Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Þe 1 → Way]

All right, we’ll know soon all about Pyra and Mythra. Time for another night of attempted sleep. Enjoy the presents!

 

[Shroob]

These 2(3?) slots are at the very least an interesting talking point to keep us busy for....


7 and a half hours oh god I gotta stay up for another 7 and a half hours.

Or you can just go to bed and get 7 hours of sleep before waking up to this ****

Going to bed is a thing smart people do.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Going to bed is a thing smart people do.

You wanna be smart don't you? Even dumbasses can sleep like logs. I will never understand this obsession with staying up all night for a presentation people seem to have in general

 

[PLATINUM7]

Going to bed is a thing smart people do.

Or knocked out people.

This is for your own good Shroob.

 

[Polan]

why are there so many guests

 

[PSIGuy]

Me: I'm not staying up for this crap, it's at 1AM
Also Me: can't get to sleep, looks at phone, sees it's 1AM, watches live anyways

 

[Cutie Gwen]

why are there so many guests

I'm guessing they're excited and want to see what others think, maybe they think there was a leak and are looking. I know I sometimes lurk forums as a guest when something happens involvinf a game I like

Here's a little game while we wait for Sakurai's presentation:
If you had to pick four video games to get a stage without a fighter, what would you choose?

For me, I would go with these:

Spoiler: What I would pick

• Dante's Inferno - The 9 Circles (Travel down to each circle of H*ll itself starting from Limbo to Treachery.)
• DOOM - Necropolis (Fight amongst the burning city and demons.)
• Twisted Metal - Blackrock Stadium (Duke out in a stadium with vehicles driving around.)
• Left 4 Dead - Mercy Hospital (Battle through an overrun hospital invaded by the infected.)

Note: Bold are the stages

Mine would be

• Tetris
• Aperture Science
• Skyrim
• Silent Hill

Raccoon City and Anor Londo would also be cool, but I went with stages where I wouldn't actually want a character that much.

Spoiler: I've been thinking of some for a while! Here goes nothing...

Lobotomy Corporation (Random departments means random Abnormalities to survive)
Viva Piñata - Piñata Central (A Vibrant, constantly randomized stage with various Piñata spectating in the background, with the occasional Ruffian appearance)

... honestly, I can't really tell if already-repped franchises are allowed on this sort of thing...

 

[Takasmash]

I'm still surprise Tetris stage is not in Smash Ultimate man I want that to be a thing sense I even knew about Tetris.

there's some good ones in custom stages

 

[MBRedboy31]

Personally, if it weren't a licensing and graphical pain, I'd specifically like to see a Tetris Effect stage where all players' controller inputs contribute to the background music, like in Effect itself. There would be additional visuals for every time someone is KO'ed, and the stage background would change as the match nears its end. It'd still have the same gameplay as a more generic Tetris stage, but with the extra flair.

 

[Deleted member]

Guessing the extra website slots are for Rex being freed from bundle jail & announcing whatever his replacement ends up being. I hope one of the is a boss rush mode or the Galeem/Dharkon stage though.

-

The too many swordies thing isn’t Sakurai’s fault. We all know Smash is a reflection of the industry, and swords are a really common weapon in games so it’s not surprising we have a lot. It’s the inverse of the lack of women and minority characters in the game and industry as a whole, which is an actual problem.

So... I couldn't sleep. Which means... I decided to project background colors for Fighter 11 next.

Note: Future colors are highly dependent on past data. So the less solid data there is, the more multiple timelines become possible.

Which means, in an effort to simplify things, I decided to narrow my field with the assumption of one future. That the yellow color in my previous minimal projection was Fighter 10's colors.

Why did I choose this color specifically? Well...uh... I didn't want to do that much math at 3am . So I decided... why not the one in the middle as a basis? lol

Plus, this result I got for Fighter 11 is also the middle color. So this is far from the full results. But... either way, here's what I got!

Spoiler

so yes, kirby finally confirmed

Pink? This means we're getting Birdo as our final fighter.

Backseat Game Dev in shambles

 

[Idon]

Can the next DLC fighter be a mellowed out beige for once?

Huh. So this is in only if yellow is the chosen color out of the 3 you gave last time, yes? Curious about what we could see for the other 2.

Tetris - between Tetris 99, the Tetris spirit event, and Tetris music being in Smash for several games now, I'm surprised we don't have a Tetris stage already.

Urban Streets (Urban Champion) - I don't really see an Urban Champion character being all that interesting, but I'm surprised it doesn't have a stage. Maybe it's too similar to Wrecking Crew aesthetically?

Ehn'gha (Eternal Darkness) - even if we don't get a character, and any stage definitely wouldn't be competitively legal, I'd love to see how the development team would incorporate sanity effects into an Eternal Darkness stage.

Blossom City (The Wonderful 101) - while Wonder Red as a playable character would be ideal, I feel like his ship has sailed for Smash in general. Even without him, a stage that tours the setting of the Wonderful 101 and captures the over-the-top setpieces of the game would be amazing.

An hour and a half to go. Y'all ready!?

I'm here.

I shouldn't be here, but I'm here.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'm here.

How will you feel when you fall asleep 5 minutes before the presentation starts?

 

[Shroob]

Can't say I went down without a fight.

 

[Deleted member]

Man, what time is this airing for all of you that you need to fight off sleep? It's going to be 9:am for me, so I'll be sitting bored at work and will be able to just silently stream it lol.

Live in Ontario of Canada. Airing at 9 in the morning for me.

I live in the UK so it's almost 1pm.

6 am, its currently 5 in the morning.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

60 minutes to go.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Man, what I'd do for a Malos echo fighter..

 

[PeridotGX]

I probably won't be able to watch the presentation live, the teacher for the class I'm in when the presents is on is really strict on phones.

 

[Deleted member]

6 am, its currently 5 in the morning.

6AM? The West Coast, huh? Gotta say, it probably would have been easier just to go to bed early and set an alarm to wake yourself up to watch it lol.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Mii predictions

Elma ( ), Hollow Knight (; Deluxe), KOS-MOS (), Lora (), Lloyd (), and Zeke ()

 

[DarkFalcon]

There is a LOT of music I hope makes the cut, but one track that's more under the radar that I really want is the Giga Rosa song. It's a really fun banger.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

I noticed that the website had a new update. It's labelled as 2130. The latest update item I can find is the notice for Version 10.1.0, which is labelled as 2117. Usually, the skipped items would be filled like this:

2118 Version 11.0.0 Coming Soon
2119 Software update available: Ver. 11.0.0
2120 Pyra/Mythra Challenger Pack Available for Purchase
2121 Fighters Pass Vol. 2 available for purchase! (Content update ④)
2122 Mii Costume 1
2123 Mii Costume 2
2124 Mii Costume 3
2125 Mii Costume 4
2126 Mii Costume 5
2127 Mii Costume 6
2128
2129
2130 Exclusive offer for Nintendo Switch Online members

I'm not sure what these two leftover items are. There hasn't been any Mii Costume wave with more than six costumes, right? I wonder if we're getting something like the Sephiroth Challenge tomorrow.

Huh huh huh


It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
