I came up with a stupid idea: Assist Trophy DLC (like, it would probably just come bundled with actual fighters)

Tetris Blocks: Fall from the sky and crush people when summoned

Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan: Appear and cheer on the character that summoned them. This gives the summoner temporary stat boosts and stuff

Rambi: Runs people over

King Hippo: Slowly lumbers around. Packs a nasty punch if he nails someone though

Polar Bear: Jumps, causing the screen to go up, which raises the bottom blast zone

Stanley the Bugman: Sprays people with his bugspray

8-bit Donkey Kong: throws barrels around

also bring back some old assist trophies like Helirin and Ray

Pretty sure the Geno thread wasn't locked again due to any new drama, just to sort out all the reports from yesterday, not sure why they reopened the thread at all then but whatever

Y'know, after last night I think I really am gonna double down on Travis getting in Ultimate at some point. We know Nintendo has been working with Marvelous and they've been promoting Grasshopper's games as big deals for the Switch, with both TSA and now NMH3 getting major trailers in major Nintendo events.

I'm not saying it's definite, because I never say anything is definite, but I do think now is his best time since Brawl. I think the timing is better too than it was back then, because TSA added even more great moves to the guy and NMH3 looks like it's gonna be absolutely crazy.

Even just thinking of the possibility has me giddy. In a lot of ways, Travis is right there with Lloyd and others in terms of being a huge fan want that was deemed impossible for a while. I'm really hoping it's his time.

This was originally shared by BZL8 BZL8 in the 2B thread, but I think it's worthy to put into here for speculation purposes.

Sakurai and Yoko Taro in the same room? 2B incoming? Or since Hideki Kamiya is there too... Astral Chain's Akira Howard?

Here is his post:

If you want to entertain something, Nier series producer Yosuke Saito announced a Christmas Niconico livestream/interview he is hosting with several Japanese developers including Sakurai and Yoko Taro. Joining them include Square-Enix's Takashi Anzai, PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya, and former Square-Enix employee Jin Fujisawa.

Y'all want a theory on Fighter 5?

I think 5 will be someone who was not playable in a Smash Bros game.

Yeah, I think he has a 80% chance as a Post-FP fighter at this point. I would be surprised if he didn't make it.

What if you wanted to talk about Smash?

But Smashboards said.

Looks like we'll be picking up the pieces after VGA for a while.

Anyone willing to give a summary so far?

Yoko Taro created Nier.
Nier is a Square Franchise.
Tetsuya Nomura is a part of Square.
Tetsuya Nomura and Sakurai have a good relationship.
Nomura created Cloud.
Cloud is in Smash.
Nomura created Neku.

Yep, I'm thinking Neku is 100% confirmed as FP 5.

Anyone remember the Daisy Theory?

I recall 2B is associated with a kind of flower which Daisy is named after.

I will give Fatman credit for one thing. He has convinced me that Geno is never getting in with how sure he is that Geno will get in.

How can you can have such exquisite taste.

I'm still on the Yuri train myself, but it's a losing battle trying to talk to the Smash community about Yuri getting in over Lloyd.
Its hard to get anyone to listen about Yuri pff because it boils down to "Sakurai said this about Lloyd"

The problem is that the Daisy theory may as well be a Rorschach test with how many characters can fit it.

Like, you can just as easily say it's Edelgard due to being a royal associated with flowers and her theme song, Edge of Dawn, being put on iTunes yesterday.

You can say it's for Waluigi because like Daisy, he's a Mario character known for spinoffs.

You can say it's Crash because he's orange and has a five letter name.


The Daisy picture is useless for narrowing down a candidate.

All previous leaks have been debunked and hold no water. We're back to speculation based on nothing.

Why isn't this already a thing? It sounds like something that should have already been in smash lol
Because lore-wise, that wasn't Donkey Kong that threw the barrels; it was Cranky Kong. Or at least Kranky Kong hinted as much in the old Donkey Kong Country games lol.

On another note, thinking of that whole 'console timeline' thing they've shown (previously including the Neo Geo), maybe instead of another series, we need to look at another console for a hint at the rep. Like the Sega Saturn or something. Sakura Wars rep maybe?

Weirdest thing is, it (edit, actually a fan drawing it seems) is a major What If already:

So, ummm, we're back on "What's Sakurai's favorite?", "Who is Sakurai meeting up with?" etc. territory.

Even if Square forgets about TWEWY/Neku, Nomura will just put Neku in KH4.

What a madlad.

I know the feeling, I've been telling people that I think both Yuri and Lloyd have around a 50/50 chance of getting in over each other; but they just use the Mii costume and Sakurai's statement about Lloyd as an argument to pretty much dismiss any chance Yuri has. When in truth, that's not really hard evidence. Yuri's game hadn't even released on a Nintendo console at that point.

Sakurai was hesitant on Cloud, the face of JRPGs, being in Smash because Cloud had almost no presence on Nintendo consoles; no wonder he would think Lloyd is a better fit then Yuri at that point because Yuri's presence on Nintendo consoles was even lower then Cloud. And Yuri is nowhere as iconic as CLoud either.

And yet Yuri is way more popular the Lloyd if those polls are anything to go by. So popular, that they yoinked him from the tales popularity polls and put him in hall of fame status

I mean i'd be down for either Lloyd or Yuri but I can't deny I much prefer Lloyd. Dual blades is helluva badass and i'd love to see how Sakurai goes about his moveset.

Also, I like his moveset in SSF2 as well so that's an added bonus.

I doubt it'll happen, but it's be cool if the DLC lasted long enough for a BotW 2 character to be considered.

Kinda stinks that even the Ultimate Smash game might not be capable of giving us another unique Zelda rep.
