Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Noler_Mass]

the best oddball pick is the prince from katamari.

imagine if chun li gets revealed and her trailer features ken and is a direct reference to EVO most famous moment

I was going to say that it's weird to dedicate a part of a reveal trailer to the featured fighter getting absolutely destroyed by a different fighter, then I remembered that kinda happened in Sephiroth's reveal trailer already.

 

[Sophitia]

YES. the only correct answer. namuuUUuu.


I’m more referencing the trend of all three of your choices having comically large boobs haha.

Smash 100% could benefit from more females, as well as further race diversification.

To be fair, Ivy, Taki and Sophie are probably the three most popular women from Soulcalibur. It just so happens that all them of them have very large breasts...

 

[spicynun]

Okay, I know that Soulcalibur conversation finished, but if we get a Soulcalibur character, I'd want Yoshimitsu.

Question is if the series would be labeled as Tekken or Soulcalibur. Yoshimitsu first appeared in Tekken right?

 

[Sophitia]

Question is if the series would be labeled as Tekken or Soulcalibur. Yoshimitsu first appeared in Tekken right?

Yes, and there are 3 Yoshimitsu. The most popular is the Tekken one I'd say, then the one from Soulcalibur I-IV and VI, with the Yoshimitsu from SCV at the bottom.

 

[3DSNinja]

Like everything to do with SCV.

 

[SvartWolf]

1. Chosen Undead (Dark Souls)
2. Nightmare (SoulCalibur)
3. Taiko no Tatsujin

Top percentage list right there

featured fighter getting absolutely destroyed by a different fighter, then I remembered that kinda happened in Sephiroth's reveal trailer already.

Hahah top points if is not revealed to be a smash strailer and is just a recreation, but after the deed, it the announcer says "Round 2" and then we see Chun lii getting revenge in a smash like render with teh splash screen.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

And it certainly wouldn't forget you.

But does it think it can take me?

 

[SvartWolf]

Like everything to do with SCV.

I wouldnt mind they somehow managing to put viola in SCVI though...or at least her style.

 

[Commander_Alph]

If we were to assume that Lloyd (and all of the Tales series) gets the shaft, who would you say are Namco's top three remaining contenders?

For me, it's probably:

Digimon
Soul Calibur
Demon's Soul/Dark Souls

everyone have been sleeping on Digimon lately just because the series has been unnotice for awhile.

 

[GreninjaMarth]

Pyramid Head would be a really cool, unexpected character. But I’m pretty limited when it comes to Silent Hill lore; what areas from that series could work as stages?

 

[SharkLord]

They actually did that in Ken's trailer, using Little Mac as a Chun-Li stand-in.

 

[ahemtoday]

Call me crazy, but maybe Silent Hill.

Edit: Okay, Okay, I'll elaborate. The town of Silent Hill is a key part of the games, so obviously, it's somewhere there. My personal thought has always been a stage taking place on some street in Silent Hill, with the stage switching between a foggy "normal" (but not really) version and a metal, dark, rusty even-freakier version. In any case, I can't really see the stage being called anything other than Silent Hill.

 

[spicynun]

It would be cool to have as a horror rep. I've only played SH2 and SH3 but the hospital from SH2 would be a cool stage that can switch to the Otherworld version. Or maybe just the town itself with the fog and everything. I adore the game's soundtrack so that would be the biggest win in my book in getting Pyramid Head.

 

[cothero]

3rd Strike music please and thank you. 3rd Strike is the best Street Fighter. I'll say it. One of those GOAT Dreamcast games.

Agree. Third Strike is the best SF game BY FAR. It's a shame how they just focused on SF2 music in smash, SF3 has some really nice jams.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Call me crazy, but maybe Silent Hill.

Most franchises aren't named after their setting, so the question is more valid than you'd expect knowing the answer.

 

[Commander_Alph]

Pyramid Head would be a really cool, unexpected character. But I’m pretty limited when it comes to Silent Hill lore; what areas from that series could work as stages?

Almost every area in Silent Hill is iconic, even the foggy street. But to be more specific it's probably the hospital

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

For me, it's probably:

Digimon
Soul Calibur
Demon's Soul/Dark Souls

everyone have been sleeping on Digimon lately just because the series has been unnotice for awhile.

Oh, I don't sleep on Digimon. A few don't either, but yeah, it's generally slept on.

It's probably cause of the silly notion it's a "Namco" rep, forgetting the Bandai part, combined with some not actually knowing Digimon is a game series first, just with a massively popular anime and manga(...Kind of like Pokemon. Though the Digimon anime at one point was considered better written for some, due to changing protagonists and all).

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If we were to assume that Lloyd (and all of the Tales series) gets the shaft, who would you say are Namco's top three remaining contenders?

Yuri, Don-chan and...uh...i guess Klonoa

oh, you said all of the tales series. Then only thing I can think of atm is Don chan

 

[cothero]

Y'know what? Chun-Li would be a very welcome addition in a DLC pass which clearly lacks iconic female representativity. I wanted Lara for a long time, but now her chances are very slim. Chun-Li is a huge video game icon and one of the most famous female video game characters, so she could fill that gap perfectly.

 

[CureParfait]

Now a hypothetical question.

If Chun-Li were one of the remaining fighters, which piece of songs would come with her?... More SF2 Chun-Li stage remixes? SF3, 4 and 5 songs?...

SF3 to 5 music might come most likely and probably some Street Fighter Alpha music too.

 

[cothero]

SF3 to 5 music might come most likely and probably some Street Fighter Alpha music too.

Damn! I completely forgot about SFA music.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

1. Chosen Undead (Dark Souls)
2. Nightmare (SoulCalibur)
3. Taiko no Tatsujin

lovin the Don-chan love, keep it coming

 

[Mushroomguy12]

That kind of happened in Ken’s trailer as well, though to be fair that was a dual reveal with the other reveal destroying him.

 

[Commander_Alph]

I mean we have Pacman as our "Namco" rep because it references arcade game that they made and were missing the "Bandai" rep. You know, a company that make toys like Tamagotchi which is basically the same as G&W and Digimon used to be that. Just like Cloud represent Squaresoft and Hero represent Enix?

Bandai-Namco is one company anyway. It's repping the same company either way. They're nowhere near as separate as Square and Enix are, for that matter.

But there's no doubt Pac-Man only represents a smaller part of Bandai-Namco, though it's most important one easily(the Arcade part). Representing the modern era as well as the Virtual Pet stuff is important to it too.

 

[cothero]

I just realized we would get two chinese girls in the same pass if Chun-Li got in, LOL.

Well.. not really? I guess, cause virtual pets and arcade game is virtually 2 different thing while the impact of the arcade is bigger because that is the reason for the boom of video games but virtual pets is no exception because that is the grandfather of simulation game, like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing.

That wasn't my point. My point is saying one represents Namco and one represents Bandai doesn't work when they're literally they same company.

They represent specific things within the company, but they're all Namco-Bandai content regardless.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I'm going to guess that Banjo & Kazooie would not happen without Minecraft. Minecraft being something Nintendo wanted and Phil Spencer advocating for Banjo & Kazooie was how it was possible for them to join Smash, otherwise I couldn't see Nintendo bothering.

I think Phil Spencer was the true MVP that brought the bear and bird back home. That guy deserves more credit for their return because it wouldn't have been possible without Phil's help.

I mean, Bandai specifically infamous for making toys. You could say that Bandai Namco make games AND toys. But just like you said, Pacman already represent the entire company but only a small fraction of it and as we can see it is specifically about Namco's legacy

 

[RetrogamerMax]

OMG! Imagine this in a Smash CGI trailer format:

That would be so sick.

That doesn't change any of my points.

All of them represent a part of Namco-Bandai because that's the company they're under. They just represents different factions of it, respectively. There's a lot to represent, and is still missing many things, yep.

yes, that is what I said. Pacman represent both because Bandai Namco fall under the same roof and like I said he represent the faction of classic arcade games that USED to be made by Namco and now Bandai Namco. There's a reason why all of Bandai Namco's compilation of classic games is called "Namco Museum" not "Bandai Namco Museum" it's because the ones that make them back in the day is Namco and even the music from said game is in Ultimate considering that back in the day Bandai only made toys not until they merge with Namco that they also made game. (I know it doesn't change anything so don't bother to proceed, it's just my evaluation on what I mean)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If we were to assume that Lloyd (and all of the Tales series) gets the shaft, who would you say are Namco's top three remaining contenders?

Nightmare, Yuri Lowell, and perhaps KOS-MOS.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

You know, I seem to notice that Square-Enix has two Square Soft reps being Cloud and Sephiroth and one Enix rep being Hero/the Dragon Quest protagonists. Namco-Bandai has one Namco rep being Pac-Man so when you think about it, we really don't have a true Bandai rep yet. Wouldn't Agumon be Bandai's most iconic character if I'm not wrong? Not to say the Namco-Bandai rep will be a Bandai character, but it could be.

That is exactly my point, Pacman in his purest form is a true Namco rep despite representing both and there is no pure Bandai rep.

it's either Agumon or Mametchi but the first one that I mentioned already jump into video game territory and has much more to pull from because even if you pull the moveset from the virtual pet game Digimon is still superior considering it is intended as a fighting pet.



(Edit: just realized that there is a Tamagotchi video game but it still virtually the same)

I imagine if our dual wielding sword character who rep Bandai Namco is not Lloyd but Kite from .Hack.
