Smash News

  • Countdown to Smash:
    • As of 7/6 153 Days
  • Washington Post Article on Smash
    • Sakari on audience focus
      • “When you talk about audience, I don’t really think too much about the audience per se,” Sakurai told The Washington Post through a translator ahead of the game’s unveiling at E3. “I feel like a game, at the end of the day, is about playing the game. But if we focus too much on the top level players — or the audience — then the game skews a little bit too much on the technical side.”
    • Bringing the community together
      • As of 2017, in terms of viewership and entrants, Melee and Smash 4 tournaments have been comparable. According to Newzoo, Melee and Smash 4 ranked 11th and 12th respectively in terms of viewership, with a combined 16.8 million hours viewed on the Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch. [Note: The Washington Post is owned by Jeffrey P. Bezos, CEO of Amazon.] If those audiences were in fact combined, the Smash scene would rank 9th, well above Capcom’s Street Fighter V, and below Psyonix’s car-soccer game, Rocket League. It would also make Smash the world’s top fighting game in terms of viewership.
  • Amiibo for All!
    • The returning characters that didn’t have amiibo will be getting their own, released when the game comes out!

Talking points

  • Should there be more of competitive focus in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?
    • More modes?
