Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Otoad64]

Toad is probably the last Nintendo character with enough star power that even non-gamers recognize him.

Once you go beyond that you're in a far more subjective territory.

I would say Waluigi isn't too far down the ladder

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Now that I think about it. I would go on to say Peach and Zelda are up there as gaming female icons as well. Surprised I've never thought about it until now.

 

[M@R!3]

Lol I just did that battle again yesterday.

The superbosses make me think the only thing that could be a bit lame about a movement for Sora is him having a counter. He does have a good supply of cool options for a counter but I get a little tired seeing a new character come with one.

I'd be fine with a counter if Sora could convert it into a combo like in his games, but otherwise yeah, it would be a little uninspired.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Chun-Li is a protagonist too.

I was meaning more main protagonist if anything. She's certainly a protagonist yes but not the main as opposed to Samus, and Lara Croft. I do agree that in terms of gaming female characters as a whole, she is definitely above them both.

They don't call her gaming's first female fighting character for nothing after all.

I mean, I would say peach is the most iconic female gaming character

Only if by "Nintendo" you mean 100% owned by them, and not by someone considered a second party like, say, The Pokemon Company.

 

[Mamboo07]

You know guys, we don't have a skeleton as a fighter and no, Sans doesn't count!

Spoiler: I know whom it shall be

SIR DANIEL!

Papagenos latest video regarding current speculation of potential newcomers.

 

[chocolatejr9]

Say, remember awhile ago when I posted the CYL5 interim results and joked about the next FE rep? Well...

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I guess you could say I have puts on sunglasses something to report.

Who’s the girl between Crash and Hayabusa?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Who’s the girl between Crash and Hayabusa?

Female Monster Hunter Rise protagonist I believe.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Who’s the girl between Crash and Hayabusa?

Probably the female Monster Hunter (Rise).

 

[Louie G.]

Who’s the girl between Crash and Hayabusa?

Female Monster Hunter from Rise.

Edit: DOUBLE

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Heres the thing, ive been looking at voice theory alot recently and there are 4 character slots left, meaning that one of them will have some sort of alt. the one that makes the most sense to me is rowan and lianna unfortunately.
Also something unrealated is that before we got sephiroth we had alot of square enix spirit events. We recently got a koei tecmo event, which is the comapany that made fire emblem warriors.I hope to god i am wrong about this

This is fearmongering and kinda stupid fearmongering at that.

 

[Ivander]

You thought you were going to get Crash? Monster Hunter? Dante? KOS-MOS? Elma?

BUT IT WAS ME, ANOTHER FIRE EMBLEM AVATAR!
For his B-special, he uses a gun.
To sum up everything, Kiran is becoming a new Customizable Avatar Unit in Fire Emblem Heroes. His main weapon is his Summon Gun, Breidablik and you can place any skill on his A, B, C or Seal skills from any of your Heroes, including the incredibly hard to get and powerful skills. The Middle design is his Default design. The Male Avatar on his left is the 1st Male Option followed by Male Option 2 then Male Option 3. The Female Avatar on the right is Female Option 3, followed by Female Option 2 than Female Option 1.

Don't threaten me with a good time! A summoner and Gun user would be rad as hell.

Reminds me of the time before Robin was revealed for Smash 4 when everyone referred to him/her as My Unit.

Not before Gatekeeper. He deserves it after that legendary win.

HE BEAT MARTH! BY A LANDSLIDE!!!!

Smash has enough gatekeeping already.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Same.

If I remember, the most requested Sqaure Enix characters are:

• Anime boy with a key (Sora)
• Overrated puppet from a Mario RPG (Geno)
• Robot girl with a big posterior (2B)
• Another anime boy but with headphones (Neku, don't know?)

Well if we want to play that game:

• Normie chick with guns
• Mrs. Thunder Thighs
• Idiot "genius" with a dumb name

We could go on forever and accomplish nothing but piss each other off. At the end of the day, it's a game we're talking about. It's supposed to be fun. Speculation is supposed to be fun. Let's not ruin that by putting down others' interests.

I cannot be mad at the opportunity to fire anime girls at my opponents.

Alright, please keep in mind I’m a total FE novice.
Whats up with Gatekeeper?
They seem really popular though apparently they aren’t a major character.

Lemme guess:

• Jonsey from Fortnite
• Chun-Li
• Eggman

 

[Guynamednelson]

Jonsey from Fortnite

"CHICK" with guns. Not guy.

 

[SharkLord]

Everyone loves Gatekeeper because he always greets you with a chipper "Greetings professor! Nothing to report!", then explains the latest news. With the combined power of memes and being a really nice guy, he just became best boi.

 

[Mamboo07]

"CHICK" with guns. Not guy.

Lara Croft!

 

[ShrimpScampi]

Alright, please keep in mind I’m a total FE novice.

During the school portion of Three Houses, whenever you have the opportunity to go around the monastery, you can talk to the Gatekeeper, who will have something new to say each time, and his dialogue always starts with "Greetings, Professor! Nothing to report!", which has become essentially his catchphrase.

He doesn't have a name and isn't playable, but his cheerful attitude and catchphrase, along with Kyle McCarley's voice work as him have made him a favorite among Three Houses fans. (Kyle McCarley also voiced Alm in FE Echoes, 9S in NieR Automata, and Mob in Mob Psycho 100, among other things.)

I don't think Gatekeeper was an option to vote for last time they had a Choose Your Legends poll, so people definitely took note of the fact that they added him as an option this time around.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Gatekeeper is the Waluigi of the Fire Emblem fanbase.

He's a constant meme, but he's a beloved one and you'd be hard pressed to find people who dislike them.

 

[BlondeLombax]

Smash has enough gatekeeping already.

OH MY GOD STOP IT I CAN'T BREATHE
Oh, seriously, though, what an amazing burn. You get a big boost in brownie points, my good sir.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Eh, it wasn't that original. I've already seen someone do it when someone else suggested Gatekeeper for Smash.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I absolutely do not see a scenario where we get another Street Fighter character and that character isn't Chun-Li

BISON!!

*****, she got her own (very high quality) Hollywood movie!

In terms of Missing All-Stars for both 1st and 3rd parties.

Ganon

GANON IS NOT MISSING!

 

[DevaAshera]

Yeah, pretty much any of the big characters that they use in Mario Party & Mario Kart as series mainstays are recognized enough..there's a reason Waluigi is a meme even amongst non-gamers.

 

[Cosmic77]

It's pretty hard to be a Mario character who's been playable in almost every spinoff and NOT be easy to recognize.

Honestly, I'd be willing to say characters like Toad, Daisy, and Waluigi are more well-known than some of the third-parties we have.

Birdo and Toadette too.

Probably the single thing I've seen the FE fanbase agree on. lol

Ironic as the fanbase has a lot of gatekeeping in it's blood, going all the way back to the grassroots rom hack/import scene. I remember being made fun of for liking the Tellius games back in 2008.

Part of me wonders if we would have gotten a different Mario enemy instead of Piranha Plant had it not been for movesets. Koopa Troopa probably wouldn't add as much given we already have other turtles on the roster and it's hard to do anything with a Goomba.

Tell me about it..I still get mocked for liking Fates and the avatar characters like Corrin & Byleth..or mocked for liking Tharja & Camilla (I'm so sick of hearing 'there's only one reason you like 'em'..like..no..there are other reasons)..I constantly get told to 'play the old games, newb'..when I was there for Marth & Roy in Melee, I played every Fire Emblem game we got in the West from day 1 (along with a translation rom hack of Roy's game)..they just can't accept that people have their own opinions and points of view on things..

 

[Lamperouge]

Female Monster Hunter Rise protagonist I believe.

Now I really hope we get Monster Hunter as a fighter because that design is super cute.

I mean, yeah. Mario's one of the biggest game franchises. Though I'd still bet on Pac-Man, Sonic, Cloud, Ryu and arguably Mega Man and Snake to be about as or more well known than the 2nd or 3rd tier Mario gang.

Shy Guy would have legit slapped as the playable mook.

If Apex Legends comes to Smash, have it be like the ARMS style tease where we guess who's getting in.
