Super Smash Bros General Thread

@Beau Skunky
Ridley or K Rool

@Background Pony #850C
This is a good enough summary of the series.

@Beau Skunky
Ridley, K Rool, Isabelle, Inkling?

Pbbbt, okay, fine.

@Kiryu-Chan
@igotnopicks
None of those, but admittedly, I was happy to see them all in.

I voted for Simon Belmont. (Surprised?)
I was also super happy Richter got in, because “Rondo of Blood” is probably my favorite traditional Castlevania game.

Anyone else vote?

I remember voting to have Snake back(huge MGS fan and was really upset he was cut for Smash 4, no doubt due to the Konami vs Kojima shenanigans)

@Kiryu-Chan
I heard many voters requested scrapped SSB characters.
Wolf O’Donnell, Ice Climbers, and Solid Snake were especially popular requests.

Sakurai said that’s what gave him the idea to bring every SSB character back in “Ultimate.”
I’m glad they did, as I missed a few of those characters too.

I missed Snake too.

Now we can have a match of fighters we never thought would happen with Ridley, Banjo, Steve and Sora.

Also, there was a vote? I thought we weren’t supposed to ask for things anymore.

@Shepherd
K.Rool was also unexpected, due to him being scrapped from the DK series for a long time.

@WyrmSpawN
There was an official Smash Ballot poll years back in the 3DS/WiiU days. That’s how Bayonetta got in as DLC, and how some Ultimate characters got in.

I don’t see NASB competing with Smash. Smash is more popular, and Nintendo characters are more well-known.

Mario alone is probably more well-known than any Nickelodeon character, with the possible exception of Spongebob.

@Beau Skunky
Yeah During the presentation I remember him specifically saying Snake was “back by popular demand” during the reveal, which tells me he ranked pretty high

@Kiryu-Chan
I admit, I wanted Snake, Wolf, and the Ice Climbers back.

@Background Pony #850C
Yeah, same. Those saying it’ll surpass Smash are trolling.

It looks fun though.

Huh, looks like my mom getting me the Switch version of “Melody of Memory” wasn’t a bad idea after all~

Even though I’ve no personal interest in KH, it’s still one hell of a final note to go out on. The Mickey Mouse icon on the end of the keyblade probably set Nintendo back a small fortune alone. The trophy’d fighters and the burning ember had me thinking it was Master Hand/Tabuu or a Dark Souls character. With the character banner now finally complete, I really hope Nintendo sells it as a massive poster.

Again, not a KH fan, but this final shot to send off Ultimate is beautiful.

Hmm, tough call on the music…which one should I max to 100 while I leave the rest empty?

I was surprised that the leaks were right all along. When I saw the part with the fire, I thought it was gonna be the Chosen Undead from Dark Souls.

Too bad Doomslayer is a Mii Costume, but that won’t stop fanart with him and Isabelle.

I’m surprised they didn’t include Isabelle in Doomguy’s trailer.

This image speaks volumes. If this 3 year old project didn’t earn him retirement, especially after the lengths he and his crew went to to get Sora, I don’t know what does.

Kirby is out here unlocking those hearts.

@Background Pony #CF04
I’m not surprised. Since Isabelle’s best buddy is killing Demons in Hell. And he is too busy to show up in Smash but killing demons in hell.

@igotnopicks
Good thing there’s no actual demons in the cast, then.

But a fair amount of angels.

Would Demon King Ganon count?

@Dirty Bit
I don’t think so. Since it’s still Ganondorf.

Remember how we got Cloud and the only thing we got was 2 songs, and how extremely lacking were were in Square Enix content? Oh how the tables turned
