mob Smash (collect as many coins as possible by KO-ing endless amounts of opponents)
Changed All-Star to have you fight each newcomer by Smash game

And lumped it all (except All-Star), along with Home Run Contest, under a "Stadium" submenu?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Other than the Coin and Boss modes, these seem completely unnecessary. Great, more wasted dev time.

HWYR there was a trailer like Terry's for the Sega Saturn, with the characters who miss the invitation being from NiGHTS, Sakura Wars, Clockwork Knight, Astal, and Virtua Fighter 2 - before revealing Bug! as the newcomer?

BOO.

HWYR if Bubsy was initially teased...but then it was revealedbti be Incineroar and Bubsy was an Assist Trophy?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Bittersweet, it'd be nice to have Bubsy in any form really.

HWYR if Bubsy was repped in a similar way to AC in Brawl, having no playable character, but a stage, an AT, enough songs to be classed as its own My Music universe, and two items?

Egh, whatever.

Honestly, I think I'm just about done in this thread.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

HWYR if Mole Mania got a stage?

 

[Mamboo07]

Would be nice.

HWYR if Waluigi got his own reveal trailer and at the end everyone beats him up including Assist Trophies alongside the bosses with Master and Crazy Hands as well Galeem and Dharkon joining in?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

At least he's in!

HWYHR if at the end of the Mr. Sakurai Presents, they said this?:

Spoiler: Reaction thingy

"In Challenger Pack 5 of the first Fighters Pass, we added the character Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This reaction was not received well, and justifiably so. We're deeply sorry and as such have created bonus content to give for completely free for all players who purchased the Fighters Pass before Byleth's reveal."

This song plays as a pink sky is seen, and a polyurethane Squirtle floats up.

"That's right, Poke Floats is returning! and not just that..."

Planet Zebes, Sector Z, Icicle Mountain, Mushroom Kingdom Melee, Mute City Melee, Rumble Falls, Pictochat, Rainbow Road, Pac-Maze, Jungle Hijinx, Pyrosphere, Woolly World, Orbital Gate Assault and Miiverse

"Everywhere is here! We had to make some adjustments to these stages - Ridley will no longer appear as a boss on Pyrosphere, the Ghosts no longer appear on Pac-Maze - though the Power Pellets now give a much bigger stat boost, Jungle Hijinx will not be playable with Stage Morph on, and Miiverse will be heavily moderated - though we will still let some very dank memes fly. Also, these stages aren't the only ones we'll be adding as part of the apology package..."

Meta Crystal, How to Play 64, the Melee Adventure Yoshi battle arena, the Underground Cave Link battle arena, the Subspace clone arena and the stage when fighting Galeem and Dharkon all appear.

"That's right, even stages you previously couldn't play in an official means are now playable! You may have noticed we made some changes to the layouts of Melee's Yoshi and Link arenas to distinguish them from other stages. All these stages will be available for completely free for those who purchased the first fighters' pass before Byleth's reveal, and will be available together for £22.49 some time afterwards. We hope this makes up for the disappointing reveal, and you don't regret your purchase of the Fighters' Pass."

 

[Mamboo07]

Yay more stages!

HWYR if we got these as bosses for Classic/Adventure Mode?

Spoiler: The bosses

• Fatalis (Monster Hunter)
• Dark Gaia (Sonic)
• Titan Dweevil (Pikmin)
• Master Core (Returning with new forms)
• Duon (Returning)
• Rayqauaza (Returning with Mega Evolution)
• Metal Gear REX (Metal Gear)
• Zero 2 (Kirby)
• Phantom Train (Final Fantasy)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Ugh, more wasted dev time

HWYHR if in the middle of a base game direct, they said this?:

Spoiler: Who's this?

"We have two new fighters we would like to reveal. These characters aren't very well known or popular and as such it wouldn't make sense to spend our budget on animating a trailer."

It cuts to a scene of Battlefield, similar to Daisy's trailer, a little girl piloting a drill robot, and a tiny rodent-like character with a scarf and glasses jump onto the platform, it then cuts to a shared splash screen

"Jill & Drill Dozer shift up!"

"Muddy Mole goes manic!"

This song plays as Sakurai explains the characters' inclusion, over gameplay footage of them both

"These characters are not echo fighters, nor are they Assist Trophies. They have had as much work put into them as any newcomer who has a trailer. We hope you enjoy playing as these fighters, and are encouraged to seek out their classic debut titles, Drill Dozer and Mole Mania."

Heck, I'd be happy that Jill and Muddy at least got in the game.

HWYR if a Robot Master such as Air Man or Cut Man was the second Mega Man rep?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

That'd be.... nice >:]

HWYHR if the Stork (from Yoshi's Island) was playable in SSBU's base game?

 

[crazybenjamin]

"But why have Stork over Kamek?"

HWYR if the Stork was an assist trophy instead?

 

[JoZerp]

Lmao, why?

HWYR if Sakurai says "choose an option, erase all projectiles but give them deadly new attacks or keep the game the same way."

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Keep it the same way. BTW, there's another thread for that sort of question https://smashboards.com/threads/the-‘would-you-rather-have-in-smash-’-game-thread.453738/page-96

Here's a pipe dream one: HWYR if instead of the Mario anniversary collection, Nintendo released a (non-limited edition) "Game Boy collection" for all major consoles (Switch, PC, PS4, XB1) with the following games, all in English:

[Perkilator]

All that's good, but no Tomato Adventure? No immediate buy.

HWYR if, instead of Piranha Plant, a miniature Guardian (from Breath of the Wild) was the early purchase bonus? More specifically, something akin to the one on the lower end of this key art for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity?

Eh, whatever. I kinda prefer how Sakurai handled them.

HWYR if Meowth took Jigglypuff's place in Smash 64 onwards, and Jigglypuff was a Poké Ball Summon....until Brawl where the latter is promoted to a full fighter and returns in Ultimate, coexisting along Mewoth?

 

[crazybenjamin]

Need more information, does Meowth have "I'm blasting off again!" for his Star KO scream?

HWYR if you saw the blue and orange Inklings exchange a fist bump in a Smash trailer? (For me, seeing that happen would be just as hype as me getting my MW.)

That’d be pretty cute, NGL.

HWYR if Ho-Oh from Pokémon was a boss in Classic Mode and WoL? My idea is that it would be like this:

Spoiler: Boss: Ho-Oh

What does the boss do?

1. Ancient Power: Indicated by 水 (water), Ho-Oh summons an array of small rocks covered in scalding water, and tosses them down all at once wherever the player is, in a large area (15%, OK knockback)
2. Whirlwind: Indicated by 風 (wind), Ho-Oh fiercely blows away the player to the side opposite to itself.
3. Punishment: Ho-Oh glows in a rainbow-like gleam. However, it is baiting you to see if you attack it. If attacked (indicated by 罰 (punishment)), it counters with a two-wing slash. The power and knockback depend on the power of the previous attack.
4. Extrasensory: Indicated by 奇数 (odd), Ho-Oh fires a ball of psychic energy that homes in on the player, and explodes in a moderate area (13%, OK knockback)
5. Flame Charge: Indicated by 充電 (charge), Ho-Oh dashes to the other side, coated in flames (18%-22%, OK knockback)
6. Fire Blast: Indicated by 爆発 (blast), Ho-Oh shoots a ball of fire out of its mouth. Upon explosion (20%-25%, medium knockback), it forms a 大 shape.
7. Steel Wing: Indicated by 剣 (sword), Ho-Oh speeds forward in the blink of an eye, and slashes the player on the spot, almost like a katana (33%, far knockback)
8. Brave Bird: Indicated by 空 (sky), Ho-Oh sacrifices a small bit of health to charge straight towards the screen (24%, medium knockback). The move is similar to Ridley’s background attack from Brawl.
9. Sunny Day: Indicated by 日 (sun), Ho-Oh sends out a mini-sun when its health falls below half, which slightly boosts the power of its fire-based attacks.
10. Solar Beam: Indicated by 日 (sun), Ho-Oh’s eyes glow as the mini-sun behind it aims a bright light at the player. After a few seconds, a huge ray of sunlight fires wherever the player is (30%, far knockback)
11. Sacred Fire: Indicated by 火事 (fire), Ho-Oh flies into the background and creates a spiral of fire from the center of the arena, just like in Melee and Brawl (43%, far knockback)

Setting/Intro: The top of Bell Tower, where it was fought in its original game. After a feather flutters, Ho-Oh appears from a giant light and appears to the right of the arena.

Defeat: Ho-Oh slowly dissipates into glimmers of light.

Who fights this boss in Classic Mode?

• 
• 
• (team battle w/) (Battle! Lorekeeper Zinnia)
• 
• 
• 
• 
• (Round 6) (Let’s Hit the Climax!)

Music: Battle! Ho-Oh

 

[Spongeboob]

I like it. It gets the Seel of Approval.

HWYR if Smash Bros. got a show akin to The Office?

 

[Mamboo07]

That would be cool to watch.^-^

HWYR if the show Lost Tapes from Animal Planet came back with new episodes and new cryptids?

Spoiler: For those who don't know.

Lost Tapes is an American television series that aired on Animal Planet. Produced by Go Go Luckey Entertainment, the program presents fictional found footage depicting traumatic encounters with creatures cryptozoological, supernatural, mythological or extraterrestrial. Creatures featured include Bigfoot, the chupacabra, vampires, werewolves, and reptilians.

 

[Spongeboob]

Sounds interesting, at least.

HWYR if we skipped a full 12 hours of the space-time continuum?

 

[Perkilator]

Eh, sure?

HWYR if CP7‘s reveal was announced on the 3D All Stars launch day, and revealed the following Monday?

 

[Spongeboob]

I'd suspect it would be a Mario character between that time.

HWYR if Little Mac was top tier?

 

[Perkilator]

I'd suspect it would be a Mario character between that time.

HWYR if Little Mac was top tier?

Pfft, yeah right/s

HWYR if Frank West from Dead Rising was the first newcomer revealed in a special edition of Smash Ultimate?

 

[Deleted member]

I’ve never heard of that person before so I wouldn't really care tbh

HWYR if the next dlc fighter was Goku

HYWR if Coconut Mall from Mario Kart Wii was a stage?

HWYR if we get a direct next week?

 

[Hollywoodrok12]

HWYR if we get a direct next week?

I'm assuming you mean a full-fledged general direct, so I'd brace myself for another one of my least wanteds getting in.

HWYR if the last fighter for Ultimate was Darth Vader?

 

[Perkilator]

Well, **** me.

HWYR if Chun-Li was an Assist Trophy?

 

[crazybenjamin]

Cool!

HWYR if we got "Arcade Mode", similar to Classic Mode, but with a competitive ruleset?

 

[Perkilator]

Cool!

HWYR if we got "Arcade Mode", similar to Classic Mode, but with a competitive ruleset?

Eh, no.

HWYR if Nintendo laid out placeholder dates for Ultimate's DLC fighters? Not the fighters themselves, but some time windows.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

OOOHHH

HWYR if they did the same ARMS trailer thing for a Mario character, with the letter flying past many characters beginning with Waluigi and ending with Geno, and the trailer's beginning ended with Geno opening the invitation to see it was specifically labelled towards Waluigi, so being the valiant hero he is, Geno gives the man in purple his rightful invite - then after gameplay it shows a Geno "ultra-deluxe" Mii costume that has context-sensitive facial expressions?

Yeah, no, I'm bailing out.

HWYR if Cloudtop Cruise from Mario Kart 8 was a stage?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Cool!

HWYR if Fighters Pass 2 was 100% 1st party, and had the following newcomers alongside Min Min:

Ganon (Pig)
Muddy Mole
Kumatora
Isaac
Waluigi

 

[Perkilator]

Eh, at least it‘s not Western 3rd-party bias.

HWYR if the entire DLC cycle of fighters was this:

-Frank West & Piranha Plant (early purchase bonus for Smash Ultimate, made able to separately purchase upon release date)

Vol. 1
-Joker (Pack 1)
-Hero (Pack 2)
-Banjo-Kazooie (Pack 3)
-Euden (Pack 4)
-Terry Bogard (Pack 5)

-Byleth (early purchase bonus for Vol. 2, made able to separately purchase upon release date)

Vol. 2
-Min Min and Echo Fighter Ninjara (Pack 6)
-Sora (Pack 7)
-Crash Bandicoot (Pack 8)
-Scorbunny (Pack 9)
-Sakura Shinguji and Echo Fighter Sakura Amamiya (Pack 10)
-Bandana Dee and bonus fighter King Boo (Pack 11)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

YAY! Crash! I'd still react the same way to Byleth though.

HWYR if they did a non-game-themed fighters' pass 3, with the following 7 newcomers:

Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Velociraptor (Jurassic Park)
Homer (The Simpsons)
Batman (DC comics)
Bugs Bunny (Looney Tunes)
Goku (Dragon Ball Z)
Popeye (Thimble Theatre)

 

[Mamboo07]

That would be pretty cool!

HWYR if we got a Fighters Pass for franchises who haven't gotten new reps for years?
The Fighters
1. Bandana Dee (Kirby)
2. Poochy (Yoshi)
3. Shake King (Wario)
4. Ganon (Blue Pig version, Zelda)
5. Dr. Eggman (Sonic)
6. Psycho Mantis (Metal Gear)
