I'm glad hero's going to be july. Late july or early august was what i thought made sense. I feel like the info and details we've been wanting could be sometime next week, and then release a little later (like at the end of that week or the last week of the month).

Not really, Astral Chain wasn't there.
Not sure how one game left out of the trailer is a confirmation of Hero in July. We know for a fact he's coming out in summer unless delayed, so changing the name only lines up with what we know.

Yes, because leaving out Oninaki and Astral Chain one of the biggest releases in summer while only July games were shown Fortntie S9, Marvel and FE:T totally makes sense.

He's coming on July.

He's coming on July.
But theoretically, they could have added Hero--an August release--in with three games with July releases. I don't see this as confirmed as a result.

There's lierally no reason to leave Astral Chain out. he's 100% confirmed for July.

All of the games that aren't Smash are July releases, and it originally said July. It was likely damage control because they want him to be a surprise drop like Joker was.

That on top of things like that french guide pretty much screams July. I wouldn't say 100% confirmed, but it's absolutely in the 90's range.

Im pretty much thinking if the Hero is a July release, he is coming on the 30~31st.

I really freaking hope the last two dlc have REAL release dates at this rate. Getting really tired of this exhausting guessing game crap right now

To be fair, they need time to make sure the characters work right. If there's a delay by the time a street date hits, people get mad.

Only when you're truly confident, that you can put a deadine.

Edit: It seems that there will be online maintenance soon. Please hype responsibly: https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp

Every major update of Smash that brings a new character (Piranha Plant, Joker) were preceded by a firmware update for the Switch at least a day prior (Joker came out on April 17th, firmware update on the 15th. Piranha Plant came out on January 29th, firmware update on the 28th) So I think it's safe to assume Hero will come a day or two after the next firmware update, whenever that is. At least, this is what I'm telling myself so I don't get disappointed waiting for every new maintenance scheduled to come and go.

I'm been expecting Nintendo to upload the hero video every 5 minutes ever since that July update video.

Either way we won't be able to play as them until a day or 2 after they launched due to broken servers, as is tradition

I thought buying the Fighter Pass as soon as I could (read last friday) would make the wait less painful, but it made it WORSE lol

Around mid 30's for everything. I didn't really know what does what.
Oh. That could be an issue as some of the higher skills are the better ones. Ok well here's somethings to shoot for with limited points

Hero-Spears(59) Lighting Thrust and the skills before are great
Yangus (66) Axes for executioner
Jessica- she needs a lot of 100 points. Umm... I got nothing
Angelo- oomph I guess 65 staff and 13 charisma?
What are the point values that might be easier.

I did it with the hero, mainly with the sword, and also with courage, because in this he learns to spend less money and very important for the post game. With ax for ax executioner and humanity for kabuf and sacrifice.Jessica with latigos.Angelo with estoquest.Ruby with knives and Morrie with claws and it is important to raise him in passion

Do you guys think we'll get an HD version of the DQ8 3DS remake? i just feel like it added to many new content to be keept in a 3ds exclusive content forever.

Maybe they could add an extra party memeber like Marcello or more costumes, i would be cool if we got smash costumes in a possible DQ8 switch.

Hero: Link costume
Yangus: Luigi costume
Jessica: Zero Suit Samus costume
Angelo: Chrom costume
Red: Bayonetta costume
Morrie: Wii Fit Trainer costume

I have killed 3 King Metal Slimes.
Executioner is OP, don't nerf.

I have also learned Kamikaze.

This was a mistake.

This is my new favorite DQ comment ever!

Did you kill the bird, also yeah executioner is a great move!
Does Kamikaze ever work well? I think I used it once or twice as a strategy against some bosses.

Nope, no bird yet, but I did just unlock the Casino. And am totally not save scumming it to earn money

I also killed more King Metal Slimes. I'm stopping myself from doing that more until I get the other two party members lol.

And I'm too much of a coward to Kamikaze... Yet.

Lol probably not for at least a week. At this point, I don't care as much since he can no longer be at EVO, though no one probably would have used him anyway.

One of the things I'm really, Really happy about is that I've seen so many more remixs/covers of DQ themes pop up in the past few weeks thanks to Hero being in Smash. This has always been one of things I like about a character's inclusion in Smash.

The truth is that if it is nice as there is more and more content of dragon quest from the remix community, fanart etc and I hope it also helps the sale of dragon quest 11 maybe aso bring DQ10 and the card game

It's been 3000 years!

I just barely won this fight. I was out of healing items, out of MP and close to death, but somehow I won.

Speaking of close call bosses, I beat the NES version of DQ IV the other day. Psaro Necrasaro killed my entire team but Ragnar clutched it out by himself. Cheers you crazy old *******, hope you get a spirit in Ultimate.
