Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[osby]

Though at the same time I can get why people might want it as Disney is what makes Kingdom Hearts as it is.

If you genuinely feel like this, more power to you!

I just saw people using Disney content in KH to gatekeep Sora while pretending to be concerned waaaay too often.

 

[Freduardo]

Hey, so here's an idea. What if Sakurai added content from your favourite game period in Smash? Assuming it already has a character, what content could they bring to make you especially excited? As my favourite game is Order of Ecclesia, it'd be adding Shanoa as a character, Albus as an AT, Rhapsody of the Forsaken, Order of the Demon, Dissonant Courage, Sorrow's Distortion, The Colossus, Lament to the Master, Jaws of a Scorched Earth, Unholy Vespers and A Clashing of Waves. All of this and I would have no right to complain ever again

but my favorite game is probably smash bros....
I guess the character is playable Primid. A Tabuu assist trophy, master core as a classic mode boss, ... it already has all the music... “Smash Run” as it’s own stage where the smash run power ups appear like stage hazards?

while Smash bros is my favorite game and I wouldn’t be opposed to this... I don’t think it counts in “most wanted” territory

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I mean, I would say it's highly possible that Sora would come with content that would probably pale in comparison to some of the other packs we've gotten. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be an excellent pack.

I think Sora getting in would be a point of amazing progress in business dealings for Smash. There's licensing not only for the character from Disney, but also a number of music tracks from the several games. I mean with Simple and Clean, and remixes of Simple and Clean (arguably the most iconic song of the franchise), that can get complicated.

It would honestly probably feel like a "hollow victory" in the sense that Cloud would be considered a "hollow victory". While I disagree with the notion that either in Smash is or would be a "hollow victory" (I mean come on, it's ****ing Cloud. AWESOME GET!) The FF7 content would be better than it already is with music tracks such as Bombing Mission, One-Winged Angel, or J.E.N.O.V.A, but it's still amazing to have Cloud in Smash as it is.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Sora could come with no songs and Id be happy

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

You may have noticed, but I've been messing around with the post color option. I'm not 100% sold on it, but I think this'll do for now. Everyone who has colors on can read it without issue right?

Sora could come with no songs and Id be happy

I'd say the same about my most wanted, but while I'd be elated if Amaterasu was in the game, Okami's songs are too good for me not to be sad if she didn't bring any music with her.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Sora could come with no songs and Id be happy

I’m just imagining an awkwardly silent Kingdom Hearts stage with like Roxas or somebody in the background, occasionally breaking the silence with a cough.

 

[GoodGrief741]

It's so weird that people who are obsessed with cuts never go to a thread focused on that subject and instead clogs this topic with constant debates that go on for pages and never anywhere productive. And mods hardly ever object to this so I can understand why people go "do we have to do this again?"

Nobody's forcing anyone to do anything. While the whole cuts discussion was going on I was talking about potential Final Fantasy newcomers. You don't find a topic interesting, you can just ignore it or come up with a new one. I don't see the point in being so up in arms about something so harmless.

And lol at the productive part. We're speculating about potential new characters in a children's game

Hey, so here's an idea. What if Sakurai added content from your favourite game period in Smash? Assuming it already has a character, what content could they bring to make you especially excited? As my favourite game is Order of Ecclesia, it'd be adding Shanoa as a character, Albus as an AT, Rhapsody of the Forsaken, Order of the Demon, Dissonant Courage, Sorrow's Distortion, The Colossus, Lament to the Master, Jaws of a Scorched Earth, Unholy Vespers and A Clashing of Waves. All of this and I would have no right to complain ever again

Earthbound's my fav game and it's very well represented, so I'm just going to cheat and say we get Porky. His stage is the Devil's Machine and he comes with them sweet missing Earthbound tracks (any are welcome, but Porky Means Business is a must).

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Just play on Spiral mountain, one of the songs on that stage sounds like KH music already lol

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

His stage is the Devil's Machine and he comes with them sweet missing Earthbound tracks (any are welcome, but Porky Means Business is a must).

This would be my favorite stage in Super Smash Flash 2...


IF THE CPUS WEREN'T TOTAL DODOS ON IT!!!

My favorite game is Legend of the Dragoon and hoo boy.

Character: Dart Feld or Rose. Dart and Rose are two of the main characters of this JRPG that wield the powers of Dragons. These powers were used during the Dragon Campaign to free all creatures born of the divine tree from their cruel rulers known as the Winglies.

Stage: Moon that Never Sets. It's the final world of the game and there is an area where it has the world of Endness in different points in history or the final Boss' stage where a new world is being created.

ATs: Lloyd. Dart's rival and a member of the most dominate race on Endness known as the Winglies. OR we could do the Virage, which were very powerful beings that were used in the dragon campaign to kill the dragoons.

Music: Legend of Dragoon's battle music sadly dont have names so I'll need to link them.

In terms of what they could bring to the table, Dart and Rose easily fight in both their normal forms and Dragoon forms. These can easily be their movesets.

Rose moveset (base):

Dart moveset (base)

Their gimmick could be once they accumulate enough SP (through attacking similar to L.Mac) they get to transform into their Dragoon forms where their movesets increase.

I got ahead of myself. Point is Dart and Rose would bring a good chunk if they were given shot in smash and they are my true number 1 pick, with 2B being my second

[Cosmic77]

I know it's shocking but maybe some people want to discuss newcomers and not cuts in a thread that's literally named Newcomer/DLC Discussion.

It's so weird that people who are obsessed with cuts never go to a thread focused on that subject and instead clogs this topic with constant debates that go on for pages and never anywhere productive. And mods hardly ever object to this so I can understand why people go "do we have to do this again?"

You say this as if cuts are brought up every day and it's the literally the only topic we discuss that isn't completely relevant to the thread. Cuts are brought up once, maybe twice a week at best, and yet that's somehow untolerable?

As long as people are being respectful, I don't see any problem with a few debates and a little disagreement. If you find them unproductive or pointless, just leave and come back later. Makes more sense than to do what several others choose to do — stay for the discussion and complain.

[Megadoomer]

What are some good Youtube channels for potential Smash movesets? I'm familiar with BrawlFan1, Delzethin, and Felicia Fan, but that's about it.

 

[DarthEnderX]

It's. Off. Topic.

In fact, it is literally the exact OPPOSITE of the thread topic. It's basically like going into a specific character request thread, and requesting a different character.

 

[I.D.]

Why are people talking as if Sora himself wasn't Disney?

 

[Idon]

Pizzadudemanguy makes a bunch of moveset videos and they come with gifs so that's really convenient.

Guess anyone talking about the next Smash game is off-topic then. People do it anyways. It's not a big deal. Leave the moderation to the moderators.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

In the Sora argument, Disney characters are synonymous with non-video game characters.

 

[Cosmic77]

It's. Off. Topic.

In fact, it is literally the exact OPPOSITE of the thread topic. It's basically like going into a specific character request thread, and requesting a different character.

At the very least, I could argue that any of the newcomers are relevant. If I'm discussing reasons why I believe they won't return in the next game, that would qualify as "newcomer speculation".

But if we're being that picky, then there's quite a few other things that shouldn't be allowed either. No more sharing Sakurai's PotD, no more discussions about veterans, no more discussions about our favorite characters unless we specifically mention Smash, and quite a few games we play in the thread wouldn't be allowed either.

Or we could just let the people intrested in talking about cuts talk about cuts instead of acting like it's the only "off-topic" discussion that shouldn't be tolerated.

 

[Arcanir]

While Black Widow and Gamora are indeed women, the game's male to female ratio went from about 1/5 to 1/6, and considering we lost a lot of popular women, a lot of people weren't happy to lose a sizeable chunk of beloved female characters, especially if one considers that there were only 4 women on Infinite's roster at launch

Oh no, I definitely understand that. Infinite's roster ratio was poor even by fighting game standards, and its even worse when you consider what female characters both Marvel and Capcom have and did use in previous games. I was just questioning why Gamora and Black Widow would get hate on that end when they're one of the few keeping it from being even worse.

They're probably not. They're probably just getting hate for being characters people don't like/find boring.

I just used them as examples of newcomers not seen as exciting when compared to what was lost, though Gamora's always been one of my go-to examples of the game's awful voice direction

I was just questioning why Gamora and Black Widow would get hate on that end when they're one of the few keeping it from being even worse.

My guess is that it's a mix between them being poor substitutes for the characters who were removed (the game lost Dr. Doom, Wolverine, Storm, Magneto, Deadpool, Sentinel, Phoenix, MODOK, etc., and those two were rather bland by comparison) and the fact that the game was already catering heavily to the MCU, (the only Marvel characters who weren't a big part of the MCU were Richard Rider as Nova, Ghost Rider, and Venom, and even then, Venom had an upcoming movie, the Nova Corps were part of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and Ghost Rider was is Agents of SHIELD) with those two making it more blatant.

 

[Garteam]

I was just questioning why Gamora and Black Widow would get hate on that end when they're one of the few keeping it from being even worse.

Gamora got a lot of hate for two reasons. First, she was a pretty out there choice even with the X-Men being off limits. Star Lord was both more expected and more requested as far as GotG characters go, while many felt that more anticipated female Marvel characters like Ms. Marvel and Scarlet Witch were thrown to the wayside for Gamora. Second, while this isn't confirmed, Gamora shares similar animations with the likes of Deadpool, Jill, and Wesker from MvC3. Seeing how Gamora's reveal was relatively close to the infamous "these characters are functions" interview with Combofiend, many accused Capcom of frankensteining moves from multiple cut characters to characters to create a new one.

Black Widow, on the other hand, was largely a victim of extremely poor timing. She was the final character in Wave 1 of MvCI's DLC (and by extension, the final character in MvCI as a whole), so she already had some pretty big shoes to fill. Likewise, many people were anticipating a Capcom character to even out the ratio between the two companies, only to get another Marvel character. Black Widow also had the misfortune of being unveiled alongside Winter Soldier, a character with a similar motif and theming. This caused many to decry MvCI's roster for having too many "military gunmen" characters.

 

[7NATOR]

Just a refresher, it's been about 2 weeks since the last spirit event, so Tomorrow we going to get Spirit event?

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I just used them as examples of newcomers not seen as exciting when compared to what was lost, though Gamora's always been one of my go-to examples of the game's awful voice direction

She sounds soooo bored, and this is coming from someone who doesn't usually notice bad voice acting/direction.

Also whoever thought it was a good idea for there to be voice clips that play on block and on wakeup is dumb. It's like they figured that everyone needs to be talking at all times.

My guess is that it's a mix between them being poor substitutes for the characters who were removed (the game lost Dr. Doom, Wolverine, Storm, Magneto, Deadpool, Sentinel, Phoenix, MODOK, etc., and those two were rather bland by comparison) and the fact that the game was already catering heavily to the MCU, (the only Marvel characters who weren't a big part of the MCU were Richard Rider as Nova, Ghost Rider, and Venom, and even then, Venom had an upcoming movie, the Nova Corps were part of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and Ghost Rider was is Agents of SHIELD) with those two making it more blatant.

Oddly enough, she uses her comic design instead of her MCU one, which is weird since, apart from Dormamu (who is just a head from what I've seen), she seems to be the only one to do this.

I think there's a Konami rep that got really popular recently and people are really sleeping on:

Spoiler: Read this after watching the video

In all seriousness, I was seeing this meme all over the internet last week and started thinking about how there's not really a soccer character that could appear in Smash: I mean, we already have the Ball as a item already, Waluigi could bring something from Strikers into his moveset and the only original video game traditional soccer character that I can remember is Allejo. There's also the Inazuma Eleven series, which has a really good potential for a moveset, but I don't know if the anime came before the game.

I don't know why this meme even become popular in the first place but i can't help but grin everytime i see it.
I wish i was as enthusiastic as the announcer in my daily life, truly a model of optimism.

Also, if we're talking Konami reps, Pyramid Head could be just... Hmpf, so good y'know ?

 

[Guynamednelson]

I don't know why this meme even become popular in the first place

Among Brazilians, they were mocking how the announcer was actually Peruvian but trying to pass as Brazilian. (It's part of a series of International Superstar Soccer ROM hacks made by a Peruvian team but meant for Brazilians.) The worldwide meme involving tricking people into watching the intro, I'm not sure.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

i'll give you Ivy and Squirtle but toon link effectively replaced young link, ice climbers was a tech limitation/balancing issue, and pichu was a character many people viewed as a joke prior to ultimate.

fox already had a semiclone giving him another felt like overkill to some.

the other problem is in context most of the FE characters are bigger than the cut characters in the past (exclusing the 1st gen starters).

For the record, Pichu was a literal joke character. That was its actual in-game role. It was deliberately weak for that purpose. Just like Jigglypuff was intended to be in Smash 64(though it kind of failed. Jigglypuff being actually good in Smash 64 wasn't seen coming. Melee it was buffed up overall ability-wise, though the ball got dropped in Brawl and 4. Ultimate made it a bit better, same with Pichu being significantly buffed while keeping the damage gimmick. The actual shield destroying sending it flying into the abyss is an intentional thing).

 

[SNEKeater]

Made one for Kiryu. While trying to decide on the Mii costumes, I really think that Sega should try to pursue their own crossover fighter of their own IPs.

Damn, this is really great. Kamurocho as a stage could work really well, specially for a stage centered around the idea of stage hazards. Maybe my only gripe is that... Recieve You is already great without a remix. I'd rather have the original theme (from the original Yakuza 1, I mean) instead of a remix, but maybe that's just me.

Amazing selection all-around! I'm fairly convinced once we get Guilty Gear music in Smash, Smash will be deemed as having the game with the best soundtrack ever. period.
I seriously hope Daisuke Ishiwatari pulls off an SNK and lets Sakurai use around 40 songs or something. There are just too many tracks that I'd want to see in Smash. I mean the guy is the creator of the franchise and the composer of every song, and he looks like a nice guy overall! Here's hoping! And if we do get over 13 songs, I'll just add some tracks I'd want to see on top of the ones you suggested. Since your list is basically already perfect.

Spoiler: Some Favorite GG Tracks of Mine

Get Down to Business
Good Manners and Customs
Home Sweet Grave
Keep Yourself Alive 3
Izuna's Theme
Diva
Original Bet
Django Django
Jack-a-Dandy
-Rokumon-
Storyteller
The Ship
Freesia
Ride the Fire!

Also as we discussed in the Sol thread, there's gonna be a lot of censoring with those spirits lol... ;-;

I used this for the background template https://imgur.com/a/rjMtdsN and this for the spirits https://imgur.com/a/ixR0YJ2

Honestly, the only tracks I want to get remixed are the Karaoke ones. Tracks like Baka Mitai and Kamurocho Lullaby could get remixed so they'll be more fit for Fighting. Or heck, maybe create a "Karaoke Medley" to fit them all into one, that'd be pretty cool.
Also thanks for the template, I'll be using that as well for some fighters I'd like to see!

 

[Knight Dude]

That's very curious.

TIME FOR A NEW GAME!

What would be your DLC pass of revision characters?

1- Min Min
2- Bomberman
3- Waluigi
4- Isaac
5- Rayman
6- Jill Valentine

1. Spring-Man
2. Mega Man X
3. Dixie Kong
4. Alucard
5. Fiora or Elma
6. Bomberman

I would say there is a degree of revisionism in the Smash Community, but it's more so to pop up our own egos by pretending we predicted certain things that we really never did.

"Geno or Sora are going to be the second Square rep" becomes "Everyone should've seen Dragon Quest coming. It was too obvious."

"SNK's too small to get a playable character and, even we do get one, it's going to Nakoruru because she's more interesting than Terry" becomes "Terry was inevitable, everyone should've predicted him."

"Fighter #5 is going to be a third party, maybe we'll get Edelgard if the post-Fighter's Pass characters come from Nintendo" becomes "Everyone was predicting Byleth, none of the House leaders stood a chance".

That's not to say the characters in Fighter's Pass #1 don't make a lot of sense, but hindsight is 20/20. Prior to their reveals, very few people were expecting these individual characters and almost no one was predicting this set as the first Fighter's Pass.

I did doubt that an SNK character was gonna happen, but I always felt Terry made the most sense. Or Kyo. Glad we got the main man instead. Not to mention, despite that one "leak" plenty of people were debating whether it would be Terry, Kyo or even Haohmaru on top of Nakaruru.

Just saying don't be surprised if 81 is yet again another Fire Emblem character or an Pokemon character.

If I'm being serious, I kind of doubt another FE character unless Lyn or someone else pulls Double duty. A new FE title came out recently, and it'll probably be a couple years before the next one.

Pokemon might have something, only time will tell on that. They also pump out new Pokemon games more than FE does.
