Is it bad I'm more excited for the Octo Expansion DLC than Smash 4 Switch itself? I mean, don't get me wrong, this is a pretty impressive reveal, but I'm not much of a Smash player.

That said, I'm predicting that Smash will have an emphasis on a tag mechanic, perhaps like Pokemon Trainer meets Marvel vs. Capcom. I'm not sure if that'd work well, but given Nintendo's current MO is to innovate the crap out of their franchises now, it wouldn't surprise me.

Then again I'd be perfectly fine with it just being a port of Smash 4. That game is huge and I'm sure Wii U/3DS owners would appreciate having a Switch version. Just add in a story mode with less crappy level design and we're good. :V

I'm wondering if Sakurai still has his hands on the project after so many comments on how he is done with Super Smash Bros.

I for one cherish this announcement. I spent countless hours on the original and Melee and while I didn't really play Brawl and the WiiU/3DS iteration due to my lack of owning a Wii and WiiU, I was looking forward for a Switch version. The question if we get a new SMB wasn't really a question because SMB is a gold mine and one of the flagship titles of Nintendo. Not releasing a new Super Smash Bros. on their new hot selling console would be like throwing money out of the window.

As Nintendo 64 and Wii player of Super Smash Bros I definitely enjoy this news.
This chaotic series is very funny to play and is worth to continue.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Also, can we get the Ice Climbers back?

I got my Switch all of yesterday, just before the Nintendo Direct.

Even though I've only briefly touched on the series since the original, these games have always been a blast to pick up and party with. The core notion of the series just works so well and the games are consistently fun regardless of skill level. Definitely something to look forward to.

Is Ness still good? Can I still beat my 11 year old brother with Ness? He plays as Samus.

Now that Undertale's been announced for the Switch, you're gonna have to learn Sans instead.

Well, you could play 64 or Melee and have a good time.

I get the feeling Sakurai is hating her though.

If I had a Switch the WoL trailer wouls have all but sold me on the game alone, much less with everything else that usually comes in a Smash title.

I'm really not sure why of all the newcomers coming with the base game

they decided to keep the most obvious and easy to guess newcomer for last.

Belmont or even K.Rool being last would have been so much more hype than

I know Sakurai implied they'd already decided the DLC, but announceing this so early on dosen't look the best. [Content being held back ect]. I mean, this wouldn't be coming until after Plant.

Also it seems REALLY strange that a Switch-Exclusive has a PS4-exclusive rep. Unless suddenly P5 is getting ported to Switch.

That said if this is actually happening... I am hype.

Edit: Looked up the source ect of where this was aired. It's happening.

Also from what I can tell Sakurai has previously said he's a massive Persona fan. So... what else is Sakurai a massive fan of that's not already in Smash? We might be able to discern other DLC's; especially as they appear to be coming in packs. ~~In before he's a secret Touhou fanboy and we get Reimu or Marisa in Smash~~

Spirits mode is so creative in how they recreate classic battles, I love it.

Raikaria · « **Reply #25 on:** December 07, 2018, 03:20:50 PM »

So; something I'm seeing a lot of discussion over is the Final Smash.

A lot of people are saying 'obviously All-Out Attack' but the catch is the trailer specifically says Joker went alone so a lot of potential for that is gone IMO.

Which makes the obvious path somewhat spoiler for people who haven't played P5; in Sataniel. Especially if he's strictly using Arsene in Smash.

The third option IMO is a bit more abstract and is basically Joker changing the enemy's heart by stealing their treasure. Maybe he throws a calling card to trigger it and if it hits that fires the cinematic. This is actually my personal favorite, especially if they put in the work to give every character a different 'treasure' to be stolen.

I have high hopes for SSBU to do what P4A did and have Arsene turn into

Spoiler:

for Joker's FS. Though

Spoiler:

, visually, would seem too close to Link's Ancient Arrow FS if that was the case; If it isn't, then Megidolaon or Riot Gun would probably also make sense (since those are his skills in P5).

Raikaria · « **Reply #27 on:** December 07, 2018, 09:11:57 PM »

I'd personally expect something similar to Falcon or even Snake's FS in that situation.

Edible · « **Reply #28 on:** December 08, 2018, 01:19:25 AM »

Joker's FS is gonna be the AAA finish attack, maybewith cameos from a few other Kaitoudan folks.
