Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate Thread

[The Greater Atlantic States]

I main Lucina in Smash Bros., and I want Vaati, Isaac, Scizor, and Saki...

I don't know what more to say, other than the few hours I've played of Ultimate were pretty dang fun.

I haven't confirmed it myself, but I've seen in some comment threads that Akira Toriyama's reportedly made comments about how he'd totally be down for getting one of his characters in Smash. After the Joker reveal basically blindsided the entire fucking Internet, it's really anyone's guess who the other DLC characters will be. If you'd asked me before the Joker reveal what I thought the odds were of Goku in Smash, I'd have laughed my ass off and called it impossible. After the Joker reveal however.... while I think it's unlikely, I'm not so sure it's impossible anymore.

As for my character wishlist, Isaac (or one of the other Golden Sun characters... Saturos or Menardi would be pretty cool, IMO), somebody from Chrono Trigger (if not Crono himself because there's already so many swordsmen in the game, maybe Lucca or Magus?), Fierce Deity Link (a girl can dream!), Hades or Magnus from Kid Icarus: Uprising (think of the Palutena's advice quips for those! ), and maybe another Capcom character like Amaterasu or Phoenix Wright (if they could make him somehow work in MvC3, they can make him somehow work in Smash!) And in complete delusional wishful thinking, one of the characters from the Boktai games, preferably Django or Sabata. (I'm also still bitter that Boktai 3 never made it to the US.)

So I tried out the online today and crushed some guys as Ganondorf (my main). It was loads of fun.

I just got an idea

Does anyone know how much GSP is needed to get into elite smash right now? I know it has been rising as the player base has risen too.

[Xmara]

I plan on getting it ASAP.

My main main is Ness, and my other mains include Zelda, ROB, Mii, Pac Man, Mewtwo, and Robin.

Also, how do you all feel about Pirahna Plant? That was just a bizarre choice on Nintendo’s part imo.

Gah, I really hate fighting the AI. It doesn't feel enjoyable or rewarding at all, wins feel cheap and losses feel like there's something fundamental about the game I'm missing. I bought the game mainly just for if I have people round, but unlocking all the characters is driving me somewhat loopy.

Also the opening cutscene to the campaign mode made me really optimistic, thinking it'd be another one like Brawl which I loved, but instead it just feels like an in turn dull or annoying standard fighting game slogfest.

Once I've finally unlocked everyone and had a go at some local multiplayer I'm sure I'll love this game, but right now I have to force myself to play it.

That's rough, buddy. I know me and my older brother (who was visiting from out of state for a couple days) had an absolute blast playing the game together, just like we had played every previous game in the series together (we've both been playing since 64 days). Now that he's gone, I broke down and purchased the accursed Nintendo online just to play with randoms on the internet.

I haven't even touched the campaign yet, so no spoilers, please.

Pirahna Plant, I think, was an interesting choice, but not one I'm really happy about because I feel that there were much better options. Either way, I bet Sakurai will make him into a fun character somehow.

I always played Smash with family and friends as well.

Basically. Mario Kart 8 got a friend through her doctoral thesis. She'd come over to work on it, and we'd take sanity breaks, play like 5 races, cuss one another out over blue shells and banana peels, and then she'd get back to work. Had Smash been available at the time, I'm sure we'd be cussing one another out of smash balls and hammers. Been playing it with my sister, bringing back all the best nostalgia feels. Even when I'm calling her a cheap bitch and she's calling me a cheesy asshole over... well, smash balls and hammers!

MarioKart Wii has a lot of good memories for me too. I used to play that all the time.

If anyone is finding the unlock battles a drag, I've found a solution that seems to work - pick Ganondorf, press the special attack button. That punch of his usually KOs in 2 hits and has a lot of super armour. I've yet to lose to the AI with him.

Naturally. As any Ganondorf main such as myself will tell you, his punch is top notch against any foe.

[Infected Mushroom]

I’m a total filthy casual at this game.

All I do is play Link and get beaten up in dracula’s Castle stage while absolutely EPIC Castlevania music plays !

[Klorgia1]

Why isn't Ridley-Senpai in the poll?

He's too big.

I like Castlevania a lot.

It makes sad though that Alucard/Dracula isn't in the game. THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!

I mean, I don't know... the Belmonts' playstyle doesn't really suit me. I know the whips have range but they feel kind of clunky. I can imagine an Alucard swordsman style of play looks more like a Link play style.

Is Link considered a beginner character?

As far as I know, anyone can be a "beginner character," though Link's iconic status probably makes him a prime choice for most new players.

I actually really love the way the Belmonts play, though I can understand why they are not for everyone. Alucard would be pretty cool as a PC, though he would probably have to be portrayed a bit unfaithfully in order to prevent him from being OP (he's already ridiculous as an Assist Trophy). While Dracula would be cool too, I think his inclusion as a boss character is satisfactory for now.

So sad though, they bothered to include so many Pokémon but are so limited with Castlevania

I can totally imagine Alucard having a temporarily shapeshift into flurry of bats as a recovery move and turning into a wolf as a dash attack... he could probably fire balls and have sword slashing moves that have cool effects like Cloud

Also... why no Sephiroth?

[Guardians of the Holy Bowling Alley]

Also... why no Sephiroth?

From what I understand, Square Enix has been rather protective of their franchises of late and (supposedly) charged Nintendo an exorbitant amount of money to include Cloud, a single stage, and 2 pieces of music in the game. In short, he probably cost a tad too much.

Damn

Is that why there’s no One Winged Angel theme?

Gaming companies don't like free advertising. Everybody drink.

(Although, it's ironic that Nintendo is the one getting screwed over now. )
