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

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

So.... Any chance of Lloyd Irving?

He isn't deconfirmed, but he is unlikely.

 

[Burruni]

So I see we are still believeing rumors now are we?

You mean like the same quality of rumors that Shovel Knight is getting in that you were making firm stances with? Glass houses.

And we're not believing them outright, but discussing what they would actually mean if true.

So.... Any chance of Lloyd Irving?

Fairly low popularity 3rd party character from a two-game story in a larger series who was last seen before Brawl got finished and has been made into a Mii costume?

I mean, there's people in worse positions but he certainly isn't likely.

 

[Wolfie557]

Lloyd support is pretty rare imo.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Lloyd Irving support at one point was bigger than Pac-Man, there's a sizable amount of people who want him in.

To be fair, most people were afraid we'd get the Ghostly Adventures design

As was Geno's.

And they've gone similar ways.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not entirely true. Lloyd actually got something in the game

 

[Untamed]

I don't really want Lloyd, obviously he wouldn't play the same, but I just don't want another sword based character.

Raise your shields.

There's a reason swords are the most commonly used weapon in media. Almost everyone loves em

Here comes the lecture... "it's how you use it!"

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

"Another sword based character."

That's racist!

*ding*

Spoiler

Sorry mates, couldn't resist.

 

[Untamed]

I actually meant to say he wouldn't play the same as the other sword characters, but I don't want another sword based character.

Whoops lol

Top 5 3rd party:
1. Banjo-Kazooie
2. Bomberman
3. Bayonetta
4. Geno
5. Snake

Swords are for sissies, stuff like clubs, axes, and obviously every sort of explosives and artillery have much more style tbh.

Whoops lol

People should already understand that it is a given that characters using the same weapon would fight differently.

But you can still reach something more radically different by incorporating a different weapon and fighting style.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I have never played a Tales game but at least Lloyd has a cool design. Plus twin swords are freaking awesome. Not twin daggers *cough* pit *cough* but swords.

I don't know if the guy has anything else but from what I understand flashy moves are his thing so there must be something to work with. . . right?

I did, but other people already replied to the un-edited version, and if other people wanted to reply to what I said, they'll probably see the people replying to the un-edited version, and assume that's what I meant.

I'm starting to doubt it, Shovel Knight just seems like a very unrealistic choice for Smash Bros as of now.

*Implying Ike is anything but tied as manliest character in Smash*
kek

 

[PKFreeze89]

Shovelware Knight does not deserve to get in. We have plenty of first party characters and other third parties that could be a more interesting addition than that thing.

 

[Burruni]

How about a man who uses his non-dominant hand for his axes the entire game until you get his ultimate weapon and DUNKS!

Hector for Smash

I dunno about tied when your competition is...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Hector seems more fitting of Ike's moveset than Ike

He would be manlier if he wielded a cannon.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He would be manlier if he wielded a cannon.

Ike is a most likely gay nuke that can beat his game by himself. Nothing manlier

 

[Burruni]

What we need.
Is not your typical hero or villain.
We need a protagonist who is evil.
A conqueror, someone who will kill and claim for his ever growing kingdom.
An overlord, boasting an arsenal of weapons and infernal power.
If only we had a...
No wait, I got it.

(Disgaea, despite being an almost exclusively sony series, had the first game ported to DS. Totally viable)

 

[RouffWestie]

He would be manlier if he wielded a kannon.

Fix'd it Felix

 

[NintenZ]

Burruni , so yeah, I realized how silly Shovel Knight being in Smash sounded, I'm sorry but guest characters have to have something special, and Shovel Knight doesn't.

What makes you think Ike is gay? His friendship with Soren?

 

[Yellowlord]

Well guys; I get the feeling that a Direct may not happen today. However, the maintenance that is planned for next week has to be foreshadowing something, obviously. Just another weekend, guys, and we'll get something.

THE SUSPENCE IS KILLING ME!!!

Ike's sister is crying because they no longer have a memento of their mother. Ike tells her to quit bawling
Soren starts crying for no reason. Ike offers a shoulder. Fire Emblem has had Ho Yay and I saw a long and detailed post to why Ike could be gay

 

[IndigoSSB]

Maintenance Hype

How long does maintenance usually take, is four hours long enough to actually mean anything? I saw it but I wasn't expecting anything because I thought this was routine.

Obviously it won't happen today lol. That had to have been announced in advance.

I've never seen a maintenance that was 4 hours long and took down literally EVERYTHING. People's theories on it being because of the eShop leaks is possible, but I don't think its the case, because this had to have been planned well in advance. If anything its for the Club Nintendo replacement, which is a huge thing.

Huh... I always saw Ike as somebody who wasn't interested in romance at all.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He clearly isn't interested in women. Kinda like Raven and Lucius really, only paired ending is with another guy. See guys! Smash is authorized by Tumblr!
