Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far? Are you happy with how they've changed your mains? Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Daily Smash Thread
Bump?
>Is Ultimate your favorite game?
No, but it's a great game regardless
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Not that much actually. I dropped G&W because, while better, his playstyle kinda shifted from Smash 4. He was more of a grappler in that game. Now, he's a defensive behemoth with an amazing UpB OoS that can be very anti approach. I'm not really feeling G&W anymore. Duck Hunt though is fine enough, still a great neutral, Disc is much better, Recovering is easier. The only issue is UpTilt not being as useful with a bad hitbox & not killing anymore.
>Can we all agree that Bano being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Depends of his playstyle. If he's a gay as shit zoner with eggs & grenade, and Kazzoie Disjoints, then he's just as gay as Olimar or Snake, your nostalgia doesn't matter.
Nope, I can't agree with that. It is one of the worst games I have ever played, and I have nothing but disdain for the series. Primarily I have three reasons why:
>the fanbase has become beyond obnoxious, shitposting and attacking any thread about other games, saying "stop bumping smash threads off the front page" or "this game is only good if it gets a character into smash". The fans will also use sales and metacritic scores to argue that the game is good, thus outing themselves as shills
>the fans willingly lap up DLC and microtransactions and season passes, arguing that "being a poorfag" is a bad thing and that companies should be allowed to endlessly milk us
>they ruined Metroid by making Zero Suit Samus the face of the series, and refuse to remove that fucking disgusting character from the roster. Zero Suit should be violently destroyed for all the damage it's done to Metroid
To say I loathe this game is an understatement.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
No, that title still goes to Brawl and that's purely because of nostalgia.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Pacman stayed the same so yes I'm happy that they didn't change him.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Sure I guess.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game?
Might be. It's certainly a nice bounceback from Sm4sh, which is the most disappointed I've been with the series.
>Are you happy with how they changed your mains?
I wish G&W still had the credit card, but I can make the bomb work sometimes.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
A bit early to make that judgement.
Those are all shit reasons to not like the game lmao
5. 64
4. Brawl
3. Melee
2. Smash 4
1. Ultimate
>banjo
>top tier
kek. He'll be shit tier and you'll have to live with it.
>those are all shit reasons to not like the game
And giving a game a 10/10 recommendation because of waifus is a better reason?
Those are the most pathetic reasons to hate the game I've ever heard and the last bit isn't even true in the slightest.
How is it not true? Smash fans LITERALLY only care about Metroid because they can jerk off to it. Not a soul has ever touched the series, and I can prove it. Look into any smash/metroid thread and you'll find no gameplay discussion whatsoever. People will just be spamming porn until the thread 404's.
learn to separate the game from the audience you inbred
And how am I supposed to do that for a multiplayer-centric game? Especially when I get shat on daily in smash bros threads for saying that I prefer playing as Power Suit Samus? Heaven forbid I play a video game for five seconds without thinking with my dick, but apparently this is an unforgivable sin.
Stop going into image dump threads expecting discussion. Metroid discussion threads are extremely common and easy to make, the franchise is quite popular here. Just make a fucking thread with a Metroid pic and your subject of choice and you’ll have zero issues. In the past week alone I’ve had two separate multi hour long discussions about Fusion and the Prime games here.
>Daily
More hourly
I've been in those threads. Every one of them became a smash circlejerk or a porn circlejerk. Nobody here actually likes Metroid. I'm literally the only genuine fan left. And I'm sorry I have to say that, but I'm the only one who thinks Metroid can be a good series without disgusting sex fanservice being shoved in every 5 seconds.
And honestly, this was my one wish for Smash Bros Ultimate. I wanted them to completely remove Zero suit and retcon it from the series forever. They already violently murdered Metroid with Other M, they can't at least try and fix their mistakes?
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Hell no. This is probably the worst one in the series.
>Laggiest online since Brawl, made worse by the fact that you have to pay money for it
>No trophies
>Short hop input buffer constantly eats your inputs so you consistently get the wrong attack or no attack at all when you wanted a specific attack
>Fewest base roster newcomers of any game in the series
>Community is full of the most autistic retards ever who literally think that showering is "unhealthy" and are constantly eating each other over whether or not (X anime character) will be in the game
>DLC is all gonna be garbage memeshit instead of any good first party characters
Everyone involved in the creation of this game should be fucking killed, as well as everyone who plays it.
>play game
>first opponent camps me hard on my warm up game, and lags everything they get hit
>next opponent fair game, we had a good time
>next, lag lag LAAAG LAGGIEST PERSON EVER
>barely get through that last one, play one more
>next guy is a chrom and he destroys me for two games; okay this guys better than me, it was a well fought battle
>next game, LAAAG. LAG HERO. Can’t even play the fucking game.
What the fuck man this game pisses me off sometimes
Okay then those discussions I had didn’t exist I guess.
I would happily discuss any Metroid game with you right now if it wasn’t 3am my time. I’ve played all of them and love the series. But sure, you’re the only fan of the series because people who post lewd pics exist. Fucking hell, calm your fucking tits and actually try and make threads. Instead you’ve come to a Smash thread to complain though.
Fucking same. Smash Ultimate killed the series for me. It made me realize that I've never liked Smash in execution, only in concept, because they ALWAYS manage to fuck something up and make the next game slightly more unplayable than the last.
I'm willing to bet the next Smash finally fixes all the online and input buffer issues and actually adds characters worth a damn as well as an interesting and unique story mode, but the only controller that works with it is made out of barbed wire and used tampons. It's so infuriating to want to like a game that constantly fights back your ability to enjoy it. Fuck Smash.
I came into a smash thread to discuss my problems with smash, the metroid part is just a small part of it. You don't know pain until you're shat on by 700 posters in a /vg/ thread because they think you're an "SJW cuck" all because you play power suit samus, and actually prefer it over zero suit samus.
>top tier anime character bad
>top tier animal mascot good
?????
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
64 > Melee > Ultimate > 4 > Brawl
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Kirby is "bottom tier" again, but I can't believe he's as bad as Isabel etc.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Yeah, that would probably be cool.
>I'm the only one who thinks Metroid can be a good series without disgusting sex fanservice being shoved in every 5 seconds.
Nigger the only "sex fanservice" in Metroid is a striptease you get at the end of the game for speedrunning it or collecting all the items. It's not "every five seconds" you fucking puritan jackass. Just let people enjoy something the way they want to.
That little "striptease at the end" was a terminal tumor that nobody bothered to cut out, and before you know it, it grew immensely. And guess where that left us.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Yeah, I guess. Really, I'm just saying this because I'd like to see some high-level play with the bear and bird. I'm gonna soak up their presence in this game as much as I possibly can.
>a thread actually talking about the gameplay and not just roster guesses
Yeah this wont last long
Yes it’s my favourite
I actually like that they’ve come a long way since Brawl regarding Bowser, my previous main, and Ganondorf. Especially giving him back his OoT look.
Also this game gave me my absolute most requested characters in Banjo, K Rool, and Ridley so they could make the last DLCs two separate Fortnite reps and I’d be satisfied.
Would like Crash tho.
I hope Banjo is top tier desu.
What's your opinion on Smash fan games and mods?
>Despite the whole EVERYONE IS HERE shit most of the cast is locked from the start for no reason at all.
>Trophies replaces by still images
>Barely any single-player modes before the update
>Nightmarishly tedius and unfun single-player mode that just consists of slowly walking around and fighting rigged opponents to get still images
>I've never liked Smash in execution, only in concept
This statement goes deeper than you think. I love the concept of Smash, outright adore it but somehow the games can't keep my pull with every installment. Tripping made me drop Brawl, I literally didn't even play Smash Four beyond the surface and while I've played Ultimate more, I still have nitpicks that build up making them a problem enough to annoy me.
>It's so infuriating to want to like a game that constantly fights back your ability to enjoy it.
This too. Going back to Brawl, why? Even the casuals hated tripping.
>when someone plays with a zoner or anything with an abusable projectile they have shit connection
>when someone has a rushdown or combo heavy character they have a decent connection
They really should give us an option to filter some characters if they aren't gonna fix the netcode, considering the teams budget is tight.
This game has 0, I repeat ZERO TRACKS FROM MMBN??? What a travesty.
>A Star Force song got in Smash before a Battle Network song
It's still pretty upsetting indeed.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Yes, the sequel will literally be inferior
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
I want Luigi's old grab and Down B back
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
I don't want him to be OP, just balanced.
Where are the gameplay complaints?
>Fewest base roster newcomers of any game in the series
I'm sure you know the reason for this.
Here's a big one:
>purposely nerfed Power Suit Samus, Ridley and Dark Suit Samus, just so that slutty shit Zero Suit would get more notoriety
In other words, Sakurai blatantly sabotaged every Metroid character so the stupid sex fanservice would get top billing.
Ridley got buffed recently but I can see what you mean about Zamus being good overall.
WHUH OH!
ACFAG IS BACK AGAIN! (OH NO)
ACFAG IS BACK AGAIN! (HIS MOTHER MESSED UP)
ACFAG IS BACK AGAIN! (NOT AGAIN)
ACFAG IS BACK AGAIN!
ACFAG IS BACK AGAIN!
SHITTING UP EVERY THREAD HE ENTERS IN
HE THINKS THAT METROID THREADS ARE ONLY PORN DUMPSTERS
0.1 SECONDS OF CUTSCENES WILL MAKE IT THROW THE GAME IN A DUMPSTER
WHEREVER HAPPENS, HE JUST GOES AND REPLIES
HE THINKS HE'S SPECIAL AND ONE-OF-A-KIND
HE'S ALWAYS DOING SHITPOSTING AND MAKING THREADS A MESS
SO IF HE GETS CALLED OUT FOR HIS BS YOU KNOW WHAT'S NEXT
I see what you were trying to do with this but it ain't workin'.
Until they give us a new Kirby rep, no Smash after Brawl will be favorable.
>shitposting
Literally never happened. Easy on the caps lock, bro.
Wait that shit was supposed to be a credit card? I always thought it was a box
God fucking damn it Kirby is adorable, I wish he were good
Make ridley a heavyweight and I will play him 24/7
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Nostalgia's gonna prop up 64 but I do really enjoy ultimate.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Captain Falcon could still use a few buffs.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Yes and no. I want Banjo to be good, and I want to see Banjo players tear up tournaments, but I also don't want to see one character dominate the meta. Top level player choices trickle down into what people do online. I saw noticeably more Jokers after Leo won evo.
It is. It's just commonly referred to as a credit card because a lot of people made that assumption based on its appearance.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains
No, Sheik needs a buff.
I never even played Smash 4, I just want a Sheik that can actually get kills like she could in melee.
He already is.
>weights less than fucking samus
should be at least ganondorf heavy, sakurai you coward
>weighs less than Samus and as much as Wario
>still has a fuckhuge hurtbox
I hope he gets the Mewtwo treatment soon
Sheik has had it too good for too long
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
As far as gameplay and roster go, yes, absolutely. And those are the only two things that really matter to me in Smash.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Shulk is almost a completely different character, in a good way. He feels so good to play now.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Banjo is gonna be my secondary, so yes. I just hope his playstyle isn't too reliant on zoning since I've never found zoners that fun. As long as he's a fundies-oriented character with a little bit of everything, like Mario, I'll be more than happy.
Don't hate her for being beautiful, faggot.
Every woman could stand to learn something from Samus.
If every woman were as beautiful and strong as Samus Aran there would be no war.
You guys seriously want him to be even bigger combo food than he already is?
Sad but true. The next game can’t be as good. Unless they step their shit up and being out a powerful console
I hate it when you can tell an artist was super horny when drawing something like this, the outfit is so tight that you can see her belly button for fuck's sake. Why not just draw her naked at that point instead of this weird ugly shit.
DK is my old secondary. I'll make it work.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Yes.
Yes we can OP.
The way you have fun with zoners is you view Smash more like chess than a fight to the death. You gotta set up your kills
Horny is life.
Cry more.
Holy shit did ZSS kill your family or something?
Are you Ridley?
I like the Arts Wheel but I hate that they are Hyper now. I liked Shulk a bit more in 4.
That's what you get for not having IRL friends you autist
>delete joker and hero
Now i will play your game again
>Fewest base roster newcomers of any game in the series
Technically its tied with 64
>having all unlocked at the beginning
I bet you'd buy a 2.99 unlock pack if given the chance
I've played like this with Young Link and enjoyed it, but I think that's just because he's more combo-oriented so it doesn't feel like I'm running away. When it comes down to it, I like playing a character who can just ftilt you at 90 for the kill.
I can't even begin to imagine the community rage if for some reason Nintendo had chosen to use the Nuts & Bolts design
But see, this picture is better because the artist just shows you her ass without dancing around it.
Play BOTW Link. You set traps and he has big boy hits. You have to work for it by making your opponent do what they should know is stupid but I can definitely say Link is one of the most fun characters in the game in my opinion
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Easily. The only thing it lacks compared to Melee is ground to air momentum, which I could never make much use of anyhow, and it's pretty fucking fast anyway. The new characters are some of the most satisfying we've ever had and the mechanical changes from 4 have all been for the better. Also my all-time dream pick got in, pic related.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
G&W got kinda fucked. The bomb is neat but unwieldy, and I hate that they took away his fun windboxes. Reflector bucket is nice though and I still enjoy playing him.
Pikachu is a fucking menace now and I love it. Tried switching to Pichu but I'm too reckless to live long enough as him, otherwise I'd consider Pichu a direct upgrade in fun.
Kirby feels great. I dunno why people call him bad, his attacks come out stupid fast and have a good bit of power, plus his combo game is great. He's too slow to mess with some characters, but I believe he's great in doubles for his sheer precision in the air.
And Dedede is the best he's ever been. Absolutely love him, I almost never feel I'm at a disadvantage against other characters.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
I absolutely think so, if he is. He doesn't look to have anything clearly busted, so I think he'd be the fun, well-rounded kind like Wolf or Pikachu.
>That specific ZSS complaint
Is this Eric?
I’m pretty sure I made you pick him up scrub. Don’t go around promoting my main cause you got your ass kicked in
Doug please.
He's pretty fucked as it is, might as well give him the benefit of being hard to launch to make up for it.
That being said I manage to work around the combo's by being a persistent little shit so I'll make do.
It took me some getting used to but I definitely prefer his Ult design now. Arts are just a lot more situational, but switching them on the fly is so satisfying.
Great pic btw, saved.
>ground to air momentum
Imagine Sonic
What
I'll give him a shot. The bomb definitely seems like a cool mechanic.
What the fuck is this guy's problem?
Melee is my favorite but Ultimate is good enough to be worth playing, which I’m incredibly thankful for because I was about to give up on the series after Brawl and Tr4sh.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Yeah even though I get dumpster’d in online I like to play it with friends
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
I’ve only played n64 and brawl and I don’t remember who I played but little Mac needs a little buff
>Can we all agree that Bano being a top tier is for the good of the game?
I would love for him to be top tier but at the same time I don’t want people to hate on me for playing him even though he’s my most wanted character
Read it again faggots
They should’ve put the heavy hitting melee sheik in ultimate :/
you first
>Little Mac
Cringe, and yet, somehow, based.
Why are the devs afraid of removing him from the grave? It hurts seeing how busted the dlc is while kirby just sits at the bottom
Atleast I was finally conviced to change mains to sheik and robin
I understood you perfectly the first time, I just think you have mental problems.
The bomb gives you some teeth shattering ledge trapping and edge guarding. The boomerang is more fun for me though personally.
>None of the "complaints" have to do with the quality of the game
Severe autism.
To answer two at once here, 4 is my favorite because I main duck hunt. They fucked my character over so hard in ultimate just because he was obnoxious in 4 player item modes.
Unlocking characters is fun. They should have made most of the stages unlockable too.
>Devs
Sakurai.
I've said this before, it's because Kirby is probably the most popular casual pick. He's easy to use, pretty fun, has a forgiving recovery, and inhale powers give him a lot of variety. The problem is that, because of all this, there's a conception among casual players that he's somehow really really good. Seriously, talk to anybody who just plays Smash at parties and they're probably tell you how busted Kirby is. If Nintendo were to buff him significantly I feel like it would piss casuals off because they'd see it as unfair, and the casual audience for Smash is HUGE.
OG characters would need a complete overhaul to be good if they aren't already. Keep playing him though man, tiers are for queers and any character can be good if you know what you're doing
Unlocking characters was cool when I was ten with melee, when the roster is at 70 it is just annoying. I agree with stages though, since the best ones are Omega forms anyways
The part about casuals thinking Kirby is good isn't true. It's Pikachu they all cry broken about, has been since 64. They just like Kirby because he's easy to play and girls love him because pink and cute.
Nigger most people respect power suit samus way more than ZSS, the fuck are you on about. Especially on Yea Forums. People shit on you for being fucking annoying and irrational.
Furthermore, Samus out of her suit isn't even a very remarkable design. People aren't drawn to Metroid for that, there are sexier and lewder characters out there. Samus even in her zero suit would not be as popular if not for the fact that she is still the same Samus that everyone knows to be really cool.
As kids with melee my brother always won with Kirby, I was convinced he was the best until 4 came out and I took thengame seriously
No. It's the game I've dropped the fastest after playing. I spent tons of time even on brawl, which was a sort of disapppointing but extremely fun game. This game is severely lacking in depth, content, and thought. Melee is my favorite followed by 64 then Brawl. 4 and ultimate aren't even good games to me.
>tiers are for queers and any character can be good if you know what you're doing
This isn't completely true, there are some characters that definitely struggle a lot at high level. The thing is, Ultimate is balanced enough that tiers don't really come into play unless you're a top 50, maybe top 100 player. Any character in the game can clean house at locals or online. So yeah follow your dreams, if you still have fun with Kirby then don't stop playing him.
It seriously takes less than 5 hours to get all the characters but I agree in principle that unlocking shit is for RPGs
The way it was handled in Ultimate bordered on parody with how badly it was done.
You realize a lot of this game's players are 10 now right? Should they not get the same fun you had when you were a kid just because you feel entitled to having your current preferences as a 30 year old catered to?
Little Mac needs a rework
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
I suppose? I never really played too much of the others and never really took em seriously. Kinda had a love/hate relationship with it for a couple months but I really like it now. Stuff like the input buffer just felt really obtuse at first, and sometimes quickplay just decides to match you with nothing but degenerates and laggy assholes.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
yeah R.O.B is the best he's ever been. Gyro is fun and versatile, the SPEEN is stupidly good, Laser is great for sniping, up-b is great, dtilt and nair are disgustingly good, and the rest of his moveset is great too.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Dunno. I just hope he can cover R.O.B's horrifically matchups (Pikachu and Palutena mainly)
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Probably, I've likely played it the most out of any Smash so far.
> Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
My Ultimate main has gotten no real changes since day 1 thankfully. My Smash 4 main, Villager, was pushed out of the meta by DLC, he didn't really get the buffs he needed to compensate in Ultimate, he also lost to swords and Ultimate meta is 1/3rd swordies so he's nearly unplayable. He's fine for what he is but I'm not interested in using him anymore.
> Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
I hate the idea of pay to win but the only actual bad DLC is Hero's RNG fuckhouse, I loved B&K so I'll play Banjo regardless.
Also heavyfags and singleplayerfags are the biggest fucking babies in this fanbase. Ridely is fine and no one who plays Smash regularly gives a rats ass about things like Home Run Contest.
I dunno why Kirby is allowed to suck so hard when Pikachu/Pichu have basically the same sort of moveset+amazing airspeed
They don't have 5 jumps.
>that webm
I like his animations. Inkling is fun every now and then too.
They give little Mac a completely new moveset and give his old moves to glass joe as a new fighter
Been trying to learn Pac-Man. He's super fun but also really complex. He has alot of cool setups as seen by the millions of compilations, but actually trying to learn to get those openings is tough.
John Sandwich is the only good Splatoon SFM artist, sadly.
I like how my mains have been treated. Incineroar got buffed since release although k Rool got undeserved nerfs I hardly ever play him anymore.
I feel like all they really need is to give him his brawl dash back and a less lagged hammer
>He's pretty fucked as it is
Ridely is like a high mid tier, he's perfectly usable since he has good MUs against a lot of characters that aren't like, Palu or Snake. Lord knows if he were actually high/top tier you fucks would be begging for him to be nerfed so you could keep pretending you're a cool low tier main.
I mean, they technically do. angled up-b goes super high (basically 2 jumps), they can act out of side-b, and down-b boosts them up a bit. and you can't punish that up-b at all if they go low (meanwhile Kirby is Free Dunk Estate during those 5 jumps)
Plus Meta Knight has decent airspeed and the same amount of jumps.
The Nintendo 64 version is still the best. Even fags who play the new ones can’t beat me at this game.All the new ones are just mashing buttons.
The King needs buffed. His cannonball should break shields because fuck you
Flare blitz should also break shields, because fuck you.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Probably
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
I miss Pac-Man's fruit Z-drop shenanigans, but I'm also glad they finally fixed his grab. Still cant kill for shit though, but maybe that's just me.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
As long as he's not instantly winning tourneys and cause all of the retards to demand that he be nerfed or banned, then yes. I'm planning to try and main him when he comes out.
>Lord knows if he were actually high/top tier you fucks would be begging for him to be nerfed so you could keep pretending you're a cool low tier main
No, I wouldn't
Dude I know and every Mario Kart after MK64 is just such random bullshit!!?!
>angled up-b goes super high (basically 2 jumps)
That's not what two jumps means, that's just a good recovery.
>they can act out of side-b
After a ton of lag.
> down-b boosts them up a bit
Not enough to count as an extra jump, plus the real benefit of having more than one midair jump extends to things like having better landings, being able to chase people in the air higher and for longer, and extended air combos, Pikachu can't do any of this since he only has one air jump.
>Plus Meta Knight has decent airspeed and the same amount of jumps.
MK's moves have literally 1 active frame and very specific areas of effect while Kirby has long lasting moves like dair and fair and big aerials like uair and bair.
Lmao get fucked dude
Calm down, user
Durrrrrrr ME NEVER APPROACH ME PUNISH APPROACH ME GOOD.
Give me even one good reason why Flare Blitz shouldn't break shields. Fuck you. Also, mandatory shots of Captain Morgan before every competitive match. No exceptions. Get Zackray fucking wasted.
I like it alot both casually and competitively. If anything I WANT this to he the last smash game because I dont know how they are going to top this.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
No but I like it much much better than Brawl and Sm4sh to the point where I'll actually choose to play it because it's generally enjoyable and not just because it's the most convenient online Smash experience (which it isn't anymore since netplay is better than Ult online). I rate it just under 64 for my enjoyability because while I can play all 12 characters in 64 ad infinitum enjoyably, I can at least find 10 characters in Ult out of its 80 character roster that I enjoy playing for hours too. The mechanics are generally good and reward downloading your opponent since their options are limited to easily covered or reacted to scenarios, so it feels sort of more like a relaxing mental game setting like Street Fighter.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
The characters I tend to play are: Simon, K Rool, DK, Ryu, Fox, G&W, and Ike and Mac.
Simon and K Rool are obviously new.
Fox feels like he has a solid toolset but isn't as fun as in 64.
DK I think is the most enjoyable in the series aside from PM.
Ryu is great but the aurtoface mechanic combined with the buffer is such cancer that it feels more like I'm in an argument with my own character to do what he's told than fighting my opponent sometimes, especially online.
G&W is great for dthrow Judge.
Ike is more fun in PM but f-air is a great edgeguard and he still fights for his friends.
Mac is a good time until anyone just decides they're going to do to Mac what should be done to Mac. At least he's got decent movement now.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
He fucking better be cause he's my instant main on release.
Because getting a good read means the guy is dead? Plus it has long range.
>WuT
Yeah, right.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
A fan-request character actually being good for once? Sign me up.
Because Flare Blitz is a an unstoppable retard tier move that covers the whole stage and making it break shields would mean there'd be literally no situation in which you should not Flare Blitz towards your opponent because you will never be punished for it.
Ding ding bitch your opinion is shit
*R.O.B's horrifically BAD matchups
Huge start up, easy to avoid, huge endlag, I know the most about Flare Blitz you can ask anyone. And some cowards still shield it! Sad! Sakurai should make it break shields IMMEDIATELY!
>duck hunt
I cannot believe he has received nothing, but nerfs pretty much every patch since the release of ultimate, while faggots like Simon/Belmont are untouched.
They aren’t as gay or gimmicky. You just have to respect the cross, the axe as well, and recognize that he has hard hitting long range, he’s like little Mac off stage. He’s not even broken. Duck hunt is pure zoning bullshit, and I have no trouble stopping him but duck hunt mains are much more annoying to play against
I don't think Hero should be banned and those who do are just pussies.
That being said, Hero players are brainless and another addition to the "Brainless Online Spammer that gets into Elite free" group. Fits nice and easy next to Young Link and the Belmonts.
Anytime they bring up the spell list, that's your cue to get them.
Yeah he’s not too hard to beat. At least with my main.
Belmonts are so easy to beat though
I don't understand the off stage argument when you have a instant frame whip to get back to the stage. Simon/Belmont needed a heart system that would replenish after 10 seconds or so when depleted. They can spam too much and their items destroy every other persons items on impact. His whip length is absolutely ridiculous and holy bottle is annoying when he can set it on the side of the stage every second.
Extremely based as a Ridley main i know he still kicks ass and no one knows the matchup so you are garunteed a free kill
I use Simon Belmont and that thing seldom sets fire like it’s supposed to in the heat of battle. I don’t see how you struggle with him, he’s slow, and his up b is shot. That whip isn’t enough to consistently save him if you’re good. Then again I use Link so Idgaf about his projectiles. Im okay with Simon so I understand how he plays though
>when you have a instant frame whip to get back to the stage
This, I fought a good Richter recently and as soon as I hit him offstage he would just fair to get back, and fair's tether range is much further than the attack range and has a huge variety of angles making it so that I just had to guess where he would be.
In the shitton of rounds we played I was only able to hit him out of his fair recovery once, I don't understand why it's so hard to stop.
He's just a good match up against duck hunt. Probably the only issue really.
Wolf doesn’t care about him either. Marth/Lucina/Chrom make him look like a joke
desu the "ban or not" drama has kinda blown over already
not a single Hero placed anywhere near top 8 at Shine or Smashcon, the only majors since his release. he's got some duuuuuumb moves in his down-b but he's not busted to a bannable degree.
Bros how do you deal with projectile spam such as the Belmonts? When I jump above the projectiles and land too close they just smash attack me into oblivion
who are you playing as?
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
It's close
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Sadly I've never had a strict main and it fucking sucks
Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
No? I don't care how good or bad he is because I'm not playing beyond a mediocre level.
Wario.
I can use bite to eat some projectile but that leaves me open to a dash attack
definitely want to use your bike as a shield and a way to jump over characters who are spamming items. tough situation though. best thing is to be really aggressive and try to constantly be in their face to slow down the item tossing.
These characters are pains online. Haven't had much experience outside of it, but I know that they're pains in Online.
You sound like you need to git gud bro
I think they are the absolute worst, along with Inklings. Whoever thought it was a good idea that they dive into the ground as a run animation should be gassed than set on fire.
according to smash gsp, i'm 99.22% better than every player online. so getting good is already done. bull shit characters are going to be bull shit. nothing more, nothing less.
I don't wanna get used to the lag because then I get screwed over during locals.

Pro-tip: save the bait for the end of your post, so people won't stop reading after the first sentence.

>TFW none of the Metroid characters are super good except the one that was added as a gimmick in Brawl
>TFW Samus out of her power suit has a better recovery than fucking Ridley
all I have to compare. i've beaten nairo online multiple times, that work for you?
>shield drops
>edge canceling
>usable wavedash
>less/no buffer
>light shielding
>DI/SDI
>ledge hogging or some other way to give every character a reliable way to force people to land on stage/mix up recovery
It's a great game but it's not just ground to air momentum that its missing
>the fans the fans the fans rosterfag metroid has boobies ACfag blah blah blah, shill shill shill.
the world doesn't revolve around Yea Forums user, go actually play some fucking video games.
>I have to tolerate years of fandom shitposting and never once complain
>people should never be held accountable for their shitposts
I guess this works if you want Yea Forums to be Yea Forums 2.0.
The buffer systems ruins it for me. Haven't played it since Piranha Plant, will go back when Banjo releases, play him online for a couple of minute before realizing how awful the netcode and overall experience is and then put it away until the next character comes if I care about them.
Going to a small regional on Saturday, never actually played in a tournament before, what should I expect other than the smell I’ve heard so much about?
probably good players playing either high tier or annoying characters.
My bad. That said, I vastly prefer edge-trump to edgehog, as I feel it encourages going offstage and going deep to finish people off, which I have a lot of fun doing. Also DI never left, haven't they?
Mario isn't quite as fearsome as his 4 incarnation but he still feels great to use against pretty much anybody.
But then again, everybody in Ultimate feels good. It's definitely my favorite Smash game.
Smash Ultimate ain't really my favorite Smash game, but I'll play it over most Smash titles. Favorite Smash game has to go to Super Smash Flash 2.
I've been a Jigglypuff main since 64, so it's been a rollercoaster and half when it comes to the balances changes when she transitions to the game. I really do wish her specials would be tweaked (like being able to jump while using Rollout or Sing not lasting so long)
I'm mostly apathetic to the tier placements of characters since I don't attend tourneys, but it's a great indicator of who I'm gonna see online a lot.
>>TFW Samus out of her power suit has a better recovery than fucking Ridley
I will never not be mad at all the human characters having better recoveries than the freaking flying space dragon.
I haven't played since Hero released until the past couple of days. Holy fuck, fuck that asshole. Even in a casual setting being able to slot machine into an instant kill move is complete fucking horseshit.
>Likes the worst game in the series by far
>Calls anyone else's opinion invalid
Can't wait for you go to back to school already, chum. Summer's almost over.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
No, the online is shit. I get bored doing training shit because of it.

Definitely not my favorite smash game. Since melee the game has had a bullshit skill ceiling that basically anyone can reach within a few days. There are mechanics built into the game that favor poor players. Because the game disproportionately rewards defense, If you play too fast you will be punished. If you take any action first you will be punished. If you try to take control of the game in any way you will be punished. If you try to combo too hard you will be punished. If you ledge hog you will be punished. Rage is bullshit and rewards players for sucking. Also many characters have a rage mechanic built right in to their kit (Cloud, Joker, etc.). Hit stun is too low to follow up with most combos.
The game is clearly designed so that the player trying to take any action is at a disadvantage, and the result is a shitty campy game. Players just camp and poke hit for hit. Every time you make contact with a move you need to stop, back off, and reassess the situation. It doesn't open up any combo opportunities aside from MAYBE one extra hit. It's actually more likely that you've exposed yourself to a retaliation. The best players don't depend on their skill to win, they have memorized every characters options like an M2K robot. No players have any style. There is always a right and wrong thing to do, no in between. No room to get creative. The match-ups dictate everything.
Ultimate commentators have gotten so cringey. Instead of celebrating epic comboes they literally praise camping and running away.
"Like holy shit, do you see the way this guy does NOTHING like a BOSS!?!?"
Yeah, that's pretty much ultimate. It's accessible, so it's popular, but as a competitive game it's lame. It's literally designed not to be too competitive, and it shows. As long as you have a campy mindset and choose the right character you can do well in a tournament with hardly any experience, because they players that are actually trying to do things are the ones who lose.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Nope I was pretty disappointed in the speed and physics. Melee's still infinitely more rewarding. I tried to get into Ult but it's just not fun with the whole rolling around, instant recoveries, no combos, etc.
Obviously it is, it's a series that keeps on improving as it goes on.
Meleefags are meleefags. Like tripfags, one does not seek to wholly understand them but just sort of acknowledge that they exist.
Goddamn you sound absolutely horrible at Smash.
I like how you don't elaborate on any of your points
haha dude epiicc us 90s bros amirite duder? haha l8er sk8er gonna go chug this mtn dew :)

I have elite smash with every character I play and win at least 5 matches in any tournament I go to and I hardly even play.
And that's because playing this game doesn't make you better at it. As long as you know all your characters strengths and play like a fag you'll win.
is this Style Savvy?
would not mind a girl from it, just being a regular girl with no powers, hitting people with her purse or something.
>I have elite smash with every character I play
Irrelevant, it takes zero effort to hit elite since sub elite players are literal children.
> I play and win at least 5 matches in any tournament I go
A huge number of people at tournies are actual shitters. Congrats on getting 70th at a 100 person local I guess.
yes
>doesn’t understand sarcasm
>lets fanbase ruin game for him
>focusing this hard on one detail from a completely different game series and holding it against this one
Genuine diagnosed autist.
> No Trophies,
Underrated, trophies were fun as fuck.
I thought Smashfags were bad. Good to see the “haters” are just as special
G&W is the best he’s ever been ever in a smash game. Keep on testing out shit and look up videos. You’ll soon realize how crazy good he can be
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Lol no, better than smash 4 for sure, but is it that mind blowing crazy new experience Brawl was? No
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Wolf being a day one top tier kinda sucks, he was fun at first but everyone knows his weaknesses now.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Yeah, most of the characters are high tier to begin with, just not in the hands of the right players.
>Is Ultimate your favorite Smash game so far?
Yeah, without a doubt. Love the roster and the gameplay is the best since melee.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Doesn't really matter to me. I quickly found out that I actually had no idea how to play my main and I don't use her nearly as much anymore. Inkling appealed to me much more with both kit and design and it feels like I've got a real main for the first time. Now I actually put time into practicing and I've improved drastically which has been a lot more fun. My top four mains now are all either newcomers or characters I've never seriously played before.
>Can we all agree that Banjo being a top tier is for the good of the game?
Really depends. I don't mind if he plays solid without much gimmick. And even then I think it's always good to have more top tier characters, as long as they're not so overwhelmingly dominant that they are without a doubt the best in the game.
Favorite Smash game?
Just about. Respect melee, but I'm not gonna fish in the dumpster for a fucking CRT to play it again (oldfag).
Mains change?
Haven't played Smash since Brawl, which I hated beyond belief when I played it as a kid. Smash 4 had Wario, but he was weird, and he's amazing in this game.
Other mains I can't say, cause I mained Fox and Links in melee, and they're by far the corniest types of players imho. Regardless, balance is pretty good save for Hero, who's legit DUMB with the RNG.
Banjo being top tier:
Fuck yeah he should be top tier. Less swords, more wacky/odd approach/playstyle characters. Enough of the fucking preteen protagonist anime garbage in a Nintendo game.
>Are you happy with how they've changed your mains?
Yoshi is just not fun without movement, analog eggs, and DJC.
>Respect melee, but I'm not gonna fish in the dumpster for a fucking CRT to play it again (oldfag).
>not having a CRT or two for retro gaming
Disgusting.
At least just emulate and netplay.
i've never seen this particular scene though, where's it from?
Project M and the mods that add to it are miles better even without the everyone is here meme. I still enjoy Ultimate though, but I wouldn't call it anything more than average like the last 2 smash games.
