Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

@ReaderRagfish @NintendoByNature - I must have just missed you twice last night NBN, we’ll catch up soon. I was able to get slapped around by @HobbitGamer and RR for a while though. I had a lot of fun and look forward to the next round. Let me know if there’s a way to bow out other than just leaving the arena.

@ReaderRagfish @bimmy-lee it's no problem. Well all figure out a time. And I'd be down for some mk8 soon.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but given that SSBU updates have been including some different features and modes (i.e. Stage Builder, VR, additional Amiibo functionality, etc.), I feel this is an interesting time to discuss.

Obviously people have talked about bringing back Home Run Contest, Break the Targets and even Board the Platforms (all of which I would like).

But what about adding an Ultimate Boss Rush? I imagine it working similarly to the old All-Star mode, where a battle is fought and you return to a "safe zone" with health packs (hearts, Maxim Tomatoes, etc.) to be used at your discretion between battles.

Bring back all sub- and final bosses from the entire series (minus Ridley, who is now playable) and run the gauntlet. Do them partially in debut order, but with the Final Bosses (Tabuu, Master Core, Dharon, Galeem) at the end. Something like this:
Master Hand
Crazy Hand
Giga Bowser
Petey Piranha
Rayquaza
Porky
Galleom
Duon
Rathalos
Marx
Dracula
Ganon
Tabuu
Master Core
Galeem
Dharkon

What do you guys think?

does anyone know where i can find a good, understandable complete move guide/play guide? this is my first smash game, and i’ve been playing exclusively as kirby because he was the first WoL fighter. i’ve been doing pretty good i think, even beating some legendary spirits and am at the final boss in WoL, but i feel like i’ve plateaued. i have no idea what a “tilt attack” is- i tried googling it but when i try to do it it looks the same as my regular side attack. i don’t know how to dodge, or grab. i’ve started playing online and i just can’t quite reach the competitive level, mainly because i have absolutely no clue what i am doing?? any pointers/tips would be appreciated.

@Arbor There’s a pretty nifty “How to play” guide and move listing in the game itself, have you checked it out?
Tilt attacks are almost like doing a smash attack, but Im not great at pulling them off. You can go to your control settings and change the right stick to be the tilt attack shortcut instead of the smash attack shortcut. I also mapped both right shoulders to grab, and both left to shield. Those are just tips off my head.

Bowser Main here. I'm loving the King of Koopas and have been tearing it up online, but I think I need to branch out into a second main. Any recs from other Bowser players? Looking to stay in the heavier, more powerful section of the board.

I never play with bowser; but I'd imagine king k rool would be close

Ganondorf, for sure. He’s a powerhouse in ultimate if you’re used to heavies

Thanks for the advice dudes! I used to play Ganondorf a lot in Melee. That forward smash of his is pretty nasty.

@bimmy-Lee @hobbitgamer @readerragfish anyone playing tonight?

I’m not tonight, but probably tomorrow. I did some spirit board earlier and it was all I could do to stay in the fights 😂
Think I’ll aimlessly roam around colonial America tonight

@NintendoByNature - My wife and I are mulling our options. If I’m on tonight, it’ll be to play tennis, Crash, or pub encounter with her. Bet I’ll have some time either tomorrow night or Sunday though.

No problem. Let me know tomorrow night if anyone hips on

@hobbitgamer @readerragfish @bimmy-Lee anyone down?

@NintendoByNature I’ll probably be up for some rounds in about 30 minutes. Finishing up late dinner

@NintendoByNature - I’m in.

@bimmy-lee ok I'll hop on and make an arena

Doooods! That was some intense smash action! Great time, y’all! Back to Boston and Aliens movie now 😂

Yea nice game fellas. It was a blast

@NintendoByNature @HobbitGamer - Good stuff guys, sorry I had to leave earlier than I had hoped. Third place every time! Im going to do some division this morning and figure out my average finish.
