Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[N3ON]

Sakurai pushed for this inclusion just so there could be more than two ****ing Final Fantasy songs.

That's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Peridorito]

Holy **** I wasn't expecting that. Sephiroth wasn't my pick for a second Final Fantasy character (I wanted Terra) but I knew he was the most likely one and the trailer was hype

 

[Schnee117]

Sephiroth will be released almost exactly 5 years after Cloud btw

 

[Polan]

****ing coolest trailer so far god damn

Tifa for CP9, so we can have 6 songs.

 

[[Maple]]

Not a big fan. We already have a FFVII rep...

 

[Kokiden]

It's been extremely long since I came to this site but... Sephiroth?!

I love FF7, so I am quite happy with this. Was disappointed at the other characters but this makes up the current season pass for me.

More FF music! I hope they add way more fantastic tracks this time around.

Also, this means 2B won't be getting in at all. Ah well. It's Sephiroth so I'm ok with it since he's an iconic character.

 

[skylanders fan]

have to say that Mario moment almost got me that was awesome

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

....So who's ready to see if the Geno mii costume returns or not with Sephiroth?


Who's ready to gamble?

I'm ready to see 2B as a Mii Costume as well...But I am not angry. I'm super hype

 

[ARandomFruit]

I can't stop smiling. This is so great he looks so great aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

FIGHT TO SEE WHO IS THE BETTER BROTHER

 

[RileyXY1]

Not a big fan. We already have a FFVII rep...

Then again, FF only has 2 songs and no Spirits apart from Cloud's Fighter Spirits.

 

[N3ON]

Tifa for CP9, so we can have 6 songs.

You'd get no arguments from me.

 

[7NATOR]

So we getting another Sonic Character after this?

But Sephiroth Hype, I'm gonna main him, RIP Geno. Long Live Shadow

 

[Deleted member]

Take me back to Min Min.

If you told me that Steve and Sephiroth are the next characters, I would never believe you in ages.

I am extremely happy with this result.

 

[Hokori]

I ran out of the room after I heard the trailer music (One WInged Angel). Was there a release date at the end of the reveal?

i mean that is probably why he did it lol

It just said December 2020.

 

[PLATINUM7]

It was bold of TGAs to play hardcore pornography so early in the stream but I applaud them.

 

[Icedragonadam]

I would have preferred an FF rep from another game or a new Square Series like Nier.

 

[Momotsuki]

Sephiroth wasn't on anyone's minds but y'all KNOW he deserved this. Up there with the likes of Bowser and Ridley when it comes to iconic, industry-defining villains.

 

[Will]

im gonna pick up sephiroth, his gameplay looks cool af

robin but the final fantasy version

 

[SirBillyBob]

This will be Mario on March 31st 2021

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I heard the Game Awards was starting at 9, but it actually already started (Japan time).
Once again, we'll be showing off a new fighter for Smash Ultimate. If you can watch it, please make sure to watch it with sound. https://t.co/UahFTU8VXA

"Watch it with sound" - Professor Pumpkaboo You're getting your wish. We're getting Don chan.

I wish but what we got was just as good

 

[Zzuxon]

I sure can't wait for 2 more ****ing songs and 0 spirits, with the Final Fantasy Series not even being called The Final Fantasy Series, just Final Fantasy VII, because Square are such tight-ass pricks that they have to minimize the value added for all their characters. Sure do ****ing love that they couldn't even have the common decency to put in a character from a different Final Fantasy game, much less not have a 3rd party series overstay its welcome at all.

Actually I can wait, because I'm not buying this garbage.

 

[zumaddy]

You know what, I'm happy. Better than Steve for me IMO. He's an iconic character and we get more FF music!

 

[SNEKeater]

Incredible I just don't know what to say.

Never saw this coming lmao, and at the beginning of the show.

The trailer was amazing. Though I've always said I'd rather get another FF protag, but after seeing this amazing trailer... And well. It's ****ing Sephiroth.

I'm assuming we'll get a lot of music. At the end it said "Smash x Final Fantasy", not "Final Fantasy VII". Maybe we'll finally get FF music beyond VII?

Also, I guess this is it for Geno. I'm sorry for his fans.

 

[Goombaic]

A new Final Fantasy 7 character would unironically be one the best choices for the fighter pass.

Now that he's in, I still think that's a fact.

 

[Kokiden]

I'm mostly surprised the trailer went full Advent Children, tbh. Not that I'm complaining.

I know right?!

I was like "Mario omg they actually dared show this LOL?"

But then it wasn't actually what I thought it was xD

 

[TheBeastHimself]

WAIT A SECOND DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S A CHANCE FOR

 

[TheCJBrine]

I feel Geno might still have a chance since he's a Mario character, but idk.

Didn't care about Sephiroth but he seems cool, could be fun.

also yay same-series characters can get in.

 

[Munchi]

Sepiroth is the absolute last character I was expecting, but i'm good with it. That was hype.

also, did cloud get a new Final Smash?

That is a good question

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

Was about to say AT rule dead but forgot he wasn't an AT this game. I still believe.

 

[zumaddy]

Now I don't have to watch all The Game Awards, lol. I just want to see the Dragon Age trailer and see Hades win a few and then I'm good.

Sephiroth is in Smash! What a sentence!

 

[PacificFun]

Can we get Chun-Li and Eggman now?

C'mon, we gotta at least have Chun-Li. Jill and Lara are already dead.

 

[Hokori]

It just said December 2020.

Thank you,

Now I wait,

 

[KillerCage]

Not the character I wanted, but...

 

[Faso115]

Another thing broken by Sephiroth: First playable third party villain. And outside of returning characters, first DLC villain ever

 

[Doomguy46]

imma be real. the worst part about this is it was neither hype more particularly bad. it was just
disappointing
when all the stars aligned for doomguy.
worse, crash woulda at least been such a tasteless pick I could actively bully it
but nope here's uh...
another anime swordfighter

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

....****......Im gonna cave and buy sephiroth, arent I..
