Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[N3ON]

It just hit me that there is Advent Children music in Smash. Which I believe is the first time we've had non video game music added? Perhaps someone can correct me if there are other instances of it.

Ai no Uta was a tie-in promotional single for Pikmin but wasn't used in the actual games.

Also the Tetris themes are repurposed Russian folk music.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Thinking about, I guess the BotW trailer theme counts too as it wasn't used in BotW.

 

[Awkwah]

Oh boy I get to talk about Geno here now! Very cool and I hope he still comes in the game.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Oh boy I get to talk about Geno here now! Very cool and I hope he still comes in the game.

Me too. But we got to stay strong brother and hope the wind sails in our direction again:

I could be wrong but I believe so. Then again the Tetris theme is a Russian folksong so I guess you could count that as a non-video game song, although that's a public domain thing.

Edit: I don't know how I missed that people answered this question before me. I'm just tired I guess.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

With Advent Children music in Smash, now I want to see the various instrumentals from the Pokemon Anime more than ever. Obviously the regular music is region dependent, but these are at least in every version of the show, not specific to a region.

Like this one. Kanto Gym(Intense Action).

 

[Inue Houji]

So the Geno thread got closed, huh. End of an era I suppose.
Why was Fatman banned though?

 

[Urso_Ornitier]

Oh boy I get to talk about Geno here now! Very cool and I hope he still comes in the game.

I didn’t even get a Geno hat yet! Haha

I am also on the board for Geno and still hold hope. I haven’t really thought about others behind him though. Hmmm... time to put my thinking cap on.

Hi! Just wanted to come back in and say I did some more math stuffs. However, this time, I used math to gauge Fighter 9's potential background colors. This is the results I got.

Spoiler: All Potential Colors for Fighter 9 Using Math

View attachment 296740

If you're wondering how I did it, here's an explanation.

Spoiler: Explanation

• I ratioed the RGB values of each DLC character background. The DLC character that releases after another has its value in the numerator, while the predecessor is in the denominator. So, essentially DLC2/DLC1.
• I then document the current average, along with all the past averages.
• This is important, because I take all the past averages, including the current one, and make it my Y-axis. The X-axis then represents the number of terms being divided in that specific average.
• I then map a function to it that is the closest match to the data.
• From there, my goal is to figure out how that average might evolve over time using the function.
• I then plug that average into the average equation I want to use, and work backwards to find my values.

So... basically, what does this mean? Well, statistically speaking, it seems like Fighter 9 could be trending towards a Green or Blue background, based on past data.

In terms of character speculation though? I'd say... not much since this will most likely be wrong I imagine. But, hey, this was fun to do! Let me know what you guys think!

holy **** dream confirmed.

he's steve but it takes him 1/6th the time to get to diamond (completely by luck)

 

[Deleted member]

I'm hoping at least one of the 3 remaining spots are one of my most wanted but no sweat if it isn't.

But just imagine....

As it is not really speculation, I would redirect you to the geno thread AND if you have further questions a mod.

For no good reason I'm sure.

 

[Technomage]

Any thoughts on who the last 3 DLC fighters could be?

 

[Eldrake]

There was a Gordon Freeman discussion lasting multiple pages in this thread and I completely missed it!?

Oh well, at least this thread talked about Gordon.

 

[PeridotGX]

Any thoughts on who the last 3 DLC fighters could be?

Frisk, Isaac (Golden Sun), Mimikyu.

yes, i am aware that this sounds insane.

 

[Sari]

Any thoughts on who the last 3 DLC fighters could be?

Hard to say exactly who they could all be but I'm still confident that Rex is happening.

 

[Awkwah]

I personally would want Buzzwole (UB Rep), Ahri, and Hades (KI)

I haven't a clue ¯\(ツ)/¯

really as long as they're fun to play/my most wants I'm cool.

CULTURE

anyway, still backing KOS-MOS, Reimu and Crash for the remainder of this particular pass.

I am indeed implying a pass 3

 

[Deleted member]

Frisk

I'd personally go for like Mettaton but Undertale getting a non-mii fighter would be sweet.

Also excellent taste

Undyne who?

can I get an f in the chat for my boi Asgore tho

 

[3BitSaurus]

Well, considering two of my MWs got murdered by Sephiroth (with one of them depending on an unlikely third pass for their chances), the ones I have left would be...

1. Sora (technically not fully disconfirmed... as always)
2. Ahri (though most other LoL reps would make me happy)
3. Phoenix Wright
4. Arle
5. Crash

Again, this is disconsidering any characters that got murdered along the way (Kyo, Bomberman, Rayman and such).

Just wondering why do you consider Rayman deconfirmed?

 

[Eldrake]

Since I now have an excuse to post about this hypothetical event...

Imagine watching a Nintendo Direct in 2021 when it gets to the very end and they go "But before we leave, we have one more thing to show you." and then when the screen fades to black, the very first seconds of the one more thing starts with the sound of "Rise and shine, Mister Freeman.".

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

everytime I see someone say their character was killed by Spehiroth, I just imagine them dressed as Aerith

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

It'll be interesting to see if the final roster of characters for the second pass holds to the "appeared as a character in a Nintendo system game" and if so how that might affect speculation for potential future DLC and Smash games. Realistically such a condition is probably not a dealbreaker for whom gets selected, but even with tenuous examples ala Cloud and Joker, the pattern has thus far held.

 

[3BitSaurus]

Just wondering why do you consider Rayman deconfirmed?

Personally I just don't see him being upgraded from his Spirit status. Ubisoft themselves have pushed for him twice and it didn't happen - considering his series' japanese status (...or lack thereof) and the fact that he was put into Brawlhalla pretty much right before Ultimate launched (Brawlhalla's company is owned by Ubi) is also a big red flag.

Admittedly, it could happen, but in his case I'm taking it more like a "chances are so low I'd rather not expect anything". Like I also do with Klonoa.

i think ahri would be the worst case scenario for a league character besides yasuo but i can see why people want her.

 

[mariofan48]

He's not deconfirmed, he's in the same spot as Min Min was before she was added. He's definitely one of the more likely candidates.

Anyone who thinks he's unlikely is just wrong.

I always imagined that a Gordon reveal would involve G-man in some way. Considering he's the time lord wizard of the series and he's Gordon's (former) official boss. Side note but I also picture G-man as the legendary spirit that comes with Gordon's pass.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Also can I just say that Sakurai telling people they are talking about a 20 y/o game when it came to spoilers was great. Like, he was just like "F that"

 

[3BitSaurus]

To be fair, 2B dressed as Aerith isn't that bizarre a sight.

Geno, on the other hand...

Wait, why? I can see some people disliking the moveset, because no moveset appeals to everyone, but I think it's nowhere near comparable to Yasuo's sheer infamy within League.

I've had a few ideas for a Gordon reveal trailer myself, one of which would have the Einstein (or, heh, Coomer as some would call him) NPC scientist be saved from a headcrab by the Inkling girl or Samus (because orange shooters) in the nick of time.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Any thoughts on who the last 3 DLC fighters could be?

Fine I'll make some character predictions.

I think Sora is still coming despite Sephiroth appearing. He most likely could be Fighter 11 if Disney wanted him in at the 11th hour.

Crash Bandicoot to me is a no brainer pick. I'd be a little surprised if he didn't show up.

As for the last fighter, I'm just saving my last prediction slot for Sgt. Cortez because that's what I do.

Time to Split!

Dammit man you got me imagining Neku crossdressing in Aerith’s clothes

NOT MY BOY.

also re: your LoL part-
Yasuo: is currently the most infamous champion
Seraphine: hold my soda

IDK, Ahri would fill the mage role we are lacking a bit in Smash. Yasuo would be as the cool kids say:

Anime Swordfighter

Eh...I really disagree that he's likely. I truly don't think we'll get an Ubisoft character. Having their two largest franchises, Assassin's Creed and Rabbids, get brand new Post Release Mii Costumes at the same time really isn't doing them any favors. I feel like they'd come with an Ubisoft character.

Neku already crossdresses, he even has a gothic lolita headband and a Chinese dress as Neku-exclusive clothing
