Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

@SKTTR Sega has two characters, actually, and are approaching three with Joker. (Atlus is owned by Sega) Bayonetta is owned by Sega. Capcom can easily have more characters if Nintendo and Sakurai picked them.

In my mind Bayonetta is a Platinum Games character and Bayonetta 2 is produced by Nintendo but yeah, I often forget she's a Sega franchise. Also need to memorize that Atlus is now under Sega's wings.

Yeah, I think it's easily possible for Capcom, Sega, and Konami to have even more than 3 fighters in Smash, but I have a strong feeling it's Bandai Namco's turn now to get their second and third character in as well.

@SKTTR Given the fact that DLC Mii costumes are back, I wouldn't be surprised if 3rd party Smash 4 Mii costumes are re-released as DLC for Ultimate because of licensing.

I think we may also get a few returning stages as DLC or updates outside the Fighters Pass like Mute City (Melee) and Rainbow Road (3DS) as that's another thing that happened with Smash 4.

@Grumblevolcano: Do you have a costume list? Any costumes missing from Smash 4 (free and DLC)?

Poké Floats seems to be a favourite for returning stages. My favourite would be a Best-of-Smash Miiverse stage.

@SKTTR From comparing my Wii U file to my Switch file, all of the 3rd party costumes from Smash 4 are missing in Ultimate. Other stuff missing includes stuff like the Mii Plaza game costumes (like Mii Force Helmet) and some general stuff unrelated to specific games (like American Football Helmet).

I definitely have all costumes unlocked in Wii U and I'm pretty sure I have all costumes unlocked in Ultimate (you're not given milestones when you get everything).

Licensing is a likely reason why there's no 3rd party costumes in the base Ultimate game.

New update and Wendy added S a character, say what!

Can we PLEASE not spread that meme to here? And I love me some memes, but god.

It’s not even a meme as much as it is something dumb.

I have an idea what about gunvolt from gunvolt games the only major Nintendo indie to not have sprits or anything in smash

@Grumblevolcano pac man stage 3ds is better than pac land stage

Yeah we all know we want monster Hunter rep I mean Hunter with male and female formes

Hey, I saw that a bunch of the new Smash Bros amiibo on Amazon Japan are listed as coming out on December 31st 2019. Is that a mistake on Amazon's part? Or maybe just a placeholder date? Any of you die-hard Smash fans know what's up with that?

@Heavyarms55 Placeholder, the only Smash Ultimate amiibo with specific release dates are the 3 that already released (Wolf, Inkling, Ridley) and the February 15th batch (Piranha Plant, King K. Rool, Ice Climbers). The rest was either given a 2019 release date (Isabelle, Pichu, Ken, Young Link, Daisy) or no release date at all.

@Grumblevolcano oh. That makes much more sense. Thanks!

Pffft gas. My job pays my bills. Bonuses are always for video games lol. They might as well give us folk on here gift cards to eShops or Amazon. 😂

Sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong place, I couldn't find a better one and I didn't think it worthy to make a new topic out of
I'm new to smash, so I decided to get Ultimate on launch day, and i've practically been on it non stop since. But I suuuuuck. I've tried everything. I'v spent around 8 hours in training mode locking down my combos for both R.O.B and Pichu/Pikachu (My three mains). Whenever I decide it would be fun to go online however, I get my ass handed to me by everyone I play. I went from around 100,000 GSP to now only 10,000, and I don't think I can take many more losses before I rage quit. I've played 200 matches online, and many more offline. I know what all of my attacks are, how to hit them, how to chain them into solid combos, and how to edge guard. When I get into the match though, my sense of what do do completely vanishes, and I end up just spamming smash attacks as my opponent beats me up. I can land some solid attacks when the clouds in my brain part for a few seconds, but then I get nervous and start spamming a single move until I land it, leading to a lot of punish options for my opponent.
In short, I need help. I've watched every guide I can, but I just can't seem to fit it through my skull.
Anything at all would be helpful, and thanks for reading.

@Madnessman I’ll suggest two things. Try not to remember your moves when you play. It sounds like you’re causing yourself stress and over thinking it all. Don’t try and emulate other players and what they do, just find your own groove.
Secondly, don’t worry too much about GSP. Mine has gone wilder than the stock market sometimes. GSP is basically your spot on the entire leaderboard. So say that you’re at 1000, but so are 200 other people. If you lose a match and they have NO change, your GSP is now like 800. So don’t put too much into that number unless you’re super competitive.

@Madnessman Here are some suggestions: Don't try to be a pro from the start, those videos that show you how to combo frame by frame ain't for starters. Don't worry now, you only need experience to get better. Do some other stuff before entering the online scene, for example: finish some adventures with 9.9 difficulty or fight every character on the roster as a lvl 9 CPU. When you do go online focus on reading your opponent and try to break their pattern. I guess your mistake was to focus mainly on your own pattern and how to combo, but smash is not just about reaction time and pushing the right buttons. It's about intercepting your opponent, so you have to know when to defend and when to attack. This is something you'll get better at the more you do it.

I'm at the point where there's only 4 spirits I can't beat: Queen Metroid, Paula, Wind Fish and Baby Bowser

Though what's really annoying is I skipped the Federation Force Mech spirit around Ultimate's launch and it hasn't appeared since. It is what's stopping me from getting all the Xenoblade spirits.

I bought this at the end of December as my final purchase before my Best Buy GCU expired, and finally played it for the first time today. I was always fairly good at Smash, but skipped the Wii U/3DS versions. I played one quick match against a level 3 CPU and got my butt handed to me. I think I'm going to have to spend some considerable time in the help menus re-learning how to play Smash.
