Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Great direct, more excited for Smash than I was beforehand. Really seems like there will be a ton to do and unlock outside of just mp battles. Can't wait!

@ReaderRagfish release

I'm against the DLC, I find it silly for a game already ludicrously big, and again, the whole "ultimate" moniker is lessened for me. Not that it matters. I'll probably buy them when they're all released. And at least it's a set list of 5(6) at the moment, so they have a clear plan.

Game looks amazing.

Sakurai needs an English speaking dub.

DLC is again overpriced to me. I didn't buy any of the Wii U DLC and they're gonna have to go some to tempt me to buy any this time.

Spirits mode gave me goose bumps. Can't wait.

Seems fair to me, characters costed about the same in Smash 4 and they didn't always come with stages.

I love getting new stages to I'm definitely gonna get them all.

In my eyes, the DLC would be a problem if we had a Street Fighter V launch situation, but the base game is loaded with characters and stages so we're good.

@Tsurii Considering that Piranha Plant won't be there at launch, I expect the DLC fighters are going to take a while. And it that case... it feels a bit strange announcing a season pass at this point in time. A few weeks before the first DLC fighter would make a lot more sense. Or announcing one or two DLC characters, so we have an idea. But I'm not a big fan of paying for something that I won't receive for a good while, so it's all a bit strange to me to begin with. Plus I think it's a bit overpriced. It's almost half the game for six additional characters.

So how were the Isaac and Shadow reveals for you guys?

@DarthNocturnal Well, it's €60 for 74(?) characters, so €6 per character is a lot in comparison. But that's just my opinion.

@Octane you could always wait until they're all avaiable before purchasing the pass

The direct was packed with awesomeness! Only thing I was missing was an announcement at the end calarifying that Piranha Plant was a poor joke.

I just realized that Ancestral Steppe isn't a normal stage. T.T

The 5 DLC characters just leaked. HYPE!

.... I'd buy some of those....

_{Ok, most of them.}

I want Boo.
_{...or King Boo...}

For characters, I think something from Monster Hunter is deserving of a roster spot by now

I like that the DLC will bump up the character count to a nice perfect 80.

Or will it?

sighs Skull Kid is an Assist Trophy...

Still hoping for Palico to get in, dunno why Ancestral Steppe is just a boss stage for Rathalos, yet it has no normal stage.

The villain of Adventure Mode is confirmed to be Galeem.
