Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[NonSpecificGuy]

I think it's weird that we consider Persona 5 and Joker "niche".

Not only did that game do really well, it also got a lot of GotY nominations and a few wins, a ton of 9 or 10/10 reviews, it was talked about all that year, and it had that weird Twitch controversy with Atlus to rocket it into the general spotlight. Like, Persona 5 might not be the biggest RPG in the world but saying it's niche is just saying it's not as big as Final Fantasy, which, no JRPG is.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Leaker drama continues as Sabi is now saying Verge is wrong and the character is from the deconfirm list.

It's literally Guess Who at this point, but exhausting!

Bruh, this is really Civil War.

Except with characters that are way less likeable.

 

[RawstyleEevee]

Wasabi outright accusing Veggieboy of being wrong right now. If this was all a bait from Jon then both sabi and vergeben have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

Did Sabi deconfirm Namco?

 

[Rie Sonomura]

The meme is that Persona 1/2 don't exist due to the popularity of later ones, including 5.

Cries in only Eternal Punishment being localized during the PS1 era and then only Innocent Sin during the PSP era

Did Sabi deconfirm Namco?

Nope; quite the opposite in fact

Here we go again Wright bros.

 

[BZL8]

Begun, the leaker wars have.

 

[yeet123]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

IF THIS IS TRUE.... my bet is KOS-MOS

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

kay, the joker comparison was a bad example, my bad

what I should've said was there is no standard for who gets revealed at the game awards

I doubt Sakurai and the smash team picked the 5th character in the mindset that they'd be revealed at the game awards

everyone acts like it's a second e3 or something when it really isn't. The awards show aspect of it makes it really hard for non engilsh peeps to follow along

if it ends up being someone like KOS-MOS, so be it

 

[AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea]

Yeah I think i'm going to tap out and just wait until Thursday

 

[Michael the Spikester]

It begins...

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Wasabi outright accusing Veggieboy of being wrong right now. If this was all a bait from Jon then both sabi and vergeben have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

So...Phoenix Wright is back in the running again!?

Back to court then.

 

[Hinata]

There is a point where we needed to stop and we have clearly passed it.

BUT LET'S KEEP GOING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

 

[Izanagi97]

I'm just gonna wait for the images to fix themselves so I can actually read what Fatman posted earlier (the post with all the images)

 

[Opossum]

Bruh, this is really Civil War.

Except with characters that are way less likeable.

So the comic version of Civil War. Ayyyyyyy

 

[PsySmasher]

Leaker drama continues as Sabi is now saying Verge is wrong and the character is from the deconfirm list.

It's literally Guess Who at this point, but exhausting!

Oh for ****s sake...

Can we just get to the VGAs at let them reveal the character already so leakers can shut the **** up

Jesus Christ this is annoying

 

[yeet123]

OK Xenoheads, somebody fill me in on KOS-MOS:

-pls Show me a vid of moveset potential
-pls show me what her stage could be
- and pls show me what her victory theme would be

Thanks!

Might be true, but it feels like a surefire way to give people false hopes.

 

[Deleted member]

This joke hurts because it is so true.

 

[TwiceEXE]

So Sabi says Sony is dead, as expected by almost everyone.

 

[Metal Shop X]

OK, first off:

Here we go again Wright bros.

Why is this song so catchy?

Second:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

IF THIS IS TRUE.... my bet is KOS-MOS

Well, is the end of this saga coming close?

Find out next time, on Smash Speculation Z!

So the comic version of Civil War. Ayyyyyyy

You don't know how much I wanted to say that, but I wasn't sure on the moment

 

[MissingGlitch]

Why is this song so catchy?

Good luck getting it out of your head now. You're welcome.

 

[osby]

So the comic version of Civil War. Ayyyyyyy

Comic version at least had Young Avengers, what do leakers have?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Well, is the end of this saga coming close?

Find out next time, on Smash Speculation Z!

You don't know how much I wanted to say that, but I wasn't sure on the moment

This time on Smash Speculation Z!

There's no reveal at the VGA.

Chaos endures.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh for ****s sake...

Can we just get to the VGAs at let them reveal the character already so leakers can shut the **** up

Jesus Christ this is annoying

I honestly agree.

People are taking the word of the leakers too personally, when we should all just stay calm and wait until the Game Awards to see who was right and who was wrong in the end.

It’s just less than five days away, I’m sure many of you can kill that time in a good way.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

HEAVEN OR HELL

FINAL DUEL

LET'S ROCK

 

[I.D.]

"By the way here's a ****ing 30 item list of characters and companies that are not fighter 5"
"JK LOL it's actually one of the previously deconfirmed characters"

I think I'm starting to enjoy watching insiders squirm like this after all

 

[Lamperouge]

Well, the KOS-MOS train was fun while it lasted...

 

[Metal Shop X]

Good luck getting it out of your head now. You're welcome.

Well, what can I say, beside AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Droodle]

At this point until an official leaker comes out and states BLANK is character 5, I'm just going to ignore their statements.

Judging from what Sabi states, my bet is on KOS-MOS; but I'm getting tired of this whole act that Sabi and Vergeben have going on. We're only 3 days away, and I should probably study for Finals.

I should really, really study for finals.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

I think that what's happening right now is Vergeben (or his source) don't know that Kos-Mos is Bandai character. This is why Vergeben delete Nintendo on his second list of developers that the character isn't from (he probably think that Kos-mos is Nintendo/Monolith). Sabi might know that Kos-mos is Bandai, so they're saying that vergeben is wrong about his "not from these developers" list.

 

[zeldasmash]

I witnessed all of Smash 4's speculation, and there was A LOT of complaining.

Wii Fit Trainer - "Just think of who we could've gotten if this waste of a character didn't exist."
Pre-Rosalina - "Sakurai seems fine with the main 4 Mario characters. Plus, she'll just end up as a Peach clone anyway."
Greninja - "Dude, I swear if Mewtwo doesn't get in but this thing does..."
Miis - "Eww. Gross."
Palutena - "Don't care about her. Just another point for Gematsu I guess."
Lucina - "Did anyone ask for this?"
Shulk - "Literally never heard of this guy."
Dark Pit - "So we can get two Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus characters, but no Metroid or DK?!"
Duck Hunt - " 'Hey, Sakurai! We want Mewtwo!' 'Okay. Duck Hunt it is.' "
Bayo - "Cool. Now where's the REAL ballot winner, K. Rool?!"

1) Yeah, it was rather baffling seeing her for the first time, especially after Mega Man.
2) There was a bit of mixture of reactions for Rosa. Hype or indifference. Little Mac was well received as a whole.
3) Accurate
4) Very mixed opinions on these guys to say the least
5) Accurate, though people were hype for her as well.
6) "Why is she in the game for the same reasons Chrom was kicked out?" This was a crazy time...
7) Pretty accurate, though there were people who were clamoring for him to be in even before the ESRB leak confirmed him.
8) Easily the most hated addition in Smash 4
9) Accurate, though people weren't surprised due to him being quite retro
10) Bayo is Bayo.

Seeing Snake take center stage in “Everyone is here” made it all worth it in the end.

This is what makes Snake such an important character in Smash history. He showcased not 1, but 2 messages and pitches for Smash:

Brawl = Third Parties are in, baby.
Ultimate = EVERYONE IS HERE!

Cloud was definitely an important reveal, but Snake one-upped him for headlining 2 Smash pitches that made Smash the biggest ever crossover game in history.

IF THIS IS TRUE.... my bet is KOS-MOS

I think he’s talking about the first list of deconfirmations he made

 

[MissingGlitch]

Capcom gets deconfirmed. But not really. But deconfirmed again....unless?

 

[Flyboy]

OK Xenoheads, somebody fill me in on KOS-MOS:

-pls Show me a vid of moveset potential
-pls show me what her stage could be
- and pls show me what her victory theme would be

Thanks!

Her stage would probably be one of the ships in Episode I, such as the Woglinde.

Her Final Smash should be X Buster, Go to 4:40 to check that out.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

A broken image means they're gonna be broken.

I suggest fixing your signature then. Unless it's only showing that for me, or its intentional, then disregard.

 

[BZocky]

I think Sabi only knows about as much about Fighter 5 as anyone else on these boards.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

the fun just never stops, huh?

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Some people will be on Team Verge some on Team Sabi, but I am on Team screw them both and wait on TGA.

 

[Lamperouge]

Hm...

Has anyone tried asking Geoff about his thoughts on fighter #5?

I'm sure he would know better than anyone who it could possibly be.

 

[SKX31]

Capcom gets deconfirmed. But not really. But deconfirmed again....unless?

At this point I fully expect Phoenix to burst into real life and shout "OBJECTION!" to Vergeben and Sabi.

Because at this point, nothing is too crazy.
