Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Will]

Not seriously.

I just bring it up because the very mention of a Pokémon makes people squirm, and it amuses me.

Watch us be in for the long haul as Baboom actually does win.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

just like how kazuya isn’t red but has a red background and no the gloves don’t count

or just like how Terry’s background is blue even though he’s got no blue on him

or how byleth is green when they have no green on them

or how sephiroth‘a is a greyish black when he’s neither of those.

Yes they do. Also his eye glows red.

His jeans are blue.

His minor out of context spoiler alt is where this came from. The colors aren't always from the default costume; just the canonical ones.

It's a slate green, which was taken from his eyes.

 

[N3ON]

Don't fret, the purple thing would only be interesting up until the excitement wore off and people realized it was another guessing game.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

So while I'm here and this purple thing has blown over, what's the community talking about these days anyway?

I feel like nothing has come up to change or shake up anything so my assumption has been that Smash speculation stagnated hard and is pretty much the same as it was pre-Kazuya. Are there any new characters that pop up more often than they used to or any popular theories or anything?

Not that I need an excuse to get back into talking about Smash daily... it's been pretty nice not having that distraction.

Capcom has been taken out completely aside from Phoenix.

Nohohobimo has terrorized us.

Most of us are facing the truth we won’t get our mw.

And literally nothing on the official side is happening.

So, in conclusion. Its going pretty good

 

[Shroob]

Don't fret, the purple thing would only be interesting up until the excitement wore off and people realized it was another guessing game.

Tbh we were already getting bored and devolving into memes less than an hour afterwards.

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

Nothing beats playing Veigar top, getting a lot of stacks because the enemy Champion is melee and can't fight back mages in lane, then ganking other lanes and getting so fed, E > W > Q kills anything except tanks.

Ngl, getting fed as mage champs is one of the best feelings I've experienced in League.

When I played League of Legends, I think my best moment with Veigar was this:

My teammates were AFK and I was the only one playing. The enemy team was reaching towards my team's base through mid-lane, and when they came in sight I SINGLE HANDEDLY fended off ALL OF THEM AT ONCE.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Don't fret, the purple thing would only be interesting up until the excitement wore off and people realized it was another guessing game.

Oh yeah, this is definitely the best case scenario.

 

[Ivander]

Someone say the color purple?

I can't believe CP11 is Nei Phantasy Star

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Waiting for 7NATOR’s essay on the color purple now

It's a good movie.

Can we get a tier list of Smash Ultimate rumors/leaks and all that? I'm feeling Skull Kid Chair Theory is an S Tier for sure.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

In which we get Shadow as a Bayonetta 3 rep reborn anew

I mean, I did make a Smash Ultimate leak/theory/rumor iceberg several months ago...

 

[Theguy123]

"This example does not count because it makes my argument look bad" isn't especially convincing, especially as Terry does indeed wear blue

ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhh, I forgot Terry’s pants were blue. My bad

Grinch leak is S tier.

That **** was hilarious don’t deny it.

Iceberg memes are so first-half 2021. Then again tier lists on basically everything are pretty 2020

 

[Metal Shop X]

I hate to be that guy, but someone gotta control the rails of Smash Speculation before it blows up on their faces.

So this code mentioned here belongs to a file that can still be found on the eShop called td.min.js, which is part of a SDK (Software Development Kit) used by the eShop. This file is not exclusive to the Smash pages, you can also find it in any of the DLC pages by inspecting the page (for example, I looked at the Blazblue DLC page here and it still was there, with no differences. Link here: https://ec.nintendo.com/NZ/en/aocs/70050000018001), clicking sources and looking for cdn.treasuredata.com. There, you'll find the file which has the mention of these six colors and they are the exact same ones.

The reason people fell for this is because the colors sounded too similar to the ones used by the pass, but this is nothing more than a coincidence because:

1. This belongs to a single SDK file that is used by the entire eShop, not just the Smash pages
2. The eShop uses PNGs, so no hard coded color would be there. Not only that, but all pages use a gold background which has nothing to do with Smash's website

returns to lurking

Wait, so...

All the purple jokes we made along the way were wrong?!....

There is only sadness & sandness in my heart now.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

On that subject: Are there people still thinking Gen 8 is getting in? Haven't heard people suggesting it since maybe Pyra/Mythra.

I don't think so. At this point The Pokémon Company has already moved on from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, so if we were to get a new Pokémon character it would likely be from Pokémon Legends Arceus or the remakes.

...

This is how Growlithe wins.

The fact it got half the name right is the insane part

"haha Baboom win"
actual name still has "boom" in it

Oh is that where Baboom came from? People told me it was its name in a different language but...it isn't.

 

[Will]

Grinch leak is S tier.

That **** was hilarious don’t deny it.

It's even funnier because no one ****ing knows who made it. Not a single soul. And they just wanted to throw the mother****ing Grinch in there.

I hope we never find out.

Baboom is Baboom

And Baboom will win

Baboom, always wins.


Always.

 

[Schnee117]

Nah it was a fake Smash leak.
The "Rillaboom's Portuguese name" bit was people joking around

Just speaking for myself, but I'm inclined to believe that the final fighter will be either a first party promotional selection or one of the third parties that still has a strong selection of characters that hasn't returned in this pass (Sega, Capcom, Konami). The latter especially I think has potential as a real dark horse choice, given how much they've gone all in on the Switch in Japan, even managing the second best-selling third party game there behind MH Rises.

 

[MooMew64]

Always.

The one truth of Smash.

Perhaps, the universe itself.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Nah I mean like was it just a guess at what its name would actually be or was it just a typo?

 

[GilTheGreat19]

In which we get Shadow as a Bayonetta 3 rep reborn anew

I don’t know if the world is ready for Shadow dancing to remixed Frank Sinatra songs and blasting guns while making himself look hot af

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Considering we don't have Edelgard and Phoenix Wright in the first pass, it's absolutely a guess

 

[Shroob]

100% sure there's already a fanfic of it.

 

[FreeFox]

Wait, so...

There is only sadness & sandness in my heart now.

Maybe, the real purple was the speculation we made along the way.....

 

[Will]

I hope we never find out.

Some dude on 4chan claimed to be him but you know...



The only person on 4chan I trust is the guy who actually leaked Piranha Plant.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

100% sure there's already a fanfic of it.

Go find one right now, you won’t

 

[Shroob]

Go find one right now, you won’t

Is this a challenge?


I would but I'd probably be banned on post by the staff cause god knows where it'd be hosted.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Considering we don't have Edelgard and Phoenix Wright in the first pass, it's absolutely a guess

No I mean the name. Like, was Rillaboom's name public knowledge at the time or did they just type it incorrectly for whatever reason?

 

[GilTheGreat19]

LMAOO but oh boy what a way to go

 

[Shroob]

No I mean the name. Like, was Rillaboom's name public knowledge at the time or did they just type it incorrectly for whatever reason?

No


Bottom text. We had no idea what Rillaboom was.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

No I mean the name. Like, was Rillaboom's name public knowledge at the time or did they just type it incorrectly for whatever reason?

Oh, nope, SwoShi details hadn't started leaking until like a month or two before launch whereas the Baboom post was from before E3

 

[WahHahaha]

Of course, right when this gets debunked is when it starts to spread on twitter.

https://twitter.com/mickey_smash/status/1429470909241327625

Oh no.. I really hope this doesn't start to become widespread.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

This is how Growlithe wins.

Whelp, now the idea is in my brain so get ready for the Growlithe posting.

Didn't expect the final fighter to cater to me and only me but here we are.

 

[Will]

This was fun, but the fun has died down and I got nothing to contribute with. I'll peep you guys whenever they announce Amingo.

 

[2006ToyotaTacoma]

Can we get a tier list of Smash Ultimate rumors/leaks and all that? I'm feeling Skull Kid Chair Theory is an S Tier for sure.

Grinch Leak and Cacomallow should be S Tier imo
