#elmaforsmash

[@IronBlaze77]

Tactician Magician I personally want Bandana Dee, Geno, Skull Kid, or Shadow for Ultimate.

[@tacticianmagician4716]

@@IronBlaze77 ooo I want shadow too
Geno has a very good chance too

[@IronBlaze77]

Tactician Magician Thanks! I really want Shadow to be playable. I’ve thoroughly thought of his move set and he could have some serious potential in the competitive scene. Even if he’s an Echo I’ll be happy. Too bad Zero couldn’t be one...

[@ewnetwork5370]

Admit it you just skipped to smash

[@thevisionary5977]

EWNetwork yep

[@un-inkpressivevideos9541]

Of course I did. No other game really matters in this.

[@royal_crown99]

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT CHROM WAS APART OF ROBIN'S FINAL SMASH

[@EikeKusch776]

I cringed at that bit..

[@shadow10r43]

Will, is not really their job to know every single thing that's in their own games.

[@cripplepickle87]

LOL i thought that was hilarious considering one of them is part of nintendo treehouse

[@tristenj1992]

I died a little inside

[@MitendoTalks]

Such a soothing podcast. Always cool to see JC. Keep it up guys.

[@daniely2125]

Comment section in a nutshell:
100% - “Idk why I clicked but I saw Smash in the title lmao”

[@mattespos2663]

I see smash, I click

[@SteveNathn]

Just curious, if Nintendo made the Nintendo Power magazine again, who would subscribe to it? I certainly would.

[@jivjov]

Might I suggest checking out NintendoForce Magazine? Its a spiritual successor to Nintendo Power, and its great!

[@MarioCreeper22]

Dammit Nintendo you can't bait me with Smash Ultimate!

[@azophi]

when they just did tho

[@PeopleWithPlushies]

I’m the only one that’s actually watching the podcast and not skipping to smash lel

[@hanzohattori9576]

Everyone is like "I saw smash bros so i clicked".
I saw Nintendo Power so i clicked.

[@123omegamike]

I listened to the podcast hoping to get some new info but stayed captivated throughout it all because of the topics. I really liked the quiz! This definitely got me to listen to more of these podcasts in the future!

[@thegoodmudkip3652]

Well, that's one way to revive Nintendo Power

[@Simte]

Yeeeeeesss, I've follow this podcast eagerly, what a nice surprise. Probably the biggest game to be released on the system.

[@pulseweld]

Plot twist these guys were all born after Nintendo Power stopped publication

[@RayalWorldConz]

I wavedashed from melee to here. ULTIMATE HYPE

[@SonicX15]

They should give us the wolf of Legend (Okami Amaterasu) as a playable character in Smash, because it would just be so awesome!!!

[@vezerlo6961]

it's really neat that they at least brought back Nintendo Power in some way.

[@dolphin0856]

Just saw myself playing for fun in the replay channel.
Best day ever.

[@jcalt8991]

So inspiring for my channel, thanks for the great podcast!

[@hypersilshadic]

Awesome podcast! I really liked these guests.

[@maddestmike5791]

TH-cam why must you lie to me

[@silverspoon8238]

K

[@silverrain530]

No lie, people wanna see Smash Ultimate!

[@isaiah_w]

I swear I thought that said "Fighting game ballot"

[@abrealgaming5649]

"He will never take in a character just for the sake of taking in a character."
"Show your moves" echoes in the distance.

[@memoryman3586]

AbRealGaming Daisy?

[@geckyoskitz]

Boy do I love people talking with the same image for an hour!

[@danielrivera510]

I am so hyped for this

[@keppy1618]

im a simple man. i see ssbu, i click

[@cable_yours_truly]

Otaku Potato 2 I’m a simple a man. I see this unoriginal comment everywhere, I dislike

[@jaydenkamp7986]

I scroll down to the comments and it’s literally all “did anyone else click just for smash?”
This is good

[@Bonesince1997]

So glad Nintendo Power lives on, if even in just podcast form. It's even special to know that Chris Slate has hung on, too. Maybe some video in addition to audio would be of value.

[@slipperyphish]

Whoa, Chris Slate!! Big fan of yours going wayyyyy back!!

[@Andrew-px5ft]

I am a simply man,
I see smash ultimate, I click

[@TheKeitaNobodyAskedFor]

i'm a simple man
i see Smash Ultimate,i click it

[@joyconbulb3743]

There is literally a comment the exact same as urs above you lol

[@dead-yv2ws]

*BANJO AND KAZOOIE PLEASE*

[@farter_snail]

who 'ya talkin' to?

[@KaleFrog]

The hype is real

[@christianguest63]

44:10 "He will never put in the character just to put in a character" do you all remember Melee Gannon and Roy?

[@JosephJohns-xi1qb]

So, why does Lucina not have her signature idle pose despite new echoes getting unique idle stances?

[@LBozo64]

I am excited for waluigi in smash...if it happens...

[@michaelhalchuck8587]

I’m a simple man
I see Smash Ultimate
I click faster than the speed of sound

[@Rosie_Cozy]

I like how they talked about ally and now that he’s in trouble it’s funny they said that

[@Swordslash]

They really need to mark this with NPP in the title...

[@LilyBlue53]

Swordslash it is tho

[@TheCloakedKnight]

I remember Chris Slate when he was with psm.

[@codystork3008]

"There are probably combos that you have not thought of yet."
I picture the King K Rool forward air into the blunderbuss ball yeah you are probably right.

[@gabrielayzaguirre3854]

I cant wait for tomorrow was Friday!

[@jepicondyle]

This episode was brought to you by the word “like”

[@Fizzy4k]

I CAME HERE AS SOON AS I CAN WHEN I SAW SMASH

[@tacticianmagician4716]

Same hereeee
#elmaforsmash

[@Fizzy4k]

#KingBooForSmash

[@SH-rs3zw]

I thought there'd be gameplay footage but was slightly disappointed
Guess I set myself up for that one

[@kryzethx]

46:13 RIP not remembering Chrom is part of Robin's final smash. Also (hilariously) featured in the Palutena's Guidance conversation for Robin

[@xtato01]

no new characters, but it’s fun listening to them talk

[@mariagerardi3290]

Everyone is here for smash

[@Benjamin9]

smash ultimate so I came and am listening it is cool

[@bizzledrizzle_]

your profile pic is who im hoping for to be in ssbu

[@anthonycarter1528]

General comment question since it won't get on the show. how do you counter the Dreaded Rob Robot pick who super armors through everything and spams projectiles all the time?

[@iconicwolf933]

I just came here for Smash Bros!

[@lyconxero457]

I REALLY want to see Squad Strike as a main event in tournaments. I think it'll bring a great new energy to the scene and get more characters shine in a meta game that can be quite narrow.

[@embersilver3448]

Hi nintendo! Can't wait for the awesome games!

[@GreedyfaceGreedyface]

awesome games =SSBU

[@embersilver3448]

Greedy face 354 Greedy face 3542 you got that right

[@slickryder]

*Game

[@urge2game]

I'm a simple man. I see Smash Bros Ultimate, I click.

[@LilyBlue53]

38:05 low key confirmed that Guile's theme is in ultimate

[@nintendobros.podcast855]

Can it be confirmed, if I am playing Squad Strike with a friend....if I lose my first fighter, will the damage/lost stock I've done still be there? Or will my opponent reset to full again upon the next fight?
Me and my brother have been debating this since the last direct.

[@thatkingk.roolmain842]

I just came here for smash ultimate

[@panthefox]

Super smash bros ultimate hype

[@mrgwei]

[@King_Rowlet]

[@andynelson9060]

When you’re the only one who watched through the whole thing because you actually like the podcasts

[@javierflores3144]

"Smash ultimate"

[@squidward2976]

Mysterious Man who says smash brothers?

[@sogekithesniper]

I'm a simple man. I see smash, I click.

[@ccutter2]

Chris Slate? Haven't seen that guy in years. It's good that he's doing well.

[@FTWItachiPlays]

Almost 2k+ subs, very close to our next giveaway!

[@Pickle_Pee]

Nothing beats gangplank galleon. That song is god tier.

[@MarioTetris998]

So are u guys going to make more magazines like the 1980s and 90s ?

[@itsnotgood_]

Playing fortnite: super chill
Playing Splatoon: super irritable

[@xNightHawk32]

I skipped straight to the Smash Brothers section to listen to you guys talk about the new fighters, like Simon Belmont. 😓 But you didn’t talk about Simon at all. Excited to play as Simon Belmont!! 😊😆

[@shafireman700]

Smash bros captured my eye..

[@mrgrimrjs]

32:21 JC talks knock back and combos in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

[@nythepremier]

Guile's theme (38:10) from Street Fighter? I think he just inadvertently confirmed the track for Ultimate. Let us rejoice...hopefully Yoko Shimomura did the remix as well!

[@gorilli09]

42:29 is what you’ve came here for

[@morningbowl3156]

Luigi is okay right?

[@viperstrixes24]

ITS TIME

[@KingChilled]

I arrived when I saw Smash Bros

[@ryanforce_]

Yes

[@gabrielcardoso8512]

Awesome

[@LutherDePapier]

It wasn't as an Assist Trophy, Chrom is in Smash 4 as Robin's Final Smash.

[@GUMMY_MKII]

Table of contents I love you Nintendo

[@josiahferrell5022]

There is next to 0% chance that Falco would've ever been what we now call an echo fighter. He was quite different even in Melee.
