Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[GolisoPower]

There's three characters left in Fighters Pass vol 2 though
???????

I mean, Smash seems to be in a position where a Fighters Pass Vol 3 is very likely considering all the released picks thus far. Though come to think of it Sol looks plucked right out of an in-game Guilty Gear screenshot. If that is Sol.

It looks pretty convincing, but it could be just Grinch leak Mk.II here. Looking like the latter the more I look at it.

There is no way this isn't an attempt at creating a Grinch Leak part 2

Grinch Leak but without what made it special in our hearts.

Some pretty poor layering in here. Donkey Kong and Rosalina's faces are nearly covered completely.
Who are those even supposed to be, other than Crash and Yuri?

i can;'t even tell who those are supposed to be

 

[Guynamednelson]

Even if FP2 isn't the end why would they already have completed the paintings of post-FP2 fighters?

Kubfu, Ryu Hayabusa, Crash Bandicoot, Sol Badguy, Amaterasu, and Yuri, just about. At least, that's what I make out.

In any case, I'm not the type of person who calls things like this real or fak--

Oh **** !!!, Here we go again... Grinck Leak 2.0 !!!

My bear and bird Banjo-Kazooie survived that slaughter the 1st time around and you can bet my boy Crash Bandicoot is gonna go down fighting this go around.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

who the hecc is kubfu

 

[Guynamednelson]

who the hecc is kubfu

Urshifu's pre-evolution. So it's the equivalent of the Grinch Leak including the Conductor with the Chorus Kids.

 

[Super Devon]

....Yeah, I don't think this is real at all

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

who the hecc is kubfu

Sword and Shields DLC Pokemon.

Edit: Man, I must type real slow cause yall keep beating me to these replies.

 

[Perkilator]

There is no way this isn't an attempt at creating a Grinch Leak part 2

In any case, I at least appreciate the effort.

That being said, haven't we learned from the Grinch leak?

 

[GolisoPower]

Yup. Absolutely fake. Shared it on the Sol thread and someone brought up Yuri looking exactly like this model:

smh They chose Kubfu and not Calyrex smh smh Come ON Nintendo!

 

[Guynamednelson]

The picture of Sol they used is literally just

 

[GolisoPower]

The picture of Sol they used is literally just

Yeah, I definitely had my suspicions...

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Yeah, I definitely had my suspicions...

At least it kicked up speculation. For about 10 minutes...

 

[Louie G.]

All things considered I wouldn't be too upset with that lineup, as fake as this is. Sol and Amaterasu are particularly good picks.

Lmao @ Kubfu though

 

[Inue Houji]

Kubfu, Ryu Hayabusa, Crash Bandicoot, Sol Badguy, Amaterasu, and Yuri, just about. At least, that's what I make out.

Amaterasu

Yep, this is fake. There's no way I'm gonna get my hopes up for that.

Obviously fake. Pretty sure I've seen that Yuri art before. And this:

They literally used this from Guilty Gear Xrd for Sol.

It would have been nice to get a more convincing leak, not gonna lie. Even if it's just for the sake of new discussions.

It seems fake due to I highly doubt the remaining three fighters and maybe future fighters if there's a Fighter's Pass 3 would show up on the painting before Fighters 9-11 showing up.

Someone also found out that Kubfu is taken from a screenshot as well:

 

[Knight Dude]

Sounds like a nice dream



SF #2 is Chun-Li but got beat because Ken was able to be an echo. Castlevania #2 is Alucard but again we had a similar echo situation. Sephiroth is undoubtedly the #2 from FF7 and arguably the #2 from the whole series. In your opinion is Zero the uncontested #2 newcomer from Megaman or should it be someone else?

I was comparing Ken to Luigi and Tails due to being the "guy who's similar, but not quite the main character", Though in terms of overall marketing, then yeah, it's Chun.

As for Mega Man, mechanically,(like Luigi) it'd be Protoman. He works as an off-shoot of OG Mega Man the best, while other protagonists have their own spin-off gimmicks to make them standout. But I think you can make obvious claims to not only him, but Mega Man X and Zero as well.

MMX is the most successful spin-off other than Battle Network(I don't know if the Legacy Collections outpaced MMBN), with a recent poll showed that MMX was the most popular character, but I don't know how large scale it was, I think it was Capcom Taiwan's. There was also an early XDive Poll that had MMX in 1st and 3rd place, with both his Ultimate and Normal armors. With Zero being 2nd. And recently, Capcom's been pushing Mega Man X alot more in these crossovers, giving him first billing before Zero. Though honestly most of these use both of them.


And Zero's popular enough get a spin-off of a spin-off even if his solo games didn't sell as well as Mega Man X, and was chosen as an AT, so it's not like the guy isn't being sandbagged. Zero's been used the most in crossovers IF you include both versions of him, since the main Mega Man they use gets switched around, with Marvel 3 being the outlier that doesn't have a main Mega Man.

Taking that poll out that I mentioned, I would say Mega Man, then Zero, then Mega Man X seems to be the order of how popular they are generally.

EDIT: TL;DR

So you've got:

1. Older Brother guy with similar, yet different mechanics with Protoman.
2. 2nd Protagonist with the most success after the OG, and is getting a bigger push in recent years, potentially 2nd most popular overall with Mega Man X.
3. Edgy Rival Bro who was popular enough to also get his own series, and who's playstyle fits a fighting game with Zero.

So I'm here just to say Lara would be an amazing choice for Smash! Peace!

I agree, huge gaming icon. So she makes perfect sense. I'm also interested in how Sakurai could make her flashy as hell.

 

[kylexv]

Well, thank goodness that only lasted 10 minutes as opposed to 10 days. A fun idea to entertain though.

 

[AreJay25]

Well, I have to give the fake leak props. Having Sol, Hayabusa and Amaterasu would make me very happy.

Which is why I have to immediately take away the props because it's fake and I don't like having my dreams shattered.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

OK.

Lmao @ Kubfu though

Kubfu is litty though wdym. He's way cuter than Urshifoo. I'd love to be kung fuing everyone across the stage with this little guy.

Rookie faker though. A true faker would've included Isaac, to extinguish that last bit of hope that his supporters didn't even know they had.

To be fair, Isaac fans still have a bit of hope, mostly related to those Golden Sun trademarks that we still don't know about.

 

[SpectreJordan]

It’s fake af, but atleast it’s more realistic than Grinch Leak. I could see a lineup like that happening.

 

[SpecterFlower]

One thing with Tales, its one of JPRG's biggest franchises and very well massive over there in Japan. A reason to not write it off.

It's a lot smaller than the internet will have you believe. not too mention Arise is definitely going to decline the franchise, at least in Japan.

Kubfu, Ryu Hayabusa, Crash Bandicoot, Sol Badguy, Amaterasu, and Yuri, just about. At least, that's what I make out.

Amaterasu is looking really stiff.

my thought's on the leak.... even the grinch leak had a more believable roster. the grinch leak was about favorites, this one is just about the characters the speculation scene believes is the most likely, which makes it even more unlikely.

This screams Grinch Leak all over again.

 

[ahemtoday]

What is that Divine Instrument Amaterasu has there? That circular thing in the middle is too small to be Divine Retribution, and besides, DR is green with red fire, not blue with yellow fire. The Devout Beads go around her neck, so that's not it - even if they were above her in a ring, that still wouldn't explain the blue thing. It might be Tsumugari, looking up what that looks like, but where's the blade?

Crash and Hayabusa yeah, but the others? Cinderace is somewhat expected but not really a popular name, Amaterasu is literally the underdog pick for a new Capcom character, Sol Badguy is still a relatively niche name in the context of speculation and Lloyd is the popular Tales character among Smash fans, not Yuri. And no one would expect Kubfu or a second Pokémon DLC lol.

I'd say the pic does a somewhat good job when it comes to variety. It was obviously fake after seeing the pic had more than 3 fighters and even if they did a third pass, no way they would already have the banner with all the characters. But I think the selection is at least interesting.

It's Divine Retribution. The color is kind of like a rusted copper or bronze, but it's definitely green, and the fire effects are trying to be consistent with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's portrayal of them, being yellow in the center, then fading to red at the edges, but it's a bit too yellow.

 

[SpecterFlower]

well that was a quick deconformation to that leak, RIP it barely lived.
