Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

So far most of my crashes seem related to picking Zelda, or another fighter (can't remember who). I had a few other crashes on Zelda themed levels... But i bet it was loading Zelda as an enemy. I see blank spirit portraits, back out, go to change fighters, and the screen never loads, then crashes. At least currently that's where it's faulting. Seems different every time i reinstall.

Really shocked this would happen in 2019, and it wouldn't get a day 1 patch...

@Euler It's stunning. It really is. The only saving grace is that it does seem to be tied to using certain characters for some reason. On system 2 (other player/owner) that plays ONLY Kirby, it's been stable after the first 2 crash/failures.....but it's weird that the first happened after patching, the second happened just while sitting idle on the intro loop video.

On my machine I main "random" (or for spirit battles try to tie the fighter to the theme) and it does seem to be Zelda that was triggering it most reliably. Pick Zelda, spirits have no pictures, crash. Once it crashed on young link - but it was a zelda themed stage, and I can only assume it was loading her behind the scenes as an AI (every time I try Kafei on spirit board it crashes & spirits have no portraits.)

But the firest time it failed was just after patching and the second was while sitting on the menu....after the third redownload it runs, as long as I don't pick "bad" characters. Whenever they patch it I'll fully downlaod again.

It feels like an SD card failure in that it seems to behave different each time I redownload....but SD cards don't fail for one game on two machines simultaneously multiple times.....

Nintendo's the last company I'd expect this level of issue from....let alone on Smash.

So Pichu almost won Ultimate's first supermajor last night. Grand Finals at Genesis 6 was insane.

@IceClimbers How did piranha do....oh...nevermind.

Who else wants the Nintendo logo to be a smash fighter? It's been in like every Nintendo game! Think about its awesome moveset potential!!!

As proven last year, it would lose on all the Spirit Battles where the ground shakes....

@AlternateButtons Haha well done. I also had some ideas for a moveset. Props to you for writing it out! My suggestion is that with Up Smash the logo turns into one of the older Nintendo logos:

A late reaction, but here goes nothing: I am happy that you can buy the limited time Spirits in the ingame-shop now. So people who missed out can still get it. This probably also means they will do the same with planned future limited time Spirits.

Hopefully they will, but better safe than sorry!

@Rextherian He's already in as a Mii costume. Take it or leave it! I doubt Rex gets a spot since his costume is a bonus for purchasing the 5 DLC character pack, and it would be a very weird bonus if one of those DLC characters was actual Rex wouldn't it?

Yeah, the only way he gets in is if there's at least one more round of DLC. Which isn't too unlikely, seeing as Smash Ultimate will soon be the best-selling Switch game and they'll need people to stay interested in it to make NSO popular.

...We just got 2.0....we're already getting 3.0 soon? Wat? lol

@Joeynator3000 Home Run Contest confirmed? 😂

Meh, I want my Brawl-style Stage Builder back! >.<

I hope we could get some more character costumes in the future for other fighters. Dark meta knight and galacta knight are awesome for meta knight, but I can still see some others. for One, Mario Odyssey, Triforce Heroes, and Breath of the Wild still have a lot of costumes they could put into the game

funky kong for donkey kong

idk dixey kong, maybe a skin for diddy

Mrs. Pac Man

Builder or Doctor Luigi, Mr. L

3.0 will probably involve the launch of the Splatoon-like hub for Smash in the phone app.

Based on the blurred out screeenshots, I feel like it has something to do with stages. Maybe more returning stages that were missing in the main game? Maybe the stage builder is back? Hopefully Poke Floats returns, and hopefully the stage builder is based more on Brawl's, but expanded by a lot. (or maybe they could mix Brawl's and Wii U's...?)

@Joeynator3000 Well there's still the question of why name the 3DS F-Zero stage Mute City SNES if the Melee stage isn't coming at some point in Ultimate's lifespan.

I dunno, I mean, I kinda see why. Since "Mute City" would refer to the original, so naming the SNES stage that would cause confusing to those internet complainers out there.
