[Fatmanonice]

Ahahaha Silly you Fatmanonice.
Implying that we could get two Square-Enix characters.
Ahahahha....

It's a slim possibility given the circumstances but still manages to beat out Square flipping the table, screaming expletives, and starting over based on what is known. Welcome to Speculation Hell!

 

[Ring-a-Sheep]

Personally, I think it could be Klonoa. It all lines up, older character, people basically gave up on him and barely gets support by Ultimate, and recent fans wouldn't care much for him.

God, if Klonoa is the mystery character Fatman is talking about this would be the best timeline for me
i was just about to post something similar, did you read my mind somehow?

 

[beans]

Pretty sure the SPECIAL is refering to the reggie hint with Doritos pope about doing something "SPECIAL" during the game award.

edit:



that too.

They will reveal that Ultimate and Special are actually 2 different versions with exclusive DLC fighters.

Nice joke, Sakurai doesn't like having version exclusive characters. That's why he had to cut the Icies in 4 after the 3DS couldn't get em to work..

"Why not both?" is the best kind of compromise.

Nah man, just using some educated guessing. Great minds thinking alike, I'd say.

well we know now that the people in nintendo tree house are saying that the dlc is a must have. hopefully geno is one of the dlc characters. https://nintendosoup.com/nintendo-s...-will-be-surprising-and-a-must-have-for-fans/

Special is the name of Ultimate in Japan.

you're both right

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Imagine if like they announced all 5 in one big cinematic trailer but gameplay was revealed later.

That actually might be worse. ''OH NO BLANK IS IN AND I'M SO EXCITED. THEIR MOVESET BETTER BE INCREDIBLE." and you wait for like 5 months to figure it out because they're on the back end of DLC.

I doubt SE would like to do double work for two characters.
Tough the image of having two picks and getting the order of "do both" and the paperwork guys going ballistic is funny.

They're gonna announce a new Noid game, i'm really feeling it.

I would actually really like this. Imagine all of the different character interaction!

 

[Musubi]

I was trying to think of an old iconic game series that Boomers would like and Mortal Kombat popped in my head. Did Scorpion or Sub-Zero have any following back in the day? I didn't follow Smash speculation until Wii U so I wouldn't know.

I mean, given that Sakurai shocked everyone in his planning room when he revealed his intent on bringing back everyone...

I'd actually love that. Too much budget for 5 trailers? Screw it, just put everyone in the same one.

I wish I had a Patrick meme for this statement.

The best thing imo. Then all this talk of speculation and bouncing between insiders can be put to rest. THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

They've never had serious support as far as I can recall, mostly because people think they come from games that are too violent and thus ill fitting for Smash.

That and Mortal Kombat is sort of literal ''bleh" to the Japanese nation.

the "people forgot how much they wanted it" really makes me think master chief lol.

To be fair a Nintendo employee saying that their product is going to be awesome and fans will want to buy it is a bit biased. Doesn’t mean it’s not true, though.

...And then it starts again the minute a Wave 2 gets approved.

I loveeeeed Klonoa 2 and Wii , and I love playing as him in Crusade. If him making in info Smash mean finally a new Klonoa game , sign me up lol

But honestly , I think that we're probably going to get something related to Smash at the VGA.
The game went gold mid november , they could have choosed 1st december , 10th december , nope , one day after the game awards. (granted , the 7th of December is a saturday , but I still think that's an odd timing to release the game.)

if they get that excited over it, its gonna look bad on them if it ends up bad. especially with the wording used

This is what it's going to be: Goku, Crono, Erdrick, Luminary, and Steve

And wave 2: Slime, 2 Fire Emblem characters, and 2 more Pokemon

exactly; if that was the case they might as well have not said anything about the dlc at all because there wouldnt be any statements to backfire on them

heres the thread I'm referring to btw

This makes me think Goku, obviously it’s NOT Goku cause well he’s an anime character but the reveal might be as impressive or game changing as to be compared to If Goku were to get into smash. Idk it just Feels as if something absolutely MASSIVE is going to be announced something game changing.

 

[Mellowy Yellow]

WOW, the page count went up a lot, what did i miss?

 

[PhilosophicAnimal]

Aw man, I missed the big Brawl thread passing moment! Belated congrats to you all! This will easily hit 500 pages before release.

Also, so Fatman's hints are for a character...oh boy. My vote is for Lloyd or Tails--as an apparent "boomer," I know those would be cool for us.

Personally, I think it could be Klonoa. It all lines up, older character, people basically gave up on him and barely gets support by Ultimate, and recent fans wouldn't care much for him.

Also, this. I would love Klonoa! A total sleeper Namco pick.

Well, this pretty much proves to me that some people at least in NOA know who at least some of the DLC characters are. His wording seems to suggest it heavily. My guess is this is how Polar and Fatman know. Even crazier is that it appears they might know most of the DLC already. But how could that be, unless...

The whole fighter pack will be revealed at the VGAs...???

Edit: hold on. Hold up...I just thought of something bananas. If the characters are all going to be ones we'll love, and one will bring people back...and boomers will love it, zoomers might complain, and no one is asking for them now...

Holy crap. Is it Isaac?

Maybe Nintendo listened, and that's the big news? Could it be that characters already IN as assists will now have a shot?

Now THAT would be earth-shattering.

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

''OH NO BLANK IS IN AND I'M SO EXCITED. THEIR MOVESET BETTER BE INCREDIBLE."

You're really worried Blank's moveset WON'T be incredible? LOL JK



Something the new kids wouldn't get, huh? Hmmm... if Interplay hadn't put all their IPs up for sale, I'd immediately jump towards Earthworm Jim or Bad Mr. Frosty or Boogerman or something like that. Many of the Nintendo characters have maintained some kind of presence across generations so... I'd immediately imagine something that was popular back then, kinda died but is still beloved by people who were around for it, wanted for Smash but then it didn't happen so people just kinda gave up. Struggling to think who it could possibly be.

No joke, if they pull something like this I think I will have the biggest boner of all my life

Pretty unlikely to happen though

Christ, these next 5 days are going to feel like a constant adrenaline rush, yet massively slowed down at the same time trying to figure this stuff out.

I feel bad for some of you so I'm just gonna lay it out there.

The character Fatmanonice is referring to is not quite verified yet. His name's gone around a lot but it's not something that we know for sure. And it's not what most of you have guessed, lol.
(THIS IS SPECULATION: I personally, however, think the character he's referring to has high odds, though.)

[The Anigriffin]

We can confirm these characters were chosen pre 2017 correct? Seeing Rex couldn’t make it as all? If they’re mostly Nintendo characters there could be hints towards them in the game I suppose. Like Geno’s spirit.
