Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Dan Quixote]

I’m still in awe that the Kazuya thread had less than 100 posts before he got confirmed lmao

Actually in the same vein, is there some way to see which speculation threads are historically the largest of all time?

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I've recently taken another stab at The Ultimate Choice (Soul Melter) in Kirby Star Allies, and now I really want a similar mode in Super Smash Bros.

"Isn't that just a boss rush with extra steps?"

No I just want more Kirby bosses.

EDIT: Also, add True Destroyer of Worlds and Astral Birth - Void pls.

 

[Gengar84]

Only way I get added to this is if Velvet Crowe is the last character. Tekken situation with Tales anyone?

I love Velvet. She’s among my most wanted characters for Smash even if she is unlikely at this point.

Feel like K. Rool, Ridley and Banjo would be among those

The old Geno Thread

The old Geno Thread

I was going for confirmed characters only

 

[FreeFox]

The old Geno Thread

I though people stopped talking about it because of what happened there.

Here's where I win by being too lazy to make a Shanoa or Minamimoto thread

Not making a Gill Grunt thread is how I could win as well

Does Sgt Cortez have a support thread? Otherwise I’d vote for him

Evil Trapezium probably read this and is crying rn

If they ever give Super Smash Bros. the equivalent to support conversations, I want there to be one where characters (Likely a duo like Robin and Pit) theorize on who could use what choosey weapon.

• Could Link wield The Sword of the Creator?
• Could Shulk wield the Master Sword?
• Could Byleth wield the Monado?

No answers are achieved. They just sit there and ponder it a bit. EDIT: They could end the conversation by testing their theories with the swords that don't go crazy and kill everyone should the wrong wielder hold it.

Mans already has a script for a Smash Bros "What if..."

Here's one..
What if Kirby was the only one who didn't survive WoL and everyone else did?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

You know. At this point I'm not that excited for the next Smash character. I'm more excited for games I already have (like Great Ace Attorney), or games that aren't out yet (like Metroid Dread).

I still love Smash and play/watch it frequently, and I'll inevitably be excited when it's time for that last newcomer but... I'm just not that invested at the moment.

It's probably healthier this way honestly.

I feel more anticipated and hyped than ever before to the point it steered me to this thread. It's definitely less healthy this way lol.

Same. I'm way more invested in inhaling anything Metroid atm than Smash. Still fun to talk about Smash, but when I've got most of my dream picks it's hard to be passionate about characters anymore.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

At this point I just want it done with because I'm just burnt out of speculation by now.

Just let it finally end already.

Yeah, put Smash Bros. Ultimate speculation out of its misery.

I know that the moment I first see that last character trailer will be like extremely hype but in terms of adding to my life yeah other games like Metroid Dread will totally take the cake this year.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Yeah, put Smash Bros. Ultimate speculation out of its misery.

Can't wait until we get nothing this month and we actually have to wait until the VGA in December.

Especially given that "It'll be a while" statement.

 

[Jondolio]

I'm in a really weird situation.
I got into Smash speculation in 2017, before Ultimate was even announced, and got burned out by mid 2019. I only recently became interested in speculation again, so I'm a bit worried that there will be a hole in my life after the final character gets released....
It's not gonna stop me from making fan rosters though

Speaking is GAA, how are you liking that game?

 

[Dan Quixote]

Gave it a shot and wow, looks like Shantae has the biggest active speculation thread (not counting this one). That's pretty surprising, but good for her.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

How does one start a support thread for characters?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Is it were me doing this game, id Old Yeller this ****, shoot it and get it over with

 

[True Blue Warrior]

To be honest, given the current state of Activision Blizzard, I think it’s best Crash be saved for next game or even an Ultimate port if that happens. Same for an Overwatch Mii or Spirits (or even a playable character, which I personally think the other two options are more likely for OW)

i can already see the “CANCEL NINTENDO/SAKURAI” tweets if Crash is the last character… hopefully by next game ActiBlizz will have cleaned their act

Sakurai has a 10-0 matchup against cancel culture.

 

[Momotsuki]

"Isn't that just a boss rush with extra steps?"

No I just want more Kirby bosses.

EDIT: Also, add True Destroyer of Worlds and Astral Birth - Void pls.

Anybody that shelved KSA after the subpar first impression missed out. If you're one of those people, you seriously owe it to yourself to revisit it. Making it through Soul Melter EX as solo Parasol Waddle Dee was the most fun I had with a Kirby game in a long time. And the music used for the Parallel/bonus bosses is amazing. As is Void's, as you mentioned.

 

[FreeFox]

People under burn out should consider taking a break. Relax and distract yourself with something else. No need to be suffering for something that should be done for personal enjoyment.

 

[Iko MattOrr]

They need to add an old man character in Smash so it's possible to recreate the Old Man Yells at Cloud meme.
E. Gadd is fine I think, but if there are better options it's ok (Cranky is a monkey not a man -.-).

 

[Gengar84]

Part of me is looking forward to it being over with too because I told myself I’d hold off on modding the game until after all the DLC is released.

Hail to the king, baby!

For his down special, he transforms into a boat. In this state, he's the only character who can swim indefinitely, but he's immobile on land, acts as a platform, and the Gust Bellows is much more effective against him in that state.

 

[GoodGrief741]

Wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened - Richter and Piranha Plant didn’t have threads prior to their reveals iirc

Also Gil Tower of Druaga has been Mii’d TWICE and he still doesn’t have a support thread…

Now I feel tempted to make it. I think I'm the only one that cares about poor Gil though...

Here you go, here it is,

"Why are we still here, just to suffer?"

Me: "YES"

 

[Adrianette Bromide]

Idk what y'all are on. I'm gonna enjoy this moment of time before I don't get to get hyped about another character for another console lifespan. Cheers to the last fighter

 

[Ivander]

Made a list showing the users who own the specific thread for their character since I had some free time. Who's gonna claim the last spot?

Someone said it already
But imagine if it's a character that doesn't have a support thread

So since I've been predicting Phantasy Star, what happens if it is a Phantasy Star character, but it's not Alis or Rika, the 2 with a support thread(small threads, but still threads)? Do I get that last spot if it's someone from PSO2, since I have talked about the characters from that game?

Welcome to the club, partner.

We got cookies & E-Tank for & enjoyers.

 

[MBRedboy31]

Let’s go further and imagine if it’s a character that hasn’t been mentioned on Smashboards, ever. Like, you’d type their name into the search bar and absolutely nothing from before their reveal would come up.

 

[Jocario Zero]

I’m still in awe that the Kazuya thread had less than 100 posts before he got confirmed lmao

Reminds me of Ryu's thread during smash 4s dlc. He barely had 2 pages until the 3DS leaks happened.

 

[Sucumbio]

I've heard tell of the old Ridley thread... I'm just glad the worst we see here is the occasional argument lol

This is how Cap'n Cuttlefish wins.

Link to the old Ryu thread, please?

 

[Dukefire]

I think this is one of the scenarios should the character one rooted for so long, turns out didn't make the cut.
