Well, forget what I said

Let's if the next fighter has notable headwear.

 

[skylanders fan]

Hats hats hats hey who needs new stuff when you can have hats

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Let's if the next fighter has notable headwear.

Judging by the tournament including all hat/helmet wearing peeps already in the game, probably not

likewise if a potential fighter didn’t get spirited away in a themed event, that may be a good thing for their chances

just a theory of mine, anyway

How many TF2 jokes can be made out of this post?

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the best crossover themed hat simulator.

 

[SharkLord]

All that wait just for a drop of hats

 

[Aerospherology]

I guess we should discuss potential fighters without headwear.
gotta mention crash already just because

Throwing my obligatory hatless robot out there:

Spoiler: Otto Matic of course

Actually, since he lifts his head to store weapons, does that count as a hat?

I'm guessing the tournament announcement failed to cap-tivate you?

 

[Perkilator]

Hats hats hats hey who needs new stuff when you can have hats

Let's take our hats off in respect for potential new Spirits not tied to a DLC Spirit Board

 

[TwiceEXE]

So there’s our missing tournament I guess??

Actually this tournament is 4035 so we are still missing 4029.

 

[Shroob]

Hats eh?



Some people think they can outsmash him.

Maybe....

Sniff

Maybe....


He's yet to meet one who can outsmash bullet

Clearly the polls were rigged because all Heavy votes shouldn't count because it stops my most wanted from being the most requested

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Yet another 4chan leak, only this time there's ZERO mention of Smash.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I'll give the leaker (not the person with the leak in their post) credit for being a bit more realizable with their blatant wish list, though.

I'm not made of gold though.

I think its fake.

 

[Spongeboob]

Thoughts on Danganronpa's music getting in Smash? I like the main games' (1, 2, and V3) music, but I don't think most of the tracks would fit in with the rest of Ultimate's music without remixing it. (I feel the same way about Plants Vs. Zombies music.)

POTD

Fatal Fury Gang

OOOOO THAT MEANS NEW FATAL FURY FIGHTER JOE HIGASHI FOR SMASH

Well, forget what I said

Do people really wish for new spirits? Do you guys even use the spirits or do you guys just want to see who gets "deconfirmed"? It's fine if you're just collecting them, but still...

 

[DarthEnderX]

or do you guys just want to see who gets "deconfirmed"?

Yes.

My boy Kunio was viciously slain, and I seek to witness that same suffering visited upon others.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Do people really wish for new spirits? Do you guys even use the spirits or do you guys just want to see who gets "deconfirmed"?

It's news.

Some news is better than no news.

 

[Idon]

Do people really wish for new spirits? Do you guys even use the spirits or do you guys just want to see who gets "deconfirmed"? It's fine if you're just collecting them, but still...

It's a Zero Sum game
If someone gets disconfirmed from a series that was competing with a series I wanted, it's there's less competition for them and the likelihood it's someone I wanted drastically increases.

And if it's a series I wanted that gets shot, well, at least it's something new to talk about.

 

[I.D.]

So there’s our missing tournament I guess??

You mean tournament 4029? No, that's still MIA. this is tournament 4035 and is following the proper order, like all the other tournaments after Steve.

 

[PSIGuy]

Jesus, Nintendo is on a roll.

From 31/03, you will no longer be able to upload courses in #SuperMarioMaker for #WiiU. Thank you to all the players for supporting Super Mario Maker for Wii U since 2015!

Hats huh?

Let's if the next fighter has notable headwear.

TimeSplitters 2 has a silly hats cheat.

Time to Split!

 

[Spongeboob]

I guess no news is good news... AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaanyways, IF (and that's a big if) we are getting new spirits (outside of Cheese Piz- er, I mean Challenger Packs), I wouldn't anticipate any until the middle of one of the upcoming Winter months, particularly next month. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get any, although that hasn't happened since the wait between Trunks and Burger King (shown below) and that wasn't a very long wait.
wait
I don't regret any of this.

 

[XorahnGaia]

it takes a pretty big ****storm to get nintendo to even CONSIDER reversing a dumb decision. remember when Nintendo Switch Online was going to give us a grand total of ONE NES or SNES game per month? months of dunks later it was improved to a library.

the way they treat smash competitively despite being more popular than anything they try to push a competitive scene on is ridiculous. it's like denying your eldest child their dream of being an athlete because you're paying to put them through clown college. meanwhile, they're still a better athlete than all your other children. said children either have arms like spaghetti or an allergy to water.

just like the rest of 2020, nintendo has been disappointing and lazy and raking it in. they have no incentive to change anything.

Heck, is not like their support to Splatoon and ARMS's competitive scene is that great either:

@ Smash community

The Splatoon Community is for #FreeMelee #SaveSmash , don't be fooled by Nintendo showing a tiny bit of support to splatoon with The Open. Besides 1st place prize is literally $25 and last time I won with my team and I never received my $25 lmao

Nintendo's approach to e-sports, in general, seems very similar to how they handled their mobile games ventures this past few years: they talk about being committed to it to their investors, but when it comes to actually do something about it they never put much effort into it beyond the absolute minimum.

"Lustrous Pearl and Nebulous Diamond" are possibly the worst names I've seen for a couple of Pokémon games!

 

[Swamp Sensei]

"Lustrous Pearl and Nebulous Diamond" are possibly the worst names I've seen for a couple of Pokémon games!

Shining Diamond and Shimmering Pearl.

I thought of that in like two seconds and its infinitely better.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Shining Diamond and Shimmering Pearl.

I thought of that in like two seconds and its infinitely better.

Crazy Diamond in Japan, Shining Diamond for the localisation.

 

[Jerry98]

Shining Diamond and Shimmering Pearl.

I thought of that in like two seconds and its infinitely better.

Yeah, that sounds better!
But I'm thinking about what I would play in case those are their actual names. I won't play Shining Diamond and Shimmering Pearl, but something like "Diamante Splendente e Perla Scintillante". It sounds a bit strange to me... maybe because it's a long name

 

[Swamp Sensei]

"Diamante Splendente e Perla Scintillante"

I dunno I think this is better then my name.

 

[ZelDan]

Screw TF2, this is the character(s) this hat spirit event is clearly hinting at:

 

[Cosmic77]

On one hand, I feel like facepalming because people are taking a weird tournament about hats way too seriously. On the other hand, quite a few of my favorite characters don't have any headwear, so...

Actually, nevermind. If it's not because of hats, I'm sure there's some other arbitrary reason why my characters are "already deconfirmed".

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Screw TF2, this is the character(s) this hat spirit event is clearly hinting at:

Get this cringe ass naenae baby out of here, the superior hat wearer is Professor Layton and you know it*


* Note, never actually touched a Layton game but that's a dapper looking hat

 

[ZelDan]

Does Layton change between different hats and actually get powers from said hat or hats though?

Checkmate Layton fans

Unless he actually does have multiple hats and gets powers from them, then, uhhh, uncheckmate I guess (I never played a Layton game either)

All I know is that he's crossed over with Pheonix Wright, that alone is huge news but he's from one of the few examples of games being dubbed in Dutch. Take that!

the more I see those stupid hashtags, thd more I hope Melee stays gone

he had one from when he was in college that was a simple paperboy hat before he was gifted this tophat by his GF

 

[Aerospherology]

The tourney suggests that the next fighter does NOT have a hat, since they cannot be included.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

The tourney suggests that the next fighter does NOT have a hat, since they cannot be included.

That’s the theory I was thinking of

likewise you know how the Lotus spirit got added into the Black event? If a potential new fighter who doesn’t have a spirit in base misses a themed spirit event, it could actually be a good thing for them as they wouldn’t be spirited away with that theme

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

The tourney suggests that the next fighter does NOT have a hat, since they cannot be included.

Smash speculation going forward:

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

The tourney suggests that the next fighter does NOT have a hat, since they cannot be included.

Considering Mega Man is also there, this includes helmets too. Unfortunately this doesn't really pin anyone down.

 

[pupNapoleon]

"Lustrous Pearl and Nebulous Diamond" are possibly the worst names I've seen for a couple of Pokémon games!

Well, Nebulous also doesn't even make sense in this context.

Im not saying the names will be great when they happen- FireRed isn't as good as flame red, to me.
But- the names are at least logical and complimentary to each other.

 

[I.D.]

I can't tell if people are joking or if they genuinely don't understand the reasoning used to predict Steve reveal was going to happen soon based on skipped tournament events.
