Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[PLATINUM7]

With Cloud's original VA, he's got a new one circa FF7R.

From what people say, it's a Square Enix policy that their voice actors need to be credited, which they can't be if they're a union actor and Smash is a non-union project.

If that's true, you'd need a change in policy, not actor.

And Cloud's old VA was a union actor, is his new one? What about Sephiroth for that matter?

Let's appreciate how far we have come with DLC.



How is it so far? I think it is amazing. It has STEVE!!! :D

 

[N3ON]

If push comes to shove, I'll be legit surprised if this isn't spammed on Nintendo's social meedz.

Impressive and sad that at three separate occasions this will have been able to be used during Ultimate's tenure.

 

[Cosmic77]

Assuming both the Chicobo hat and Geno costume return, I believe that only leaves us with the MH costumes and Lloyd Irving.

I'm low-key not expecting Lloyd just because of the other two costumes, but maybe I'm thinking prematurely. Still believe MH is up for grabs, but who knows? We'll just have to see how this plays out.

Well guys, I made a bet. If we got a reveal at TGA, I would make comprehensive movesets for three characters from that character's series.

The submissions are in, and I now have to make movesets for:

• Kefka
• Bartz
• And this absolute trainwreck of fashion:
  
  

Wish me luck

Can I ask who the third guy is? I'm afraid I have no idea.

I have so many questions.

Why does he have like three outfits? What is that weird cabbage looking bottom scarf? There are many things that just confuse me. Why is his book stuffed between two pizzas? What are those weird shoes? Why do they have neck collars? Why do they look like old boots and high heels? Why does he have like three mini shields? Why does he have two large belts surrounding his body? Finally, what in the world is his sword?

 

[PLATINUM7]

I don't know. I figured Square Enix only hired union members.

Can't really find anything on the status of the current actors.

 

[Ivander]

Luso Clemens from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.

 

[Munchi]

I love the fact that Sephiroth is next to pichu

 

[Deleted member]

What are you going to be for Halloween?

Him: "Batman!"
Her: "Creeper!"
Them: "Mickey Mouse!"
Me:

Don't forget Gilgamesh as well. If Geno and Chobo both appear in Sephiroth's presentation, they may be leading on to what at least one of the next characters may be like (in particular, I expect another RPG character to bring the Namco costumes).

 

[BlondeLombax]

It works well with Isabelle next to Cloud, doesn't it? The fanart should essentially draw itself!

 

[Droodle]

Fun fact: Sephiroth's black wing first made it's appearance in Kingdom Hearts 1 (and I don't mean Safer Sephiroth).
As a big FF and KH fan, I see this as an absolute win.

 

[kylexv]

I've watched the reveal six times and I still can't comprehend what I'm seeing.
Quite possibly the coolest character reveal ever.

True

Honestly, with Sephiroth getting in

And realizing that there's Monster Hunter content in Smash, kinda has me doing a double take in Monster Hunter's general direction lately. Especially since the next wave of Amiibo come out in March, and Rise comes out in March.


Doubly so since Steve to Sephiroth was a lightning fast turn around as opposed to Min Min to Steve.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, I know I am Steve gushing a lot, but come on.
This is literally perfection.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Huh I just realized I first played FF7 around this time last year. I swear, this is ****ing poetic lmao

 

[TCT~Phantom]

I think the best part of the trailer can be summed up with this image.

Have you just been talking about Steve since I was last here like two months ago

 

[Ben Holt]

Steve's hype.

 

[Cosmic77]

MH being so huge in Japan + the missing costumes/lack of Capcom costumes in this pass thus far + content already being present in Smash but in a very limited capacity is what's making me think MH is probably in the best position out of all the third-parties.

Granted, I'm not really taking into account the companies that still don't have a character in Smash, but if I had to make a bet, my money would go on a Capcom rep who's from MH.

 

[cashregister9]

Sephiroth probably has the best Ultimate reveal Trailer IMO.

 

[Deleted member]

Here is the interesting part.

Steve is a huge hitter. But so is Sephiroth.

If Steve was planned for E3, then theoretically, Sephiroth would have to be released earlier so the wait would not be massive.

Could we get another huge hitting third party after Sephiroth? My idea was that if Steve was planned for E3, then Sephiroth would have been released on October, and CP9 would have been released at this Game Awards.

Have you just been talking about Steve since I was last here like two months ago

I mean he was my most wanted character for years, so yeah, of course I am talking about him a lot.

I remember during the Smash 4 days, when I was younger, I made this future Smash 4 DLC, and it was basically all Minecraft mobs. Lmao.

 

[Munchi]

I imagine a conversation like this between Cloud and Sephiroth
Cloud: I'm finally away from that guy
Sephiroth: Hello Cloud
Cloud: Oh come on, you will follow me even to another franchise

 

[Spongeboob]

Tifa, Barret, Hayabusa, Jonesy, Geno.

Enjoy your Mii costume wave.

I'm not sure if we're getting 4 or 5, but I think the Chocobo and Geno costumes will return.

People always expect the next character to be like the last, it's nothing new.

That's the thing...

 

[Deleted member]

What would be very interesting is if Sephiroth had extra victory dialogue after beating Cloud, and vice versa.

You know, for example, Lucina mocks Ike and Marth if she beats them.

And I believe Wolf, Falco, and Fox mock each other. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'll just go ahead and predict a MH character drop in March.


March is the logical next time to get a character due to it being 80-90 days since Sephiroth at that point.... can't believe I'm ****ing saying that, and between Rise coming out, and the Amiibos coming out, a character in March seems very likely.


I don't know if it'll be MH 100%, but it'd be a very happy 'coincidence' if it were.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

On thr topic of tlou winning ****, it must feel bad losing to a studio that crunches emplyees to no end and fires a man who was sexually harrased after he made a complain. but Nope, They won best company anyway. Its fine, its fine, yeah, its fine

 

[Deleted member]

I have a confession.

When the Smash trailer happened, I thought it was going to be Jonesy.

Then the One Winged Angel theme starts playing, and I immediately knew who it was.

Judging by the memes that have been slinging around in the earlier part of today, I doubt you were alone on that front.

In the end, us KH fan still got something

 

[Shroob]

So I'm just gonna put this out there in the Aether that the next wave of Amiibo drop on the exact same day as Monster Hunter Rise.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Munchi]

I've already found a Sephiroth fanart in smash. People are fast

 

[Geno Boost]

one thing for sure non echo second 3rd party rep from same series rule is now broken
this could mean alot in the next smash game speculation
in fact i would support Black Mage again in this case which i have lost all hope in him when Cloud was announced

Some people believe that date to be a contender for new hardware, as well.

 

[Flik]

You know, for example, Lucina mocks Ike and Marth if she beats them.

This is why I play my Smash in japanese

 

[DarthEnderX]

And, hey, I know it's being overlooked right now but...NEW GHOSTS 'N GOBLINS GAME ON SWITCH!

C'mooooooon Arthur! Bring me that promotional pick!
