Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

Hey so Guys, About Dante...

6:32

Could be terrible wording, but.....

I don't wanna get my hopes up, but...

I'M GETTING MY HOPES UP.

(I'm sure this is just speculation on the VA's part, and not actually a leak considering the context)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Lets remember to take what Phil Spencer said about Banjo. The same case could be here for Dante.

 

[Kokiden]

I would be very ok with Dante being in. Love the DMC series.

I'd love for Vergil to get in too but who am I kidding, that's not going to happen. Main character has priority. If he did, it'd be like UMVC3 all over again, and I'm quite ok with that xD

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Dante isn't exactly one of my most wants but I would not mind his inclusion at all.

 

[PhantomShab]

Why are we still relying on Vergeben at this point?

So people finally learned to not take his word as gospel after he de-confirmed the entire gaming industry's worth of companies?

Yep and myself included.

We could get Both. Vergil can easily use Dante has a base for Aspects of his model, Stats, and moveset, while still having his Dark-Slaying, Yamato Wielding Excellence. Plus Vergil Himself is Very Popular as well

 

[Krankees]

Dante is a tricky concept for me. I like him and I think he would be a cool addition to smash, but if he got in, it might make things harder for the Capcom rep that I want.

*vietnam flashbacks of Vergil in UMvC3*

*violently shutters*

You know not what you wish, my friend. Vergil was an unholy sin in UMvC3.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Verge is still quite credible as is. Keeping an eye on his words makes sense. That's not the same as relying on him. But it's sure as hell better than nothing or theories people make up. At least he has good track record. Sabi's still been worse, having almost nothing to even call "right" in comparison. Verge also has gotten quite a lot right about Smash, and there's only two cases at best where he was wrong; SE character being first DLC, and the Minecraft bit(Minecraft bit has already been outed as leakbait by multiple people, even members of this community). So he legitimately got the timing of one thing wrong, but still knew Erdrick was coming(which he was right, and he knew this well before anyone else).

I'd say there's a pretty good reason to keep what he says in mind. It also doesn't help he has to suffer going through an inbetween to get to the full source, meaning he can get misleading statements(the actual reason he had to note the misunderstanding of a ton of companies being out. This is also why there's even confusion on Kos-Mos in the first place). He's not reliable for general Nintendo stuff, though. Smash? Very much so. Leaks aren't that black and white either, really.

Also, Dante would be cool, yes.

Because of him being broken and overpowered?

 

[Playstation Guy 1000]

I would like to see Dante in smash bros as a playable character, I just hope his franchise won't be a spirit board event in the vein of resident evil.

 

[Leotsune]

Well, lately I have been replaying DMC4 and I think Dante could be a nice addition.
I don't think he is FP5 because of how much similarities he has to Joker, but as post pass.... instabuy for a lot of people, myself included.

Spoiler: But

I still hold hopes for Nick, they need to push the games a bit to a wider audience and he would be play like nothing we've seen before in Smash

 

[Deleted member]

As much as I'd like Dante due to the character, I fear the game's balance.

 

[Lamperouge]

Dante would be a sick way to close out the fighter pass, IMO.

 

[Ben Holt]

There isn't a special position, literally nothing backs KOS-MOS except people making conspiracy theories out of circunstancial evidence.

If Fighter 5 is KOS-MOS, you have to kiss my ass like this post.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

You know both sound equally painful, right?

 

[Hinata]

If Fighter 5 isn't KOS-MOS, you have to submit at least a 2000 word essay to this forum on why KOS-MOS isn't relevant enough or enough of a gaming icon to get into Smash.

I'm not a gambling man, but you got yourself a deal.

Pretty sure I would've done something like this already if I didn't have better things to do.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

Mind if we get more dares on him because he is the one that sticks with "inevitable characters" and stuff.

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Dante is my 2nd most wanted, so I hope this leads to something. El Donte can be a bonus echo fighter.

I'll take this bet, but also will counter. If KOSMOS is Fighter 5, you gotta write a 2000 word essay for the forum declaring how wrong you were about doubting her chances.

Sorry, but third parties aren't allowed to weigh in until the person the contract was originally proposed to accepts or denies.

Them's the rules.

What's the matter? Scared?

 

[Deleted member]

Okay...this is interesting...

Whoever FP5 is, I'm gonna write an essay too.

If FP5 is female or male, I'm gonna write an essay on why female representation is just as important as any character getting in.

As I mentioned once in the Rate Their Chances thread, she's a character on life support.

PRINCE OF ALL COSMOS POSSE ASSEMBLE!

That's not a bet, though. In order to be a true bet, your wager has to be something you don't want to do. Also, this bet literally ends with you writing an essay either way, which is lame.

Oh no would you look at that, it seems I have plans for when the direct comes out which I totally know what day it is. It looks like I'll have to take a raincheck on the whole bet thing.

Oh, my bad.

How about if FP5 is male? Got that?

 

[Izanagi97]

Welp, while waiting for a direct announcement, I finally bought the rest of the Fate games (the Wild Tangent games, not the Type-MOON ones... I was missing Undiscovered Realms, Traitor Soul, and Cursed King) and bought Dead Cells as a bonus.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh, my bad.

Pretty sure you'd want to write an essay over how female representation is important.

What would be a better wager is you'd write an essay over how unimportant diversity and inclusion is if a male fighter got in.

 

[Hinata]

Oh, my bad.

How about if FP5 is male? Got that?

How about this, if you're tryin' to get your gambling freak on?

If FP5 is male, you have to write a post, at least 2 paragraphs long, on why female reps aren't really all that important in the grand scheme of things.

Like I said, somethin' you don't wanna do.

 

[Deleted member]

Why do I feel a lot of this betting on stuff like relevancy or diversity importance will end up with petty arguments and a lot of unwarranted anger.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Right back at ya!

Wait, you're a Katamari fan?

I'll make sure to at least make my rant essay funny and well informed

And incredibly bitter.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Here I was getting interested in seeing how weird the bets were going to get. Let's step back.

You could say for Fighter Pass 5 and even beyond, all *puts on sunglasses* bets are off.

You wanna talk about weird bets? Lemme bring you back to the time a bunch of us bet our entire accounts on whether or not Erdrick would get into Ultimate.

On the plus side, it'll give me an excuse to finally watch Xenosaga
