The changes to online SUCK.

Who thought that was a good idea? So now I can't just do 1-v-1 online without items?

I have to pray the game chooses my rules over some troll who sets 4v4 on frantic items?
Like if your concern is 1v1 no item matches then you literally have nothing to worry about. I'd imagine it's the weirder stuff that'll be harder to find but there's no chance 1v1s are hard to find.

Thats not how it works???

You choose what you prefer, it matches you with the same. If it can't (highly unlikely) you'll be matched up with the next best thing it seems. So if you can't find 2 stock 1v1, it finds you a 3 stock 1v1 or something.

After thinking about it a bit, I think it'll work out better than it seems.
I'm gonna be optimistic about it. Once the competitive scene figures out what they're going with, a lot of people are going to use those settings online. So hopefully the matchmaking can recognize that and group everyone together most of the time

Slime, Elma, Bandana Waddle Dee, 8th Gen Pokemon, surprise third party

My guesses for DLC
Would they really do a Gen 8 Pokemon when they have limited characters to work with? I mean I saw that with this avatar but would they even have the foresight to do another Pokemon then? Like what would it say that Sakurai wouldn't implement Xenoblade 2 and ARMS for being too late and implement a game we literally know nothing about by the time the game itself comes out and it's DLC purchased?

With that said your other choices would be alright with me. I'd rather Slime be Sora but whatever I'm preparing for the Square to be a dead end for me.

Yeah this was weird, why try to fix what wasn't broken?
The lack of customization of rules was always a huge issue online, especially with being forced to play on Omega stages. This seems like reasonable matchmaking. They could have just added more modes, but then you'd limit pools even more.

Also, I'm quite surprised that we're not getting a new stage from Alola with Incineroar.

So many amazing possibilities....Alolan Beach, Aether Foundation, one of the Trial sites, etc.

I wonder if the newcomer necessarily has to be tied to the stage for the DLC...

If that press release is true and the Piranha Plant has a stage released along with it, then I'm guessing its the one most likely to have an unrelated stage. If its explicitly Piranha Plant themed, then I'd say its a safe bet that the rest of the DLC characters will follow suit.

Looking around, I feel like I'm the only one who was really happy with the direct. The spirit stuff seems really cool, the single player mode seems like a fun timesink, Petey looks fun, and the idea of 5 more characters as dlc is exciting.
I'm with you don't, don't worry. Few characters I wish made it like Banjo, but overall I'm golden. People just wanted more anime I think.

It matches you with people with the same settings. Chances are a ton of people are going to do 1v1 no items, so I don't think you'll get items very often, if ever.

I pointed this out earlier but no one listened to me, lol. This list of previously unconfirmed new songs is as follows:

Ground Theme (SMB2)
Theme of Solid Snake
Battle! (Gladion)
Kass's Theme
Donkey Kong/DK Jr. Medley
Find Mii/Find Mii 2 Medley
Jump Up, Super Star (whether or not this is the rip or a new arrangement, I don't know)

Revenge of Meta Knight, Magicant, and Corneria (Star Fox) also seem to be getting new remixes. Looking very forward to those, personally.

I assume the new Magicant remix will be based on the Magicant from Earhtbound rather than Mother this time. I never really cared for the original but here's hoping the remix is of the high quality the Mother remixes usually get.

Also that makes 4 Sun & Moon remixes now so probably RIP the chances of a Guzma/Team Skull medley.

A bet is a bet, and I lose the boxtheory bet as a #teammorethan2 beliver. I need to search my new avatar myself or does someone take care of that?


About the Direct, the delivery was poor and some things doesn't interest me at all (the new stickers spirits mechanics), but I'm still hype as with the august direct. I'm happy with the new spirit/challenge battles, the huge cast of characters, stages, items, music and most important, the revamped gameplay. And thanks to give us the option to change the language inside the game! I hate the European Spanish narrator!

I mostly sure that nobody of my wished characters will be between the DLC ones, so my only hopes now are:
1) That the new adventure mode had cinematics or somekind of dialogs between characters (even if it's like in a Visual Novel style like the old GuiltyGear or Blazblue games). I love the crossover interactions.
2) That they give some free-dlc between pay-dlc as new echoes or game modes.

In the full Direct, Sakurai hints that "something you know" inspired this cutscene...so I think he was talking about Infinity War. :-)

The spanish subs, that are usually more literal translations of what sakurai says than the treehouse voice Sakurai gets dubbed, never at any point states that.
Or do you mean Sakurai appears in the treehouse live commenting about it?

Even then, nearly all crossover stories use this type of villain and story set ups. Infinity War didnt invent this type of story. DC uses a similar template in their universe changing events (and marvel in their comics before their movies of course), and even Disneyland's Fantasmic does the kill everyone except the hero to stop the villain and resurrect everyone. Its a very tropey thing, but I do love it.

Since they said the mode is more for fun rather than being focused on story, I doubt it. (Sadly.)
