Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Jomosensual]

I actually think Edelgard, should she get in, would be likely to get in as her post-timeskip design, complete with shield. It's a lot more interesting of a design, and making her an ultra-heavyweight with a shield would go a long way towards differentiating her from the rest of the FE characters.

If she gets in my guess is that we get a 4/4 split like Wario or Bayonetta. 4 skins for her pre skip design(original, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, and maybe a darked haired one or something) and then 4 color swaps with her post time skip.

I thought I answered this but Smashboards ate my post lol.

My two major requests left are Edelgard and Crash Bandicoot, but there are lots of other characters I think would be neat.

 

[Gold Lannister]

Hello, I have followed this topic in recent days.
any news about crash bandicoot?

Micaiah from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

:3

She is my most wanted without a doubt, but there are some other character that I would love to see, but not as much as her.

 

[Jomosensual]

If non-videogame characters were allowed...

If I was ever to pick a 4th party character for Smash my choice would be Mike Tyson. He's a sports icon so that wouldn't immediately start the Shrek/Goku/Harry Potter/Darth Vader train and he also has the Punch Out connection

This tweet is pretty perfect, in my opinion. It's a great outfit set.

We really live in a society rn where not a SINGLE character has got any leak juice for Fighter #5. Exciting tbh

There is something deeply ironic about the concept of Edelgard having a Rhea alt, of all people.

This quite amazing indeed, we're getting closer and closer, and there isn't anything remotely convincing enough to complete change speculation.

This would be fantastic. Completely support this idea

Yeah, but it would look cool

Spoiler

It would specially be a nice nod to the fact the Female Emperor (or Consort Empress I guess too) crown was likely designed in the image of a dragon.

If Xenoblade 1 were to double dip on fighters, I believe Fiora would be the next logical choice. She could even have both her mech armor and homs outfit as her main costumes.

But mostly because I want to see the Xenoblade fandom throw a fit at Nintendo and Smash for being more open about their game than them.

In total fairness, there's a precedent for it, with Luigi's Waluigi alt and Captain Falcon's Blood Falcon alt.

It seems like nobody really knows anything until a few days before a direct about the DLC. Personally I love that. Makes speculation a bit more fun when it feels more like everyone is just shooting the **** instead of have fights over which leak is real

If non-video game characters were allowed, I'd say Goku since DBZGT games have played a big part of my childhood but since that isn't the case, I'll just go with my top ten and reasons for them:

#1 Doomslayer - FPS rep and Bethesda rep. Doom is part of the foundation of FPS games and has a huge legacy in video game's history. Not to mention part of the story is exclusive to Nintendo via Doom 64.
#2 Geno - SMRPG rep. Has always been a personal desire of mine and has always been closely behind B&K when it comes to seeing in Smash. A bit biased though since SMRPG is one of my favorite SNES games and RPGs.
#3 Steve (Minecraft) - Minecraft is one of the largest games out there and captures a certain part of creativity we all share. I think it earns a spot on the roster and would be a great way to represent Western indie games and Microsoft (sorry, Master Chief).
#4 Lloyd/Velvet - Tales Of rep. We currently have 2 of the Big 3 JRPGs in the game (DQ, FF, Tales) and we don't have a proper Bandai character (I view PacMan as the Namco rep). Tales Of is a huge series and should have some presence in the game.
#5 Jill Valentine - Resident Evil and horror genre rep. RE is pretty much a household name at this point and Jill would make a great choice to represent the series.
#6 Reimu - Touho and Eastern indie rep. Touho has such a long legacy of games (and great music) and would fit quite well in Smash. Not to mention having an interesting kit.
#7 Ryu - Koei Temco, Ninja Gaiden, and DoA rep. Feels like a natural fit into Smash and Ninja Gaiden has a long history with Nintendo. KT should have someone in the game IM.
#8 Crash - Sony and Activision rep. While not directly tied to Sony anymore, he represents the classic Nintendo v Sega v Sony rivalry that existed in the 90s.
#9 Dixie Kong - A first party character. I would feel dirty if my top 10 didn't have at least one Nintendo character. Dixie would be a great fit and would further give us a complete DKC cast to go alongside K. Rool.
#10 Agumon - Bandai and virtual pet rep. Digimon v Pokemon is a classic match-up and it would be nice to play it out in Smash. Agumon would have a pretty interesting kit mixed with melee and ranged alongside digivolving. We have a lot of classic representation but nothing for that small era of virtual pets and who better to stand in for them than the mainstream virtual pets themselves.

I feel like Sora (as a Disney rep) and Rayman (as a Ubisoft rep) should be honorable mentions. Rayman not being in the game is really surprising after seeing the relationship that Ubi and Nintendo has after making Mario/Rappid's a game and Rappibds being present in Odyssey (IIRC).

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

- Prince of All Cosmos
- Dragonborn/Dovahkiin (or any Elder Scrolls rep)

- Bandana Dee
- Dr. Eggman
- Dixie Kong
- Waluigi
- Infernape
- Gex
- Demo (A Super Mario Thing)
- Phoenix Wright
- Gandhi (Civ Depiction)
- Kiawe
- Sophocles
- Lana
- Faba


If non-game characters are allowed:

- Shrek

Before E3, we had a deluge of Erdrick rumors. Additionally, Banjo was STRONGLY hinted at a couple of weeks before E3.


But rn? NOTHIN.

 

[KatKit]

Mines, in no particular order:

Elma
Style Savvy
Shantae
2B (or Officer Howard)
Sophitia (or Heihachi)
Carmen Sandiego
Sol Badguy (or Ragna)
Medusa (*cries in Phosphora assist trophy*)
Jill Valentine (or Monster Hunter or Sakura)
Estelle Bright (or Adol or Rean)

Just 10 is hard. I'm sorry Ayumi Tachibana, Prof. Layton/Katrielle, Phoenix Wright, Assassin's Creed rep, and Ayane/Ryu Hayabusa. And that's just me mostly throwing in cool characters that'd make sense. My REAL no rules list would be absolutely bonkers.

the father, the son, and the holy spirit

View attachment 243094

also automata is getting featured left and right in soul calibur, square mobile games and is even the key focus of FF14's 24-man raid for the next two years
so all i'm saying is that 2B is absolutely next on the list for square's business priorities

It really is all over the place. These are the notable Nier Automata cameos I know of:

Soul Calibur 6 (Bandai Namco)
Monster Hunter Frontier Z (Capcom)
Phantasy Star Online 2 (Sega)
Gravity Rush (AKA Gravity Daze) [Sony Computer Entertainment]

And I wouldn't be surprised if it got a cameo in Bayonetta 3 because of PlatinumGames.

Then of course Square Enix put it in:

Final Fantasy XIV
Lord of Vermillion
Servant of Thrones
Star Ocean: anamnesis
SINoALICE
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
VALKYRIE ANATOMIA ‐THE ORIGIN‐
Spelunker World

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Say Amaterasu was the final character of this Season Pass. How satisfied would you all be?

 

[SNEKeater]

You know, the thing about Jill being negotiated without success, if true, means that we're gonna get the real Resident Evil rep: Dante. DMC1 originally was Resident Evil 4 so there you go.
In fact Dante could represent 3 franchises: Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Shin Megami Tensei.

joking, ofc.

 

[Calamitas]

Say Amaterasu was the final character of this Season Pass. How satisfied would you all be?

She'd one of the very, very few characters that'd convince me to actually instantly buy the entire pass, after Joker, Hero, BK and Terry all have already failed to do so. So yeah, perfect satisfaction.

it also got put in the bravely default mobile game which is doubly neat because it's the same character designer

 

[Evil Trapezium]

An okay character to end off the pass. Nothing ground breaking but no final character really does that.

 

[Aerospherology]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

Geno
Porky Minch
Steve
Chase McCain
Uniracer

 

[yeet123]

While i dont think itd be the thee megaton effin bomb thatd id like to end the pass, Amaterasu is a wickedly cool character with an amazing game, design, music, artstyle, etc. i think shed be an excellent addition to smash

 

[SKX31]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

Loads:

DOTA 2 (Lina the Slayer)
Dante
Arle Nadja
Style Savvy protagonist
Master Chief
Kratos
Scorpion
Lara Croft
Tracer
Sly Cooper

Additional mentions: Sgt. Cortez (TimeSplitters), Sash Lilac (Freedom Planet), Rayman / Ezio (AC), Kat (Gravity Rush), Steve (MineCraft), Gordon Freeman (Half Life), Professor Layton, Project H.A.M.M.E.R's protagonist (ressurected, of course), Celeste. And that's my top 20.

 

[SirCamp]

Inb4 The Lighthouse is actually a hint to the next character and none of us noticed.

(Why yes we are going insane)

what lighthouse are you referring to?

Either way Isaac hype! Lol

 

[Ridrool64]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

Simply Arle Nadja, that's all I ask.

 

[Nightguything]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

Lloyd irving, he alone would cement smash ultimate as the Don dada for me personally.

aside from that I’d be happy with Jill valentine or Amaterasu from Okami.

I’d throw in crash and Geno to appease their fans as well.

 

[Ricksaw]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

2B or viewtiful Joe.

 

[yeet123]

I feel like no one ever brings up Sony reps. Kratos? Sackboy? Nathan Drake?

I feel like a Kratos in Smash announcement at the VGAs would instantly radiate the entire audience due to pure nuclear HYPE

 

[Ridel]

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.

NiGHTS
Klonoa
Rayman
Akira
Three Mage Sisters
Poochy
Doomguy

I live a depressed life

 

[GoodGrief741]

Say Amaterasu was the final character of this Season Pass. How satisfied would you all be?

I'd be extremely confused as to how Ammy managed to get in over every other Capcom character. But she's alright.

what lighthouse are you referring to?

Either way Isaac hype! Lol

How could I not see it? The Lighthouse is a reference to Isaac! He's in boys!

(The Lighthouse is a movie and someone mentioned it to reference how we're all going crazy with these back-and-forth leaks)

 

[DarthEnderX]

I personally would not want Heihachi RIGHT after a different fighting character

Or at least, not another karate guy.

Gimmie a SamSho or a SoulCal or a Darkstalk and I'm totally on board.

Say Amaterasu was the final character of this Season Pass. How satisfied would you all be?

I'd be okay with it.

Who do you guys want as your most wanted? No rules. No BS. Your desires.
