Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Will]

y'all really wanna buy a red turtle shell for a hat? like, you wanna spend three american quarters on that plus tax?

 

[cashregister9]

Lets talk archetypes. Have you noticed we dont have many Mage or Spellcaster type characters? I only have counted 3. 4 if you consider Hero's gimmick.

I wonder who could fill this archetype. Tricky because no popular character fits this

Jaina Proudmoore from Warcraft

She is mainly an Ice Mage and is one of the more important characters in the franchise

 

[Faso115]

Oh btw the characters i meant were Robin, Palutena and Zelda,

Then i remembered Ness and Lucas exists though they are more like psychics. But i guess they still fit the mold. So 6-7, pretty alright all things considered

Still better than wasting over $1000 for a waifu in a gacha game.

We've spent ten american quarters plus tax on horse armor, and you know what? It just worked.

Vivi or Terra if Sephiroth didn't just get in.

EDIT: Also Arle from Puyo

I think you guys are just built different. But in like, a bad way.

Well Ashley was pretty popular before her Assist Trophy got confirmed. She'd be a good fit in future games.

 

[SharkLord]

Indeed she does! Ahri is a Burst Mage, in League, meaning you're supposed to chain multiple abilities when engaging an enemy to deal massive damage, which she can also make use of through her mobility. Though she, like most mages in the game, is a bit of a glass cannon as a result.

About Reimu: didn't she have more of a rushdown playstyle in the Touhou fighting games? Grazing was a mechanic there too, right?

I feel like Reimu would draw more from the shooters rather than the fighters, at least in terms of playstyle. I could see her using some of the animations from the fighters, but overall she'd probably be more focused on translating the mechanics of the mainline games.

Either way, I'm not sure if Reimu's talismans and gohei really fit with the mage archetype. She doesn't really feel like she fits into any archetype, at least note one that I can think of.

 

[Will]

I honestly have no clue how Reimu would play honestly, I can imagine some bullet hell sorcery, maybe have some of those bullets have no hitsun like Fox's laser, but occasionally have some more powerful shots inbetween. Just a swarm damage type of character, perhaps.

But just like Mega Man I would assume she'd lose to bucket to Bounce super hard, so gotta throw in some normal non-projectile attacks.

 

[cothero]

Speaking of archetypes, i think the only one missing at this point is of a FPS character. Snake is the closest thing to it, being a character of a stealth/third-person shooter franchise. We got mages, platform game characters, slashers, RPG's, fighting game characters, 3d platform, open world (steve), etc. What else is missing?

We don't have a character from a Horror game, unless you count Castlevania for some reason

puzzle?

Had the perfect candidates for it too.

we don't got anyone from rhythm games yet wink wink

 

[RileyXY1]

puzzle?

Dr. Mario technically counts.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

puzzle?

Dr. Mario technically is one, but he's a clone and all. In terms of actual puzzle reps, I wouldn't mind these ones.

 

[3BitSaurus]

puzzle?

We might as well not have any rn, because doesn't use any puzzle mechanics in his playstyle - it's pretty much aesthetics-only, and even then it's very little.

 

[RouffWestie]

puzzle?

Dr. Luigi isn’t a spirit yet. and Dr. Mario World is a potential title Nintendo may want to promote.
It could happen.

Visual Novel and Horror are two that come to mind.
My most wanted for each are actually from Capcom. Phoenix for VN and Leon or Jill for Horror.

is from a first-person game where you shoot, although I somehow doubt that's what you meant.

 

[cothero]

You're right, it's missing. Castlevania doesn't count as horror though.

We need a Resident Evil rep, RIGHT NOW!

 

[SirBillyBob]

Did someone say horror rep?

Isaac ain't happening but I would ascend if he did.

Visual novels, for one. Phoenix Wright usually comes to mind due to his UMvC3 pedigree, but here's one I could think of who mostly fits that bill:

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Isaac ain't happening but I would ascend if he did.

Wait he has a face?

Watch our first FPS being Tracer.

 

[Lamperouge]

Wait he has a face?

Yep, and it was first shown in the ending for the first Dead Space.

Isaac's face and mocap were provided by Gunner Wright for the sequels, though.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Isaac's face and mocap were provided by Gunner Wright for the sequels, though.

Devs: "His face looks kinda wonky, we should clean it up in the sequel."
Company: "Make him pretty for marketability!"

 

[SpecterFlower]

We don't have a rhythm rep, and it's not like Nintendo has a successful and acclaimed rhythm franchise sitting right there, no not at all.

You're right

This is how Barbara the Bat wins

obviously what I was referring to, first thing I think of when it comes to rhythm and Nintendo, truly an Icon of the genre.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

If you couldn't tell, this is sarcasm. They're actually talking about the Elite Beat Agents.

 

[Powerman293]

I had a friend suggest Sigma from the Mega Man X series would be a good addition to Smash and no I can't stop thinking about it.

 

[DarthEnderX]

This is Sunshine erasure. I bet you wanted the Galaxy Spin to replace it in Smash 4 too, you sicko.

Nope. I just want this in Smash:

The first option would be to just slap the label on them

That one. I want the label of Echo to expand to include semiclones.

 

[Mamboo07]

Had the perfect candidates for it too.

Too bad they became spirits before Min-Min got into Smash.

 

[Faso115]

You know Nintendo does co-own Fatal Frame, what if they manage to add one of the protagonists from one of the many games in that franchise? I mean, Yuri's camera does harm fighters in her assist trophy, honestly it would be a really interersting addition.

Unfortunately is not that hype and DLC is only allowed to be hype /s. A Fatal Frame character would be perfect for base.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Too bad they became spirits before Min-Min got into Smash.

Yeah.... that’s why I said “had”.

 

[SpecterFlower]

Doshin the giant for Smash

Ok but gold points tho
