Let's do a Triple Threat Match. 2B Vs KOS-MOS vs Knightmare in a Smash in the Bank Ladder match

Whatever we had going on in the thread earlier is much better than this.
Because the mods are likely about to say the same thing, please move on from this discussion.

Do you think we'll get another bundle or will I be unable to save a precious $4.95?

That's a good question! We don't know the long term implications of Post Pass DLC. I would imagine Smash would take from other fighting games and just make this a Season 2 of DLC. Simply put, I bet $4.95 you could say $4.95.

A mouse who's game of the same name is referenced by Pac-Man's up special.

I was wondering about that up-special. Speaking of Pac-Man, I'm surprised how hard it is to kill that guy. Both of his recoveries cover a surprising amount of distance. I don't normally play against Pac-man so I was caught off guard lol.

I wonder if post-Pass content will include Echoes after seeing people's reactions to them throughout the game's lifespan. They were originally planned as roster filler so there's no chance they would be considered for DLC initially but since people ended up really enjoying brainstorming possible Echoes, they might bother adding more. And if they don't have plans for any future newcomers being from Nintendo franchises, then Echo Fighters could help make up for that.

I could see echo fighters being used to make a quick buck if Sakurai wanted to. If they're as easy to make as he says they are, maybe. Issue is that I'd rather have unique fighters than having them downgraded to movesets already represented.

I know we have like over 70 unique fighting styles already, but we can have, like, over 80 instead, you know?

Er... Someone wants to hear a "Challenger Pack" idea i made? It's about Reiji Arisu, a Bamco character from Project X Zone:

Fighter: Reiji Arisu from Namco X Capcom/Project X Zone Series, and Xiaomu appears with him as pairs (Like the Ice Climbers).
View attachment 247441
Wait, what is a Project X Zone? Who are them?
Project X Zone, initially known as Namco X Capcom is a crossover tactical role-playing game between Bandai Namco, Capcom, Sega and even Nintendo at some point. Reiji and Xiaomu are operatives for paranormal investigative group Shinra, which face distortions that brings characters from other realities into their own, and they're the protagonists of the series. The 1st game was on the PS2, but it never came outside of Japan, but the Project X Zone 1 and 2 games were released on the 3DS, this time in Occident.

Until we get any indication to the contrary, I'm of the opinion that the continued DLC is going to be more of what we see in the FP. Whatever characters that just missed the cut for the 5 DLC seem like they would just be chosen instead of coming up with a new list.

I've always been fascinated by MMOs in Smash. The only bad thing is that there's usually no quantifiable or "iconic" character per each series.

Runescape by Jagex is one of the pioneers of the genre, but there's jack **** of recognizable characters. The player avatar is called the World Guardian and the default skin is this

Not very fun.

But you have other options like Nexon's MapleStory or Blizzard's World of Warcraft, and so on. I'm not taking in MOBAs since I'm referring to the RPGs.
