Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Rie Sonomura]

epicmartin7 remember a few months back when you were going to try making modded spirit battles?

have you by chance been able to make progress on Itsuki Aoi and his Carnage Form? I think I requested some other TMS characters that weren’t Tsubasa as well

it STILL bothers me that she’s the only spirit from that game… not even the protagonist…

 

[Theguy123]

The amount of people here who unironically think that tournies matter when it comes to character chances is genuinely concerning, since it's been proven time and time again that they don't matter at all.

"This tourney's theme clashes with a potential character so they can't happen!"

No it just means that the character will release with a completely different tourney theme lol.

i agree but I personally do think the fire tournament and the decade tournaments hold ground but yeah I genuinely agree with what you’re saying

 

[Gengar84]

I’m calling it now. The last character is Scorpion so he can kill both the Fire tournament and the Fighting game event.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Here’s the leak. i’ve attached the random 4chan leak you wanted to see.

Nice to see Layton games get attention in a fake leak finally

I’m still waiting for anyone to remember that Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy exist .

If Evil Trapezium can meme Timesplitters to have an actual new game coming out, I'm sure you could with Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy.

Smash in-game modders

do your thing

Smash in-game modders

do your thing

I would be really surprised if this wasn’t already a thing. I just seem like the perfect fit lol.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

What would your reaction be in the hypothetical scenario where the last DLC character ended up being Asuka from Senran Kagura?

 

[Momotsuki]

Duck Hunt actually has barely any skins currently. This here is certainly not one of them, and the four they do have aren't really that good besides one...
I've wanted to make a quality one at some point. Though my skins tend to be a little more out-there.

 

[Sucumbio]

What would your reaction be in the hypothetical scenario where the last DLC character ended up being Asuka from Senran Kagura?

"Who? -google adventures Begin- ohhh one of those ...... Cool! More Funimation to binge while learning this new character."

Something along those lines.

(Actually now that it's mentioned the anime frenzy will no doubt begin anyway... Just in case )

Mai was robbed

Indie World time

Ah yes, our true Kingdom Hearts rep.

 

[kylexv]

Indie World was about what I expected. Some pretty good looking games shown off. The Metal Slug Tactics game has me a little bit interested, and seeing the Shovel Knight franchise grow is always nice.

Also no Silksong...obviously. That game doesn't exist and the entire internet collectively hallucinated it.

 

[SNEKeater]

Metal Slug Tactics looks amazing.

 

[FreeFox]

I was kind of hoping for more info on House of the dead but I will take what I can get.

The true Dark Horse for Smash DLC

But seriously, I love Celeste so much, and Madeline would be a great character.

Celeste is a phenomenal game, one of the best indie games I've ever played. The soundtrack, the level design, the story... 10/10 game.

Madeline as a playable character is not going to happen but I'd totally take a Mii costume, specially a "Premium" one. I'd pay in blood if they chose this track to come with the costume:

Or maybe this one:

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

That was an enjoyable Indie. Axiom Verge 2 is gonna be great and that new Metal Slug looks good. Loop Hero also looks interesting.

I can’t wait to play Silksong next decade.

Next decade? Try next century at this rate lmao

So after thinking about it, I think the last fighter is either a battering wielder like a sword, lance, axe, club, etc. or a gunner.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

So we’ve got

• Two (three?) sword users (Sephiroth and Pyra/Mythra)
• Two fist fighters (Min Min and Kazuya)
• One “specialist” (Steve/Alex)

kinda sus we don’t have a gunner…

I mean....Fighter Pass 1 didn't have a gunner...unless Joker's Gun, Banjo using Kazooie to shoot out eggs, and Byleth with Failnaught somehow count.

• Two (three?) sword users (Sephiroth and Pyra/Mythra)
• Two fist fighters (Min Min and Kazuya)
• One “specialist” (Steve/Alex)

kinda sus we don’t have a gunner…

and from the first pass, we have for the ones for the most normal attacks
3 sword users (Hero, Byleth, and Joker since he uses a knife mostly)
and 2 brawlers (Banjo and Terry)
So a gunner is most likely. But the battering wielder is still in the cards. If we do get an event tourney about one of them, then that one is out and the fighter will be either a batter or a gunner

Oh. Thanks for reminding me about them! I've been actually going back and forth focusing on different modding projects. Such as Chrome Dino and such.

So the spirit stuff kind of went on the back burner by accident.

However, funnily enough, since then, the modding scene has made progress with the ability to add ui in-game. So the primitive workaround I was using isn't necessary anymore. So I'll probably just wait until ui addition is released to continue with adding spirits.

this is where Layton steps in with the coin gun. Jokes aside and putting bias for Layton aside it would be nice to get a gun user of any sort. Even a FPS character. Who do you think would be a good fit for a gunner character if the last spot was one.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Is a gunner
Game of origin is recognized in the World Video Game Hall Of Fame
Has been speculated on for over 2 years
Company of ownership has Smash content


Ah yes..
It's time

Spoiler: The man himself

 

[DarthEnderX]

Disbelief.

It ruiend Cross tag, it doesn't need to ruin smash next

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

(Actually now that it's mentioned the anime frenzy will no doubt begin anyway... Just in case )

You have no idea how right you are…

 

[Gengar84]

So I think the most likely gunners are probably Bill Rizer, Master Chief, Doomguy, Tracer, Elma, and Vincent Valentine. Do Mega Man characters count as gunners?

 

[Guynamednelson]

A proper Zero moveset shouldn't have that much gunning.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Vincent Valentine

I doubt he'd happen
Dude got spirit'd in Sephiroth's wave

I agree with your other choices especially Tracer

 

[Gengar84]

I doubt he'd happen

Yeah I’m kind of doubting him too but I was struggling to come up with other choices and I love the character lol. I’ll replace him with Joanna Dark and Lara Croft.

I think Joanna is very underrated for Smash. We even had a Perfect Dark item in Melee.

believing No more after FP2 is propaganda ...

I believe these tournies generally point to more characters like the born in the 2010s reminds me of Ahri and Paya

 

[Ivander]

I mean, if we're counting Elma who uses both Duel Guns and Duel Swords, Phantasy Star Online 2 does have a couple classes that uses both swords and guns, like the Hero and Phantom.
