GROWING LOUDER AS IT CALLS TO UNITE
I don't like how so many Nintendo games now have lyrics in their main themes.
Just give us a season 3 with Crash Bandicoot, Leon Kennedy and Lara Croft and i'm cool.
Best version.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmyYyQtdbc
I hate the song from Smash Ultimate and I, without irony, would rather listen to the planet sheen intro
I see we are treating leaks as hard confirmation again even though star fox being announced in april didn't happen
And who the fuck is kiwi talkz anyways
>>738234561because starfucks has always sucked ass outside of the snes duology while on the other hand every game released by masahiro sakurai becomes a perfect case study in my eyes for why game design is so coolsimple as
Oh boy, more 'rumors'.
>>738234269It's official news or nothing
>>738234403Honestly surprised this wasnt done already, I thought a Season 3 pass would have been a perfect excuse to get some new guy director to take their hands at leading a Smash development cycle and then hype em up for the next gameThen those Sakurai's dev talk series came out and realized that franchise wont get properly milked until he dies, for better or worse
>>738234269I’m not playing Smash until Waluigi is in the roster.
>>738234783But you’re assuming whoever succeeds him will also want a constant workload for Smash as well, when it sounds exhausting and annoying to deal with in general. Sounds like an easy way to just make someone resent and burnout on working on this series.
>>738234854
>>738224819>"Sakurai will NEVER be freed from the Smash mines!">Air Riders announced>"Sakurai FORCED Nintendo let him work on his passion project as a reward for making Smash for a decade!">Sakurai goes into detail about how Nintendo and HAL asked him to make a new air rideThese people know nothing and will only keep betting on smash because at some point there will inevitably be a new smash. The only way this could've been an unsafe prediction is if they said a new Smash wasn't coming by 2028.
>Protagonist comes back in the darkest hour to save the day one last time KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
URBAN CHAMPION IN SMASH 6 OR WE RIOT #URBANCHAMPIONSWEEP #URBANCHAMPIONSRISEUP
>Kiwi Talkzhe doesn't know shit, the only Nintendo "insiders" he knows are guys who left Retro Studios twenty years ago
>>738234783Sakurai genuinely likes being the Smash guy. He constantly bragged about the worldwide attention the series gets on his YT channel all the time. Not only does he get to work with beloved series, but he makes fucking bank. It's no wonder he helps push the "there is no Smash without me" message
Not getting hyped unless Sakurai gets hit by a car
Only 64 and Melee were good. Brawl through Ultimate are shit.
>>738236185Zoomers think Urban Champion is one of the worst videogame ever made. I wouldn't hold my breathe on that one.
>>738238559Incorrect. It's:Ultimate > 64 > Melee = 4 > Brawl
>>738234269No... please... /v/ can't handle more years of smash threads.
>>738238694Ultimate is slop
>>738234269I thought he said he didn't want to do this shit anymore?
>>738238680uncs on gamefaqs have been saying this since the early 2000s
>>738238559True.
You now remember Steve posting
>>738234403>one scrimblo bimblo and two more boring humans with their punch, kick and gunshot attacksWhen will you retards learn that adding characters just because you like their franchises is fucking stupid?If you want a fun game you need to add characters that can have unique movesets and options, not just another human who does human things. Snake already does that and we don't need another Snake.
How do they even follow-up on Smash after Ultimate? They're not going to make a new game that is Ultimate + more characters because that's not happening.They're not making Ultimate Switch 2 deluxe edition + new DLC characters either because the game is done and Sora was the final fighter.If they revamp or reboot the series, people will bitch and moan about change or cut characters or whatever.
>>738234403spbp, objectively.
Is Sakurai the Michael Jackson of gaming?
>>738234269It's fake and that X post got community noted to ensure its fake
I can just imagine Sakurai scrolling X yesterday and finding out he's developing a new Smash game.
>>738239041>How do they even follow-up on Smash after Ultimate?Melee HD
>literally who>reportedly>rumoredoh fuck off
>>738239469i dont understand what meleefags see in their game that makes it the best in the series. 64 and brawl are both more fun to play unless youre a tryhard who would love to develop arthritis at 25
>>738238559but brawl is the best though
>>738239531>brawlstupid nigger
>>738239041The next one will just be an upgrade similar to what Ultimate was to Smash 4. They won't call it Switch 2 edition cuz they'll want people to pay $80 to play it.>there's no way they get everyone backWhat company do you think will hold out on their character being included in Smash? It's the best advertising for a series imaginable and crossover synergy bullshit is at an all time high. And why would Nintendo make a Smash with less characters than Ultimate, when 99% of players only care about which characters are playable? Anything less than Ultimate will be seen as a downgrade, which might have passed a decade ago, but with Ultimate playable on Switch 2, they put themselves in a corner where they have to outdo it or the majority of players will just stick with their ten year old game that they already own and can still easily play. Smash Ultimate sold almost as much as every smash before it combined, they're not ever going back to 40 character rosters.
>>738234948WTF is this real?
>>738239571you will never have a box art (or game) this kino
>>738234349https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44MyrH4jwOQ
>>738239621Square Enix apparently, they let Cloud and Sephiroth in the game but only added like 2 songs, compared to SNK adding 40 songs because they're desperate
The original "leak" is some faggot saying there will be a Smash game released sometime in the next two years and it's not necessarily a new game. Could be an NSO release. It's total "no shit" speculation. He said nothing about Sakurai.
>>738239661Yo to the briiiicks
>>738234883>he believes the weird emaciated faggot's constant tired salary man performancekekHackurai is a shitter. Purge house and put some young blood in charge that isn't afraid of making smash a non casual game.
>>738239706Music rights isn't solely Square though. Sakurai went over the difficulty of getting FF7 music when they added Sephiroth, because that's when they added more FF7 music. And Square is also much more desperate than they were when they let Nintendo put Cloud in base Ultimate, part of which is because the FF7 remake trilogy they pumped a shit ton of money into isn't performing as well as they wanted. An easy way to advertise that would be to put Cloud and Seph in Smash again.
>>738239531Melee is just the most fun smash game to play, even casually. My friend group were all shitters (myself included) who didn't even know there was such a thing as competitive smash and no one knew what the fuck a wave dash was. I fucking mained zelda. Zelda, not sheik, zelda 90% of the time and sheik only 10%. I did also play marth, samus, mewtwo and DK. We always had 64, melee, and brawl on deck. We played a little bit of 64 and brawl but over 50% of the time we all collectively just wanted to play melee. It just felt the best to play.
>>738240172strange
>>738234269An story mode with an actual story, cinematics, and stages like in Brawl would be amazing, the most fun I've had was playing that with my sister back in the day.
Nobody who's played Ultimate for more than its release week likely wants anything to do with that game. It fails at nearly everything.Its main single player offering quickly gets dismantled into a pathetic, tedious, repetitive series of what are technically sort of like Event matches. You are guided towards building a Spirit loadout that wins within seconds, and should a Spirit present any form of inconvenience, you can simply ignore. The game will even do it for you with one button press, which is hardly the issue, moreso that the option to equip spirits that completely ignore the gimmick of the fight is there in the first place. Between it and Road Trip in Air Riders, I have very little faith Sora's team is actually capable of creating a compelling single player since their grasp on meta progression is absolute horseshit.Casual play was already worse in Smash 4 than in Brawl, thanks in part to dogshit new items such as mash reliant moves (Galaga/Beetle) or overtuned (Ore Club/Daybreak). Ultimate now brings along absurdly overtuned Assist Trophies and to a lesser extent Pokéballs (and Master Balls) with way too high of a spawnrate. I had tested it back then, the first item that spawned in a match was almost always one of the two. The sheer amount of damage and stage control the average Ultimate Assist Trophy offers is insane. Go back to Brawl and you'll see the difference. It is sort of justifiable in a way, as killing Assists counts as a kill, which would matter in time matches, which... nobody plays? My evidence here is purely anecdotal but I swear most people even among casuals play with Stocks. Anyway, while you get to watch Assists play the game you can also have the luxury of being interrupted by cutscenes every now and then, as you probably enabled Smash Meter and have the Smash Ball. Turbo Mode Wario was too fun so have a cutscene, I guess.Compfags can tell you more than enough about the failures of Ultimate on that side so i'll leave it at that.
>>738240172For whatever reason, people have forgotten that Melee is just a good game casually. It's fast, it's responsive, it's frantic and chaotic. The whole>no items, Fox only, Final Destinationstigma is not only outdated, it was always wrong, especially if you're playing with your friends casually. Nothing is stopping you from playing Bowser or Kirby in matches between friends.The same is true of Smash 64, albeit for different reasons. 64 is easy to pick up and play because the only advanced technique is Z canceling. The simplistic mechanics and high hit stun allow anyone to combo. Even though it's a game with brutal 0-to-death combos and shield break setups, it's fun and approachable casually. Remix is even more fun, even before you get into its settings and customize it.I don't know why there's this delusion that competitive and casual play can't coexist. Sakurai is, of course, the most deluded, but even average Smash players have fallen for it. It's like people forgot that there was a time when 64 and Melee was all we had growing up, and they were just fucking fun.
Can't wait for melee niggers to start dying off of old age or heart attacks, faggot pedophiles still crying about every Smash not being Melee 2 as if it was the greatest shit ever because they can't play a real fighting game.
>>738234269>2027Well there goes my hype for Smash Ultimate Super Deluxe Switch 2 Edition
>>738240531>Its main single player offering quickly gets dismantled into a pathetic, tedious, repetitive series of what are technically sort of like Event matches. You are guided towards building a Spirit loadout that wins within seconds, and should a Spirit present any form of inconvenience, you can simply ignore.Truth nuke. I really liked event matches, so I was initially optimistic about spirit battles and World of Light; unfortunately, spirits are so wildly imbalanced that the concept of fighting within specific constraints completely implodes as soon as you get a good spirit or two. It's extremely easy to create a spirit loadout that beats every single spirit battle regardless of the constraints or even the rock, paper, scissors system that's intended to force you to diversify your spirits. Not only is there no incentive not to do this, coming up with custom spirit loadouts for every single spirit battle is slow and awkward.>overtuned itemsAnother truth nuke. I think items peaked in Melee or maybe Brawl.>Compfags can tell youI'm intimately familiar with Ultimate's flaws as a competitive game, but there's really no point in describing them in detail. Some flaws are so obvious that they're self-evident, while others (3f jump squat, footstool and footstool i-frames, vertical jump velocity, auto-cancel aerials, innate DI mix-ups, parrying projectiles, frame data distribution, buffer, delay, directional air dodge to ledge) just get reduced to>um, actually, fighter's pass 2 is the problem, Ultimate's mechanics have no flaws>but all of these flaws apply to base game characters, many of whom are top tier>... fighter's pass 2 is the problemAnd then it's just impossible to actually discuss any of this shit in detail.
>>738241037Don't worry anon, Air Riders didn't finish development til last October, so Smash won't be til 2028
>>738234349Same. It's not that I dislike the music, although they can be pretty cheesy, but just because it's a sudden trend rather than an artistic choice. I don't think it's an artistic choice when all of a sudden all these games during the Switch generations have themes with lyrics.
i thought sakurai was over smash bros
>>738239041At this point it'll be a Switch 2 edition or a reboot
>>738234269Smash Bros as a series highlights just how retarded a lot of gamers are.Instead of playing an actual competitive fighting game, they try to turn the fighting game explicitly designed for casuals into a competitive fighting game instead.No wonder it sucks to play competitively, it isn’t designed for it.There’s no excuse for the shit netcode though.
>>738234269It's going to be obvious ultimate port for switch 2.
New Smash :)Sakurai in charge :(Guy is passionate, but his games are content over quality. In earlier smash he was limited by the support so he packed the games with gameplay mechanics, but nowadays he packs his games with unlockables and meaningless fluff
>>738234269> used to join the hype for Ultimate> celebration for every new character announcement> barley played 55 hours since launchI can make all excuses in the world but this is shamefulI think it’s better for me to set this one out… I am gonna miss it
>>738234269Sakurai would stop working with Nintendo altogether if they made him make another Smash game. It was already pawned off to Bandai Namco, and they just released Smash 4 twice in a row. If we're getting anything, it's a Switch 2 Edition of Ultimate with a handful of new characters and a new DLC cycle of rosterfagging. If we're lucky, it'll contain serious balance changes for all the DLC characters from Ultimate. But the next wave of Scrimblo Bimblos are going to be just as bad, if not worse.I wish this shit would just end. I'm dreading seeing daily threads about how Fritz the Cat, Sly Cooper, LEGO Batman, and Judy Hopps are all totally coming in the next Season pass.
>>738234269I am honestly excited for leak schizos when AI exist now
idk man, I really don't care about a new Smash where Peach, Ganondorf and company still have the same 2001 gameplay again. I really don't know what a new game could do in the gameplay department. It has been polished as much as it could.
