Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Nice character additions, I think. Both highly request characters. I think all that's left is the Choir Boys to make that old smash 4 "leak" accurate, right?

King K Rool looks like he’ll be awesome to play!

Now if only Monster Hunter had its own set of assist characters...would've been awesome. Ah well. lol

Don't tease me. =(

At this point it's sadly not even suspicious that his AT hasn't shown up, because it was removed for SSB4, and was unlockable in Brawl.

I was still hoping for Palico as a playable character, oh wellz. lol

103 stages, god knows how many fighters, K. Rool, Chrom, Dark Samus, so much Castlevania love, a Monster Hunter stage, Shovel Knight, THE MOON ITSELF, and the one part of Smash Tour people liked!

As much as I loved that Direct, it's kind of a shame that Sakurai seems to be adding only "highly requested" characters. None of the 5 characters revealed got me ultrahyped, even with K Rool's funny reveal trailer (oh man). So far, the only newcomer that has me excited is Inkling. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely going to try out all newcomers but it would be nice if we got more unusual characters instead. To me, those would be more fun to try out than the internet's "popular-by-demand" choices.

_{Also more and more it seems likely that Professor Layton won't be getting in this time, would he? Oh well.}

OK, now to go back and rewatch the entire Direct, because why not?

So it looks like the missing legacy stages are:
Sector Z (64)
Planet Zebes (64)
Mushroom Kingdom (Melee)
Poke Floats (Melee)
Mute City (Melee)
Icicle Mountain (Melee)
Flat Zone (Melee)
Flat Zone 2 (Brawl)
Pictochat (Brawl)
Rumble Falls (Brawl)
Pac-Man (3DS)
Rainbow Road (3DS)
Jungle Hijinxs (Wii U)
Pyrosphere (Wii U)
Woolly World (Wii U)
Orbital Gate Assault (Wii U)
Miiverse (Wii U)

That's a pretty lame special edition for someone like me, but at least it means I won't need to spend extra

@Yorumi The thing that I noticed is that they were talking about "Boss" characters. With that and some of the movie trailers we've seen, it feels like there's a subspace emissary or something similar lurking behind that blurred part of the menu screen. That's probably my main (though small) gripe with all these announcements we've had for Smash Ultimate: no mention of a story mode!

So who is ready for Super Smash-Everything-AND-the-Kitchen-Sink-Edition?

I’m expecting a monster hunter playable character now with the Rathalos showing up. That or I would love a dark souls knight character. Would be an interesting move set.

If it can lay my bed and do the dishes for me, then I'm in!

If you can't tell, I'm hyped to the moon and back.

@Grumblevolcano Mushroom Kingdom from Melee is in SSBU.

@OfNullAndVoid I agree with you, I would've loved to see what the game has in terms of single player content and/or a story mode, as you mentioned.

I liked the Smash Bros. direct overall, I'm hyped for the newly announced playable characters (especially Simon, Richter, and King K. Rool) and SSBU having over 100 stages, though it did sort of break my heart to see Zero and Shovel Knight as assist trophies instead of being playable. Especially Zero, and I was JUST replaying the Mega Man X series! But whatever, as long as we get a good game anyway, I'm perfectly happy.

I really love love that they featured the intro song from Castlevania 64

@MarioLover92 Cool, I've updated the list.

I can't tell you how crushed I will be if Nintendo themselves skimp on a 32GB cartridge for this.

I hope its success will have a rollover effect and third parties feel more comfortable in using higher capacity cartridges.

@Yorumi Yeah, I would love to see break the target as well, for the reasons you mentioned. Another one was Event Mode, which forced you into specific situations (sometimes with specific fighters). You'd start with one square unlocked, and would unlock connecting squares once you beat it or met certain conditions.

I'm hopeful about the blurred mode, but am also not going to be surprised at all if it's something more like a Smash Run type of deal and an SE kind

@Tsurii Smash Wii U was about 13 GB. And Smash Ultimate has already been stated to be over 16 GB.
