Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[subterrestrial]

inb4 no smash news

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

This guy predicted Kazuya and now he’s predicting Lu Bu

"If I willed Kazuya into existence" doesn't really sound like a prediction...

 

[Gengar84]

One of these will be the final Smash DLC:

Gengar84 this is how you win

Yeah, I’ve been saying Lu Bu is criminally underrated for a while. That doesn’t mean he’s definitely in but I think he at least has a good chance.

Going to bed tonight and realizing that we could finally know the identity of cp11 tomorrow is


Surreal


It's felt soo long, that a potential finale feels unreal.

Then watch its only a reveal date for the Sakurai Presents thus speculation continues to next month.

Fair

A date for the end is fine with me.

We're not going to be walking out empty handed one way or another, be it a date for the final character, or the character itself.

 

[DarkFalcon]

End it all tomorrow so the speculation scene's suffering can end.

 

[Bakabridget]

Quote and curly is a good idea for a character with an alt since they share the same weapons. curly mode is just quote mode but she can talk..

 

[Jondolio]

I shall will Decidueye into Smash

 

[SNEKeater]

It's going to feel weird not having this thread anymore. Every time I come to Smashboards the first thread I check (and sometimes, the only one I check when I'm around here) is this one lol

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Ultimate ending with Quote/Curly Brave would be nice actually. All these Indie miis and spirit events only for the final character to actually be the very first Indie character that was ever made.

Haha, Sora aint happening

This is probably layton’s best shot at being the last dlc rep. Literally about 4/5 days ago out of nowhere got his 1,2 and the anime’s OST’s added to iTunes and they mysteriously skipped Layton 3,4,5,6 and 7. Then we get a direct announcement 5/6 days later. It probably doesn’t mean much but this is his best shot of dlc.

If it makes ya feel better, Takuzo Nagano has been posting lots of Layton art these days, in fact, he just posted an artwork of the man himself just today.

Doesn't mean much for Smash obviously, but a nice good luck artwork eitherway.
Lets hope for the best fellow Laytonite!

 

[GilTheGreat19]

How about this
We'll know if it all ends tomorrow if Sakurai retweets the direct announcement a bit before it starts.

I dunno about literally the first, but definitely one of the first to hit it big. I would love Quote, and if Curly Brace works as an alternate costume, I wouldn't complain there either.

Before the final character come out, just wanna say that i'm sad that Kazuya kinda dipped after a while.

Dude's the most entertaining character to watch, but he is so excecution heavy & unfriendly to newcomer that it's not too hard to see why he isn't played much (from what I seen at least), but it's still a gosh dang shame.

 

[Shroob]

Did he even do that with E3?

I remember people freaking that E3 wouldn't have Smash due to him not retweeting.

I suck at Smash but I still have a lot of fun playing him against the AI.

I still see tourney videos with Kazuya, it’s the Minecraft Gang I almost never see anymore

 

[FreeFox]

I still have my three predictions:
1. Nahobino
2. Phoenix Wright
3. Pokemon character
Give me Paper Mario or Isaac!

Apparantly Steve Minecraft is rare, but played here and there.

I seen some video of Kazuya recently, but I haven't seen much talk around him.

 

[Momotsuki]

It ends tomorrow. We were all waiting for "the direct" and now that it's coming we find a new thing to be paranoid about.
Don't let the blind cynicism get to you. Tomorrow is it.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Yes.
I just rechecked and he retweeted it with a "Let's watch! 2x reply" about 20 minutes before the direct started
So if he does this tomorrow within a 30-minute range between the start time and 30 minutes before.... it'll all end then.

 

[Opossum]

Both would be good to see. Heck, the Genealogy one I'd be curious about since I wonder how they would remake/translate the very questionable stuff.

Honestly I don't think it's that big of an issue. Heroes already references some of the more unsavory plot points (one of Ishtar's voice lines explicitly calls out the ritualistic child sacrifices and all that jazz) and Fates has Corrin/Azura lol. Plus even games like Three Houses and Sacred Stones touched on things that can arguably be seen as a lot worse.

I don't know. It's just that like, as someone who really loves FE4 and its story, I do think a lot of the "they'd absolutely need to censor these plot points" fears are a bit overblown. At the end of the day they could include all of it and still maintain a T rating.

Should note though that Sm4sh DLC, Ultimate's base game and Ultimate's Pass 1 ended on just a release date announcement. I'm suspecting the same is gonna happen here.

 

[Jondolio]

FE4 sounds like a game I would love to play if it wasn't a SNES era JRPG so I'd love if it was remade.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Ever since I found out Genealogy has a playable unit named Daisy I was on board. #DaisyforSmash

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Watch the final fighter be the new protagonist from the next Fire Emblem game.

The salt would be endless.

 

[CannonStreak]

Watch the final fighter be the summoner from the next Fire Emblem game.

The salt would be endless.

That is because...

 

[SNEKeater]

A Fire Emblem 4 remake would be so, so cool. I'm not expecting them to remake that one if we're actually getting a remake soon, but if it was up to me I'd definitely pick Genealogy.

 

[Guynamednelson]

but he is so excecution heavy & unfriendly to newcomer

That's how he is in Tekken. Ironically he still has the simplest gameplan of any Mishima.

That's true, but dang, I need some more sick ass Kazuya combo/tech in Smash.

 

[Dukefire]

Endless?

 

[cashregister9]

I made a bingo card for this new Direct

 

[CannonStreak]

Speaking of Bingo, let alone Nintendo Direct Bingos...

Sorry, but I had to.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Watch the final fighter be the new protagonist from the next Fire Emblem game.

The salt would be endless.

The only pick that has any sort of realism behind it is Kiran from Fire Emblem: Heroes. It is a possibility, but I highly doubt their response to Byleth was "let's do literally the same thing again".

 

[Shroob]

Best case scenario is tomorrow we learn who CP11 is and pretty much every debate short of what Mii outfits they're coming with ends.

 

[Momotsuki]

Why would this be the first and only full general Direct since Joker's release that forgoes revealing a Smash fighter? "It's the last one" is a non-factor, so what is it? Not wanting to let yourself be excited? Loosen up a bit.
This isn't like Smash for; there's not enough left to show to warrant a "Final Presentation." There's just another fighter and their Sakurai Presents.
We will be seeing who FP11 is tomorrow evening.
