Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[MrJudd]

Grain of salt, people. This rodeo also happened back at E3 and we all know how it turned out. That said, [Redacted] would be an awesome finale.

 

[Shroob]

Like I said, I'm not gonna take any potential leaks too seriously right now, unless they're from like, PracticalBrush12.


Let's just enjoy this potential last night we have together, and see the Direct for ourselves tomorrow.

 

[DanganZilla5]

PSIGuy when did your source leak Kazuya? I'm talking to some people in a Discord server and they want to know. PLus this could have big implications depending on the answer.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

We're so close to the end (presumably), I'm just shutting my mind off and hoping it's someone I like. Even if theres a fully credible leak I'm just ignoring it, no point when the actual reveal is so close.

 

[WahHahaha]

People say this, but everyone's gonna flip if it ends up being Waluigi....

 

[Shroob]

Well, we were only given a day's time worth of announcement, but


**** it

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

People say this, but everyone's gonna flip if it ends up being Waluigi....

Why is that weird?

Honestly would love that, it'd be a great way to end Ultimate. I still get Wa-Elegy stuck in my head sometimes.

 

[WahHahaha]

Why is that weird?

Well I just think it's weird that people always say that they'll be happy no matter who is revealed, but if it's someone like Waluigi, (who actually has a pretty high chance at this point) they'd probably be very upset.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

If 11 is really Master Chief himself
Looking forward to Smash fans asking for Kratos to complete the console game mascots trilogy (tho I wouldn't complain lol)

 

[DarkFalcon]

I don't want Waluigi, but I really don't care enough to be upset. Would just be like ew and move on to the rest of the direct which I'm looking forward to.

 

[PSIGuy]

Asking now, will quote again when I have an answer. I know that Colonel King was hinted on June 20th, at least.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

That's not what he said though.

Which already goes against the "happy no matter what"

People are never truly "happy no matter what" there's always some characters they'd prefer not to be in the game and I wish people wouldn't say things like this that are clearly untrue just to make themselves look better.

 

[CommanderZaktan]

So today in Japan is Nintendo's birthday. And tomorrow in the west is the direct.

What stage is this from?

 

[GilTheGreat19]

I feel like either the fighter will get leaked last minute or not leaked at all.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

What stage is this from?

Wrecking Crew?

In 1889, 131 years ago, that Nintendo was founded today !! If it weren't for this company, the games in the world would be completely different. The Kyoto company building is traditionally square. I'm not a Nintendo person. #Smash Bros SP

 

[cashregister9]

What stage is this from?

This looks like Wrecking Crew to me

 

[WahHahaha]

What stage is this from?

It's probably a real image, it's just from google earth or something and that's why it looks low quality. Could be wrecking crew also though, idk.

Me with Steve. One of my absolute least wanted characters. Wasn't even gonna pretend to be happy. Dumb block lookin head. I like Minecraft too so it's nothing against the game.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

The one stage we all dance on


Real life

The graphical quality of that stage isn't amazing, but it's not that bad. Look at all the artifacts on those trees!

 

[Mushroomguy12]

What stage is this from?

It's a preview from that upcoming Google Earth DLC Stage their planning on releasing after the last fighter. Taking the Miiverse stage to the next level.

Well we got our pic of the day without any mention of the direct.
I feel like if we weren't getting any news about smash tomorrow, Sakurai would have tempered our expectations here.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Tfw you realize Nintendo is even older then Disney and Warner Bros.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

It's Wrecking Crew. The image on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's website doesn't give us a great view of the background, but the buildings you can see look exactly like this. EDIT: In fact, I'm confident that you can see the building in question here.

Also the image is in the game's artstyle so it's not from Google Maps.

It's wild to think about how long Nintendo has been around for. I always get kinda emotional whenever I look at the history in WarioWare Gold (which is pathetic, I'm not scared to admit). Makes me wish they brought their toys across the Pacific, they all look like they were a ton of fun.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

The Post of the Day will turn out to be a vital clue when the last fighter is a Nintendo Playing Card, officially making it the oldest character in the game at 132 years old.

Hollar if you remember back during Smash 4 times people suggesting Nintendo's Napoleon Bonaparte Hanafuda cards as a fighter.


I do.

 

[FreeFox]

Well, if Master Chief is the last character. It means I just won a bet though it also means I will be cosplaying the character.

 

[Shroob]

So...

Assuming they DO show off FP11 tomorrow, and give us a date which is relatively soon, when do you even think they'd come out?


Next week? The week after seems kinda sus due to Metroid Dread launching that week iirc.

Does that mean we could get his descendent as a spirit?

IF they're revealed tomorrow, and if we get the date of the Sakurai Presents, my guess is early october.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Just got back into Halo so I am so down for Master Chief. Theres a lot of potential and it'd certainly be a massive moment in gaming.

 

[Shroob]

IF they're revealed tomorrow, and if we get the date of the Sakurai Presents, my guess is on early october.

Issue I see is that Metroid Dream comes out October 8th, and I don't see a world where they drop the new Smash character the same week as the game they've been advertising to hell.


And the first 2 days of October are.... next week.

Who do you think could make a good Echo Fighter? From what I've played, there's plenty of options, like...
Locke
Sgt. Johnson
Noble Six
The Rookie
The Arbiter
Really, the list goes on.

Dream scenario would be Arbiter

 

[DarkFalcon]

Yea with Dread coming out the timing is interesting. Could be really soon after the direct or we could be waiting a bit. Dont think they'll release the last fighter near Dread. Though since it's a DLC fighter and not a full game maybe they won't care.
