Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[DanganZilla5]

I don't doubt that he wasn't lying, I just don't follow his logic.





So I got baited into watching this video thinking it was a mashinima (meaning Kazuya had dropped), but it's actually a (hilarious) normal animation.

I enjoyed this way too much. The animation is so clean though the person should do more of this stuff.

 

[Inferno7]

Was a second Sonic character ever even considered previously? I can't seem to recall.

As in confirmed? No, there's no way to know, but it's hard to think they didn't at least glance at the idea given how many requests they have received over the years and with how recognizable the brand is. Not to mention this is the one game that opened the doors for second 3rd party reps from the same franchise, and Sonic in particular just happens to be the one with the most support in this regard.

 

[MarioRaccoon]

I'm guessing that if these two "mystery spots" on the update menu are promotional spirits, they're going to be particularly rough ones if the Mii costumes are any indication. (though hopefully one of them is like the Ghosts 'n' Goblins spirit, where the game in question isn't full price)

Dante and Dragonborn spirits

So Sakurai can hurt us more

 

[Megadoomer]

Dante and Dragonborn spirits

So Sakurai can hurt us more

I'd be fine with that, seeing as we already can assume that they won't be getting into the game. It's really unfortunate (Dante was one of my most-wanted), though hopefully they've got a good chance at making it in next time.

Sure, the next game won't be bringing back every veteran, in all likelihood, but as long as we still get Dante vs. Bayonetta, I'll live with it - I feel like the Sega, Namco, and Capcom characters are pretty much locked in for the foreseeable future, at least as long as Namco's working on the next game. (if they aren't, I don't know how likely it is that Kazuya and Pac-Man will return, though the two companies are pretty close so I could still see it happening)

 

[GilTheGreat19]

If Crash and Spyro got spirit events, many would me MMMAAAAADDDD

 

[Aerospherology]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Kritter]

Crash is one of my most wanted, but even I would laugh if we get a Mii Costume, not based off of the real Crash but based off of the Crash costume guy from the ads.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

He's 4th party, so his chances are automatically killed, but imagine..

I said IMAGINE

If GoldenEye 007 James goddamn Bond was the final character as a nod to Nintendo trying to include him in Melee

 

[SNEKeater]

I don't think they're gonna go out of their way and do spirit events until CP11 solely to disconfirm popular characters to let fans know.

They will probably stick to what they've done until now: spirit events if they feel like adding certain series or games to Smash to increase the "crossover" and/or take advantage of new game releases and do some easy cross-promotion.

Since people were talking about DDLC, I just wanna say that it would be the funniest thing to me if it got any content in Smash.

Not simply because of the game, but also because not only would PM have died for this, but its "killer" would be getting actual recognition by Nintendo.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Kazuya isn't even out yet. How was he datamined?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

SMTV man seems like a very real, and very exciting possibility.

True
Like I said hours ago, Minus Cuphead (and excluding the Lotus spirit, especially Warframe as a whole didn't get a spirit event dedicated to itself) no western game series has ever gotten its own spirit event... : (

 

[Polan]

drop the dang update already

hmm is there something pointing at this

 

[GilTheGreat19]

inb4 SMT III gets a spirit event

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Just timing and how much they've been pushing the game. Honestly though I'd say the timing makes him impossible.

 

[3BitSaurus]

Yeah, pretty much just Cuphead. I'm particularly surprised at how there's no Undertale Spirits, especially because in theory it would be way easier to negotiate with one dude than a whole company.

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Going to say Ninja Gaiden and SMT3.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

and THATS why Frisk is a frontrunner for CP11 imo

and I am looking forward to being wrong

 

[AreJay25]

Maintenance has begun, time to start mashing the A button over and over again

 

[Idon]

I'm excited that people are finally taking SMT seriously as a contender for a DLC smash character and I'm not just shouting into the void.

Now all I have to do is be afraid of every other Tuesday potentially killing its chances with an SMT3 spirit event

 

[Mushroomguy12]

****ed up that neither Panda or Kuma will use Banjo for the Spirit battle, since we have yet to have DLC characters in spirit boards that aren't their own.

Looks like he found another bear....

Translation is:

Kazuya, #SmashBrosSP But confront the panda !? If you look closely, it was a strange bear.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

9:00 PM EST!

Enjoy Kazuya, everyone! : D

“You are using the latest version of this software.”

oh come ONNNNNNNN

 

[Twilord]

Anyone else a little concerned that if Waluigi actually does get in as the last characters its basically guaranteed that his highest profile supporters will be the victims of serious cyber attacks.

Unlike other "you didn't deserve this" characters, in Waluigi's case it would legitimately be the case that the people who vocally pushed them were directly the cause of them getting in over Crash or Master Chief or others.

If you're a Waluigi fan, take it from someone who had close friends cyber-stalked due to 'The Grinch Leak' (and who could themselves have been dragged into it for the same dumb reason) - get a VPN sorted out now.

 

[Polan]

WHERE'S THAT DAMN CHAOS UPDATE

 

[Technomage]

“You are using the latest version of this software.”

[Deleted member]

Yuo guys havent gotten the update yet? Im almost done downloading lol.

Edit: And it's Kazuya time!

Couldn't help but notice that you've been a dedicated Ike main since Brawl
If we got the SMTV dude would you insta main? 0_0

 

[Technomage]

Oooooh, mine's downloading, too! ^^

 

[Momotsuki]

Mine has now started downloading as well! Here's a helpful tip; try rebooting your Switch if it still doesn't download for you!

 

[PLATINUM7]

Finally downloading Kazuya

At this point, with the odds of another Bandai Namco character in the dumps, I kinda hope you get it.

If we can't have a Digimon beat up Pokémon, at least we can have a Demon do it.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

POGGERS

IM IN BOIS

KAZ IS DOWNLOADING RN

 

[Technomage]

This is ironic: While I was getting impatient waiting for the time to download Kazuya beginning, I am feeling quite patient with waiting for the download to finish itself, now that it's already starting.

 

[SKX31]

And I got it too!

Here's an image of Kazuya's moveset for anyone looking to try him out in Classic or elsewhere (credit to DMHOProtectionAgency on Reddit):

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Yay I got it to download!


Can't wait to finally play at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Brawlhalla!

 

[SneakyLink]

No promo spirits. I wonder what those 2 spots are for then?
