Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Hydreigonfan01]

Only remaining missing third party mii costumes

Monster Hunter (Rathalos armor)
Monster Hunter (Kirin armor)
Lloyd

3 characters left to go

Predictions: All Monster Hunter Miis don't get upgraded. Dante is the next Smash fighter. Some JRPG sword fighter comes with Lloyd who isn't from Square. Maybe Rex?

 

[DMTN]

I assume the challenge unlocks the character and not the entire pack (stage, music, spirits, etc)?

 

[Shroob]

So yeah, only 3 Mii costumes left


And 2 of those costumes probably would come at the exact same time if they're not upgrade to a character(Monster Hunter).



We're in the endgame now.

 

[AmphabulouSnake]

I find it crazy that Maximilian Dood SOMEHOW called the Sephiroth boss thing, it ain't a secret boss but it's STILL A BOSS NONETHELESS

 

[Arcane Jill]

Really happy with the pack! Sephy's moveset looks like fun, the stage is amazing, and we got more than 2 songs! Unfortunate that Geno is out, but I already had a strong feeling this would happen, so it doesn't sting too hard.

 

[UndonePuzzle]

Hoping to get more than one victory screen! What we've got is absolutely magnificent, but I'd like to see him in other poses before he walks off.

 

[Deleted member]

Alright, so are we able to kill Sephiroth on 6 PM ET???

 

[Dinoman96]

They're still waiting

 

[PeridotGX]

i've been buying the fighters independently, guess i'm not getting sephiroth until the 22nd.

 

[zeldasmash]

-Tifa, Barret, Aerith, the Chocobos and Geno make it as Mii Costumes
-Amazing looking stage
-Fun as hell looking play style
-****ING MEGAFLARE AS A SPECIAL MOVE
-Supernova looking amazing
-Unique Boss event that lets you play him and play against him early
-Awesome and unique classic mode
-ACTUAL FINAL FANTASY MUSIC!!!!
-A victory screen that is a thing of beauty

.....Terry officially has competition for the best DLC newcomer. This was phenomenal.

 

[BlondeLombax]

So, how is the Geno thread holding up? Hopefully good, considering the circumstance, I don’t want anybody to feel hurt by today...

 

[Garteam]

dunno if we complain enough we might get it as a standalone thing

I want to believe, but I don't think that's happening, unfortunately. It seems like Sakurai's relatively happy to toss the Boss Rush as Sephiroth's classic mode and call it day.

Granted, it's not really like Brawl's Boss Rush either, given that you're automatically recovering health between rounds and it looks like the bosses themselves are quite nerfed relative to their final battles/battles in WoL, but it's honestly better than having to play WoL's final stage to do a Boss Rush.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I'm really happy about the Tifa, Barrett, and Aerith Miis, as well as the music. Glad FF has something resembling normal representation now (or at least FF7).

 

[NotGenerico]

Lloyd and the Monster Hunter Mii Costumes are the only ones left. I think they will come back with characters that have something in common with them, like maybe something like a Capcom character comes with the Monster Hunter costumes or Lloyd shows up accompanying a swordsman.

Or both those costumes return at the same time with a Capcom character that also happens to be a red swordsman like Lloyd.

 

[XorahnGaia]

Anyway, Sephiroth is probably one of the best addition to Ultimate. Sad that Electric the Chocobo and Gold Saucer aren't in but hey, it's nice that Sakurai was open about the copyright problems (Let the "Square is stingy" meme die now.)

Just don't make his Spirit Board too barren and we're golden.

 

[Nartic]

9 songs exceeded my expectations. Cool Pack.

I think the pack still goes up for purchase soon and will trigger the boss fight. That's what it sounded like was said, though I'm not 100%.

 

[JustASora/CrashSupporter]

Needless to say I was surprised that they revealed the Mii costumes so early in the presentation. I guess that way people who just wanted to see those wouldn't need to sit through the entire stream.


Welp, here goes my condolences for Geno fans. They couldn't even get a deluxe version of the mii costume. Like, I've never really wanted Geno, but I can still feel the pain of his fans. They're about to be clowned and humiliated by the Smash community even more than they already do.

 

[Polan]

feeling like we're gonna hunt some monsters in smash bros

4 FINAL FANTASY REMIXES

WE WENT FROM 2 STRAIGHT RIPS TO 11 SONGS WITH 4 REMIXES


Beyond that, Sephiroth Challenge is absolutely the coolest post-release thing they have done with Ultimate. Such a fun, unique idea for a shadowdrop.

(RIP Geno, I never cared that much but you would’ve been neat)

 

[Faso115]

I guess the meme is less "Square is stingy" and more "Square properties are a copyright mess"

From a vaule standpoint, I still feel like Terry's wins by a landslide. One of the craziest stages in the game and a whole godamn soundtrack, for $6.

 

[Kokiden]

I can't wait to break shields and go all ham with Gigaflare lol.

It's so dramatic I ****ing love it.

 

[BernkastelWitch]

It honestly says something about how successful Smash Ultimate is when even with all the weird legal hurdles for FF7, all it took was a second character to give it proper representation in the game and finally have FF7 stand up to par with the other franchises content.

That actually makes me a bit happy to see, in all honesty.

 

[AmphabulouSnake]

I think Square Enix definitely redeemed themselves here (for FF7 content at least)

 

[Blargg888]

There was no section talking about Spirits, that's a bit weird.

Huh, now that you mention it, you're right.
I thought it felt like something was missing...

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

This is going to sound really bizarre, but Sephiroth's playstyle feels like what would happen if Ike, Ridley and Fox performed a three-way fusion dance.

 

[Polan]

Beyond that, Sephiroth Challenge is absolutely the coolest post-release thing they have done with Ultimate. Such a fun, unique idea for a shadowdrop.

also a really good way to get people to pony up for the pack or sephiroth himself

 

[XorahnGaia]

We got the Spirit Board!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

EDIT: Some artwork are from the Remake too!

[Goombaic]

Just don't make his Spirit Board too barren and we're golden.

Don't worry, that turned out pretty good too.

No misses in this pack.

EDIT: ****

 

[UndonePuzzle]

I guess you can say that last Mii costume triggered a Geno-cide

...i'll see myself out

 

[kylexv]

We got the Spirit Board!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Seeing as there's a second row on the second page, this is the biggest spirit board for a DLC character so far

 

[PacificFun]

Twitter is being so mean to Geno fans right now.

 

[Ben Holt]

No Black Mage Mii Costume.
Am salty.
Just kidding, but it was the Mii Costume I wanted.

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

I can't wait to break shields and go all ham with Gigaflare lol.

It's so dramatic I ****ing love it.

his hand flourish while doing the attack is MWAH, beau-ti-ful.

 

[Deleted member]

Couldn’t even get the preMiium treatment.....

My condolences to Geno fans. Hopefully someday your support will pay off in full.

 

[blackghost]

No, Nomura owns the game's artwork. Max isn't a good source because as much as I like his content, even have his latest Power Rangers video up as we speak, he's not a source, especially when he says **** like "Mortal Kombat's banned in Japan". It sounds like an excuse made to justify why the IP hasn't gotten anything new as the actual reason, surprisingly low sales, isn't seen as a good answer

mortal kombat HAS been banned in japan before. dont know if it currently is. i know it wasnt on steam in japan for 11. with cero ratings its is very possible it nis still banned

and yes crono issues are almost strictly related to copyrights and licensing. Sakurai even referenced how hard getting FF music is in this demonstration. that was just music let alone the actual characters.

 

[AreJay25]

Don't worry, that turned out pretty good too.

No misses in this pack.

EDIT: ****

Now, I wonder if they went out of their way to update Cloud's fighter spirits.

 

[Deleted member]

So, when are we able to fight Sephiroth? I know in twenty minutes, but what time? Will I have to update my game?
