Official DLC Character Discussion Thread - Read the new sticky/announcement

[NonSpecificGuy]

Oh I dont want Koonami in smash they are super worst than Capcom.

Oh ok. So, your not particularly against Snake, just Konami in general?

I ask because multiple other fan favorite characters are from Konami. Including Bomberman, Simon Belmont, and others.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Why do I get this reference lol

Bongo Bongo: "Bring the kiddies. They are so looking forward to exploring my Shadow Temple."

 

[DustyPumpkin]

Granbull is so overrated. Why not a good fairy like the fabulous Aromatisse?

Excuse you?
Slurpuff is so much better

I heard someone found all of the dlc characters to be released

Spoiler

No Brash the Bear?

Sorry Brash, but Dixie managed to beat your record again. Thus making you completely ineligible to be in Smash.


One a side note, why does that silly old bear has his own support thread again? Unless he's one of those characters relevant because of a running gag of some sort.

 

[A Distant Demon]

running gag

Hit the nail right on the head. It's a joke Azure is determined to never let die. It's at least only isolated to Smashboards.

I still say DK series icon was a better joke.

Have I stated that Ashley's the AT I want promoted to fighter the second most?

Because gosh durnit she's the best expansion for Wario's two series at this point.

Personally, I'd much rather have Mona, but Ashley IS a very, VERY close second on my Wario rep want list.

Just be glad that you didn't check out the things he post on YouTube. Ever since the day he used the Feature Length face as his avatar, he started acting like a completely different person just to entertain the Nintendo fanbase (even to the point where people miss him having that as his avatar when he picks a new one). Dong jokes, lots and lots of dong jokes.

So more or less, he takes the most popular thing and runs with it until it becomes a part of his identity like most meme yanks. See, even as his love I can see through his flaws like a book. At least I actually be myself on Google+ instead of fishing for laughs.

Well. it does fit in line with all those leaked eShop games. Would be a good time for a Direct considering that TPHD is a thing.

Why you do this? That was completely uncalled for and chances are that they will see for themselves later. ;_;

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

The thing that bugs me about Ashley is that while she's a fan favorite she wasn't introduced into the Warioware series until the 4th installment, same goes for Isabelle with Animal Crossing. They're both fan favorites, but Jimmy T. and Tom Nook are more important to their series in general, so who do you go for, the more important/prominent character, or the popular choice?

 

[Wolfie557]

I think we can all agree that the 2-repped Starfox, DK and Metroid franchises need a new character in Smash.

But if only one could be added as DLC, which series would you like to get the upgrade & why?

Metroid because i love ridley beyond all else thta isnt viridi.

If it has to be anyone else (as much as i like Dark Samus) i would probably pick DK. Dixie and k rool are both great options and i dont care much for wolf or krystal (i do like slippy though)

F-Zero too... Earthbound has two reps and it's more dead than F-Zero

Star Fox. Wolf and Krystal are my number one and two choices for DLC. Ridley would be amazing to see, but I don't know who would be the second pick. Sylux or Dark Samus maybe? As for King K. Rool and Dixie Kong, I have no attachment or liking towards them.

Is this going to be Rosalina VS Peach again? I'd prefer Ashley because everyone loves her and magic. I'd rather have magic than disco. Disco died ages ago. I agree Tom Nook would be better than Isabelle, but only because I want to see Tom Nook bust some kneecaps

I'd like the pirate girl.

Though I don't think Wario is in a huge need for a new rep.

DK. Because I feel it needs more representation more than Metroid and Star Fox.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Reminder for like the twelve-billionth time that we play characters not reps. <3
and that reps and repping is a stupid idea over-inflated by this fanbase.

Captain Syrup was in Wario Land, not happening. ****ing shoulder bash being removed...

Which franchise needs another character? You said new so that's not Wolf. As much as love Metroid and think it's superior to DK, unless I get to choose the character, it's gonna be DK. It's one of Nintendo's best sellers yet it has pretty much nothing

 

[RosaPeach]

I wont mind Snake back but I need Rayman first.

 

[The Light Music Club]

If Wario gets another character I think we will see Ashley in the next game. She, Mona, and Jimmy T make the most sense, I think she has the best chance because she was chosen over the others for an AT.

 

[Wolfie557]

I actually think Snake was added to Smash too early. IMO, he should be after Megaman & Pacman however if that was to happen and this Konami thing would still happen, he may not have been put into Sm4sh either so IDK.

I wouldn't mind Snake before Rayman, but I want Rayman more. Here's my top 3rd party choices in order.

5.Dragon Quest Hero or Slime
4.Snake
3.Rayman
2.Bayonetta
1.Shantae

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

My Top 3rd parties:
1. Black Mage
2. Bomberman
3. Rayman
4. Snake
5. Agumon (mainly because of childhood, when Digimon was my favorite show)

 

[Schnee117]

Third party wants
1. Snake
2. Kefka
3. Nightmare
4. Dr Eggman
5. Rayman

DK is the one most in need from those in my viewpoint, so I'd give it them.

Spoiler: Reasoning

I mean, on one hand you have a fanbase (DK) that's bought over 70 million copies of your games, they got a new stage, and three returning ones, but nothing character wise, on the other hand you've got Fire Emblem that bought around 15-16 million copies, whom got a fully unique character, a clone, a returning veteran (semi-clone) two new stages, and one returning stage. I don't think sales are the end all be all, but it just kind of feels wrong to me that they essentially gave the Fire Emblem fanbase this awesome, super cool, V.I.P. service and this absolutely gigantic fanbase that's partially the reason (Donkey Kong on the Arcade and Country games) Nintendo's so successful gets practically nothing in the character department. I don't know, it just feels kind of mean to the DK fanbase to keep them waiting any longer, not that I don't feel like Metroid and Star Fox are deserving, but I feel like DK being as iconic as it is just really, really needs it at this point.

Out of curiosity, how long do you guys and gals think it is too the next piece of Smash news? A day, a week, two weeks, a month, Smash U's release date, the Holidays, or even later?

All things considered, I doubt it. This has probably been planned for a long time, they probably barely know about the leaks yet, and even if they did, they don't have time to figure out how people got the data. This is probably something else they've had planned for some time already.


I could be wrong, but I highly doubt they can have that quick of a turnover rate on this kind of thing.

I think we can all agree that the 2-repped Starfox, DK and Metroid franchises need a new character in Smash.

DK hands down, no questions asked. 5th best selling real Nintendo franchise, 6th if you count the fad Mii games from the Wii generation. Massive popularity and sales dating back to the SNES games. The Donkey Kong games were pretty good as well and is what brought Nintendo into the limelight, but DKC is the real start of the DK IP. And Returns revived DKC to a total of 6m in one single game, with the 3DS remake/port receiving 1.68m, which in of itself means that the port even sold more than the saviors of the Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus IP's. And Returns alone sold more than the entire Metroid Prime Trilogy.


Future DKC and DK games will likely gradually bring back the rest of the DKC characters and animal buddies, and DK has quite the extended cast.

Donkey Kong.

Then Metroid...

And then Star Fox.

Found a new poll! Vote for who you voted for.
http://aianmoo16.com/2015/10/15/poll-smash-ballot/


Also, I never really answered my own question. I would also say Donkey Kong, because it's a really recognizable series and I have 2 obvious characters that I'd like to be included in the game. (Dixie + K.Rool if you somehow don't know XD)

 

[Burruni]

So, what's everyone's new reasoning for the drought of news?

I've got a new favorite.
