Ah, I missed that segment. That's cool then. Ridley looks slick and I'm really looking forward to surfing on people Firebrand style.

Any word on if counters are being changed at all? With dodging giving diminishing returns now and Witch Time already doing that from Smash 4, it makes me wonder if all the Fire Emblem swordsmen will have to use their counters more sparingly.

At least Shulk and Bayonetta in Smash 4 had diminishing returns on their counters, so it certainly wouldn't be surprising if all counters in Ultimate have diminishing returns too (and I'm hoping for it).

One newcomer announced every month makes 6 more before release, including December itself. Sprinkle on some more Echo fighter at (let's say) the same rate, yielding another 6 official Echo fighters.

Good new fighters list:
  • some new-gen Pokémon
  • Waluigi
  • Impa (Skyward Sword or Hyrule Warriors)
  • Tetra
  • Geno
  • Sami from Advance Wars
  • Zero (specifically Mega Man Zero)
  • Shovel Knight sounds neato
  • some Belmont probz
  • Dark Samus (seems unlikely given Ridley's inclusion as a full new fighter)

Good Echo fighters list:
  • Dark Samus (seems more likely)
  • Duster as Snake echo
  • Shadow the Hedgehog
  • Dr. Luigi
  • Proto Man
  • K. Rool, as previously established
  • Waluigi instead as Echo of Bayonetta, also as previously established


Rates and numbers in this post were fabricated, but extremely smartly

Those lists might be several more than 6 each, but if u disagree with it then we can SETTLE IT IN SMASH

Some are suggesting K. Rool would work better as an Echo fighter of Captain Falcon the bounty-hunting racecar driver instead an Echo fighter of Ryu the street fighter, based on the observation that the relevant picture of K. Rool resembles CFalcon's C'MON taunt pose more than Ryu the street fighter:

This observation is reasonable on its face. However the conclusion is ridiculous. K. Rool could not fit in a recolored Blue Falcon for racing purposes, and could plausibly perform neither a Raptor Boost nor a Knee Of Justice in order to hunt and take down bounties.


Please stop trolling.

Just got word about the latest DLC, and it's definitely different. For $20, Nintendo will create a clone of Sakurai who has to suffer some kind of Black Mirror torment and live in a time loop, programming any character you want into the game all on his own, perfecting and balancing the moves perfectly so the character fits in with the rest of the gang.

The only exception is that if you suggest Waluigi, it just erases your save data.

GC controller is incredibly comfortable to hold if your hands are the right size for it. It's sturdy and wraps its cord well too. And in later Smash games where you can customize buttons, then you can put Special on X (the right-side bean button) as well as B, so you can hit Jump on Y (top bean) and immediately + easily use Special when airborne, not just Attack.

There's also close to 2 decades of familiarity!

The analog L/R buttons aren't as great for non-Melee of course, and if your hands aren't sized right for it then I imagine you'll dislike the controller upon first use.

Put Waluigi in as an echo of Bayonetta. They both got gangly limbs. He attacks by making fingerguns and very small Bullet Bills come out.

This is still the best idea

I believe Sakurai has been planning this whole time to give us Waluigi in either this best idea form or as a full-fledged non-Echo fighter.

Extremely hosed up that someone would even joke about this (much less consider saying it genuinely). Ridley and Waluigi should both be fighters in Smash Ultimate. The end.

:wrong:


Waluigi's dash attack (regardless of whether he's his own fighter or an Echo of Bayonetta) is his amazingly long-range elbow spike Big Hit from Mario Strikers Charged.

Who do you fellas think the weird one-off NES era arcade game character will be for this game? I'm hoping for my boys, Bub and Bob, to finally join the fight.
Bubble Bobble as a buddies fighter like Ice Climbers is a pro suggest.

(Bubble Bobble as an Echo fighter of Ice Climbers is less pro albeit more comedic.)

It's precisely because Daisy is so similar to Peach that she was more viable. Who's Waluigi like? Nobody, that's who, which is his curse.

Supercar Gautier posted:

Waluigi would need a lot more work because he couldn't be an echo for anyone. His proportions are nothing like Luigi's or anyone else's, so he'd need his own rig, animations, etc. Daisy's popularity is comparable to his, but she's a much easier match for Peach.

Waffleman_ posted:

Because Daisy can be easily put over Peach, having been a color for her for years, and Waluigi would have to be a new character.

Ohh yeah, Midna is another one who'd be really good. I honestly didn't know Skull Kid was in Warriors though, that's neat!

Here's a question for y'all- What character do you want to see in Smash, even though you personally wouldn't play as that character?

For me it's Paper Mario. Even though Mario/Dr. Mario are fun enough characters to play as, I only ever play them if I Random into them. Mario's like the Ryu/Kyo/Sol/Ragna/Ect of Smash, fun enough to play but because they're the main character/face of the game I just have no interest in choosing them. Paper Mario would continue this tradition. I really love the Paper Mario games and would adore to see what Sakurai and the team could do with him, but 9 times out of 10 I would not choose to play as him.

Paper Mario would be excellent af and u would luv too play as Paper Mario that 1/10 times, ahead of at least 59 other fighters   :black101:
