Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Perkilator]

Okay, after watching this video:

THESE Characters are DISCONFIRMED for SMASH BROS DLC

When it comes to smash bros dlc speculation most people look at who still in the running, so i thought it'd be a fun idea to look at every character seemingl...

www.youtube.com

I gotta ask: How would y'all rate the chances of each character being deconfirmed (on a percentage-based point system)?

I’m sorry, but when was Eggman ever disconfirmed?

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

Hey, my old main is my image!

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Is this a SSF1 reference?

Yeah. Blade was one of the two original characters in the game. I felt like making an April Fools joke, but didn't want to type out as much because my fingers have begun to hurt again, and what better way to do shorten it than with a character that doesn't have a full moveset?

 

[DarthEnderX]

Yeah. Blade was one of the two original characters in the game.

I know, I just wanted to know if that's who you meant, since you didn't post an image.

 

[7NATOR]

Geno and Waluigi

Aren't you the guy that talked to Vergeben right, and had Inside info or something like that. Wonder what made you mention these 2

I’m sorry, but when was Eggman ever disconfirmed?

I'm guessing he was taking Mike's Pollocks statements as a Deconfirm. As someone that has alot to gain from Eggman being deconfirmed, even I can't safely say Pollocks statement rules him out, but I could see the argument since one could argue Pollock wouldn't have mentioned Smash if he was in it, since Pollock says if he's on an Unannounced project, he wouldn't want to talk about it

 

[Idon]

Or someone who thinks characters are more than just a collection of gameplay functions.

Yeah, and the characters we got are more than gameplay functions.

Insane to think that a franchise with as large a legacy as Dragon Ball, people like specific versions of characters of specific characters.

 

[Ivander]

Fire Emblem Heroes: Dancing All Night confirmed.

I swear, sometime and somewhere, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have upgraded their ****posting skills. Official Nintendo staff made these Official 3D models for an fully animated MMD-style Dance video, just for April Fools.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I’m sorry, but when was Eggman ever disconfirmed?

Well you see, Eggman got pretty damn popular since December, so by lying about a popular character on the thumbnail, people will be curious and click on it

 

[TheCJBrine]

Wouldn’t be the first time Blocked Content lied for clickbait, or maybe I’m thinking of LaxChris idk.

edit: woops I must’ve been tired or misread stuff or something, that ain’t Blocked Content. Sorry, dudes.

 

[Merengue]

Random thought, if another jrpg character that isn't anime like Porky from Earthbound is the next character in the pass, will people even realize that he is a JRPG character because he doesn't pass the anime and swordsmen check.

I have no idea who this is

When Lex Luthor and The Flash swap brains, Lex tries to make the best out of a bad situation.

Yes. If people can find a reason to complain, they will.

That's Janemba

He was the main Villain of one of Dragon Ball Z's many Movies, this one in particular being Fusion Reborn

He's pretty much a Physical manifestation of all the Evil that is trapped in Hell. The form you see in the avatar is also be Evolved form, he used to be a Giant yellow fat thing before

He has a Sword and can create rifts in Time and Space. He was defeated by the Fusion of Goku and Vegeta, Gogeta

 

[SharkLord]

Aaaaand Dragon Ball FighterZ is gone.

I almost wish there was a way to go back to old April Fools skins, if only for yourself.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's only a boring JRPG anime swordsman if I don't like them, if I do like them, they're a long time request who deserves to be in the game

 

[ZelDan]

Wow I just suddenly inexplicably lost any interest I previously had in the Dragon Ball franchise. Weird how that happens.

Well, I mean, there's also a high possibility that Pollock wouldn't know in the first place. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (and Wii U/3DS) uses Archived Audio of Roger Craig Smith's Sonic from Sonic Generations and other games (along with the old drowning sound by Jason Griffith used in Brawl), so if Dr. Eggman were to appear, its entirely possible that he would just use Archived Audio of Pollock's years upon years of Dr. Eggman voice work from Shadow the Hedgehog to Today, in which case they would have absolutely no reason to contact Pollock about Eggman in Smash in the first place, it would just be another person that would know the identity of a DLC character, and one that wouldn't need to know at that, something I'm sure Sakurai and Nintendo want to keep to an absolute minimum.

People often forget about the high possibility of Archived Audio (heck, Mario & Luigi used Archived Audio from Super Mario 64 in Smash 64 and Melee, just pitched up for Luigi)

 

[Mushroomguy12]

You can always change your avatar back to Goku or any other Dragon Ball character.

In all seriousness though it would be nice if there was an archive of all the old April Fools Avatars (e.g. all the different Reggie avatars from Reggieboards, all the different Crash avatars from Crashboards, and all the different Dragon Ball avatars from FighterZboards).

Insane to think that a franchise with as large a legacy as Dragon Ball, people like ANY version of the many characters that don't get to be in the game at all because there are 10 Gokus.

You know. People who might want to see a Raditz before that 9th Goku. Or a Gero before that 8th Goku. Or a Dabura before that 7th Goku. Or a Toppo before that 5th Vegeta.

 

[SpectreJordan]

Man, the Hunter couldn’t even become a spirit? That’s really weird.

 

[Mamboo07]

Man, the Hunter couldn’t even become a spirit? That’s really weird.

Probably because the creators of Monster Hunter prefers the monsters themselves?

And we have had a dozen other characters that ARE unique and popular on top of the Gokus and Vegeta that are equally unique and popular?

Perhaps you've forgotten they've also added Broly, Bardock, Vegito, Zamasu, Cooler, Android 17, Videl, Janemba, Jiren, Super Broly, Gogeta, Kefla, Roshi, and Baby as well. The rest of the the Gokus and Vegetas they did add actually are popular and/or represent huge or iconic parts of the series. Even Gogeta SS4 is a huge love letter to DBZ games of the past and the single "guy with SS4 form" that people have been clamoring for since the start of the game.

Personally speaking I wouldn't have added Saiyan Saga Goku/Vegeta, but even I can see that that saga is iconic and why they obviously would get chosen over their peers like Zarbon or whatever.

Man, I really come across as hating Isaac lately, I know this is a joke but it wouldn't be the first time I come across like that lmao.



As for the functions VS character argument here, DBFZ celebrates Dragon Ball whereas Smash celebrated Nintendo and then gaming, I don't think comparisons are entirely fair as having 2 teams of completely different Gokus isn't the same as having Mario, Mario but he uses Tennis moves, Paper Mario, Mario but he has Luigi fight alongside him a la Ice Climbers, Mario in a Kart, etc.

Why do you hate Isaac?
(No, not the one who shoots tears in a basement full of monsters.)

I feel indifferent to Isaac, I just come across as hating him surprisingly often

After this statement our last two characters will be Paper Mario and Bad Boxart Megaman

I really liked the Golden Sun series (Even Dark Dawn) but man can I just say Isaac has like really lame character design?

His animations and pixel art are really cool in the game itself, but when you put him into a 3D environment, he just kinda... is eh.
For as much hate Dark Dawn gets, damn are those character designs on point.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

So what’d I miss yesterday aside from the DBFZ prank?

and the MHR Spirit Event?

Yeah, Isaac's design hasn't really aged well. I guess it's just a remnant of its time (it's almost 20 years since the original GS) as there really has been no need to redesign it so far. That said, should GS get remade or a new game happen with Isaac in it or Isaac in Smash, I think his design would probably be "modernized" at least a bit, as seen with Dark Dawn already.

 

[The Rhythm Theif]

So yeah, When's Dabura and Uub for FighterZ?

When's Super 17 for FighterZ?

 

[Lamperouge]

So what’d I miss yesterday aside from the DBFZ prank?

Anakin Skywalker is our next DLC character.

 

[Dinoman96]

Monster Hunter may of not gotten a character this game, but it's still done pretty well for a secondary universe in Smash.

• two Mii costume sets, and a new hat
• a boss battle in the single-player modes, that's also an assist trophy in the main game
• a segment in World of Light
• two music tracks
• there's now multiple spirits instead of just Rathalos

 

[Deleted member]

Been playing Mario and Rabbids and I gotta say, this game kind of made me like the Rabbids? Like what I never thought I’d say that even after seeing other people say the exact same thing. Also they really made Mario a Fire Emblem lord huh? Crap movement on a character you’re forced to deploy is so sad.

Monster Hunter’s 2nd death reminds me more of how many good Capcom characters there are. In some godawful alternate timeline they become a Nintendo subsidiary and Sakurai is forced to make an FP3 consisting entirely of Capcom characters.

Doesn't sound so bad to me...

I would never expect something like this to be an official video

When was he ever confirmed?
You cant be deconfimed if you were never confirmed

If it makes you feel better, Capcom is one of those companies where it would at least make sense if Nintendo randomly decided to buy them. They got the history, at least...

Crap movement

Isn't Mario the one who can get all the way across the battlefield with a single team jump?

Funny that you say that. Capcom, alongside Square Enix and Bamco, are the companies where you can make a fighter pass out of just characters from one of those companies and every single character would be unique. I mean even in terms of Capcom characters with zero representation you still have:

• Phoenix Wright
• Dante
• Frank West
• Mike Haggar
• Amaterasu
• Morrigan
• Viewtiful Joe
• Technically Firebrand since he has his own series but technically not since he is a part of the Ghosts n Goblins series

Either way, ignoring the likelihood of many of these characters, there is a very good fighters pass right there.
