Smash Bros Smash Bros Ultimate

Smash Bros 4 was a total mess though. The leakers were just the cherry on the cake.

It is very possible to make the pirated copies locked out of all online content and the DLC. All that effort in stealing the game or breaking street date just to rip and leak it. No one will care in two weeks because the game itself is out. I do think Nintendo needs to be harsh on the smaller retailers that break the street dates.

I'm not saying it's the end of the world, I just mean that Sakurai was upset about Brawl's Cinematics ending up on YouTube before the game was even released and he claimed that was the reason for a lack of Subspace Emissary-like mode in SSB4. Nintendo can and should squash player's systems for pirating the game and I'm sure they will. I'm annoyed at the leaker, I sincerely hope it doesn't upset Sakurai into withholding a grand story mode from SSB5: Armageddon.

I like the idea of maining an Inkling. I wonder how good they'll be.

Ah, it's a shame there is no manual for the game after all. End of a tradition.

 

[Hyrulian Hero]

No manual...huh. I wonder, hard cover a companion book for the game. Development, concept art, detailed breakdowns of each character and map, graphic novel story arch, interviews with the team...it's worked for zelda. The player bases are different but I think it would sell.

Never fear. The fans come to the rescue.

His fam made instruction booklet is really amazing. It's not perfect but it's very close to being perfect. Damn well done. He's jsut fixing up a few typos now and the last few minor things.

While we know that Guile's Theme Goes With Everything, which matchup would it fit best?

 

[Spirit]

Probably should be more hyped for this... but it's just a fighting game. We know what we're grtting.

I also cant help but think World of Light will be fun but disappointing.

Better than No Man's Sky. We didn't know what we didn't get there till it was too late. Knowing what you're getting is better than not knowing.

Early reviews are looking good, but that was to be expected.

 

[Hyrulian Hero]

I've tried to keep a high level of known unknowns with this game. I've watched the trailers and Directs but that's it. I know it'll be a good experience at least, since I'll usher it into the world along with several friends on Friday and with several more friends, one with a Switch, next Saturday. Even a mediocre game is fun with friends on the couch.

 

[Fraxinus]

Random, but I'm not sure I like the FE characters' critical hit final smash sending opponents offscreen before the health bar overlay is finished depleting. Kind of interrupts the satisfaction imo

 

[A Link In Time]

Okay, I don't think anyone saw a Persona 5 character making it into Smash.

 

[Spirit]

What a choice for a DLC guest character.

This is why Smash is so special, it can still shock us with characters even when the roster is 70+!
