Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

How would any of you feel about non-video game origin characters anyway?

Part of me feels like I’d be fine with it as long as they’re a character that has had plenty of notable games, but at the same time, there’s still other “true” video game characters they could be adding instead.

It’s like YouTube promoting celebrities over people that actually started on YouTube.

As cool as it would be to see someone like Mickey Mouse or Batman, I think it's best to stay within the realm of video game characters. Once a roster loses a uniting theme/has a weak uniting theme, it stops feeling like a professional crossover and more like those strange Pooh's Adventures images on google images.

They’d have to represent worthy licensed games in that case, off the top of my head, maybe someone like James Bond (Goldeneye N64) or Scrooge McDuck (Ducktales NES)

Every time I see the term "4th Party" I die a little inside.

This otherwise if we start allowing non-video game characters in people are gonna start demanding for absurd ones like Shrek.

That's an incredibly apt and timely analogy, really. Huh.

Personally I'm of the opinion that adding non-game characters would kinda make Smash lose its focus, as even when other fighting games have guests, they very rarely break the game's "rules" entirely. To me, Smash's focus is video games, and there's still a lot of untapped material there.

That being said, certain non-game characters would still manage to get me hyped. Mickey Mouse is my go-to example (bonus points if he has the magic blast from the end of Fantasmic as his Final Smash), even if he's impossible.

Not interested.

There's already enough video games that are unrepresented without adding the whole of non-game franchises.
Especially when the most popular of those non-game franchises already have their own games.

Outside of Smash Speculation, a nonsense word that literally describes something that can't exist if you think about it.
Inside Smash Speculation, a colloquialism to describe a character who didn't originate in a video game.

Her Final Smash is crying, releasing Iblis.

Her victory animation is kissing a dead Sonic back to life.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Dan Hibiki is less powerful than the literal ten-year-old child versions of Alm and Celica who, at that point, have no combat training?

Also hell yeah Caeda's number eighty.
