Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[skylanders fan]

Yeah count me in on expecting fortnite and not wanting it crowd

 

[ZenythSmash]

Yup, right after Steve was announced:

Minecraft isn't a franchise of any significance to me, but one cannot deny the impact it has had on the industry. Steve may not be a meaningful addition to you; but seeing Minecraft/Steve get added to Smash has excited many children & adults.

Next up: Ryu Hayabusa. pic.twitter.com/HQjTCIadck

why was he vague about this?
unless he was talking about when than speculation, people are going to think was talking about DLC pack 8.

i do think Hayabusa has a good chance for a reveal, but TGAs feels too much of a longshot compared to the current Fortnite & Crash speculation tussle, as much i'm still on the boat for his inclusion for ages.

sorry for responding on something super old, i don't post here much. -.-

Pretty sure 3/4 of those were DLC Mii Costumes in the previous game. Besides, the Lloyd costume isn't in Ultimate at all, so there's nothing saying he can't be added here. I really don't think a Mii Costume from a previous game would stop a character from getting added. Heck, they could even add both Lloyd and his Mii Costume assuming there wouldn't be any work in porting the costume.

I don't think that changes much, if anything about third-party costumes who have yet to become fighters. (other than the possibility, of course)

I'd be down for that especially if the Mii Costume gets shown off first.

Crackhead prediction time: it's gonna be 2B. Shower me with internet points if I'm right

Gotcha.

 

[PacificFun]

Everyone calm down. We're getting Big Smoke and that's final.

 

[Inue Houji]

Then again if they make bank from the likes of Steve and Jonesy, that means we'll be getting more fighters of their ilk.

Don't do this to me :u

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(This is a joke, I don't actually care either way)

 

[SirBillyBob]

Last meme I have concerning the Jonesy shenanigans:

Most people will just look at Jonesy as the "funny meme guy", try him out, and then move on with their day. And Nintendo would be none the worse. Because at the end of the day, it's the money that matters. As for me personally, I would love to see him get in, but I understand why others wouldn't. Just as long as we act civilly, then we're all good.

His final smash is his epic order

I’LL HAVE TWO NUMBER NINES
A NUMBER NINE LARGE
A NUMBER SIX WITH EXTRA DIP
A NUMBER SEVEN
TWO NUMBER FORTY FIVES
ONE WITH CHEESE
AND A LARGE SODA.

Kids would like Jonesy in Smash but the audience they're presenting it in front of would be none too pleased.

You'd hope Nintendo would be cognizant of the demographic the event skews towards since the days of Cranky Kong reveals. In the last few years they've proven to be more attuned with showings like Bayonetta, Zelda, Marvel, and Joker in Smash. Meanwhile the game awards has to add canned applause whenever Fortnite wins something.

Also worth keeping in mind is that Byleth was probably intended to be revealed a month-ish earlier than came to fruition, and, judging by the trailer's ambiguous opening, was probably going to be in a non-Smash-specific overall presentation. It would line up with the game awards... but that didn't end up happening. Which ultimately was probably the right call, the audience wouldn't have been overly receptive.

Now, Fire Emblem is no Fortnite, the gap between the two is monumental, but you've got to wonder what the strategy for reveal would be if the latter was to come to Smash. Seems like of all the audiences, the game awards would be among the worst in which to debut the character.

I really think people are sleeping on a Dark Souls rep

 

[Munchi]

I've never seen so much activity on the thread

Surprisingly, it's very comfortable.

 

[Momotsuki]

Gosh, Joker's reveal at TGA 2018 was fantastic. So, so good. The way there was no Smash intro, letting the context appear unclear - damn, what a fantastic job that was. Can't really do it this time, what with an existing announcement that there will be Smash stuff there.

 

[SharkLord]

You should've seen the reaction to Steve. The thread shot up like fifteen pages under an hour after the reveal.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I still can't believe they added Marvel to Super Smash Bros.

I know you probably meant the game, this is just what my brain interpreted first.

 

[Gazorpazorpfield]

Never gets talked about as much as other Bamco reps, but Dark Souls is the true ascended choice.

The biggest question is...are the fries curly?

People will be on the edge of their seat thinking every new trailer might be related to Smash, but that doesn't preclude them trojan horsing the reveal again. Because presumably, only one trailer will actually be the Smash one.

Except if you noticed the ESRB rating thing

I can't wait for linus tech to appear or an annoucement for Fast and Furious!

Uhhh Linus tech??? I need context for this

 

[metalhydra273]

I'd love to see it, but I don't think it happens just yet,

 

[dream1ng]

Except if you noticed the ESRB rating thing

I think you have to be looking at things through the lens of wanting to see Smash to just have E10 be a giveaway for a series that had so few prior indications. It's not like Persona is without spin-offs that carry ratings different than the main series.

 

[SNEKeater]

I agree people doesn't discuss Dark Souls that much. And it would be very fitting for TGA in my opinion.

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

I have to imagine if a Dark Souls rep happened, their invitation letter would be super grimy, like it got lost in the mail and sat in a puddle for a couple days.

When it gets handed to them an old lady goes on a monologue about how the undead was chosen to battle against monoliths of other worlds.

No mention of why the invitation is so dirty.

 

[SneakyLink]

Uhhh Linus tech??? I need context for this

I was going to joke how Linus Tech = putting a blanket on technology like the kid from Peanuts but I looked it up and it seems to be a channel with 10 million subscribers?

Yeah I don't know either.

 

[[Maple]]

Uhhh Linus tech??? I need context for this

there was a bunch of ads featuring him last year

 

[CrusherMania1592]

It's the month of Mario theme

Mad Piano would be the biggest wtf in the history of Smash Bros


Bet on it

 

[[Maple]]

There was also a huge load of Stadia ads last year

 

[ZelDan]

Honestly, I find all this Jonesy talk to be pretty silly, because I'm pretty sure the ONLY reason he blew up this much in serious discussion, and not just meme discussion, is just because of Minecraft Steve being included.

Which, you know, does kind of ignore the fact that Minecraft and Fortnite aren't even entirely comparable when you remember that Minecraft has a MUCH longer legacy behind it than Fortnite, and that we've known Microsoft has been working with Sakurai even before Steve whereas it's unknown if Fortnite's company is working with Sakurai.

Like, if you thought Jonesy was not all that likely before Minecraft Steve, I don't think Steve should really change that stance, or atleast not do so by anywhere near as much as it clearly has.

That, and Kratos in Fortnite. Think there was something else in there too, but I don't quite remember what it was.

 

[Droodle]

Bruh, people acting like Fortnite and Game Awards don't mix together forget that there's literally multiple freaking ads of it during the show and always a 5 minute acceptance speech of how great Fortnite is.

I doubt it's Fortnite, or even Crash; but don't be silly y'all.

 

[[Maple]]

I guess people compare Fortnite and Minecraft because they had the same type of audience (younger players) and are super popular among streamers, youtubers and weird stuff like that.

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

The Game Awards in general pushing how big the Fortnite reveals will be. People think big reveals equal Smash, even though that's a bit presumptuous.

 

[N3ON]

A second positive thing about Jonesy being in, is that the pass might make so much money that making a third pass is too good to pass up.

I think Nintendo's plenty aware of the money they're leaving on the table by capping the DLC after a second pass, and they still have chosen to regardless.

We weren't even always destined to get the second pass, despite the profits that have come from it.

As ever, Nintendo gonna Nintendo. Remember that MK8D has sold like 30 million units and has no paid DLC.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

Age is certainly playing in factor in the apathy towards Jonesy. After three straight characters from games roughly in the last decade, yet another one from the same time period will fall pretty flat to a lot of people.

 

[Cyberfire]

I'm reluctant to go all in on any character beyond the idea that I think it'll be one of some significance to a broad audience. Smash has thrown too many curveballs for me to definitively say it would be a Crash or a Dante. It is Nintendo, and the possibility of some dark horse choice that's still a delightful surprise to many is very much a possibility to me.

I'm with you there. Whilst my gut says Crash, my outside pick is Chosen Undead for that Joker-like WTFness.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Then again if they make bank from the likes of Steve and Jonesy, that means we'll be getting more fighters of their ilk.

At least the rest of FP2 wouldn't be based off of Steve and Jonesy's success and would have to be cheaper to license since those two would drain their budget.
