Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Knight Dude]

Even taking that into account, he’d still have to have a stage to go along with him for this pass.

And unless they get a stage from MP4, which completely restarted development last January or so, we already have a stage representing Metroid Prime.

For stages, Metroid Prime has a lot it can pull from, especially since Hunters in and of itself doesn't have a stage. So as an example, Alinos or Arcterra could be a Metroid stage that goes along with Sylux. Or Phendrana Drifts. Or an Aether stage from MP2. We have like 3 other Metroid stages from the 2D games, so another from the Prime series wouldn't seem too unreasonable.

Not that I think Sylux will happen with this pass(post pass......maybe?). Just that he's an example that could think of quickly.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I wonder how many people are going to refer to the first DLC character after FP5 as "FP6" once speculation for that becomes relevant, even though it's pretty damn certain that they won't be part of the Fighter Pass, and aren't even gonna the sixth DLC character for Ultimate because Piranha Plant was also a thing.

Assuming there's a second pass I think they'd be coded as 2P1. Is it a good name? No, but the Smash community tried to call DPing on wakeup the Mama Mia

2P confirmed.

IDK if this is real or not, but that's actually brilliant, ahaha.

Can you guys imagine if the official render of CP5 was leaked? It would be a massive ****storm.

My money is on Best Buy doing it again, Joker style.

TBH... we'd spend a lot of time debating the legitimacy of it. "It's just photoshopped Zero Suit Samus with a white wig!" and whatnot. The sad part is that there have been so many elaborate fakes, even if they leaked it outright, skeptics would be somewhat justified.

FP could mean Fighter Pack. A Fighter Pack consists of a character, music, spirits, and a stage. So even thought the first post pass character isn't a part of the pass, it could still be our sixth fighter pack.

 

[Knight Dude]

Guess I have to break into your house and make you play Garou and Alpha 3. You've already tried Mega Man X at least.

 

[StormC]

I consider Piranha Plant DLC character 0, because I can.

This also.

Yeah, because so many people tend to talk about those, and not the god damn Fighter Pass.

Please Smash fans I'm begging you play more than just Nintendo games

Jokes on you I've been playing Resident Evil, Touhou, Cave Story, Phoenix Wright, Fatal Fury and others recently so I have been playing more than just Nintendo games.

Hell the only Nintendo games I've been playing recently were Smash Ultimate and Replaying XBC2 alongside Cave Story. Nintendo fans don't just play Nintendo games.

 

[KillerCage]

Anyway for me:

KOS-MOS: this song

Elma: come on, it's obvious

Black Shadow: also obvious

Gunvolt: this

Neku: this

Kasumi: this

Octoling: i mean duh

Virtually every of your choices was perfect for each character.
The odd one out was KOS-MOS as the video would work better with Reiji's possible inclusion.
I will say that "Brave New World" is a AMAZING song.

Oh I know what I'll be turning on.

Spoiler: Waluigi

Spoiler: Gordon Freeman

Spoiler: Kratos

Spoiler: Heihachi

Spoiler: Steve

Spoiler: Reimu

I like Freeman's video.
It was a trippy experience and quite catchy.

Spoiler: Kyo Kusanagi

Spoiler: Rex

Spoiler: Crash

Spoiler: Bomberman

Spoiler: Heavy

How much would you bet that the Japanese Crash Commercial song would make it into Smash if Crash was included?

linking, cuz spoilers don't help nuthin when it comes to embeds

Rhythm Heaven rep

Steve

Byleth

Elma

Min Min

Elma has quite a few choices to pick from for a celebration video.
Also Min Min's theme was fun to jam to.

Spoiler: Arle's the only one I can actually think of

As for the others, I'd probably celebrate by either watching a let's play, or just playing their game.

I need to listen to more Puyo Puyo music.

For Gordon Freeman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiQaUdPqfdE

For Agumon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBS70leI4YY

For Travis Touchdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e73EDBGrHQg

For a silent protagonist, Gordon has an excellent taste in music.

Ok but when Smash fans are claiming to have discovered tech and are naming it the dumbest **** alive when DP on wakeup is as old as the corpse of Julius Ceaser something's wrong.

Also ayyyyy good choices for games this year

They say if you go the bathroom at midnight, turn off the lights, flick water onto the mirror and chant "Smash is the only fighting game I will ever play" over and over again, Sakurai pulls you through the mirror onto King of Fighter's Stadium where you'll be killed by Ryu, Ken, and Terry using fighting game tech on you to crush your bones one by one.

The entire time a giant, demonic, grinning Sakurai looks down on you and chants "No! This isn't how you're supposed to play the game!" over and over. Palutena also giggles next to him at your misery.

The Palutena of course, just keeps Nairing while Sakurai adds 2 other characters from fighting games to have 5 of them to break the seal of Top Tier Iori, our final Smash Ultimate newcomer

fwiw i generally consider Brave New World to be Namco's unofficial "anthem" of sorts

I actually have access to Street Fighter Alpha 3, but I don't think I've played it yet because I like going in order and Street Fighter II didn't do much for me.

Hell the only Nintendo games I've been playing recently were Smash Ultimate and Replaying XBC2 alongside Cave Story. Nintendo fans don't just play Nintendo games.

My current backlog consists of Shovel Knight: King of Cards, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Battle Chasers: Nightwar, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2, with more likely to come in a few days.

Yeah sometimes you just don't have enough time to play through everything you want to I guess. With Christmas coming up there'll for sure be more games added to both of our backlogs I'm sure rather present exchanging or buying ourselves something.

I myself have a backlog of like 50+ games at least including most of the Touhou franchise (I've beaten and played a few), Megaman Legacy Collection 1, FE:TH (Black Eagles and Church route), Hollow Knight, Tales of Symphonia and more.

 

[Night Gale]

I saw Namco mentioned on this page which reminded me of a game I haven't talked about in days. Goddamn Ridge Racer.

I have a bad, bad habit of getting 99%-ish done with games and then stopping.

Cave Story: At final boss for 2 months now
TWD Season 1: Missed one achievement that I could easily do
Muse Dash: Bought the full game and have only played the first level
Mario Maker 2: 75% castle complete
Shovel Knight: Last two dungeons incomplete after 3 y e a r s
Game Dev Tycoon: Got to Xbox 360/PS3 generation and stopped

And now I'm boutta start Catherine: Full Body, which will end with the same problem most likely.

I have a serious problem and need help. Anyone know a good therapist?

Just stop worrying about it. If you are content with quitting the game at that point then be content with it.
I have countless games were I just stopped playing in the middle of it because other stuff came up and I never had the need to return to said games.

 

[Kold Pizza]

I know this is just speculation, but I feel like we’re going to get a Nintendo direct most likely in January.

We didn’t get much Nintendo news for their big franchises back at the game awards and I feel like they’re saving something big for their next direct.

 

[andree123]

What is the "chomp" theory?

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

What is the "chomp" theory?

A continuation of a joke about Chain Chomp being leaked.

 

[osby]

What is the "chomp" theory?

It's a theory that assumes I made a joke about Chain Chomp and now some people think it's real because we are that starved for news.

 

[DarthEnderX]

How far back do you think people should read every time they visit this thread?

I used to just pick up whereever I left off. But in the leadup to the Game Awards, I'd go play Pokemon for a couple hours and there'd be 5 new pages. **** that.

Fortunately, it died back down to a manageable volume after the game awards and Lesley stopped starting fights every day.

dont get it twisted: the idea of devoting any anger towards you miserable grease stains is laughable

Yeah, that's why you've been suspended, like, 5 times, because of how calm and not worked up you get...

 

[Captain Fun]

But yeah that was something actually attempted

Oh damn! Vergeben just got confirmation from his source about Fighter 5.

Chain Chomp as FP5 would be pretty cool.

That's easy to say. Not everyone can afford more than one videogame console.

Ms. Pac-Man for FP5 confirmed!

I get you. A lot of the time, when you do get a new system, it takes a few years to get it and all of the sudden, something newer is out.

But so many titles are available ON Nintendo systems that aren't just Nintendo first party. Mega Man, Street Fighter, Mega Man X/ZZX, KOF, Cuphead, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Castlevania, Octopath, MUA, DBFZ, DBXV2, Contra, Bloodstained, Fatal Fury, Metal Slug, Skullgirls, Indivisible, Untitled Goose Game, Lethal League, Guilty Gear, Ori. Hell you can even play Final Fantasy 7 on a Nintendo console now.

Of those I'm pretty sure most of them got a Nintendo Switch port of some kind or a collection.
