Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Michael the Spikester]

No? The guy who wrote the books is still alive and sold the game rights, how is that public domain?

I wasn't fast enough to edit my post. Realized I was wrong there.

 

[Seanapotamus]

Kraid or Mother Brain should be in as a bosses.

Ngl I think we should've had a Metroid boss in the game. Kraid and Mother Brain would be the best examples.

Seems legit.

I would honestly love to see the Heavy get in Smash in the future. So many memorable lines.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Wait, no Smash news at the VGAs?

But there's an amiibo wave next month

 

[Cosmic77]

Kraid or some other Metroid character would be great, though honestly, I never would've dreamed we'd have a scenario where Metroid has more fighters than DK, Kirby, and Star Fox.

More is welcome, but I'm content with what we already have.

 

[MooMew64]

No, no, Gwen was saying that the post didn't contain Smash news, not that there wouldn't be Smash news at TGA.

I was confused at first too.

MINI-KRAID FAKES OUT THE COMPETITION!

Incidentally, I toyed with the concept of a Kraid fighter when I was bored. Basically, he wouldn't be able to shield or dodge (actually too big to do that), so his shield button would instead be an armor button, unflinchingly tanking attacks (but still taking damage). He'd grow progressively redder when his armor takes damage and if his armor takes full damage, his armor would break and he'd be stunned for it. I wasn't sure if that could possibly be balanceable in any way whatsoever, so I discarded the idea.

I approve this idea quite a lot.

K.Rool has that mechanic and he's a low tier so it can work. I just want Kraid's boss theme to return maaaaan

 

[Dark Bagel]

Hey you guys want a new theory? Too bad! Here it is because Smash news is slow!

Have you ever noticed that characters in the fighters pass get progressively heavier?

- 93
- 101
- 106
- 108

So the next character is going to be heavier than Terry! I just know that this theory is going to pull through!

I refuse to come to terms with the fact that Mr. buff lean buster wolf boi is heavier than a literal grizzly bear.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

He's heavier than a giant space pteradactyl too. Snake's as heavy as the bear but he's dummy thicc so it checks out

 

[Michael the Spikester]

God I hope. I don't wanna wait another month or so of no new Smash characters. >.>

there's a clear reason Buster Wolf can beat Wonderwing

Banjo is pretty small by bear standards though, and if he were any heavier Kazooie probably wouldn't be carrying him around
Meanwhile Terry is built like a brick ****house

there's a clear reason Buster Wolf can beat Wonderwing

Fun fact: it also goes through Rebel's Guard but not any other counters
Hitgrabs are weird

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Sakurai obviously has a huge bias for King of Fighters that's why. ;P

Sounds like porky in a spidermech to me.

Weight Theory!

Muscle is heavier than fat. Presumably, Terry has more muscle per volume of body mass than any smash character lighter than him. All the better to BUSTA WOLF with.

So would Alfonzo take his place on Brinstar Depths?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Y'all still sleeping on Master Chief. Each DLC fighter has been getting heavier and Master Chief easily fits the bill of weighing more then Terry.

 

[KillerCage]

Okay, who died?

 

[Flyboy]

Okay, who died?

Maybe Capcom But Actually Maybe Not. An NoA brand ambassador said no Capcom and no Bamco, though Sabi is hesitant to confirm it as they haven't heard from their primary source and Verge has said nothing at all.

I remember when the brand ambassador was Sabi's primary source.

He seems to ditch people somewhat.

 

[SmashSSL]

The Heavy is dead.

Except he's actually alive.
.... is nice.

mcbamn, the newest crime organization on the block
sources say they funded steve minecraft's successful attempt on phoenix wright's life
it's ok though, he got better
maybe

 

[TheTuninator]

Or post-timeskip Edelgard.

 

[KillerCage]

So that means the only major companies left to consider is Arc System Works (Sol Badguy and Ragna the Bloodedge) and Disney unless we are double dipping.

 

[XorahnGaia]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I guess Sabi really wants to play it safe and not going all in some of the deconfirmation going around.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So that means the only major companies left to consider is Arc System Works (Sol Badguy and Ragna the Bloodedge) and Disney unless we are double dipping.

I think its still possible for the Pass to get two characters from the same company so there's also Square (2B notably) and Microsoft (Master Chief and Steve). People says there won't be but its just another fan rule as "He's too big!", "Too irrelevant" and "Too 3rd party was" I expect Sakurai to break again.

Also Bethesda (Dovahkiin).

 

[Nightguything]

Don’t know if this is old news but rip regardless

 

[Wunderwaft]

There's also Bethesda to consider. Doom Slayer may not be FP5 but Dragonborn is still on the table.

 

[Wyoming]

Bethesda
Marvelous
Sony (yeah yeah but they aren't out by any means)
Valve (I dont think anyone would come before Freeman but Heavy has not been ruled out)
And Nintendo

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Annnnd Dovahkiin's out...

Wait how reliable is this Hampster guy?

 

[Seanapotamus]

This post reminds me of something, and I've been itching to ask everyone:

After Capcom was out (most likely, we'll wait for Verge) do you guys think we'll double dip for the last spot of the Fighters Pass or do you think we'll have a different company represented for our next fighter?

 

[Deleted member]

Bethesda
Marvelous

Yeah...

About that...

Hold on, who is this guy?

 

[Night Gale]

He's heavier than a giant space pteradactyl too. Snake's as heavy as the bear but he's dummy thicc so it checks out

On the topic of dummy thicc, let's talk about Mortal Kombat.

I know we would most likely get Scorpion but I'm a Jax main and he's extra thiccccccc.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Again how reliable is this Hampster? Is he on the level of Vergeben and Sabi?

 

[Ovaltine]

Watch it somehow be first party or something and literally everyone is blown the hell out lol
