Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Cutie Gwen]

Cacomallow confirmed

I'm pretty sure the leaker was right about the wrong game tho /s

I'm honestly more shocked that Fall Guys is still alive lmao.



Also that absolute garbage '100 Interesting Nintendo characters' tweet featuring Wario 2, Yoshi 2 and Pit 3 got on my timeline and I now hate people who pretend that the tweet isn't an absolute joke

 

[PeridotGX]

There was a first party roster going around, and while i like the premise it was bloated to the point that i think the message was lost (Master of Disguise Wario will not make anyone hype). Here's a more concise list of 30 cool first parties.

maybe swap Starfy for DK Jr.

Your Telling me you don't actually want Squints very very hard Tin Star the titular character from the obscure SNES game of the same name, PREPOSTEROUS

All I'm saying is that if you want to convince people that first parties can be exciting then don't scrape the bottom of the barrel with **** like Kid Icarus Uprising Multiplayer Mook. **** gives me secondhand embarassment lmao

That's a good first party line-up, even if I would personaly put a gen 5 pokemon and Hades on it.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

The only thing I see a bit lacking in that lineup is no F-Zero rep. I prefer Black Shadow or Deathborn but I’ll take anyone else too

 

[CapitaineCrash]

The worst part of that list is that despite having some really bad choices like Yarn yoshi, Disguise Wario and Koopa troopa, there's a lot of way more popular choice he forgot like Octoling, Rex and Pyra, Akira Howard, Ring fit trainer. He also put Rick Kine and Coo for Kirby rep, but not Adeleine or Dark matter or really pretty much any Kirby vilains is way more popular than Rick Kine and Coo. It seems like he just hit the bottom of the barrel for the sake of it instead of adding actually popular first parties.

Adeleine and Dark Matter were on there.

I feel like the point was including less popular ones. like they were trying to prove there are more options then the popular ones. but if that's true it's odd isaac was on there though

 

[SharkLord]

As someone who knows the guy who made the big list from Fantendo, I can say that he kinda does his own thing. He doesn't really give a %$#@ about what other think. Some of his likes are obscure, and some of his dislikes are pretty popular. I think it was more of an author appeal thing. We have a lot of author appeal things over there.

Anyways if there's anything you want to tell him I'll happily be the messenger

Does he hate Fire Emblem because it would've been really easy to include a couple more of those characters.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Second Civil War here we come!

What the **** does this even have to do with the newcomer thread? Take it to the politics section.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Tiki and Kawaii Idoru Emblem were on the list so probably not. Guess he was worried people wouldn't consider FE characters hype. Y'know, compared to such heavy hitters such as Koopa Troopa, Baby Mario, Pit Again, Wario But With A Purple Mask, Yoshi's 8th Alt and more

I think Nintendo has some new characters that should get into smash but not 100, that's how we end up with a mk8 tier roster.

 

[SharkLord]

Yeah, he's not a big Fire Emblem guy (Though he does like Tokyo Mirage). Not surprised at the lack of FE presence

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

The issue with the concept at all is that it's a pretty moot point. Tastes may be subjective, but it's a fact that the current 1st party roster is way more low key than the 3rd party one. The whole thing just goes down like:

3rd Party: We have Master Chief, and Lara Croft, and Dante, and 2B, and Crash Bandicoot, and...
Everyone: Oooooh!
1st Party: Oh yeah? Well we have Waluigi, Rex & Pyra/Mythra, and Bandana Waddle Dee! But we'll probably just add whatever shill character we've got cookin' instead...
...
Everyone: So anyway, 1st Parties are a total snooze fest.

So, you might find 1st parties hype, but you're not going to convince anyone because there's nobody to convince them with; Save for arguably Waluigi, there's nobody that even touches the majority of 3rd party candidates.

Dragalia Lost just announced that its next crossover event is with Persona 5 Strikers (after it was originally datamined). This makes Persona the fourth Smash franchise to crossover with DL, after Fire Emblem, Mega Man, and Monster Hunter.

Per the laws of Smash speculation, we must talk about this at a great length.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So what's this about Dragalia Lost?

what the **** why is it age restricted

 

[chocolatejr9]

So what's this about Dragalia Lost?

Dang it, the video is age restricted for some reason. Like I said, it's getting a crossover with Persona. Persona is in Smash, three other Smash franchises have alreasy crossed over, you can probably see what I'm getting at.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

what the **** why is it age restricted

Same reason why Sephiroth's Sakurai Presents was age restricted, probably.

 

[Will]

I missed the piercing hearts of Zelda fans when the new Spirit Board was announced but has anyone used the Koei-Tecmo association as an excuse to shill Hayabusa yet?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So how does this do for Dragalia Lost's chances in Smash? Asking since this seems to be the current discussion.

Probably zilch like every other Nintendo series doing something.

Wait, what?

If you want my opinion (though keep in mind, I'm a DL fan, so I might be a bit biased), I think all these crossovers shows that SOMEBODY at Nintendo thinks the game is worth the effort of getting them done. That would potentially bode well for a Smash spot.

Also, if you want a good old fashioned conspiracy theory, DL's next Dragalia Digest (they're kinda like Nintendo Directs, but specifically related to the game) is scheduled for March to commemorate the game's 2.5 year anniversary. You'll never guess when Amiibo Theory implies the next character will be...

Add another to the list.

Street Fighter II - Chun-Li
Super Mario Bros. - 35th anniversary ends in March
Tales - Tales rep (More likely Yuri at this point)

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Absolutely nothing. It's just a thing that happened.

I still think that Dragalia Lost needs something that can be played worldwide before they'll add it, at least for DLC.

Wait, what?

It's still age restricted. If you don't have an account you'll have to watch the European version.

Why do I feel like this'll turn into a bloodbath?

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

what the **** why is it age restricted

Something in relation to an M rated game is usually age restricted. Devil May Cry 5 trailers are age-restricted on the Devil May Cry Youtube channel.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

ruh roh

we are SO not returning to the original Direct format any time soon

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

If we get Dragalia Lost content in an actual Switch title I'll be more inclined to think better of its chances. Until then it feels like a franchise that Nintendo seems content as keeping strictly mobile oriented.

 

[Perkilator]

That’s odd; I don’t see anything about age restrictions.

Sigh...Just when you thought some areas were getting over it...


Guess the random Twitter drops will continue. Ugh.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I don't think that the Persona 5 event in Dragalia lost means a lot for Smash. Persona 5 has done so many crossover that at this point it's not that surprising. They crossover with Bang dream¸ Granblue fantasy, AFK arena, Star ocean, Another eden. They also appear in many Sega ip like Sonic forces, Catherine and Phantasy star online.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

Between the COVID spikes and Nintendo possibly preferring the more specific flow of information, I think its fairly realistic to expect much of 2021 to go the second half of 2020 (possibly even more streamlined since the company now has an infrastructure for quarantined development).

Essentially two/two and half months of semi-weekly content (Indie Directs, Partner Showcases, Pokemon presentations, Twitter drops, Sakurai Presents, franchise specific Directs) followed by a bit of silence till the cycle starts up again.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

That’s odd; I don’t see anything about age restrictions.

It is on my mobile browser

what was his shirtless alt too sexy for you YouTube?

not necessarily. Horizon Zero Dawn’s first trailer was age restricted back in the day. That game is rated T.
