So... Speculation for Smash 6 for Super Nintendo Switch begins uh.

Not a fan of Sora but I got almost everyone I wanted already and it's undoubtedly a fantastic pic. I just hoped we got Mickey, Donald and Goofy in his final smash since Sakurai teased us so much by not showing it right away.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

If I had come to the smashboards forum a year earlier I would have been completely right in my prediction because I started out predicting SMT V protag but I changed that prediction when the Mario theme parks popped up to Sora before going back to Nahobino after E3, this isn’t about upset being wrong.

This is just the worst possible outcome(worse than Jonesy)and I am legitimately worried about Nintendo now.

Uh huh, yeah. Predicted Sora the whole time. Sure thing.

That picture of the destroyed computer is fake.

Guess the guy must have been trolling or something then.

Usually, when you get a sketchy 4Chan leak with info that could be real, a lot of coincidences
that look like they may tie into a character but I’m actually are just pure luck, and people overhyping themselves into oblivion, it doesn’t end well.

But Sakurai’s a miracle worker.

i honestly can't believe legit or not

that post was right lol

 

[N3ON]

Actually hilarious that they can show this, but if they simply got rid of the word "Slayer", they couldn't. xD

The word slayer is keeping this E10.

 

[Calane]

Well, wasn't THAT a great finisher to Smash Ultimate! Sora looks awesome! I don't really post on Smashboards anymore, but I wanted to jump back in particularly to say congratulations to Nekoo and tehponycorn.

Spoiler: Erdrick and Sora - By Nekoo

Looks like this awesome drawing Nekoo did actually came true, lol. I'm glad you guys finally got Sora!

Also, congrats to all the Kingdom Hearts/Sora fans out there in general! He looks rad, and even though I've only been able to play 2 KH games (Re:Coded and Dream Drop Distance), I quite like the series myself and am glad to see Sora join Smash! What a great way to end things.

You don't even seem to realise that the theme parks are in direct competition with Disney and one of the reasons some people thought this would never happen. (But luckily, money conquers all)

So I'm not sure anyone will lose sleep over not taking your "expert advice". SMT will do absolutely fine and meet all corporate expectations.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Holy **** I’ve got so many drawing ideas from this

In every picture you draw of Sora in smash, draw me, nekoo, ponycorn and Moomew all crying from happines

 

[Noipoi]

I dunno what you guys are talking about. Donald and Goofy are right here!

Spoiler

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Or carry on

 

[waddledeeonredyoshi]

I'm happy for all the Kingdom Hearts fans and think Sakurai has done a phenomenal job with this game and all...

But we didn't get an Among Us costume so basically it's 0/10 presentation, sorry guys.

I honestly can't tell if this is concern trolling or not, but if the fate of a game's success rested on that character getting into Smash, it wouldn't have been greenlit in the first place. Smash is ancillary, and SMT got to five fine on their own so far.

 

[Z25]

Walmart Music theory? I don't remember that.

A few days ago, Walmart started adding Simple and Clean to their store playlists. People who supported the leak proposed the idea this was sly marketing on Disney's part in regards to the final fighter, since they've played other Disney tracks in relation to current events or products. I could totally see this being why now.

Usually, when you get a sketchy 4Chan leak with info that could be real, a lot of coincidences
that look like they may tie into a character but actually are just pure luck, and people overhyping themselves into oblivion, it doesn’t end well.

But Sakurai’s a miracle worker.

Listen people argued about the date, but like I said, if your bull ****ting a date, you don't pick October when September and December were everyone's predictions.

You also don't give yourself a story that actually explains why you knew this info. Not to mention, these presentations are filmed 3 months out usually. Which lined up perfectly for the leak.

It was to many "coincidences" for it to be fake imo.

View attachment 333279Uh huh, yeah. Predicted Sora the whole time. Sure thing.

I actually did.

I am pretty sure it was on one of my YouTube accounts that YouTube deleted, but it is still there in cyberspace.

But that post is not about me being right or wrong, it is about my worst fears coming true. Nintendo is compromised like all of the other gaming companies.

Sora is not going to keep Smash Ultimate alive and he will eventually doom the franchise.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

T'is a beautiful day.

So that's where they were:

Just like Ryu and Cloud got everyone to drop Smash for PS4s, and the series has suffered to survive since.

 

[Staarih]

Doesn't seem like those tweets from Sakurai adressed to his Japanese audience really had any deeper meaning after all lol.

 

[GillyGrime]

This game couldn't have ended more perfectly. What a ride. Number one requested character. I've never played Kingdom Hearts and I was dizzy with hype. Everyone is Here, Ridley and K Rool, Joker, Banjo, Steve, Sephiroth. What a ride.

Yup, absolutely spot on. You’ve cracked the code no one else has. Sora might be the final Smash character, but the only Big Shot here is you.

Just out of curiosity, would you like me to add “Smash is doomed” to your list of other predictions? Since their so infamously great and all?

 

[Mamboo07]

I thought Bayonetta was the one who won the ballot back in Smash 4?

 

[N3ON]

Doesn't seem like those tweets from Sakurai adressed to his Japanese audience really had any deeper meaning after all lol.

I think they did, it was just the opposite of what we expected.

Because if you're telling the audience they might not recognize the character, and then you add literally the most popular character from the ballot, you're straight up trolling.

 

[Z25]

Bruh,

Sora the literal most requested character is going to doom the franchise?

What in the hell is that logic, lmao

 

[Ivander]

So....

When are we getting our edited version of "Don't forget. You're here forever."?

 

[Deleted member]

Now, I don't play Kingdom Hearts,

But even I agree that this was a great way to end Smash Ultimate!

Congrats to all the Sora fans for sticking it out to the end despite all the "evidence" pointing against it.

 

[Sigran101]

Perfect ending. I'm so ****ing happy.

 

[pupNapoleon]

We can spoil Metroid Dread in other threads related to Smash, but commmented about a reaction in a reaction thread needs a spoiler???

 

[Jondolio]

Congratulations to Sora fans!

Not a character I was personally invested in or thought would get in (I thought the "leaks" were bad omens for him, to be honest) but I had many friends who wanted him and he's definitely earned his place. Gameplay wise, though, he looks... kinda broken?

Also I was anti-Doomguy so that Mii costume appealed to my mean streak.

 

[Z25]

I thought Bayonetta was the one who won the ballot back in Smash 4?

No, she got third in most regions around the world, and was scattered across other placements. They said back then, she was chosen because she was the most reasonable inclusion out of the ballot choices.

Since they would not have had the time or efforts to get Sora at the time.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

What a wild ride.

 

[Aerospherology]

GG to Sora fans

 

[N3ON]

I thought Bayonetta was the one who won the ballot back in Smash 4?

She won in the way someone wins a fixed election, yes.

 

[Mamboo07]

Looks like the Doom Slayer/Isabelle memes are now real and canon.

 

[Z25]

Also my meme almost came true:

 

[subterrestrial]

I thought Bayonetta was the one who won the ballot back in Smash 4?

gotta love the hard confirmation from sakurai himself that bayo didn’t get the number 1 most ballot votes out of all videogame character…like of course she didn’t

knew she was a blatant promo pick since the start
