Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[CrusherMania1592]

I wonder if it's going to be a double reveal?

That trailer was way earlier than anticipated.

Maybe another one towards the end?

I will **** myself if we get a reveal and this character will be out 2021

Seph being released this month is good

 

[ZephyrZ]

Min Min couldn't even go a single pass without getting one upped in the range department, huh

Just like Byleth got one upped by Min Min

Just like Simon got one upped by Byleth

... I'm scared for the next game, where we get a character with normals that reach from blast zone to blast zone

I'd say Simon is better in the long ranged then Byleth who's more of a mid ranged specialist, and Min Min's arms are waaaay longer then Sephiroth's sword.

I would also just like to thank nintendo and the game awards for getting it out of the way instead of making us wait the whole event out

I'm kind of tired with FFVII honestly. There is other Final Fantasy. An other FF rep ok, but why not Kefka or Terra or even Lightning?

 

[Doomguy46]

I never knew that Link, Marth, Cloud and Shulk were all clones of each other.

Learn something new every day.

never knew moveset and playstyle were the same thing


learn something new every day

 

[Zzuxon]

Isn't it just wonderful that there are numerous iconic series, beloved by millions with a huge impact on the video game medium, who will not be getting a smash character because the dip****s at nintendo decided to give two to Final Fantasy VII?

 

[I.D.]

Also how many of those so called "rules" does this break?

New worlds, double dipping on a company, double dipping on a third party series, double dipping on a third party GAME, game with music and stage already in the game, and probably more that I'm forgetting

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

I'm completely and utterly indifferent to the newcomer himseld being in, but that
One-Winged Angel remix is hype.

Remix is the key word here. We're getting actual remixes this time!

I would also just like to thank nintendo and the game awards for getting it out of the way instead of making us wait the whole event out

Oh yeah. Definitely.

Heh, the others probably thank them too for not having to deal with "When's Smash?" in the chat.

I think that they are actually forbidden from referencing other FF games besides FF7.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I ain't gonna lie btw. Although not a fan of Final Fantasy. I'm legit hyped for Sephiroth. Looks like he'l be loads of fun.

Not to mention he more then earns his spot in the roster. They don't call him one of the most iconic video game villains for nothing.

Also another villain and a our first 3rd party one to boot!

 

[PLATINUM7]

Isn't it ****ing wonderful I can ignore salty users?

 

[TheBeastHimself]

for the last time yes I watched it and nothing stood out to me except a stab move that looks straight off ridley

Well, fair enough. If you paid for Fighter's Pass 2, that's on you though. Sakurai said only buy it if you want to.

 

[SirBillyBob]

Just a quick PSA not to bully Geno fans because of Sephiroth getting in.

Let's be civil.

 

[Deleted member]

This just shows that fan rules are irrelevant.

 

[Doomguy46]

i did you're right, I like having new characters even if they were just bricks


its still disappointing

 

[PSIGuy]

I love how we just got one of the most iconic video game villains of all time in Smash and some people are still acting like he's undeserving because he's an anime swordsman or not from a different FF game or something.

believe it or not some people aren't final fantasy 7 fans. he appeals exclusively to an audience who would already be interested in smash.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So when do you guys think Sephiroth will release this month? Christmas day perhaps?

 

[zeldasmash]

MOTHERF***** SEPHIROTH!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM VERY HAPPY!!!!

 

[N3ON]

I'm kind of tired with FFVII honestly. There is other Final Fantasy. An other FF rep ok, but why not Kefka or Terra or even Lightning?

I getchu, but FF7 is basically the Gen 1 of FF.

Even before this reveal, I'd wager that Sephiroth and Tifa were the most requested FF characters anyway.

Reminder to ignore the salt, and drink water.

k but I don't think that says much just because I dont think people really wanted or needed a new ff character

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Lol, they play nothing alike either.

Seriously, they aren't even close to clones. The weapon does not a clone make. It's having mostly the same moves and the same animations and bodyshape that relates to what a clone is.

You can easily make a clone of Link who wields a Bayonette if you do it right. Clones are a way to design a full character. Marth has a clone in Lucina, and barely one in Roy at this point. Roy has an actual clone in Chrom.

 

[BernkastelWitch]

Everyone: "This reveal is gonna suck. We all know it's gonna be Jonesy."

Sephiroth: "You were saying?"

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

Aside from the obvious deaths of Geno and Sora, I'd say the only real downside of this reveal is the fact that Sephiroth appears to be another fighter where long range is their gimmick.

Yeah, we're 3 out of 3 this pass. Still, the guy has style, so I'll give him a pass.

 

[I.D.]

This is true
But we already got 8th FE character as DLC so **** that, it's a doggy dog world out there

 

[Shroob]

Just a quick PSA not to bully Geno fans because of Sephiroth getting in.

Let's be civil.

As much as I agree


This is only going to get worse if the Mii costume shows up alongside Seph lol

 

[SeasideKingDumb]

Sephiroth looks really cool actually I'm pretty stoked.

I find it also hilarious how each new character just casually increases their range to an insane degree with Min Min and now Sephiroth's giant sword lol.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Reminder to ignore the salt, and drink water.

I cant understand who'd be salty over Sephiroth. He's one of the most iconic video game villains. He more then earns his spot.

 

[N3ON]

So when do you guys think Sephiroth will release this month? Christmas day perhaps?

I imagine they'll want him out asap. The earlier in the holiday season the better, and we're already coming to the tail end of it.

 

[SirBillyBob]

Hades won best action, let's hecking go.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Anyone with a sword and an anime-esque aesthetic

"Is this a Marth clone?"

believe it or not some people aren't final fantasy 7 fans. he appeals exclusively to an audience who would already be interested in smash.

Believe it or not I'm one of those people. I've never even played FF7.
That doesn't change that he's one of the most iconic villains of all time. Even if you don't like him you've got to at least recognize why his inclusion is a big deal.

 

[Polan]

what was that cloud final smash anyway

 

[PK-remling Fire]

As a Final Fantasy VII fan, I didn't think that Sephiroth was possible for a variety of reasons...

I'm gladly eating my words now, that was the most hyped I've been for a character since Banjo!!

 

[Cosmic77]

In hindsight, I suppose we should've had an idea something related to FF was coming. It was strange how the Chicobo hat still hadn't returned yet.

Needless to say, this also explains Geno's absence as well. It's not over yet, but I can't think of a more logical time for his costume to return.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Hades won best action, let's hecking go.

I really gotta get that game.

 

[Deleted member]

This is how Rex can still win

 

[Polan]

oh **** are they adding more final smashes

 

[TheBeastHimself]

So are we able to start taking Eggman as a serious contender now?

Eh, not really tbh. Mii hats just kinda come whenever.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

looks at trailer again

Oh boy. He's a swordsman with a Shulk sized sword, projectiles that act like Gooey Bombs and a comeback mechanic.
