Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[AceAttorney9000]

Whoever the next fighter is, here's to hoping that they're worth waiting 3 months for after Min Min.

 

[Dyamanttine]

30 minutes, expecting Geno, Sora or Crash

 

[Lamperouge]

It's gonna be Spring Man.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Does anyone have a link?

 

[Aetheri]

Final predictions:
Geno, Travis Touchdown, or Crash

 

[DanganZilla5]

I posted this over on RTC but my top predictions are Monster Hunter, Geno, Pokemon, and Crash.

Does anyone have a link?

I use both Twitch and YouTube.

Here is the YouTube link.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Geno, Rex, or Chief

Yeah, my predictions are all over the place tbh

 

[Rie Sonomura]

I’m gonna be daring and predict

Octoling

I can’t get over the “festival” and Splatfest connection

 

[Deleted member]

If it is Phoenix Wright, I will legit write a 100 page fanfiction.

 

[PLATINUM7]

So Zhuge tweeted.

Seeing people latching on to what he's said.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I think my prediction would be either Geno, Waluigi, a gen 8 Pokemon rep or maybe Rex & Pyra.

I'm expecting to be completely wrong though.

Edit: You know what, I'll throw Rayman into the mix as well. Final prediction.

Got you fam.

#ThePlotThickens

fwiw, I think people will be excited by this. It's not a first party character for once.

Kind of weird that no data miners picked it up tho.

[Sari]

Final predictions are Rex, Crash, or Travis.

Extra final predictions are Geno, a Gen 8 Pokemon, or Lloyd.

 

[PSIGuy]

what if the new character is from a game that isn't even out or revealed yet and the reason they're not doing a full presentation is so they can have one about the game they're from first? seems like a dumb possibility but i wanna express it in the slim chance it happens so i can say TOLD YOU SO

 

[Deleted member]

I will say my final predictions again.

Rex, Sol Badguy, or Travis Touchdown.

 

[Dyamanttine]

NO FIRST PARTY?! OK SO ITS EITHER GENO, CRASH OR SORA, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

 

[Deleted member]

OH ****, I KNEW IT WAS A THIRD PARTY!!!

 

[Momentary]

I hope its Dante, Travis, Rex, Sora, Crash or Isaac. (im hoping for laharl too but thats a pipe dream.)

 

[pupNapoleon]

Does anyone else feel as though the world is about to change?

No first party doesnt narrow it down much haha, but still a nice news

Is it gonna be Monster Hunter? His data's organized like a fighter's franchise would.

 

[SNEKeater]

Oh, I totally forgot. He's the voice actor of Sol Badguy.

Soy you're saying that there's a chance...

 

[ProfPeanut]

Well, been a long while since I've been here. Good to know the love for Smash rekindles bright as ever whenever a newcomer reveal comes up.

It's still funny that after all this time, we don't have any solid pattern to work with, but that does have to do with how varied the choices of Fighters Pass 1 have been from each other. So while I dare not name any specific predictions in seriousness, I do feel that certain loose similarities will remain constant.

So if I'm going to make some noncommittal bets on FP7, it'll be thus:
1. The character choice will largely make sense from a Japan-centric point of view.
2. It's going to be a third-party.
3. Majority of people are going to be largely wrong about who it is, as the choice will be someone largely absent from speculation.
4. If 3 isn't true, then it's Geno, Sora, Arle, Dante, Doomguy, or Waluigi.

Man, still getting all tingly with anticipation. And I'm not even really invested in whoever shows up anymore.

 

[TCT~Phantom]

This is gonna be good.

Ok from this tweet I'm gonna guess...

1. Monster Hunter
2. Steve because of the date mine thing

Dataminers? What?
This is going to be interesting. I was kinda falling to the side of expecting a first party but this got me back on track again. A bit over 10 minutes left, I'm getting nervous.

 

[andree123]

• Lloyd
• Geno
• Euden
• Travis
• Rex

My final predictions for CP7 before it is revealed!

It's Steve

 

[PK-remling Fire]

My personal hope is for either Monster Hunter or an SMT character, but I'm just happy to finally see the next fighter revealed.

 

[PSIGuy]

it IS a full moon tonight. maybe we'll get a fusion accident Shin Megami Tensei reveal

 

[Deleted member]

TEN MINUTES LEFT!!!!!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Played with my dogs to kill some time.

Alright, 10 minutes to go!

 

[Hokori]

No particular order (well, maybe outside of the first 5 that I list)

Top 10 Hopefuls: Dante, 2B, Sora, Hayabusa, Travis, Isaac, Neku, SMT rep, Impa, Geno

Prediction: Geno

There's others I'd like to see too (Chief, Crash, another FF rep, and Lloyd just to name a few), but I didn't feel like saying "Top 15". That being said, with so many characters that I'd be pretty happy to see, I'm feeling pretty good about this upcoming reveal.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Final predictions: Crash, Doomslayer, Lloyd, and...I guess Geno.

Expecting: Shy Guy

Hopeful: Paper Boy

10 minutes!

 

[zferolie]

Man if that dataminers line is a tease for steve, bergeben is going to be over the world. Still lets not read into this too much

 

[Staarih]

"data miners"

"miners"

...it's Steve, isn't it.

I can see that, exactly the type of hint Zhuge would make. We'll know soon enough.
