Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[MattX20]

Did a quick search and apparently the game was originally intended for a 2019 release...could this be one of our missing spirit events?

fits Thirst Theory

.....okay what the **** is Thirst Theory?

.....okay what the **** is Thirst Theory?

It's a joke theory, if the Pac emote didn't make it clear.

Just look at our current Volume 2 picks, with the Aegis and 2 shirtless dudes. I'll let you figure out the rest of the joke.

Yeah but they chose Min-Min over Twintelle so the theory falls flat

Wasn't Min Min the reason for the LEGS meme tho? I remember people even made shirts.

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

As a fighting game nerd I’m gonna scream given how little support Capcom has been showing the FGC compared to how much they used to.

The same. I DON'T CARE ABOUT MONSTER HUNTER AND HOW MANY TIMES IT'S BEEN MILKED TO DEATH! I WANT A NEW RIVAL SCHOOLS OR DARKSTALKERS GAME!

.....okay what the **** is Thirst Theory?

It's a theory revolving around adding characters that appeal to the thirst of the audience.

For example, a lot of people wanted Pepsiman to be added and view him as one of the prime candidates of the theory, because when they're thirsty, nothing's better than a can of delicious soda to quench their thirst on a hot day.

Don't have to worry about Spongebob as he's without a doubt the face of Nickelodeon (No Surprise) so gonna be expecting the most representation from that cartoon, We got Patrick and Sandy, But Here's hoping for other characters like Squidward and Mr. Krabs.

- CatDog (CatDog)

- Ren & Stimpy (Ren & Stimpy Show)

First off, the fact we can make these Top 3s now is wild to me...

Secondly, CatDog and Ren & Stimpy seem to have been leaked by the boxart.

Well, we already do have one character from Ren & Stimpy. Maybe they will get in?
They also already showed Spongebob.

Honestly, it seems verrrrry similar to Nicktoons Racing roster.

Sadly, I'm not sure you're gonna see Doug characters, since Doug is owned by Disney now.

Oh, I am pretty sure I won't. I was surprised to see Doug on Paramount+ with the other Nicktoons.

But, who knows? Maybe they will pull a Banjo & Kazooie.

Oh, well then i see your Pepsiman and i raise you with the greatest Soda Mascot: Fido Dido

How friendly are Disney and Viacom?

 

[Phoenix Douchebag]

How friendly are Disney and Viacom?

as friendly as Twitter is towards anyone..................which is to say, no.

 

[pupNapoleon]

How friendly are Disney and Viacom?

I have no idea- but I'm assuming they are mortal enemies.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Wasn't Min Min the reason for the LEGS meme tho? I remember people even made shirts.

I wouldn't be surprised, but her gimmick is that she literally uses her legs to kick, so I can't imagine it was all people who wanted ramen.

EDIT: And if we must use that angle Twintelle is the one who is like 1/3 legs so...

 

[pupNapoleon]

I always want Ramen when I see Min Min.

 

[perfectchaos83]

I'm pretty happy to see Sakuna get something in Smash. Never thought it had a chance in hell to get a playable character, but it's nice all the same.

I love it when they shout out more obscure games like this.

Game sold over a million copies. It's not something I'd call obscure.

 

[cashregister9]

It's more obscure than Monster Hunter or Mario, that is what I was getting at.

 

[pupNapoleon]

And Sakuna of Rice and Ruin is deconfirmed. Unfortunate for the very few people who wanted a character from this game.

The bottom 2 might be confirmed for this game going off the box art.

Where did you see the box art?

I don't expect either of them because I don't think that Microsoft would double dip in the pass.

Doom Slayer/ Bethesda was not publicly a part of Microsoft at the time of character choosing.

Game sold over a million copies. It's not something I'd call obscure.

And if it were Fire Emblem, it would warrant two characters. Since 2 million sales is apparently 'great' and warrants 3 characters.

Ultra wastes no time

There was a problem fetching the tweet

[Spirit event] "Rice is power! Amaho no Sakunahime" will be held for 5 days from 7/16 (Friday)! During the period, 3 new spirits of "Amaho no Sakunahime" will appear. Please check it! #Smash Bros SP

That's awesome, this game has an amazing art style.

3 more. So that brings us to 1490 Spirits. Just 10 more until the 1.5K mark!

Well there's almost no chance TWEWYN doesn't end up getting a spirit event down the line so there's a few more before FP11 even shows up.

Did a quick search and apparently the game was originally intended for a 2019 release...could this be one of our missing spirit events?

It could've been delayed since last year maybe, but a game such as that being planned to get content before it even released would be very strange.

 

[ARandomZoomer]

Here's hoping ChalkZone content shows up in the Nick game.
I mean new spirits for smash. Very good!

 

[perfectchaos83]

It's more obscure than Monster Hunter or Mario, that is what I was getting at.

So is 80% of the roster and it's a bad metric to use.

 

[MarioRaccoon]

Neo TWEWY, Metroid Dead and Shin Megami Tensei V (if its protagonist doesn’t become CP11) can be our final spirit events (with new spirits). Maybe also No More Heroes 3.

Don’t know how far they will continue adding new spirits, I read somewhere that its speculated they will do it until end february 2022. Its possible that we will get a Legends Arceus spirit event (if a Pokémon isn’t CP11).

 

[SpecterFlower]

wait is that nickelodeon smash clone made by Ludosity??

 

[N3ON]

My priorities for Smash these days are such that despite not having gotten around to downloading Kazuya yet I will hop on to grab these Sakuna spirits lol.

 

[ChunkySlugger72]

Can make out the some of them and happy to see that CatDog and Ren & Stimpy are in though I was expecting them to make the cut, Though more so the latter.

Feeling good about getting "Rocko's Modern Life" representation, So really not too worried about Rocko.

Would also like to see Dag & Norbert (Angry Beavers) and my choice for "Semi-Obscure" pick would probably have to go to Jenny XJ-9 (My Life as a Teenage Robot).

 

[CommanderZaktan]

3 more. So that brings us to 1490 Spirits. Just 10 more until the 1.5K mark!

The last fighter with the last DLC spirit board will reach that mark.

At this point, I just really hope Rocko's in. lol. I'll probably get it if he is.

Jenny would also be neat too.

 

[MattX20]

The save data for the demo for MH Stories 2 should be enough to get the spirit, right?

 

[cashregister9]

So is 80% of the roster and it's a bad metric to use.

My whole point was considering the fact that our last 2 spirit events were MonHun and Mario it's nice to see something that is more obscure, That is all I was trying to say.

Dope, I just heard SwitchUp talking about this one the other day. I never heard about it until now, but it looks charming as all hell. Might have to give it a buy.

But of course, that's his Final Smash.

I hope he plays more like Pokemon Trainer, myself...

 

[WahHahaha]

I think it's safer that way, PSASBR tried to be innovative and it backfired hard

Not in my opinion, I actually kind of liked that game.

I'm not saying that ripping off a genre is bad, it's what all games have done. Every fighting game has been a ripoff of the first fighting game, every shooter has been a ripoff of the first shooter, all I was saying is that it would be great if they'd make it a little more different so they can add to the genre instead of literally copying Smash.

 

[BlondeLombax]

• lowkey third party
• more popular in Japan than the west (I think, not sure)
• probably has a sword
• fits Thirst Theory

It's all coming together.

Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get your hopes up
Don’t get your hopes up

Spoiler

Y’all are really just playing hackey-sack with my emotions now.

 

[Arctiq]

How frequent are these spirit events? I'm curious how many more there could be until fighter 11

Not very frequent. They just happen at seemingly random.

1992年のきょう『マリオペイント』(Mario Paint)発売!!
スーパーファミコンのソフトにマウスを同梱し､お絵かきや音楽､ハエたたきで楽しめる作品｡

"Mario Paint" released today in 1992 !! A work that includes a mouse in the software of Super Nintendo and can be enjoyed by drawing, music, and fly swatter. It's a mouse that many people use until now, but it was an era that wasn't common at that time. It was an era such as MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. #Smash Bros SP

開発用環境とは言えど､アシストなどを自在に配置するなどはできなくて…
この写真､ハエたたきとハエが画面に入りつつ､真横に14(日付)が揃うという､極めてレアな偶然の上で撮られています｡

Although it is a development environment, it is not possible to arrange assists etc. freely ... This photo was taken on an extremely rare coincidence, with a fly swatter and a fly swatter entering the screen, with 14 (dates) aligned right next to it.
