byleth in only a weeeeek!!!! even tho im not too hype about the character(will probably only lab for an hour and then play some friendlies for another 3 or so) im pretty jazzed for all the new stuff and also the rebalances

does anyone have any characters on a nerf/buff wishlist?

i kinda wanna see sonic get a few buffs to his primary tools and a bit of an overhaul, maybe buff airspeed fix uair not working/make nair a better options. In exchange they could make it so neither spindash goes through shield regardless of charge so hed be less evasive more rushdowny

buffs for isabelle that arent just changes to her fishing rod would be nice also LOL

and maybe a universal change like making swords easier to parry and give more time to punish because swords in general are so strong and safe against shields in this game

Random thought I had earlier today: So we just got done with 5 characters over the course of a year and now we move on to 6 characters over the course of two years. It makes me think that maybe Sakurai will do something just a tiny bit extra to make the wait easier.
Yeah, he's gonna start to go into pre-planning for whatever his post-Ultimate project is.

I hope Joker gets multiple nerfs and just about everyone else get multiple buffs. Specifically - Lucas, Isabelle, Plant, Duck Hunt

Buff Kirby's air speed

and give him new specials that aren't all trash

and make his D-Tilt the slide kick like it always should have been

I hope Joker doesn't get nerfed too much.

Most of the characters I like are mid-tier and that's where I want 'em.

Joker can stay where he is though, because I don't want to risk making him less fun to play, thanks.

Please let Banjo's Utilt hit everyone in front of him. Snake's already better in every way. Just let me hit people please.

In that vein; they should buff Chibi-Robo. Maybe make him more like his SSF2 appearance ;)
They should just add all the SSF2 characters that are missing from Ultimate.

Now that would be a perfect game.

Bandana Dee
Isaac
Chibi-Robo
Tails
Bomberman
Black Mage
Sora
Lloyd
Goku
Luffy
Naruto
Ichigo
Waluigi
Crystal
Rayman
Sandbag

You may not like it, but this is what an ideal fighting game season pass looks like.

If we only get one, who should it be?
Doom Slayer or Master Chief?
Putting my own bias aside (who am i kidding. I'm really bad at this) - absolutely MC. History alone doesn't make the first pick - sonic/snake/cloud/ryu weren't chosen because they had history, they were chosen because they're the absolute icons of the industry. We didn't get DQ/FF first despite them having history on their side, and i don't see why it would be different here. I believe Ryce's VF/tekken (or dota/lol) comparison is more fitting - VF kickstarted the whole thing but tekken is largely seen as the bigger get.

That said there are a lot of factors that go into these kinds of decision making so i understand if something else happens.

Just sub out the worst shounen protagonist for Phoenix and I'm in.

Everyone can now fight over which is the worst.

Just let me bask in the salt of Byleth winning even a single major. That's the dream.

I'm rolling a mental roulette wheel imagining what in the world we're gonna be in for if he isn't locked into an infinite Smash loop, TBH.

Half of it is him bailing and making a crossplatform/competitor exclusive title

Very very very slightly less than half is him making another Nintendo exclusive game again

Teeny tiny sliver I not-so-secretly want it to land on is he changed his mind on both his more straightforward statements and his greater sentiments on sequelization and actually does feel like making another Kid Icarus game again.

Honestly by that point I think people would stop caring about them being in the game. This might be an issue if they're agreed upon to be OP and he immediately wins majors but even Joker was able to win a couple majors before people called foul.

Sakurai has only once worked on a non-Nintendo platform, and it was for an arcade game
True, but most of that time he was either employed by Hal or working on a Smash Bros title.

Personally I'd kinda prefer he stuck to Nintendo platforms just because the first party selections on other platforms aren't really doing it for me right now, but the possibility sticks in my mind that he might wander off.

I don't see a character reveal happening before E3. We're getting six characters within the next two years which means the schedule has slowed down pretty significantly.

The window is "by the end of 2021." They aren't promising anything regarding the pace of releases other than all six characters will be released before the end of next year. They could release the final character months before their advertised deadline.

I mean there were only three character announcements last year and they were clumped into four months. It makes sense for them to be more spread out.

I'd be ever so slightly annoyed if they decided to sell a product with none of its contents known for almost six months. I feel like they have to throw us a bone by April at least, no matter what the release schedule looks like.

Oh, and thanks again MondoMega!

They sell FP2 up to five and a half months ahead of any information being revealed, but I still can't pre-order Animal Crossing on the eShop less than two months before it's released.

People thinking we'll have to wait for E3. Do you think they'll announce two characters there?
