#SmashBrosUltimate - Smash Bros for Switch.

Thank goodness for modding. We can get Waluigi if we so choose.

So um, Piranha Plant's Guidance session talks about all the different types it has. Including Megasimliax. The boss that's only appeared in Super Mario RPG...
Geno is looking more and more likley by the second!

[Kriven]

Piranha Plant makes a number of references to the Super Mario RPG games. He moves around like an enemy from Partners in Time (complete with the green nubblies coming out an open-bottomed pot), he takes on the coloration of the Putrid Piranha from Paper Mario for certain attacks... It doesn't surprise me one bit that there's mention of some SMRPG references in there somewhere. I don't think it's indicative of the likelihood of any other character, only that Sakurai really wanted to let people know that there's a whole lot of stuff which the Piranha Plants have done in these games, for all of those people who've only played SMB and insist that PP is just "an obstacle with teeth."

[DioShiba]

That gives me more hope for Geno's inclusion in the fighter's pass to be totally honest. It seems like Sakurai has been vouching for the RPG mario games as a whole and not just Geno as a character.

[NICKtendo DS]

There's already a Geno and Mallow Spirit in Ultimate, so another Super Mario RPG reference doesn't change anything as far as I'm concerned.

I have no doubt we'll see the Geno Mii costume back, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for a playable Geno. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow ends up in the Pass anyway though, as his demand has been on the level of Ridley and K. Rool.

Speaking of Geno, because I've wanted a proper Bowser's Castle stage since Melee, and the Paper Mario stage doesn't count (should've been the one from PM64), if Geno's part of the Fighters Pass, I want his stage to be Bowser's Castle with Exor sticking out from the top serving as an obstacle/platform. It'd be even better if Exor summons Smithy's Weapons (Mack, Yaridovich, Bowyer, Axem Rangers) onto the stage, either as hazards or as background characters.

I know most think of the Forest Maze as a stage for Geno, but I can't imagine it being iconic other than being that one place where you find Geno and fight Bowyer. I think Bowser's Castle with Exor best represents Super Mario RPG as it serves as the beginning and entry to the finale of the game, along with being ever present on the map. It's also shown on the titlescreen. Of course Beware the Forest Mushrooms should be part of the songlist. I would also love for Bowser's Castle from Paper Mario 64 and Boss Battle from Final Fantasy 4 to be part of the song list (the latter should be added to Midgar too).

[Retro64]

Cuphead was just recently announced for the Switch.
This means the whole XBOX support for switch rumor is most likely true.
I wonder what this means for Banjo and the rest of the requested XBOX ips. Could Cuphead even make a cameo as like a spirit or something?

[DioShiba]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if more spirits came along with each fighter that's released. I wouldn't be surprised if Cuphead at least made a cameo of sorts through Spirits.

[EternalFirebird]

Wouldn't be surprised if Cuphead is a potential DLC character with Mugman as a alternative color (cause we already have enough Echo Fighters).

[Retro64]

So Nintendo out of all people just leaked

Spoiler

stage builder

in a commercial

It's literally the first thing you see! How did they miss that!
Anyway hope it gets more features than it had in Smash 4.

[DioShiba]

Well it's not really a surprise at this point.

I just hope its more like Brawl's stage builder with some features from smash 4, I honestly hated how limited smash 4's stage builder was. That and personally I can't wait to build a penis stage in lieu of the tradition I have with a few friends from college starting since Brawl, but that's another story.

[NICKtendo DS]

I'm starting to believe the "leak" is intentional.
I think the 3.0.0 update comes this friday (or maybe even thursday) because of Easter that following sunday. The 3.0.0 teaser from the latest Nintendo Direct hinted at that with the characters wearing Bunny Hoods, standing around a giant purple Yoshi egg. Because of the connection with Easter, I think that leak is meant to be an easteregg. A way to drop info, seeing as I highly doubt a dedicated update presentation is coming so short before the release.
I don't believe info or the update itself is going to coincide with the reveal of Persona 5S, not that late into April. Persona 5R is already revealed anyway. I find it weird that when discussing when the contect of 3.0.0 will be revealed, let alone released, the focus is on Persona 5S most of the time, because that happens to have a reveal planned in the same month, but I barely see any mention of easter, if at all.

For Stage Builder, I want ladders, because I already have a couple of stages planned.
I need ladders for Burger Time. It's a medium-to-large sized stage. There's a wide chunk of flat terrain with edges on either side, two equally wide semi-solid platforms about 1.5-2 characters apart from eachother vertically and a semi-solid platform 1/3 the size the same height above that in the middle. There's a big burger blocking the middle on the bottom tier and two top buns resting on top of the second highest tier on either side acting as solid platforms. There are four ladders. Two on the edges of the stage go from the bottom all the way up to the second-highest tier (the highest wide one) and two near the center burger go from the bottom all the way up to the top tier.

I also want to recreate the Space Invader stage I made in Smash 4, but I want to use the Galaga remix this time.

[Kriven]

I need ladders for Burger Time.

Somehow I knew you were talking about Burger Time at the first mention of ladders xD

[NICKtendo DS]

Oh my God, update 3.0.0 video is out!
Ladders! Layers! Color and movement options for terrain!

I know what'll keep me busy the coming century.

Persona content is cool too, I guess. (As someone who isn't familiar with the series, I love how the Persona stuff looks.)

[Kriven]

This might be a little unpopular, but I think I would almost rather have had a new character announced today and have all of the DLC characters actually released at the same time... A kind of biggish amount of new content to bite into all at once instead of trickling out what are ultimately going to be Classic Mode campaigns for most people over an entire year.

Eh, maybe I'm just a growing impatient with the mystery.

Stage ID time:
SPACE INVADER:
G5JV7MMM
A simple, 4 platform stage decorated with the iconic alien moving left and right in the background and a spaceship and two asteroids from Asteroids. I love the look of this and it shows why layers are amazing.

GIANT EGG:
5JB2VN37
I had to include falling platforms at the start so the game wouldn't moan about the lack of space for fighters to spawn on. The only platform is a big, rolling egg! With such little space to fight on that's constantly moving, it can get quite hectic. Beware when you spawn on the far left side of the egg, you might roll off right away. Billy Hatcher is in the background, rolling the egg!

I've attempted Miracle World (Alex Kidd, level 1), Bowser's Castle and Burgertime, but they weren't up to standard.
I will attempt Burgertime again, for sure.

Edit:
BURGER TIME is done:
