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

[Cutie Gwen]

...I'm drawing a bit of a blank, Skytown?

Prime 3 area with machines everywhere, nice view, the fight against Ghor sucked though

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Ya know ya love me, hun.

Back to Smash.

What's the "new stage" you want most? For me, I'm still waiting for a proper Bowser's Castle stage.

Bowser's Castle for me too.

Usually Directs are announced before Noon. The only DIrect that I can think of that wasn't announced at that time was the 11/5 Direct last year.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Realtalk.

If we were ever to get a 4th party character in Smash... Mickey'd be best choice.

A plethora of games on Nintendo to draw things form (The Castle of Illusion era), general cartoony antics, and possibly a bit drawn from his Kingdom Hearts identity.

As much as people wanna try to push the Goku angle, Mickey's far more iconic and impactful as a character.

How about Nintendo vs Disney?
I mean actually Disney could have a really good roster, especially if you add in marvel and Star Wars. Not going to happen but it be still be fun to think about.

 

[Ura]

I can't think of the specifics of a new stage but I would really like I stage based on Golden Sun granted Isaac makes it in. Something like Venus Lighthouse would be great.

As for past stages, I want Melee stages to get some love seeing as we already had 4 N64 stages and a Brawl stage. Personally, I want to see Poke Floats, Fourside, and Rainbow Cruise to return. Poke Floats and Rainbow Cruise would be great because they're both unique, fun stages from Melee and Fourside could get in with an added Day/Night system implemented to the stage seeing as Saffron City is unlikely at this point (Fourside and Saffron City are very similar so the former getting in would be better IMO).

Saffron City and Peach's Castle (Melee) are the two stages I want to come back but incredibly doubt at this point.

That's not true at all. We've gotten one at 3 and one for Bayonetta at 6, and another one at 4ish. The time's all vary. Nintendo has yet to tweet today at all. We'll see.

Saffron City and Peach's Castle (Melee) are the two stages I want to come back but incredibly doubt at this point.

I personally think Saffron City would have been brought back at this point if that was planned so I think it's unlikely for said Stage making it in to the game. Hence why I pitched Fourside because it's very similar to Saffron City and can have an added Day/Night system in the stage. Imagine how great that would look on the Wii U.

I would much rather have Rainbow Cruise over PPC from Melee. The former is a lot more fun and would be a great addition to Sm4sH stages.

I was just talking about Directs I could remember being announced from the past year. Obviously, it's not going to be the case with all the Directs in the past.

 

[Schnee117]

Stages huh?

Returning:
New Pork City
Shadow Moses
Big Blue
Fourside

New:
Phendrana Drifts
Flying Krock

They're the Eight I want.

Replace Sora with Snake. He will please more people.

 

[Halifax?]

Well what do we think?

The End-game Tower (possible spoilers) from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn.

 

[RosaPeach]

Snake is not coming back.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Snake is not coming back.

How about we wait and see instead of making direct assumptions this early? It can backfire on you.

Like saying that King K. Rool is doomed because of the costume when there's still room to speculate.

 

[Burruni]

Well what do we think?

Snake is not coming back.

A massively-requested Veteran from a somewhat-shady company obsessed with money with their IPs for as little game development as possible is still more likely than the protagonist of a series whose rights are split between Disney and Square Enix and middling support at best.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Snake is not coming back.

And there's no way in hell we're getting all 10 of those characters in a single pack either

 

[Schnee117]

Snake is not coming back.

Cool. So where's the DeLorean at?

 

[IndigoSSB]

Snake is not coming back.

Getting Snake back is more likely than getting both Shantae and Shovel Knight in one DLC pack.

EDIT: I like how we all jumped at this guy's statement lol

 

[A Distant Demon]

Snake is not coming back.

Still likelier than Sora (as much as I love the guy)

Cool. So where's the DeLorean at?

Not where but when. Which is tomorrow.

 

[Deleted member]

Snake is not coming back.

I don't have much confidence in Snake's return, but even I'll admit that he realistically has a better chance than Sora.

Well yeah I know, I was referring to this year. One was January at 4 the other was Feb at 6.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Snake is not coming back.

He could return, and has better chance than Sora. Even if he was impossible/deconfirmed, multiple other characters will please more people than Sora.

 

[Bradli Wartooth]

The stages I'd want most would be Living Room from Chibi Robo's GCN game where you fight on the table while things go on in the background, and family members could place/remove things from the table during the fight:

or a Hollosseum from Custom Robo, which would not change outside of perhaps a destructible element. It'd really just be visually appealing with all the lights and neon. It could utilize walls and cover more than other stages, which would be reminiscent of actual Custom Robo battles:

 

[Ura]

Well what do we think?

(bashes head on table dozens of times)

We truly live in the darkest timeline.

The 2 Directs this year (excluding E3) were 1/14 and 4/1

 

[GunGunW]

I'm a much larger Mario fan than Mickey Mouse and I've heard that before but I seriously doubt it's true. Maybe it was in 1990's America among children but among the entire population of the world as a whole that's just not possible.

 

[Supersmashbrothers.]

Well what do we think?

"I need to get as much publicity as I can out of this, so here, another date"

Some people are going for Dixie or Bandana Dee (Sorry Burruni and @YoshiandToad, Ganon and CT are kinda lonely) I doubt this is real, but if it is they still have a shot.

Considering how little amount of media Mickey is getting in comparison to Mario these days, I beg to differ

 

[Kenith]

What's the "new stage" you want most? For me, I'm still waiting for a proper Bowser's Castle stage.

Bowser's Castle. Seriously. Self-explanatory. Make it just like PM.

Excitebike Arena (w/ Excitebike) - Basically it's set on an Excitebike track, every now and then bikers will race by and launch you, you can either stay on some platforms or hide under the big ramps to avoid. Retro style like Duck Hunt.

Voyage of Time - Travelling stage that swaps between rooms in the six temples of Ocarina of Time. It plays an ocarina warp song whenever it's about to transition to the next temple.
I would also take Majora's Mask's dungeons.

Saltspray Rig - My personal pick for a Splatoon stage. It's got tons of platforms to work with and even some hazards, like crates and a moving crane. You could see Inkopolis in the background since it's at sea.

 

[Burruni]

Ninty...

I don't expect Ganon to get in this time around.

I'm not truly hopeful for it.

I'm trying to just get the name out there more so that he'll have more power behind him in Smash 5. It just HELPS that with a lot of the vague terms that leakers give, he fits them. He's basically K. Rool with less popularity and being the key to a larger (in highlighting) franchise.

 

[CodeBlue_]

Well what do we think?

Why do I keep getting a gigantic wave of smugness from people like him? Maybe it's because they are pretty much "nobodies" with obvious bias proclaiming opinion as fact?

I remember Roger being waaaaay too confident about Ridley not being in the game along with the ESRB leak being real. Not even that, he seemed to directly mock people that opposed his opinion along with being overall childish and unprofessional. Didn't he cause a ****storm in the Ridley support thread pre-release because of a video (it may have been Rogers' own video opposing Ridley or Etika's pro-Ridley video)?

I really don't care if Roger is a former Nintendo employee. Even if he's right, it rubs me the wrong way. Why spoil it? You're just making people salty and ruining the surprise in the worst way possible.

He's more likely than not full of **** tho

Editor's note: I really enjoy RogersBase and his channel. He's the reason I got back into One Piece and bothered to even pick up One Punch Man.

 

[A Distant Demon]

"I need to get as much publicity as I can out of this, so here, another date"

Roger has been saying the 23rd since the beginning.

This community loves making villains out of people who didn't do ****.

 

[TheDarkKnightNoivern]

Well what do we think?

You're telling me that we're getting a direct for a game that came out 5 months ago? And if it is real he just gave away the character after all this vague teasing?

I'm calling bull****

 

[pmilkosky]

What does it matter?

Your statements were "but I'm willing to bet that more people know what game Banjo is from than what game Roy is from," and "Wolf's origins has to be known more so than Roy, if not I'll eat my shoe."

Roy's origins and the game Roy is from, is Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I meant his Fire Emblem game, which explains who he is as a character and his background, which should have been obvious ... Why did I even register on these forums

I wouldn't be surprised with another Splatoon Direct considering how much Nintendo's been pushing it

Roy is a stoic wimp who's only notable for being in a fighting game. Perfect

 

[The Light Music Club]

Roger also tweeted : "Honestly very surprised that we didn’t hear anything big from Nintendo yesterday or today. Starting to think my source was wrong on this."

So looks like I had nothing to worry about all this time. I had a feeling that maybe their inside source was the wrong one, and that they were telling us exactly what the inside source was saying, as in lies.

This is good. Really good.

But a whole direct? Put a trailer for upcoming content in a regular direct but it doesn't need another one, there can't be that much new content coming

Here's hoping, I don't want inklings too much to begin with (For smash 4 at least) but another splatoon direct which will leave us praying for news again for the next couple months? No thank you

In terms of popularity, Mario is absolutely above Mickey Mouse. But in terms of how many people know who they are, there's just no way.

 

[CodeBlue_]

Roger seems like the person who would read a thread like this one and call us "mad" for voicing opinions against the Inklings.
