it's unconfirmed if Ultimate will have one, but it'd be a shame if it didn't

Well i won’t be buying it if there isn’t one

what about HD sexy Snake and beautiful bayonetta?

So they really went ahead and announced 5 characters in half an hour huh?

Spoiler:

King K Rool
Simon Belmont
Richter Belmont ('Echo' Fighter of Simon Belmont)
Chrom (Echo Fighter of Roy. Although his recovery is an Aether just like Ike)
Dark Samus (Echo Fighter of Samus)

All that plus more. We have 103 stages (I don't know if that's the grand total and there are also Final Destination and Battlefield versions for all 103 stages)

There's 28 hours worth of Soundtrack (yes, really!)

'Squad mode'. Basically two players are pitted against each other in a 3 v 3 or 5 v 5 stock match but each stock is a different fighter. Sorta like in Smash Tour (-gags-)

Tourney mode announced (much to Luke's happiness )

Cool option where you can select 2 stages and they'll move onto each other in matches. Sorta like Castle Siege from Fire Emblem, except you choose the stages which morph

Smash meter feature announced

A few more details I can't remember

Also a hidden section on the menu. When people have tried to unblur it, it supposedly reads 'Spirits'. I just hope that's a fancy way of saying 'Story Mode'

people are so desperate they interpreting Sakurai having a yellow and purple chair next to each other in the most recent Direct meaning "Waluigi is Confirmed"

[LukeB]

I love it already feels weird only starting off with 8 or so characters though

Oh the guy from persona 5 has just been confirmed as the first DLC

What modes are they?

There's an Adventure mode, dubbed World of Light
There's a heavy emphasis on 'Spirits' - they're optional 'add-ons' to characters, if you like. These are the spirits of gaming characters, such as Dixie Kong. A spirit can improve the power/speed/defence or have a bonus effect (for example, makes the player metal) and these spirits can be levelled up and you can attach them to the playable characters so they get that benefit. It's hard to explain

There's classic mode, which is great this time around because each character has a unique theme to them. Also boss battles!

Welcomeee. There's no doubt some modes I missed, but this game definitely has the best single player experience out of all the Smash Bros games

Want but is switch online multiplayer even a thing yet?

It always has been since day 1, but they only launched a proper paid subscription in September. Basically, you could play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, and other online multiplayer games for free until late September. Then Nintendo started the ever so controversial Nintendo online service. So yeah, you gotta pay Ł20 ayear to play online

Unlocking the characters is rapidly losing it's charm for me, I just want to play at Bayonetta and Richter at this point and they are nowhere to be seen yet. Thank god I've already unlocked Zelda and Pit otherwise I'd have no favourites to play.

[Ant.]

I'm unironically maining Pichu and I can't wait to play as Isabelle. I'm gonna try and get into Lucas since Mother 3 is my favourite game and even though I liked him in Brawl, I couldn't get into him in 4.
I'm really hoping Bayo is nerved because I would LOVE to play her without the guilt
I'm probably gonna carry over my mains Mewtwo and Mario (although I want to get out of the habit of picking Mario bc there's so many good characters). I'm also gonna try and pick up Daisy, despite never playing Peach in my life
I'll give all the newcomers a go but sadly none of them really interest me </3 I like playing as my favourite characters, which means I don't wanna play as characters from games I've never played. Splatoon may be an exception though and I'll probably try Inkling out

[LukeB]

I finally unlocked all characters

And just got my code for piranha plant.

Did we really need dark samus though?

Aww. I was hoping for her own moves but I guess I can do without.
