Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Mushroomguy12]

Master Chef!

Speaking of which, I miss the chef hat we used to have in Smash 4 for Mii Costumes, unfortunately it seems to have been cut.

 

[Zeallyx]

Why do I keep hoping for Phoenix Wright. I'm basically asking to get disappointed.

"It's more painful not being able to believe, than to worry about betrayal."

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Not holding my breath but hoping for Crash, though the release of his new game two days from now is likely to just be a coincidence.

 

[Ace C.R.O.S.S.]

I got Pheonix. I wish it will happen but it wont

Not with that attitude!

That image hurts, I am sorry. Ultimate is just so superior compared to Smash 4.

 

[KillerCage]

I got Sora, hooray! Who did you guys get?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

WHY!? WHY DID I GET GENO!? I WANT MASTER CHIEF!!!

 

[CureParfait]

Shadow, at least he isn't that bad and probably debunk the AT rule

 

[Lamperouge]

Monika? Uh oh...

 

[3BitSaurus]

Obligatory (volume warning):

Look, man, that video's title is clearly clickbait. It's not significantly worse.

It should be called "The Melee Intro But Even Better" instead.

 

[KillerCage]

Billie Joe Armstrong confirmed.

Green Day?

All of you are sleeping on Sol Badguy, honestly.

I got Geno... I wanted Phoenix, but this is okay.

 

[P.Kat]

Finally the end of this drought is in sight tommorow will be interesting for sure.

Yoooo what the frick

remember when Kamiya asked Sakurai “hey Sakurai what about Joe” and Sakurai said “uhhhhh...”

bruh

BRUH

B R U H !!!!!!!!

Don't forget when interviewed by GameXplain, they asked Kamiya what character he wanted in Smash, and along with Joe, he also said Amaterasu too. Me? I have a feeling it's gonna be Shantae.

I know the art/Daisy theory (of Daisy's pose being the mirror, or response to Shantae's pose) is far from sound, or certain, but this theory has been lingering in the back of my thoughts for a while now for some reason. But I guess only time will tell.

 

[Royalty1702]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch the stream so I hope they won't spoil who it is in the title when I come back to watch the recording so I can be surprised.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

If anyone does find a legit leak, please put it under spoiler boxes

and TAG ME if it’s KOS-MOS, Neku, Octoling or Elma

 

[N3ON]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch the stream so I hope they won't spoil who it is in the title when I come back to watch the recording so I can be surprised.

You really only need three minutes to spare.

Barely any time for binary. ;_;

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Smash reveals have hardly ever coincided with anniversaries. The only time I know of that this happened was with Little Mac in Smash 4.

Hero got released on Dragon Quest 11's anniversary.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Hero got released on Dragon Quest 11's anniversary.

And while this here case is a veteran being confirmed to return in a newcomer trailer, Captain Falcon was in the Robin/Lucina trailer cause 7/14 was the JP anniversary of F-Zero X

 

[SKX31]

Look, man, that video's title is clearly clickbait. It's not significantly worse.

It should be called "The Melee Intro But Even Better" instead.

Dyllonstej (the guy who made the video) even commented so in the video's description:

"What are you talking about, this is much better."

Videos like that and this one is why I'm subscribed to him:

He's also behind highlights like a "Captain Falcon in Super Mario 64" speedrun.

You really only need three minutes to spare.

Barely any time for binary. ;_;

(Okay, I'm a little confused here, what do you mean by binary?)

 

[RGFS]

Green Day?

If we're Halo Reaching rn, I might as well say that the name Green Day stemmed from how they're fond of weed.
The one man that comes to mind is my boy Franklin.

Again, no chance in my opinion right now, but it was worth mentioning.

 

[chocolatejr9]

Say, I've noticed a lot of people are more certain it's Geno, even moreso than usual it seems. Did he get mentioned in a leak or something? Or is this the usual "pre-hype" phase of speculation? I'm not trying to judge or anything (though I think his Mii costume is more likely), but I want to make sure people are "hyping responsibly", as they say.

 

[SKX31]

Green Day?

Lo and behold, Mew2King joins the fray:

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I'll of course be watching it live. I have a phone call around that time (3pm) but when I saw this I just asked if they could move it to 4pm.

Priorities guys. Priorities.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch the stream so I hope they won't spoil who it is in the title when I come back to watch the recording so I can be surprised.

Just say you need to go to the bathroom, sneak out phone, turn on 4G and done.

 

[N3ON]

Lo and behold, Mew2King joins the fray:

What if it's Master Chief?

I fall out of my chair, probably.

I fall out of my chair the moment the choir starts.

 

[I.D.]

Never doubt amiibo theory ever again
Never doubt 7-11 theory ever again
Never doubt tournament skip theory ever again

CRACKPOT THEORY TIME

Not much difference really.

Hunter, Crash, Gen 8 pokemon, Hayabusa.
Dante, Arle, Reimu, Rex, a little less now.

Japan or West, people in Smash speculation tend to have similar thoughts. We're probably mostly on the right track, but at the same time, we're the minorities. At least Japanese Smash speculation communities are so. Random Smash wants posts here and there from people not in the scenes are the majorities, and some from them are really wild. I think this can say the same for the West as well.

So I just decided to search randomly from various places right now and list down 50 names I found from the top.

Site B
Arle, Dante, Gen 8, Ring Fit, Geralt, Saber, Sora, Shadow, Pawapuro-kun, Cinderace, Goemon, Zero, Reimu, Hayabusa, Strider Hiryu, Paper Mario, Rillaboom, Kazuma Kiryu, Steve, Phoeniz Wright, Gen 8, Captain Toad, Mashu Kyrielight, Dom (ACNH), Akuma, Parappa, Yuri, Marisa (Touhou), Arle, Idolmaster rep, Hunter, Hunter, King Boo, Fall Guys, Wolf Link & Midna, Tales rep, Lightning, Puyo Puyo rep, KOS-MOS, Atelier rep, Arle, Arle, Ryza, Prinny (Disgaea), DMC rep, Sora, Arthur, 2B, Octoling, Hunter

Site C
Crash, Steve, Puyo Puyo rep, Capcom rep, Gen 8, Touhou rep, Hunter, Rex, Akira Howard, King Bonbie (Momotaro Dentetsu) Idolmaster rep, Arle, Pyramid Head, Hunter, Yuri, Dante, Paper Mario, FGO rep, Hayabusa, Rellaboom, Raiden, Koishi Komeiji (Touhou), Resident Evil rep, Cress (Tales of), Sephiroth, Kunio, KOS-MOS, Lara Croft, Hunter, Riamu Yumemi (Idolmaster), Hayabusa, Hayabusa, Crash, Princess Connect rep, Hunter, Arle, Saber, Rex, Cress (Tales of), Hunter, Reimu, Dante, Cinderace, Gen 8, Crono, Haruka Amami (Idolmaster), Rex, Touhou rep, Dante, Paper Mario

This was posted in the general thread. It's apparently a list of characters discussed in Japanese circles. It might not seem like much, but there's a couple of interesting names I saw in here.

Marisa

Koishi Komeiji

The very day after this was posted, a new Smash reveal was announced. You thinking what I'm thinking?

Spoiler

 

[Nightguything]

I got Sora, hooray! Who did you guys get?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Ironic considering Lloyd’s my most wanted!

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Calling it now, we get the Smash trailer, and a song starts instantly playing.
The song:

 

[Banado_Boy]

Calling it now, we get the Smash trailer, and a song starts instantly playing.
The song:

If we do get Rex, I'm hoping that song gets a more upbeat remix like how Beneath the Mask got one.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Not with that attitude!

more power to you but I just can't be optimistic no matter how badly I want the character

 

[Deleted member]

My gut tells me it will be a third party.

 

[SnowClaws]

Since someone mention that tomorrow is Monolith Soft 21st anniversary, and a Smash reveal for FP7 is also tomorrow, then that day is truly a disaster.

That right is it time for Raymond "Ray" Bryce:

 

[Deleted member]

Once CP7 is announced, can we please hold back "CP8 when?" by at least a week?

 

[RGFS]

Once CP7 is announced, can we please hold back "CP8 when?" by at least a week?

Now that's being more optimistic than hope of getting a crowd pleasing character as CP7

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Once CP7 is announced, can we please hold back "CP8 when?" by at least a week?

CP8 when?

 

[Dixie Kong]

I am hoping for either:

Dixie Kong
KOS-MOS
Shantae
Rayman
Pyramid Head

 

[M@R!3]

Can I please have my key slinger?

 

[Guynamednelson]

Can I please have my key slinger?

Pac-Man's already in the game.

 

[M@R!3]

Pac-Man's already in the game.

Left myself wide open for that one.

 

[P.Kat]

I got Sora, hooray! Who did you guys get?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

C'mon Sora... Yes, Sora

Instantly remembers when my Birthday is

What! Steve? fists in the air NOOOOO!
