Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

Replace Nakoruru with Athena and I'm on board my guy.

Ugh, yet another high school kid with psychic superpowers?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Panda, the accident happened months ago. You gotta move on! It wasn't your fault!

Panda would move on but he sees a car revving up behind him

 

[yeet123]

Frogger is like a Pac Man in my eyes. A retro icon with a simple game design/character design but is without a doubt a staple in gaming history.

Im ok with him because I personally am a big advocate for "cereal mascots" in Smash lol

What? Is he blocking traffic? Unforgivable.

I don't get it.

He's sitting on a chair with a magazine in one hand and an airhorn in the other, eagerly awaiting a car to honk at him for blocking the road and reading a magazine so he can hink back

Of course, that's probably the first fighter after the Fighter's Pass, since Challenger Pack 5 also got leaked.

I thought the frogger leak was proven fake? Didn't perfectchaos83 post a bunch of leaks with "slipspace" mode in them?

 

[Rie Sonomura]

You know

you’d think Nintendo would have taken the video down if it was legit by now. The presentation is literally TOMORROW.

Okay, the driver is legally allowed to floor it to make Panda move.

if the panda doesn't move in 15 minutes the car is legally allowed to leave

 

[NurpNurp]

If he had anyone for a striker assist, he'd probably have Joe and Andy, and maybe Blue Mary

I just hope Athena and Kula get something

Wasn't it uploaded somewhere othet than Youtube? That could explain why.

Yeah. Let's just have the car 180 degree turn on a one lane

I'm personally not expecting a Kula spirit or anything but I can't lie, that'd be great. Love her. We might get spirits of the '94 teams which means Athena. But also LUCKY GLAUBER BABYYYY

If Kula gets nothing, at least we'll have a K' spirit. They have to have him, he's almost as iconic to KoF as Kyo, at least imo

i'd imagine we might actually get a kula spirit given her popularity

i mean she even appears as a playable character in DOA6 of all things

Oh man, I need to play KoF more now. I'm getting Hoopz Barkley flashbacks from Lucky's design

They wouldn't stand a chance in Arcana Heart.

Yes, that's a special attack list for one character.

There's also a character with a reverse Spinning Bird Kick charge input where you have to hold the up button before the down button, but it's a move performed on the ground lol.

My secondary is pretty fun, too:

And that's just half of her special moves.

Kula's kinda cute ngl. Wouldn't mind but also don't knoe jack about her

 

[---]

Athena, OG or PS, I'm going to be surprised if we don't at least get a spirit of given her role in pre-Terry/NeoGeo SNK. She could work as either a Mii Brawler or Swordfighter depending on which version of her they use.

Would also love a Crystalis Mii Swordfighter outfit. SNK 40th Anniversary is worth it for that game alone.

He is literally just a 90s basketball player and I love it.

Just give me Leona. I need my weeb ****

And yet despite being on the title screen of the English release of KOF All Stars, neither she nor Ash are available yet. Well, Kula was a Halloween pull that I didn't get grumble grumble I love Witch Mature and all but I wanted lollipop kula grumble grumble but that's about it. I really don't know what era Terry will be pulling from, which is what excites me most. We could get only Fatal Fury stuff, early KOF stuff, or a nice series-spanning selection and I don't think there's a wrong answer there.

everybody gangsta til diamond dust is included in the KOF stage

 

[Koopaul]

If they aren't going to talk about any other fighters then I'm hoping there will be a ton of changes made in the 6.0 update that will take up that time. Here's my wishlist:

- Online improvements
- You can now play any song on any stage in My Music
- You can now set the frequency of each individual item
- Certain stages with their hazards turned off will be fixed, such as Summit or Living Room
- Mii Fighters are now usable in Classic Mode
- The ability to see hitboxes in Training Mode
- Extra alternate colors for fighters

Any of these would make me extremely happy.

The only KoF memories I have are terrible Chrome and Mobile versions of XIII, and that thereby gives me fond memories of Kula and Ash, although I gotta say, Original Zero has ridiculous amounts of swagger

Basically if the whole OST of Unlimited Match isn't included I'm going to lose my ****. They're all bangers.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

There was also gameplay footage leaked. Proceed with caution.

 

[Fenriraga]

Wait...

Sakurai has a NEO GEO controller next to him in the thumb.

We have what is basically a console-tan in Neo-Geo Battle Collesium.

SHES IN BOYS LETS GOOO

She even attacks with Tetris pieces. A double wammy.

 

[waddledeeonredyoshi]

I low key hope the Frogger leak is real.
Not so much because of the character choices, pretty neutral on Doomslayer and actively dislike Geno (Frogger would be funny tho), but I'd kill to have Hollow Knight in the game, even as a Mii costume. Extreme bonus points if it also came with this banger.

My predictions:
- Mii costumes obviously. What will they be exactly though? Nobody knows...
- World of Light Very Hard Mode (solid black dot that’s totes ominous) and/or 2P
- any song on any stage, I second this notion
- stand-alone music packs without a character or costume?? Maybe?? Please??
- some new online mode
- stage hazards fixed as you said
- WoL possession/Phantom Fighter effects usable outside the mode
- aaaand STILL no new playable reveals sorry

I'd like to see them finally update Special Smash, its pretty much been the same since Brawl.
Allow us to change each player individually so we can finally do stuff like Metal Mario vs Giant Donkey Kong without forcing them to take their respective items every ten seconds...

 

[Seanapotamus]

I'd figured KoF characters would have complex movesets, but I've never imagined some of them like Geese's would be absurd.

Since Terry will pretty much have input moves just like in the games he's in, I think Sakurai will explain how his moves work during the presentation. I just hope we remember what the inputs are lol. Also LUCKY GLAUBER FOR SMASH!

Ah ice powers. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised. We got a random trucker who throws fire at people

[BZL8]

John Romero, co-founder of Id Software and co-creator of Doom, was recently asked about the Mii Costume leak. Neither beneficial nor detrimental I'd say. I think he thought they meant the Cacodemon being an actual character, not a costume.

You'll have to stick to 94 and 98 for the Sports Team. It's a running gag for them to always lose their invite.

Ai, one of the protagonists of Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum.
