Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Love that idea. I think a RH stage would have to integrate the music in some way.
The only issues there would be with lag in online matches or when people pause the game. They'd have to find some work around for that.

I would say the music just stops when someone pauses, and for the stage to skip to the correct point in the song if the game lags.

Random Rhythm Heaven Stage Concept: Rhythm Heaven.

The stage is pretty much just Final Destination with the Rhythm Heaven logo on the front. What makes it unique is the music, with each song having an effect on it. Examples:

• Samurai Slice (GBA): Later in the song, fog will often roll in for a split second, shrouding the stage in darkness.
• See-Saw: When the inspectors land on the seesaw, the edge of the opposite side of the stage will flip up, launching players into the air (it doesn't actually hurt you though). When they land on the inner parts, the stage will launch players that are standing more in the middle.
• Lockstep: There are two sets of semi-solid platforms on the stage that swap with each other when they switch to the backbeat and vice versa.
• Monkey Watch: You can stand on the hands of the watch.
• The Dazzles: You can stand on the window sills.

Any suggestions on soundtracks for the game? Its rhythm heaven afterall.

What would your reaction be if the last character ended up being Adol Christin from Ys?

Pretty cool. And Ys does have killer music. Maybe bring some other Falcom music too?

Y'all aren't ready for the Final Smash Character

Saber is a possibility, since she is still a video game character like Phoenix Wright.

Regardless of the character, I hope we get a trailer as cool as Sephiroth's again. Kazuya's trailer was so short and not very exciting because he was revealed immediately with no buildup. That moment of suspense between Galeem getting sliced in half and One Winged Angel starting was amazing.

There was definitely build-up. Not as much as Sephiroth, but a dead Ganondorf being brought to the volcano while some of us were thinking it was Heihachi, only to be revealed it was Kazuya, was still very much a build-up.

The song on my mind right now.

Everybody's on the hype train. I'm on the hype tank.

Yes, I'm shilling more Phantasy Star and PSO2 music.

By the books JRPG swordie who looks like a modern Fire Emblem reject? Not good at all.

This is a great idea, I do like that music interact with the stages in a fun way. I guess the downside is that there would be no "my music" menu for this stage (unless you have the possibility to pick a music and the stage never changes).

 

[BlondeLombax]

Here's-a-my card. I'll be surprised myself if some of these come to pass.

Spoiler: It's a big-un.

 

[SNEKeater]

What would your reaction be if the last character ended up being Adol Christin from Ys?

Very surprised, but also very happy.

Ys is a great series and deserves more acknowledgment and love. Well, that applies to Falcom in general to be honest. I could totally see Sakurai doing honor to Falcom's legacy in a similar way as he did with SNK's history. So I guess the choice would also make sense for those who expect a "low profile" addition for the last character.

It's funny, because when it comes to the character itself, I would prefer Estelle over Adol. But as of now I think I enjoy Ys more than Trails. But I'd be happy with both options.

In any case, having Adol in Smash would never be a bad decision, even if it's only because of Ys music.

 

[Shroob]

There's a part of me that wants to go into the Direct surprised.


And another part that wants a prolific leaker like Brush to just drop everthing.



At this point, I'm honestly more excited to have closure than who CP11 actually is.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Uh...Gimme a few hours and hope I don't forget.

It would be fully compatible with My Music actually. The stage would react to the song that was picked, and the songs are picked as normal. Any song that has multiple mini games within it would specifically be from a remix (EDIT: Or a new medley of songs if we get new remixes like that).

 

[BlondeLombax]

Pulling this back out in case anybody starts assuming that every "leak" on 4Chan is real;

Remember, they're not so much "leaks" as they are "Wish fulfillment of the original poster."

THIS.

Though sadly, I know at least one user here who encourages the exact opposite behavior...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Good thing I'll actually be at work so then I won't be spoiled by leaks.

Think I'm going to keep ge page of the direct open when it comes up on YouTube right away. That way I get back home, shower and I can watch it right away.

 

[smashkirby]

Hey guys. Something's been on my mind recently, and I've been wondering what others may think of the idea.

In the event that Nintendo decides to make a live-action Metroid movie, do you all think Blake Lively would make for a good/decent Samus?

I know everyone brings up Brie Larson, but Blake as Samus has been on my mind for the last few days.

Here are a few suggestions from me:
Air Rally
Fruit Basket
Bunny Hop
Flock Step
Hole in one
Karate Man
Samurai Slice
Remix 8
Remix 10

Thats right, us Sora fans are clowning perfectly on twitter

I'd certainly take Blake over Brie, though I'm not sure how well Blake would fit the Samus profile in terms of athletics and toughness. Maybe Charlize Theron? IDK.

Word of advice: Fighter 11 is most likely someone NOT trending before the reveal.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

To pass the time with a random talking point, would you say is the best designed Smash 4 newcomer character from a moveset and gameplay perspective?

 

[Theguy123]

So with the last character assumably coming tomorrow or very soon I wanna throw some Layton speculation out there on my behalf as to why I think it’ll be Layton. Pure speculation so if you don’t agree that’s fine. It’s just speculation

Level 5 cut ties with their American branch late 2020 and said there was no plans games outside of Japan. Fast forward to the last few months and we’ve had

Layton 7 get an official release outside of Japan on the Apple Arcade store

Official Layton merchandise dropped out of nowhere for the Layton franchise

and now we’ve had the official Layton OST’s dropped for Layton 1,2 and the anime.

considering there’s no plans for future game releases outside Japan currently according to level 5, it seems a bit weird to drop these things in the space of a few months leading up to FP11 of smash bros.

what’s really interesting is that they dropped the first 2 games OST’s on iTunes and the anime’s and left out Layton 3,4,5,6 and7’s OST’s.

Wether it leads to anything, who knows. However, I just think it’s weird that all these things have happened over the last few months with 1 fighter left in smash bro’s when level 5 said there was no plans for game releases outside Japan. If there’s no plans for game releases then there’s no reason to specifically go out the way and do these things.

as an example, yo Kai watch doesn’t get merch or it’s OST’s dropped outside of Japan because there’s no plans for anything. They never got mobile releases on the Apple Arcade store. It just feels sus.

 

[Deleted member]

A new Direct sure did jump this thread a couple of pages up. Thank God they're airing it after work hours instead of in between

I had some thoughts about the potential in who the last fighter could be, but before that, will this thread get locked and a new thread on Post-Speculation be made for us to write up final thoughts on the Newcomers in Ultimate as a whole? I don't plan on sticking around after Vol 2 has been fully released, so it'd be nice for me to talk about all of DLC in a dedicated thread on the topic.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

To pass the time with a random talking point, would you say is the best designed Smash 4 newcomer character from a moveset and gameplay perspective?

Not really. I'd give the honor to Duck Hunt personally. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I'd also consider Palutena and Rosalina & Luma. Otherwise:

• Villager is probably fine.
• Mega Man is polarizing
• Wii Fit Trainer is very strange.
• Little Mac goes against the rest of the game.
• Greninja is...alright I guess.
• The Mii Fighters are kinda boring.
• PAC-Man is also polarizing.
• Robin is in a bit of a weird spot.
• Shulk is very strange.
• Bowser Jr. is very strange.
• Ryu and Ken have the aimbot thing.
• Cloud is alright.
• Corrin is also alright if a bit boring.
• Bayonetta is...Bayonetta. She can do some legitimately cool stuff though.

EDIT: That's not to say they're awful designs...for the most part.

 

[Dukefire]

The ice on Challenger 11 about to crack. Prepare the salt bunker in case.

 

[Shroob]

I think after everything's said and done, I'd like to make a big write up on my experiences through this cycle, assuming that we see CP11 tomorrow.

 

[Nekoo]

Can't believe that after around 5 years. I'l finally get to remove my Sora Avatar for the first time after the fighter is revealed. Whenever it's not him, or it is.

It's weird. I'll miss the dumb "mub Mickey mouse keychain" argument or "Geno is more deserving and iconic/popular" ones.
Fun times.

 

[N3ON]

I will just express my feelings of being so close to the end with this gif

 

[Dukefire]

All discussion will end yes......until the next tension and announcement for another Smash Bros game. (Which may be a long while with Sakurai stepping down the leader of the entire Smash project for 20+ years.)

 

[Shroob]

23 hours and 50 mins.


I missed the 24 hour mark so bleh.

Never a bad time to pull this one out.

 

[CommanderZaktan]

less than 24 hours til the Direct!

 

[Guynamednelson]

I shall do nothing but teleport bread for 23 hours and 36 minutes.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Don’t worry guys
We can just invade the Social Thread after all this

 

[Knight Dude]

There is only one song appropriate for the situation now.

Final countdown, which was the inspiration for Infinity Mijinion, a boss in Mega Man X6.

It's time guys......For Mega Man X High Max!

Looking forward to Mario Party Superstars. If they confirm Pauline is playable that would be

That'd be pretty neat. I don't think they showed off Daisy for that game yet, but it'd be weird not to have her. Did any Mario Party have Diddy Kong? I don't think they did, and he'd be cool for that.

 

[Technomage]

Hey y'all, sorry I haven't been on in like a month; I've been playing LOTS AND LOTS of Skyrim (the Dragonborn Mii costume got me hooked on it all over again), and adding mods (and lots of 'em) just made it even longer. ^^;

So anyways, any recent news? I saw a video discussing the Nintendo Direct tomorrow, and it's gotten me excited for it all over again.

 

[Wunderwaft]

What if we get Monokuma from Danganronpa? The Switch is getting an exclusive Danganronpa game after all.

Diddy did finally show up as playable in Mario Party Star Rush, but in general, greater integration between the series and DK should be happening. Beyond the obvious of Diddy and Dixie being playable, DKC themed boards would not only be a novelty, it would also raise the stock of the Country titles a bit. Mario and company traveling through a Bramble Blast level with its own dangers is long overdue.

 

[Sucumbio]

There's some options once this dlc pass is over.

A new thread to speculate if bonus materials come after 11 drops like a vol 3 or more Mii costumes spirits etc

Everyone migrate to the social thread

Keep this thread open

A smash 6 thread

A void into which all our new hopes and dreams vanish and there is silence.

But the honest answer is I don't know. I don't like thinking about it because this is a fun discussion thread and it makes me sad to see it go. But we'll have to wait and see what the forum mods decide. I'm just along for the ride

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Saw someone say this

Steve was revealed very close to Minecon 2020
inb4 Euden is revealed as it lines up with tomorrow's Dragalia Digest

 

[Idon]

reopen the smash social pls

 

[Baba]

What if we get Monokuma from Danganronpa? The Switch is getting an exclusive Danganronpa game after all.

I think Monokuma would be a really fun character.

 

[RealLuigisWearPink]

I'm not ready for it to end ;-;
