Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Al-kīmiyā']

The best Tales rep is clearly Rondoline.

 

[Seanapotamus]

I wouldn't take too much stock on whatever Sabi likes on Twitter. I think Sabi, like the rest of us, are in the dark on who the next fighter is. His source, who said the Mii costume stuff isn't related to the next fighter, knows who it is, but we won't know until the day of the character's reveal is closer. Guess we'll have to keep speculating until we know things are narrowed down. With Doomguy, Geno, Crash, Ryu, and Scorpion out of the running for #5, I'm probably going to guess that the next character will be from either Capcom or Bandai-Namco. I'm not really going to buy into certain theories until we have a better idea on who it could be and the choices narrow down further.

 

[AceAttorney9000]

In terms of a Tails of rep:

broke: Lloyd
woke: Yuri
bespoke: Velvet
A S C E N D E D: Luke

We all know it in our hearts to be true.

Transcended: Hero 2, with Cress/Lloyd/Luke/Yuri

... I'm joking, but I'm also not familiar with the Tales Of series at all, so I've no idea if that's even feasible.

 

[Fenriraga]

Transcended: Hero 2, with Cress/Lloyd/Luke/Yuri

... I'm joking, but I'm also not familiar with the Tales Of series at all, so I've no idea if that's even feasible.

As cool as that would be, they have pretty different fighting styles for the most part, so that sadly wouldn't work lol.

 

[KatKit]

You were expecting the Trails Estelle BUT IT WAS I THE OTHER ESTELLE!

Relevant Estelle quote #45:

 

[Will]

Is this confidence or stupidity? Don't know anymore but my bet and reasons have never changed for the past six months or so.​

 

[Ivander]

Transcended: Hero 2, with Cress/Lloyd/Luke/Yuri

... I'm joking, but I'm also not familiar with the Tales Of series at all, so I've no idea if that's even feasible.

All 4 have very different styles of fighting. For one, while Lloyd, Cress and Luke do share similar special moves, Yuri is greatly different aside from a couple moves, like the beam wave and I believe he and Luke share a couple moves that involve kicking. Not to mention, Lloyd has Two Swords, and while Cress, Luke and Yuri each wield one sword:
-Cress USED to have a Sword and Shield originally, while lately he appears to be wielding his sword two-handed.
-Luke drags his sword on the ground.
-Yuri rests his on his shoulder which results in him almost always slashing vertically downward whenever he does his regular attacks. Not to mention Yuri's moveset can also be used with an Axe.

Hero 2.0 would not work with Cress, Lloyd, Luke and Yuri.

To be fair, I really don’t know much at all about Tales so there’s a really good chance you’re right about that. Even still though, I just feel like Lloyd would bring less to the table than the other characters. It also feels to me like Tales is just less of an iconic and legacy series than the four so far in the pass, but that may just be me

Yeah, it's just you.


Try playing the series, you'll love it.

Tales series sold over 20 million, is continuing since 1995 and commonly regarded as one of the three big JRPGs.

If Persona is big enough for pass, Tales fulfills the requirements just as well.

 

[Louie G.]

A modder noticed that the slots for solo nana and solo popo were removed in 6.0.0.
It seems like the ssbu team were working on a new DLC fighter that uses the tag team mechanic from the Ice Climbers and testing out the separate solo versions of the new tag team fighter and then later got rid of all separate solo versions of them.

Hey so I know the conversation has moved past this but....

if I get my boys after all of this time I would cry very happy very manly tears. My expectations are in check but any glimmer of hope for Chorus Kids makes me happy.

Edit: back to the drawing board this just sounds like a mod lmao

 

[TheYungLink]

Broke: Tales

Woke: Trails

Estelle Bright for Smash

Spoiler

(Kidding about Tales btw)

 

[BZL8]

Have to wonder what would happen if we got a Tales of Arise rep instead.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Sabi's likes don't mean anything, especially since Sabi doesn't even know who the character is.

I’d be completely happy with Leon, but I wouldn’t consider this an actual statement on the matter.

NIRVANA: Actually, Lloyd.


She also likes a post that said "DOOM announced at VGA with one more announcement: Geno." Don't look into things she's not saying directly.

I'm praying rn that you guys didn't think I was being serious about the like thing.

Bruh you want to make a conspiracy theory but leave out how GENOCIDE CUTTA isn't in Smash at all?

Rugal is overrated so idc that much lol

 

[perfectchaos83]

I'm praying rn that you guys didn't think I was being serious about the like thing.

I know you weren't, but I'm sure there's somebody out there that would.

 

[Plank08]

I know it’s fake and I probably shouldn’t bring it up but....

GOD THAT HAT LOOKS SO *******CLEAN
I KNOW ITS PROBABLY A MOD BUT STILL IMAGINE

Also I’ve never heard of modded spirits before

The text on the spirits indicating their name seems different from release.
Also, we can’t trust in game footage anymore. At this point, I’m only trusting perfectchaos83 . They seem to be thoughtful on this.

 

[BZL8]

Hmm. People have been saying something about a tag team mechanic or something being discovered in 6.0? Or is that just some stray wind?

Wait. Who deconfirmed Scorpion? Not that I thought he ever had much of a chance, but what happened?

Verge deconfirmed Scorpion and Pajama Sam

Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish are still in the running. Where my Humongous Entertainment peeps at!?

No love for Spy Fox?

 

[DarthEnderX]

I really want a Tales rep because its one of the last major JRPGs not in Smash

Chrono Trigger, Mana, Legend of Heroes, Disgaea, Phantasy Star, Ys: "...am I a joke to you?"

 

[Jomosensual]

Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish are still in the running. Where my Humongous Entertainment peeps at!?

Excuse me, but if we're going to get an HE rep Pablo Sanchez from Backyard Sports needs to be in the running. Respect for the King is not optional.

This shopping mall's wifi network won't let me open up Smashboards. **** you Ayala!!! Had to use my mobile data for this!

That out of the way, what did I miss?

Hope it wasn't too much mobile data wasted because nothing's going on.

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

ok but what if:

You were expecting the Trails Estelle BUT IT WAS I THE OTHER ESTELLE!

but seriously tho, a white mage type in Smash, imagine

OH HELL YEAH! ONE OF MY CHOICES! I want both her and Yuri to be in Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

Heheheh.

I feel like a kid asking "are we there yet" while everyone is going to a beach or something.

 

[N3ON]

If you skipped out on this site for a week you still wouldn't miss anything more than some new vague claim that quickly gets forgotten in the face of a newer, vaguer claim.

 

[Night Gale]

If we got Chris Redfield I wonder which version it would be.

I've noticed this happening periodically with you but mainly the member with the Spiderverse avatar. Assuming that it isn't occurring because of sh*tty internet connections, is it perhaps because you don't know how to multi-quote? If so, allow me to assist, bruh. Knowledge is power. If not, f**k it, I'm sure someone doesn't know how to do this.

[Mr.Boo]

Just finished Re5 Switch port. Ok port job, but wait for a price drop and for dear life don't play split screen co-op. If RE content were to come to Smash then man I would love for Wesker to be it. He's such a large ham in 5 and the blatant Matrix agent move rip-offs he does are badass as well as ridiculous. But that two-on-two fight near the end with a certain person that I won't spoil, one of the series best moments in my opinion. More villains for Smash!

 

[NoOtherPersona]

Bring Chris Classic same with Jill Leon and Claire

 

[Ben Holt]

So I've gotten used to Terry now.
Holy ****, he is good!
Jab-Jab-Power Dunk is literally a guaranteed combo at any percent, AND IT KILLS!
At 100%+, as New Yorkers say, FUGETTABOUDIT! Power Geiser completely stops aerial approaches, and Buster Wolf covers the ground.
And oddly enough, I don't even want him nerfed. He is a really great entry character to learn about combos, like Smash 4 Mario (Please bring back that combo. Easy ≠ broken.).

 

[DarthEnderX]

I LOVE having 100% damage with Terry.

I will throw out those Buster Wolves like it's Wonderwing!

 

[Pinguino21v]

but seriously tho, a white mage type in Smash, imagine

SassyCatXIV has entered the chat

Exactly! Y'shtola for Smash! It would bring a big MMO fanbase into it (but I'm guessing Thrall doesn't overlap as much with an already existing character and thus would have a stronger impact).

However, what if the datamined Ice Climbers tag team thing was in fact not Astral Chain, nor XC2, but summoner Alphinaud ?

Yeah, it's just you.


Try playing the series, you'll love it.

I'm not the one you answered but I consider I'm a JRPG fan, having played several different series and stand alone games (FF, DQ, GS, XC, KH, Chrono Trigger, Mana, Resonance of Fates, etc), but I disliked Tales. I forced myself to end Graces f, and I stopped Xillia in the middle of it. I never got attached to the characters, and can't handle the weird action system.

I now wish I could do some Shinku Hadoukens with Ryu. Same command.

Still sounds like a waste of time. You could just as well drop by only once a day, or once every two days, and you still wouldn't miss much. Even if a leak were to come out, that wouldn't be enough time for it to be properly verified.
