Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Inferno7]

Well, after that massacre I don't really know what to say, 2 of MWs got axed and there seems to be no hope for the rest
Don't really know who will be the last one, but I have a gut feeling that it will be very low-key or disappointing to the general audience, but I really hope that's not the case

Because they're saving him for CP11 obviously

Spoiler

Real talk it's probably because they only included the protagonists of each game for the mii costumes like Cuphead and Shantae

Not gonna lie, this would be so hype

 

[GilTheGreat19]

I rewatched Sakurai talking in Kazuya's presentation about how Smash is his life..
Honestly, I'm starting to think that he'd WANT to go out on a bang....

 

[Opossum]

I'm not even insisting that we will get an assist
Just that there's literally nothing stopping one from getting promoted to playable status because all the arguments against them are misinformed and stupid

Say it louder for folks in the back.

Even if the last character isn't an upgraded assist, it doesn't stop the arguments used against them from being actual horse ****.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Btw, I hoped next character is a non-human one.

I'm expecting it to be another human/humanoid character honestly.

Would a humanoid who can morph into a non-human creature count?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

So how many rage quits do you think lowtiergod will have against kazuya players?

 

[RouffWestie]

Oh right the presentation was today. Since today's my birthday I didn't actually make time to watch it yet. I will say that I've seen the Mii Costume selection, and I appreciate that it's just a random set of characters they were able to get thier hands on rather than a themed set. Hope the final fighter comes with something similar.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

So how many rage quits do you think lowtiergod will have against kazuya players?

Considering he rage quits against literally every character...yes.

 

[Aerospherology]

I'm expecting it to be another human/humanoid character honestly.

Waluigi time!

 

[PLATINUM7]

I get the sense our last fighter will be someone decently notable.

I can’t imagine Sakurai going on about that 10 year Cycle of Development, giving a speech about how theres only one fighter left, and revealing a bunch of fan favorites got the axe. All with full knowledge the final character is Boom Boom from the Mario series.

Unless his life's work has been to lead people on for so many years through a cycle of hype and speculation to end on making Boom Boom the most talked about video game character in history.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Would a humanoid who can morph into a non-human creature count?

No, Amaturasu or i blow up smashboards

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Depends, how many times will he fight Kazuya?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

This. The vast majority of AT characters were never going to be DLC characters regardless of their status. Heck, AT promotions are rare to begin with. For all we know, there might not be any promotion for the next game.

 

[Guynamednelson]

So how many rage quits do you think lowtiergod will have against kazuya players?

He's already ragequit from learning that the 10 hit combo is just AAAAAAAAAA.

For all we know, there might not be any promotion for the next game.

That would really ****ing suck.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Sleeper pick, I'm telling you all right now.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Last character is Rean Schwarzer, someone people will complain about as another anime swordsman, and the Mii Wave consists of Crash, Sora, Rayman, Chief and Doomguy.

The ultimate salt to send off the ultimate Smash Bros.

I don't think there will be much salt for the last Mii costume wave. We'll already know who the last character is before hand and DLC is over, so why get salty? It's not like them being a Mii costume means that we won't get them for DLC, because, you know, no more DLC.

Add that to the fact that we likely won't get another Smash for at least 4 years, and when we do get it it might be nothing like what we have now, and any Mii costume salt will come off as silly.

 

[Opossum]

I still don't see how we're 5 fighters in and people still didn't get it after Min Min.

It's almost like reading into things that aren't there is an objectively bad thing to do and you should stop doing it.

 

[Mamboo07]

I think I just got so happy at Kirby's new hat!

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Considering he rage quits against literally every character...yes.

Hes gonna be so mad at a Kazuya hitting him with a 10 hit combo in smash, hes gonna go galaxy brain and come up with brand new new racist rants and new made up words

Ok but you see Smash always ends on a low note so expecting popular characters with a decade of fan demand like Isaac means you're an idiot who has been consumed by the hype parasite

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Oh my goodness. I just remembered that tilt stick is a thing. After an adjustment period, this will probably save Kazuya from being misinputs, the character.

 

[Knight Dude]

Ahem. A poem.

RIP my homie Dante.
RIP my homie Shantae.
Kaz has a Jin alt, so that's the one I'll play.

 

[slrigeigdew]

The big takeaway from this presentation is that Capcom is still getting content even after all their Mii Costumes from 4 were exhausted, potentially meaning they could get the last spot in the roster. Phoenix Wright is the frontrunner after what happened to Dante (many condolences to people who wanted him).

Kazuya actually made me think Dante was more likely for a while since his moveset would be just as detailed as his if not more. Happy our boy Nick still has a fighting chance even after all this time. As expected of the Comeback King!

If Smash Ultimate is going to end on a low note then Dixie is disconfirmed.

 

[CannonStreak]

Now that I think about it, we don't need the face of a series character, main character or poster character to get in a Smash game first over others. First, we got Min Min over Spring Man, who can arguably be said to be the poster boy for ARMS, then we got Pyra and Mythra over Rex, the main character of Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and now we have Kazuya over Heihachi, who is said to be the main face of the series. You know what I am saying here?

I agree with ya.

 

[Guynamednelson]

It always had a main trio of Kazuya, Heihachi, and Jin.

If Smash Ultimate is going to end on a low note then Dixie is disconfirmed.

Dixie is a low note because this is the pass that had Steve and Sephiroth, not the base game that had Ridley and K. Rool. How many times do I have to say this?

Even if the last character isn't an upgraded assist, it doesn't stop the arguments used against them from being actual horse ****.

Until I see a current assist trophy upgraded to playable status in the same game it's been introduced, I will firmly believe that being an assist trophy means you are not a contender for being a fighter. I honestly do not care how often that reasoning is called stupid or garbage; as far as I see it, holding hope that a trophy still has a chance to be playable seems like the epitome of false hope to me.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Anyone expecting an assist promotion at this point are setting themselves up for disappointment. Especially when there are hundreds of characters not yet in the game in any form that could be chosen.

You know what I am saying here?

The first was due to a producer's request, the second was due to technical limitations, and the third was because Heihachi didn't have a flashy enough moveset.

Hmm...Is it just me or did 10 Hit Combo look like it straight up doesn't work with DI? Like, Sakurai landed a hit or two of it a few times and they almost immediately popped out.

Yeah, sure. Well, during Smash 4's development, at least Sakurai considered Heihachi. Not that it means anything.

 

[slrigeigdew]

At this point my biggest fear isn't that we won't get a Capcom character, it's that we'll get one with plenty of content already in Smash (i.e. Megaman,Monster Hunter,etc.) I'd be fine with anyone else even if it's not Phoenix Wright.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

At any rate, whomever the last character is

BETTER, I say BETTER have that “Final Battle” themed trailer vs both Galeem AND Dharkon

 

[Guynamednelson]

10 hit combos suck in Tekken, so it's accurate.

 

[chocolatejr9]

Welp, we've past Fighter 10, and STILL no Dragalia Lost content. I said I would...

inhales deeply

EUDEN IS FIGHTER 11 AND NOTHING WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE DRAGON!!!!!!!!

 

[GilTheGreat19]

It's a shame that it's the first parties that don't get as much hype.
While I myself prefer third parties as well, I can't ignore the importance of first parties. Smash started out as a Nintendo All Stars game.

 

[zeldasmash]

I really wanna say Master Chief, but with Steve really decreasing his chances and after Dante getting shafted, I'm not getting my hopes up

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

So out of curiosity? What would make you guys think we'd get an assist promotion this late into the game especially with Ultimate coming to an end?

Yes spirits are brought up but I find those to be different from assists being they're just JREG images as oppose to actual character models and not once had we gotten assist promotions in the previous games aside from characters who were previous assists in previous games before being playable in the next game.

Just saying if we were gonna get assist promotions we would have gotten some a lot earlier. At this point we only have one slot left.

Thing is, Sephiroth was our 8th CP. Yet, he was also the first 2nd Unique charcter from a 3D Party Series.

Then, we went the past 10 Challenger packs assuming Mii Costumes deconfirmed series and Companies. And now we have Kazuya.

Breaking these boundaries took forever. So I don’t see an assist promotion as being off the table. I don’t think its likely, but I don’t think its the crackpot conspiracy that its sometimes made out to be.

 

[CannonStreak]

The first was due to a producer's request, the second was due to technical limitations, and the third was because Heihachi didn't have a flashy enough moveset.

Still, my point kinda stands. Since they were added, that proves that such characters are not needed.

Anyone expecting an assist promotion at this point are setting themselves up for disappointment. Especially when there are hundreds of characters not yet in the game in any form that could be chosen.

Will you please knock it off with what you're saying about assist promotions? That has gotten old, and you should have no problem letting people believe or hope.
