Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[yeet123]

It's just Hadouken, Shoryuken and Tatsu. Double Hadouken for Buster Wolf and quarter circle back half circle forward for Power Geyser

im garbage at more complex fighters so i gotta look up the specific input lists lol

 

[Deleted member]

So...what is everyone's opinion on Doom Slayer's chances (tbh I never like the name Doomguy and Slayer is more fitting)

Mine's...around 75%.

 

[yeet123]

There's still a double standard.

Hey, i personally would want Mai's giant personalities and the Slayer's blood in the game. But concessions must be made

 

[AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea]

Even though he has muffin hands they gave Terry Kirby gloves, ffs. So my prediction is that fighter number 5 is going to have a shoestring budget because they spent it all on Terry.

>Budget
>SNK

pick one

Two songs again.

Less content.

I see where this is going.

 

[GoodGrief741]

But Doom Slayer is a good boy. He cleans out hell and makes earth safe.

Doomguy is the most Christian of videogame characters. He does the Lord's work. Sakurai's definitely inviting him to his Christian Minecraft server.

IIRC, Nudity was also a reason why Tharja was a cut trophy in Smash 3DS.

And my lord, her Spirit is just awful

You and me are mortal enemies now.

It all relies on whether that leak is real. If so, Doom Guy is 100% in my books.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lmao SNK are almost as cheap as Capcom when it comes to licensing judging by all their ****. At most, the agreement for the 50 songs costs a beer with Sakurai

Doomguy is implied in 2016 to be a literal angelic warrior
How could such a holy man not fall under the classification of good boys and girls?

 

[TheCJBrine]

I rate Doomguy's chances...

...99%.

To leave room for doubt. That I don't have.

I think FP5 is open to just about anyone right now even Indies and first parties. I also see no reason to assume we're getting a whole nother fighters pass, and could easily see "more fighters in development" meaning like two to three fighters at most. I don't buy most leakers, or any theories, or any of the current leaks including the Mii one so I think he has as good of a chance as literally anyone else. Same as Shantae, Crash, Ryu, Rex and Pyra, or even a complete off the wall random pick like Boxboy or Gooigi. There's no reason to assume the next character will even be a "big" character either.

I must consult with the Elder Gods. (Verge amd Sabi)

But yeah...if Doomguy's a lock, then...

They're too busy saying Shao Kahn can do whatever he wants.

Remember there's still post-Pass DLC. I'm certain we'll at least get 1 or 2 female fighters.

 

[Will]

its just a guy with a gun and sometimes chainsaw

is there anything objectively wrong with the idea

Since I think in advance, most probably he will offer them to make up for the lack of them in the previous one.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Geno is like an angel, too, being a star warrior from above.

Doomguy and Geno will both be invited to Sakurai's Minecraft server.

Bold works for someone in spankety-ing range.

Because there haven't been any women in the DLC and it's getting in nerves! I know he's big but...this issue is really clouding my judgement here.

 

[yeet123]

I want to think like this, but I also think about how EASY it'd be for Sakurai to make Doom Guy a Sans-costume situation.

 

[NoOtherPersona]

Mine's...around 75%.

Doom guy is a nice guy who wants to take care of his rabbit Doom Slayer is gods wraith incarnate

 

[Deleted member]

I want to think like this, but I also think about how EASY it'd be for Sakurai to make Doom Guy a Sans-costume situation.

That's also a valid possibility, though Sakurai would be logical to make him a playable fighter if he could.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

I know his name is Doom Slayer but calling him Doom Guy is hilarious in a casual sort of way. He's a guy who fights doom. You don't need to know his name, all you need to know is that he is angry.

Onto the "Evidence" that I have for him.

Bethesda talking to Nintendo
Mass advertising of Doom this year
"More surprises for Nintendo fans" - Pete Hines
Hiring "voices" for heavy metal choir in a "video game"

... Oh and I guess the Mii hat if that turns out to be true which it almost certainly looks like it is. Just have to wait for Fighter 5 to see if this is real.

However despite all of that, all of this could fall apart in an instant if he is not Fighter 5 so I'm giving him the same chance as you. 75%

 

[Deleted member]

I want to think like this, but I also think about how EASY it'd be for Sakurai to make Doom Guy a Sans-costume situation.

Then why also add the Cacodemon? I get your idea, but Sans was only 1 costume. Can't see why you'd go to Bethesda (or whoever holds the rights) and only ask for two mii costumes and maybe a song or two.

 

[AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea]

I wouldnt say that Doom Slayer is a lock but he seems pretty likely in my opinion

 

[yeet123]

That's also a valid possibility, though Sakurai would be logical to make him a playable fighter if he could.

I agree with you.... yet we're able to play as a Piranha Plant.

I couldn't tell you. I'm going to continue to hype responsibly.

For the record, I literally JUST picked up and beat DOOM '16 last week... hes my most wanted now

 

[Will]

Doom Guy as a Mii Costume would just look like one of the Hunters in Federation Force



I don't mean anything by it I just wanted to say that cause that's been on my mind all day.

 

[P1ZZ4CHU]

I must consult with the Elder Gods. (Verge amd Sabi)

So they're going to sit there and do nothing while taking credit for the events that unfold?

Nothing wrong with caution.

I didn't hear that part before, source?

 

[3BitSaurus]

Mine's...around 75%.

Agree about the name - if only because Slayer always reminds me of Guilty Gear's Slayer for whatever reason.

If the Mii Costume leak is real, then 90%. Otherwise I'd give him about 70%. He's just one of those characters that I feel are likely regardless of leaks.

 

[GKMLTTSB]

I will only ever support Doom Bloke getting in if it comes with them canonizing an actual name for him.

Like... Gary... Or Brendan. Or... Dweezil, or something.

 

[yeet123]

Re: DOOM's name

His name has gotta be Doomslayer. Its cemented thanks to the introduction the evil forces of hell give him (36 seconds in) :

 

[SNEKeater]

I think Doomslayer has decent chances. I was more confident about him being in this pass a few weeks ago, but now I think FP5 will be a Namco character or maybe a Capcom one, maybe Resident Evil.

 

[Night Gale]

>Budget
>SNK

pick one

I choose the third option

>Sakurai passion

 

[dezeray112]

The Phoenix one, the Frogger one (no Hollow Knight costume) and I think that’s it

cacodemon and Mallow are still MIA so that’s still up in the air, and the KOS-MOS leak by the guy who claimed Banjo’s codename was Buddy still stands

also, out of curiosity what is Terry’s codename...?

I think it is also safe to say that we can debunk the 13th November Nintendo Direct leak as they claimed that Terry would be shown, but was shown during today's presentation.

 

[Goombaic]

I'm just gonna support Travis Touchdown as fighter 5. This is not based on any evidence or patterns or anything, really. I just feel like it'd be funny if he was the one who prevailed over everyone else that is heavily speculated.
