Smash is so much cheaper physical, and I like looking at the cases, but I fear I'm more likely to play the game in small bursts than for long sessions - and who wants to keep changing carts? I regretted getting Ultra Street Fighter II physical - though not the game itself - for precisely that reason.

Just interested in hearing the views of Smash fans - it'll be my first time.

Physical, may have considered also getting digital for some games like Smash Ultimate if the microSD card situation wasn't so bad. It's not like you can go out and buy a 2TB microSD card for cheap at this point like you can with external hard drives. The 128GB microSD card I got last year still has over half its space left because of going physical only for plenty of base games.

@Grumblevolcano As an aside, I just saw that Walmart's black friday deal will include a 128 card for $25 and a 32 for $6...

@Snaplocket In my argument, I'm mainly talking about specials. Yes, there have been some changes but some of those move set changes haven't gone far enough. Ganondorf still plays very similar to Captain Falcon in terms of special moves. Luigi uses the Green Missile attack, which has nothing to do with the games he has appeared in outside of Smash, along with his Luigi Cyclone probably being loosely based on the spin attack from Super Mario World.

The reasons why characters like Zero Suit Samus and Pit were given changes were to give them more viable move sets. In the case of Z.S. Samus, it increases her combo and aerial capabilities while replacing a original move from Brawl despite being created for Smash Bros. 4 as well. In Pit's case, it replaced a special move set nearly original to Brawl by supplying him with specials based upon Uprising.

@Elvie I still don't understand. CFalcon wasn't even ever in a fighting game, so with your view would that mean he either shouldn't be in it or else just appear and fight in a car?

I might just end up getting the game digitally. Having that beautiful box art is nice and all, but being able to play it at any time is too good.

I might just end up with two copies of the game anyways just like with Xenoblade 2... god help me.

Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill

I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.

I think 1 character may get announced before launch (maybe even the day before at The Game Awards), currently the only way to buy the fighters pass is the digital bundle of Smash Ultimate + Fighters Pass + Piranha Plant code. If you want to buy the physical version of the base game, you can't buy the Fighters Pass until December 7th.

@Grumblevolcano I wouldn't expect the first one until the spring Direct in March/April. The fighters pass not being available separately from the digital bundle until launch doesn't mean anything and is pretty standard.

It doesn't matter how complete a character is or not.

They need to pace the dlc so the game stays relevant for a long while.

For all we know the characters could all be finished in a single month.

@Yosheel That's highly unlikely at best. Sakurai has gone into great detail about the character creation process, and how long various parts take. Assuming these are all uniques (we know they aren't echoes, but theoretically we could see some semiclones), We won't see the first post-Pirahnha Plant character until at least April. No way that they'd be done in a month, the balancing process alone takes longer than that.

@MrBeanCartoonFan oh. There really was one. Anyway. That’s 99.99% in the realm of Mr Bean not being in a Smash Game. Sorry, but I’m sure you knew that.
Can’t stop you from enjoying him in other media, though! And you could always try to make a Mii Fighter look like him

I'm pretty sure there's a lot of Mr. Bean Miis around. Just won't sound like him.
A theoretical Mr. Bean would have a lot to draw from, but I'd really want his Final Smash to be his Mini and the blue Reliant driving in from opposite ends and crashing into each other which would crush any fighters caught between them.

As ever I'm going digital with this one. I'll be maining the overpowered pink blob until I get all fighters [well, depending on how they're unlocked I might just have to settle for most], then testing everyone else out to choose a secondary and some tertiaries. I need a refresh.

@HobbitGamer He probably shouldn't have been put in as a fighter but there's no changing that now. The funny thing is I have actually tried to think of move set for him in the Blue Falcon that replaces his other specials (except Falcon Punch since it's so iconic that it became apart of the F-Zero series).

My point is that characters who actually have a decent amount of material to work with, like Ganondorf or Luigi, should get attacks based on this rather than filling them in with Smash exclusive moves.

On a related note, I think new attacks for other characters should be provided to them as well, especially the ones who have moves that are practically created for Smash but are loosely based upon an aspect of their games such as Pac-Man with his Fruit attacks. The developers could have used Pac-Man World attacks instead of using trampolines from an entirely different Namco game (Mappy).

@ValhallaOutcast If you’re already excited for it, I seriously doubt you’ll be let down! And you’re jumping in with all this content available

I honestly doubt they’ll even try to.

I can see the next game cutting down on the content. Maybe even being a sort of reboot.

The fans will hate it, but it will give them space to improve again in the future.

@Elvie I think Pac Man stands for the relationship between Nintendo and Bandai Namco (Namco Bandai?) and is a celebration for everything Bandai.

Don't forget that every character has to be balanced too.

Elvie

@Saego I guess I'm just in the minority of people who don't want Pac-Man to be a Namco representative to the point that classic Namco elements make up his move set. I

t's probably because I got attached to a move set I came up with over a decade ago by doing a drawing of Pac-Man and Mr. Game & Watch some time after Brawl came out.

In the final Smash Direct, Sakurai says the Spirits system allows to "simulate otherwise impossible battles" with examples in the video like Roy causing the stage to spout fire with the Eliwood Spirit or Falco using strong winds by equipping the Loftwing Spirit.

Is he still talking about the Spirit Battles/Spirit Board that replace the Event Matches or is he talking about Spirits Mode in general because from what I've seen so far, the Spirits either enhance your physical attributes or provide special skills like a lighter jump or having a bob-omb equipped which makes me think he is talking about the former?
