GreyShadow: Smash Ultimate Newcomer Opinions

GreyShadow 11.02.18	comment with your thoughts/wanted characters sup sput
Saros 11.02.18	Simon/Richter is all I could ever want tbh. Ridley and K Rool finally being a thing is kind of neat too I suppose. Direct itself was kind of meh for the last one before the game's release imo.
SteakByrnes 11.02.18	What about Ken
Saros 11.02.18	At least Incineroar isn't another fire/fighting type. It certainly could've been, but I'm really glad it wasn't.
GreyShadow 11.02.18	Emboar is shitty Incineroar, Incineroar is shitty Infernape, and Infernape is cool but not as cool as Blaziken Remember when Fire Starters were cool? Fenniken and Braixen were so promising but Delphox still left something to be desired. Still a pretty good design though
GreyShadow 11.02.18	And as for echoes: I'm excited to see more of Daisy, I've been having fun with Peach recently. Chrom is hype, I love my FE characters. Dark Samus seems really cool but I'm not a fan of playing Samus so idk. Idk how Richter and Simon differ so he's the same. And I don't like playing Ryu so I probably won't like playing Ken but glad he's there
Get Low 11.02.18	The Spirit shit or whatever it is looks absolutely retarded. The adventure mode doesn't look great either.
deathschool 11.02.18	Give me Banjo Kazooie and I won’t ask for anything else.
J() Alexander 11.02.18	Alucard is just an assist trophy, 0/2000059900, worst game ever.
BerryGarlicia 11.02.18	WALUWIGI
Cygnatti 11.02.18	i don't really care about newcomers because this game already has all the characters i could ever want, and way way more tbh.
Sauce 11.02.18	Incineroar is hugely popular in Japan (due its presence in the anime, which itself is of course more popular in Japan), so for them this was a big final reveal. I agree though - not only is Incineroar uninteresting as a character but his moveset looks so boring.
Get Low 11.02.18	Incineroar looks intriguing to me because I've always wanted a "grappler" character.
beefshoes 11.02.18	Banjo & Kazooie would have definitely been an incredible inclusion, and I was really hoping for some more Mega Man and Street Fighter fighters. That being said, they put fucking Simon and Richter Belmont in the game, so there are no complaints whatsoever.
Rik VII 11.02.18	Inceroar is a mild disappointment because I hoped they'd include Decidueye instead. That would have been awesome and they don't have a plant stand-alone yet.
tellah 11.02.18	Geno Banjo and Skull Kid pls
Kalopsia 11.02.18	Geno and Skull Kid were my two dream adds. i dunno, game looks like it'll rule.. but since i don't already have a Switch.. it just isn't enough for me to buy an entire console. I'll stick with my ps4 -- too busy with Spider-man, God of War, and RDR2
granitenotebook 11.02.18	excited for piranha plant and ridley
beefshoes 11.02.18	More Pokémon would be nice too.
theacademy 11.02.18	give us neko from the world ends with you and a shibuya map were not getting crash bandicoot lol
Kalopsia 11.02.18	Also how lame is it that it's just.. Piranha Plant? why not Petey Piranha??
Rik VII 11.02.18	They really wanted us to know that even a Piranha Plant is more likely to get in than Waluigi.
Kalopsia 11.02.18	No Waluigi? No deal
ArsMoriendi 11.03.18	I was so damn annoyed about Piranha plant initially, but I've grown to love it.
ArsMoriendi 11.03.18	I'm sad that this will be the first game since the original to not have trophies.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.03.18	nintendo is so good at trolling its fans its almost sheer genius
deathschool 11.03.18	Oh yeah, it’s an art form at this point
bloc 11.03.18	Better at it than Apple at this point lol
Keyblade 11.03.18	is piranha gonna be one of the 5 dlcs if you don't preorder? cuz that would be a huge troll if it is
Rik VII 11.03.18	If I understood correctly, Piranha will be avaiable for free for a certain amount of time. So not necessarily pre-order, but you have to get the game early on if you don't want to waste money on it. (Looking it up now, I'm confused. Maybe it IS pre-order exclusive, but that would suck even more.)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.03.18	anyways shadow characters are generally pretty lame but dark samus looks great and im stoked to try out pretty much all the new comers except incineroar the shitty novelty characters can sometimes be fun so im ok with isabelle and pirhanna plant. i like spamming villagers tree chop. i literally just got the wii u smash tho so ya cant wait to play the new one in about 6 years from now
Keyblade 11.03.18	ultimate is the perfect name for this iteration gonna be so sick to pick from every veteran and almost every stage in smash bros history. also that 3 on 3/5 on 5 mode looks like it's gonna be so much fun
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.04.18	honestly forgot about young link and cannot wait to be him again, even if hes one of three links
Cygnatti 11.04.18	@key, pirahna is a free DLC bonus if you by the game within the first like two months of release so it ends sometime in like late january, so it's kinda no rush. i'd prob try half of the cast and stick with whoever i like.
RadioheadIsOverrated 11.04.18	Dude I want Rayman so fucking bad
Keyblade 11.04.18	rayman and banjo and i'm set for eternity tbh
GreyShadow 11.04.18	Rayman deserves it. I'd be happy
ArsMoriendi 11.04.18	Rayman and Banjo are probably the best options yeah. Assuming assists are out of the question the DLC 5 should be: Banjo Rayman maybe that Shantae chatacter everyone seems to want Geno Maybe Tails or Eggman?
naughtcturnal 11.04.18	i want mallow
Keyblade 11.04.18	i wonder if this is gonna be the last smash game, cuz honestly where do u even go from this? who can they add without going into comic crossover territory, while still being hype?not too many candidates left, assuming the 5 dlc's are gonna be on point
Saros 11.04.18	Rayman gets in, but the catch is the Rabbids have to be added as an assist trophy. I'd love to see the reactions for it.
Keyblade 11.04.18	rabbids are already spirits in the game so idk about that
GreyShadow 11.04.18	I don't think Spirits deconfirm anything.
naughtcturnal 11.04.18	''i wonder if this is gonna be the last smash game, cuz honestly where do u even go from this? who can they add without going into comic crossover territory, while still being hype?not too many candidates left, assuming the 5 dlc's are gonna be on point'' They can make a Smash FPS
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.04.18	out of the rumour mill i would still be pretty stoked for Shovel Knight. Dixie or Cranky Kong would be lit, preferably the latter. Elma, Amaterasu, Geno, Skullkid would all be welcome additions for me. If they made Shadow a playable echo for sonic instead of including literally ~any~ other sonic character I would vomit on my shirt. Also this would never ever happen but nintendo should just completely revamp Young Link and make him 3 unique characters like pokemon trainer, giving him his 3 transformation makes from Majoras mask so you can play as Zora, Deku, and Goron Link. Final smash would be Fierce Deity.
Keyblade 11.04.18	shovel knight is already an assist trophy dude, also no dlc echos so no shadow unfortunately :[
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	throwing all the assist trophy stuff out the window and everyone that we know would never appear honestly there are so many ideal characters left, and since they seem capable of passing off more and more ridiculous characters its even easier to include weird ones I want Toad/Toadette, Waluigi, Birdo, Kamek, Boo, A Shy-Guy, Dry-bones, Nabbit from Mario Midna, Ghirahim, Fi, Impa, Linkle, Tetra, Vaati, Zant, hell give me POSTMAN from Zelda. troll me with Tingle even gimme Slippy, Peppy, and Krystal GIMME A FUCKING WADDLE DOO EVEN gimme literally any pokemon that i fucking recognize instead of all these new monstrosities SAMURAI GOROH! Pico? literally any fire emblem characters that dont use swords are welcome Knuckles, Tails, that one bat (rogue or some shit), Amy ZERO, protoman, if even just an echo literally any non-human xeno character Rodin and Balder Banjo, Crash Bandacoot, hell everyone seems to want rayman for some reason, id try him
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	"shovel knight is already an assist trophy dude, also no dlc echos so no shadow unfortunately :[" that is not unfortunate imo
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	Krystal is an assist
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	i literally prefaced my post with "throwing assist trophy exclusions out the window" i don't pay enough attention to stay on top of that stuff, just let a dude dream
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	Impa would've been a neat Sheik echo
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	thought i heard that zero and skullkid were assists too but that will never stop me from fantasizing
Keyblade 11.05.18	"that is not unfortunate imo" woulda preferred Knuckles anyway, but he's an assist too but yea it would be cool if the next smash added all those secondary characters u mentioned. we got all the main ones down "Midna, Ghirahim, Fi, Impa" like any of these 4 for example woulda be dope. but if i'm not mistaken Midna and Ghirahim are already assists lol has a character who's been an assist in a previous game become an actual character before?
Keyblade 11.05.18	"thought i heard that zero and skullkid were assists too but that will never stop me from fantasizing" yup, Skullkid since the last game
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	I just want Tails so a Mario and Luigi vs. Sonic and Tails team battle can happen
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	"has a character who's been an assist in a previous game become an actual character before" Little Mac was one in brawl
Keyblade 11.05.18	isabelle was one in the last game now that i remember, that's cool then
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	And Dark Samus
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	This Wiki I checked said it was only those 3 though
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	Wait... holy fuck Tingle isn't going to be an assist in the new one.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	BUM BUM BUMMMM
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	everyone: we want skull kid and waluigi nintendo: ok how about a piranha plant and tingle also a wii fit trainer echo you're welcome
GreyShadow 11.05.18	does that mean Tingle has a DLC chance? I'll take ANY Zelda rep at this point so that's fine.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	DARK MII FIGHTER
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	This is also the first Smash to have Termina Bay in it though, so maybe that's why. Since he's a hazard on that stage
Keyblade 11.05.18	pretty sure melee had termina bay
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	I meant since Melee lol whoops
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	isnt it supposed to have every stage thats appeared in smash regardless?
Keyblade 11.05.18	nah there are a few omissions, some really good ones like sector z, pokefloats, pictochat, orbital gate assault
Lord(e)Po)))ts 11.05.18	well thats not very ultimate now is it
Cygnatti 11.05.18	it has like more than 100 stages which is like why thoooo (not complaining)
Keyblade 11.05.18	if u add up all the stages in every game, only 24 stages are missing...which includes the various final destinations and battlefields. that's amazing woulda been nice to have all of them tho, not sure why those 24 didn't make the cut
GreyShadow 11.05.18	100+ stages and omega/battlefield forms of each and a good hazard toggle too
Keyblade 11.05.18	stage morph + squad battles 🔥
ArsMoriendi 11.05.18	Sector Z is just Corneria in space though, and Corneria will be in it. We need an updated Pokefloats
Keyblade 11.05.18	yea that would be crazy i think orbital gate assault is the biggest omission. that's a top 10 stage
Keyblade 11.06.18	wow rude
Cygnatti 11.06.18	no more sword/sword-like users pls
Keyblade 11.06.18	there's only like 10 of em, most from the fire emblem series and like half of them echoes
ArsMoriendi 11.06.18	Zelda: 3 Fire Emblem: 6 Xenoblade: 1 Kirby: 1 Final Fantasy: 1 That is 12, only 2 are echoes.
Keyblade 11.06.18	ur missing Cloud but yeah half of those are basically 3 different Links, 2 Marths, and 2 Roys
Rik VII 11.06.18	Kirby uses the sword in only one attack, that doesn't count. That is, IF it counts then Ganondorf is also one in Ultimate (because of his new side smash).
ArsMoriendi 11.06.18	Updated. And that's still 7 unique swordfighters (Link, Marth, Ike, Robin, Shulk, Meta Knight, Cloud)
Keyblade 11.06.18	I think he meant Metaknight Rik
Rik VII 11.06.18	Oops yeah, I thought completely in the wrong direction, thanks for clearing that up
ArsMoriendi 11.06.18	Yeah, I did. I was going by series
Keyblade 11.06.18	1 in every 7 or so characters is a swordfighter...that's nothing
ArsMoriendi 11.06.18	I just don’t like how Fire Emblem has 7 characters, but only 4 unique characters Chrom messes that up too because he blends 2 of the unique characters together...
Keyblade 11.06.18	too many echoes in that series. shoulda made Chrom a unique character even Roy started out as a clone
Rik VII 11.06.18	Chrom feels kinda unnecessary but he was more or less teasered in Smash 4 so they had to put him in.
