Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

For a Gen 8 rep, Galarian Pokemon trainer would be sick if you ask me. I'm aware that the amount of work it would require for a single DLC character makes it unlikely to happen but still, not impossible considering that Sakurai is a madman (in the best sense of the word).

As for their hypothetical Pokemon lineup, the 3 starters i guess, maybe something like Grookey, Raboot and Inteleon.

 

[TheYungLink]

I'm sort of sick of final evos and other tough anthro Pokemon being chosen as fighters. When was the last time we had a small cute Pokemon in Smash? Brawl with Squirtle, I guess.

If there is a new Pokemon I want it to be cute and small for a change.

If it makes you feel better, I wanted the Sun and Moon Pokémon to be Rowlet. Not Decidueye or Incineroar, just Rowlet. I'm fine with Incineroar but yeah, it would be nice to have a small cute Pokémon become playable again.

Man, I’d be SCARED if Dante was announced. Not cause of anything relating to Phoenix’s chances, but mainly cause he’d literally be Bayonetta with a sword and a comeback mechanic in the form of Devil Trigger. ****’s scary.

I've seen what he can in UMVC3. It doesn't look like a fun time for the receiving end of that.

Just wait til you see his brother.

 

[Jomosensual]

Finished up my predictions for this fighters pass. I'm confident on about 2 of these. 50/50 on Lloyd/Heihachi and Phoenix/Dante right now and Zed is basically a wild hail mary with a little evidence behind him.

"I'm motivated!"

Sometimes I want to think on a ToyAgumon echo, if only cause there's not enough Toy variants to fill out costumes well. But before that, we had generally even costumes till Joker and Meta Ridley, so... eh. Though it's not much easier for ToyAgumon's costumes, really. ClearAgumon is literally just a slightly see-through ToyAgumon. ToyAgumon(Black)/ShadowToyAgumon is a distinct color. You could probably throw in BushiAgumon and SantaAgumon, I guess? Either way, Agumon has tons of potential costumes thanks to the over 10 variants. My general thought would be this;

• Agumon(Yellow)
• Agumon(Black)
• Agumon(White)
• Agumon Hakase[No wand, hat colors instead]
• Agumon(Yellow, Savers Version)
• Agumon(Black, Savers Version)
• Agumon(White, Savers Version)
• Nise Agumon Hakase[No wand, hat colors instead]

Kraid better come with his fake colors~

I can't really say on the other ones cause I don't know the colors all that well. Though I'm probably one of the few people who don't care about the Dante reboot design and would be fine with both. I think his original design works good for the first costume, though.

The coolest part of hypothetically having agumon is that he'd obviously be put in a Bowser JR or Hero type deal since he has alts that are different species entirely, like snow Agumon, Black Agumon and 2006 Agumon

I see no problem with this.

Give him style switching and unique moves for every style too. He’d be very powerful, but very difficult to master.

Definitely not newb friendly, and I’m ok with that.

I have my doubts about whether he’ll get in. Would be nice but I’m not expecting it.

 

[Icedragonadam]

So the way I see it.

Crash is the Doom Guy for Vol 2.
Dante is the Steve for Vol 2.

Is this right?

Doom 2016 But Every Gunshot Plays A Woah Clip

Steve has a large hatedom, Dante doesn't and the only thing people have against Dante are people who think the balance team will suddenly **** the bed or Nintendo purists

More people like Steve than hate him, though, based on twitter and an animated moveset concept’s likes on Youtube.

Though yeah I guess there are more people in the hardcore fanbase who don’t like him than there are who don’t like Dante.

You're gonna have to explain how, man. I'm not seeing any similarities between the pairs.

I saw this a few days ago, this template looks real fun because of how specific it is.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

As for me, the choices I'd go for are:

6) Adol Christin (Ys)
7) Paper Mario
8) 2B (NieR: Automata)
9) Reimu Hakurei (Touhou)
10) Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong Country)
11) Master Chief (Halo)

I never claimed he didn't have fans, I'm well aware most of the hate Steve gets is from 40 year old neckbeards who think that whatever game kids today like is the reason that the boomer ****s have an unfulfilled life

You're gonna have to explain how, man. I'm not seeing any similarities between the pairs.

Tbf I can kinda understand Crash and Doomguy, both started getting more common in speculation but neither may end up happening, albeit for different reasons

We posted an excerpt of this somewhere else, but here's the full battle. Inspired by the current Picture of the Day.

KatKit : Do the thing.

The Goddess of Light won't win this fight
You will cower at the might of the Darkest Blight
I'm not gonna lie
The b**** hangs with an angel who can't even fly
Just look at the guy
Your boy toy can't read a book
And your right hook is worse than you cook
My malevolence usurps your benevolence
While my s*** sales, you twerps stay irrelevant

 

[KatKit]

KatKit : Do the thing.

Spoiler: Reporting for duty

The Goddess of Light won't win this fight
You will cower at the might of the Darkest Blight
I'm not gonna lie
The b**** hangs with an angel who can't even fly
Just look at the guy
Your boy toy can't read a book
And your right hook is worse than you cook
My malevolence usurps your benevolence
While my s*** sales, you twerps stay irrelevant

So insignificant compared to my omnipotence
Though such impertinence is rare so have my condolence
This is all pretend, friend; now watch as I ascend and transcend
Taking on forms you can not comprehend
In the end, I know everything, so let me help ya think
About how many times you died by Link
Talkin' smack about my boy Pit
When you're the one who always gets their butt kicked
Despite all of that power, you still need to be stronger
I'd bash ya with this staff except your nose is longer
Let's try to process your success
You can't even beat a princess, and I'm a Goddess
Now, reflect as you kneel to the ill mirror shield I wield on the battlefield
Bow, as I strut with these miracle, lyrical skills and that sex appeal
It's no big deal
To watch you squeal
Beneath these heels
Before you're sealed
And I'm no cook, but you're mistaken
It took no effort to fry your bacon
With regards to relevancy, I have no fear
Because it's funny how all of you remain bottom tier

More on topic... Byleth is almost out, so that's cool. I wonder what kind of balance changes the update will bring. Season 1 will be over, so I expect a little more balance adjustments than usual.

I can afford it, so I'm gonna get season 2 ASAP. I don't know if they're going to reveal anything any time soon, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they teased the first season 2 character next week.

Say, that pic of the day is awfully similar to the opening of 3H... Could this be a hint that a 3H character is DLC?

 

[GoodGrief741]

I think he means their the new never evers.

In that case, I don't think the community sees any of those characters as unlikely. Well, maybe Doomguy, for obvious reasons.

Oooh, let me try:

6. Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
7. Isaac (Golden Sun)
8. Dante (Devil May Cry)
9. Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed)
10. Rex & Pyra (Xenoblade)
11. Sora (Kingdom Hearts)

Rate my pass. I'd say it's pretty balanced all things considered, but you could say that it rises in (general) hype rather than wanes so it's kind of unrealistic in that aspect.

 

[perfectchaos83]

You're gonna have to explain how, man. I'm not seeing any similarities between the pairs.

The comparison I see for Crash to Doomguy is "Leaked early, but not actually in the pass but stays in speculation for some reason"

No idea on Steve on Dante. I'd rather compare him to Hayabusa.

Who said Ganondorf can only be killed with Master Sword?

 

[DarthEnderX]

Give him style switching and unique moves for every style too. He’d be very powerful, but very difficult to master.

That literally never works for game balance.

Anyone that plays at a competitive level is going to be good enough to master any character. So if you make one character stronger, everyone is going to play it, no matter how difficult it is.

All you accomplish is making a character that's not fun for lower skill players.

For a Gen 8 rep, Galarian Pokemon trainer would be sick if you ask me.

[insert generation here] trainer is posted as a wish by a lot of people

but no you're gonna get baboom and you're gonna like it

 

[Ben Holt]

I had an idea once for a Pokémon Trainer that plays like Joker with Arsene.
By default, it would be Red with Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Pikachu, Lapras, and Snorlax.
But a Hoenn alt could replace Charizard with Flygon, Snorlax with Slaking, etc.

Like, the Pokémon are his moves.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Pokemon Trainer is one of my most disliked characters. Getting rid of transformation characters is one of the best things they did in Smash 4, and the fact that Trainer brought it back is infuriating. And the idea of getting another one of those, even moreso.

I'd much prefer if each of Trainers Pokemon was a separate character. And then every Pokemon character besides Mewtwo just had it's own Trainer.

 

[DMTN]

I just realized I want Yume Nikki in Smash. How do I get rid of this highly unrealistic wish?

Obviously I'd prefer a playable Trainer that's not just a background prop.
If Villager can fight, so can Red. Plus, it's got free pallet swaps.

Do the same thing I do with all my hella unrealistic wants.

Keep wanting them, accept they'll never get in, and SUFFER.

 

[Ben Holt]

I used to consider Simon Belmont an unrealistic want back in Smash 4...
But here we are with two Belmonts.
Edit: Now my new unrealistic want is RuneScape Hero. With a Down-B that swaps between Bob, Dragon Armor, Infinity Robes, and Black Dragonhide.
And the armor would power up some moves and power down other moves, just like in RuneScape.
Bob would be neutral.
Dragon Armor would resist ranged attacks but be weak to magic (energy) attacks.
Infinity Robes would resist melee attacks but be weak to ranged attacks.
And Black Dragonhide would resist magic attacks while being weak to melee attacks.

 

[DMTN]

Do the same thing I do with all my hella unrealistic wants.

I have only given up on wanting a character once, and that's Ghirahim. He was one of my most wanteds back in Smash 4. That's also when he had his best shot, because Skyward Sword was the most recent Zelda game at that point in time. Now that Skyward Sword is 9 years old, I think he missed his chance forever. It's a miracle he's even an Assist Trophy.
