Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Hinata]

Isn't she also DLC only like Shulk, Fiora, and Elma?

No, KOS-MOS is in the base game of XBC2.

She's just so unbelievably rare, you'd be lucky to ever get her in a core crystal.

 

[Deleted member]

Are we really at the point where we're going over baseless 4chan text leaks? The Game Awards can't come quick enough

Too bad it's the only thing people can work with right now, since all the major frontrunners are out of the picture, excluding KOS-MOS.

Clearly KOSMOS would get in to rep Gacha Hell then

This is Phoenix erasure, and I won't stand for it.

Yeesh. Considering unique blades are super rare to begin with that's pretty dumb.

Yeah. This is the one thing I hate about Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Doing anything extra with blades (including trying to obtain the non-story ones other than Wulfric) reeks of awfull mobile game practices. I don't understand it either since it's not even trying to monetize your suffering.

EDIT: And I always get odd ones like Dhalia, Electra, Nim, and Gorg. The only blades that I've gotten that are actually ok design wise are Perun and Percival.
EDIT EDIT: I forgot about Floren. She's ok too I guess.

Dante
Phoenix Wright
Heihachi or Jin
Agumon
Sol Badguy
Byleth

You see, it is Fun and promotes Replayability because intentional garbage design is flawless

Dante's out of the picture, actually, unless you're not strictly talking about FP5.

 

[PSIGuy]

I must apologize for the gacha mechanic. It is stupid. We have purposely programmed it to be annoying, as a joke.

>MFW people are still sleeping on Wright's chances despite more than half his competition being out of the running

Then we'll just replace him with the best next thing.

Don't exactly soft-confirm anything unless we have hard evidence to work on. All that's going for Phoenix are a bunch of 4chan text leaks that are suspicious enough to be unbelievable. Yeah sure, he's a probable one, but we still have others to think about.

Then we'll just replace him with the best next thing.

As a former MvC2 player I'll let him slide, haha.

I'm pretty sure I caused an Amingo leak once. Either that or it was lucky timing.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Will Zeke get an actually coherent team of blades? Find out in the next playthrough!

Seriously though. I never use Morag and Zeke because Torra outclasses Morag (Brighid, [ SPOILER ], Floren) and Rex outclasses Zeke (Pandoria, Perun, Nim). Zeke also has Electra but just...No.

Umm..does it require someone to sign up on 4chan?

Because I'm planning to make a fake leak to boost support for Morrigan XD; though seriously Smash is for good boys and girls so...I'll just browse some other names in my book.

Morrigan wears tights though so she's fine.

 

[Will]

You don't sign up to 4chan, it's an anonymous message board. It showed up on 4chan though.

 

[osby]

I'll go out a limb and predict that FP5 is going to be someone we didn't even talk about much.

Our "every possible candidate" list is actually quite limited and only comes down to a few companies. I'm not saying this to belittle anyone, it's just this process of elimination thing that's been going on for a while wasn't very successful. There are more characters in the video game scene than we realize.

Now watch it be someone super predictable and make this obsolete.

What the few Darkstalker fam have been saying in case she got deocnfirmed due to Mai.

Sigh...

Hmm...I'll give you points, though how was that enough to be sooo convincing?

Honestly the hype is gone if it's someone everyone was guessing.

Be a little considerate.

Nobody likes their characters to show up in a fake leak and then get disappointed when it gets debunked.

So close to perfection, yet so far:

 

[PSIGuy]

fully expect it to be someone that was dismissed, the earlier they were dismissed the more likely

 

[TheCJBrine]

If anyone is gonna make a fake leak, make it a gooball from World of Goo.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Little did we know that we skipped over the most obvious candidate for the Fighter Pass. All hell breaks lose when Fighter 5 is revealed by Sakurai to be the entirety of Mother 3.

So it's Tak! Got it!

Most of the conversation around that was of upskirt shots, of which Morrigan has none as she does not wear a skirt. Her...top? Would likely cover more though.

Disagreed.

KOS-MOS, Phoenix Wright or Dante would be hype as hell even if everyone and their grandmothers predict them.

It's Japan exclusive, but you can play it for a full 10 minutes! It's the longest amount of time you're able to spend in a Masterpiece to date!

The west? They get the first minute of Startropics.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

"We've decided to make the final inclusion in the Fighters Pass a Japanese exclusive for reasons outside of our own control. We apologize. Shout outs to filthy Americans Sabi and Vergeben for trying to be a couple of ass holes by leaking my game!"

I think this is the first time I've seen a swear word completely uncensored here.

We might have found an actual pedophile and I think someone randomly talked about this thing (watch with caution in mind):

Jinkies!

Anyway.. I’m gonna change the topic with a game from your host plank..I hate curiousity
If you guys could upgrade one franchise featured in smash into fighters, but another franchise would get demoted, what would you do?

Dragalia Lost Either Golden Sun or Metal Slug to get Isaac or Marco. If I had to get rid of series with a fighter in order to do this, I'd demote Duck Hunt/Ice Climbers (preferably Duck Hunt) to Assist Trophy. However, if anything goes, then I'd just get rid of the Rayman spirit.

“Steve has no moveset potential!”

Spoiler

Well it's true.

 

[Animegamingnerd]

ANYWAY

What anime y’all been watching - wait no that’s too off topic

so uhhhhh

Do you guys think... post pass characters will come with music?

Dr.Stone, My Hero Academia, and Vinland Saga. I am a few episodes behind on Blade of the Immortal and Fire Force though.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Well it's true.

I’m guessing this is a joke, but still Minecraft’s many items and blocks, including unique ones, beg to differ. They could also including crafting and block placing in a balanced way. Anyone who seriously thinks that is kidding themselves. While the moveset argument is bad anyway, Steve is one of the absolute worst examples of “no moveset potential.”

What's he gonna do? Throw cubes at me? Oh I'm so scared.

Later...

HE'S THROWING CUBES AT ME! HELP!

He could:
-Drop an anvil :]
-Drop TNT >:]
-Use a lava bucket >:] or water bucket
-Use a bow, crossbow, sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, or trident as a weapon
-He could use other items and blocks as weapons; maybe he could hold out a chest and shut it on an opponent, and it could absorb a projectile while open. There’s also dispensers and pistons and whatever
-Use fireworks and an elytra or an ender pearl for recovery
-Craft better armor/weapons for a temporary upgrade
-Place blocks down to block opponents or help in some other way (blocks would have limits so it’d be balanced)
-Potions, splash potions, enchantments, flint and steel, fire charges, tipped arrows, snowballs, eggs, spawn eggs, fishing rod, minecart, minecart with TNT >:] , etc.

 

[BlackInk]

No, KOS-MOS is in the base game of XBC2.

She's just so unbelievably rare, you'd be lucky to ever get her in a core crystal.

I nearly maximize my luck and minimize the amount of higher ranked common of the dark/light by keeping them (till my game couldn’t handle anymore of them). I got her in a few days.
