Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Idon]

Runs around shooting ice at enemies, sometimes clinging to upside down surfaces

Though personally I'd also enjoy if Pyro Jack or Jack O' Lantern as he goes by now also tags along.

Honestly anyone would've all the reasons to buy Nintendo, especially Disney, but we're talking about a massive amount of risky money,

 

[N3ON]

Things Disney has bought:
The Muppets
Pixar
Marvel
Lucasfilm
Fox

Things Disney hasn't bought:
Everything else

Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Let’s be honest the best DLC represented so far was Terry I am hoping for another DLC being represented perfectly as Terry was.
And what I mean by “perfectly” is representing entire company’s history much as possible.
Joker and Banjo and hero had the potential to represent rareware and Altus and Enix history but they didn’t bring anything.

I think the difference is that Sakurai knew that Terry in Smash was the only occasion he would work with SNK (and it's obvious he freaking love that company). Square still have lots of potential for playable characters (like Tomb raider, Kingdom hearts (technically Disney but wathever), Nier, Hitman, Chrono and GEX BABY). Most of them could just be spirits event like Mana, but maybe they could be playable eventually.

Doesn’t help that every big movie comes out I feel like “Another Disney one? Oh right, they bought it.”

That being said Nintendo is a big company, doing better than ever—they have no worries about being bought by Disney and would have no impact Sora or no Sora. Only issue preventing Sora is Disney’s asking price. They ripped Sony off, they’ll try to rip off Nintendo too.

I would wonder if nintendo was bought by Disney it would be cool to get a lightsaber in smash

[The_Naraotor]

Well in the likelyhood that Disney brought Nintendo (which I doubt) the only way that could works if they follow the same as Renault relationship with Nissan.

Carlos Ghosn that mad lads with his escape artist scheme. He was Ghosn in a box lmao. Ok you got me just a sad excuse for a bad pun.

In seriousness one can wonder what Disney acquiring Nintendo could do.

 

[zeldasmash]

So is Min Min out yet?

 

[SKX31]

Within the hour

I'm so gonna speedrun her Classic mode and Spirits, while watching Nairo and Hbox go Min Min dittos.

If anyone wonders how one speedruns Classic, I have 44 Classic tickets. And Spectate currency is a great way to farm them since a Classic Ticket only costs 1000 Spectate points.

So is Min Min out yet?

Nope, not yet. I'm following Nairo's advice and spamming software update.

EDIT: Updating!

 

[PLATINUM7]

I'm downloading the update now!

 

[Jomosensual]

My switch won't update

 

[skylanders fan]

Still says I have the latest version edit just got it downloading

 

[zeldasmash]

UPDATING!!

 

[Perkilator]

I have the latest version and still don't have jack pepper cheese.

EDIT: Never mind, it's downloading!

 

[Cosmic77]

Just downloaded springy noodle girl.

 

[PLATINUM7]

And am now playing as Min Min :D

 

[Guybrush20X6]

So has Disney actually said anything about buying Nintendo or is this a Sora conversation that snowballed?

Nope, not a thing.

 

[MBRedboy31]

So, if you go to Rules / Random Stage Selection, you can see how it is going to handle all the extra stages, which is simply by adding another row to the bottom. There’s going to be a lot of empty space after FP11 comes out, but at least it’s not an extra page.

 

[MooMew64]

IT IS MIN MIN TIME Y'ALL

LET'S GO

 

[3BitSaurus]

To whoever already has the update: any changes to Min Min's WoL battle?

 

[Knight Dude]

I wonder how many Min-Min players will see so soon? I'm probably not gonna get the pass until at least most of the characters are revealed, just like I did with the first pass. It'll be interesting to fight Noodles herself with Mega Man and some others tho.

 

[Neverx]

To whoever already has the update: any changes to Min Min's WoL battle?

Nope, everything about the spirit is exactly the same (not even a name change).

 

[3BitSaurus]

Nope, everything about the spirit is exactly the same (not even a name change).

Huh. I guess she has a separate Fighter Spirit then. That would be interesting news for a few Spirited characters - Rex and Pyra in particular.

Yup, Rex is very likely right now imo

Very minor thing about ARMS in Smash that has crushed my soul:

In the Music gallery, the series were divided, with the Nintendo series being placed before the 3rd party series regardless of when the debuted in Smash (ex: Splatoon shows up before Metal Gear or Sonic)

But now ARMS appears BELOW the 3rd party games, despite being Nintendo owned. It completely destroys the pattern, and thus completely destroys my love for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. So long, all. It’s been a good run.

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

For those wondering about stage select, Spring Stadium takes up the last empty spot on the bottom row. Interestingly, if you go to “Random Stage Selection”, it looks like a brand new row is added to compensate for the “Custom Stages” button with the entire stage select screen moving upward to make room for the new row. There is room for 10 more stages.

It looks like there is no “Page 2” or “DLC >” scenario for stage select.

 

[NeonBurrito]

In case there was literally any doubt left about spirits

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

I haven’t checked, since I’m about to head to work, but did the ARMS spirits that are already in the game get updated with the ARMS symbol?

Yes they did.

I don't remember that specific Min Min art in ARMS. Is it Smash exclusive?

No, it’s from this: https://nintendowire.com/news/2017/04/21/new-arms-art-showcases-lovable-minmin/

[Knight Dude]

Lets play a game simple game, lets think of a "generation theory", where they decided to include a character from each generation of consoles, you can view these in two ways:

Option 1:
1) Gen 8: WiiU, N3DS, Switch, PS4, XOne, PSVita (Min Min)
2) Gen 7: Wii, NDS, PS3, X360, PSP
3) Gen 6: NGC, PS2, Xbox, GBA, DC
4) Gen 5: N64, PS1, Saturn, GB/C (1996-2001)
5) Gen 4: SNES, Genesis, TG-16, Neo-Geo, GB (1989-1995)
6) Gen 3: NES, Master System, NEC

Option 2:
1) Gen 9: Switch (Min Min)
2) Gen 8: WiiU, N3DS, PS4, XOne, PSVita
3) Gen 7: Wii, NDS, PS3, X360, PSP
4) Gen 6: NGC, PS2, Xbox, GBA, DC
5) Gen 5: N64, PS1, Saturn, GB/C (1996-2001)
6) Gen 4/3: NES, Master System, NEC, SNES, Genesis, TG-16, Neo-Geo, GB (1989-1995)

PC and Arcades can be from any era.

My take (Option 1)

1) Gen 8: Min Min
2) Gen 7: Chorus Kids
3) Gen 6: Sora
4) Gen 5: Crash Bandicoot
5) Gen 4: Doom Slayer
6) Gen 3: Ryu Hayabusa

Switch: Min-Min
PS3: Kat I guess
PS2: Dante
PS1: Jin Kazama
SNES: Mega Man X
NES: Ryu Hayabusa

NES - PS2 had too many options, but I tried.

That's some Alexander the Great cutting the gordion knot **** right there.

 

[Knight Dude]

Well, even if it was common knowledge only by this trailer, it didn't have the cool freezing coloration effect on them.

Yeah that's pretty cool. I kind of wish there were more frozen moves that left the characters like that.

So maybe that's how Sub-Zero can still win.

 

[Icedragonadam]

So what's Min Min's class mode route?

 

[PLATINUM7]

So what's Min Min's class mode route?

Fighting opponents with fancy arms and punches.

 

[Perkilator]

So what's Min Min's class mode route?

Spoiler

Basically fighting characters that mimic the characters from ARMS. Galleom is the boss of the final round.
