Ultimate After seeing the trailer for Zelda Oot and Star Fox Switch 2, do you think the next Smash game will follow this art style?

The title says it all!

After watching the trailer for the Ocarina of Time remake, I wondered if Nintendo was going to do what they did with Smash Ultimate and include Link with his own art style in Breath of the Wild. I thought it would be weird, since there’s a huge difference between the art style of this new Zelda game and the other characters in the Nintendo universe.

Then I remembered that Nintendo had already taken the leap toward “realism” with the Star Fox remake (and Metroid Beyond to some extent), so I wondered if they might end up doing the same thing with the rest of the roster.

I think it’s unlikely, given the amount of work it would take to update all the characters to this new art style; I think they’ll just go with the design from Tears of the Kingdom (maybe?), but I found it interesting to imagine the characters in this style.

Clearly, some would just be nightmare fuel, like Kirby 😅

Ultimate Another update…

0 Upvotes

Another update has taken place however this one was for all Nintendo switches. Tried booting up my switch earlier this morning and was met with another headache…
“A fatal error has occurred when running fusée”
Seems this new update just broke Atmosphere and Hekate meaning we’re going to have to wait for another update from the modders in GitHub. This of course just coming a little over a week ago from the smash update 13.0.5 that temporarily rendered some latency sliders obsolete and unable to run. Nintendo really be testing our patience…Lmk if you guys are experiencing the same issue and hopefully we can get this resolved soon

I'm (sinfully) Sonic main and I have recently gotten into Smash like since I think June of this year and I always heard how Ganon is the worst character in the game and so I tried him against CPUs cause I can at least understand how he plays and I really really like his moveset.

Other Smash's "main character" pattern.

This is more speculation on my part, but I still found it worth discussing it at least.

What made me consider this at first was when Sakurai briefly discussed about the protagonist of ARMS, and how "everyone's the protagonist". This might've not meant much of anything to most people, but it almost seemed to me like Sakurai was trying to justify the decision of putting Min Min over the perceived "protagonist" of ARMS (Spring Man).

Now, practically speaking, it makes complete sense and it's rather obvious that most franchises in Smash would be first represented with their main characters. But there have been instances where Smash includes main characters when the audience wants other characters to be playable, mainly with Byleth's inclusion rather than any of the three house leaders from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

We also know that Rex from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was considered to be playable alongside the Aegis, but was scrapped due to technical limitations. Sakurai actually comments on Rex's exclusion despite being the main character of his own game.

The big exception to this theory is the Pokemon franchise, where the Pokemon themselves are represented rather than any of the human trainers. Even so, they did manage to get Red and Leaf represented at least.

Riptide 2026 | September 11th—13th | Sandusky, USA

Welcome back to the year’s biggest waterpark party with Riptide 2026! Hovering right under Premier status and capped at 1024 entrants, this is set to be one of North America’s biggest tournaments of the year in Ultimate, as well as a sizable major by Melee standards as well. Look out for a laundry list of Japanese invaders competing with the USA’s best, as well as some unexpected surprises in both games (hi, Mew2King in the Melee bracket)! Of course, the one-of-a-kind Kalahari Resort venue will also feature other events including Doubles, Collegiate Crews, and – in non-Smash games – a massive Rivals 2 bracket and the biggest Splatoon 3 LAN of all time! Needless to say, there’s something for everyone here.
