Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[chocolatejr9]

Friendly reminder to go into this thing tomorrow with NO expectations. Don't think your favourite is getting in just cause you believe it so, remain calm and hype responsibly.

Lord knows there are people in the Geno thread who need this reminder...

Speaking of which, I know I asked earlier, but did something happen to improve his chances? It feels like more people are betting on him being revealed than usual.

not really, its just the usual pre reveal geno hype from his fans that happens every reveal

 

[SNEKeater]

Honestly if these are the contenders we're looking at, then chances are I'm gonna be very happy tomorrow.

I wonder why they mention Leon and Jill though. It's pretty clear that RE isn't happening.

RE theory. Even if they're spirits, we're gonna get a Resident Evil character because just like zombies Jill and Leon managed to come back to life.

I'm 100% confident with this.

Probably riding off the hype. That, and I've seen some people outside his thread place their bets on him as the fan-favorite of FP2, since previous E3s had delivered one of those.

If CP7 comes and goes without Geno or Urshifu, I bet predictions for them will drop. After that, the 35th anniversary will be over and Isle of Armor will be outdated. Perhaps support for SwSh will die down in general the longer we go without them.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

In an ironic twist, tomorrow's character will be Western centric and the Sakurai message after will in fact be him instructing Westerners how to explain the character to the curious and confused Japanese fans.

Well everyone keeps talking about a Gen 8 Pokemon even though that shouldn't be happening either by those rules, so I'll overlook it. (And I'd much rather RE than a Pokemon anyways).

Cries in Silent Hill despite me knowing damn well it’s even LESS for good boys and girls than RE is

 

[Strong-Arm]

i think people talk more so about pokemon out of dread than hope

 

[P.Kat]

No expectations tomorrow but if it's any of these characters:

Amaterasu
Sora
Shantae
Elma
2B
Impa
Saber
Sakura
Viewtiful Joe
Mipha

Then I'm over the moon. Except for Ammy, Sora, Shantae, Elma, or 2B if it's either of them I will need a Defibrillator, Stat

While the Crash thread on this site is pretty tame so far, I have seen a bunch of Crash fans on discord and reddit today get a bit took cocky about Crash's chances.

That’s because it would likely be one of the starters and none of the starters stand out that much. Hell, we didn’t even get the Starter that stood out the most from SuMo. We got Inceneroar. And as much as I love him, he was not near as interesting as Decidueye.

Yeah, as nice as it would be, I'm not counting on this being to promote Crash 4. Let's just say I've been burned before...

 

[7NATOR]

Considering it seems the reveal of FP7 was delayed (Due to the skipped Tournaments, among other things) I don't think the date of Tomorrow has any bearing honestly.

 

[Shroob]

Keep your ear to the ground is all I'm saying. I dunno when the press kits for these will go out, but if someone starts talking in like, 10 hours from now, we probably will have our lead.

If we were to get a pokemon that's a generic wrestler, I really wished it was Machamp lol. On top of the wrestling, he also does Jojo Punch Rushes.

Don't know much about Silent Hill on account of avoiding Survival/Horror game like the... Hurricane, but if Pyramid Head got into Smash I'd be like two nightmare in one.

One because he comes from the Silent Hill game, and Two he'd be a heavyweight character.

 

[Shroob]

After watching Gamexplain's video on their predictions


I'm gonna laugh if this is the ONE TIME anniversaries actually matter and it really is Melia



MAN..... I like Melia a lot, but having her get in over Elma or Rex would definitely ruffle some feathers.......pun intended.

What would be amazing about Pyramid Head is that he would have gotten around the expectation that Smash characters are typically from games featured on a Nintendo console in the hilarious way.

"Wait a minute Silent Hill 2 was never on a Nintendo system, how did he get in?"

"Oh he's not in because of Silent Hill, he's here to represent Bomberman R."

"...What?"

 

[Mushroomguy12]

GameXplain just uploaded a prediction video and from what I remember they’ve always at least mentioned the real character every time they’ve had these discussions. They did it with Byleth, Min Min, Isabelle, and more I think

I'm-a just going to embed it here for convenience.

I was imagining the main theme slowly building up (title 1, not 2), then playing the battle theme during gameplay. Then when it says "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X Shin Megami Tensei" the classic bong from the opening of SMT 1 would play.

Either way, I'd be unbelievably happy with an smt rep, and I feel like this is their best chance.

You guys are familiar with the Rorschach test, correct?

Well, take a close look at the Smash logo and tell me what do you see...

After some time looking at the logo, you want to know what I see?

Spoiler

Call me crazy...but it looks almost like 2B's hair and shoulder puff(thing?) in the Smash logo. But of course it could literally just be the power of imagination or it could even be another character entirely

I mean, I kinda see what you see, but it'd depend on what her render would look like too.

Lol I can see it too, but no way would they put the character on there, that'd be begging for people to figure it out.

Oh damn I see it too. That’s cool actually.

I know it means nothing but it’s fun so it could also be Hayabusa’s helmet.

Or to take ARMS against a sea of complainers, and by extending KO them.

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

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Geno
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[CannonStreak]

Geno
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

You're a December born person, too? That makes two of us! High fives

 

[7NATOR]

Could it be only be 3 Minutes because perhaps the game the character is Rated M. If Nintendo really don't want their presentations to be rated M, and since it seems the ESRB has had changes to the system since Joker was released (the last Rated M Character), they might not do a Full Sakurai showcase, and just show the Trailer, which would only have Smash x (Insert Rated M Character here)

Perhaps the message is explaining the ESRB is causing issues

[DuskFleur]

Sora is the only character I really want in Smash atm, though considering Square and Disney's double copyright hell, I won't be surprised if he isn't confirmed. Any other character is okay by me too, so long as they're fun and/or unique to play as. That's the most important part, I believe, and a reason why I personally want Sora in the game (he's from an Action RPG that has a lot of flashy combos and moves and what have you that I think could work well in the game), beyond simple childhood nostalgic desires.

 

[ZephyrZ]

if its a pokemon i imagine a lot of people will be upset

i know for a fact a ton of people didnt buy fighters pass 2 cause it went from byleth to min min
if its a pokemon (which a lot of people are dreading) itll probs be a nail in the coffin for a lot of people. Afterall we wont get another char till next year and if its 3 chars most people dont want in a row then i imagine that would be really bad for sales and people outside the competitive scene (who have to buy everyone anyways)

so heres hoping for someone exciting to most people and not another char most people will dislike

Pokemon is a massive cash cow. You're kidding if you think a Pokemon fighter passwon't sell just because of a handful disgruntled Smash fans who think it's overrepresented.

Not that I think the next fighter is going to be a Pokemon.

And to get back to this - it kinda looks like something, although it is very likely just flames on a background. It should be noted that FP2 has used a similar - if not the exact same - background:

No


They'd still explain the stage and all the Mii costumes, and there's no way they can fit this supposed trailer, all the Mii costumes, and the stage in 3 minutes.

Hell, the trailer will probably take over a minute on its own.

There's the sudden re-release of the Cloud amiibos; I can't recall if that happened before Hero's announcement/release, though it could just be due to the fact that Hero's amiibo is coming out, so they might as well re-release the other Square-Enix amiibo while they're at it. (the Mario and Luigi Smash amiibos are also getting re-released, though that could easily be chalked up to the anniversary)

Is that the biggest version of that image we have?


Cause like, I legit can't tell if it's the same image or not.
