Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Izanagi97]

Welp, this is gonna be fun, and not just because I finished a long run of AI Dungeon 2

 

[I.D.]

And people call me crazy for censoring the name

 

[Fatmanonice]

Y'know, I never thought about asking him why he doesn't show up in general speculation though I'm probably also sure someone else asked that question (and it came up more than once) and he already answered it.

Um... Maybe because people genuinely hate me in this thread to the point that even admins have advised me not to post in here? No joke, this site has more or less quarantined me to the Geno thread. The Geno thread is one of the only places I can post and people keep their composure. Like the tehponycorn said, it's actually not an exaggeration that people unironically hate me outside Discord and the Geno thread.

 

[Faso115]

I bet its the Popeye avatar /s

 

[Fatmanonice]

Like I said, even Venus of the Desert Bloom and Strong Badam have intervened in this stuff so, just for the sake of everyone, don't tag me in this thread or even talk about me here. It always leads to fights and then some random goob uses it as justification for harassment here or Discord. There was even a doxx attempt on my parents in December over this stuff so, yeah, people are crazy and why I try to stay inside my assigned cardboard box for theories and speculation.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Will admit, I didn't even know quoting someone tags them.

 

[Deleted member]

You should call yourself Bogeymanonice since some people see you like that here lol.

I'm sorry.....that people are mean. But I do like your ideas, at least.

Being essentially forced to post on a single section of a site despite one's veteran status as a user is no bueno. You deserve better then that.

 

[Sari]

To try and lighten the mood a bit, I just finished my analysis on Quote from Cave Story and what content he could bring.

Give it a read when you have time!

 

[Turtlar]

If only we had rules stating that we should be respectful of other users and their opinions.

Oh wait.

It is what it is. Let's just say, um, not posting here is the nicest suggestion that I've gotten in private and leave it at that...

Cygames is involved in smash bros. Ultimate, thoughts?
EDIT: So, they are involved again for DLC. Maybe Cygames was contracted about future DLC?

I kinda forgot you like Cave Story despite the avi as I associate you more with SNK lmao

Granblue's already getting more attention in the west due to VS, having Smash on top of it would be ****ing wild, especially as this guy is in Granblue

Lysanderoth for Smash

They've been involved since the base game. They helped with music.

They're pretty big in Japan, so I wouldn't be surprised that gbf gets a character. That said, I think this particular info means nothing.

If they do get a character it'll probably Gran/Djeeta with a summon mechanic. Or it'll end up being one of their crossover kings like Sandalphon.

 

[Sestetz]

I know people probably aren't super excited for Ryu Hayabusa or anything, there hasn't been a Ninja Gaiden since 2014? But I think imagining his potential moveset his great, based on his original game. Sure, him clinging to the wall and just being able to hang out there would be annoying so they'd have to do something about that- Sides that though, I imagine he'd be a lot of fun to play

 

[3BitSaurus]

I mean... they are involved with FE content since the FE events in Dragalia Lost, no? I don't think it means much.

Plus I see Dragalia having a relatively better chance compared to Cygames' in-house stuff.

Hayabusa was one of the most speculated characters for like 8 months so people are a tad burned out on him, though he's generally seen as a cool option

By this logic, many characters are confirmed due to the amount of composers and companies involved with this game.

This means absolutely nothing.

Ryu Hayabusa is one of my most wanted. Being a fan of both the NES and Xbox games I can see a ton of moveset potential for him, and that's not even accounting for his Dead or Alive appearances.

People keep saying this but honestly, what's the reasoning behind it? Dragalia Lost is fully owned by Nintendo, sure, but Nintendo owns 10% of Cygames, meaning negotiations and royalties would be just as easy

 

[osby]

They're coming

If those three comes with their own Guidance/Codec, I'd pay 25 bucks for a Granblue Fantasy pack alone.

 

[I.D.]

Maybe with versus out I should finally get to making that granblue/cygames support thread (katalina not allowed)

The absolute hoops people will jump through, I swear

This is the Smash community, did you expect anything else?

 

[Herocin]

I told you all Katalina is still making it in. The rumours are still holding true

 

[Sestetz]

I told you all Katalina is still making it in. The rumours are still holding true

I bet you my arm she won't lol but yeah Granblue is relevant right now I guess

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Yes, a 20 pixel cameo in another character's moveset is truly representation equal to being a playable fighter.

still gonna stick to what I said, as I don’t see that taunt not deconfirming him (I mean, other characters with similar enough small rep haven’t become playable so far), so unless that magically backfires on me...

Spoiler

Well, I hope your most wanted character isn't The Prince of All Cosmos or Don-chan...

They gave me Byleth, I have no need for any of the 6 dlc fighters to be people I truly want...tho I won’t deny that Don-Chan would’ve made for a pretty wholesome assist trophy character

 

[Herocin]

I bet you my arm she won't lol but yeah Granblue is relevant right now I guess

I don’t think she is happening too, I was just kidding around because the idea of her getting in caused a storm around when it was leaked because people couldn’t bear the idea of a disgusting gacha character coming into any form of contact with their game imaginable even via the means of a 10 ft pole

>imagine not understanding the sarcasm in the post because it is so obvious hitagi is fake

No announcement of an direct yet huh? Well there's still tomorrow and Wednesday.

Don't get your hopes up, if it's not then there's next week! And the next week! And the next-

 

[nessdeltarune00]

They literally almost never announce Directs on Mondays

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Hopefully we do get some Smash news for a direct. It's not like Smash news only exists to show characters, they could be working on different game modes, fixing hazard-less stages so they're more competitively friendly. Maybe they're adding more past stages like Poke floats, Melee Mute City and Pac-Maze. Maybe the most unlikely of them all is they might throw a curveball and give us a surprise bonus character that isn't part of the Volume 2 fighters pass.

I know people probably aren't super excited for Ryu Hayabusa or anything, there hasn't been a Ninja Gaiden since 2014? But I think imagining his potential moveset his great, based on his original game.

I'd like to see Ryu Hayabusa mainly because like Simon and Megaman, he'd play like his NES self and I like those kinds of characters.

 

[Faso115]

What date did Mandy can say? 12th? If so, RIP his claims

 

[Opossum]

Found this.

Just wanted to say I really wouldn't put the "fantasy swordsman" thing as an actual point. The caveat was always that it was a western fantasy swordsman. That's why the discussion about that always defaulted to the Dragonborn and never included characters like Byleth, Lloyd, Adol, Rex, Isaac, Euden, Gran/Djeeta, Katalina, or Saber.
