Cross and not Jibanyan? I'm a little surprised.

Edit:
Give me a hat to eat if we get any third parties besides Ryu and maybe Snake as DLC.

EDIT: Who is that in the bottom right?
It's the default look for Cross, the avatar unit for Xenoblade X... who, from what I've seen, has noticably less impact on the story than Elma in his game or Robin in Awakening.

Yeah, that does seem like quite a lot of DLC characters. If it were like that, it would most likely span over a course of 2-3 years and it would take away from other DLC content like stages and modes.

TBH, the only veterans that are requested enough to be brought back in addition to Mewtwo and Lucas are Wolf, Roy, Ice Climbers, and Snake. Other than those 6 characters, DLC should have more of a focus on newcomers like Isaac, Andy (plz make it happen Mash Potato Samurai!), and a bunch of other new characters.

Speaking of DLC other than characters, what do you guys think the chances are of seeing the following?

- DLC Stages? (Other than Miiverse)
- DLC Modes? (Adventure, Subspace, Tournament, etc...)
- DLC Custom Moves? (For DLC characters)
- DLC Assist Trophies?
- DLC Pokemon? (From the Poke Ball item)
- DLC Items?
- DLC Challenges?
- DLC Trophies? (Other than the ones for DLC characters)
- DLC Masterpieces?
- DLC Event Matches?

DLC stages are practicaly guaranteed already.

I'll put my flag in DLC, at best, being Mewtwo/Lucas/Ryu/Roy/Wolf/Chorus Kids and K. Rool/Isaac/Inkling.

First six are pre-planned, last three are from the ballot. 60 characters if you count individual Mii Fighters.

A peculiarly large list, any reason as to why it is so big? I mean we'll probably have DLC running for maybe throughout the following year, but that's a whole lot for the one character every two months we have going right now.

Stages are a good idea, more music and variety to play on
Modes have been confirmed, Tourney mode also counts
Custom moves for the DLC characters shouldn't have to be bought separately, that's just greedy
if AT DLC happens Isaac will likely have his chance stolen, not to mention I doubt it'lll happen
I doubt this would really happen either
See above
Wouldn't this be in a patch like Hyrule Warriors did?
Unless someone wants to get the 700 trophy challenge I see no appeal
Who even likes Masterpieces?
Until Hungry Hungry Kirby and Fitness Freak are cleared with the special requirements, then no

I promise to eat a hat if Chorus Men genuinely get in.

Or three bow ties, which is more appropriate.
For once, it's not Chorus Kids.

Honestly, I don't get why people go 'CHOWUS KIDZ FO SMEHS' as they were only called kids in Gematsu, not to mention their English name is Glee Club. And best of all...Aren't there more iconic characters in RH to represent the franchise?

I honestly don't know if there are more iconic characters for RH:

Marshall is inarguably the mascot host...but of a singular RH game.
Rhythm Wrestler has become an internet hit, but he is but a singular minigame within a singular game in the series.
Karate Joe has been in every single game and is a fighter to boot, but he's not as popular and his design is a little unmemorable.
Rhythm Monkey was considered important enough to get a hat in Miiplaza and is notably in many of the mini games...but some don't think he's memorable enough comparing him more to the Fronks from Warioware.
Beat Girl maybe?

Legitimately, there's only three real "more iconic" choices for Rhythm Heaven... as it was pre "The Best +" if you ask me. Karate Joe & Slice Samurai who were in all 3 games and Marshal who shared similar design from the fairly iconic Glee Club and was the "MC" for the show, being both the one who opens the game with Rhythm Trio Tester and ends it with Night Walk. I REALLY wish he reprised his role for TB+ instead of Terubii

Ill take the safest bet here and say if ridley gets in ill eat my shoe, your shoe and a 5 dollar bill :troll:
I would still feel safer saying I'd eat Layton's hat if he got in to be honest.

Saying anything in regards to Ridley automatically makes me not feel safe. :p

I'd rather have a Rhythm Heaven stage with Wrestler as an AT that makes everyone "Pose for the fans"(taunt) than have an actual RH character personally.

That would be an amazing AT though.

Nintendo/Koei Tecmo just announced Hyrule Warriors 3DS (New 3DS exclusive?) with Tetra and the King of Red Lions being new playable characters. Buying the 3DS version will allow you to use them in the Wii U version too:


Posting because I know Tetra has a Smash following, and this is kinda big for the character.

Fantastic! My most wanted character is at least going to be in Hyrule Warriors. I feel like they're just dumping every single Zelda character people want for Smash into this game to appease the fans. :laugh:

Yes... all but the Skull Kid fans. :troll:

I jest... but I am just glad they are finally adding Toon Zelda characters. Tetra and King Hyrule... so awesome!!!

That said... I kinda wish Nintendo saved this information for next week at E3 2015... that would create even more hype, you know?

I really want Nintendo and Koei Tecmo to make Hyrule Warriors 2... with new locations like Koholint Island, Holodrum, Labrynna, Lorule, Great Sea, and Termina... and with new characters like Farore, Nayru, Din, Vaati, Skull Kid, Onox, Veran, Twinrova, Alfonzo, Oshus, Linebeck, Marin, and Yuga... and new rideable animals in addition to Epona like Ricky (the kangaroo), Moosh (the flying bear), Dimitri (the friendly Dodongo).

Why do I have a feeling we'll get at least a stage based off of Rhythm Heaven? To be honest I wouldn't mind it, just have this feeling if we don't get someone from Rhytmn Heaven as a playable DLC character we'd at least get a DLC stage from it. And you know what, I'll be fine with that. Rhythm Heaven needs at least some kind of representation outside from trophies.

Prediction Roster before the direct:
Be honest, is this really a prediction list, or just some fantasy you want to come true?

Because if you seriously predict we're getting 18 DLC characters, every single veteran from previous Smash games, 5 3rd Parties, etc., you have to be either insane or extremely clueless.

I think we all want that, or even just more Dynasty Warriors X Nintendo franchise in general. They mentioned that they would like to do a Mario or Smash one.

I personally would love either, because that means Rosalina could be in it and since she's LITERALLY a character they can give any power to and it would make sense, they could go CRAAAAZY with her.
