But that happened to the whole roster except Kirby and DLC characters.

Yeah, the characters already in the game got owned* by Galeem but still got in. I don't know how DLC characters avoided it IN LORE though.

*Kirby excluded because that warp star is next-level bonkers fast.

It seems weird to add spirits for a character they have planned but Sakurai has shown us time and time again that he doesn’t give a gently caress about “rules”.

He did vouch for the Xbox 360 on a Nintendo stream. Then did this on a Nintendo stream.

Tabuu had not yet woven the thread of their universe into the fabric of Smash Brothers. This is how Joker, Banjo, Terry and the gang escaped Galeem's piercing light.

My assumption is that they wouldn't release a spirit if they knew it would fit as part of the dlc, but if they released a spirit before they actually considered a certain character, it could happen. Like any spirit in the base game is probably a possibility for the 2nd fp because we know they didn't plan that far ahead but not Ring Fit Adventure or Warframe.

I think a key thing is people are underestimating how early character rosters are decided, since they take a long time to develop. As said before, the entire Ultimate base roster was set in stone years before release (besides a placeholder Pokemon that ended up being Incineroar), and I imagine both Fighter's Pass rosters were decided well either either was announced. It's unlikely they'd go back and change their mind after making the Spirits in question. Not that it couldn't happen, and I'd reckon they wouldn't consider an existing Spirit reason to disqualify a character, just that it's more using the Spirits to guess their priorities.

my head canon is that the warp star, true to its name, not only does not go fast, it doesn't go at all - it simply moves all of space around it

Maybe all of the DLC characters are residing in the pocket of time and space Kirby went to when he escaped the Smash Snap and he's slowly bringing them back to the real world. Kirby knows who's coming then I guess.

Don't you only get the DLC characters after getting your fifth character on the default roster?

They could've just been tag alongs with the characters you unlocked.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Whether characters being implemented as spirits into Smash means if they won't be implemented as Fighters for Ultimate greatly depends on if the Smash team is willing to ignore the game's own logic to satisfy fan demand.

That being said, there is a pool of hundreds of game characters that the devs can choose six from without having to double dip and reuse characters who are already in the game as something else.

I would assume that being added as spirits now would preclude them from being DLC, as the DLC has been decided.

I'd say most of the event spirit updates are out, though.

Didn't people think Chrom was deconfirmed because he was in Robin's final smash?

Iirc Robin's FS hadn't been shown yet for Ultimate before the direct that revealed Chrom. The assumption at the time was that it must have been changed, likely to something Grima related.

I feel like people rarely talk about actually playing this game. Debating what's better, crushing someone, or loving robbing someone who was winning by using something well timed but unfortunate for them. Off stage reversal or the like.

No better feeling than lose the first stock -> opponent aggressively teabags -> take it back with a three stick streak -> opponent disconnects right as they hit the blast zone.

If Capcom gets another one after Mega Man and it's not Scrooge as he appeared in NES DuckTales it'll make perfect sense but still make me sad.

Aside from breaking the rules, if they get something Disney into Smash Bros it'd absolutely be Sora. (I think Disney technically owns all the original Kingdom Hearts characters)

Yeah, I'm sick of it. Anyone have any recommendations on selling it and getting a decent amount of money for it? Should I just go for Ebay or what?

Seriously, I wanna sell this and Dragon Quest 11 because I'm annoyed by swapping the tiny little cartridges in and out of the Switch so I want to sell those and just buy a digital version of the games.

Its important to remember that a character's Spirit changes with their look. This is why BotW Zelda will never be in super smash bros, but BotW2 Zelda will join in the next fighter's pass

A lot of them but Snake comes to mind first. I really thought we wouldn’t see him ever again in Smash.

It also makes me happy that Pit, Mega Man and Simon Belmont got reunited together as a regular morning viewer of Captain N.
