24 HOUR ALERT! Tomorrow at noon, the character at 5th place in the vote will be locked in. At this moment, that is currently Banjo & Kazooie. The plus side of being the first character locked in is they are the first character of the 5 that will get it's own coverage in the thread. Though of...

HALF WEEK STANDINGS: Piranha Plant 30 Steve 22 Sonic 20 Banjo & Kazooie 16 Captain Falcon 14 Still plenty of time for this to change but these are the current standings of the vote. Whoever is 5th will be locked in on Sunday at Noon. Currently that is Captain Falcon. But is definitely subject...

Every three days after starting voting, I will give a current standings to give a look on the scores of all those voted on so far. So for this period leading up to the November issue. That'll probably be most Wednesdays and Saturdays. This coming Saturday will be a final warning that whoever is...

Just to confirm is this your list then? 1. Piranha Plant 2. Wii Fit Trainer 3. Sonic 4. Mario 5. (No 5th character mentioned)

Vote for who I'll cover in an eventual All-Time Smash Bros. merit ranking! #1 picks will be featured as a guest section on the Shroom! https://www.marioboards.com/threads/44398/

Hello everyone! Smash speculation is over, likely for a long while. But I do still want to carry on some form of celebrating what a momentous roster Ultimate had collected. The future of Smash is very uncertain after this game, there’s no promise we even get half of the current Ultimate roster...

Well, we're finally here with the last fighter. Allow me to give my thoughts on the new Gen 8 poke- ...Wait, what? Hold on... You're shitting me, you're absolutely shitting me! THEY ACTUALLY ENDED SMASH SPECULATION WITH A GODDAMN BANG?! Now... admittedly I haven't played a single second of...

Probably worth getting this thread with some activity now that we have a literal countdown until we reach the final character. 10 Days to go!

I'd say be careful expecting this last reveal to be something all that big. The last Smash reveal tends to not really be that big of a name or a more promotional character whether it's the end of base game or DLC. As much as I would like to be wrong, I think Kazuya was our last 3rd party...

A bit late but Kazuya's been added to the poll ^^

We have our 2nd-to-last character! Though before getting to the character thought I'd mention my expectations going forward. I think the character revealed yesterday was likely our last 3rd party choice. The only exception may be is if the final character is saved for the Game Awards. But if say...

Pyra and Mythra have been added to the poll. Though because this is a Pokemon Trainer sort of situation where if they are your favorite newcomer. You can choose to either go with the interchangeable option to say you change depending on the situation or have no strong preference between either...

Pardon me for being a tad slower on getting to the Merit of our new character. I just thought I'd take my time a bit because I have had other things to do lately, plus much like the first Xenoblade character we got. I wanted to familiarize myself with the character by seeing an all cutscenes...

Sephiroth is now on the poll. He's very fun to use though still a bit unwieldy to me. But he's certainly at least in my Top 5 of newcomers. Still keeping Banjo as my current favorite, but if nothing else. I'm super happy the Advent Children version of One Winged Angel is now in the game thanks...

So... what a surprise we had last night huh? Our next character is from an already represented franchise, and a 3rd party one at that. But is nonetheless certainly one of the most iconic figures in gaming period. Famous for the traumatizing of a generation during a famous scene that may as well...

Georgia will have 2 runoffs to decide the fate of the senate. Dems win both, Kamala breaks any ties if both parties vote on party lines. If only one of them win or both lose, yeah it might be much harder though perhaps there will be a hope that Biden will be able to do what he said in being able...

Trump lost, Biden will be President 🇺🇲

It's been a terrible year still, but I'm happy we can finally have at least one day of jubilation. Trump has lost, and we'll have a real President next year.

As is customary, it's been a week since the new character has been added. So Steve is now added to the poll.

13 Years ago today...

Yeah I'll agree that Minecraft probably at least helps Fortnite in the future. I don't think Fortnite will be in Ultimate (or at least, not a playable character. Spirit event or even a surpise Mii costume possibly just for funsies) but certainly a possibility for the next Smash game lol

I suppose in a technical sense since Angry Birds did get games for Wii U and 3DS. However, I think overall Minecraft is larger scale as Angry Birds is only one of the many mobile games that hit it big. And there's certainly alot more 3rd party choices out there. Pretending Minecraft is some...

For a little bonus, I thought I'd share the audio for my reaction to the reveal From the moment I see it's Steve (Skip to 4:00 for that) I pretty much laugh for a minute straight. And periodically laugh throughout the rest of the way. I have been doing audio reactions for everything ever since...

I do try to be objective with my choices though. Sonic is my #1 dream character that made it as far back as Brawl. But let's say hypothetically he never made it in Smash beforehand but ended up being the fighter revealed today. Despite how much I'd be jumping for joy. I couldn't put him higher...

STEVE Just thought that first I'll quote my thoughts when I was asked to judge today's character's possible merits during a speculation period. Certainly some of what I said didn't age well, as we ended up actually getting Banjo before Steve. But much of what I said remains true is that...

As someone who's most wanted is Tails I suppose I'm one of those who could give an answer. However, I am very aware the reality of the situation that Tails isn't going to be made playable in Ultimate. If it ever happens it will be the next game where the roster is probably shrunken compared to...

Min Min's been added to the poll now that she's been out for a week. Min Min's certainly a fun and interesting character though Banjo and Inklings are still currently my favorites.

Congratulations to our newest fighter from ARMS: Min Min! This is what most people were hoping to be the fighter from Arms it seemed like, should be nice to have a more relatively peaceful new character reaction compared to how divisive Byleth was last time. Though I should probably a say a bit...

There's really only two non-Nintendo characters at this point that I'd so, so, so love to have. One's kind of out of the running already since they got their Mii Costume and was a Spirit (That's Tails from Sonic by the way) but I guess there's still Crash Bandicoot to hope for. That said...

Alright, things have settled down a bit when I've been Animal Cross-ing and there's been time to think over the mini direct at the end of last month. So I'll get the one request for merit/chance rating and then go cover something about what we got (Even if we didn't get a specific character for...

Now that we’re moving on to another pass. I thought I’d give an update on the prospects of characters I’ve covered in the past. I’m not going to cover every name I’ve done in the past. Just ones that have some sort of update after we have some data after having seen the end of the first past...

As always, with a week after a new character release. Byleth has been added to the poll!

Both costumes were popular indie games getting a fun kind of representation. That's not indicative of the opinions on Miis. That's people thinking is so cool that while they'd never actually get playable as themselves. It's the closest thing to it they can possibly do (Plus it also helps that...

Pardon if it's been a while since I last posted here. Just when Terry was revealed I decided to maybe just wait a little while longer until the Fighter's Pass was finished before I updated this thread. Because I gotta be honest in I just don't have much to say about Terry having little-to-no...

I've always wanted Tails so of course I do. Just it looks like it's unlikely to go beyond echoes for Ultimate and hell the most obvious choice for a Sonic series echo (Shadow) didn't even make the cut. And it's probably more fair to make the DLC as diverse as possible, cause say that somehow...

Terry has been added to the poll. ^^ Banjo's still my favorite newcomer for now though.

Banjo has been added to the poll! And with that, I also think Banjo has become my new favorite newcomer of this game. I've never been a longtime fan of the Banjo games, but this inclusion just feels right after so many years and the seeming impossibility of it because of Microsoft's grasps on...

Honestly the Mii costume is awesome. I was laughing out loud (And this time a laugh that isn't hiding internal screaming from the Smash speculator in me like it was for Piranha Plant heh, hell even if it was the ACTUAL Sans I would still be happier overall with it then I am currently with...

Tails isn't getting playable using the mech. It was one game and it's probably fit better for Eggman if he got playable. Just plain and simple, Mallow isn't getting in before Geno. Despite Mallow having a bigger part of the story, it's Geno who the fanbase has rallied around. Bandana Waddle...

I nominate Tails

It's been more then a week since the release of Hero! Has he impressed to become your new favorite? I'm still on Inkling right now, but I think Banjo might be an actual challenge when he releases. (Banjo won't be up on the poll until a week after he releases. Though feel free to tentatively say...

That's actually wrong. The Tails and Knuckles costumes from Smash 4 returned with Joker. It is strange how one of the last Mii costumes added to Smash 4 become like the only returning 3rd party Mii costumes in Ultimate. As we still have yet to see stuff like the Megaman or Namco mii costumes as...

So... after that Hero presentation. I think it's time to give a bit of an update on a certain character who we all thought was going to get his final nail in the coffin but may have surprisingly didn't. That of course being Geno. I even said in the last post pre-emptively putting him in the Mii...
