Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

@Yosheel lol, someone reported you for spam because of that last post. xD

@joeynator3000: Well, how do they know I wasn’t talking about summer 2018.

Honestly the next smash game should be a reboot. Smaller roster but obviously some major changes in how the game works. I'm thinking next time maybe they should let us pick a group of characters that we can switch out on the fly.

Hah, "Switch" out.

Listen to me, talking about the successor already lol

@Snaplocket Yeah exactly. I'm sure it will, after this game. I honestly don't think we should even want a roster as big as this after Ultimate. At least if it means forgoing brand new characters. If they decide to cap it at 60ish for the rest of the franchise and just swap em' out between generations, I think that could work too

I dunno, people still complain that a few characters were missing from 4. Imagine if a future game got rid of most of the cast for a reboot.

Smash is a bit like Pokémon in that sense. The fanbase is very defensive of their characters.

So reviewers and internet celebrities are the majority?

Confirmed as a new game built for the Switch apparently, should stop a few comments going around now.

@Snaplocket I guess the only way to know for sure would be to see it happen. There’s no real comparable precedent right now.

Smash has so far been a series that has only ever expanded the amount of characters, with very few cuts between games, most of them for understandable reasons.

You won’t have more than a few people sad if you cut Wolf from the game. But it goes up exponentially from there.

(I guess it should be worth noting that I’m talking about the reboot idea, as in, cutting most of the roster and staring over)

For you diehards, GameCube Controllers and adapters are up for preorder on Amazon, I'm sure these will go quick!

Have we seen anything on single joycon possibilities? Probably not for the full experience, but maybe for a simplified party mode (kinda like Fifa offers)? That would be a smart move.

Smash is £59.99 in the UK...eesh.

Is it like the Wii U one or would I have to buy a new one? (I couldn't find what you were talking about to verify)

@Harmonie If you own adapters already, you don't need to buy any more.

I expect it to be cheaper closer to the time, I've never bought a day one game for more than £40.

@Yosheel What about the Street Fighter III series? From what I hear it took a good long while before people started warming up to characters other than Ryu & Ken who were the only veterans in the vanilla release.

@meleebrawler well, I’m not sure I would compare a fighting game where every character is original to a fighting game where every character has a fandom of their own outside of the fighting game.

It's seeming increasingly likely that Smash Ultimate has every single stage in Smash's history, maybe that's one of the surprises being saved for the future.

I mean at this point they might as well right, since they're pretty close to reaching that number anyway. This really is the ultimate Smash...

@KaiserGX @Grumblevolcano
They almost certainly aren't going to bring over every stage. Why bring both Sector Z and Corneria? Or Pictochat and Pictochat 2? Or Flat Zone 2 and Flat Zone X? And how would Miiverse even work if they brought it back? There's another 27 stages not confirmed yet as well... which... is still significant not quite enough to make me think there's any guarantee it will be all of them. There's a good chance all the Flat Zones might be merged, like the two Wily's levels, same with the Pictochats. Who knows at this point though? That said, according to Smash Wiki we're at 82 of the 109 stages confirmed already so... if we see any more confirmed past this point, I'd think it's safe to assume they're all there.

EDIT: To add in, of the missing stages, 12 of the 27 are already HD ready assetwise thanks to being in Smash for Wii U

Well, I’ve been seeing tons of returning stages, so it’s a possibility.

Also with omega and battlefield forms, that’s amazing.
