Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[ahemtoday]

Honestly, I don't think it would change much. It'd mostly make Sora completely unquestionable, and allow for Geralt, and a character from Marvel Vs. Capcom.

On that last one: who would it be, do you think? I'm guessing you don't mean Amingo, SonSon, or Ruby Heart. It seems the public opinion is that they're already eligible.

...I feel like it might be Doctor Doom, to be honest.

 

[SharkLord]

If Sakurai said that any character was on the table so long as they had valid big video game roles, how would you react?

My reaction would be to immediately simp for Godzilla.

Screw Godzilla. Vote Bagan.

Ah yes, Godzilla Movie Studio Tour. Who could forget its earthquake level shakeup of the video game industry?

Spider-Man, maybe? He's has both the MVC series and Spider-Man PS4.

Actually I do mean those three. It's kind of hard to represent a series when the characters representing it need to also represent their own series. It'd be like getting Sly Cooper as a Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale character rather than a Sly Cooper character.

It's more that it would force non-video game representation, even if they only had the game's title for some reason.

The only real character I can see this mattering for is Geralt, whose recognized more as a game character nowadays than the book character he was originally. It also means stuff like Dynasty Warriors, visual novel characters, and characters like Hatsune Miku become unquestionably eligible.

Comic book characters often have heavy associations with video games, but they’re still known more as comic book characters so even if Sakurai broke the rules a bit I don’t see anything like Wolverine or Spider-Man coming.

What are you talking about Godzilla was already added in Melee

Not just Godzilla Movie Studio Tour, but Super Godzilla as well!

Not gonna lie, James Bond somehow ending up in Smash after all these years would be pretty cool.

Inteleon is the best chance we have at this point.

Well that's still better than the alternative compromise:

I'm very late to the discussion of Porky but I would welcome him, I think he's a more underrated villain. It'd also be a good way to get Giygas in the game through his Final Smash, it would be a great way to represent the series' two central antagonists. I think Mother 1 Giygas would be more interesting since there are a lot of creative liberties that can be constructed, but Porky is undeniably worth it since he's literally nowhere in Ultimate at all. except his statue i guess

I mean, this game is proof enough that Shrek deserves to get in:

Oh ****, Crash Bandicoot's worst nightmare has finally arrived.

I must ask:

Can Godzilla Koopabackdashwaveslide hoverwalkmoonland in that game?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

As cool as Godzilla would be. Keep Smash about gaming as it is as it'd lose what its about.

Celebrating gaming.

Much rather if possible, I'd however be down for a Smash Style Godzilla game. Although I'm down for any new Godzilla game since I feel its long overdue.

Besides Godzilla is definitely a perfect example and definition of "Too Big" for Smash. Even at his smallest, he's 50 meters tall.

We need another World of Light Trailer like with Sephiroth, with Galeem and Dharkon about to eliminate all the fighters, when all of sudden, this theme plays at max volume.

And then he slices both of them in half like Sephiroth did with his sword, only with his bare fists.

The entire point of this talk is a "what if?" scenario.

We know it won't happen, but someone still wanted to bring the subject of 4th parties to have some actually new conversations to talk about instead of talking about Hayabusa or Monster Hunter for the Nth time.

Don't try to shut down the subject because Smash is about "celebrating gaming". We know that and this specific topic isn't about serious speculation, but rather this little thing called "fun".

You're just being a party pooper right now

Besides Godzilla is definitely a perfect example and definition of "Too Big" for Smash. Even at his smallest, he's 50 meters all.

With that said, I agree with this

My bad, I didn't realize that. Apologies.

What does a Godzilla game have to do with Kiryu?

 

[Pillow]

While we’re on the topic, what are your guys opinions of characters who originated in video games but whose games have settings that are not originally from video games (shadow of Mordor, Star Wars fallen order, the walking dead, etc)? Would you be against them appearing in Smash?

Or he throws Galeem into Dharkon, causing both of them to explode. Twice.

I love Nintendo, and while I also love Shonen Jump and would be livid for some of their characters in smash, honestly I would rather just a sequel to this masterpiece with the new series represented

It's a nickname for Mechagodzilla in this case.

Considering the response to Android 21, I believe the answer is yes, and I'm inclined to agree. It would be a weird pick for the series in pretty much every scenario, and it feels much more loopholey way to add a character rather than adding a character for genuine reasons.

If we're going to add a non-videogame character, I'd say they need to be apart of a big enough game to warrant the inclusion.

 

[Lyncario]

The japanese version of the game had Mechagodzilla 3, also known as Kiryu, instead of Mechagodzilla 2, which is the one we got in the international release of the game if I'm not mistaken.

Didn’t they also put Kiryu in the Xbox version across all regions?
I may be thinking of Save The Earth though.

Yes, he was put back in that version of the game.

I hate to be the one to give bad news but...technically this game did get a sequel.

I’m of the same mind, though I do think a lot of these characters are from pretty successful games.

Nah man thats only when hes hungry.

On a more semi-serious note, if Godzilla was actually on the table (Not saying he is), I don’t think many people would complain about a Bowser size version of him. So long as he still feels like Godzilla at the end of the day.

 

[cashregister9]

A kaiju/tokusatsu stage where you fight on the streets of a city but the city is tiny would be pretty damn cool.

 

[Simplythe1]

I know J Stars Victory Vs and JUMP FORCE, (I own both) but I mean an ACTUAL sequel to the Smash Bros platform and koma customization gameplay...

or are you actually talking about Jump Stadium...the mobile one made by Konami...

YES!
(You could throw buildings of any size, from small to large, use a radio tower like a lance, grab a tanker ship using it like a big old club.)

Spoiler: Using the tanker ship would be something like this
