Pretty sure this has been discussed already, and it's ultimately a minor thing, but it seriously bugs me a lot that they took out Mario's iconic red+white fire flower alt. I love the new Mario Maker and Odyssey alts, and I even kinda like limiting every character to 8 (so I'm not opposed to cuts in general), but like seriously....of the 7 established Mario alts, that is EASILY the last one you should ever ever cut. Like why on Earth does Mario need a Waluigi alt? Luigi has one too and it makes more sense for Luigi to have it.

I hardly even play Mario lol, but it just bugs. In a game with millions of little details and almost every one of them is perfectly right, this just stands out as baffling to me.

I'm sitting here thinking "why couldn't they just add alts instead of replacing old ones?". A really baffling decision indeed

Plzz does anyone have any clue about amiibo vs none amiibo character ?

Why amiibo characters can level up while none amiibo stays the same?

The sad part was that Black Yoshi was kind of a highly sought after color, and I remember people being very happy to see it in Sm4sh. It was probably the most commonly used, too. And, Sak just goes and cuts it for Arts & Crafts...

They really should have given everyone 16 alts this time.

Assuming they aren't already planning on giving us more alts (for a price or for free), I hope the lack of fire Mario boosts the demand and complaints about it so that they consider it. There's also the characters that have a split, and now Ike is one of them.

16 alts for 70+ characters might have run into space issues - they probably just wanted to make it uniform this time, and there aren't that many characters who'd really benefit from another 8.

Is there a chance the Smash pro controller has a further 'fixed' d-pad? Do we think Nintendo even knows/cares about it?
There's a chance and they're almost certainly aware that people were complaining about it.

Care though, that's a different matter and I doubt anyone can say for sure. If it was a manufacturing defect they'll likely have it fixed in new revisions, if it's just that way because that's how they made it, doubtful.

That's honestly how I feel the situation is, supposedly the Xenoblade one was improved (not fixed) though so I suppose that is 'proof' they are willing to look at it at least. I already have 2 (launch and Xenoblade one) but if they did fix it for the Smash one I'd def buy a 3rd and then sell the launch one.

Such a wonderful controller, just that one damn problem. :(

How much info do we have on the music in the game, now that the game is out in the wild? Has anyone out there made a list or something of which songs we know to be in as of now?

The Daily Steals Facebook page has preorders for $30. Got my order in, quite a deal since it may not be that low for several years.

Nostalgia Countdown! Who still remember E3 Brawl announcement like it was yesterday? It was bizarre how they announced Brawl at E3 after their usual E3 conference so it was pretty crazy to see some news on the site and seeing Snake there. #SmashBrosUltimate #SmashBros

Was it fixed on the XC2 and Splatoon 2 controllers?

It's weird that after sitting on the roster as it stands for awhile, the only thing even slightly bugging me is the SF representation, which is so strange because I'm not even much of a fan of SF. They put a lot of effort into making Ken distinct from Ryu, so I wish they'd just gone that little bit further and put Akuma in instead. I know Ken has the whole "original echo fighter" thing going for him, but he's much less interesting an addition than Akuma would have been. Also, Guile in as an AT instead of Chun-Li is a crime.

They didn't add Akuma because Akuma will be a boss.

All I can find are mixed reports of some people saying its better, and others saying it's still awful.

For me it's never personally been a huge issue, but I have triggered an input I wasn't trying to more than a few times. I've only used one released around launch day though.

Worth gettin a switch for this game? Mainly interested in online play. I doubt theres ranked or anything but does your profile keep track of online stats at least?

I still can't decide if I'm gonna be using the gamecube or pro contoller. I theoretically have lots of muscle memory playing smash on the gc controller but I am just no longer used to those triggers these days, dunno what happened

I like Ken more than Akuma
he's fun and that contrasts with Ryu being so dour all the time! Akuma is basically Evil Ryu except Evil Ryu is a thing that exists.
he literally throws hands, that's great
