Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Jomosensual]

Alright, so who do you think is considered a top-tier character in terms of requests and discussion. I don't mean your favorite, or a mildly popular character, or who you consider a sleeper pick. i'm talking big names that everyone and their mother are talking about. From what I can gather, the most talked-about characters are:

• Geno
• Dante
• Doomguy
• Master Chief
• Steve?
• Sora
• Crash

Any others I may have missed?

Isaac and Waluigi

 

[Michael the Spikester]

My guesses on the final five.

Crash Bandicoot
Elma
Gen 8 Pokemon
Ryu Hayabusa
Travis Touchdown

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Toxtricity is one of my least favorite Pokemon period.

So... I don't want him much.

I'd take pretty much any Gen 8 Pokemon over him.

 

[cmbsfm]

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. I still think Rayman has more going for him at the moment, given that even Ubisoft's bot wants him (Or wanted him, before any mention of him was removed). Still, there's something odd about Altair being the sole representative of Assassin's Creed over Ezio, even if he's just a costume.

I think Altair’s game might be more well known in Japan. That was the explanation I heard at least. Anyone else can confirm?

Lucky you didn't say any pokemon in general or I would have dropped a pic of Bruxish in here

I actually like Bruxish more.

Unironically. It's a neat reference to real world fish.

In regards to your most wanted character, what kind of "cute detail" would you want for them? Like, a reference to their home games in a way that doesn't necessarily affect gameplay much (or at all). A good example of this is Joker's victory screens being just like in Persona 5, with him doing victory laps around the area, and his All Out Attack finishing screen too.

For me, I'd want Sora's HUD icon render to change expressions during battle like it does in the original Kingdom Hearts games when he gets hit or is low on health, just in the Smash render art style instead of the hand drawn styles seen in KHI, KHII, and KH3D.

Crash Bandicoot's Biker outfit from Crash 3 would be my main alt. I pick black alts whenever I can, because I'm just that much of an edgelord.

Octoling: instead of "GAME!", "VICTORY!" etc, when they win, they get the "TEST PASSED" overlay with the first few seconds of the Octo Expansion victory jingle like here:

the sound the Octoling makes at the Test Passed screen are variations of their Splatoon 2 Booyah sounds ("Veemo!", "Weyo" etc) and the victory pose screen has that 80's tv effect until the name "OCTOLING" appears

You pretty much got them all, at least as far as the west goes.

It'd be nice to hear more region-based requests. I know Reimu is like a Sans equivalent in Japan and Saber is supposedly way up there, but not sure who else. I know Ayumi Tachibana has been requested and has similarities with Geno/Heihachi in that she was flat out wanted by Sakurai to be in the game, but I don't know the frequency of how requested she is.

 

[7NATOR]

So I got another question for you guys. Do you guys think Min-Min is setting a Trend with this Pass, and if so, what trend

People argue that Joker started the 3rd party trend that we got for 4/5 of it's characters. Typically the first character, or first reveals of a Season Pass do have to be one of the more exciting ones, as that's the character that's is gonna sell the pass in the beginning. SFV Started with Alex from SF3 (Who people wanted to come back), DBFZ started with Bardock and Broly (Very popular characters), Tekken Season 2 had Negan revealed in the beginning despite being the last character actually released. Within Smash in the past, the first DLC was Mewtwo, one of the most Popular veteran requests

If Min-Min is suppose to be the character that sells the Pass, on what basis is she selling it on and what could it mean. I saw a video of someone saying they won't buy the pass (and they don't hate Min-Min), because they are more for more new 3rd parties being added in, and Speaking with your wallet is best way to decide content. what do you guys think?

I'd like to see Ganon's Final Smash be summoning Phantom Ganon, much like how Ganondorf's Final Smash has him transforming into Ganon.

A moveset idea I also had for him is for his primary weapon to be a trident that can be thrown a la K. Rool's crown, and while disarmed he fights with dual swords, referencing his main melee weapons of choice in the Zelda games.

If Reimu's hypothetical moveset integrates Fantasy Nature, I'd want the Hisoutensoku theme to start blaring, just to tell the opponent how screwed they are. Bonus points if it keeps playing during the victory screen.

Does feel like a missed opportunity not doing that with Banjo & Kazooie, as them changing facial expressions and looking more tired/unwell as they take off health is an iconic part of them. Though every character, outside of alt characters, has one render and I bet it takes a lot to make that one, let alone multiple variations. I do find the idea of characters having changes in how the UI works interesting and hope that’s implemented one day.

Since Crash is my most wanted, I’m not sure, outside of the expected (would love one of his victory animations to be him being hit in the head with boxes). I’d have to finish the N Sane Trilogy keeping that in mind if I spot something.

My most wanted is Bandana Dee himself... so there's not much but I imagine one of his victory screens having Dee in a group hug with Kirby, Meta and Dedede. (Which would be kinda cute.)

Edit:

Spoiler: Something like this

One of Crash's victory animations should obviously be his silly victory dance. And a "missed boxes" animation would be hilarious too, especially if it endlessly looped like Simon's Red Crystal victory animation.

When you win a match with Dante, it doesn't say "Game", it just shows bullet holes covering the entire screen like in the DMC games.

When you win a match as an RE character, it shows the typewriter HUD from RE4's save screen.

What about the Snake joins the Brawl trailer?

Hm... that one is a bit of a tough one since Snake technically got revealed in the E3 2006 trailer. So I thought it'd be redundant to include both. However, I'll look into maybe uploading it later.

 

[CosmicQuark]

I want Crash to have the ricochet sound effect for whenever he spins something away.

I hadn’t thought of that, would be interesting if his spinning attack spun items away. I’m curious what the closest example of that is, as I know some characters have unique interactions with items.

 

[GoodGrief741]

Big brain moment for BotW Zelda's name: Per Zelda II, all the Princesses in Hyrule are named Zelda, right? So they're bound to have numerals in their names to differentiate them.

Bottom line is call her Zelda CDXX or some other number, canonize how many games they can make.

While we're on the subject of leaks, what is everyone's thoughts about the League of Legends text post? I'm not talking about the legitimacy of it (because it's probably rubbish), but about how people would feel about a LoL fighter? It's inarguably one of the biggest games of all time and would be our first character from a computer game. Although, I get the feeling it wouldn't be a big hit with the crowd who are Nintendo focused fans.

I personally feel quite middling about a character being added. But I would be extremely intrigued concerning which character they would select.

I don't have much of an opinion, it'd be pretty lukewarm for me but I can't say LoL doesn't deserve it.

I expect the fanbase to take it really poorly though, I think we'd even see complaints of anime even though LoL is Western.

Been playing through 0 lately and I'd love to see this happen; I even have a Kiryu Brawler Mii on Ultimate right now, lol.

Honestly, a super aggressive, rushdown brawler like Kiryu would be sick, and Yakuza is packed to the brim with excellent characters, stage locations, and music to make for an extremely solid pack. Plus, a Heat mechanic sounds amazing, and would work as a reverse of Joker (get rewarded for hitting rather than being hit) and I think it would make for a super interesting character.

His stage needs to have a mechanic where he shows up as a boss, though:

Spoiler

Majima needs to be an Assist Trophy only you don't need to pick up the item for him to show up and he spawns even with items off.

"We're proud to announce we're bringing back trophies and events just so we could do "Trophy Tussle: Spring Man". Enjoy fighting on the King of Spring!"

"Also hazardless Pokemon Stadium 2 now takes you to the Spring Man trophy stage."

Damn they really wanted to make sure Spring Man's the least playable character ever

I think Dante and Crash have the likeliest chances of the ones mentioned. Chief would be flipping amazing, though, and he'd break the Internet harder then Cloud or even Sonic did.

Even though implementing something like this will not be ideal, I'd love for Francis York Morgan to have a thing where he talks to Zach about video game franchises within the Smash Universe in his stage. It'd be a lot like how he starts talking about a bunch of old movies during the driving sections of Deadly Premonition.

Also, for a Dynasty Warriors character, their stage should have those dialogue boxes like in every Musou game. That would be pretty neat.

That one's hard. There's not much to really nod to for Quest 64. There's general animations, but they mean little. The closest might be against some specific one-on-one fights Brian has a unique item animation based upon some enemy drops.

• Charizard/Corrin/Ridley/Min Min(all Dragons. Bowser is a turtle): Celtland's Secret Potion
• Mewtwo(the closest thing to a Were Cat, as they're both fairly mutant-like): Dragon's Potion
• Piranha Plant/Ivysaur(one's a full-out plant. The other is related to plants): Celine's Bell
• Wii Fit Trainer/Isabelle/Ganondorf/Sheik/Palutena/Dark Samus(mainly NPC's. Though you could switch out Isabelle with Dark Pit, but I forget if you can legitimately play as him): Wings. There's 6 of them, and they could tie to different characters;
  • Ganondorf: Black Wings
  • Palutena: White Wings
  • Sheik: Green Wings
  • Isabelle: Blue Wings
  • Wii Fit Trainer: Yellow Wings
  • Dark Samus: Red Wings

The last one is tough, cause they're color-coded by "elements". Ganondorf is basically evil, hence Black. Palutena is the true good, so White. Sheik is easily associated with Wind, due to being a Ninja, so Green works fine. Wii Fit Trainer is a physical character, and Earth fits well enough with Yellow. Isabelle goes with the flow generally, and Dark Samus kind of... just works? Some barely are easy to tie in.

Yeah, as much as I like the Dee, I personally classify him as a high-tier in speculation rather than top tier. Using my criteria, this would include characters that are fairly popular but not to the point that you're bound see at least one them on every most wanted list. Most of these seem to be sleeper picks like Reimu, former top-tiers that fell out of interest with the advent of crazy third-parties, like Isaac, or both, like Bandana Dee. Waluigi is a borderline case, since he's still got the memes and such, but he's not quite everywhere nowadays. I think it's the one-two punch of the infamous moment where Waluigi fans harassed Sakurai, followed by the aforementioned rise of out-there third-parties.

Was that when we got lots of 3rd Party reps?

 

[SharkLord]

Was that when we got lots of 3rd Party reps?

Yeah, it was kickstarted with Joker and furthered with Banjo and Kazooie. Joker raised the bar to new levels because of how different he was compared to the other third-parties at the time; He wasn't a classic, he had little-to-no relation to Nintendo, he wasn't a popular request, and who could forget the style, cool new stage, and gun he brought to Smash? Suddenly, everyone could be on the table.
This mentality was furthered by Hero and Banjo, both thrid-parties as well. Banjo, in particular, was not only a huge request, but a Microsoft-owned character as well, and suddenly ****ing MASTER CHIEF, of all people, became a popular request. Terry solidified this mentality and the standards for fighters yet to come with Sakurai's passion, his uniqueness, and the sheer amount of content he brought with him.
At the moment, I believe Terry will be the standard future fighters will be held to, whether the judges know it or not.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

Crash Bandicoot series was know for it's "Looney Tunes/Slapstick" style and death animations and I for one would love to see some of that implemented into Smash.

When Crash falls of the platform and dies he should yell "Woah" and his shoes should go flying up or falling down if he gets killed upwards with a blast KO.

I would love to see more of his death animations like when he gets incinerated into ash or killed by an explosion and become an angel playing the didgeridoo, But that's not expected and probably asking too much.

Like many others have said,You also gotta have his "Crash Dance" as his taunts and victory animations as well and his "Stage Entrance" to be a level teleport from "Cortex Strikes Back" or a time warp from "Warped.

I also hope they use the new model that was created for "Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time".

When Dixie breaks out of her barrel for her on screen appearance animation (like DK and Diddy) she does a little hover before landing on the starting platform.

She should also have her guitar in one of her victory screens.

I still suspect Cinderace given the anime.

I'd say Inteleon and Sirfetch'd have good chances too if you really want to look at the anime for hints, given that Sobble and Galarian Farfetch'd will make their anime debut literally next week.

I personally feel that a series that already has a non-echo newcomer or new stage in Ultimate Base & Volume 1 isn't going to get a character for Volume 2 TBH. It would be kind of redundant IMO.

Well Plant wasn't Base nor Volume 1, so i guess Geno and Waluigi still on menu

Being Serious, maybe. I think it depends on character by character basis, and also the Franchise. Mario and Pokemon are among the biggest gaming franchises so maybe Nintendo won't give a hoot, though even then they already have alot of characters so and Stages (Mario has 19 Stages, around 1/5-1/6 of the Stage selection) So I don't know.

Going by this, Represented Franchises that could be character

Xenoblade (Rex, Elma)
Kirby (Bandanna Dee, Magalor, Marx)
Star Fox (Krystal)
Wario (Ashley)
Sonic (Tails, Eggman, Shadow, & Knuckles)
Mega Man (Zero, though he's probably dead though)

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Well Plant wasn't Base nor Volume 1, so i guess Geno and Waluigi still on menu

Icedragon also mentionned new stages, and Mario got New Donk City.
