Title: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: kypherion on December 05, 2018, 11:47:58 am

I'm planning on maining Ganon since he's my primary guy and I've mained him since Melee. I also plan to main Simon/Richter because I'm a huge Castlevania fan. I'd also like to play Cloud as I never had a Wii U for Sm4sh and wanted to play Cloud since I beat FF7.

Who do you plan to main?

I'll stick with my go-tos of Mega Man, Luigi, Samus, and a few others.

But, I'm open to new characters.

Sadly I won't be buying Smash on day one this year :(.  I'm fully focused on investing and trying to better my life to get more comfortable financially before I start back into games again.  It was a tough decision but I feel like i'm spending all my money on games and should have more money before I do that. I will always stay the same financially if I don't invest and plan for the future.


But when I do buy it, (probably in a few months)  definitely pikachu.  She has always been my girl of choice :)

My same main in every game...

"Random"

Character has its weak points, but it's an overall solid character.

Ultimate is the first game to allow you to play as a female Pikachu though.

I've always been a Link player since the start (Though I've only ever played 64 and Smash Bros Wii U), so Champion Link will definitely be my likely main.  I'm gonna be trying out the Belmonts and Ken to see how I like them too.

Ice Climbers. Their exclusion from the last game really perturbed me. So glad they're back (along with literally everyone else).

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: bikingjahuty on December 05, 2018, 05:27:05 pm

Since Ultimate is essentially Smash 4.5 I am going to main Zero Suit Samus as she was my main in 4 on the Wii U. I love how fast and powerful she is.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: sworddude on December 05, 2018, 05:41:25 pm

Marth

Might consider to also main some of the below but all characters at the very least as secondaries.

Ganon
Capt falcon
Roy
Ike
Richter/ simon belmont
Cloud
yoshi

Too early to tell. I used Ness a lot in Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U but as of late have used Dr. Mario a lot too. I'm interested in trying out Simon and Richter and definitely King K. Rool.

Post by: wolfen on December 05, 2018, 08:47:20 pm

I have been using Ganondorf since I first played Melee as a kid and that will still hold true but, I am definitely going to be using Ridley, Incineroar, and King K. Rool. I love me a heavyweight.

Another Ganon main lets' go! I love this guy so much. Everybody thinks he's bad and then when you get them to 50% in 3 hits they freak out.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: bikingjahuty on December 05, 2018, 09:39:11 pm

If we're discussing secondaries than Pikachu is my main substitute. Pikachu was my main until Smash 4.

Post by: ignition365 on December 05, 2018, 09:54:29 pm

Oh, if we're talking secondaries as well, my secondary is Mr. Game and Watch.

In smash 4 he was the noob and average player crusher one of my favourite characters to play as well on high lvl he's very tough to use though since he is pretty slow. If people make mistakes or you have the reads Damage racks up quick.

however I think Ganon will play different in smash ultimate than the ganon we loved in the past I'll see though. i do however hope that at some point they'll give back his twilight princess alt as an extra option as his appearance since I kinda preffered that look on him.

I’ve mained Pikachu since the N64 days. I’m not good enough to main anyone. I’m looking forward to several of the new/dlc smash4 folks. I didn’t play near enough of that one.

I like Twilight Princess over Ocarina of Time, it aged better and doesn't have the poor design of early 3D games.

Roy has been my main since I first played Melee so... Roy.
I might try Joker though.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on December 08, 2018, 04:55:36 am

So due to Marth being the only character I unlocked in World of Light that I actually want to play, I basically spent 5 hours playing World of Light and unlocking characters as quickly as I can, and I'm now a Marth main lol Probably the most time I've ever invested into a Smash game since I only played 64 and Wii U.  My hands are broken, but cool to really feel like I learned a character compared to just sticking with Link because I like him.  Do miss having more than just sword strikes, but maybe once I get Link, I'll take the time to learn him properly.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: oldgamerz on December 08, 2018, 05:43:40 am

I don't have enough money for either Smash Ultimate or the Nintendo switch. Nor can I enjoy video games anymore

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: Cartagia on December 08, 2018, 08:28:21 am

So I started playing last night and after about 45 minutes I start getting some major drift in my controller - I'm talking it is just slamming down on the left thumbstick.  So, I open it up, clean it out, and its better for a bout 20 minutes and it starts drifting again.

I'm using one of the wired PowerA Plus controllers (Zelda BotW), which just looks amazing, so I'm a bit disappointed, so I open a warranty issue, but I've still got a crap ton of GC controllers, so I can just use those - at least for Smash.

I'm talking to my girlfriend about it afterwards, basically just saying "Well, I guess I'll just get a Pro controller eventually.  I wanted to hold off, cause they are kind of expensive."  And, bless her heart, with her terrible poker face.  I just take one look at her - "That's what you got me for Christmas, isn't it?"

And that's how Smash ruined Christmas.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: bikingjahuty on December 08, 2018, 10:47:57 am

I've put around 8-hours in since getting the game Thursday night and I am pleasantly surprised by how much more fun this game is than Smash on the Wii U. In Smash 4 there were maybe 3 characters that I really enjoyed playing as, maybe 5 that I mostly enjoyed, and the rest I thought were meh to flat out terrible. While I do have a few favorites, the tweaks to characters like Fox and Link have made them regulars for me for the first time ever. Also Simon Belmont and King K are extremely fun to play as. I'm still working on the roster, but so far this is a noticeably refined game over the previous game.


The only thing that is pretty annoying that has been hard to ignore is how much less fun and interesting unlocking Spirits and costume accessories is versus trophies. Luckily the character unlocking has kept me invested, but once all of them are unlocked I'm not sure how motivated I'll be to continue playing. We'll see.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: sworddude on December 08, 2018, 11:36:21 am

i kinda prefer the spirit system over the throphy's It's a bit inbetween stickers and throphies I like it.

Collectible  but in the sticker aspect way less chaotic wich just made the stickers just something to ignore, Throphies where fun but to be fair I never really tried to get all the trophy's especially the charater specific ones wich you had to get by beating classic on easy hard normal etc with each and every character having multiple throphies. No thank you.

Still though multiplayer withouth any spirits is where it's at. I can imagine that for some it was kinda a cruel joke that you have to unlock 60+ charaters even if there is some glitchy way to abuse 1 stock vs battles with sd's if you wanted to play some normal multiplayer from the bat.

Gameplay wise it really feels allot different than smash 4 pretty interesting though.

World of light is better than smash 4 single player content but it was not sub space emmisary level wich I almost thought it would have been considering the intro.

I will say the tournament mode mario starting screen is pretty sweet.

Post by: bikingjahuty on December 08, 2018, 12:15:29 pm

I've mostly just been doing classic Mode and playing locally with friends and my GF, but I'll need to check out those other modes as well at some point. It's been so long since I played Brawl that I barely remember anything about it. From what I remember and also what I've read it may be hard to return to it someday, but we'll see.

also as far as brawl with sub emmisary goes you could progess through the story in co op 2 player mode wich was fun.

Not to mention that I'm pretty sure brawl was the only smash game with the boss rush mode with an even more difficult setting than the hardest mode in the story mode with limited stocks.

Brawl is a pretty excellent game it definitly had some good stuff

Also the sound effects in brawl are very cheesy wich isn't a bad thing.

Post by: kashell on December 08, 2018, 04:36:12 pm

With all characters unlocked and a couple of hours of couch co-op finished, I can say that this is a good game. Is it the best Smash? I'm not sure. Something feels lost from the transition from Wii U to Switch. I'm not sure what that something is, but it's there. But, for the most part this is fun.

*The roster was a grind to unlock, even with the "reload glitch"
*But, seeing all of those faces (new and old) feels worth it
*The Belmonts are slow, but mighty - I'm not mad at that. Of the two, I think I prefer Richter
*Luigi has somehow become my best character
*I love all of the stages, musical options, items, etc.
*Attacks feel slower, but have some extra oomph behind them

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: sworddude on December 09, 2018, 05:21:15 am

The extra oomph I get but not will all moves

For example falcon's knee or ganondorfs downair don't feel that satisfying when they hit unless it is a fatal attack. It's almost as empty as what they did with the hammer.

Also a shame that pivot grabs are kinda useless in this game since you can't seem to run through people kinda a sad day for especially falcon

So my main in Brawl/Wii U/3DS was Mr. Game and Watch... and I've yet to play as Game and Watch in Ultimate, but from what I've seen they have totally revamped Game and Watch.

They also did a heavy revamp on Link and... he is totally playable for me now... not only that, I think he's going to be my main for Ultimate.

I know right?! Same here!


I've never been a huge fan of Link or really any of the other sword characters, but oddly enough Link is my best character in Ultimate, while ironically Pikachu, my main for every Smash except 4, is one of my worst characters so far. Ultimate is definitely a different beast than any of the other Smash games which is nice since I totally thought it was mostly just going to be a Switch port of 4.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on December 13, 2018, 05:09:45 pm

After getting stuck in with Marth, I spent the other half of the game playing as Bowser.  I really dig his style and has been a pretty fun time playing with such a heavy hitter.  Got one more section of World of Light to do and I might try someone else for the final go.  Maybe Simon/Richter or Samus.

that's kinda ironic actually since in this game pikachu might be the best character since he benefits the most from this smash 4 melee hybride kind of style that ultimate has.

I must say that I Enjoy playing as the belmonts more than I'd like to admit.

Lucario has been a surprise favourite of mine. Especially in spirit mode using the trade-off spirits(the ones that buff your fighter at the cost of +30% damage) and with his ability I find it pairs really well. Otherwise it's been the belmonts as my main and I would use Ike for unlocking characters.

For whatever reason I'm not nearly as good with him as I am in previous Smash games. I feel like I've progressively got worse with Pikachu since the first game.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: kashell on December 14, 2018, 09:04:20 am

I think I settled on my three mains.

Mega Man is my favorite. I really like his move set because it pays homage to some of my favorite games growing up. Leaf Shield has vastly improved since Smash U, so that's a nice perk. Everything else feels just as satisfying as before.

Luigi is still my "best" character. I never even thought of using him until I started playing Brawl. He just clicked.

Finally, Mewtwo. He's so floaty and fun. I really want to get better with pulling off his neutral-air. It seems like there's a lot of potential with that. Also, I'd like to get better with his down B. With the right timing, that seems like it could mess up some folks.

I'll still dabble in some favorites on the side: Samus, Dark Samus, Pac Man, Marth, ROB, and Richter. But, the above three are the ones I enjoy using the most. I wish World of Light let me get to them sooner.

Title: Re: Who will you main in Smash Ultimate?
Post by: ignition365 on December 14, 2018, 09:08:02 am

I finished WoL, but it didn't really force you to play as anybody, so I went through solely as Mario and Link... made things super easy.

Mr. Game and Watch appears to still be my best character.  Link is fun to play as now.  I still need to play as other characters to see if anything is new and good.

I'm disappointed that you can't play Random in Online Smash.
