Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Guynamednelson]

With now MinMin and Pyra/Mythra, looks like our early day speculation of "Gen 7 Pokemon, ARMs rep, and XB2 rep" finally came true.

Just in...different ways.

Also aren't you gonna ****post about Fire Theory since we got Pyra?

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Welcome back, everyone. How bout that Pyra/Mythra?

Sword users I don't care about.

And on top of that, I stayed starving throughout the whole direct. Stubbs on Switch was cool but it ain't one of my most favourite games.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

Damn Terry is really gonna be the last smash dlc i cared about at this point lol

 

[CureParfait]

Welcome back, everyone. How bout that Pyra/Mythra?

It was a very pleasant surprise

 

[Ridrool64]

Let's shoddily guess Rex & Pyra's, or should I say, not Rex but Pyra and Mythra's Mii Costumes!

1. Rex himself is available for standalone purchase now.
2. Elma from Xenoblade X
3. Lora from Torna
4. Lloyd Irving goes to the grave.
5. KOS-MOS goes to the grave.
6. Another killed off third party. Not one too many people expected, but one that was certainly present.

Oof to Mr. Smash Math.

"Base game leftovers pass" theory still intact btw

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

I know some people will be disappointed at Pyra & Mythra, but there's some excited people too.
Here's BlunZ and Enel's reactions.

 

[toonito]

Pythra.

or Myra

 

[Gyrom8]

Ok but when we getting a Mario Golf costume for Wario in Smash

He drip

 

[Ben Holt]

Since Pyra and Mythra are main characters. The protagonist first rule hasn't been broken right?

ARMS doesn't count since everyone is the protagonist.

That's a Min Min sized stretch right there.

I unironically wanted Mythra without Rex so this is an absolute win.

....wait, hold the phone....

 

[Deleted member]

So protagonist first rule broken then?

Pyra and Mythra are the protagonists though? XC2 is their story; Rex is along for the ride. All 3 are the main protagonists.

 

[BernkastelWitch]

All I hope for over this is that the characters who were in the fake leaks still get some support and not being made into a punching bag. I know Reimu and KOS-MOS are unlikely but I saw some people who are using Pyra & Mythra on like Twitter as an excuse to mock and make fun of people who wanted them.


But in all seriousness...


I have mixed feelings on XB2 but I like Pyra & Mythra. I don't care for Rex so admittedly I am glad he's sidelined. I wasn't expecting to see the Blades solo without Rex but I ain't complaining.

I want to see how they play though.

 

[Knight Dude]

That said, 80% of Zelda fans are punching the air right now.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Still no pallet swaps. Guess we gotta wait until march for those.

That awful mario drawing on the right is really funny

 

[Will]

On one hand, this is genius because it uses basically a Rex moveset, without the Rex.

One the other, it still means I was totally right that Rex couldn't make it in.

Either way I'm ****ing sleep, but it was inevitable a bad take was going to hit the pass. I'll just wait for the next guy, maybe summer will wake me up.

I'd be actually surprised if KOS-MOS doesn't get a mii costume with this pack. She already appears in XC2 as a cameo and Bamco already works on Smash. Sure Bamco shot down the idea of a Xenosaga remaster but they still see value in the character and have crossed her over whenever they can.

 

[Cosmic77]

Just wanted to point out that because we let Pearl win the final Splatfest in Splatoon 2, the whole city of Inkopolis got destroyed.

would you rather everyone be brainwashed slaves with surveillance everywhere? just sayin', thats what woulda happened if Order won

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

I do find it funny that instead of changing Pyra's shorts slightly, they gave her tights.

 

[Speed Weed]

What? This was just a question I wanted to know.

With all honesty, the constant "haha rex just like spring man and chrom amirite guys" was startin to get a little annoying

Prolly shouldn't have lashed out like that, though. Apologies

 

[JOJONumber691]

Considering the Precedent of New Fighters from Games After Smash's Release would've been disproven in FP1, I'm thinking our only Third Party left is Ryu Hayabusa. I hope I'm wrong about this, but I'm probably not considering how Hayabusa still has all of his current evidence, but if he gets Mii'd I'm going to go full DFO Mode when it comes to Smash Speculation considering that's the Third Party I think is most likely after Ryu Hayabusa.

 

[AreJay25]

I find it pretty hilarious how we ended up getting Splatoon 3 on the Switch before Mario Kart 9

I ain't complaining, but how the hell has MK8 not gotten a proper sequel yet lmao

That's fair and no worries. Guess to some its a joke that ran its course.

It's really cute how Enel doesn't realize this is for Smash and not a new Xenoblade 2 story until the last minute You can tell he's a Xeno fan first and foremost

 

[Inue Houji]

I do find it funny that instead of changing Pyra's shorts slightly, they gave her tights.

Gotta keep the one reason anyone would ever like her design.

 

[SirBillyBob]

Now that Mario Golf got announced, be wary of folks predicting Waluigi as a shill pick for it.
Cause you know it will happen.

Good job, everyone...

This is why Marina is better.

PORKY GANG. RISE.

 

[SKX31]

Okay, so my thoughts on Mythril Pyrotechnician, the character:

* At first I got the impression that this was the return of Zelda / Shiek. Apparently they do share some normals, but we'll simply have to see how much they share.

* I'm going to go on a limb here and say: same general rules as for any swordie. It's difficult to tell how they'd play without seeing the Sakurai Presents just yet, but chances are pretty good that they'll be much more in-your-face and perhaps have Specials that encourage mind games and switching consistently between the two. Some of those are going to be commital, which is where the normals likely come in to cover those. Another weakness might be that they're somewhat tall but also light - probably not as light as and though.

* As someone who's never played XC2 or any XC game, I'm going to base my opinions of them entirely on if the duo can out-hype Shulk in gameplay. Or have some disrespectful kill option off stage like the DBZ teleports Mythra does (The Photon Edge).


* Nah seriously, good for Sakurai and co. to bring a twist. A ton of people were expecting Rex like crazy, and I'm presuming that Sakurai had a good reason why he's "relegated" to FS material. Going out on another limb here, he tried to imagine Rex + Pyra, but couldn't get the modelling to work.

RIP Rex and Elma though. Gone but never forgotten.

I'd need to see her next to Peach but yeah she seems to be tanned again

 

[Knight Dude]

I think I can speak for all of us that we're now waiting for the Stubbs the Zombie Mii Costume.

would you rather everyone be brainwashed slaves with surveillance everywhere? just sayin', thats what woulda happened if Order won

Oh right, you either had to choose Squid of the North Star or Splat Runner for the next game.

 

[Shroob]

It was just a joke, a harmless joke, a jab at all the dumb theories I saw posted all the time.


I jokingly suggested one night, "Hey, since the Fighter Pass 2 logo is on fire, maybe everyone uses fire in some way?"

It all started with Min Min...

Then Steve....

Then... Sephiroth...

AND NOW.......AND NOW......

DIOS MIOS

This ****ing guy, lol. Either I just don't get it or they must've been light on available contractors when XB2 was assembling their art team. xD
