SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE (ง’̀-‘́)ง thread of fighting

yeah if you like Super Smash Bros., this is the best version on Nintendo's best console, and you should get it. If you have friends, this is not the most accessible thing to do with your friends on Switch (that's Mario Kart), but it's more accessible than a "real" fighting game.

i have never played a smash before

literally just got mario kart yesterday to have something to play with my best friend's kids on xmas

I don't know how to sell Smash to someone who's never played it before. I'd say it's sui generis but some stripped down imitators have been developed in recent years, some of them well-regarded, so it's more accurate to say it's genre-defining. It's both a deep competitive game and a goofy party game with lots of explosions and chaos and getting to play Bowser vs. Pikachu vs. Princess Zelda vs. the dog from Duck Hunt.

Watching my kids get their butts kicked online right now.

do you like video games
do you like nintendo
then yes
expect a trifle, be pleasantly surprised if you get really into it

haaaaaaaa!

3.0 update tomorrow with persona dlc and stage builder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmuTGcbu4Kc

the persona stage changing colors accordingly for persona 3/4/5 music is dope

also if you play smash with me from now until the end of time i will be picking Reach Out To The Truth as the music every game sorry in advance

I predict stage builder will amuse me for about eight minutes, wonder if the competitive scene will invent any sick new configurations of three platforms.

Edge-guarding is a sign of moral decay and anyone who does it should be shunned.

Careful you don’t want to end up on scrub quotes

if you push someone to the corner in street fighter, do you stop and let them walk back to the middle of the stage?

If you are a gentleman, yes.

We recently got a pretty big TV, but part of the fun of Smash is that when more than two of us are playing we typically have no idea what the fuck is going on. There's the three+ of us bouncing around, all the other creatures/action, the moving arenas ... it's just chaos!

Yes!

and the unnamed dragon quest protag before that, with separate costumes for 3,4,8,11

DQ hero out later today

Nice

You get to play as a Blizzard?

If anyone wants to play some online Smash with my kids, let me know via PM. They are too good for me at this point. We bought the ethernet adapter, so their latency should be low.

been playing lots of online ultimate lately, mostly as pac-man and bowser jr., so if you want to get beaten up by a ridiculous character send me your friend code
