Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I think Sakurai and his team used this comparison chart before deciding their new character:

Well Waluigi beggars have 5 dlc characters to beg. so we shall hear about this until 2020 I guess.

I'm hoping for a VF rep (pai chan or kagemaru since akira is out) and possibly Chun-Li since Capcom is not going to give us IV so far (I'm grateful for the others, I just want a modern SF on the go).

Master Miller is a spirit. Does this mean we might get MGS5 ported?

Also, sucks about the Mii outfit for Rex.

Why did Splatoon get one when they have a real character?

@Trajan I think these Splatoon outfits are based on designs from the second game while the actual Inklings in Ultimate are based on the first game. Although, I dont think having a Mii outfit doesn't necessarily rule out being a playable character and vice versa. In Smash 4 we had Mii outfits for Link, Samus, Fox, and Captain Falcon. At least that's what I'll tell myself to give me hope that Chibi Robo can still make it in as DLC.

@EvilLucario Oh I get it. Galeem is a pun name for gleam, which means bright shine. A fitting name for the Adventure mode title.

I'm just happy to drink the tears of those who believed in the Grinch leak. Honestly if you believed it was real (this is different from saying it looks convincing), you deserved it.

@EvilLucario I never looked at what this ‘Grinch’ leak was, nor did I feel the urge to.
But the tears are hilarious.

I'm a little confused about Spirits, namely if Spirit Battles are a mode in itself like Master/Crazy Orders were in Wii U or if the only Spirit Battles are found in the World of Light mode.

Who else has been listening to the theme "Lifelight" since the direct.

I'm almost sure the spirits mode and the world of light thing are one and the same.

The ending sold it for me: Yessssss, a adventure mode with a map and all (probably just like missions, but cool nonetheless)! Beautiful video, with voice-acting. And Nintendo did a theme-song again, this may be a new standard for Nintendo. I wonder if you unlock the characters that way, it isn't 100% clear.

Also missions and challenges and stuff you can buy (Spirits, music and other stuff).

No trophy's, sadly. But collectable Spirits (Stickers if you will). I guess there will be tons of them.

As for the characters: Ken looks okay, Incinerator looks like fun, Piranha plant is bonkers but cool! And there are dlc characters on the way. I wonder though if Piranha plant is also part of the fighter-pass, I guess so. I want to buy the game at a not yet decided date, and at a shop of my choosing. But if I ever buy the pass I also want Piranha plant, of course.

Overall I am excited. It looks like there is still quite some stuff for us single-players. Nintendo, I am in again!

Just glancing at the Smash website, Spirits is a part of the adventure mode (World of Light)

There's already half hour extended videos of the theme. I'm sorted.

Folk just want Waluigi to appease their ocd. Try to design Waluigi and all you can say is "Well..he could hit someone with a tennis racket" Sakurai has managed to make a plant work as a fighter. The man is a mad genius!

Waluigi was gonna be in there, but Petey Piranha ate him.

I need Smash in my veins

Hnnnggghh

Nintendo STILL doesn't understand online gaming.

No way to play on a team with one of my friends in matchmaking...UNLESS he's in the room with me. Ugh.

No way to communicate with friends in game unless I use a phone. Seriously? Fortnite has showed us that in game voice chat is absolutely possible on the Switch and there's no reason Nintendo should make us use our phones.

It looks like an incredible game but it's such a shame that Nintendo has to throw a wet blanket on it with its online ineptness.

So many Infinity War jokes with that intro, here's some adjusted ones:

"I don't feel so good Dr. Mario" and "Should have gone for the hand"

But this is what I was waiting for, confirmation of a story/adventure mode. I'm hoping there'll be more cutscenes beyond the intro, but what has been shown so far will definitely keep me occupied. I'll probably stink at online matches since I'm more of a casual player, so get ready to get my collect my tag!

I actually liked Ken over Ryu, so seeing him as a echo fighter definitely pleases me. It was fun however to see him KO'd by Incineroar. Of course, not having played any pokemon since red/blue/yellow, I have absolutely no idea what to expect of him. Isn't he an evolution of one of the later starter pokemon?

And Piranha plant? I thought villager was an interesting addition to the Wii U/3DS version because of the non violent nature of the Animal Crossing series, as well as Isabelle to ultimate (same reason), but Piranha Plant takes the top spot right now for funkiest character in Smash for me. Which is probably why I can't wait to play that character.

But as I said, the adventure mode is what I was waiting for. I would have gotten the game anyway, but I felt the Wii U version lacked a solid single player mode, and seeing this I feel the game finally has one now. Can't wait to help Kirby free his friends!

I'm excited! Ken looks great of course while Incineroar looks fun. Piranha Plant made me spit my coffee out in laughter. Just such a left field character lol

Very curious to see who the 5 DLC fighters in the pass will be.

Honestly, I’ve not used voice chat on Fortnite at all. If keeping voice out helps optimize the online play, I don’t mind the lack of chat. Did Smash 4 have voice chat?
