Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[N3ON]

The "top insiders" I meant are the ones like Verge, PolarPanda.
I suppose you have a point.

I wonder what a bottom level insider is if Verg is top level.

 

[Will]

But yeah, to furthur my point:


Yashuu is Brave, it's always a Dragon Quest 3 reference when used in this way.

As example, have a character from one of my gacha games who had a joke event based around her:

Spoiler: Slightly NSFW, but I've shielded your virgin eyes with Danny

She's wearing the Dragon Quest 3 female warrior armor, surrounded totally not-knockoff Slimes, and her title is:


Brave.



I rest my case.

wow okay no shoutout to me for my blessed devito techniques?!?!?!?

 

[Shroob]

And thanks to the ultimate chad that is Arigarmy.

You are a mere Lvl 1. Crook. Vergeben is a Lvl 80. Boss.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Also I like how we're forgetting about Mario and Doctor Mario, literally the same character with different announcement calls

They have different jobs and have different speeds along with different murder appeal...that’s all the differences needed

I love how you just made the picture more NSFW.

I know, Danny's a sexy beast ain't he?

...Then it turns out that Brave is Revali from Breath of the Wild.

I mean, Brave is too specific, it suggests it's an hero or something.

If it's a Dragon Quest character or a Bravely Default character, it would be too obvious IMO; the other codenames are more cryptic.

I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens...

Cryptic?

Nah, not really.

Joker's is Jack, which has a lot of references behind it, and Pakkun is a nickname for Piranha Plant.

 

[Zinith]

"Pakkun?"

Isn't that also the Japanese name of the biting lizard enemy in Secret of Mana?

Spoiler

Which I won't show a picture of because almost all of them on Google images are... um, questionable

 

[Wademan94]

So now there are two Ryus? Man that’s gonna be real confusing.

Just ask Roy how that feels.

Which one? The one with the sword or the one in the clown car?

Oh, heh heh, I see what you’re saying.

But seriously if they do make more Palutena’s Guidances for the DLC characters and Ryu’s one of them, there should be an exchange similar to this.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Cryptic?

Nah, not really.

Pakkun is literally Piranha Plant's Japanese name.

Pakkun Flower

 

[Shroob]

Pakkun is literally Piranha Plant's Japanese name.

Pakkun Flower

Right.


So they're really not cryptic at all.

They're both derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia for eating (or more simply mouth flapping), pakupaku. Same etymology for Pac-Man's name.

 

[GoeGoe]

I wish I could view the world with an unapologetic view uninhibited by pesky things like facts and logic.

You're already there.
And by the way, I'm not a fan of Minecraft either.

Ask and you shall receive ha, dropping in to say hello. Hope everyone on this thread is doing well. Whats the recent news, what have I missed?

Well hello there buddy O/
PM sent. You don't need this atmosphere.

 

[Shroob]

While I feel like "Brave" is 100% Erdrick, I wonder if a Japanese copy of the game would be different, or if this is a one-glove size fits all sorta deal.


If it was Yasshu, it's be undeniably Erdrick, no question.

 

[Zinith]

Considering the enemy (and the fanart), that makes sense...

 

[Iko MattOrr]

Pakkun is literally Piranha Plant's Japanese name.

Pakkun Flower

my bad, I didn't know... for some reason I assumed they were called the same in Japan...

 

[Shroob]

My god the subreddit is.......being reddit, that's for sure.


"Maybe Jack refers to Jack and the beanstalk?"


....and I saw MULTIPLE posts like that.....wat

What are the chances of "Ruined Dragon" from Mario Odussey showing up?

 

[Roberk]

It's E3 2019. Nintendo is at the end of their Direct. Everyone knows a Smash reveal is happening, the anticipation couldn't be greater. The screen goes dark. This starts playing.

Nintendo then proceeds to win E3 with a single trailer for DLC.

Guilty as charged.

 

[Deleted member]

While I still think the whole "Brave" thing is very much still up for debate, imagine if everyone who thought it was Dragon Quest be wrong and another clapback occurs with it actually being Brave Vesperia because of Tales of Vesperia Remaster on the Switch.

Yuri wouldn't surprise me, though as a Gamecube bab, I much prefer Symphonia.

 

[Noipoi]

I dedicated this piece to my babies who couldn't quite make it.

Next game for sure!

They will be in Wario's Final Smash next game.

 

[YoshiandToad]

After all this talk of Erdrick, we discover instead that Brave is actually our first Pixar rep.

 

[Noipoi]

One step at a time.

Chrom was a final smash until a buncha losers cried for him, right? I just gotta cry for these guys over the next decade!

 

[Deleted member]

Or, we can take this a step further.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora's Valor Form translated in Japanese is called "Brave Form".

The possibilities are endless.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Spoiler

R-Right?

With 1/3 of the roster cut yes.

 

[BlondeLombax]

This talk about the leaks has gotten me a bit worried. Obviously I’m catastrophizing, but it’s still bothering me. I thought about how much flak Minecraft reps could get, and how those fans would react should it actually go through. I imagineed multiple scenarios happening, with the tamest being that fans were so vocal that Nintendo is forced to candles the challenger pack, while the worst of it involves a bomb, NoA’s headquarters, upset fans, and the subsequent cancellation of all DLC beyond that point. Obviously I’m being dramatic, but it still scares me how far fans will go should we get anything from Minecraft.

but thats vergil from DMC

 

[Dee Dude]

I’m just pulling for Waluigi and Isaac to make it next Smash.

#CamelotBros

No Waluigi game, no new GS, neither are playable in Smash.

I swear it’s like Nintendo has it out for Camelot.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Yeah. Could be Brave Form Sora, Bravely Default, Brave Vesperia, or it could just be more of a loose correlation like with Jack and it's actually Erdrick or another "brave hero" type of character. There are no real clues besides the rapid jab thing, and there are some swordfighters with rapid jabs and a bunch of brawlers without them, so it doesn't mean much.
