I mean... Sephiroth could potentially be 0KO'd by Isabelle in this game, so..

I would so much love to see Slayer jump on Darkhon, yank out its eye, and crush it with his hands.

Darkhon’s eye is so glory killable, it’d work so perfectly. The blood could be rainbow colored or something so it doesn’t bump up the rating.

Rainbows I'd imagine are more Galeem's specialty, since it's the big light entity and all that.
Dharkon, however? That's probably gonna result in some oily shadows and black ink after having a Chainsaw shoved through it.

id Software on Doom's official twitter posted a message for everyone for supporting and playing the game.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

In other news, the wad Doom Zero was added to the Unity port.
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/top...android/?page=54&tab=comments#comment-2231140 This post in the thread shows changes between the original wad and its release on the official ports.
Not really major, it seems.

I also always thought a clever way to make Doomguy's trailer was to include that liquify effect from the original games.
I also expect something like Ancient Gods part 2 to have a level that takes place on the sun and have Doomguy swim through it or something else to establish his power level, so anything crazy is expected.

The Cacodemon hat was definitely 100% a mod and damn, bringing back Geno as the same model as before looks pretty tone deaf. At least Final Fantasy VII has actual content now. Hopefully if there's any Doom content, fighter or otherwise it's one of the next packs.

Well, at least we can FINALLY put that "leak" to rest. That one got very old, very fast.

Ridley_Prime · Dec 17, 2020

I stopped entertaining Cacomallow after we had Byleth. Was just a matter of waiting for others to come around.

ThunderSageNun · Dec 17, 2020

After all those months it was highly unlikely for the leak to be true, but it's good to put the final nail in the coffin.

Holphino · Dec 17, 2020

I'm just glad to finally have some closure on Cacomallow, even if it's not exactly the closure I was hoping for. Also RIP Geno, that was a pretty brutal deconfirmation.

Ridley_Prime · Dec 17, 2020

Looking at this old 4chan post, is interesting how close on the mark it is, considering when it was posted...

I doubt personally, but it's something else to go off of in the meantime. We'll know in some months with the next fighter as to whether this holds up or not.

"and Ninjara", plus the characters are out of order.

ThunderSageNun · Dec 17, 2020

at this rate I expect Rayman to be a deluxe mii costume after the MC ones tbh, but that's besides the point. I guess we have the entirety of 2021 to see what happens with the Slayer, at the least we've seen Bethesda collab with Smash already fwiw.

Giga Kaiju · Dec 17, 2020

Well, that was a presentation. I have yet to give my thoughts on the Geno thread as that was the main focus for the most part alongside Sephiroth. He plays interestingly. I am overjoyed that FFVII has content in the game now (spirits, music, and such). The Sephiroth Challenge is a fantastic idea and I'll get around it in due time. It's just Geno the only bad part of it. What a shame.

Geno got deconfirmed. And mainly, the Cacomallow leak got deconfirmed. I figured it was busted but seeing it finally getting destroyed was an experience. Ugh. Now the only character left that has a realistic chance (to a point) is the Doom Slayer.

Who knows now. That supposed picture above me might be a nice line up, imo. But I doubt it'll go that way.

It's time to wait for the remaining three characters and see what happens.

:bowser:

doomguywhen1993 · Dec 17, 2020

Sephiroth looks fun and his overall inclusion seems like it was done to fix how empty Final Fantasy 7's portrayal was at first.
I never really believed any leak, because even if one turns "true", it's not because it was right all along.
Things always change over time and most of these leaks always miss something out, that the only "true" correct leak is something as vague as "there will be a new character, i think".
It's always a shot in the dark.
It also seems Geno is a Mii costume again.

I’m getting a sense of Deja Vu. The same thing happened during FP1. Three characters already revealed. Then boom someone finds a 4chan post predicting the exact alts that Hero got and Banjo. They then predicted Monster Hunter and Doomguy. Of course, it was fake. Probably the same with this.

Although I will say them saying both Ninjara and MinMin is eyebrow raising. Ninjara was Sakurai’s other choice for an Arms character so that’s interesting that this person guessed both Min Min and Ninjara.

Anyway, even if Ryu shows up next I’ll still doubt this. It’ll take Rayman showing up for me to seriously consider this. Ryu has got a lot going for him based on what insiders have heard and what not. Pretty safe guess.

Giga Kaiju · Dec 19, 2020

Honestly, I am just done with leaks. Of any kind. Unless its something decisive like video or multiple sources, I'll believe it but otherwise no.

Rayman, Hayabusa and the Slayer as the last three sounds cool and almost ideal but it would be too good to be true.

It's a matter of time to see if it pans out or something else happens. I'll have it in mind in case it turns out that way, if any.

Solid.

I don't know why most people support Ryu H. And Doomguy together but I'm absolutely all for it.

Rayman is great as well of course.

And same, tbh I was done with leaks after Hero got revealed. Didn't want to get spoiled either.

Yeah even know i want like 10 characters in smash like Sora and Crash but I knew it was possible dream. I'm very happy with these last three picks Rayman I always wanted sense Smash 4 and beating Rayman Legends. I want Koei to get a Rep in Smash the developers a very close to Nintendo using their IPS in their Warriors Games and working alongside with Nintendo Titles such as Fire Emblem Three Houses I could just go on and on that's my point on Koei. If it wasn't for Doom First Person Shooting Games will not be huge also every Doom Game is on Switch talk about woah.

This image is great.

For those that got the Switch version of Doom Eternal, how are you enjoying it so far? I'm having a good time - I'm playing the Extra Lives mode on the easiest difficulty (I figure that I beat it on the normal difficulty on PC, and it's not like playing on easy mode prevents you from unlocking things), so I can't really comment on the performance when things get hectic, but the controls seem easier to remember than they were on PC.

If I had to honestly say: in spite of all the deconfirmations and false leaks/rumours that have torn through Slayer speculation, it's always art like the following that continues to inspire some ounce of hope for his inclusion:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

doomguywhen1993 · Dec 26, 2020

That is a great drawing.
Speaking of Doom related news, i saw the G FUEL: Limon Pepino MegaHeal article on Slayer's Club, so that was all that's new unless i didn't bring up Hugo Martin doing a series of stream playthroughs of Eternal with commentary.
I also like finding Doom related stuff to see if anyone could be interested.
One reason being to make something more "centralized", because there was a Tumblr blog that used to post Doom related news about content that is no longer active, called Inmost-Dens.
We're also near the end of the year, so maybe this could be my last post doing this before 2021.

Megadoomer · Dec 27, 2020

I'm nearing the end of the Switch version of Doom Eternal (I've unlocked the Unmaykr and have reached the endgame missions). Admittedly, I'm playing on Extra Life mode on the lowest difficulty, so I can't comment on how it performs when there's a ton of enemies on-screen, but so far, the only issues that I've had are relatively minor - some lighting/graphical glitches in a courtyard in Taras Nabad (some of the scenery kept flickering black for a few moments), and two encounters that didn't fully trigger. (one, in the Mars Core, kept summoning an endless wave of fodder enemies until I went to a certain spot that spawned the larger ones, while another, in the ARC Complex, didn't register as cleared, so I didn't get that weapon point - no matter where I went, I couldn't find whatever enemies they wanted me to kill)

No issues with noticeable slowdown in my entire run so far, unlike in the Switch port of Doom (2016), where there were one or two moments where it slowed down dramatically (especially just before the first trip to Hell). I'm enjoying this revisit, and I'm finding it a lot easier to keep track of the controls in the Switch version. (not sure if it was my screen, or me not being as used to a mouse and keyboard for games, but I felt like the controls weren't as visible in the PC version)

Takasmash · Dec 28, 2020

I think Doom Slayer was post to be the character reveal in the Game Awards who thinks the same way there were so many hints and Doom Anniversary? Maybe he's the next challenger that will start off the year of 2021. Nintendo probably held Doom Slayer because it might be very obviously predictable.
Sephiroth was chosen instead just been thinking about it after talking to my friend he bring up good point about Doom Slayer. We talk about the the last three fighters rumor on Christmas not my idea.

Anyone else here own Doom 64 on the Switch? I've tried to play the game, but whenever I start the game, the room for the first level constantly spins around and my character is barely able to move. Is this a common glitch?

I played a good chunk of levels so far, and never encountered such a glitch.

Are your joy cons ok?

I'm using my Wavebird controller, which the Switch picks up as a Pro Controller. It worked just fine for Doom, Doom 2, and Eternal for the most part apart from using the Meathook for the boss fight against Khan.

Edit: it appears that the sensitivity towards the Joycons in the settings may or may not have been the culprit as the game is working fine now

PublicServant · Dec 29, 2020

OK, so I recently wrote up an entire reveal trailer for the Doom Slayer on The Forest Maze (Papagenos' server) because a guy thought it'd be smart to accredit Bethesda-flipping-Softworks in the end-of-trailer copyright blurb instead of id Software.

So enjoy, I guess.

The trailer begins at the front entrance of the fallen Sentinel city of Taras Nabad, accompanied by the forlorn instrumentation of The Betrayer. At the foot of the gates stand three figures - Samus, Sephiroth and Luigi, the latter armed with his Poltergust G-00.

The gate grinds open for the fighters, startling Luigi and causing him to cower behind Sephiroth's, though he quickly regains composure and the three make their entrance into the abandoned city. Shots fade in and out as the trio pass through various hallways and courtyards, including the chamber containing the Divinity Machine.

In the sewers, Luigi becomes distracted by a purple glow from doorway flanked by two wolves, which sees him wander off from the other two. Entering the room, he bears witness of a strange, fleshy mound with a purple portal emanating from it.

As the plumber tentatively approaches the Gore Nest, a distant growl startles him into accidentally activating his Poltergust on full blast.

The trailer cuts back to Samus and Sephiroth, who have now reached the throne room. While Samus is scanning for threats, Sephiroth takes his time to stride around the room with fervent zeal, seating himself upon the throne as if to relish in its visceral decadence.

Cutting back to Luigi as he attempts to regain control of the wayward vacuum head, it ends up getting stuck on the heart of the gore nest and, in his efforts to pull it free, he inadvertently tears the heart off with a gory discretion shot. Standing up in a daze, Luigi observes the heart dislodged in the heat of his Poltergust before quickly fleeing in terror, the Gore Nest releasing an ear-piercing screech as the room is cast in the demonic red glow of several energy vortexes. The music now begins to pick up with the Light Combat Variation of Meathook...

Back in the throne room, Sam and Seph are startled as a shadowy figure begins darting around the room, moving between shadows and the lowered platforms surrounding the throne room. As Sephiroth rises from the throne and unsheaths the Masamune to join Samus in the search, he fails to catch sight of a flaming, horned skull rising from the pit behind him.

An ear-piercing screech sees Sephiroth turn towards the Lost Soul, allowing the creature to impact the One-Winged Angel smack-dab in the chest and staggering him. Samus, still peering over the edge for the figure, whips around to witness the commotion.

The shot pans from behind her to reveal Sephiroth standing a short distance away, his wing unfurled and staring her down with a flaming red glow in his eyes...

Sephiroth leaps high into the air, Masamune angled downwards to perform "that technique" on Samus. As the Bounty Hunter raises her gun to defend herself, she lowers her guard and shields her vision from a blinding light that begins shining from the broken ceiling, casting Sephiroth as a silhouette...

Only for the music to abruptly cut off as Sephiroth is impaled in the back by a large claw attached to a chain, which pulls up a heavily armoured, humanoid silhouette to him. The figure raises its left arm as a serrated blade extends from its wrist and, with a single sweeping strike, slices off Sephiroth's wing before blasting him into the surrounding abyss with a double-barrel shotgun in his opposite hand, which the chain-attached claw has since retracted into.

Samus regains her composure and and raises her Arm Cannon at the figure, still obscured by the now-dying light and with Sephiroth's severed wing in its left hand.

The figure then throws the wing away in a shower of black feathers, the light fading to reveal none other than the Doom Slayer, reloading the Super Shotgun in a swift motion.

With SSG locked and loaded, he raises the Diabolical Musket in one-hand and aims it at Samus;

DOOM SLAYER
TEARS THROUGH THE HORDE

Before either of the two godlike warriors fire their weapons, loud banging is heard from a pair of doors at the opposite end of the throne room. The two turn their aim to the doors, only for Luigi to burst through them in a wild panic, running past the supersoldiers to cowering behind the throne. The music kicks into Meathook's intro as the Slayer retracts the Doomblade, exchanging his SSG for the Combat Shotgun and equipping its Stickybomb Launcher mod.

From beyond the door, an enormous horde of Zombie Soldiers, Imps, Gargoyles, Hell Nobles, Cacodemons and Arachnotrons begin pouring into a long corridor, barrelling towards the throne room in a frenzied rage. The two supersoldiers (and Luigi) raise their weapons against the demonic horde, the shot panning to a close-up of the Slayer cocking the Combat Shotgun in time with the last two beats of Meathook before the drop:

Cue an immediate cut to the Slayer in-game, viciously tearing through the Smash roster with his varied arsenal from Eternal. Some highlights include:

Shadow Moses Island: Dark Pit deploying his Guardian Orbitars, only for the Slayer to fire a Heat Blast from his Plasma Rifle that pierces the Orbitars and damage Dark Pit anyways.
Norfair: The Slayer nailing a jetpacking Dedede with an Arbalest bolt from the Ballista.
The Great Cave Offensive: Sephiroth, Bowser and Ganondorf attempting to flee the Slayer, only for Ganon (the slowest of the bunch) to get struck by the Meathook, which sees the Slayer pulled to the Demon King before fatally SSG-blasting him into an overhead damage zone.
Final Destination: Bayonetta attempting to recover from offstage via Witch Twist, only to end up on the receiving end of a remotely-detonated rocket fired downwards from the Slayer's Paingiver Rocket Launcher. While both are caught in the blast, the Slayer is sent airborne whereas Bayo is spiked into oblivion.
Gaur Plain: The Slayer crouching on the left side of the stage, looking on as Isabelle and a Bunny-hooded Daisy bounce around. From the right side, Lucas PK-Freezes the latter two, only for the Slayer to "thaw" them with the Flame Belch before gunning for the now-fleeing Lucas.
Smashville: A showcase of the Slayer's Final Smash - BFG-9000. Equipping the eponymous weapons, the Slayer fires a signature green energy ball into a group of fighters; Bowser, Ganondorf, Bayonetta, Ridley and Sephiroth. Tendrils extend from the ball, immobilising and damaging the fighters within its vicinity. The ball impacts Sephiroth, which launches all the fighters offstage at great velocity (Sephiroth moreso than the others).

Smash cut back to trailer footage, the trio manages to mop up the remaining few demons. Samus even nails a Cacodemon in the throat with a Rocket, which detonates and explosively inflates the monocular meatball's stomach in a comical manner before it plummets into the abyss. With the demons defeated, a blue swirling Slipgate opens up in front of the throne, which the Slayer wordlessly walks through. Looking at each other with a shrug, Samus and Luigi tentatively follow the Slayer through the portal.

The three now find themselves on the BFG10K platform on Phobos, right at the front entrance of the massive superweapon. The door begins to open as it did in the Doom Eternal prerelease gameplay trailer, with shots cutting between different angles of three figures behind the door; armed missile pods on a sled, a four-barrelled rocket launcher winding up, and an ignited Argent Axe being dragged across the floor.

The final shot pans back to unveil the figures: a Doom Hunter, a Tyrant, and a Marauder. The Only Thing They Fear Is You begins playing as the Slayer draws his Crucible, ignites it, and raises it as the Marauder does the same.

Just as the two blades are swung and strike each other, the riff drops and the trailer cuts to the stage showcase.

What follows is a supercut of the stage - Unholy Crusade - showcasing the Slayer and other fighters battling it out across Doom Eternal's various backdrops, including:

Fortress of Doom: The Bridge of the space station.
Cultist Base: One of the exterior arenas from the first third of the level.
Mars Core: The arena right in front of the entrance to the BFG 10K.
Nekravol Part 1: The entrance of the Soul Factory, next to the chained, lava-crying Titan.
Urdak: The Khan Maykr's arena. The Khan herself may fly onto the arena and attack the fighters much like in her boss fight, firing off energy pillars/projectiles and setting the floor alight with energy.

Alongside these shots is a showcase of the two main gimmicks of the stage:

Respawning explosive barrels - self-explanatory.
Demon spawns - Heavy or Super-Heavy Demons from Eternal are summoned onto the stage to harass the other fighters, their threat escalating with their type; Prowlers and Cacodemons are punching bags, Marauders and Tyrants can be downright boss-tier fights.

The trailer ends on the second boss arena of Final Sin with the escalating cries of "RIP! AND! TEAR!" accompanied with an aggressive drumbeat. The towering, goat-headed visage of the Icon of Sin rushes in from the darkness and slams its fist on the ground, immediately cutting to the Smash logo.

That's a great reveal trailer! I also wrote one for Forest Maze. It's not as detailed as yours but I'll still post it.

Next smash trailer starts:
Luigi is still a ghost due to the events of Simon's trailer, he's adventuring through what he doesn't know is hell.
Same things that happened in the Simon occur trailer but with Imps, Cacodemons, Revenants, etc
Luigi then stumbles upon a Baron of Hell which attempts to attack Luigi
A gunshot is heard and the demon drops dead
A voice saying "The Slayer has entered the facility" is heard
DOOM SLAYER RAISES HELL
Shows off gameplay with E1M1 remix playing
Ends with the Slayer and Luigi both entered a portal, presumably back to his base in Doom Eternal

Best tweet of the year so far:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Happy New Horizons, everyone!

What's interesting about those tweets is that if i'm not mistaken, the Doomguy Nendoroid may have already arrived.
Also, happy new year.

I guess I should go ahead and voice my support for Doomguy. Doom was basically the father of the FPS genre and has tons of Nintendo history. I don't think many characters are more deserving.

Admittedly, I'm playing on Extra Life mode on the lowest difficulty, so I can't comment on how it performs when there's a ton of enemies on-screen...

Difficulties don't change the amount of demons, only their aggressiveness, damage they deal, and the amounts of resources gained.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. How is Fall Guys able to namedrop Doom in a trailer and not have an ESRB M-rating included while Smash Ultimate trailers and demonstrations post Joker have been too nervous to namedrop any M-rated games they get new content from?

The primary focus of this trailer is to demonstrate Doom content, while those Sakurai presentations aren't primarily about Assassin's Creed/Fallout/No More Heroes content, so they go through the extra trouble of getting the okay from the ESRB to feature an M-rated game's name in an E-rated game's trailer.

I remember when someone did fanart of Fall Guys Doom costumes based off Eternal's Slayer and the classic Cacodemon, so that fanartist got at least that like 30% right or something?
I remember AmuscariaArts (Behind Hell-Forged) also doing Doom in Fall Guys art, with the Imp and Revenant.

Generally speaking, M-rated game titles are fully acknowledged in Ultimate's English version strictly when they have a proper fighter.

That being said, this Fall Guys event is further proof that Doom's popularity is in no danger of fading away even if it doesn't get into Smash.

I think that’s a good sign that Doom content is possible in Smash.

ESRB likely readjusted their policies again regarding that. Probably after seeing what Nintendo had to do to get around it with the Mii Costumes lol.

Can only mean good things for potential Doom content in Smash.
