Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[Evil Trapezium]

I'm taking everything SamusHunter says with a grain of salt, as we all should.

You guys don't want another Sabi situation, do you?

A grain of salt? Dude you should chuck it over your left shoulder instead. Not only will it stop you from getting bad luck but it will also help you ignore people who act like they have Smash info.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

As a leaker, I can tell you that the next character has normals used with the A button and special moves with the B button, they can also shield and jump.

Jokes on you, the next character plays like Min Min.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

I’ve talked with some very credible sources and can definitively say the next character will in fact be playable.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Jokes on you, the next character plays like Min Min.

Ah but you see, that still describes Min Min somewhat as it isn't all bull**** so the ground I walk on must be worshipped

Does any of you know have any info on whether the last character might be able to grab other characters?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yes, in fact, down throw is a combo throw

 

[chocolatejr9]

Look at that, you have more credibility than Vergeben and the gang now!


Rie Sonomura ye, we shall move onward

Does this mean we're going on a quest?

Sorry, had to.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

If Gwen's really a leaker...
Can she tell us if the next character will have 7 alternate colors?
Checkmate.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Does any of you know have any info on whether the last character might be able to grab other characters?

Yes, they can. Unless of course, they can’t.
But they will…maybe…

A bit of a bonus leak. CP11 will in fact be announced and released, this year.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Yes, they can. Unless of course, they can’t.

We started this pass with ARMS and we're ending with NO ARMS so it must be Rayman

it's all so poetic..

 

[FreeFox]

No arms?!
I think I know which character it is:

 

[Rie Sonomura]

oh oh also

CP11 will come with a stage, music, and Spirit Board.

 

[Ivander]

I mean, if it isn't different.... I don't really know why they would make an AT just for Fire Emblem.

To allow people to see some of their favorite characters that wouldn't have a chance of getting in the first place. With Fire Emblem playable characters being focused on the leads, a Fire Emblem AT would allow non-lead characters, as well as some elements that help make up Fire Emblem's gameplay, to appear in Smash.

• Like a Pegasus Knight like Caeda or the Whitewing Sisters doing their Triangle Attack.
• Or a Beast unit like the Laguz from the Radiance games or the Taguel from Awakening.
• Or a Dancer that buffs your character, like Azura or Ninian.
• Or an Assassin character like Jaffer that uses the special skill Lethality which is a one-hit kill in Fire Emblem, but could be a very powerful attack in Smash.

A Fire Emblem AT item wouldn't be that much different from an AT or Pokeball, but considering that the Fire Emblem games have a huge cast of characters per game with only the leads really having a chance as playable characters, seeing the non-lead characters as Assists would be great for those who want to see some of their favorite characters or classes in Smash, and showcase some cool stuff from FE to Smash players who don't know Fire Emblem that the lead characters wouldn't show off, like Fire Emblem's version of a Werewolf.

Some Nintendo news.

The amount is relatively modest compared to the amount that a lot of western company CEOs get even when those other companies lay off a lot of people (compared to when Iwata cut his own salary to avoid laying off employees during the Wii U era).

[Evil Trapezium]

Don't quote me on this but someone credible told me that challenger pack 11 will not be a veteran character. I asked him why and he told me that "Everyone is here".

Alright I came up with the best one, no one is allowed to joke about it anymore.

 

[ArkSPiTFirE]

If we started with ARMS, can we end with hands?

 

[Inferno7]

"This fighter will be arriving from the Sonic The Hedgehog Universe"

Only in my wildest dreams would that ever happen

It's nice to know Nintendo is doing that right, at least...

 

[GilTheGreat19]

So PapaGenos just uploaded a new vid, but it's not the speculation video many are looking forward to.

He's sick with a cough and has not even started recording, so looks like we'll have to wait a bit more for that video to drop.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Started with Arms, it will end with Legs.

 

[CannonStreak]

Hope it ain't COVID.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Hope it ain't COVID.

Hope so, too. Though I'm sure if it was, he'd say so.

 

[Eldrake]

Hey, take this with a grain of salt, but I have this source who says that they can confidently confirm that CP11 is most definitely not Joker, Luminary, Banjo & Kazooie, Terry Bogard, Byleth, Min Min, Steve, Sephiroth, Pyra & Mythra or Kazuya Mishima. I have no clue if they can be taken seriously or not, so again take it with a grain of salt.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

As someone who was never a fan of the leaker worship going around for a while, I’m really glad leaks have been basically dead this entire pass. Hope it continues in the next game as well.

 

[Aerospherology]

A female Chinese character from a fighting game that focuses on punching and kicks a lot that wears yellow and a female Chinese character from a fighting game that focuses on punching and kicks a lot and wears blue.
Totally nothing in common.

wears yellow

wears blue.

- the second character - is a Swedish character.
- the second-to-last character - has a half-Swedish half-brother.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Yeah, one doesn’t wear blue.

They haven't been dead, there just hasn't been any specific leaks that got a lot of support. Perhaps the fanbase has learned its lesson. Yeah, there are still tons of them thrown out there though.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Well, he wasn't born a video game character. He is, indeed, a video game character.

He's not a video game character as far as Smash inclusion is concerned. Which, this being the Smash speculation thread, is how most of us are generally concerned about it.

 

[Idon]

to be more specific "real" and "believable" leaks.

Dumb leaks made by typing something up in ten minutes will probably persist until the sun burns out.

Yeah, but can Min-Min Spinning Bird Kick tho?

Don't forget, she called you yellow!

Don't forget, she called you blue!

.....

Yellow?

Blue?

You do care!

So this question has probably been asked before but who’s is everyone’s top 5 safe picks (picks that are highly likely) for the last spot.

 

[Perkilator]

So this question has probably been asked before but who’s is everyone’s top 5 safe picks (picks that are highly likely) for the last spot.

At this point, who can call any character "safe"?

There's only one rule in a world where Nintendo gravitates towards unexpected characters: You're either in or you're not.

 

[Ivander]

So this question has probably been asked before but who’s is everyone’s top 5 safe picks (picks that are highly likely) for the last spot.

I don't think safe is the right word considering it's either they are in or they are out at this point. Anything goes is now the game. That aside,

1. Master Chief
2. Crash Bandicoot
3. Chosen Undead
4. Phantasy Star character
5. Octolings

 

[CannonStreak]

So this question has probably been asked before but who’s is everyone’s top 5 safe picks (picks that are highly likely) for the last spot.

I mean

At this rate, there are no more safes for me. I will just take my chances wildly guessing who it is at this point. Could be anyone.

 

[subterrestrial]

gen 8 pokemon
king boo
octoling
bandana dee
waluigi

one of these are definitely the last dlc character

edit: we might even get a left field smashOC like tabuu or masterhand, definitely gonna be first party tho
