Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I think Smash Ultimate's online will be around the same as Smash 4, the Lan adapter warning was in the November 2014 Smash Direct too.

@PolarExperience no other fighting games, just splatoon. Will see how it turns out thx!

I’ve actually never played Smash, or any other games in this genre.

I’ll probably get my ass whooped for the first few hours/days. I can’t dedicate all of my gaming time to it, but I’ll split 50/50 with Warframe, which has quickly turned into a full-blown addiction.

This looks like one of those games that seems like a button masher at first, but is actually deceptively tactical. Look like a lot of fun though.

Well, it’s prepurchased and downloaded, so I guess we’ll find out. 😁

should I order the digital or hard copy?

That’s a personal choice. I’m all-digital and wouldn’t have it any other way. There are folks here who buy physical whenever possible. There’s quite a few threads on the benefits of each if you need more input.

I have mainly gone to most being digital with just a few physical copies that I found cheap. Knowing the game will not drop in price makes me want to dip into the digital side, but then my son is wanting a switch to play in his room, so physical might be better so he can barrow the cartridge.

Yeah, it sounds like physical might make more sense for you and your son.

If it's a forum dedicated to a competitive game, chances are it will be a bit toxic, or at the very least not newbie friendly.

The FEH smash promo image is making me want a FE Fighting game in this style. Is it Friday yet?

@Ryu_Niiyama A clinic manager asked me to look into something today and get back with her Friday. I just laughed loudly and said “Yeah...That’s not gonna happen.”
Almost 72 hours left.

@HobbitGamer lol I feel the same. I went into work on my day off so i could have Friday off instead.

Addendum: There is not enough hype in this thread.

It took me way too long to realize Sheik's wearing the BotW Sheikah outfit.

So is Sheik an OoT (character), TP (design) or BotW (clothes) representative? Do they even know anymore?

@BeetonTheRobot Pro Controller. I don't like the GameCube controller because it's missing way too many buttons, and third-party options have their own shortcomings like their own lack of features.

Hell, I might even be fine with single Joy-Con and just play like I did on the 3DS when I play with my sisters so they can use the two Pro Controllers I have. (I'm not risking using the grip because my left Joy-Con has bad connections, but I may end up using it lol)

@BeetonTheRobot Pro controller. The 3DS and Wii U versions of Smash 4 got me way more acquainted with the diamond shaped button layout than I thought I would.

I see it as all the more reason to give Sheik one more go. Have a Zelda hide from the Yiga (I am loving the fact that the Sheikah are slowly getting fleshed out as a tribe/concept) inspired by the old legends passed down in her family. Zelda has been goddess reborn/leader of the sages, magical archer, and scholar in addition to princess/ruler of Hyrule. Time to give awesome kunoichi in exile another go. Loved HWs take on it. Even if I thought Impa was gonna punch her.

For the controller question, procon for me.

Does procon mean the Joy-Con + grip?

Friend said his local gamestop is doing a 9pm Thursday release. Not sure how, but I'm hoping there's one down here that does that
