Is There a Community of Smash Bros Fans Here? if So What's Your Thoughts on Ultimate after The Final Direct?

Keen to get some Australian views on smash ultimate, since most the online talk I hear about it comes from forums dominated by Americans!

What do you think of ultimate? What are you happy about? What are you disappointed about? Who were you hoping would get in? Who do you think might be DLC?

Personally, I think the sheer number of characters in the roster is mind-blowing! I'm disappointed I didn't get my main want Banjo & Kazooie, but I can hardly be disappointed with what we have. Bringing back every single character ever was amazing! I'm also very very happy it looks as though we're getting some cut scenes with all the characters. I loved them back in the Brawl does and I'm glad they're making a comeback.

The biggest disappointment for me is no trophies. I always enjoyed doing every mode with every character and trophies were a nice way to mark off that achievement. Plus I just liked being able to collect them. They were always such a nice part of the game for me, but I understand why they went (development time, money etc).

Plus, the spacing of announcements were weird. The final two reveals of Ken and Incineroar really didn't live up to the August direct we got with Simon, Richter, Dark Samus, Chrom and K Rool!

Also Piranah plant??? Who saw that coming!? Can't say I'm excited, or that there weren't others I'd hoped to see more, but it should hopefully be fun! I'm cautiously optimistic about the character!

There's plenty more I could discuss, but won't go into it unless it turns out there is a decent following here :)

    Personally I just really liked the end where Kirby was the only one that got away, GO! Little pink puff ball!!

    Hope the adventure mode is good, looked ok from the trailer, single player content was disappointing in Wii U/3DS.

    No trophies is disappointing.

    Shovel Knight got to be an assist trophy but Shantae only a spirit, should've have been the other way around.

    Also where's Poke Floats?

    DLC
    Nintendo: Badge Bunny, Non-Specific Action Figure, Jim/Alice/Samm
    Other: Rayman, Banjo

      Oh. Rayman would be super sick.

  • Didn’t realize it was out yet.
    No trophies? Do they have something else to collect instead?

  • Looks like there is so much content! Had a blast playing single player with Smash 64 and looks like this game is great with single player content too

  • I wish they would tone down the smoke trails when getting thrown or hit, better if it was more transparent. And the character flashing too.

  • The assorted modes look pretty boring, spirits just looks like equipping items from smash 4, the "character" event things are kind of a joke with nothing actually relating to the characters. Nice that it has online rankings this time.

    Character reveals were pretty disappointing for the final direct and purposefully hiding assist trophies that everyone wanted as playable characters like Skull Kid, Isaac, Shadow was pretty uncool

    The only form of excitement I got was the Piranha Plant announcement. Dedicating an entire section to the Options menu was just embarrassing.

    With no trophies it would have been nice to have descriptions for the spirits instead.

    Hopefully home run contest/smash the targets or similar are added in a free update down the track.

    With Reggie's comments on the DLC characters being completely new to the series I'm kinda now expecting Jibanyan. Still hoping for Banjo and Kazooie/Rayman though.

    Also if you got the physical game don't forget to register the game on My Nintendo for Piranha Plant, digital buyers should get the code emailed in a few days of purchase.
