[@choosbehguy]

Did just want to point out a few things with the character selection that I personally feel. Rex would be kinda weird given Pyra and Mythra are already in there, and they’d probably pick someone from Xenoblade 3, but idk who since I’ve never played it. Also Shadow for an echo fighter, a lot of people were upset, including myself, when he was announced as an assist trophy in the final direct, despite being one in previous games, and makes too much sense not to include, especially the second time around. And lastly I feel that Meowscarada is a bit more likely as a Pokemon rep, as we don’t have a fully evolved Grass starter yet

[@FireFury190]

Noah from Xenoblade 3 is the main protagonist. He'd likely work similarly to Byleth by using the weapons of his fellow party members. Since you can do that in XC3. I think Meowscarada also makes more sense since bipedal characters are much easier to work with. Plus you can do some creative things with the trickster magician motif. Shadow as an echo I'm surprised he didn't mention because that's one of the easiest ones fans have wanted.

[@Zoroark_Master]

Also bandy mentioned his reasons to think Rex should be in the port was because sakurai wanted Rex in but couldn’t. But the thing is that version of Rex sakurai wanted was one where Rex was accompanied by Pyra&mythra kinda like ice climbers, and that Rex without Pyra&mythra felt kinda lame to sakurai.

[@domotron3598]

Personally I'd go with Mio for an XC3 rep since Noah would feel a little too similar to Shulk to me. In my mind, Noah would basically be Shulk but a fair bit faster. The only real change would be the neutral B and the down B since Noah doesn't have Monado Arts (at least not the way Shulk does) or visions. Maybe he could switch weapons via Down B like Min Min instead of using them for different attacks like Byleth? For neutral B I'd think the safest choice would be a chargeable attack using Lucky Seven like Roy/Chrom/Ike, but what I'd rather see is a move like Sephiroth's uncharged up B, being a quick dash in a chosen direction. Now that all sounds well and good, but overall, if those are the only big changes, he's still too similar to Shulk to me. Mio's weapon of choice seems a lot more unique and I think there's just a lot more that the team could do with it to make it stand out. Just the fact that the rings can be thrown already makes them more interesting than another sword, but having moves that represent her defensive capabilities in xc3 opens even more doors. Other thing worth mentioning is the potential for different costumes. For Noah they could definitely do ones for the different party members like Shulk + a certain letter of the alphabet with an awesome gold color that id love to see, but Mio has the (very minor spoiler) change in hair length which just gives a little more variety. Overall I think Noah would by all means be fine, (as long as they do it right and don't just entirely copy Shulk) but there's fewer characters in Smash like Mio than there are like Noah, so having her would be a bit more interesting.

[@Zoroark_Master]

On the topic of Mii fighters, it would be great if they included a customizer similar to that of Miitopia, which could be used to make the insanely realistic miis that were in that game to be more creative. Even better, we could even be able to port our Miitopia miis into Smash as Mii fighters.

Ultimate, a new mechanic is introduced: in the event of simultaneous grabs, both characters take minimal damage and act as if a rebound occurs.

1:50 despite how much I would want Rex in the game, I feel like it’s more fitting to have Noah be in the game instead, considering that we already have a Xeno 2 rep, and it would be nice to Noah be in the game so we can have representation for the whole xenoblade trilogy, and besides if we do get another full on smash game it’s likely we’ll get to see Noah as a character

[@jazyzamp3056]

It would be cool if the other party members would be Noah's alts kind of like bowser jr and the koopalings. I think this could work since any of the 6 main party members could use any weapon class in XC3, so there's canonically no issue with eunie using Noah's moveset for example

[@jakemoralez5667]

The break the target in stage builder ideas s genius, and would make so many people happy without the trouble on nintendo's part to make 90 unique stages. Another thing is definitely adding a "favorites" tab for the stage select screen. It'd be extremely helpful for competitive players to easily get to the stage they pick, and you don't have to worry about scrolling through different tabs or struggling to even find the stage on the "All" tab. Incredible video!

[@mepzerok]

For all the stages that haven't comeback and are too similar in design to stages already in Ultimate, I think I have possibly the best way to incorporate them. Steve's stage will cycle through the different biomes every time you load the stage. You could get a grass biome back to back, or you could get a grass biome and then a stone biome. And you can get night and day versions of each stage. Make the similar stages a cyclable part of the existing stages. One round you could get cornera and the next round could have cornera sector z. Just add an option to turn off cyclable stages and choose which version of the stage you want to play on. Also, this would be more of a Smash 5DX rather than a Smash 6. Unless the updates get so big it becomes another TotK situation where it might as well be a new game

[@Sean_Bird]

A Smash Ultimate port/Deluxe version is certainly a possibility, and if it is the road they take, then there are many additions and fixes I could see happening. I don’t see us getting a second massive story mode, unless they focus it only the previous Ultimate DLC and the newcomers of the port. Good video Bandy, but I have to say, you did have a few… questionable ideas. (Zero does not work as an Echo of Megaman, at all.)

[@bigbrainedSteve]

X would be better as an echo fighter, though he’d still be very different

[@raphaelelias2833]

[@Jakewebmaster8]

How about this: We add custom moves from Smash 4 back. I had a blast trying them out on each character with each move so adding them back to Ultimate would actually make characters more customizable and more interesting. It's strange how it only exists for the Mii fighters in Ultimate, so add custom moves in for every character.

I guess the voice actors for Pit, Viridi and Palutena could not be bothered to come back for every DLC coming in the game. And apparently, Snake's codec's couldn't even be updated for Ultimate because the voice actor for the colonel died. Smash recasts voice actors, right? They could bring in a new voice for the Colonel. Or if they really wanted to respect the Japanese voice actor of the Colonel, then they could just have Snake calling Otacon and Mei Ling for the new characters.

[@pokeminion64]

Honestly I could definitely see this. For a new smash game though, I’d say shorten the roster by a bunch. Only have the essentials, fan favorites, and some others. Reason why this is important is because each character gets a new move set, with the option of switching to the ultimate moves. As for new characters, well that’s up to interpretation

[@axolotlstudios7918]

My first choice for a new character is undoubtedly Ninten. People don't seem to realize his potential and how distinct he is from Ness.

[@raphaelelias2833]

Yes and no, Nintem would be a great option it could even bring some focus back to the series and who knows they might even release a remake but at the same time I would be kind of worried because Lucas didn't need to be a clone of Ness and they still did that

[@roccocarrozza9133]

You made a solid video on this. You got some great ideas and you made some good points. 💯

[@TheKingSothis]

I genuinely would be disappointed if Fuecoco is the Pokémon choice. The fire starter is constantly the one that gets attention in Smash. Charizard was the Pokémon who got to stay when they removed the trainer in Smash 4 and Incineroar was out Ultimate Pokémon rep. The concept is cute, but let it be Sprigatito’s line so we can round out the starter final evolutions in each type. Or go with Miraidon and Koraidon, I think they’re the closest we can get to seeing another legendary mon be playable. We haven’t gotten a non starter mon since Brawl with Lucario.

[@XanderW7381]

I feel like ultimate is in a similar position to Mario kart 8 deluxe. If they made a new game from scratch it would be much worse especially with Sakurai retired. I think a new team/director could easily handle a deluxe version with balance updates, new fighters (maybe 2 more passes) and maybe even a new mode or two. While smash’s roster is already absurdly big there are always going to be more wanted characters so there isn’t a reason to stop but also no need to start again from scratch (wrote this before the intro said pretty much the same thing lol)

[@SFjacketguy]

I think what they next smash game could do is completely reboot the franchise, bring back a handful of characters, most with revamped movesets, and then focus on new things, while it would take longer to develop, I feel it would be an appropriate step after bringing back literally everything, I absolutely wouldn't mind an ultimate deluxe though!

Messed up my comment with Master Chief part there since he came out in 2001.

[@rafaelblackman9879]

In my opinion, Smash Ultimate has a quantity vs quality issue. Yes, it has a lot of stuff but that doesn’t mean that adding more stuff on top would make it better. Plus we’ve been down this road before. When Ultimate got teased, we thought it was gonna be a port of Smash 4. There are better ways to improve Smash than just making Ultimate bigger. Shrinking the character roster would allow for better additions than the clones and would mean better balance. It would also mean better movesets for existing characters. Shrinking the stage list would mean better, more creative stages could be made. Last but not least, Smash could be improved mechanically. The buffer system, multi hit moves, basic and advanced movement, ledge mechanics, recovery, etc could all be tweaked or improved for the better. Smash doesn’t need to be as slow as it has been since Brawl. There’s a reason why most other platform fighters play closer to Melee than modern Smash and I think the series should move in that direction.

Hey Nathaniel , I love your vids and despite this having no relation to this video I have a challenge idea , I think you should try beating the final level in 3D land , champions road and darker side all back to back in any order without dying a single time

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

it will be ported for sure

[@fireembliam9090]

2:12 I want to see Mascorada.

[@johnnyhickman3083]

14:34 That was the perfect opportunity to say “it’s later” AND YOU MISSED IT Cool concept though, lots of cool ideas!

[@sonoflaw]

Only thing I think you missed is adding an “arcade mode”, aka having a mode more like the older classic modes as I think they are something we should have as it’s an easy way to just play a few matches if your bored and don’t wanna think about going online or creating a whole match.

[@gamerman5733]

noted. I'll implement some of these ideas along with my own for my smash bros fan game

[@GoldenSandslash15]

After watching this video, I hope that Nathaniel Bandy is NEVER put in charge of the Smash Bros series.

[@penguinmaster222]

I genuinely want to see bandana dee in smash because there wasn’t a new Kirby series character as of smash ultimate, he would be a VERY good character :D

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

Bandy, I love that you want Zero in the game, and you even showed his Zero series version specifically which is my preferred of his two forms. But he would absolutely NOT be an echo. His combat revolves around the Z-Saber, not projectiles. He has to be a separate fighter with unique references to his games in his moveset, like the Shield Boomerang as a special move or the Chain Rod being a ranged grab. Personally, I just want a new Smash Bros. Dial back on the absurd amount of fighters and stages so more focus can be put on the side content. We need a new platforming adventure in the style of Subspace, we need an expanded Smash Run, and we definitely need a better Stage Builder that’s easier to navigate. I suggest combining the straightforward style of Brawl’s with the easier to understand Wii U interface. You could build stages with either system or even combine both into something entirely new. Also, custom target test and board the platforms stages. I also think Special Orders should be brought back, it was a nice way to challenge yourself and unlock stuff, and Crazy Orders was addicting as heck. As for new fighters, Zero has always been at the top of my list. Next, Waluigi. His Time Has Come. Third, Crash Bandicoot, with Coco as his echo fighter. We definitely need a new fighter from Sonic’s series too. Shadow, Tails, Eggman, Knuckles, any of them would be awesome additions and I am very disappointed in Sega for not giving any of them the chance to be a fighter. It’s hard to go wrong with a Pokémon fighter, and for my pick I’m choosing Meowscarada. Not only would it be great to finally have another Grass-type, Meowscarada would be a really unique fighter thanks to the magician theme. Lastly, I think it’s only right to have an indie fighter. Indies are an important part of the gaming industry, after all. As for who it could be, I’m not sure. I think Shovel Knight and Shantae are the most likely choices (though Shantae would probably need a redesign from WayForward since her outfit is a tad revealing). But the one I would love to see the most is the crazed Italian chef, Peppino Spaghetti!

[@jinpachimishima4415]

12:43 There is something similar to boss rush. The end of World of Light has you fight all the bosses in a row before fighting Galeem and Darkhon at the same time. I think it’s interrupted by platforming stuff though, and I think it excluded the hands.

[@pancakecookie5353]

I would've also added Magolor since he's pretty popular among the Kirby community and with Return to Dreamland Deluxe coming out a few months ago. He's also relevant. Also Dry Bones for smash! Other than that I completely agree with everything you said.

[@Nube-Gamer]

Making your own Board the Platforms & Target Test is very genius

[@tacoforce5]

something i’d like to see is items and assist trophies that represent the DLC franchises. i’d love to see a minecraft item

[@Lukkak09]

Honesly pretty good. while I would like a full on Smash reboot (cut the characetrs (RIP Piranha Plant), introduce new mechanics, focus on the First Party franchises), I wouldn't mind a rerelease of smash Ultimate with new content (as long as I get Red from Angry Birds).

[@octanproductions6492]

"Smash Ultimate. has no way to fight all the bosses back to back." You kinda do that in sephiroph's classic mode, and I've seen people not using mods just fight Them as any character.

[@zarinblade5936]

Wow, a new prediction video, haven’t seen one of those in a while.

[@Zakster10]

Sakurai once said that a new smash bros game will not be released until a new nintendo console will be released. So he might make a new one, but anything can happen.

[@PaperMarioBros]

Man I love Nathaniel Bandy on Smash Bros 6

[@NaveKnights]

I agreed with the majority of the points you made in the video Nathaniel.If they had to add new characters i definitely think this would be my list: Waluigi (i mean cmon) Geno (Sakurai really wanted him in smash but sadly made him a costume) Eggman/Shadow (I think that sonic needed another character in their franchise) Sans (why not, its funny, and sans would be an interesting character) Finally id say Bandanadee (i believe that he would make a cool addition to the game). I think that being able to change stages to their previous form i think is amazing and i think that should also be applied to characters too, some characters I preferred their brawl/melee design and it would allow people to have their own style when playing the game and not feeling restricted to 8 alternate colours. That also brings me to my next point, new smash alts. I feel like the majority of smash characters had missed potential for cool alternate costumes/colours, take Sonic for example, he couldve had a super sonic alternate outfit or Luigi couldve worn his suit which he wears in the mario bros ds minigames. I think that would also spice up the customisation people could have in a Smash Bros Ultimate Deluxe Game. A cool local/online game mode could be called something along the lines of 'Gamebreaker' mode. This game mode essentially makes all the characters in the game feel overpowered and chaotic, similar to how Project M and Brawl Minus work. This would be a great alternative to regular gameplay and may actually require more skill rather than the standard mode. This also allows players to play diversely and give them freedom to how they want to play. My final point would have to be moveset reworks. Some characters feel like they were given the worst/laziest moveset they couldve possibly been given, take sonic for example (again) he couldve been provided with a boost gauge which he fills up by damaging opponents and had way less ball moves (seriously he goes into a ball too much), Megaman seems to have very little physical balance unlike other characters which does aline with his game but it makes him easily susceptible to reflectors and absorbers. If they analyised each character to provide them with a balanced, unique and fun moveset that feels reminiscent of the character themself then im sure super smash bros ultimate deluxe would become the best smash game of all time.

[@WitherofEarth]

6:20 to be fair on pac maze, im pretty sure the main reason it wasn't included in smash ultimate was cuz of the gimmick the power pellet idea is cool but it only really works for the 3ds game, since afaik the ghosts do not turn blue for you if you weren't the one who grabbed the power pellet. that only applies to the person who DID get the power pellet, so if you're playing smash bros on the same screen, instead of using separate screens for each player, that would get extremely confusing really quick, so i can see why they didn't include pac maze

[@kylemccrory8509]

A 4k SSBU would be elite.

[@Ryker1975]

Hey Nathaniel B! I just wanted to ask when will you rank every DK game?

[@mir8clegaming896]

I can't wait for my $200+ dollar costing smash bros.

[@justin96130]

To me, I think Shadow The Hedgehog is the most obvious echo fighter. Surprised they didn’t include him in Ultimate. Also, only having one Sonic character is a crime.

[@bilguuntugskhasherdene9146]

You will know its going to be a good day when Nathaniel uploads a video.

[@L.A.Z.E.R.13]

All these ideas are 🔥

[@pikaverse2497]

Smash Modders: WRITE THIS DOWN, WRITE THIS DOWN

[@station428]

I *highly* doubt anything in this video would happen. It would be a licensing disaster. Sakurai himself said Ultimate is the only time this will happen, he even stepped down from Smash Bros. so the next game won’t even involve him. The next game will likely be a reboot.

[@eddychim209]

Having Master Chief, the alien fighting soldier would be BADASS!!!

[@MegaFeeso]

Tilting the menu with the right analog has to return
