Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

It'd be really funny if the guy predicting Dynasty Warriors is right and they just randomly add, like, Nobunaga Oda to Smash.

I mean, we have Dracula, so I guess

 

[zferolie]

Less then an hour to go... and surprisingly very little direct leaks in general. I think it was only the SNK thing right?

Obligatory: "It's Lu Bu, DO NOT PURSUE!"

That'd be super unexpected. I would buy the season pass for random Dynasty Warrior fans that got shunned for predicting it if that happened, I kid you not.

It would be freaking awkward if we ended up with someone like Marco instead.

Puerto Rican bois, assemble.

A Metal Slug rep (or reps) would be cool, too. Although Megaman's pellets and Fox's laser scare me, so I can only imagine someone with a heavy machine gun lol.

Would you have him use his Rayquaza as a final smash?

Oh my god yes

On the idea of a possible tag-team-type character being Fighter #4 (including Terry), there are a number of potential team combinations that could result in happening (again, IF we're getting a tag-team-type character).

1. Terry, Andy, Joe (representing Fatal Fury, as well as the Team Fatal Fury from King of Fighters 94' (and so on)). This would be the canon team; however the downside is that not many might know who Andy, and Joe are (on top of the other fact of others not even knowing who Terry is).

2. Terry, Kyo, and Mai/Nakoruru (representing King of Fighters with the inclusion of some of the most popular characters of the franchise). This team combo is ok-ish, however, since it's an amalgam of team members from other teams within KoF, well, it is what it is (of course, in recent KoF games you can make such teams).

3. Terry, Marco, Haohmaru (representing SNK fighting games). Now this team would consist of the most popular, or MC-type characters of SNK's hottest franchises (imo). Terry would be in for Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, Marco would be in for Metal Slug, and Haohmaru for Samurai Showdown. What's interesting of this team would be that you'd have a brawler in Terry, a gunner in Marco, and a swordfighter in Haohmaru.

It'd be neat if with said tagging mechanic, you'd have the other team members stand in the background (like Pokémon Trainer does). When the active fighter is KO'd, he would move to the background and the next one would enter the fight.

I mean its possible it may just be a 2 person tag mechanic. might make it more simpler, but also add some interesting mecanics like you can tag mid combo and the person jumps in with an attack so you can countinue the combo. Terry and Mai, Terry and Kyo, Terry and Nakoruru. or Terry and Athena seems the most likely choices.

Plus, this differese the team from Pokemon trainer as well, with the tag mechanic being a core of the gameplay like in normal Tag games, and with it being just 2 it makes it a lot less com plicated to get the partner you want.

The ride never ends

 

[Curious Villager]

More DLC confirmed, Layton and Phoenix bros rise up!

I'm very happy to hear this news!

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

I'm so glad we are getting more characters, but It drives me crazy that we don't know how many!

 

[3BitSaurus]

BANJO TODAY

TERRY AND SNK IN SMASH

MORE DLC

I POSTED THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT I DON'T GIVE A ****

I WILL NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Terry! TERRY BABY! YOU LOOK ****ING FINE AS HELL!!!

No Hayabusa? I ain't even mad.

 

[Vycoul]

I had made peace with the fact Terry was getting in over his infinitely more interesting rivals from KoF (Nakoruru being chief among them)... until that reveal trailer. lol

It's a shame fighting game protagonists are almost always so dull. SF, KoF... hell even new series like ARMS. I get the reasoning is marketing, but when these series get their turn in Smash, it always results in the most bland characters getting the spotlight instead of the more unique characters, some of whom seriously upstage the main character. (ARMs for example)

I have a lot of respect for KoF, and Terry himself contrary to this post's tone. It's just... damn there were so many more interesting choices from SNK.

Oh well, I'm ecstatic with Joker, Hero, and most importantly, Banjo & Kazooie.

 

[Mr.Boo]

We don't deserve Sakurai

 

[Deleted member]

Terry looks friggin tall. He's probably the same height as Captain Falcon.

November ain't too far off. We may have not gotten 2 reveals (even though technically we did get Sans and Goemon lol), but the confirmation that there'll be more DLC characters coming is going to stop everyone getting salty over who gets in now right?

...right?

 

[3BitSaurus]

We don't deserve Sakurai

And Sakurai deserves a year-long vacation.

Lucky for you, at least you have characters in the fighter pass you actually like. I have no one.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

WAVE 2 CONFIRMED

NOW IM ALMOST CERTAIN ON RYU HAYABUSA AND DOOMGUY AND CRASH BANDICOOT!

 

[zferolie]

That trailer for terry was funny, especially how geese died.

He looks cool, he still has his engrish which is nice.

Shadow drop banjo was a huge surprise. And I was totally expecting more smash characters. Knew it was gonna happen. His wording also makes it sound like more new series will become playable, and he is going all out it seems haha.

With Sans getting a Mii costume, now we just need am Indie fighter, and I really, REALLY think thats going to be Shantae.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Lucky for you, at least you have characters in the fighter pass you actually like. I have no one.

Hey there is still character #5 and potentially even more afterwards with the character beyond the first pass!

 

[Untouch]

Terry looks sick, trailer went as I predicted too.
Feeling extremely confident in DOOMguy now.

 

[KillerCage]

Who's ready play Smash Bros with Megalovania in the background!?

I AM!

I'm so excited!

 

[andree123]

Reminder....
To get the first 8 DLC fighters in the WOL, you have to awaken 80 fighters.
The rest has to be unlocked in a different way.

EDIT: This is a prediction, I forgot to put that in.
EDIT 2: I think I made a mistake on the amount of the first DLC fighters and awaken fighters.

 

[Himiko]

Yeah yeah, my hype is just killed and my salt levels are high. I'm not very optimistic right now. I was never really an optimist anyway.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

My boi Goemon is a Mii costume and I'm so happy right now guys. You can't believe what I'm feeling right now.

 

[Mr.Boo]

Also, that demonstration was heartwarming. Hearing the laughter and Sakurai truly enjoying what he does. I love Nintendo.

 

[Leotsune]

That was absolutely wild.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Reminder....
To get the first 7 DLC fighters in the WOL, you have to awaken 70 fighters.
The rest has to be unlocked in a different way.

....oh

are you implying

...new area???

YES PLEASE

 

[Nquoid]

I'm assuming when fighter #5 drops they'll detail how many more characters we get. But for now let's not make any assumptions about how many extra fighters there will be.

But almost all of speculation is back on the table! And with no work on extra modes...

 

[yeet123]

Terry Bogard

 

[Vycoul]

Lucky for you, at least you have characters in the fighter pass you actually like. I have no one.

That's rough, sorry to hear it. The past two Smash games have been more than amazing for me. Ultimate in particular. (Banjo & Kazooie are my most wanted of all time, and K. Rool was #2)

Luckily, more characters past the final Fighter's Pass one are on the way. Who are you hoping to see?

 

[FrederickCrescent]

heh

don't worry boys

 

[blackghost]

just gonna say it dante is officially on the switch now.
also i was watching maximillain's stream and he was talking about how much sakurai loves these old fighting games. he used to play sf 2 and vf2 in arcades all the time.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Terry Bogard

Spoiler: Media

I actually really like his look. Never noticed how long his ponytail was though.

EDIT: Sigh. They haven't updated the site so we still can't look at Banjo & Kazooie.
EDIT EDIT: Now the did! Yay!

 

[Just a random scrub]

Total ****ing W for Smash fans. Holy ****..... Waluigi, Geno, Shadow and everybody else has a chance now.

So beautiful.....

 

[TheCJBrine]

Steve still has a shot for pass 2, as well as Geno, Porky, and maybe assist trophy characters.

Let's-a go. Banjo, Kazooie, and Sans can hold me over 'til then.

 

[Llort A. Ton]

That Terry trailer was brutal lmao. Every SNK character just got **** on. Like 10 characters got Chrom'd. He seems like hell be fun.

SANS

 

[Hidan]

Sakurai made it sound like future dlc would only be from new unrepresented series. Maybe it was just odd word choice but that makes future predictions a bit easier (and vaster at the same time).

I made a post this morning about wanting an Undertale rep for their music, this is the best compromise I could think of. Amazing.
