As if Pepsiman would ever make it over the Coca-Cola bear, c'mon.

I can’t believe you’ve done this.

This is a travesty, one that will NEVER be forgiven!

So I assume you've switched back?

It’s already over. You missed the disconfirmation of Pepsiman, resulting in my sudden betrayal to preferring Coke and other Coca-Cola products.

I also stan Coke Bear now.

There's the rest of your Fighters Pass, everybody.

 

[7NATOR]

I Heard about the Spirit Event we got is actually skipping a Number, suggestion one of the Mii Fighters will have their Spirit Events

-if Geno is Coming, I could see SMRPG Spirits added to the Game, well more than Geno and Mallow at least
-If Estelle is Coming, Any Falcom Series Spirit Event makes sense
-If Lloyd is coming, Tales of Spirit Event
-If Ryu Hayabusa is Coming...well actually I don't Expect a Spirit event from him
-If Dante is coming, DMC Spirit Event, With Vergil and Nero and such

I'm betting on Estelle the most to be honest. No I'm not trying to be mean pushing the Idea that Estelle is a Costume, I just personally think that is what will happen

 

[Eldrake]

40. Barney

Yeah, I'm thinking he's in.

 

[Polan]

I would take Unown just to see Sakurai make a moveset consisting of one move

sonic already exists

Spoiler

got em

 

[Oracle Link]

I do wish they kept her Twilight Princess look though. I'm not a fan of how childlike she looks in Ultimate. They could've kept that as an alternative look like how they did for Bayo and Cloud.

probably because of that

there are at least 3 other examples

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Yeah, I'm thinking he's in.

Hes the only echo fighter to not have a base character, but Sakurai insists on calling him one.

 

[Eldrake]

Hes the only echo fighter to not have a base character, but Sakurai insists on calling him one.

Sakurai: Now as you may have noticed, Barney is currently the only echo fighter to not have a base fighter. This is because we had unprecedented difficulty contacting the voice actor for that one, and we felt it would be an irredeemable disservice to include that character without their iconic voice actor. Please understand.

 

[Deleted member]

Alright, I added 42 more characters. This is the real number.

Have fun.

sonic already exists

Spoiler

got em

Hmm. If Sonic were to get a move-set overhaul, what would his new moves be?

 

[Schnee117]

i too can post a list of 40 characters and get some of them right

i was talking about terry in smash way back in 2019. so bow before my predictive powers. bow ya ****s.

Make sure to buy premium and change your name to "Polan got SSBU DLC right"

 

[dezeray112]

What do you guys think about this "40 names list"? It just came to my knowledge now, watching the last Papa Geno's video: https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/464169792/#
I've been very skeptical with leaks since the Grinch Leak, but to have Sephiroth and Terry in a leak that was posted back in May 2019... Hmmm...
Also, the only fighter we got so far who's not mentioned in the list in Min Min. Of course we should take it with a grain of salt, but i found it interesting to share with you all anyways.
Oh, and sorry if this leak was discussed already.

Take it with a grain of salt as the list is missing Min Min.

Homer Simpson from The Simpsons Hit & Run.

 

[7NATOR]

Hmm. If Sonic were to get a move-set overhaul, what would his new moves be?

Sonic Really just need his Side B Replaced with something like Light Speed Dash or Boost


However, I do think People want Sonic to be more Flashy, like he his in the Modern Games. Classic Sonic, while Cool, is no where as Flashy in terms of moves and movement like Modern Sonic is. I'm talking his Moves from Sonic battle as an example. Perhaps giving hi Air Taunts to show off the Taunt system in Modern Sonic Games and Sonic's Cool factor

Sonic in Smash, in terms of Moveset, Is Classic Sonic that has the Homing attack (And I believe there was a Homing attack variant in 3D Blast anyway). I Think People want an Accurate Mix of Modern Sonic and Classic Sonic in Sonic's Moveset

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Are you guys expecting anything special tomorrow? Not like a new character but something smaller like Small Battlefield. 35 minutes seems like a lot for an seemingly simple character like Sephiroth.

 

[Oracle Link]

Alright, I added 42 more characters. This is the real number.

Have fun.

Hmm. If Sonic were to get a move-set overhaul, what would his new moves be?

im probably the only one that prefers him being in a Ball for a lot of attack
still should get a new side Special

[Polan]

looking through my history i was talking about terry way back in 2018. so my predictive powers are even stronger that i thought.

 

[SharkLord]

Alright, I added 42 more characters. This is the real number.

Hmm. If Sonic were to get a move-set overhaul, what would his new moves be?

Some Sonic Battle moves for his normals and the Boost as his side special. The Spin Dash is moved to his down special. Perhaps some slower attacks or more endlag, especially on the specials, to prevent the annoying campy moveset he's become infamous for. Though, I'm not the best with competitive stuff; I'd imagine SKX31 would have a more in-depth explanation on the competitive issues with Sonic's kit.

 

[JOJONumber691]

She's much better in Ultimate than in the other games.

I do wish they kept her Twilight Princess look though. I'm not a fan of how childlike she looks in Ultimate. They could've kept that as an alternative look like how they did for Bayo and Cloud.

I think Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf should have alternate looks, while Link should've gotten an Echo Fighter THAT IS ALREADY FINISHED I SWEAR TO GOD!

 

[Deleted member]

Wait.

Do all of you remember "Jane"?

What happened? Was Kasumi going to be an alt of Joker?

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Maybe a new mode, such as

?

God I hope, that would be sick. Playing as Master Hand then was like my childhood dreams coming true.

I know that this is a joke post but I would unironically be hype for Opa opa

He's probably going to talk about the history of Final fantasy or something like that. Min min was also 35 minutes and she wasn't that complex, so I don't expect any bonus simnply because of the time.

 

[Deleted member]

If Momotsuki can make a boss rush in two days, then why isn't there a boss rush?

Did they just ignore it?

 

[JOJONumber691]

Wait.

Do all of you remember "Jane"?

What happened? Was Kasumi going to be an alt of Joker?

Yeah. I'm assuming Kasumi's Role changed during Development of P5R, so Joker had to be updated to accommodate.

 

[Polan]

Maybe a new mode, such as

?

boss rush
aesthetic changes to old final smashes like cloud's (fierce deity for young link etc.)
plz gib pac maze

The Jane Wars are over

Some of Royal's coding indicated that Kasumi used Joker's daggers at some point in development, so maybe?

[Polan]

cant wait for the 25 minutes of sakurai going off on people who hate advent children
"you absolutely tasteless clowns, this is why advent children is the peak of final fantasy."

 

[SharkLord]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

A new game in the Trails/Kiseki series has been announced. As per Smash spec law, this means the new protagonists will be added to Smash to advertise the game

 

[Momotsuki]

Sakurai gets to lambast the bad taste of others because he has good taste. Anyone with good taste has this privilege, such as myself. I don't make the rules.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Some Sonic Battle moves for his normals and the Boost as his side special. The Spin Dash is moved to his down special. Perhaps some slower attacks or more endlag, especially on the specials, to prevent the annoying campy moveset he's become infamous for. Though, I'm not the best with competitive stuff; I'd imagine SKX31 would have a more in-depth explanation on the competitive issues with Sonic's kit.

Slower aerials might make him more campy since he's worse at approaching. Or it could just not do anything at all since Spin Charge and Spin Dash are the main culprits here. Well, that and his run speed combined with his fast Up Special that he can act out of, which he can use to just leave whatever interaction he was in consequence free.

One thing that might help prevent that without removing his key trait (that being his run speed) is to lean in on his home series's momentum based gameplay by making his initial dash really crappy. That way he won't be able to just peace out in any given situation, but he would still be able to chase his opponents down either through running or Spin Dashing or something.

 

[Momotsuki]

"35 minutes sure seems like a long time for just blah blah blah" how many times have we been through this one?
