Samus can charge her Charge Beam in midair!

Roy can make his neutral-B turn around and has WAY more ph1r3!

I'm so excited.

Lucina's distinct sword properties gave her the edge over Marth in a lot of matchups. She wasn't a strict downgrade in 4 and she won't be one here, either.

Mockup of the select screen with all confirmed characters:



(these are arranged Wii U style with series grouped together, but the demo orders them by their numbers so the final game might do that instead)

Sonic and Bayonetta should be neighbors for Sega Reasons, IMHO.

Speaking of dumb character choices, since I did a bet last time I'll do it again.

For anybody listening, quote this post and give me exactly five characters you think will be announced (or playable) when Smash Ultimate is released along with your Steam account and I'll buy the person with the most correct answers a whopping $10 game on Steam. Ties will be split evenly.

I'll save it all on a notepad document and review it when the game is released and the full roster (at launch, not DLC) is revealed.

Theta Zero posted:

I'm bit confused by the writing, though, because it says "and select from a set of three specials for each type." I'm not sure if that means that instead of picking three variants for every type of special, there's just three combinations you can choose from that are preset. If that's the case, then effectively Mii Fighters would be identical to the addition of 9 new characters (three unique with two clones each). Assuming that editing their height and weight don't change their in-game properties, Mii Fighters might genuinely be legal picks in tournaments. They've already confirmed that they're allowing Mii Fighters online this time around.

TOs will continue to ban Miis, even 1111 Miis, to appease top player egos and reduce the matchup pool.

If you made an Echo Fighter of an Echo Fighter, and then an Echo Fighter of that Echo Echo, and so on....how many steps down the line would you have to be before the resulting Fighter was different enough to NOT be an Echo of the original?

never - the definition of "echo fighter"" is very specific.

Nintendo has a long way to go towards including characters with darker skin and that Ganondorf (hook-nosed, evil, arab-coded) is the only visible dark-skinned person on the Character Select Screen unless you go four costumes deep on Inkling is kinda hosed up.

Now, to Nintendo (or maybe just Treehouse)'s credit, Splatoon 2's DLC does some really well-executed, nuanced explorations of prejudice in its story content.

... and then they did an "Inkling vs. Octoling" splatfest because that wasn't tone-deaf at all.

Chill Penguin posted:

You've already been proven wrong you stupid bitch. This thread is bad enough already, doesn't need you trolling it. Mario bros. are Italian, Ganondorf is brown af, the Inklings can be black or brown, Ryu is Japanese, and above all these characters are race-less cartoons. Go back to D&D or GBS or whatever

maybe it is you who need to chill, penguin, and reconsider why you decided to call someone a "stupid bitch" in anger as soon as the racial politics of Your Favorite Game (Company) got interrogated.

The space animals are in Smash with one loving good game between them

Isaac’s design is cool and there are at least a couple of neat locations, I think it would be fine if one Golden Sun character made it in

Roy is a Melee rep, so he has more good games than Isaac.

I've never understood why the original Donkey Kong was aged to an old ape by the time of Donkey Kong Country, but Mario is still the same age. Did Rare think that gorillas had shorter lifespans then humans or something?

Well, there was no evidence during the DKC production that Donkey Kong and Mario would ever interact again.

Something interesting I just realized...Shulk is gonna have a worse matchup against Ryu in Smash Ultimate. Since Ryu automatically turns to face his opponent in 1v1 situations, Shulk presumably can't get off a good Back Slash against him now.
