Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I'm a bit late with sharing my thoughts but I thought the Direct was great. I didn't expect to see this many characters. I was expecting like 5 newcomers in total since they are bringing everyone back. All the characters are great additions. I don't have as big of a connection to King K. Rool as others since I didn't play DKC trilogy that much but he looks like a fun character that has all the iconic moves from the games he appeared in. And Dedede was great.

I was mostly looking forwards to new game modes but I guess they'll show more of them next time. I liked the new multiplayer modes they showed, though. The mention of Classic mode was pretty brief and quite unnecessary since I'm sure they'll be talking about it more later.

@Mrtoad I'm the opposite. I really liked Subspace Emissary but can't really figure out why people like Adventure Mode. That said, I started with Brawl even though I really wanted a GameCube and Melee as a kid.

Not everything that, i predict came true.
all i can say is.. wow! they reveal 2 new characters and 3 Clo- er, i mean Echo Fighters. i predict new stages. but, im curious if will ever see Stage Builder again (hopefully that's in Games & More.)
happy that tournament mode has return as an offline mode again.

Anyone know the song that plays during Dark Samus's unveiling?

I think it was a new arrangement for the Kraid theme. As in, the area named Kraid, not Kraid the monster.

@Yosheel Sounds like you're right. Thanks for that. Now to wait for a track to drop.

I'm sort of hoping that in the next reveal, Waluigi's assist trophy is killed. And then all references to him in the game are removed. And there's no alts in his colors. Then Sakkurai drops a gamecube controller like a mic and walks off camera.

Honestly, I'd rather they not acknowledge the meme at all. it'd only get stronger

So the ending video and reveal of King K. Rool got me thinking...

It began with the original characters fighting one of their main villains in Smash Bros.
Mario vs Bowser
Link vs Ganondorf
Samus vs Ridley
Kirby vs Meta Knight
Fox vs Wolf

Then we get Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong lying around with no one to fight, leading to King K. Rool's appearance. I feel like that was intentional.

That led me to wonder... Who's left?
Luigi and Yoshi
Pikachu and Jigglypuff
Ness
Captain Falcon

Could we see more pairings? Were these left off intentionally for future reveals?
There are a slew of Mario/Luigi villains that could be added
We could possibly see another Pokemon edition
I'm not all spun up on the Earthbound/Mother series and who could pair with Ness
But could we get Black Shadow???

Ness and Lucas would have to fight Porky. It's the only feasible common fight.

Giegue!? Then they'd have to have EVE as an echo for R.O.B.! I'm down for that haha

Porky, pick an Ultra Beast for Pokemon, Black Shadow...

Instead of Black Shadow, what about Silver?
Edit: Robotnik!

Mewtwo kind of counts for Pokemon already.

@DarthNocturnal Well Wolf is arguable unless you use the Star Fox Zero meaning everything after 64 doesn't exist logic.

They just put some of the current playable characters in groups of villain vs heroes.

It doesn't really mean every hero will get a villain, or that those are all the possible examples found in the game.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, after Ditto being removed from the final version of Melee...he's actually in for real this time. Heh...

And they kept their original concept for him too.

@Grumblevolcano Yeah Wolf doesn't count, since Krystal is in it. She's the real villain, anyway.

Mewtwo in smash is heavily based on the Mewtwo from the first pokemon movie, which is kind of a sympathetic villain. But a villain nonetheless.

Quit trying to justify taking your neighbor’s paper. We all know it was you.

We know who you are and what you do!!
