Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[SKX31]

Nintendo shuts down another fan event.

God damn it. I was looking forward to seeing Knuckles played at a high level.

As an addendum to what's been said, it not only comes after people had booked flights and tickets to said event (Sandursky, Ohio) but also just a couple days before the tournament's airport shuttle ticket deadline. The competitor registration deadline was 9 days ago, and 384 people had registered for the P+ event.

It really is NoA coming off as needlessly antagonistic and damaging over mods because the P+ playerbase are not playing Ultimate - especially since whatever their plan is it's not really been working. Them being anti-PM did not stop subsuquent successor mods like Project+ from flourishing at the grassroots. Them being denied the bigger spotlight sucks.

But to shift the topic to something completely different, this little side-event recently makes me want Chell in a bit more:

It's that Nintendo seal of Quality. They are so paranoid their IP will become diluted. It's a real shame tbh. The metroid 2d Prime game is another example... The game was free to play and really quite beautiful but ah well this is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Momotsuki]

At this point they just think it's funny. Pretty upsettin'!

Reminder that Brawl doesn’t even have active online servers anymore. It came out in 2008.

This is unforgivable at this point. There’s no legitimate reason for @Nintendo to do this that doesn’t include a complete disconnect with the current culture of their consumers.

Insanity. https://t.co/2TysTTspio

Now all Nintendo needs to do is reveal challenger 11 in the next two weeks and everything will go back to normal.

Even if Chief doesn't show up for Smash, he is confirmed for donuts

How can it be an infinite donut if it's gone after you eat it?

Nintendo is a company, not a game developer. We should just comment the videos on Nintendo like are they still selling Brawl and is Nintendo Wi Fi online services still available? If not, your complaints are irrelevant. And to Nintendo fans, grow up. You will not ignore the fanbases who suffered from Nintendo's sacrifices. We need to take action, tell Nintendo to listen and support not only the fanbases, but also you. If it doesn't work, then don't buy their products unless they made up their minds and support and listen to them, even you.

He definitely has a chance to be in Power Rangers BftG now.

Weeeell not completely normal. Some of the streamers will go "oh man this character's cool" and then immediately turn around and trash talk Nintendo.

Then it will go back to normal.

This joke was probably made before but I don't care.

 

[CannonStreak]

Whoever is the final DLC character, I hope 911, or whatever emergency number you have depending on your country, is ready. We're going to need lots of whambulances for the complaining and storms that will happen.

 

[Shroob]

Only 4 more days left in the month.


Next month, everyone's going to be on pins and needles wait for the day to come eventually.

 

[Theguy123]

Wonder if fp11 will cause Twitter to crash for the wrong reasons when it’s revealed. You know, because it’s the last character all the hype will be there for the announcement.

When it ends up being a promotional pick or a character with a sword or just someone they don’t like, the anger is just gonna be 10 times worse than it usually is and will probably cause a Twitter war which will see Twitter crash.

picture the scenes. Nintendo announces a sakurai live presents to reveal the character live rather than In a direct. “Who’s it gonna be, it’s gonna be crash, it’s gonna be doom guy, it’s gonna be master chief” they all say and bam…….. it’s a sword user from a jrpg or a game that’s not our and bam……. Twitter has a field Day and crashes as the result of some very angry Twitter people

it’s Gonna be fun

I guess that means we've hit the final stretch:

"It's this week."

"It's this week."

"It's this week."

"It's this week."

"First try."

The infinite part refers to the hole.

The thing is us Nintendo fans are going to stick with Nintendo regardless of what they do because the half that don't complain are just continue on as normal and the other half that do complain are still going to stick around to play on the Switch because Nintendo's products are just too hard to ignore and the combination of their infamous droughts make any information coming from them incredibly valuable. We all want to see Nintendo do better but they have a stranglehold on the community that other company's wish they had.

I'm not going to defend NIntendo, though I have to wonder what the heck they thought was going to happen with this? Something just doesn't sit right with me on this.

In what way exactly?


It feels like people keep forgetting how much of a hate you-know-what Nintendo has for Project M and keep promoting it, forgetting that Nintendo will strike.

Like, we had this situation happen before with another tournament. I find it hard to believe they missed that news.

 

[NintenRob]

Am I too late for the Metroid talk? Because I'm hyped for Metroid and if we ever get another Metroid character, I want it to be evil chozo dude.

After the reveal. No more character speculation for Ultimate, except for the mii costumes which will be consolation prizes for the characters who didn't make it as fighters.

We might get a few new spirit events for a while after dlc ends at least

I hope, anyway. I would like to see certain indies that have no hope of a playable character get represented somehow

cough Darkest Dungeon PLEASE PLAY IT I BEG OF YOU cough

 

[Momotsuki]

I find it funny that there's very few characters FP11 could be that would be more hype than this finally being over. I have modding to do, dammit.

It's never too late to hype metroid. Hype away bro

 

[Shroob]

I'm going to be excited regardless of who CP11 is. I really don't have any Most Wanteds. Sure, Master Chief or Phoenix Wright would be awesome, but at this point, I'll just be excited for Ultimate to finally be 'complete'.

 

[SKX31]

You will find yourself really wanting to Forge another one.

And another one.

And another one.

In an Infinite loop.

Not sure I entirely agree on that. Not just since Nintendo's dependent on their consoles being successful, but also since their grasp on the fanbase - or at least parts of it - has kinda slipped in some areas (looking mostly at the Youtube partner program, but also other parts). It's still something that's not going to hurt them much since most consumers and fans are happy with just the official versions, but those combined with Nintendo's fumbles do undermine their grip a bit.

Like, we had this situation happen before with another tournament. I find it hard to believe they missed that news.

You mean The Big House, which was (unlike Riptide) Nintendo-sponsored?

Think the whole "Nintendo-sponsored" difference is why the Riptide organizers initially went with the P+ events.

Until they announce FP3. Four months between characters, CP12 released seven months after CP11, and it's a promotional Pokemon. Six more characters, twenty four months total, plus the seven between passes, 31 more months, so about two and a half more years - takes us to partway to 2024 when the Switch successor shows up and a new Smash is announced two years prematurely.

I don't know if anyone posted this, but there is going to be a maintenance for the Eshop on August 30 to August 31. You all think this means anything?

And I must scream

 

[CommanderZaktan]

Found this. Thread below this post

Smash Bros Brawl is more than 13 years old. There have been 3 newer versions of Smash Brothers released since then.

Brawl is a dead game. The cake is already baked for the publisher, and all copies of the game and console are strictly sold secondhand. To me that is key.
