Source Gaming posted a video discussing who Fighters' Pass 5 could be.


Clearly they didn't hear about Vergeben's comments since they considered Doom Slayer a likely candidate for DLC 5.

Finally The Quiet Man is getting some recognition. Lara who? Geno what? He is truly the Square Enix rep we all deserve.

Booooooo no more fighting characters as DLC.

Its so boring!

Character additions in Smash are so extraordinary because its fun to see characters from other genres of gaming adapted into a fighting format.

Wheres the fun in copying/pasting a fighting character in to Smash? I dont get it.

It's not "copy/pasting" at all. Learn how video games are actually made.

As someone who plays fighting games, SF and KOF/FF don't play the same as Smash at all and it's fun to see how they adapt the moves and techniques from those games into Smash. No, we don't know "exactly what we're getting", same as any other character reveal. No one would have guessed that they were going to implement a new mechanic like a stage barrier to the sides of the KOF stage.

The only issue I have with Heihachi is that he's a bit dull for Smash since Tekken is more grounded in "realistic" martial arts than SF or KOF, so they don't have things like screen-filling plasma beams and tornado kicks and flashy super attacks. I know Heihachi has electric wind god fist and hellsweeps, but still, his moveset potential doesn't seem as fun as these other characters.

I gonna need some specification as to the importance and or relevance to Also Spach Zarathustra in Xenosaga since it's probably the Monolithsoft Saga I'm least familiar with.

Good thing we didn't know that one before hand. Geno would never leave the conversation.

like i said earlier; i just dont get it. I dont see how theyre exciting additions when you know exactly what youre getting.

Think about how excited you were when Banjo & Kazooie were revealed. There. You did it.

i.e. The addition of a character you like is going to excite you.

Imagine calling the most unique and fun Fighter in the entire Pass boring because he's from another fighting game.

This ain't it cheif. Copying and pasting is NOT what was done and the technical minutiae of what went into this character being undermined like that is a bit ignorant, no offense.

I know that, that's not what I'm getting at. I'm saying where does this copyright come from and in what way is it being presented? Need details, not just that it's the title.

I'm working on a little thing here. Hope to show some diagrams and stuff for how I think he could work.

From what I know the trademark for Xenosaga 3 had been updated back in April 2018, at least in the US. People were guessing that that meant a Xenosaga HD collection may be in development; but nothing really came of it.

It may be an unrevealed Xenosaga HD collection, it may be KOS-MOS in Smash, it may even be both. But its probably nothing.

I remember the trademarks being renewed semi-recently. People thought it migt have been for a HD Xenosaga trilogy but so far, nothing has come form it.

Could be that.

Then it likely won't be anything regarding Smash. The most it would inquire is that there's a possibility that Xenosaga 3 has some sort of DLC. As weird as that ****ing sounds.

Otherwise the wording could infer that it will be a downloadable title which, I mean, all games are nowadays.

There are still many fighting games that would be interesting to see adapted to Smash, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Killer Instict, And they wouldn't be boring at all or "copy and paste"
