Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[CannonStreak]

The crowd sure didn’t flatter him.

I wonder, aren’t all these jokes kinda “flat”?

 

[Shroob]

One more flat joke and Imma get the bat.

 

[StarBot]

Everyone is getting upity about the “Good Boys and Girls” (something that Sakurai never technically said himself) while I’m here chuckling that all my criticism about female representation and the sexualization of them have finally came to my advantage

People are getting uppity?


I think people just realize that while the design's iconic to the franchise, it probably won't work in Smash without pants.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I would be amused at a MH character seemingly teased for the next fighter only to lead into a Phoenix Wright objection.

Clearly this means we're getting Miriam

While that's a pretty short dress, the game has her wear short shorts as seen when using warp points, a perfect fit for Smash from a damn near perfect game

 

[Speed Weed]

not trying to downplay their chances but i find it hilarious how monster hunter shot up so quickly from "nah they're not in, enough content in base game, etc" to a top 5 discussed candidate

Boi thin ice

...But I thought Kirins used lightning, not Ice?

Why did get booed off the stage after telling a joke? Because he flat-out wasn’t funny!

Talk about falling flat on your face.

What can I say? This is Smashboards, our jokes are all two-dimensional.

 

[cashregister9]

I hope if we get a Monster Hunter rep we get something a bit more interesting than a hunter. I'm talkin' A Palico or even one of the Monsters

or like Ratha & Lute from Monster Hunter stories

EDIT: Heck they even had an amiibo

I like the way you think on this.

tis be the sad truth. Monster Hunter always seemed like a likely candidate from Capcom but it took a new game on the Switch for people to realize that. I guess it is true that this community only focuses on which new game is coming out.

 

[TwiceEXE]

In hopes of putting an end to these terrible GnW puns, I would like to point out that he is a 3D model like the other characters and is just made to look flat.

I feel like MonHun's always been one of the big choices for Capcom characters, especially since the Mii outfits are still missing. If Resident Evil may be out, then aside from Phoenix Wright and Okami, it feels like Monster Hunter is kinda the big Capcom choice, IMO at least.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I mean, they've censored characters before in order to get them pass cero. and to a lesser extent .

I don't see why they couldn't just give the Kirin armor short shorts outside of a handful of people throwing a fit over censorship.

 

[Ura]

Ura come here my comrade.

The leak is 101% BS so there's no reason to entertain it.

That being said, Advance Wars was trademarked back in Dec 2018 and we've seen with the Mario & Zelda trademarks that they mean so something (see Mario Sunshine trademark). With that in mind, there def is something going down with this franchise soon tho that doesn't have to equate to Smash Bros. I'd say Andy has a small chance as a darkhorse pick but that's the most i'll give him.

 

[Shroob]

The literal only issue with Kirin, both male and female, is the lack of pants. Everything above the belt is no worse than:

It's just that both the male and female lack pants.

 

[I.D.]

I don't see why they couldn't just give the Kirin armor short shorts outside of a handful of people throwing a fit over censorship.

Because Sakurai didn't want to trade punches with a group of people he's already admitted to disliking over a background cameo, so showing skin is basically a hard deconfirm now

Um, which leak was it, again?

If we're talking monsters as playable fighters then I have the perfect choice

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I like the way you think on this.

I recently finished my second RotN playthrough, which was also my second copy, so I'm in full Hyperfixation mode, especially as I got the DLC this time, learned just how ****ing broken guns are after beating all the food quests and still need to try a Zangetsu run, I've been thinking of multiple ways to add Miriam to Smash because despite Sakurai's conservative design philosophies, Miriam'd still get you like 5 vastly unique movesets before needing to re use any attacks, give her as the indie rep Sakurai you coward

 

[Perkilator]

Which I'm surprised they didn't for Sakura Wars.

 

[Deleted member]

The complaint "Too sexy!" is dumb. They can just censor them.

Look at ,, and . Also refer to Krystal and Pyra. Pyra and Krystal weren't even censored.

If there is a character who doesn't wear pants, they can totally be added in.

 

[Ura]

The "leak" saying the next fighter is from a lesser represented 1st party franchise. Dunno why people humor this but yeah.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Because Sakurai didn't want to trade punches with a group of people he's already admitted to disliking over a background cameo, so showing skin is basically a hard deconfirm now

I think player characters are a higher priority then background cameos, but then again it is just a hypothetical alt that the character can exist withought so shrug.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

No, but I am treading a thin line here. At least likes flatbread.

Didn’t believe it myself. I thought that one was kinda fishy.

 

[Shroob]

No offense, but I think it's mainly because to even someone who doesn't know much about MonHun, they know the series is MASSIVE.

Like, if this game gets dropped this week, I fully expect Switch sales to skyrocket, this is a console selling game.

 

[I.D.]

It was sarcasm

 

[CannonStreak]

Looks like the kind of joke that would FLATTEN other jokes.

Yeah, if we want to talk about flatness, we talk about .

 

[Aurora Jenny]

One more flat joke and Imma get the bat.

Wouldn't you rather steamroll them with superior jokes? Leave them im-pressed? I don't know...

 

[Lamperouge]

Oh yeah, guns are ****ing nuts once you pair them with either Gunslinger's or Recycle Hat (I personally rock the latter for the unlimited ammo, though).

How's the whip sword from the DLC BTW?

 

[Shroob]

To be fair tho


We only see Pyra from the front in Smash.

 

[CannonStreak]

That reminds me.

Anyone read a magazine while seeing nice scenery? I heard doing both gives a good PAPER view.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

It’s as flat as a pancake.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

What can I say? This is Smashboards, our jokes are all two-dimensional.

You unlock this stage by battling using a key character, within it are only two dimensions, one within the X axis and the other in the Y axis, You're only moving one way or the other when you crossover into...

The Flat Zone

 

[CannonStreak]

It’s as flat as a pancake.

I think we’ve done enough with the flat jokes now.

 

[Deleted member]

We only see Pyra from the front in Smash.

Pyra in the front is still pretty revealing though.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yeah, if we want to talk about flatness, we talk about .

Idk man Lucina's shown to be pretty busty when not wearing combat ready outfits. Reminds me of weebs not understanding that Tifa was still super busty in 7R due to not understanding the concept of magical items known as 'sports bras'

Oh yeah, guns are ****ing nuts once you pair them with either Gunslinger's or Recycle Hat (I personally rock the latter for the unlimited ammo, though).

How's the whip sword from the DLC BTW?

Laughably weak in comparison to what I had, which to be fair, was unlimited diamond bullets which literally tripled my attack stat when I finally got that **** ready and then some. At least Whipsword has significantly better hitboxes and gave me an idea on how Miriam would most likely work, pressing A does sword slashes while holding A does whip lashes. Works as a clever way to shout out to CotM, especially as CotM2's whip looks a lot like the Blue Rose, Miriam's most iconic weapon, so why not combine the two weapons?

 

[Shroob]

Pyra in the front is still pretty revealing though.

Not really. If Pyra would need to be censored, it'd be the fact that you can see her ass the moment she turns around. From the front, her design is very horny, but not something the ESRB would ***** over.
