Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Ura]

Anything new since this Morning?

We're in a dry spell methinks.

Still waiting for Verge to destroy someone's hopes and dreams at any given moment. But at least TVGA's is next week.

I have a list of characters I support but one thing that draws me to them is not only the character but the universe they come from and what it could bring to Smash in terms of music, spirits, and especially stages. That being said, what stages would best fit the following character and franchises in a ways that’s popping and interesting yet iconic and important to the series?

Guilty Gear (Sol Badguy)
Ninja Gaiden (Ryu Hayabusa)
Tohou Project (Reimu)
Xenogears (KOS-MOS)
Digimon (Agumon)
Steve? (Minecraft)
Devil May Cry (Dante)
Sabre (FateStay)
Darksiders (War)
Half-Life (Gordon)
Tomb Raider (Lara Croft)

 

[Lady Kuki]

That it does. Realistically, it should have been Brawl when the series got added but better late than never with Ultimate DLC. Well hopefully lol.

I hope that the success of WarGroove inspires IS to go back to Advance Wars again. I’d love to see Andy for example.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Quoting myself AND being delusional, but...
Looks like Sabi is really refusing to deconfirm Capcom. They're not even saying anything among the lines of "hey guys there's this rumor, im not sure about it, I'll investigate, idk, might be true", like with previous leaks and rumors, they're just straight up saying "I never heard nor said Capcom is out, wth, where did this even come from, don't quote me on that when it's eventually wrong" ... well, not exactly, but you get the point. Im not sure. Might be a reason for that

Sabi did the same with Namco. So it likely means nothing. It seems at this point, Sabi only cares about their source that leaked Terry and what he has to say. The source that Said "no Capcom" is an older source that gave Sabi hints about Banjo and Link's Awakening (As well as no Crash or Tracer, iirc).

 

[Ivander]

To think that back then, Corrin wasn't well-received and no one was asking for the character at the time

There actually were people asking for them, especially after it was found out they could transform into a dragon and manifest parts of their dragon form to fight with. The reason why they weren't taken super seriously was because people felt either they were too early to be DLC or because Roy was already a Fire Emblem DLC character. Even Sakurai mentioned that the Smash 4 DLC was probably Corrin's one and only opportunity to be able to get in Smash while they were still relevant at the time, as more than likely, had Corrin not been in the DLC, they would've done the next games' main character or whatnot for Ultimate instead.

 

[Ura]

it would only be that if rex was playable

*hits right in the nov 1 2018 feels*

And also to the all the Rex fans, my post was in jest. In an ideal world, both Andy & Rex could be playable of course. That would be pretty sweet.

 

[Ivander]

Tom and Jerry got confirmed for Smash.

I told you so... But no one believed me.

Cause Tom told us not to.

 

[Ura]

As do I my friend! At the very least, the idea is worth looking in to on the part of IntSys in light of Wargroove's success.

 

[Night Gale]

Since the gliding mechanic is in the game's code, does anyone here believe that a dlc character will use it?

I don't see it happening.

 

[KillerCage]

Any updates?

 

[BlackInk]

That and KOS-MOS’s and T-elos’s Xenoblade 2 artwork has the Bandai Namco copyright on it and are the only artworks to do so

while she was created by Monolith, KOS-MOS is a Namco character through and through

. Didn’t I already talk about the rights? The point was that the leaker could be playing with us with BS logic.

 

[M@R!3]

Any updates?

Not really.

 

[Ura]

Any updates?

We're going insane.

 

[MainJPW]

Wasn't there some kind of reason for it being canned?

 

[AceAttorney9000]

We're going insane.

You say that as if we weren't already.

 

[BlackInk]

I wonder if the sources were simply told about the wrong characters (on purpose)? That’ll be hilarious.

 

[Idon]

Wasn't there some kind of reason for it being canned?

Yeah people could just camp like... forever.

 

[Ura]

You say that as if we weren't already.

Yeah, but usually things get up'd to 11 when we're close to an event like TVGA's.

 

[Night Gale]

We're going insane.

Bandai Namco knew in advance, which Is why Dbs Broly came out today.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Wasn't there some kind of reason for it being canned?

It was one of the many reasons why Brawl was broken competitively.

The best option for a Half-Life stage would be a stage based on City 17 from HL2. I imagine the base of the stage being the rooftop of a building and the combine tower far behind, exploding after some time and leaving a energy vortex (as seen in EP:1). I can aso imagine some Striders walking around in the background, being occasionally hit by RPG's. It would be a visually stunning stage. Half-Life spirits would be also most related to characters from HL2 like Gordon itself, Headcrabs, Alyx, Barney, Kleiner, D.O.G., G-Man, etc. I don't really need to say much about HL music in general, which is excellent:

In case of Guilty Gear I don't see a clear option, at least with my knowledge of the franchise. Maybe Sol's stage from the first GG, this one, which would be funny because of the statue of liberty, lol. Looks cool in my opinion.

Paris AC from GG XX would be a nice option for me:

Spoiler

From Guilty Gear Xrd I particularly love Heaven's Edge

Spoiler

The stages from the new Guilty Gear are looking great in my opinion, specially the first one that appears in this video.

For Devil May Cry, I think that there's no doubts. The top of Temen-Ni-Gru from DMC3, arguably the most iconic place from the franchise. I didn't find a better pic, sorry.

In fact I think a DMC stage could be based on the entire tower, or some parts of it. It could be like DQXI's stage, which is like a tour. Temen-Ni-Gru could start at the bottom of the level and then visit some places of the tower, the final part of the stage would be the top, of course. It would be cool, almost all of DMC3 takes places at the tower.

 

[Izanagi97]

Welp, only thing to keep me occupied come tomorrow is continuing work on building the Railjack (aka, busting my ass doing Index runs because each of the 6 parts costs 1M credits and 12 hours of waiting for it to get built, totalling 6M credits and 72 hours of doing nothing)

Such sacrifices must be made for high quality Smash stages.

Hell yeah on the DMC stage being the Temen-ni-gru.

Literally the most iconic rival fight of all time.
It might look a bit plain, but they could add destructible pillars like in Vergil 2 or the blood bats as hazards. Hell, they could even add the beam at the end of the game that goes to the demon realm (except it just kills you)

Yep. At first I thought about the castle from DMC1 which is a cool looking place, but I think the right choice would be the tower. I like it more than the castle.

I suggested taking a "stage tour" approach for that reason. I also though about merging in some way the top of the tower with Vergil 2 and 3 scenarios, but that sounds complicated, so I went with the tour idea.

****ing blood bats, when I was a noob at the game those enemies annoyed me as hell lol
But yeah, the stage could have enemies in the background, including monsters from another entries, like the iconic Scissor enemy (I don't remember the correct name right now) from DMC1

In fact, just have the entire screen fill with enemies before Vergil pops in and slices all of them in half. If you're close, you get hit as well and instantly die.

 

[Arcadenik]

Even Sakurai mentioned that the Smash 4 DLC was probably Corrin's one and only opportunity to be able to get in Smash while they were still relevant at the time

This is why the relevance argument is a thing. This is why I cheer whenever Toad and Meowth get any love in their respective franchises. Because it means that Toad and Meowth are still relevant.

 

[PSIGuy]

Since the gliding mechanic is in the game's code, does anyone here believe that a dlc character will use it?

They were fine with having tether-only recoveries for Ivysaur and Joker so I don't see why not. Hell, maybe one DLC character will even have tripping.

 

[Ben Holt]

Check your milk, everyone.
Chances are, Fighter 5 will be revealed before it expires.

 

[GKMLTTSB]

Before... 10/31/2019.
Sweet!

I'll have a glass to celebrate.

I've already said it, but give Haruka Amami weaponized tripping.

I told you so... But no one believed me.

I should have known after this crossover of the ages.

Would their Final Smash be that weird, even creepier rendition of that infamous tunnel scene?
You know... this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsncHnDyB7E

Key?

So you team Clannad, Kanon, Little Busters, or what?

Indeed. A lot of people only think about the fighter. But think about these little live presentations Sakurai does. Think about how he loves introducing the series and talking about the cameos and the series history. It's clear to me that Sakurai wants more than to just add a new fighter. He wants to add new worlds.

Everyone should keep that in mind.

Sora is not deconfirmed ASSUMING that the one-company-per-pass rule is NOT in effect. In all seriousness, yes, that is a viable option.
