Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Michael the Spikester]

2B certainly seems like the kind of character they'd reveal athe VGA even if I don't think we're getting the next character until January.

Dunno why but she just gives me Joker vibes. Feels like one of those surprise reveals/"Sakurai picks".

 

[Dinoman96]

Yeah I'm sure they could get 2B past CERO in Smash just fine with some adjustments. I think Mai was just a case of them not wanting to bother doing too much work for what would ultimately just be a mere background cameo.

Doesn't the fact that you are expecting 2B not make it a Surprise reveal?

How many people genuinely thought that Joker was getting in? You can't really predict much in regards to this.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I disagree, TLOU2 discourse is in the same category of the certainty that induces taxing.

**** that, I aint paying my taxes, gross

It was also the fact it was put of respect f what her character represented. If it wasnt for that they probably could have censored her.

Nier Automauta Climbers but if 2B dies 9S goes %$#@ing insane and tries to kill everybody

Maybe Nintendo can finally Show off Bayonetta 3 After 3 years since it's announcement

I like it. I love it. Sakurai, you listening?

 

[drag0nscythe]

I like 2B, I just sense. upskirts. Lots and lots of upskirts if she gets in with a skirt that small.

Sakurai: expresses frustration with CERO multiple times and cites them as the reason for not including CERO despite having censored multiple fighters before suggesting Mai's background cameo wasn't deemed worthy of redesigning

You: "Here's a meme so 2B can't happen because of 'respect'"

 

[SNEKeater]

Maybe he's actually deconfirmed and all, but man it would be really cool to have Kiryu in Smash. He also would be really fitting for Smash, more than some people think.

A cool guy that in his free time does things like this

or this...

His trailer reveal should involve Incineroar, if only to replicate this moment:

 

[PeridotGX]

i don't much care for Kiryu, I didn't even know he and his series existed until earlier this yea-

Bruhhhh these games are wild

when I get one of my PCs upgraded I’m so getting at least one Yakuza game on Steam

tfw not on Switch tho

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I dunno, I think that the fact that the creator literally said, “if Sakurai asked I’d absolutely say yes” is more of a sign than “I don’t want Kiryu beating up women” in terms of his possibilities for Smash but the Smash fanbase also likes Spirit Events because it disconfirms characters and that makes the characters they want more likely so I guess it’s to be expected.

I’ll just stick to my opinion I guess but I’m one to say that the Interview from last year is much more indicative of Nagoshi’s views on smash than the new one that is more about Tekken.

 

[SNEKeater]

It would be nice if they ported the series to the Switch. Though I'm not really convinced if the Dragon Engine games (Kiwami 2, Yakuza 6 and the newest one, Like a Dragon) would be able to properly run on the Switch without a significant downgrade.

In any case, I don't know if it will happen soon. Yakuza 1 and 2 HD didn't sell well on the Wii U as far as I know. Granted, the Wii U had a lot of games that didn't perform well.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's always fun when Kiryu gets discussed because at least 1 person ends up getting interested in the absolutely bat**** insanity that is Yakuza. He also doesn't get brought up enough to be seen as a typically discussed character so he always feels kinda fresh in that regard imo

 

[Ivander]

Does 2B have a chance? after what they did to Mai?
Well. There is still Bayo and ZSS. maybe.

2B seems one of the more easier ones to censor, if not for the fact that she can equip multiple outfits, but for her original outfit, shorts wouldn't be entirely out of place on her.
Mai........it's not that they couldn't censor her......but it's really not just her outfit....I mean, her frickin' fighting pose is literally letting the window to her badonkers show. Add that as well as CERO apparently being very tough to work with and it makes you wonder if it's really worth going through a whole lot of effort just for a background element to get in.
It would've been a whole different story if Mai was going to be a playable character, cause if characters like Steve show anything, it's that Sakurai is willing to put alot of effort to get a character he's making playable in.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Then put shorts on her. Much easier to make decent then ninja chick

But just like Doom Slayer he’s strapped with the “but interview” discussion stopper. I’m sick of interviews lol. Doom Slayer, Kiryu, Ryza. I miss talking about those nerds

Just saying, her original fatal fury 2 design was not to bad. And you know unhappy people will complain if 2b is censored even a little.

Then expand skirt so you can't upskirt it

After seeing this, I think Yakuza is a pretty cool guy. He punches out tigers and doesn't afraid of anything.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

can Nintendo just reveal the geno mii gunner outfit Already so that I don’t have to see them get into denial anymore about him being unlikely?

 

[PeridotGX]

i honestly wonder what happens if and when geno gets added (I think it's a matter of time, probably not this Smash but eventually). where does the fanbase go? does papagenos become papavatti? who does fatmanonice leak every other day?

Regardless of opinion on his chances, this was unprompted, entirely uncalled for, and just plain rude.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Well that’s just completely unnecessary. Not only that but it’s also incredibly subjective.

“The last Geno is in Smash Bros. The Galaxy is at peace.”

 

[Faso115]

Hopefully Geno doesn't have a suicide attack like Ganon or Bowser. Boy that naming would be unfortunate

 

[Megadoomer]

Three of those points are basically the exact same thing ("he's a one-off character! There's no way they'd include a character with only one appearance in Smash!" while ignoring all of the old and/or one-off characters that are in Smash - Ice Climbers, Shulk at the time of Smash 4, Joker, Min Min, Sheik at the time of Melee, etc.), but worded slightly differently.

The third point doesn't even make sense, considering that Square-Enix has already given Nintendo permission to include him in Smash twice, (in Smash 4 as a Mii costume, and in Smash Ultimate as a spirit) so they're definitely willing to license him despite his alleged "obscurity".

That whole snippet reads like "I don't want this character, so therefore, they're unlikely."

Also, your own comment was unnecessarily rude.

Honestly I'm under the opinion that if Geno doesn't get into Smash this game, he probably never will.

And I don't really see him sticking around in Smash speculation. We've already been through this before kinda, after he didn't get into Brawl, most of his online fanbase had dissipated for the majority of Smash 4 discourse, it was just the Mii outfit and the interview with Sakurai that reignited their hope and gave them a reason to believe the character was actually possible again. But if he really can't get into the "Ultimate" Smash Bros., the one that fufilled many long time fan requests like K. Rool, Ridley, and Banjo & Kazooie, then quite frankly I don't think he'll have a shot going forward, and he won't really have anything that makes perceived as a likely or possible pick by the speculation community outside of a vague, several year old interview with Sakurai that never amounted to anything.

Should everything go as it should be, Papagenos will pull a complete rebrand under the new name of PapaAmingo. The newly-formed Amingo support thread will have 20000000 pages, Amingo's sombrero will be used in pfps in the same way as Geno's hat, and there'll be that one weirdo who insists Sonson is better

This, gentlemen, is what we call the dream timeline

Actually, I think about fried chicken 24/7. Maybe that's why I'm always hungry...

Anyways, um... still no news on that Doom Eternal Switch port? I thought they said it'd be sometime this month.

It's called Doom Eternal because we're Eternally waiting for a release date.
