Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[SNEKeater]

I just want a No More Heroes 3 trailer if I'm lucky, but I'm blinking back tears just imagining Travis finally making it in. He's been my dream since Brawl and the character I've fantasized about making it in most over the years. Even though I haven't been vocal about it due to his seeming deconfirmation early in the cycle, he's always been up there in my most-wanted list. To see him finally get in after SUDA51 helped out Sakurai during Brawl development and after Nintendo gave the NMH series such good treatment this generation, especially with NMH3 coming... I might just break down in tears if I'm not too busy laughing.

This is gonna be one heck of an evening no matter what gets confirmed, or who. Hoo boy.

I've never played NMH and I'd like to. Really hoping for a port of the 2 first games for Switch or something because NMH3 has my attention but I think it would be cooler if I play the previous games before jumping into 3.

That said I think Travis would be super cool and yeah, I see him like a worthy reveal for TGA. He isn't super mainstream but he feels like a Joker pick, most of the audience would recognize him in some way or another. I would be totally happy if he gets in.

For the sake of entertain Fatman's ramblings: maaaaybe it has to do with the datamined Splatoon items that were found months ago in Fortnite.
Maybe he heard something like "Nintendo is going to do a collaboration of some kind with Fortnite" and since it wasn't specified he assumed that he could meant Jonesy in Smash (hence why the "if he's revealed tonight it's Smash related"?
Then again, he did say that he would upset a "particular fanbase" so idk.

Speculating based on a couple of Discord messages I got. I explain it in this post:

https://smashboards.com/threads/geno-♪-return-of-the-starsend-savior.446378/page-2041#post-23729754

Proof of these so-called 'thankful hints' or it didn't happen.

Rumor dovahkiin is FP5

And geno is the first post pass character

I know it has no bearing on the rumor quality, but...

...why does the second post in this thread is asking for [REDACTED]?

no thanks, i'm waiting for sex 2

 

[Night Gale]

Never played NMH before (hoping for Switch ports) but Travis looks cool as ****, so I'd be down with him in Smash.

I've only played the Letz Shake boss fight in the first game.

a lot of insiders have been messaging me, not only sharing stories of their own on how Sabi wronged them in the past but thanking me too for my posts.

It's cool that you're somehow the protagonist of your own underdog story or whatever the ****, but if all you're going to do if just publicly announce that you have information that you refuse to share then is there a point in declaring such?

Yeah Fortnite and Nintendo being buddy buddy would certainly upset the "old game good new game bad" part of the Nintendo fanbase

damn i decided to check the post and what in ****'s name am i reading

With this whole Sabi business the past week, a lot of insiders have been messaging me, not only sharing stories of their own on how Sabi wronged them in the past but thanking me too for my posts

 

[Lamperouge]

Can you speculate how many fingers I'm holding up right now, Fatmanonice ?

...

Eh, fair enough, carry on then.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

oh goodie...

leaker drama once again

 

[Deleted member]

in a group chat with obama he gave me his email password

i ain't telling tho

 

[Cutie Gwen]

damn i decided to check the post and what in ****'s name am i reading

"And then the President showed up to shake my hand and ordered to have Geno included, then Sakurai and I had dinner together"

 

[osby]

Maybe the real Fighter 5 was the leaker drama all along.

 

[Will]

I swear, people handpick the most random and discreet 4chan archived textleak off the street and say that people have been spreading it around as a rumor. Sounds more like your friend Tyler is trying to see if his textpost is convicing enough to get passed around. It isn't.

damn i decided to check the post and what in ****'s name am i reading

ego masturbation

Oh god oh **** Sabi and Verge were so coy because they'd be FP5 together!

 

[Lighteni]

Oh my god who cares about this ****.

 

[Will]

bro you wont believe it, all of sabi's sources thanked me for my hard work and said she's evil!

oh cool do you have the evidence to back that u-

and i got all the information for the next month and what's in store!

ok but the evide-

but i gotta keep a low profile on them and be vague, you gotta understand!

Oh my god who cares about this ****.

that's all we gotta say

 

[Schnee117]

This is some self-insert fanfic bs lmao

 

[Fatmanonice]

Can you speculate how many fingers I'm holding up right now, Fatmanonice ?

Seriously, what's the point in posts like this?

 

[Deleted member]

So guys, this KOSMOS fanart's pretty lit

 

[Metal Shop X]

The real good thing about fighter 5 being reveal is that we can finally move on from this leaker crap.

Just freakin' say who it is if you know it, don't act like a bad show or anime with thousand of fillers between episodes.

And if you really can't say it, then don't say anything. Silence is sometime better.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh my god who cares about this ****.

Based on the last page a decent amount of people apparently

 

[TheCJBrine]

I find it funny how Burb accused Fatman of lying about stuff yet the stuff he mentioned ended up being things Fatman always clarified as speculation based off the things in their discord and nothing more. There was the thing where Fatman thought Sabi made the Jonesy post, but he could've just had the wrong idea about that.

Then people bring up "he was wrong about the Grinch leak and Erdrick and stuff" when all that was before he had connections with Sabi. Not to mention Burb never said the things Fatman said the character names and such he heard from the discord was all lies.

But nah, let's ignore all this, and pretend y'all are somehow better for constantly crapping on him when he's brought up and acting high and mighty. No one gives a crap about Sabi blackmailing people and whatever the frick else. If y'all are mad because "Geno cult," blame the people who took what he said as 100% fact. Admittedly I'm guilty of taking some of what he said very seriously too, though it was only the thing where he saw most insiders giving Geno at least a 50% chance.

I know right but reminder these are not always wrong

Then the bull**** continues on into post-pass!

Yippee...

 

[Will]

I know right but reminder these are not always wrong

the ones that aren't wrong are either super-specific or have photographic evidence (i.e. Piranha Plant, ESRB leak, Ken leak)

this is just a near bare minimum of how to construct a text leak

 

[Gentlepanda]

i actually went around sakurai's house and played smash against him

our matches were about 50/50

or i may have been winning



anyway buy my game, deltarune episode 2

Have the cake and eat it too you know.

 

[yeet123]

Any "leak" that claims to know of a Direct in Jan as well as who Fighters 5 and 6 are is a load of barnacles

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So the calm is over and we're now in the first part of the storm where the wind picks up.

I'mma hunker down before the football sized hailstones rain down.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Yippee...

ngl, this was the one thing I wasn't looking forward when more DLC were approved.

Still hope the next saga of leak will be less "drama" and more to the point, if you get what I'm sayin'.

 

[Polan]

"i'm speculating but actually my totally real insider friends told me this" seriously foh with this vague rumor mongering. ****s obnoxious

 

[ThatOneAnon]

It's nice that fighter pack 5 still hasn't actually leaked and the only reason a lot of people suspect KOS-MOS is cause of that text leak predicting certain things I'm pretty sure most people knew anyways
It's gonna be someone no one expects

 

[Deleted member]

oh we dont care about him

we care about making ****posts about him

Same difference honestly

 

[Will]

Any "leak" that claims to know of a Direct in Jan as well as who Fighters 5 and 6 are is a load of barnacles

for once i agree with this man

Same difference honestly

you just haven't mastered the craft of ****posting, thomas
