Smash Ultimate is fast-paced and responsive, a significant draw for fans who found Brawl’s and even Smash 4’s speed underwhelming. Developers adjusted every fighter to accommodate Smash Ultimate’s speed buff. Zelda, for example, feels like she’s moving at light speed compared to Smash 4’s weighed-down Hyrule princess.

Something about the graphics felt off, the videos had this weird flat shading which made it feel like an upscaled Gamecube game. Which is probably not too far from what it actually is tho

Melee is the Super Turbo of Smash- some people are never going to stop playing it and 'refuse' to move on.  But it hits new heights of ridiculousness when you have players dropping out of tournaments because they couldn't find the right broken controller to use.

And of course nothing tops Fox's Melee look.

I wouldn't be surprised if the final roster was an even 70 (not counting echo characters.) So five more slots to go.

Probably something for ARMS, maybe a deep cut like Geno or something. There's always one weird "unexpected" character.

Melee: Game & Watch
Brawl: ROB
Wii U/3DS: Duck Hunt

What NES-era peripheral could they still mine for a new character? :thinking

Even something as small as picking the stage before characters is a huge QoL enhancement for the tourney crowd.

Really? I thought the UE4 logo would be for Fortnite or something... had no idea Octopath used it too!

Post by: Purrp Skirrp on June 15, 2018, 11:26:50 AM
Not only Octopath, but Fortnite too, and if DBFighterZ was featured then that uses it as well. Just going by Nintendo's YouTube account, the trailers for Yoshi end with an Unreal Engine logo, whereas the Smash portion of the direct has this for its credits:

(https://i.imgur.com/298QyNq_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high)

I guess there's an off chance that it uses it, but there hasn't been any confirmation yet and there's really no indication that it does. And the only source for this rumor stems from the Unreal credit in the direct.

Just give me Smash 3DS's Classic Mode, *Classic* (aka 64/Melee) Classic Mode, Adventure Mode, and a non-idiotic menu design and baby, we got a stew going.

Also Tourney Mode from Melee and a cutscene-heavy single-player a la Subspace Emissary would be cool beans too.

I don't even get why either. I liked the Gamecube but that controller is fucking horrible. The new games don't even use the features of it like analog triggers and it is literally crippling the hands of long time Smash players. Yet there's still a movement to ban all other controllers that people are using to try and avoid carpal tunnel and other hand/wrist injuries.

I'm just going to use the Switch Pro controller to play. Much more comfortable and has no latency when wired.

Post by: nachobro on June 19, 2018, 03:01:09 PM
I was questioning why all Smash players don't just move on to a non-shit controller, not just the 5 people who make a living from it.

Also you'd think if your entire livelihood is predicated on being good at a video game, you might make some choices that would prolong your ability to be good at the game rather than sacrifice your physical well being and ability to keep playing game that is your entire livelihood in a few years from now.

Please try to stay with me the whole way on this one and remember that not every critique of the Smash community is a personal attack on you before you respond to my post, since you seem to be having an issue with that.

The gamecube controller being a piece of shit may just be an opinion, but that still doesn't jive with the insistence that every player is required to use one because all other controllers are banned. That's sorta fucked up and bad for both players and the overall health of the community considering the hand issues being felt by literally all top players and I'm sure many lower tier players as well.

Post by: nachobro on June 19, 2018, 06:36:09 PM
Not really. Partially cause of the looming threat of a ban and partially cause they are wireless so there's inherent input lag. Also, at least locally, there was a period of confusion over the GC adapter using the USB ports and not having a place to plug in/sync the Pro controllers.

Man the more I see of this game, especially in the hands of pros fighting 1v1, the more I really do think this will be the ultimate Smash game.

Also, two pet theories I have:

1. Waluigi will be the one of the first DLC characters, if there's DLC at all. I would estimate the final roster is already locked in place and they're basically just tweaking/balancing things right now. IIRC Brawl went gold in October, two months before its December Japanese release. If that timeline holds true, there's only three months left until Ultimate goes gold. But with DLC, hope springs eternal, and not only has Reggie confirmed Sakurai will hear about all the Waluigi stuff in the west but Mario Tennis just came out, which is where his character started. I don't care either way, I'm actually good on Smash characters now, but it's just been something I've been thinking about.

2. There will be a story mode with cutscenes of some sort. Probably not as in-depth or self-serious as Subspace Emissary, but the Ridley trailer ends in a peculiar way I feel -- we see Ridley do his Final Smash on Samus, which blows her ship and her up, but then we cut back to CG and it's the same environment as the beginning of the trailer. She's also jumping out of the flames here (in ZSS form) and begins to counterattack Ridley. The trailer's first CG part didn't show Samus getting flamed in that environment, so it seems like a case of creative editing. I dunno, I feel like this is definitely teasing something, because there's otherwise no reason for the ending piece of CG to exist.

I'm mostly coming around to the new art style and models. Some of the improvements on some characters really look great, but for when the lighting catches some characters a certain way they look quite bad. I'm hoping it all gets smoothed over for release.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: nachobro on July 10, 2018, 03:51:26 PM
I like the look of most of those, not bad. I like that they made Ryu look more like SFV. Something about that Sonic model looks weird to me though. And the shot they picked for Cloud in the new game is awful. The slowly evolving Fox look to make him more and more realistic creeps me out. :lol

Also been playing some Lucina at weeklies when there isn't an SFV tournament and she's a lot more fun and a lot easier than either Peach or Robin. Shoulda got on her sooner
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on July 10, 2018, 04:15:39 PM
Speaking of Lucina, I'm going to try picking up Marth/her with Ultimate. I'm already practicing a bit with 3DS (I'm too lazy to hook my Wii U back up. :lol) Love how elegant swordplay looks and feels but the lack of projectiles is something I need to learn to deal with. 😬

PS- Fox is still pretty cartoony compared to his Melee iteration lol.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on July 10, 2018, 05:07:42 PM
Seems like all the characters have rim lighting which makes them really stand out compared to the background. Just look at the Jigglypuff comparison, sure she's also lighter in Ultimate but the lighting engine itself is making a world of difference. Not too shabby.

From what I've learned, they are pretty much the same except Luci is just "easy Marth" since she doesn't have to hit with the tip of the sword. I like her a lot cause it gives me a chance to work on other aspects of the character without having to be as good at spacing and she's a lot more consistent as well so she's easier for me to practice. Plus waifu. :heart

And I just meant the realistic fur stuff really. Something about it being applied to Nintendo characters seems weird to me and I can't explain why.

The only 17 unconfirmed stages from past games, and my notes.

64:
- Sector Z - Has a Melee equivalent in Corneria.
- Planet Zebes - Also has a Melee equivalent, but I'd still love seeing both of these back.

Melee:
- Ice Mountain - This stage always sucked, don't care.
- Mushroom Kingdom - The version from 64, plus Mushroom Kingdom 2 from Melee, are both included anyways.
- Mute City - Should be included.
- Flat Zone - Flat Zone X from Wii U is included and I can't tell the difference.
- Poke Floats - Should be included.

Brawl:
- Rumble Falls - The Brawl version of shitty Ice Mountain.
- Pictochat - Would love if this came back.
- Flat Zone 2 - Flat Zone X  from Wii U is included and I can't tell the difference.

3DS:
- Pac-Maze - Should be included.
- Rainbow Road - Should be included.

Wii U:
- Jungle Hijinx - Would love if this came back.
- Pyrosphere - Worst part of the stage was fucking Ridley and hazards can be turned off now, so no issues with this stage, but I understand why they wouldn't bring it back now that he's a full character.
- Woolly World - Another stage that was fine and I'd enjoy seeing return.
- Orbital Gate Assault - A fun stage but a bit bland.
- Miiverse - Basically Battlefield with graffiti. Don't care.

Overall, there's no "OMG I NEED THIS" stage I'd like to see anymore now that Fountain of Dreams is back. Poke Floats is probably closest and only because I know others who would be excited. What an incredible achievement -- 103 stages, goddamn.

They're basically fully remaking all the Melee stages (especially the backgrounds.) Some look much better (Jungle Japes, Corneria, Yoshi's Island, Planet Zebes), some look a little worse with the new lighting (I'm a bit fond for the more evenly lit versions of Temple, Brinstar Depths and Yoshi's Story), and others look basically the same just in higher res (aside from the backgrounds.)

Corneria almost looks TOO good compared to the old version. :lol Mushroom Kingdom 2 is almost unrecognizable, but I really dig the more faithful retro take on it.

No matter how they look though, I'm glad they're all in the game. Especially Fountain of Dreams. :heartbeat

- Sakurai (apparently correctly?) predicted no one would know who Richter is (I haven't even played the non-NES games and I know who he is :confused)
- Chrom was requested in Japan, Dark Samus overseas (duh)
- Echo fighers require more work than people assume
- Same for the key art for every character + 8 costume variations
- Porting over certain older stages took over a year of development work, due to how much they're bumping them up (see my previous post)
- Making Battlefield and Omega forms of stages isn't as easy as people may think either (which makes me personally lean towards "300+" being a more accurate stage count than "103")
- Ultimate's music takes up 25% of the space of Smash 4's, despite having many more tracks, due to improvements in compression tech (there is supposedly no loss of quality either, for the record)
- Some BS about kendo/judo influencing the Squad Strike mode
- Final Smash meter was specifically highlighted as being influenced by traditional fighting games
- They're using the Smash 4 DLC survey when deciding which new characters to include (Ridley and K. Rool were the near the top IIRC, possibly the highest ranking ones that didn't get implemented in Smash 4)

Shadow instead of Tails or someone better makes sense in terms of marketing and probably "impact," but I'm not 100% satisfied with that either. But like I said, small potatoes. :P

That's not something to be celebrating.  That's a major step backwards.

Would be fine with it if you could always use your rules...but you can't.  Dumb, dumb, dumb. 

Huh? You set the rules and it tries to find matches based on that.

Much better than being locked into 3 stock or whatever.

I thought it said that the game will select the rules randomly from who you get matched up with.   :-\  Please tell me I heard it wrong.

There's also a toggle for "custom rules." I assume turning this off matches you to others who have done the same, and defaults the sorting to just locality and Global Smash Power, AKA... ranked matches.

I'm considering Plant the one "weird" character they're doing this time around (like Mr. G&W, ROB, and Duck Hunt), even though he's not in the base game.

BTW if you preorder you get him for free (if anyone's only reading the thread.)

My eyes kind of glazed over when the spirit stuff came up and the online options has me concerned...but I'm still hyped for this.  Would rather have had shitloads more characters, even if they're just skins/echoes, then "spirits."  And so many assist trophies that I wish were fully-playable characters.   :'(  But you can't really complain with 75 playable characters, either.

I'm probably going to be impatient enough to buy the Japanese version digitally and get it a day or two earlier than 'Murica.  It's listed as having multiple languages, including English, so that means it should count as being compatible with the U.S. eShop DLC.

Online actually had me interested. I like the idea of just setting the options you want and having it match on that. Basically just turn off items, set a stock and let it fly. But the thing about "we'll try to match you as best we can" is a bit worrying. I think it'll all be fine once you can reach the "Elite Battle" rank cause that'll be the competitive scene settings basically.

Yup, that's what worries me.  And that's why this is stupid.  Just have it be like the previous game.  If it ain't broke...

They did it with the last Smash, too.  Not unexpected but would have been cool if it were all free like how they've supported Splatoon 2 and ARMS.

Smash has had gatcha leanings for a while. Trophy dispenser in Melee, and the first introduction of stickers in Brawl. That was a decade ago.

Also, has it been confirmed Ultimate's stickers can be used online? If so, I would bet on there being a toggle to opt out of it, like custom rules.

The Japanese name of the story mode is the exact same as the name of the first Japanese Kirby game in reverse.

The inverse of World of Light's Japanese name can be read as "Hoshī no Kābī" ("Kirby of the Stars"), the Japanese name of the Kirby series.

Subspace Emissary was basically an extremely poor Kirby clone already so this doesn't surprise me. Maybe Sakurai is planning this story mode to be the fulfillment of his whole career.

In fact, Sakurai now looks younger than he did when he made Brawl

It seems that Sakurai has settled with Smash after Meteos didn't set the world on fire.

Also, the last time Nintendo said to him that they were doing a Smash without him he said he wanted back in.

Sakurai's life is basically developing Smash Bros games for 2 to 3 years and then write Famitsu columns for 2 years until the next Nintendo system hits so he can start again.

https://kotaku.com/nintendo-says-it-will-remove-racist-native-american-ani-1830282076

It's amusing to me imagining the Japanese perspective on this, specifically that of whoever was in charge of deciding to include this move in the game. In a company as sensitive and overly family friendly as Nintendo, a Native American attack didn't raise red flags. And I don't knock the guy for it, it's not really his culture, and probably someone at NoA should have caught it way ahead of time, but like I said... amusing.

Like I imagine him being told about this removal because of people in the US, and just going, "Huh. I guess I see it."

Chun Li maybe, but we already have two third-party characters from that franchise.

AssCreed LMAO FOH

Lara Croft I could see, especially post-Bayo, but I'm not missing her much either.

The next DLC characters were picked by Nintendo. So it's probably characters they want to push.

- Piranha Plant (the 'hook' of we're doing all sort of crazy characters by this season pass!)
- Fire Emblem Three Houses protagonist (of course)
- Eevee (obviously)
- Pauline (seems to be the new 'Rosalina' that is rejoining the Nintendo family)

And finally a third party one. Maybe Rayman.

I'm contemplating buying a Switch and playing this. :-[

Preloading this now.  Had some J-eShop credit so went for that version- it runs in English so should be the same game on all shops (I.E. season pass for the American version will work) anyway.  But should be playable on Thursday.
i should do this too, but i probably can't use an american cc on there

You can't, but it's easy to buy eShop credits off places like Play-Asia and the like or just buy the digital version off Amazon.jp. 

The nice thing about Switch games is that the eShop and Nintendo's site both tell you what languages games offer.  99% of the time a title that has English will be fully-compatible with the American release and the same DLC will work.  The only game I've played where this was not the case was Gal Gun 2.  But it has worked for every Nintendo-published game I've purchased off the eShop with English and Japanese language options available. 

Sometimes games will pop up on the J-eShop weeks or even months earlier than 'Murica and I just don't get why they don't get simultaneous releases when all the languages are available.

good to know. so i'd just be able to get the game on thursday morning? very tempting. i'm sorta waiting to see when a local store gets the game in first and if i can't get it from them weds/thurs then i might just go this route.

Quote
On all those nuanced changes from Smash 4 to Ultimate, Brockman expands: “In isolation, many of (the changes) seem odd, but together it all works: The short-hop attack penalty makes no sense without faster jumps, which calls for less landing lag to flow smoothly, which would be problematic without the upgraded shield parry, which could contribute to overly defensive options without dodge decay, which would penalize air dodges too much without the directional option, which requires cast-wide move speed increases to keep punishable, which would make edge guarding lopsided if not for balloon knockback. It just, all fits.”

Pretty neat to read.

Good article overall too, worth a read.

I enjoy playing as a LOT of fighters, lol. I could have even included Bowser, Dedede, Pikachu, Sonic, Mewtwo and Bowser Jr. here too...

Basically, Smashdown was made for me. :lol

Anyways:

Richter: The most interesting/fun-looking of the newcomers to me from a gameplay perspective, and Castlevania 1 has been one of my top 3 favorite NES games for years. Looking forward to making him my new main, and his white+pink look is fucking fabulous. Edit- I know Simon is from Castlevania 1 and Richter is from Rondo of Blood/Dracula X, but while Castlevania 1 got me into the series, I think Richter looks better in this game. :P

Marth: Never played his archetype before but always wanted to. Apparently Marth is really good in Ultimate which unfortunately does sway my opinion slightly. :P

Villager: My Smash 4 main. I may switch between him and Isabelle depending on how much I like her changes, but in general Villager was the Smash addition I always wanted (and they even kept my preferred look for him, instead of the lankier New Leaf "people.") Moveset is fun and interesting and he has some of the best taunts in the game.

Lucas: The Smash 4 version of Marth for me; didn't play him or Ness much, but wanted to learn, and I'm a fan of Earthbound Zero and still pray for a US release of Mother 3. Lucas is also the only Amiibo I own.

Luigi: My 64/Melee/Brawl main. Didn't like some of the changes in Smash 4 and I don't like some of the changes I see in Ultimate either, but when I play him it's like riding a bike. He's a very standard, fundamental fighter, and I know his moveset like the back of my hand, so playing him is always really natural.

Toon Link: The funnest Link. I was overjoyed when Young Link was replaced by his far superior Wind Waker descendant (or whatever). Unfortunately ever since his first appearance in Brawl he's become less and less "Toon" which is lame but whatever.

Piranha Plant: Looks like a lot of fun (and much more up my alley than past "weird" chars G&W, ROB, and Duck Hunt) but I'll make a final call when he's actually released.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: nachobro on December 04, 2018, 02:58:50 PM
Plant does look interesting. I'll definitely give it a shot once it drops.

For me, I picked Lucina cause she's basically babby Marth and everyone said she's good for noobs so that seems perfect (I found the Marth spacing stuff to be a little difficult), but I may eventually swap to Roy cause I enjoy playing up in someone's face. I played Peach with the Daisy costume since Melee so Daisy is an obvious pick, and though I'm not normally into big bodies I've been wanting K Rool for quite a while so I'm gonna give him some time and see what I think of him.

I was playing a lot of Robin in 4 as well, but he really wasn't very good so that was disheartening. I may get back to him in Ultimate but I'm in no rush.

I'm looking forward to checking out the new characters and the DLC of Smash Bros. U that I never bothered with.
Smash Bros. U was my least favorite so hopefully this can rekindle my love for the series.

It looks really great.

Yeah the few times I played as Marth/Lucina in 4, I preferred Lucina. She also has that fantastic mask alt costume. But I want to put dat work into the "advanced" version. If it doesn't work out I'll switch back to Lucina. :P
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: nachobro on December 04, 2018, 03:20:00 PM
Yeah she's probably just gonna be my starter to learn that sword style of character. The way I had it explained to me was that Lucina is the "default" sword character, Marth has a bit more spacing cause he does more damage with the tip of his sword, and Roy is the rushdown version as he does more damage with the hilt.

Chrom fits in there somehow too but I think he's related in style to Roy?

edit: here's what i saw

Quote
Roy is a Semi-Clone of Marth.

He has similar moves to Marth like Counter and the Dancing Blade.

Chrom is Roy’s echo who has Ike’s up special.

Marth’s Sword does more damage at the tip, Roy does more damage at the base, and Lucina and Chrom are anywhere on the sword but damage is fixed.

Who’s better? It depends on your playstyle.

Prefer Attacking from a distance? Go Marth.

Prefer being close and aggressive? Go Roy.

Prefer Marth’s Move set but don’t like the distance? Go Lucina.

Like Roy’s aggressiveness but not his close range? Go Chrom. (Warning, his recovery isn’t as good as Roy’s so you’ll have to rely on air dodging more than Roy would but in trade you get Roy’s move set without being forced to be close)

Sounds about right. They probably should stop adding FE characters tbh...

Also, theory: Monster Hunter will be one of the DLC fighters, coinciding with a Monster Hunter World for Switch announcement.

Rathalos and a story mode-only MH stage are already in the base game, so... :thinking

Post by: Nintex on December 04, 2018, 03:52:18 PM
I forgot about Sylux.

if that thing is indeed a big part of MP4 a good chance Nintendo wants to promote the character through Smash.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 04, 2018, 03:54:01 PM
That would cause a lot of headscratching, maybe even more than Chrome. :lol

Also:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQsINcqg-UI

Backrolls are 5 frames worse than front rolls in this game, a change from Smash 4. Basically backrolls have been nerfed to curb defensive play (like the rest of the engine it seems.)

Everything I'm hearing about Simon/Richter makes me want to play them even more.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 04, 2018, 04:04:45 PM
Also I sorta predicted there would probably be a new story mode, not the only one of course but I didn't see anyone even thinking about it when I made my post in early July.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UepuIYnutdY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UepuIYnutdY)

Man the more I see of this game, especially in the hands of pros fighting 1v1, the more I really do think this will be the ultimate Smash game.

Also, two pet theories I have:

1. Waluigi will be the one of the first DLC characters, if there's DLC at all. I would estimate the final roster is already locked in place and they're basically just tweaking/balancing things right now. IIRC Brawl went gold in October, two months before its December Japanese release. If that timeline holds true, there's only three months left until Ultimate goes gold. But with DLC, hope springs eternal, and not only has Reggie confirmed Sakurai will hear about all the Waluigi stuff in the west but Mario Tennis just came out, which is where his character started. I don't care either way, I'm actually good on Smash characters now, but it's just been something I've been thinking about.

2. There will be a story mode with cutscenes of some sort. Probably not as in-depth or self-serious as Subspace Emissary, but the Ridley trailer ends in a peculiar way I feel -- we see Ridley do his Final Smash on Samus, which blows her ship and her up, but then we cut back to CG and it's the same environment as the beginning of the trailer. She's also jumping out of the flames here (in ZSS form) and begins to counterattack Ridley. The trailer's first CG part didn't show Samus getting flamed in that environment, so it seems like a case of creative editing. I dunno, I feel like this is definitely teasing something, because there's otherwise no reason for the ending piece of CG to exist.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x0NdTsmWv8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x0NdTsmWv8)

I also still think Waluigi will be a DLC character too.

Also you mean the same Square that's barely letting Nintendo even doing anything with FF in Smash already? :thinking
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: nachobro on December 04, 2018, 09:48:25 PM
yeah square is an awful example regarding smash. they allowed one character (Cloud), one stage (Midgar), two songs (both from ff7), and two spirits (both Cloud) in the game

and the two Cloud spirits are the only things that weren't already in smash 4 :lol
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 04, 2018, 10:19:24 PM
It's not just a "Sakurai comment." It's a core tenet of the series. It's "the biggest videogame crossover ever." Characters have to have originated in a game. I don't see Goku happening.

I'm not going to comment on third parties, except that the DLC roster has been locked in for over a month now, and third-party collaborations take a notoriously long time to negotiate. There assuredly will be at least one or two of them from the five DLC set, but having the majority of them be Capcom, Konami, and Square? Nah.

Waluigi is the last "big" American meme character to make it in, after Ridley and King K. Rool -- both of whom are debuting in this game. And not to put stock in anything he says, but Reggie at least has said Sakurai would be told about the fan desire (http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/06/sakurai_is_well_aware_that_you_want_waluigi_in_smash_bros_ultimate_says_reggie) (and this was months ago, around E3, right around when they'd be deciding the DLC roster.) And this is the game Sakurai's finally caving on those long-asked-for characters despite his own personal reservations (Ridley was too big for three games in a row, and now it's suddenly somehow not an issue...) And no, Goku's not comparable.

I don't care either way, but I'm just reading some tea leaves.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 04, 2018, 10:31:00 PM
I don't know, I see Waluigi as an Assist Trophy that doesn't have any strong identities with music/stages/moves. Really all he has is memes.

All the DLC picks for Wii U had really strong identities attached.

Ryu, Bayo, Corrin, and Cloud all have tons of detail thrown into their design and representation.

Waluigi is just "meme".

You're forgetting Mewtwo, Roy, Lucas, etc.? AKA the initial batch? Not exactly brimming with "strong identities" as far as Smash movesets go, but they were fan favorites that were easy to implement as the first couple DLC packs because their movesets were already defined by past games. Assist Trophies aren't the same, but some work on their assets, animations, damage, hitboxes, etc. *is* done.

The only thing screwing Waluigi over is his Assist Trophy status, but in code there's no reason not to have a line like

if (is_any_player_using_waluigi()) {
  disallow_waluigi_assist_trophy();
} else {
  dont();
}

Or fuck it, don't even bother. This is the same company that concocted "Goouigi" for Luigi's Mansion 3DS multiplayer. I doubt they care much about "canon" in multiplayer, so who cares if there's a Waluigi trophy and Waluigi player running around at the same time? You can put 8 of the same playable character on-screen at any time. :lol
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 04, 2018, 10:41:01 PM
I certainly hope so. If Waluigi is a character, it would be a stretch to see what they could possibly include as a stage, music, etc. to make it worthwhile, but then again, this is Smash. A game where you can beat the crap out of Solid Snake with a fucking duck/dog duo.

The Smash dev teams usually don't lack for creativity and constantly pull from really deep, obscure game trivia.

Not quite, Nacho- when you quit out of a mode, you get challenged by the CPU and if you win, you get the character.  I mention this because it means you won't get a bunch of characters at once so that reset trick might be the fastest way to do it.

ah okay, thats different from smash 4 where youd just get a challenge post vs match

reddit says
Quote
So the method is simple, you go into a stock match, with 1 stock, on "Moray Towers", you walk up and down the tower once, then you finish the match, unlock a character, close the software(completely close, not just go to home menu), re-open it and repeat."

but that doesn't sound very fun :lol so i'll just play a bunch of classic mode instead

This works  :D

It seems that you have to keep doing it or the trick stops working, however- I lost to a new character CPU battle and when I went to a different menu, it stopped working.  Doing the 10 minute wait again...
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: bork on December 07, 2018, 08:38:31 AM
You have to quit out and go back in each time you unlock someone- probably didn't need to redo another 10 minute battle but whatever...this is pretty quick.

To summarize:

1. Create a Smash battle ruleset for 10 minutes. 
2. Do a two player battle.  You don't need to do anything here and can just let the controllers sit.
3. When the match finishes, you'll get a character battle against a new character.
4. Win or lose, hit the home button and close the software with X after the battle is over.
5. Go back into the game and create a new battle ruleset for 1 stock.
6. Play a 2P match and have one character lose (pick a stage with pitfalls like Mushroom Kingdom II)
7. You'll get a new CPU challenge match immediately after!
8. Repeat step 4 and go back into the game and keep doing this over and over again.

We were getting it every match with one or two exceptions, though we were playing without the express purpose of just getting it over for unlocks.

This world of light thing is pretty awesome. It seems to have much more going for it than the trailer showed.
The music in this video game  :delicious

Also, the graphics really stand out for me. Smash Bros. game were always pretty (Melee on the Cube, Brawl on the Wii) but with Smash Bros. Wii U it just looked like an up-ressed Wii-game there was nothing impressive about it even though the first Smash in HD should've been exciting. This game however looks incredibly clean and sharp on my 4K OLED and the new shaders mix the different styles very well together. They've also nailed the animations of all the characters I've unlocked so far
:rejoice

Just like with Mario and Zelda Nintendo has hit the ball out of the park with another one of their big games.

I don't know how to play smash, but somehow I beat the single player in the Wii one and so I'm going through world of light in this and I dunno some of this stuff is rage inducing. Like I'm not particularly good at Smash and part of that is the series has always controlled really fucking weird to me even after 20 years. Feels like a bunch of the time I'm standing next to someone and I punch in the wrong direction and if I try to tap towards them to punch in the right direction I dash to the side. I also have trouble not-dashing when I want to just move around and trouble landing jump attacks. I get how the combat stuff works but the movement has always felt weirdly stiff and easy to input wrong commands.

Anyhow in world of light I'm doing fine most of the time but if it's an HP battle I usually find it fucking hard. Like the first fight against Bayonetta in HP battle where she keeps fucking sliding in your face and even when I block and counter she hits me during my recovery frames from countering wtf. That fight took me like an hour. If it wasn't an HP battle it'd probably be ok because I seem to do a lot better when it's just about knocking the other player out of the arena, but HP battles are brutal. Especially because the cpu always has more HP than you.

The other fight early on that took me like 30-40 mins and was controller throwing bullshit was fighting Lucerina + Shulk with DEF DOWN. Like 2 on 1 is already bullshit, but the DEF DOWN thing just makes it even worse. The CPU actually blocks and both being sword people they keep hitting me from range. I even tried turning it down to easy and it didn't do shit for that fight. Eventually after 30 mins of retries I finally managed to kill one of them and then I played careful and beat the other, but man this mode feels like it has crazy difficulty spikes. I do fights like this for 30 mins of retries and then I do a bunch of fights after and win no problem. Idk.

The game seems pretty nice and content-filled, my only complaint is the load times. Especially when you keep dying for 30-60 mins on the same fight in SP WHY DOES IT HAVE TO LOAD FOR A FEW SECONDS EACH TIME?? Like it makes no sense since it's just resetting it wtf. Otherwise yeah I just kinda hate the controls in Smash, but that's more it just not clicking with me.

How many more do you need? You know that you can only rematch a few periodically, right?

Yeah and getting there- 60 unlocked.  That IGN video Tasty posted explains a lot- I was just letting characters sit there most of the time.

If you lost the new challenger battle, just quit out of the game right when you lose and go back in.  The battle will happen again after you do another match.

Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Bebpo on December 08, 2018, 01:38:02 PM
So I tried in handheld mode and the analog feels completely different than the pro controller I was using last night? If I push left or right in handheld the character runs, but doesn’t dash, but on the pro controller whenever I’d try that the character would dash 90% of the time and it was really hard to not dash.

One thing I’ve not got about Smash ever is why they assign multiple movement commands to one input. Like there is a dedicated jump button so why does pressing UP jump too? This just makes me accidentally jump sometimes when doing an UP+special/smash attack. Why is dash/run both L/R when you could just make dash double tap LL or RR like every other fighting game. And now this has parries but they gotta be weird and it’s letting go of block instead of hitting block when the attack connects like every other fighter. It’s like Smash does it’s best to say throw all your muscle memory skills from real fighting games away because we’re gonna be different just because. It would also be nice if Smash had an actual playable tutorial to teach all the stuff.

As a single player game and being bad at smash I find this game pretty frustrating honestly. Probably lose like 1/3rd of the challenger battles too which is annoying for unlocks.

So you have been mostly ignoring the Spirit system like I thought. That's why you're struggling through World of Light. You have to level up your Spirits. The higher their level, the higher your attack/defense will be when you equip them. Fighting an enemy with a power level of 13,500 while you're only at like 3,000 will make the fight much more difficult.t

Yes. You need the adapter though, I think it's $20.

Otherwise four Pro Controllers should suffice for a normal group of 4.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Bebpo on December 08, 2018, 04:55:17 PM
So people like the Switch Pro Controller for this game? Also when I was playing my B button on my pro controller started getting stuck down :| It's not that old and these pro controller ain't cheap. Gonna look and see if there's a self-fix for that. I had the same issue on the R1 button on my launch PS4 controller that I fixed watching a vid for that kinda sticking button stuff (aka wedge it off and clean it and grease it).

Also are there any alternative control schemes that might make it easier for someone new to Smash to get used to the movement? I saw someone on Era mentioned changing jump from Y to the left shoulder button. I was thinking maybe Smash controls would be more intuitive if I changed jump to B like a platformer and have A be smash attacks and Y be specials?

And one other things about the weird controls in Smash that I forgot to include in my last rant on them. So when I'm on a platform and I want to do a D+special or D+smash attack, I keep dropping down from the platform (and sometimes into pits and shit killing me). Can you not safely do D+special attacks on platforms you can go down through or something? How do you even go down from a platform? Just press D on it?

I really wish Smash with all it's billions of things have a fucking interactive playable tutorial like Arc Sys games and stuff. Smash is supposed to be this super mainstream game for everyone but it feels like if you weren't there playing it on N64/GC it's always been hard to get into. I played it at a few parties on N64/GC but never actually bought one and put a few hours into it until the Wii version (and I skipped the Wii U one, so this is only the 2nd Smash I've bought).
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 08, 2018, 04:59:04 PM
For my controls, I have up = jump set to off, jump set to Y and grab set to X on the GC controller. On the Pro Controller I also have L mapped to jump, and X/Y flipped compared to my GC setup. I also have C stick set to tilt attacks and not Smashes but that's personal preference...

Most newbies don't have a problem with up = jump but it does limit your options.

Smash is just as easy to get into as it was in Melee. You're just getting old. :P

Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Tasty on December 08, 2018, 05:45:43 PM
No Smash is A + max directional tilt at the same time, although you can turn this off too. Tilt attack would be any direction at any level of tilt + A.

Tilt attacks on the C stick are good because they do the direction + attack in one input.

Ok, I changed the controls to what you said Tasty and then I tried online and started just playing random matches with people and that was actually really helpful to start getting the hang of it.

Post by: Bebpo on December 08, 2018, 08:20:13 PM
Also I'm still confused about the naming of attacks.

Directions/Neutral + A = standard attack
Flick direction + A (or charge it) = Smash attack = Tilt Attack (are Smash Attack and Tilt Attack the same thing?)
Directions/Neutral + B = special attack
Shield button = shield
Shield button + A = grab
Shield button + down = feint
Let go of shield button = can parry if right before attack hits
Flick left or right when shielding = dodge left or right, if you dodge towards an enemy you'll go through them and turn around mid-dodge to be facing them, back dodges do not change the direction you're facing

Analog left/right = walk/run
Hard analog/flick analog left/right = run, can be stopped with D, can do sliding attack in run
D on a platform = flip down off it

Final Smash = hit A in neutral when glowing

Does that cover all available general moves for characters?
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: curly on December 08, 2018, 09:28:35 PM
neutral a = jab

run+a = dash attack

a+direction not at same time = tilt

a+direction at same time = smash

shield+down=spot dodge (brief invincibility)

on gc controller z is also grab. not sure about pro. push direction to throw. different directions=different throws
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Bebpo on December 08, 2018, 09:43:43 PM
Wait, so you can assign the a+direction not at the same time / tilt attacks to instant easy pull offs on the right stick? I have the right stick on smash attacks which I thought were tilt attacks. Hmm, I might go for that because the tilt attacks are the only moves I have trouble pulling off regularly since sometimes it does the smash attack in that direction instead. That and dashing when I want to run are the two biggest mistakes I'm making. Turning off up for jump fixed that one for me.

Also with Mario sometimes I do a jumping attack and it does a double roundhouse kick and other times it does a shorter range smash punch. I've tried messing around with it and can't figure out what causes which one to come out?

So far I've only been using Mario/Link/Kirby. Haven't tried any other characters first. Want to get decent at playing using those three first. With Mario I feel like his up+b is his most useful attack except the delay at the end coming down, with Kirby I feel like it's his down+b transform move which seems great, and Link just seems really balanced with good reach some nice up+b/up+smash and l/r+smash attacks plus arrows/boomerang can be helpful and bomb occasionally is. I think I do the best with Link so far out of those 3.

I'm using pro controller, tap to jump off, ZL set to jump, Y set to special, tilts on right stick, and stick sensitivity on high. Stick sensitivity really made the entire game feel better, not sure why the default is medium.

Melee and 64 are probably harder to get into because the inputs are less forgiving
true although it does have z-cancelling (which most people don't use because nintendo didn't bother to tell anyone about it even tho it totally changes the game :lol)

Also, the classic mode is really good.

For some reason it works really well.

Yeah the amount of care put into Classic Mode is amazing. I've done about a dozen of the chars so far. Ryu's was hilarious. :lol Wonder if Ken's is similar.

Link and Kirby's end with a fricking one-off boss AI just for their modes. o_0

Great return to form for Classic Mode after the Wii U's weird ass version and the barebones 3DS trek.

Spent a bit of time playing around with my nephew yesterday and I am getting more into it, I think I am overthinking the game. I think I try and play this game like something it isn't versus what it is. At least to the point where I can control it.  :lol

I think changing the controls to be more 'platformer' style may help, they seemed to be ok after I switched it last night, but didn't test it out much. up=jump and moved the jump button to the bottom-most one. Also have switched to pro controller. I wish I could add movement to the d-pad.

Also, the classic mode is really good.

The Blanka theme even works great with the stage they have it on. Very creative...there is a shitton of content and they still go out of their way to use every part of the buffalo.

Agreed on the AI being insane sometimes.  Not sure what causes it, but some bouts I'd have when unlocking fighters were absolutely unfair. The AI was brutal and gave me little chance to do anything.  If I reset and faced them again it would be back to something more normal 1-2 tries later.

Also, if it matters to you bork, the refresh thing doesn't work for me when it comes to rematching old challengers.

Yeah, it only works if you lose the first time and immediately quit out.

I finally got everyone unlocked last night- they unlock in a set order and I when I was down to just Palutena left, I did a classic mode match and got her at the end.

As soon as you lose (you can still be in the animation where your character is flying off-screen), just hit the home button and then X to close the game.  Go back in and repeat.

For the least amount of frustration and time-wasting, I'd probably just do classic battle on the easiest setting.

Went to a Smash fest today and had a good time. Lots of people to play with (ended up being about 20 total) and I got in a bunch of casual matches. Got beat a bunch but I came away with feeling okay about it because I was mainly just trying to get my bearings and see how I was handling the pro controller. Was mostly using Lucina though I did break out Daisy and Chrom(!) who is pretty fun too but that Up+B recovery is annoying af :lol

There just seems to be a lot of effort put into literally
Every mode. Classic mode campaigns seem to have a lot of unique elements. There’s a ton of stuff to unlock in world of light.

It’s just a really well put together package. As someone who’s not a huge Smash fan, it really exceeded my expectations.

Any Yoshi tips? I haven't been able to do shit with him. I died multiple times with him on the default intensity setting on classic mode, and I barely beat his challenger. But I'm nowhere near what you'd call an advanced player.
His up A and down A are devastating.

His B moves are strong too but the egg rolling or down B ground pound can become suicidal very quickly.

One of the easy advantages for low level play are projectiles. They are much more useful in this game than before and one of the few advantages that not-Fire Emblem characters have.

I'm also thinking about remapping the C-Stick to tilt moves instead of smash moves. It opens up a lot of more combo's.

Tilt stick is the way to go. Tap jump off too.

Been having a lot of trouble re-learning how to short hop and so been thinking about mapping jump to Z (or L/R on Pro Controller.)
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Beezy on December 24, 2018, 11:10:53 PM
Short hop is easy in this. Jump button + attack at the same time. I have them right next to each other. I was having trouble trying to do it how I did in previous games, but this way is much easier in Ultimate.

Also, this is the first Smash where I mapped tilt to the C-stick. Don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

Post by: Tasty on December 24, 2018, 11:35:40 PM
Tilt stick is a revelation. Did it with Smash 3DS and haven't turned back since.

Didn't know that about jump+attack but I deliberately have been trying to avoid meta-related stuff for at least a month.

In my experience Smash is best learned just playing the game. It's fairly easy to learn but difficult to master.
Once you're good enough to clear out a few classic runs without dying and figuring out which character you like you can dive into the more advanced techniques.

A good character to start with his Kirby. He can fly like he does in the Kirby games so his recovery is good. Mario is also a good starter.
They have very distinct moves so you get a hang of all the different types of moves a character can do.

The Fire Emblem characters and characters introduced later are a bit harder to pick up and play because there's certain combo's or characteristics you need to find out about first.
Marth for example deals the most damage with the tip of his blade.

There's references in other games, Mario Oddessey for example had a ton of winks to previous Mario game and BOTW referenced different Zelda games.
But nothing quite as crazy as they do with Smash Bros. .

I love the character animations in this game. Every character moves and behaves exactly the way they should.

Might pick up Ryu and Ken too.  It's fun doing SF stuff.   :)  Thought I'd love Simon and Richter but I dunno.  And I like Pokemon Trainer too.  Three characters in one!

I really like playing as Piranha Plant for some reason haha, it's always satisfying to hit someone with the spike ball puffed at them.
Unlocked Ryu and tried him. Was cool. Surprised at how many moves they gave him! Also kinda crazy there's like every character's theme song from SF2 in the music.

I'm finding when I just wanna relax I turn Smash on and run another character through classic mode and then unlock a new character after. The spirit world thing isn't for me, but a quick run through classic mode is enough time to get the hang of a new character and learn their moves.

I even play a few matches online here and there and find it really fun. Heck, more fun than a lot of traditional fighting games online. I'm not particularly good at it but I still come in 1st a decent amount in 4p matches which is always satisfying. Even when I lose though I have fun and sometimes watching the final 2 people remaining play is pretty interesting to spectate and I learn a lot. Tonight there was a match where the last 2 characters were Sonic and King Dedede and man Dedede seemed way too OP broken. Sonic player was good but was like fighting uphill battle the entire time. Dedede hit hard with his hammer and pretty big range.

Anyhow, at this rate I may actually unlock everyone someday. Good game. Only downside is when I play online like every couple matches has one point where the match just freezes and connection waits for a few seconds then resumes. Netcode could definitely be better.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Bebpo on February 18, 2019, 02:15:37 PM
Getting closer to the end in unlocking. Have 59 unlocked so far. The difficulty level of the challengers has gotten to the point where I almost never expect to beat them on the first attempt anymore :| Sometimes I get lucky.

I'm mostly switching between classic mode runs and spirit board matches. Even with lvl.99 spirits I can barely beat any ACE 3-star spirit and I've yet to be able to beat a 4-star legend that has like 13-14k level.


I think I'm getting better at playing after like 20 hours, but there's still some basic stuff that eludes me. A lot of times when I get lifted in the air I'll keep getting fucked on my way down no matter what I do. What's the best way to get back safely to the platform after being hit up? I'm pretty much just using normal Link for fighting challengers/spirit board enemies because he seems the easiest and relying mostly on his dash + A leaping attack to knock sideways and his up + A 3-strike smash attack to hit up since both have good reach and damage.

Also when someone is hanging on the ledge what can you do as an attacker?

I just found out Smash has combos  :o

Was trying to figure out how to get Jigglypuff’s rest move to connect and came across combo vids with actual fighting game jump kick -> combo. Never knew that was a thing in smash. Thought the game was just footsie based with single hit moves.

I suck at jumping though so probably won’t be able to use them in a match. I can’t do that non-float jump without the new two jump buttons way but that means hitting a face button + trigger to just jump and it feels too weird. Wish you could assign short jump to just one button.

On the ledge thing Bork posted I don’t get how to grab the ledge without jumping off and trying to grab up onto it and the person moves off it by then? Also I don’t get when invincibility frames are when people are hit. Sometimes I can just run up and hit people on the ground off the platform but sometimes I can’t idk.

Still going through classic mode. Captain Falcon seemed really good with his quick down special slide kick that knocks people far.

Post by: nachobro on February 21, 2019, 09:02:54 AM
for what its worth, Smash has very few "real" combos so it's fair that you never found that out. most combos don't work in real play because of a mechanic called SDI (smash directional influence) which lets you move the stick to alter your character's position in hitstun frames (aka the little freeze you get  after being hit by an attack). This lets people get out of multi-hit attacks and many combos.

also what controller are you using? if it's the pro you may want to train yourself to use L jumps, I've found that much easier. I just set both the L button and trigger to jump and it's much easier for me to both jump and use the shorthop shortcut.

Yep, in the section where you can create a name/profile you can customize your controls for that name and turn off tap jump (what they call jumping with the stick) or vibration or w/e.

(https://dotesports-media.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/08100033/screenshot-Screenshot-2018-12-08-16-00-07.png)

personally i set jump to both the left button AND left trigger, because if you hit two jump buttons at once it's a shortcut for a "short hop" aka baby jump and it keeps all my movement options on the left side of the pad.

for tutorial video i recommend checking out IzawSmash on Youtube. He's got a few videos that that start at the absolute basics and then move up from there

On the subject, I've always enjoyed and followed a lot of Smashers over the years including Hbox and Zero (and Armada), but these days I'm pretty much just cheering Leffen lol. (He's had a great character arc.)

I popped in the game to try out Joker and did a run through his classic mode. They did a real nice job with him and his stage and music/costumes. Not surprising since every guest is really well done in these games, but yeah very cool. If the next one really is a Dragon Quest character and they do all this stuff for DQ, gonna be nice. I don't mind the wait between characters on the season pass if they put this much quality into them.

I don't know if you keep up with competitive melee but it's been pretty  :whew lately. Wizzrobe won the supermajor two tourneys ago with Captain Falcon, and nobody had won one with him since 2005 or so, and then Axe won the most recent one with Pikachu, which has never happened before. I wouldn't be surprised if Amsa the Yoshi player won something big soon either. Kind of a shame that this is the year Melee isn't at EVO because the scene has never been more interesting in the time I've been watching it.

Hayabusa would be a good one, Koei Tecmo is probably the last major Japanese publisher without any representation, the early NG games were iconic NES titles, he has a pretty distinct move set (the Art of the Fire Wheel and such).

I think Crash will probably end up being DLC, I'd like Lara as well. Them and Master Chief are probably the most iconic western game characters.

The version 4.0.0 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and “Challenger Pack 2” add-on, which includes Hero from the Dragon Quest series as a playable character and can be purchased individually or with the “Fighters Pass,” will launch later today, Nintendo announced.
Quote
Along with the release of Hero later today, a free software update to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also be available, which adds an in-game online tourney mode, a “Very Easy” setting in the single-player Adventure mode and the ability to predict the winner in Spectate mode, among other features.

I always thought Kyo was SNK's mascot since he's the Ryu of KoF. I actually like playing as Kyo and his hold the flame super is pretty cool, but character-design-wise he's really vanilla.

But I saw in the era thread an SNK popularity poll and Terry's #1 with Kyo way down at #6. More surprising was Nakoruru was #3 and the top ranked female character, even above Mai at #4. Didn't realize Nakoruru had a following.

I'm ok with basically any SNK character outside Kyo. I mean even Iori would be fine.

They don't really have a "Ryu," but I guess Kyo is kind of close to that what with KOF eclipsing Fatal Fury and Art Of Fighting.  In most countries it's more Terry who is popular.  SNK even tried to get rid of Kyo and Iori as main characters in KOF at one point (with '99, making K' the new main), but that didn't work at all, lol. 

I'm surprised that Nakoruru placed higher on a poll than Athena- she generally has been the most popular character they have up until recently, I guess.

Don’t wanna compete just want to bop those smash dorks at the local who can’t or refuse answer basic ass  questions like,”so tell me about how defense works in smash please. It starts with barrier, right? What’s the benefit of movement vs barrier and what are the limitations of barrier?”

They always look at me funny for asking a basic ass question of smash play. It’s so ducking weird.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: thetylerrob on September 04, 2019, 09:05:12 PM
Movement is more important than blocking but blocking is also important. Grabs beat block like in fighting games, but grabs are stubby af on most characters that don't have an obvious long range grab. Just try playing Smash lol it's pretty fun even casually.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: Himu on September 04, 2019, 09:06:52 PM
So barrier is a block? Does it have meter or time limit?

I’ve tried playing smash but don’t have my own gc controller to play with folks.
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: thetylerrob on September 04, 2019, 09:15:03 PM
Yeah barrier is block but it has its own hurtbox and starts shrinking the longer you block and the more it gets hit. The shield regenerates while you aren't blocking and it's pretty fast. You can control where the shield is held by holding block and using the left stick. Any part of your characters hurt box that isn't covered by the shield can still be hit; so if you shield a bunch of times and your opponent tries to hit you with a low you'll have to push down while blocking to block whatever the hitbox of their attack is.

Also in the new smash you can do a SF3 style parry, I'm not totally sure how it works but I get it a lot with negative edge from my block inputs and it's pretty easy to react to the animation and get a punish if you parry a close range move.

Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: nachobro on September 04, 2019, 09:34:25 PM
smash is so movement heavy and there's so many options that honestly blocking is at the end of the priority list. if you are being forced to stand still that's a problem  :lol

smash parry is you letting go of block as the attacker's move hits iirc
Title: Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Post by: thetylerrob on September 04, 2019, 09:39:30 PM
Learning 50 matchups is like any other game really, it would have helped you to start playing melee 20 years ago, but characters fall into archetypes so it's not as daunting as it seems. Lots of copy pasted moves and there's like 7 characters that play the same as Marth.

There were multiple Goemon games that never got localized.  Can't remember if there were three or five SNES games.  That series was Nintendo-only until the Playstation came along, IIRC.

Tried out Banjo last night. Character is amazing gift for amateur players like myself because his L/R special dash is crazy.fucking.good and destroys the cpu fast. He's now my go to character for single player stuff like messing around on spirit board.

The rest of his moves all seems ok, but that dash is so good.

I wish but I feel like Smash isn't going to fuck with the licensing on non-videogame companies since they don't want to be in a Marvel v Capcom situation where the license with Disney expires after 3 years and they lose a character. So I think anything Disney/Marvel is out even though it'd be cool to have reps from KH or from Marvel stuff.

It's pretty funny, but honestly move combinations/controls are like 75% of the barrier to entry for fighters, and a lot of people find it kind of intimidating. The more input fighters in smash the better, it can only bleed off into other FG scenes.

Settings -> FS Meter

The Smash Ball item also grants Final Smashes when your character breaks one.

After that, press the special button (usually B) without directionals.

Stock Mode = Players fight until they run out of "lives" (can also add a timer)

Stamina Mode = Characters have HP which depletes, like other fighting games

Post by: Bebpo on November 08, 2019, 11:36:15 AM
No, I understand how FS works

But Terry's two specials (Buster Wolf and Power Geyser) are not FS moves and in stock mode require 100% stock depletion which I don't understand. I tried after losing 1 stock and they still wouldn't come out.

Terry supers damage restrictions is supposed to mimic old SNK fighters where you could only do supers or Desperation moves in the red health area or near death. Sort of like you can only do rage moves/exoves for Tekken 7 near death.

Eh, I can understand Justin Bebpo's confusion: Only Garou and like the early KoF's do this. I don't recall 13 or 2002UM doing this.

And like, no other fighter has a desperation move that lets you put it early/mid instead of late/near death (like Tekken does).

All of the older SNK fighting games did this- hence the name "desperation moves."   :P  I can't remember which SNK games were first to have super meters, but I know Samurai Shodown II had it and IIRC KOF '94 had both types of supers available?  Been a while on that one.

SNK did super moves first- Art Of Fighting 1 was the first game to have one.

I loved Terry after thinking Hero was ok. He had a unique enough playstyle and stage that he is cool even if you dont play SNK games (i did end up buying Garou, which kicks ass)

I know it's kind of a moot complaint, but I'm really tired of anime characters. Give me something from a western dev, or a hideous monster or something! Smash is supposed to be a celebration of gaming, and if I get another brightly colored sword user with human proportions I'll probably hate it. People want Dante and especially when we already have Bayonetta in the game, I'm just not on board at all.

The worst part is that with the weapon master gimmick, they could have easily been a monhun character or really any other action game character that uses multiple weapons.

But it is Byleth of Fire Emblem, either because Nintendo gave him no better choices, or because he thought it was funny. And it kind of genuinely is. :lol

Fire Emblem?  :-\

Probably the most boring dlc from this batch. I haven't listened to the Three Houses ost yet, so I'm not even sure if I care about the added songs (though when you have like 28 hours worth in the base game I guess who actually cares).

 Nintendo history goes stupidly deep. Guess Fire Emblem is huge both in the west and east though.

RIP Dante  :'(  I love Three Houses and even I think Byleth is a lame edition.

I hope they get more adventurous for future DLC characters.

for this game, yeah. but the smash 4 dlc had roy, lucas, corrin, and mewtwo.

them adding an FE character from the new game seemed like a forgone conclusion though it is a bit of letdown with all the lofty expectations heh

Yeah basically I don't get why people are so mad when every smash game has whatever Fire Emblem character is in the latest game added to it since like Melee. If anything, we should have all been DEMANDING sakurai keep to tradition and add byleth sooner.

Kinda looks interesting too. No fucking down B counter. Actually using the different weapons from FE that a lord can use instead of just a dumbass sword. Unorthadox special move boxes.

And now, the nintendo fanboys are free to work themselves up into a frenzy for pass 2 cereal mascots without fear of another fire emblem character invading  :doge

Crazy stans who want KOS-MOS or Goku (lolwut) or whoever and were gonna bitch anyway aside, people are just disappointed because the last character in this season pass isn't a guest character like the last four were.  I'm sure the character will end up being popular enough, but after Banjo, DQ, Persona, and Fatal Fury, adding another Fire Emblem character is...eh.

I'm sure there's going to be another round of DLC following this and people can move onto the next character to be let down by.

Sure but it felt like an out of nowhere pick for people to latch on to is all I'm saying.

Well it's a Nintendo franchise and they've done some out of nowhere deep cuts before (Game and Watch, Robb) so it makes more sense than Goku or Geno or KosMos.

I'm not really big on it either.  I do enjoy seeing what's going on with the new games/content and checking out stuff when it gets released, but ultimately just can't get into it.  Reminds me of the Marvel Vs. games in that way.

But hey, maybe Byleth will get me playing!

That's a rare thing with console games nowadays!  I spent the weekend redoing my setup (lost space due to moving my work setup into my game room!) and while I wasn't going to do this initially, BASED SAKURAI has inspired me to change it up again and go ahead and put my TV right to the side of my PC desk so I can do that multitasking.

Post by: Tasty on June 22, 2020, 09:40:20 PM
Edit- No wait it was voice samples in the original, that they reused for Brawl with minor modifications in some parts.

Quote
Masahiro Sakurai revealed in an interview with former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that he intended to include Final Smashes in the original Super Smash Bros., even going as far as to record voice clips for each of them. However, the Nintendo 64’s console limitations could’ve been the reason why they were scrapped and the idea wouldn’t be implemented until Brawl. Some of these voice clips, which were contained in the Super Smash Bros. debug menu, were eventually and correspondingly used in Brawl.

I don't care either way, but it seems like the Minecraft guy can at least offer some cool ideas for moves/attacks.
Another sword guy would offer what? Smash Bros is a party game, not Samurai Showdown.

Seems to me like Smash fans want cool looking characters, more than characters with weird gimmick that'd make for interesting moves.
Like some people were seriously suggesting Dante.  ::)
I'd rather have something weird like Pacman or whatever.

Most of this characters attacks are stubby sword slashes. He reminds me of villager except villager actually has a variety of fun objects they pull out of their ass, Steve just has tools that all provide similar hitboxes. Mechanically, someone like Min Min or Terry is a whole lot more distinct among the roster than Steve imo. I feel like sakurai kind of phoned this one in.

Crash
Chrono
Doom Slayer
Ezio
Flynn (SMT IV)
Heihachi (currently a Mii costume)
Jibanyan
Lana (Zelda?)
Lara Croft
Leon S. Kennedy
Linkle :lol
Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
Lora (Xenoblade 2 Torna)
Monster Hunter
Phoenix Wright
Porky
Professor Layton
Rayman
Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
Ryu Hayabusa
Sephiroth
Shantae
Sora
Spyro
Terra (FFVI)

Yu (?)
Yuri (Tales of Vesperia)

Nah he'd be more hype than dud because of his outsider/joke character status. The biggest rousers would be those saying "Another SF char?" But that's what they'd say with additional characters for almost any series.

I think Sephiroth is legitimately the only one to break that rule, lol.

Ok, picked it up. I hope the last 3 challengers relate more to my tastes. I feel like pack 1 I knew every character in the pack and it was neat fanservice nostalgia.

I hadn't paid any attention to season 2 since I wasn't planning on picking it up and yeah....I've never played Arms and I don't play Minecraft so I have zero attachment to the first two characters.

Also I thought Sephiroth was the final S2 character. I didn't realize there's still another 3 left. Damn that is a lot.

Geno would have been fun just for the moveset, a reconfiguring puppet gunner isn't really comparable to any playable fighter we currently have, only ROB comes close. Sephiroth is fine as is though, his weapon basically makes him a spear character anyway.

I mean they're zzz but it's also more Xeno reps in Smash (stages, music) so I'm sorta ok with it. I don't think Rex would've been any better tbh. Shin probably would've been the best XB2 rep, but he's just another sword guy so idk.

Actually the XBX people like Elma would've been better reps because 1) She uses guns and not a sword & 2) She's black and Smash has like zero minority representation. It's like a 99% white anime kids fighter.

Elma would have been great, but XBX is a Wii U game approx 10 people played including me and you and XC2 is a switch megahit. I could see it if they were readying a remake or something but it seems bizarre to pass over pyra/mythra for Elma otherwise.

You should definitely get XB1 or XB2 I've seen them on sale quite a bit recently.

They're not the most deep RPG's out there but they're really fun to play. In some way Xenoblade 1 strangely reminds me of those Quintet SNES ARPG's like Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma.
A lot of atmosphere and heart and fast action packed battle systems. In the remaster they fixed a ton of things aside from the visual improvements (on Wii it was hard to make out anything but the terrain really) to make it even better.
It still is one of the all time JRPG classics.

XB2 is more animu than the first and has some additional Gacha elements. You can collect new 'blades' which are characters that help and assist in battle (not unlike the Astral Chain mechanic) by summoning them from crystals which have different tiers and rarity stats. The game has a few progression barriers that require certain blades or skills that they have. Like XB1 the core mechanics still work and the side quests are more modern but there are some downsides to the new gameplay systems especially for completionists.

I actually got Xeno 1 on Wii, one of the few copies apparently, but it was right when I moved so I kinda fell off it and didn't get very far. Seemed really cool though.

Xeno 2 looks just over the line of too animu for my tastes, though. Xeno X with the mechs looked awesome back in the day.
