The Super Sentai are Fighter 5.

In non-Japanese versions, they are renamed to "Power Rangers" and their attack animations are replaced with stock footage from the Japanese version of the game.

 

[nessdeltarune00]

Just to drum up speculation, can I just say who I think that Sakurai photo could be INTERPRETED as a hint for?


Olympic tier straw grasping, but we have nothing atm, so we might as well reach as much as we can.

They also come with this version of the western theme:

I don't know what you're thinking, but it's clearly another Homura tease. Nearly the entire Madoka dub cast is in Persona 5, Joker's got his gun out, and the purple Joker (matching Homura's gem color) is in the front. He's been teasing her for 6 years now, and Nintendo has a good relationship with SHAFT.

Only problem is she doesn't fit with Belt Theory or Weight Theory. I guess she'll be post pass.

Inb4 people ask if this is a Smash hint.

Dang could Sakurai be hinting that Joker from Persona 5 is coming to Smash?

 

[KillerCage]

That's honestly the really weird part of him. He just got a Switch port and now everyone is putting him on a Geno-level of hype. Dear me.

Anyway, heard about that Harada tweet. Everyone's pessimistic, I know, but still.

FP5 has to be female. God help me now.

Do not start this female character &*()$#!% again.
I would welcome another girl to the roster, but being a female SHOULD NOT BE A REQUIREMENT FOR FP5!
Besides even if FP5 is not a woman, there is more DLC on the way.

No way, Joker uses guns and guns are not okay.

Please, bring out whatever wild theories you have! This is the funnest time for Smash speculation, when there's no clear idea of who's coming next and we can throw up any character for discussion. Just remember not to take it too seriously

Is it bad to express what you want to say here? It's definitely freedom of speech.

Come on...I said this before; I do not have faith in future DLC. Don't make me think about that as well damn it.

Agree, I'm starting to get sick of "FeMale fIghTer 5!!!".

Y'all are joking but I would gladly take this as our second Namco rep.

 

[nessdeltarune00]

Yeah, if people were using the Daisy image as a hint, I’m going to do the same for my most wanted, lol.

Spoiler

And so? Have a problem? Do you not want more females in the game?

I have no hope for future DLC.

Considering how two chairs were enough to cause Skull Kid's popularity to temporarily skyrocket, I don't think Sakurai should be giving the Smash community any hints. We can't handle them.

But here's a question for you: WHY can't we handle something like that?

For those of you familiar with it, there is a weight loss method called intermittent fasting that claims you can lose weight by controlling your eating window. (For example, you eat only during an 8 hour period that's the same every day. During the other 16 hours, you can have nothing but water.) What this does is it causes your body to utilize fat deposits for energy during the fasting periods because there are no calories to pull from food. However, if you wait too long, your body will enter a starvation mode, which is when your body will use anything and everything for fuel, especially your muscles. And when you eat again, a lot of what you consume will be stored as fat because your body doesn't know whether or not you'll eat again. You'll have a bigger appetite because you're storing more of the food for later, causing you to eat more and gain more fat. This will hopefully return back to normal, but it could create a new bar for how much you eat, also leading to gaining weight. So the idea with the intermittent fasting is to eat right before the starvation state happens for optimal efficiency.

With the Smash community, we act like a body in starvation mode. We hardly ever get fed, so we're always looking for food. And whenever we get a nibble of anything remotely nutritious, we gobble it up as if it's real news. Unsatisfied, we search desperately for another meal, scouring the garbage can that is 4Chan and even visiting LaxChris for an expired snack. However, if we we're fed something small - actually fed - every once in a while by the Smash team, we would discuss and speculate, sure, but that's because we're ok for a bit. We might have our tummys rumble eventually, but if Sakurai and his team observed the fasting method properly, they would know when to feed us again. (In sales, this is sometimes called the "itch cycle".) We would be more satisfied, but also consistently excited about the next meal. As someone that uses intermittent fasting myself, I look forward to every meal more, but not in a way that I die if I don't eat exactly when my window starts.

I think that's why the community comes off as bat-shiz crazy is because we're always hungry. It's also ehy when a character is revealed, we're all like, "Yeah ok...next?" We eat is so fast that we don't get to savor it! I think Nintendo could drum up the same - if not more - hype by giving us official, little things to chew on every once in a while.

I don't have a problem.

Hush, fine.

No, people are just fed up and annoyed with your one track mind and the constant looking for trouble.

It's possible to want more representation in the game without being so obnoxious and frankly, it's people like you that give chuds ammo.

 

[Will]

And so? Have a problem? Do you not want more females in the game?

It's your gimmick, Lesley. Some people get sick of gimmicks after a while.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would be against a fighter just for what their genitals are, but if it's your one personality trait to advocate for them, well that's something else.

Clearly Sakurai's picking Cod: MW's Captain Price:

Belt theory? Check.
Weight theory? Check.
Has gun? Will shoot. (guess the reference on that one)
Colors? You betcha.

It's all lining up for the 360noscopes, folks

No way, Joker uses guns and guns are not okay.

Time to speculate then: what does this mean for Doomguy's and KOS-MOS chances?

it's obviously batman, he's gotta take down all the jokers

I'm not looking for trouble here. I'm just saying what I want to say. If you don't want trouble, then don't just dogpile on me for that reason. If you're fed up with my one-track mind, then sorry. I can say what I want to say.

It's not my one personality trait. I'm just doing my thing. It's all personal preference; there's no need to attack me for it.

 

[Will]

You asked for a response and I gave you honesty.

The first thing people tend to associate with you is what you're most known for; the #1 female advocator. I don't think that's disrespectful to acknowledge it.

No. You have the right to express whatever you are feeling on this thread.
The PROBLEM is that you are shoving your opinion down everyone's throats.
It's this sort of behavior that shuts down discussion threads.
I don't know exactly what happened at the Geno thread that caused it to close shortly after TGA, but I do know you were involved.
Besides we don't know how the future is going to pan out.
Are Nintendo characters back on the table? Are we still sticking to just third-party characters?
Right now it is a waiting game, so just be patient and have some faith.
I'm the kind of guy that tries to be optimistic.
Still waiting for Master Chief to get into Smash.

I’m a Reimu supporter and I quite frankly think that your mentality of “FEMALE FP5 OR ELSE” is incredibly obnoxious. Indentity politics really don’t matter for most of us, and we don’t want you shoving it down our throats.


Ironically, the way you have been acting will eventually lead to a handful of people hoping that FP5 is male, thus hurting your cause.

 

[Will]

FP5 or not, I've seen a lot of people saying that Travis Touchdown is guaranteed sometime next season.

Wonder why that is. I'm all for it, I love Suda51 games, but everyone suddenly hopping on the Touchdown Train feels like there's a correlation behind it.

About the Geno thread, Burb and Fatman had a fight with some trolling which caused said entire to become a war and was shut down 2 times. Have I got it right?

 

[Garteam]

No matter what happens, this DLC was a failure...

I mean, you're gonna do a Dragon Quest pack and not give us a Yangus spirit? Green biker Wario on the Wulu Island bridge with Death's Scythe: it writes itself.

Everything else has been great, but some sins simply cannot be forgiven.

Most probably. The toxicity happened before TGA and...umm..was it couple days ago? But yeah, it got shut down twice.

Pretty much, people can't behave on that thread. The people on the Geno thread didn't do **** to deserve it either, they just got strung into it on their home turf. Makes me just wanna sacrifice FP5 for Geno so they can finally rest in peace.

He just feels like a natural fit for some reason, like Banjo and Hero.

The DLC isn't made to please everyone, but hey, at least some people are still fine with it. It's natural.

 

[Will]

I mean, I could see it continuing from the Kencineroar trailer, like how Banjo continued from K. Rool's.

Fits in with Travis' games for him wanting to be #1 of the WVBA or something and the fact that he's obsessed with wrestling.

 

[Garteam]

That's fair, not everyone has to like the DLC, but I was admittedly ****posting. I love my baby boy Yangus and his undying affection for the Guv, but I'm still over the moon Dragon Quest VIII is in Smash at all.

On a side note, Dragon Quest XI is amazing, even if playing it for hours on end is overheating my Switch.

 

[Will]

Hadokeyblade What bothers me the most about people getting on the Touchdown train is that people don't care about the violence.

Doomguy? Ew, too bloody.
Travis? Aw, innocent angel, come right on in.

I think that's probably why they censor Sabi and Verge's names whenever they bring up leakers, the names pretty much became associated with drama.

[Arcanir]

Wanting a female character next is understandable, I don't think anyone here would be upset if the next character was female and there are many good choices out there that can still be in the game such as Lara Croft. However, just like with everything you can't do things in excess and expect people to respond positively to it. Looking at the situation, every time this point has popped up it's been forced into the conversation to an extent that it's derailed threads and has even turned the discussion negative and arguably toxic due to way it gets warped around it. That is not a good way to push your cause and as said before, only serves to make people more dismissive of it or even actively go against it out of spite. You have to find a middle ground in bringing it up in discussion, otherwise you're going to push people away.

Well, for me he's always been among my most-wanted and TSA and NMH3 brought the series back with a bang. I think it's just that he's always been a huge fanbase want, but one that wasn't really talked about. People are just finally expressing their hope out loud now that the series is continuing. It helps that everyone knows the story of Suda51 wanting him in and that he keeps bringing it up in interviews.

 

[Deleted member]

Travis Touchdown and Doomguy would both be cool.
