Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[SvartWolf]

New thread, new start! Just kidding, I haven't changed. Hone your spirit, refine it.


Reimu is in as hell. But she's Fighter 11, not Fighter 9.

Nice avatar :3 too bad that Atelier content is kinda deconfirmed now

Never played touhou... but If reimu is in I still think i would enjoy her and her stage and music.

I wonder why the Previous Thread was killed off. Too Much Traffic there?


Do you guys think we'll see New Companies in this Fighter pass? Technically one could argue Mojiang is new, but beyond that we haven't had true New company this pass

I think it's because highly-active threads with 5000 pages or so can melt down the servers or something like that.

Whatever happens, I'm sure SNK is out now. They brought literally every IP along with Terry.

I would really be surprised if one didn't already existed.

 

[SNEKeater]

Those two weren't mentioned in the previous pages so I'm gonna have to shill them in the beginning of this new thread

WE STAN KAZUMA KIRYU

WE STAN SOL BADGUY

Eh, they still have plenty of Metal Slug content left, but that's about it.

Still holding out hope for Marvelous! Even then, I’m still down for anybody, even - no, especially a console competitor that’s not Microsoft (so, basically, just Sony and/or Valve)

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I was noticed by the peanut butter queen.

That is all. You may resume specula.

Basically what stoopid said. The threads that get a huge page count begin getting all catawampus and begin to degrade and have issues.

Personally i still think we'll probably get an Arc systems character in.
Otherwise i would find it weird that Nintendo approached Arc for just a few spirits when they are most known for fighting games.

 

[Faso115]

I wonder, where are this complaints about Sephiroth being yet another anime swordsman?

I'm seeing more complaints about the comlaints than the actual complaints.

What a mouthful ugh

 

[Lionfranky]

I think Sephiroth showed just how impossible it is to predict what's coming next. No one thought it possible, yet here we are. I was so sure Rex would be one of the final 3, but now I really don't think it's happening. So now I think my prediction for the final 3 is gonna go something like this:

9. The Knight / Hornet (Hollow Knight)
10. Doom Slayer (Doom)
11. Crash Bandicoot (Possibly with Coco)

Here's my reasoning:
Hollow Knight is an indie game, yes, however it is a fairly popular indie game with a new title being introduced in the series sometime soon. We've had more popular indie reps like Sans and Cuphead entered into the series as Mii costumes which seemed like it was going to be a trend, but it quickly subsided when there was no other deluxe indie Mii costume for the next 3 patches. I feel like if any indie rep is going to take a spot at this point, it'll be The Knight or Hornet.

Doom Slayer I think is a long time coming. Doom is pretty much the father of first person shooters, a genre not really represented in Super Smash Bros. If there were going to be a face for the genre (One who helped define FPS games), it would be the Doom Slayer, James Bond, or Master Chief. One absolutely cannot happen (James Bond), Master Chief is a Microsoft character that's never appeared on a Nintendo console, leaving Doom Slayer.

Crash, again, is a long time coming. Mario had two rivals in the early 90s; one for his 2D games (Sonic) and one for his 3D games (Crash). Crash, like Mario and Sonic, had worldwide popularity and was the unofficial mascot of Playstation in the early days and now just drifts to all consoles much like Sonic does. Of course one of the biggest cases for Crash is that he had sizeable popularity even in Japan despite being a western made character, much more than you can say for his later counterpart Spyro (Who was completely ruined in Japan). It's a good opportunity to add in Coco as well since she plays identically to Crash in the most recent games (Only difference being she uses a butt stomp rather than a belly flop)

Doom Slayer got deconfirmed hard long ago. I guess people never read that interview.

ive seen the clomplaining about people complaining when people arent complaining quite a lot of times honestly...

I've seen the complaint occasionally, though it's usually from people who either aren't familiar with him or who were rooting for other characters.
Though the major thing to take note of is that Sephiroth is not just another anime swordsman...

He's the anime swordsman.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Doom Slayer got deconfirmed hard long ago. I guess people never read that interview.

People are assuming it was a NDA kind of move, but it feels just a little too transparent to be that, imo. NDA statements are never in-depth like that.

It's a shame. I really would've loved to rip and tear my foes in hell.

Me either, but Quote would be great!

I thank you, for Giving Skull Kid and Majora's Mask some sort of presence on the first page.

 

[RileyXY1]

I just created two new Backyard Sports character threads. One for Pablo Sanchez and one for Annie Frazier.

 

[Momotsuki]

Alright, I cannot take this dillemma any longer, I need input. The burning question on my mind... Is Pepsiman a video game character? What does a series of TV commercials count as?

oh **** new thread

first for scorpion is next

 

[Shroob]

I'm going to throw out a very dumb, but fun idea. I don't mean it to be serious(For now at least), but just hear me out.



Let's assume, for the sake of argument that Chun Li is the March character, and in this hypothetical that Tales of also is getting in, with Yuri getting the slot and Lloyd being a Mii costume still.


So that's 2/3 of our slots taken, and since this is a meaningless theory grounded on absolutely nothing but happenstance and daydreaming, let's pretend that the Crash roadmap leak is actually legit as well.


So we have Chun Li for March

So where does that leave Crash and Yuri? Well, I think it goes without saying that Crash is an E3 reveal, if for no other reason other than that'd probably be what Activision would want. So then Yuri gets the last spot.


So we got:


March: Chun Li
June~ish: Crash
Sometime after June: Yuri


Why does this matter? Honestly, because if nothing else, these three have very similar traits to the first three characters which came out in the exact same order.


June: Min Min
September: Steve
December: Sepiroth


2 Martial Artists
2 Western 3rd Parties
2 Sword users


This is just a funny haha joke theory, but I'd like to call it the Rule of 2 for all the Star Wars nerds out there.

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

New thread, huh? I'm fine with that.


Don't forget to sponsor the Red Hero, though.

Quite a nice rule you got there. And, yes, I am a Star Wars fan (although I've only seen 7 out of the 9 movies so far).

Sell the houses to who?

 

[Mushroomguy12]

About as much of a video game character as the Noid, I suppose?

 

[Shroob]

Afraid I don't get the reference lol.

Imagine showing this picture to Alexander the Great before he died of Typhoid fever.

Can't have a new thread without some memes, y'know?

Not a single mention of Bandana Dee, please stan the Dee

Also while you're at, Skull Kid and King Boo too

Once for every newcomer added in Smash Ultimate

The Capcom rep we deserve

Forget Chun Li, Dante, or Phoenix, this is who the Monster Hunter costumes are being held off for

 

[Will]

And this one's for Minecraft Steve!
Aw dude no way Minecraft Steve is gonna get in Sma-AAAAAAAAA

 

[Momotsuki]

Y'know I honestly thought Steve was gonna end up in base game back in the day. I kind of wrote him off after that though, and then on he came.

 

[ARandomFruit]

Since everyone else is talking about characters they want.
Agumon. That is all.
