Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

So I'm curious to see what's going on with modes. They still haven't revealed a single mode outside of the normal multiplayer. Supposedly modes are going to be shown during the tournament somehow? But it's strange that we don't even know if classic mode is returning yet.

I totally thought they'd try to hype up an adventure/history mode but instead they went...

G A M E C U B E C O N T R O L L E R

@Yosheel I thought the same thing. That was a bit underwhelming. I really hope they have some great modes to show.

Unreal Engine 4 boys.

Given we were already told there would be surprises later on, I figured E3 wasn't the time for single player.

@Yosheel With that and making the game faster in general and every character being in, I'm wondering if this was made mostly for melee fans

Oh wow the Nintendo Badge Arcade claw is an assist trophy

Oh, so that's who I saw on the bottom, I thought it was an Animal Crossing character. lol

Krystal (Star Fox) & Knuckles are also assists.

Very minor thing I noticed during the Ridley trailer: One of the matches was with HP since Link dies on the spot after Ridley's tail attack. Nothing new or special, just a cool detail.

Yeah, it being built on Unreal Engine 4 straight up confirms it's new. Entirely different engine lol.

Everyone ever returning was pure hype, and Ridley was an AMAZING surprise. Looking forward to it.

The Invitational having both Melee and 4 pros makes sense now, as the game clearly is somewhere between those two trying to cater to both fanbases with the return of directional air dodge, which will make Melee players VERY happy, plus 8 player smash returning.

Also looks like they're issuing new Gamecube controllers. The Smash logo on the one they showed is different from the ones they issued for Smash 4.

Anyways, deconfirmed characters (assist trophies):

• Waluigi
• Rodin
• Lyn
• Krystal
• Bomberman
• Knuckles

I missed that this is on Unreal 4...huh. What was Wii U on?

@Joeynator3000 Custom engine

@DarthNocturnal Havok is solely a physics engine.

Unreal is straight up a game engine, so it does physics, rendering, animation, AI etc. Havok is just physics.

So for instance if a game uses Havok for physics it still needs to use something else for...well everything else.

For instance Sonic Generations has Havok physics, but uses the Hedgehog Engine for everything else.

@Snaplocket Doc doesn't use FLUDD like Mario, and also has a new down aerial, Pichu also has several different normal attacks from Pikachu even before considering changes from Melee we haven't seen, same for Young Link who has the multi-stab Link ditched in Brawl.

The credits at the end where for every game shown at the presentation. Dark Souls and Fortnite were also mentioned.

Smash Ultimate probably isn't using Unreal 4.

So is the game a true sequel or a re-release?

@JayJ It's obviously not a re-release or a port.

I think people are getting confused because a lot of content is being 'reused', but really that content spans ALL Super Smash Bros and has nothing to do with SSB4, and also all of it has been remade, not just remastered. This is NOT a port at all.
