Super Smash Bros.

[StoneKnightMan]

do you guys wanna know something interesting about Super Smash bros for the N64?

i hear that peach, bowser, wario, zelda, king dedede, mewtwo, marth, and pit were planned to be added as playable characters. but they were scrapped because sakurai didnt have enough time to add them into the game. but they did get added in later installments. also. final smashes were planned to be introduced in 64, but that got scrapped too. but it was brought back into brawl.

also, there were more planned characters for melee.

Leif from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 was intended to be added, but sakurai decided to add roy instead because his game, the binding blade, was soon to be released in japan.

Snake was also asked to be put in by Hideo Kojima when he was still with konami, but was scrapped because sakurai didnt have time to be put in. he was added in brawl though.

Sonic was also requested to be added, but was scrapped because just like snake, sakurai didnt have time to put him in. he was added in brawl.

other retro NES characters like Bubbles from Clu Clu Land, the balloon fighter from balloon fight, excitebike, and urban champion were planned to be playable in addition to the ice climbers.

another character named Ayumi Tachibana from the famicon game, Famicon Detective Club, was also planned to be added as a playable character.

now planned characters for brawl

Villager was planned to added, but sakurai scrapped him, saying "he wasn't suited for battle". probably couldn't think of his moveset at the time.

miyamoto requested sakurai for pac man to be added as playable, but sakurai couldn't because he could not think of a good moveset for him.

dixie kong, toon zelda and toon shiek (possibly tetra) were planned but scrapped.


and characters that were planned for smash bros for wii u and 3ds

Takamaru from The Mysterious Murasame Castle was planned to be added as a playable character, but sakurai decided not to because he wasn't familiar with the west.

I would love for Dixie Kong to be a fighter. I can only hope for her to be an upcoming DLC character.

I got Smash Ultimate as a Christmas gift, I didn't like the Wii U or Brawl games so I honestly wasn't expecting to touch the game at all. There's a lot of improvements, physics wise. In the last two games the characters felt a bit too slow and clunky, Ultimate feels pretty nice and smooth again like I almost remember. Good job, team.
The thing that's holding me back from enjoying the full game is the online subscription, I might try to find a few close friends who want to join a family subscription with me.

The only non-event (I think the partner pokemon from LGPE), non fighter spirit I'm missing is Lion Tamer or whatever it is from G&W. Aside from that I've got one of each spirit, sometimes two in case summoning options come up from new event spirits.

I just saw that one a minute ago on the Spirit Board. I think it's mostly all random although it does tilt the probability a bit towards the ones that you don't have or ones that you need to summon unique ones. I have like 20 Spirits to go and I'm missing generic bullshit like Electrode and Airman.

I'm missing a handful of spirits, I'm fairly certain they're ones which can only be purchased in the vault.

Also I've been trying to 9.9 Classic mode and decided on Incineroar.

I keep getting 9.8's.

do classic mode as ryu, all his battles are stamina battles and ken will join in the last fight against master and crazy hand

Apparently someone has datamined the game and has found traces of the upcoming DLC characters:

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/acbt7o/smash_ultimate_dlc_character_codenames_found/

Jack is believed to be Joker and Brave is believed to be another SE character, particularly someone from Dragon Quest. I feel it's a red herring personally.

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/acdroi/parameters_for_piranha_plant_and_joker_have_been/

Info about PP and Joker have also been data mined. They are quite interesting.

Here's a pastebin of the info:

I managed to do it with Incineroar.

I actually grew to like them, though it's a pity about their recovery (though it's the most murder-y of up-specials.)

I just wish I could get online to battle people, for some reason I can't connect.

Are you paying for the online service?

 

[Sable]

Are you paying for the online service?

Yes.

I don't know if it's an internet thing or not considering it's not been an issue with other things (like PC gaming or whatnot) until now, but it's the only Switch game I have with online so I dunno if it's Smash specific.

Edit: It's because of the router/modem thing I'm using and I don't think there's a way around it.

It's a shame really, it'd really have added to the longevity of the game.

Has anyone ever had the game reset their controls to default after trying to start an arena? I had a 1v1 go to to absolute shit because I kept getting smash attacks instead of tilts. Also, Inkling is way to stumpy for me, so it’s back to Palutena or the Belmonts.

 

[Sable]

Augh yeah folks, I bought a new fancy router just so I can lose to random people at Smash!

I can finally learn and stuff.

Yes, when you're selecting your character, you need to select your name which is mapped to your control scheme as well. You can do so by clicking on your tag over your character on the select screen. Once you do, it'll stay that way for good.

You can also set the default control scheme for whenever you're nameless in the "controls" menu so you don't aren't disadvantaged if you forget to pick a name.

Also Inkling feels a lot like a character people say is one of the best, but you never see people do amazingly well with.

Try to get a wire adapter too. Most of the delay from online comes from the fact you're using wifi over the actual connection speed.

I ordered one online before Christmas, but they ran out of stock and cancelled it a few days ago (which was a week after it was supposed to arrive)

Peach confirmed for tranny by the horrified look on Mario's face. Someone tell Brianna Wu.

After a severe grind and burning tons of support items, I finally got the Azura (Fire Emblem Fates) Spirit from the Spirit Board which will go nicely with the uber-powered Zero Spirit I got a bit after the game came out.

Faux-Gaccha elements in Smash Bros shouldn't make me as excited as they have, but grinding and abusing Spirits for prizes is my fucking LIFE right now, holy shit. If only they kept custom moves from Smash 4.

 

[Sable]

I bit the bullet and got mangled using random characters online to complete more of the challenges.

In one fight I simply didn't bother recovering if I got knocked off just to speed things up.

Now I can focus on a core of 2/3 mains.
