Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Inue Houji]

Are you all ready for a good old fashioned Conspiracy Theory? I don’t believe this for a second, but its fun.

Holiday 2001 just hit different, let me tell ya.

In the span of a few months you were in gaming ecstasy. pic.twitter.com/X1n0UlN3jr

We’ve seen this image. All about how gaming icons were made and released in the holdiay of 2001.

You know what else happened in 2001? A space odyssey.
And who is the the big bad in that movie? That's right, HAL, the namesake of the company who made Smash Bros.
And what is HAL? An AI.
Then if we simply remove games with an A or I in their name from Shinobi's post, you get:

Spoiler: The character revealed tomorrow

That's right. Isaac from Golden Sun is in!

 

[SpectreJordan]

Didn’t he say Home run was the last new mode?

he could make minor additions to existing modes but I don’t think that’s so fanfare worthy as he seems to be hyping up

Well, it’s been almost two years since then dies on the inside, so maybe they’ve decided to add more now?

 

[Shroob]

Welp, report and move on.

 

[Simplythe1]

I.....don't know how to respond

 

[Rie Sonomura]

um

did i miss something...?

 

[Inue Houji]

um

Nope, spam.

 

[Pillow]

Someone with an inappropriate avatar got banned.

edit: JEEZ is this thread active today

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

If the user is deleted and banned and their posts deleted it’s probably not a good idea to post and explain it to others who didn’t see it. Move on.

 

[Shroob]

What,seriously

Why would I lie about something like that.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Can we move on? I don't think anyone wants to talk about that...

 

[Ivander]

edit: JEEZ is this thread active today

I mean, it becomes pretty active in general when Nintendo gives us a date.

 

[Nekoo]

Damn you can say that it's life was of Short Length

 

[Icedragonadam]

The way I see it is that if the traditional direct is back, then there will be another one in June. But the thing is though is there could a long gap between when CP9 and the June Direct will be. Which makes me wonder if we could see CP10 in late May potentially depending on when CP9 is released. Because right now the gap between characters is shorter than Min Min and Steve now. So Volume 2 is likely to end in the summer or early fall.

So I'm thinking either two reveals in tomorrow's direct or 2 in E3 TBH. Of course there's the still the possibility of a shadowdropped Sakurai Presents as well for CP10 or 11 .

Okay, how about this:

If Nintendo wants to be cool tomorrow they could announce a new Golden Sun.

Or Advance Wars.

Either/or.

We pretend this is a hint, even though it probably isn't.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Anyway, depending who is revealed, I got an easy potential avatar setup.

Otherwise, I still got some to work with. White-Haired Pretty Girl(using Shannon Stork from Quest 64), and two OC's. All happen to be female.

 

[SneakyLink]

Moving on...

I personally want Shantae to join tomorrow, but I don't expect her to be in. Personally I don't know what to expect, we have nothing to go off of, other than "new character". So my expectation is no expectations.

I think the best thing is to hype responsibly. Of course if your most wanted gets in, go ahead and celebrate. Just remember to be polite, regardless of the outcome.

 

[Mr. Game + Watch]

Man I have not been in here in a while. Any “big time leaks” fake or real that happened since sepithroth. And is there any general consensus on what the fighter tomorrow could be?

 

[Nekoo]

Can't wait for the Fire Emblem Spin-Off known as "Advance Wars : The Emblem of Fire".
You guys think we'll get a blue haired protagonist?

Depends if we're even getting CP9 released relatively soon.


If it's held off to say, late March, then we'd be more or less on schedule.

 

[Munchi]

I don't know it's just not something I would expect to happen I guess

It's official. Master Chief is in. Pack it up boys. Also Geno fans smell like farts.

 

[TheCJBrine]

glad I didn't see that.

Oh snap did IS discover a way to make tanks datable in the game? I remember them saying that was a roadblock to future Advance Wars games.

 

[7NATOR]

I haven't been keeping up, so can someone fill me in?

I heard about this "hoho" tweet Sakurai made, what conclusions have been made about the tweet, whether it means anything and what character it could be for?

and has there also been hints made by insiders?

no insider hints yet

ppl suspect the hoho could mean:
- something more than just a character like POSSIBLY pass 3 being announced
AND/OR
- Reimu in Smash, cause he uses some words in Japanese that rhyme with "Touhou"

 

[DX_E]

How would everyone feel about an echo pack announced tomorrow? With returning stages of course.

I think we'll get a character but what if they announce something else for Smash?

 

[chocolatejr9]

I'm pretty sure they meant the characters...

Pass 3 being announced barely in the midway point....


I mean... sure, it's not impossible but like..... eh?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I think we'll get a character but what if they announce something else for Smash?

Most notably the rest of modes not in Ultimate like Boss Rush, Break the Targets, Board the Platforms, All-Star Mode, World of Light Expansion, etc.

I'm always down for more echoes. I'll buy them if the price isn't outrageous, though there aren't too many characters I want that could conceivably be echoes.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Pass 3 being announced barely in the midway point....


I mean... sure, it's not impossible but like..... eh?

i doubt it'd be a new mode as he said home run was basically the last new one, and i doubt a minor addition to an existing mode would be this fanfare-worthy

 

[Guynamednelson]

Some say it'll be because post-FP1 fighters were confirmed to be a thing after Terry, the forth fighter of FP1. But I say the announcement was done alongside Terry because he was the second-to-last fighter, not the forth.

That is clearly a confirmation that the entire AW and GS franchises are getting ported to switch and they are both getting characters in smash and new games.

what do you mean those 2 series are popular and people want them back and it's been a consistent thing since their last games?

you're also gonna tell me that Insiders and leakers are people with their own opinions and desires and they aren't always cryptic?

 

[Shroob]

i doubt it'd be a new mode as he said home run was basically the last new one, and i doubt a minor addition to an existing mode would be this fanfare-worthy

I mean, why is there fanfare, outside of him telling us to "Tune in for Smash!"


Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for Smash, but speculating on a laugh is kinda silly until we know the intention behind it, if there is any.

 

[SpecterFlower]

well that happened, anyway my most wanted is probably Arle now.

I want her to have some of her spells and other moves from mado mongatari that would be pretty cool, maybe she could steel some spell's from other puyo puyo characters, and she has to have carbuncle with her, realistically though, she would probably throw puyo's around or something like that which is a shame, i doubt there would be any mado monogatari representation at all.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Most notably the rest of modes not in Ultimate like Boss Rush, Break the Targets, Board the Platforms, All-Star Mode, World of Light Expansion, etc.

personally i think we'd get WoL very hard mode before an expansion, but lord do I want that

 

[Nekoo]

Every single direct and Smash announcements.

Even after Hero, even after Sephiroth.

Someone just call Disney and asks if he's in or not. Someone just hack Nintendo servers to put me to rest after like 5 years since the Ballot.

 

[DX_E]

If echoes sneak in, I'd love to see the Octolings and Medusa.

I have no idea who to expect tomorrow but I really want Dixie, Lara or DOOM Slayer.
