Board 8 > Smash Bros Ultimate General Discussion: Episode IV: A New Hope

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was going to say it made no sense since the series hasn't had a game in forever, but then I remembered the last Castlevania game released was Lords of Shadow 2...

just imagine if this was playing to Goemon's reveal trailer instead of being relegated to some pachinko nonsense

Goemon's cool as hell

Ken's been leaked. Details are on the Smash board. Someone posted a non- blurry screenshot that has a ton of evidence towards it.
---

---

there's a HUGE leak on the Smash board which if true will have spoiled a lot of big surprises for me and I kind of regret seeing it
---

The Prima one?
---

I don't regret seeing it because it lets me lower my expectations instead of raising them too much
---

The Prima one?

yeah

and don't get me wrong there's a LOT I like there except the total lack of anything Kirby related and a ton of cool surprises but that's all the more reason to wish I hadn't seen it
---

Link to the Prima leak?
---

why would vault boy be in

not sure where the original source was but here's the Smash board topic about it

Yeah uh not buying that prima leak.

Ken though, badass.

why would vault boy be in

also why would the Fallout stage be HELIOS instead of... a Vault?

or is that detail so weird that it has to be real because no one would make it up
---

Yeah that leak is mega fake

Realistically speaking there are <3 characters left in this game anyway. People were kind of blinded by the last Smash Direct revealing 5, but three of those are echoes. The game is releasing soon and there have only been 2.5 full-fledged characters revealed so far. Sakurai did warn us!
---

2.5? We have Inkling, Ridley, Simon, and K. Rool, plus Isabelle who I'm assuming is the 1/2.
---

i get them not using a vault cuz "underground stage would be hard to do" but there are SO MANY better locations:

1) New Vegas Strip
2) Quarry Junction (where the Deathclaws are)
3) Tenpenny Tower
4) Diamond City
5) The Prydwen

i can probably name at least a dozen more that are cooler/more relevant/easier to make into a stage/more iconic than fucking HELIOS One
---

the leaker got confused: it's actually Fall Out Boy
---

Who's coming with me to Dallas tomorrow for the Best Buy smash event
---

Oops, forgot about Inkling and for the rest I couldn't count. Regardless, we're close to release and there's no way we're getting 10 more characters like a lot of these 'leaks' try to show.
---

yeah I really think we are just getting Ken and a Pokemon, although I'm still not 100% sold on it being Incineroar (although it's looking like that)

I do think Shadow will be DLC at the very least, he's too easy and highly requested NOT to do
---

Fallout is a weird enough choice that I can buy it.
---

i really think if Bethesda and Nintendo were to agree on a rep it would be Dragonborn

However if Nintendo just wanted anything from Bethesda and let them pick I could see Todd Howard choosing Vault Boy

I don't think getting a Bethesda rep in the game would be Sakurai's biggest priority tho

I doubt this all that's left because it's so anticlimactic. We got 2 new and 3 echo characters from the last direct, I feel like there at least has to be two full characters left for the final pre-launch Direct.

you have to have a big opener and closer !
---

the last direct was Isabelle
---

I mean last Smash Direct. I'm assuming we're getting one more that will focus on the secret mode / other single player content.
---

smash direct to announce an eshop demo plz
---

A new leaker with some credible history has shown up and said that Steve from Minecraft is playable.

Vergeben says he although he has not specifically heard about Steve being playable he believes that this leaker has legitimate information and is probably telling the truth.
---

I only now realized how funny it is that none of the 3 Links are echos

which imho means we should get an echo for each Link tbqh
---

Dark Link
Dark Toon Link
Dark_Young_Link
---

I need to get Ravio in there

One of the demo cities? How did you play for more than 5 minutes?
---

Ermine had to trade those 8 hours for life in prison after murdering everyone who tried to cut him off.

It was in Canada and they had 4 set ups going so they basically got through the line within 30 minutes.

Then some people (like myself) stuck around and just played the whole rest of the day.

Probably got like 30+ matches in with Ridley my boi <3
---

Was it the same characters as the E3 demo?

I can answer all Ridley questions.

And maybe a little Pokemon trainer.

I played like 50+ Ridley matches
2 Pokemon Trainer matches
1 Zelda match

A man after my heart <3
---

Did you play as default Ridley or any alt colors
---

I played the more silver looking one with GREEN TEETH a lot

And sometimes I played Gold Ridley too

And OG Ridley a few times
---

How slow and awkward is Ridley?
---

He's like, really fast and slow at the same time. His ground speed is hella fast but his aerial movement is poop.
---

Is his damage as busted as everyone says?

I love heavies.

huh, so he's... kind of little mac-ish? I wasn't expecting that

His damage is alright. Everyone does hella damage. It's hard to tell since a lot of the matches are 4 man free for alls with items.

His down B is sooooo good tho
