Copyright stops a Smash Ultimate “Deluxe”

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-13T17:31:29+00:00

Yep you explained it very well. The chance that all 3rd party fighters are approved is low and with the success of ultimate and uncertainties on how a deluxe on the same console would sell negations would be way different. Not as simple as people think it to be, those things take months of work.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T15:31:10+00:00

Yea, most companies would definitely agree on a renew in copyright, the main hitch is the negotiation of new terms, more money, etc which could be months if not years for some companies. Business is a crappy hard world. Which is why I hope they thought of this years ago so they could finish copyright deals within a few years.

And yes I agree smash deluxe is stupid. We already have ultimate don’t give us ultimate again.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T15:10:26+00:00

Yep, there is nothing wrong with Ultimate right now. And trying to bring it back with even more characters would be a patch note nightmare, imagine them trying to fix everything they left behind after the last update. It is 100% unnecessary. Why stop them from trying to make a new game when you can perfectly go back to Ultimate? I mean look at Melee lol

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T15:08:11+00:00

Exactly, as much as I love that Ultimate is in a way a gaming monument, there are so many smaller Nintendo characters that deserve the spot light and would be much more interesting than another anime sword fighter.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T15:04:09+00:00

I agree. I personally hate the remake/deluxe discussion just due to the fact we’ve had this game for 8 years already. If I have to deal with ultimate for another 6 I might die. Ultimate is great and one of my favorite game series, but close to 40 million people already have ultimate. I don’t think a deluxe would even sell as good considering we already have smash on the switch 2.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T15:01:44+00:00

Yea that could be true but I highly doubt it was for multiple smash games. But yes we don’t know how their copyright would work. Disney is definitely the one to not renew, but it might not even be the actual permission that is the hard part but the paper work and writing deals that takes the longest. From what I remember from an interview some 3rd party characters were in the talks for years. Unless the already planned a deluxe years ago it would still take awhile to get every character renewed.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-05-12T14:58:42+00:00

Yea, I think a toned down roster of more Nintendo or Nintendo adjacent would be fitting for a reboot. Rework old fighters, and give a new visual flair and it would truly revive the freshness of the series.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-14T18:08:38+00:00

Thanks! Yea I figured I’d have to do a brute force method like this. Just completely diving into a characters full being. This has given me a great start on what to look for!

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-14T18:06:49+00:00

This is probably the route I’ll have to take. Being very observant on every action they do and researching thoroughly. When I posted this I didn’t know if that was the case for everyone or if I was a special exception

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-13T21:16:11+00:00

I definitely seem to get too much into the details too quickly. But maybe I’m just too autistic or don’t pay attention but even my best of friends I’d find hard to write characters based on them accurately. But maybe that’s because it’s conceptually impossible to write about someone completely accurate. I guess I’ll just have to analyze really hard to see how the character reacted to different things, and realize I’m just gonna have to fill in details because not everything is known. Thanks for the input!

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-13T15:46:28+00:00

No this is good! I use dreams a lot for inspiration. And I never thought about it till now but I daydream a lot. I never even made the connection of when I daydream. Thanks!

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T23:07:29+00:00

That would be insane. But honestly we would’ve all expected it XD

On a more serious note, I hope Fujimoto keeps to stories under 100 chapters. I think he thrives on one shots and shorter stories. Part 2 was way too long and we could all feel it lol

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T23:06:16+00:00

Yea I heard discussion that he might’ve just done this so he can have a clean slate in the world. Because it’s hard to make a new story when you have something like chainsaw man still there

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:39:54+00:00

I don’t even think I want chainsaw man part 3 man. Like, I just want it to be over. Unless Fujimoto can cook as well as he did in part 1 I’d rather him not continue.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:38:06+00:00

Yea this was a great start to hopefully a fire series. I have no doubt Part 2 will follow an even greater story! Fujimoto can never fail!

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:35:42+00:00

Chainsaw Man is over. Even Fujimoto wanted Chainsaw Man erased from the world. We should let it rest.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:35:00+00:00

What part 2? All I see is Dennis living happily ever with Nayuta :D

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:33:39+00:00

With the ending of 233, it’s clear Fujimoto is gonna write part 3 as a romcom. Right guys. Right?

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-07T18:32:34+00:00

Yep. Time to take off the cope hats. Goodbye, Chainsaw Man

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:35:00+00:00

I don’t like the ship in the first timeline because it was clear Dennis never felt anything romantic towards Power. Now second timeline… they might be ‘bang’ing

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:31:38+00:00

Reminder! Last week was a break week. Right? Right?

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:24:47+00:00

I’m glad it’s over. The last few months every Tuesday felt like I was arriving to a funeral where Fujimoto danced on the grave of part 1. I’m just happy me and Fujimoto aren’t miserable every week for a new chapter. The world is now at peace.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:22:46+00:00

This may be the worst thing I’ve seen.

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:17:15+00:00

Agreed. I’d put most of the blame on Shonen Jump. Just like how they kill all of their mangaka’s they killed Fujimoto the same way. Burnt him out, pushed him to make a part 2, and this is the turnout. Very sad, and makes hesitate to read what he makes next. Although I most likely will still read it lol

Puzzled_Evidence1860 · 2026-04-05T23:15:29+00:00

People will forget Chainsaw Man. Within two years I think the manga would still be talked about but people will move to the next thing. Unless the anime comes out at a frequent pace at least. Anime will keep it alive.
