    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I can't wait for Classic Adol specifically. And also Classic Alm. Because of Reasons. I swear that's just his armor please don't report my account-

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    My personal hot take is that I'd rather have the Fire Emblem Lords as a whole go back to the retro anime-style they had back in Melee; Or at least the earlier ones, the newer Lords can keep the newer anime style their games have. It's a really neat look that I feel stands out more than the...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I never got my absolute most wanteds, but I seem to remember all my reactions were "Oh hey, these guys look pretty cool." I was a pretty casual gamer at the time and SSBU was what got me into a lot of different game series, so there wasn't that much variation in my reactions truth be told

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    I think part of it might also be a bit of speculation fatigue, at least on the SmashBoards side of things. After multiple years of DLC speculation, including the mid-pandemic "nothing is happening" period, we were finally approaching the end, so everyone was kinda tired out. Though, part of it...

    Hero's RNG is hilarious and a blast for casual games with friends, but it's also an absolutely bizarre decision when Dragon Quest isn't nearly that random. Last I checked, I'm pretty sure your command menu doesn't change itself every turn. In hindsight, it kinda feels like making them gimmicky...

    I like unlocking things, but Ultimate's process took a good long while and the limited, random rematches made things a pain in the ass if you failed to beat them the first time. There could at least be more specific, easier to manage criteria than just playing the game for hours of running...

    I used to watch a lot of Digimon as a kid and then faded out of it. That said I distinctly remember MetalGreymon was humongous so let's have MetaGreymon specifically, he's the size of Giga Bowser, have fun suckers

    Something stylized like PMD would be great. Photorealism never interested me, still doesn't. I don't need Smash to completely redo the animation style and framerate and all that, like with Guilty Gear or Hi-Fi Rush, but in general stylized, painted/cel-shaded graphics have kinda become a big...

    Regarding this bit, I dunno, Nintendo consistently puts out regular releases, whereas Sony and Xbox only have a small handful of exclusives to bank on. Hell, Sony just doesn't have a major release to put out this year, short of more remasters. And we know that Ratchet and Clank lost money...

    To be fair PlayStation and Xbox are also infamous for Not Having Games, and they're getting a ton of flack for recycling the same titles again and again. Nintendo also just... Doesn't hop on big industry trends all the time; They make smaller budgeted titles, don't bank on having the highest...

    By having Mario. Little Timmy sees the hot new Mario, he wants the hot new Mario, he convinces his parents to get the hot new Mario. You're correct that if a new game has a smaller roster it'd have to build up a separate identity beyond being "The Game That Has Everybody," but like. It's still...

    Yeah, everyone and their mom has a Switch, and half of everyone with a Switch has SSBU actually more like a quarter but you get the message. If the Switch 2 has backwards compatibility - Which it probably will - I highly doubt Nintendo would waste time and resources porting a game most potential...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    Nobody's attacking you or Ultimate fans, chill. Gengar's just voicing his opinion - that Ultimate was already the big EVERYONE IS HERE game, so he'd rather the next game focus more on newcomers to avoid getting stuck in Ultimate's shadow. That's all. Someone giving their piece on how they would...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    Not gonna lie that's a pretty limited selection of newcomers. Counting clones, Brawl had 18 newcomers, and Smash 4 had 17 in base. And for what it's worth, Smash 4 had half the DLC made up of newcomers. I highly doubt they'd devote so much of the DLC to just veterans again, especially if they...

    Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

    Yeah, this looks a lot smoother. The one nitpick I have is that there aren't that many newcomers, but this is like, Smash 4 sized, so I won't give you crap for that. There's really only so many spaces to go around. Logically I don't think Smash 6 will go back to 50 characters unless it's a...
