Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[SeasideKingDumb]

I'm pleased with Sephiroth he looks amazing and the visuals are incredible. The extra Fight Sephiroth mode is so cool too. I'm not a Final Fantasy fan by any means but they went all out on this Fighter Pass.

 

[AreJay25]

Just checked and... yeah, Cloud's fighter spirits are the same lmao. At least he's not alone anymore.

 

[MooMew64]

I'm gonna eat dinner and then unlock Sephiroth. What's great about it being tonight is I have family who are free to play and they're both FFVII fans, so this is gonna be a pretty rad night.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Beat Sephiroth and got him, his stage, and music, but the DLC spirit boards still end at Minecraft. What's up with that? How were some people able to access FFVII's spirit board?

I think they were images from a press kit.

 

[XorahnGaia]

You know other than Cacomallow the Mii Costume guy list is also officially dead. He's confirmed to be the new Loz18.

 

[PacificFun]

 

[Kokiden]

I got him!! I have the man himself!!

Same. He's great for edge guarding. His recover is pretty good too.

 

[BlondeLombax]

Fiddled around with him a bit, and here’s my verdict;

 

[Kokiden]

How does his wing work exactly?

 

[waddledeeonredyoshi]

Nice that Sephiroth has remedied the FF7 representation. I have to begin my playthrough of tht game asap.

I'm not gonna pretend to feel sad about Geno, was never on that train personlly, but I might've just witnessed the biggest L a supportbase took in Smash history. The preMiium costume was supposed to be the compromise and they couldn't even get that. Can't imagine being them right now.

Atleast Hollow Knight lives another day in my case.

 

[Hinata]

Sephiroth has three victory poses that are all set against the burning Nibelheim background.

The first one is the one we saw in the presentation, the second one has him slashing the Masamune and posing with his black wing, and the third is this shot from the trailer.

 

[Faso115]

GENO SANS.

I repeat, GENO SANS.

I like how everytime there is a new mii costume the first thing people do is make a sans mii out of it.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Rest In Peace, Geno. See you in the stars.

 

[PacificFun]

Hmm, he's certainly not my cup of tea after some labing.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

How does his wing work exactly?

It's a mixture between Lucario's aura and Arsene.

 

[Ben Holt]

Rest In Peace, Geno. See you in the stars.

If you only count LEGAL votes, Geno won.
It was rigged in Georgia.

 

[ALongWistfulSquiggle]

Very Hard Sephiroth just dash-danced on me. I feel so disrespected.

All is as it should be.

 

[Kokiden]

It's a mixture between Lucario's aura and Arsene.

I have zero idea how Lucario works. I am familiar with Arsene though.

Could you explain the Lucario part?

 

[I.D.]

Please let this character challenge thing be something for every new character, it's so much better than anticlimactically getting the "X JOINS THE ROSTER" simply for turning on the console

 

[Faso115]

I have zero idea how Lucario works. I am familiar with Arsene though.

Could you explain the Lucario part?

Lucario gets stronger and hits harder the more percent he has.

 

[BlondeLombax]

He doesn’t even get the standard victory music; it’s just hellfire as far as the eye can see.

So. Cool.

 

[PacificFun]

I have zero idea how Lucario works. I am familiar with Arsene though.

Could you explain the Lucario part?

The more damage he has, the stronger he gets.

 

[Polan]

aerith's theme tho

 

[Flik]

Sephiroth's wing seems to work like how I'd make Kazuya's devil form: auto activates after like 90% damage and makes him better at recovering, except he doesn't shoot laser.

 

[SharkLord]

• bruh why is the livestream age restricted
• Miis right at the beginning? Guess they just wanted to get it over with.
• Big Genoof. Big, big, BIG Genoof. No song, no upgrade, not even a passing acknowledgement. That's gotta sting.
• That's an interesting OWA gimmick. It's pretty interesting; Instead of a copy-paste of the original game's mechanics with some streamlining, it's a unique little tidbit that doesn't overturn the entire game. It's kinda nice after the two game-changers of Steve and Min Min.
• Sakurai you madlad what is that range
• Sakurai why were you going over the frame data now
• Oh phew, he doesn't have a giant buzzsaw neutral aerial. We can rest easy.
• OH GOD THAT EDGEGUARDING IS DISGUSTING
• The Megaflare/Gigaflare combos scare me
• Scintilla looks pretty cool. Glad to see the few counters that have been implemented in this game try to be unique instead of just being "no u."
• With every passing DLC it feels like the line between alt and Echo Fighter is blurred further and further
• Oh hey an actual music selection. Noice.
• Sakurai just straight-up spoiled the climax of FF7 didn't he
• I'd have preferred a full-fledged boss rush mode, but I'll take it.
• H E L L S G A T E
• Has Sakurai always laughed this much? It feels like he's laughing a bit more than usual.
• Sephiroth Challenge. Hope it'll be popular enough to stick around after Sephiroth releases.
• He's got the fire victory screen boys

All in all, I'm pretty excited.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I got 2 pending transactions on my bank account from buying christmas gifts so I have no choice but wait a few days befor buying Seph lol

 

[Deleted member]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I BEAT VERY HARD SEPHIROTH WITH STEVE.

He was at very high health.

He was off-stage, and I drop an anvil at him. He just dies. I beat him at 14 seconds.

 

[Speed Weed]

The Chocobo spirit better have the ability to enhance into Fat Chocobo or I will RIOT

Damn, I was a 1 / 10 second slower on my second Very Hard run (having unlocked him via Normal first):

But then again, I cheesed him and got the Climbhazzard off stage spike on him.

It's the perfect way to end Sephiroth's life IMHO.

Sephiroth's wing seems to work like how I'd make Kazuya's devil form: auto activates after like 90% damage and makes him better at recovering, except he doesn't shoot laser.

I do think it's a smart idea to make the Wing activate later if Sephiroth's a stock or two ahead, and earlier when behind. Hopefully Joker gets similar treatment so it isn't as prone to snowballing.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Hey so

Lloyd wasn’t in Sephiroth’s pack

the 5ch leak said no Smash 4 costumes would be promoted to playable and Geno got Genoof’d again

AW YEAH. KOS-MOS FP9 TIME, *****.

And yes I did just bring Neku back into my predictions. After all Sephiroth spared him from the Mii massacre and 2B too. No Spirits or music either

Neku is E T E R N A L and I will die on this hill

 

[Ben Holt]

Been playing a few games as and against Sephiroth.
And I'm glad he's largely gimmickless.
Don't get me wrong, I love Min Min and Steve's unique gimmicky playstyles, but I'm glad we get normies like Banjo and Sephiroth too.

 

[Faso115]

Imagine the speculation scene if one leaker said they have some info on a fighter that has "Hell Gate" as an attack. I wonder who would have been the character speculated about

 

[Mushroomguy12]

It really be a soul for a soul here.

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Yo the way announcer says Sephiroth so damn meaty

 

[Guynamednelson]

****ing hell

I got the Wooper spirit as one of my rewards for beating Sephiroth's classic mode

The memes...

 

[ZeldaPlayer87]

Ok so, the FF DLC spirit board isn’t showing up for me. Is it showing up for anyone else? I’ve already unlocked Sephiroth.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Wait, are you talking about the 5chan leak that also had Reimu?

Does this mean we're getting U.N. Owen was Her and/or Bad Apple?

UH OH, WOOPER WATCH

 

[TheBeastHimself]

I am pretty sad Geno didn't get in, he was one of my top choices, but it's no big deal. I'm thrilled to see how happy Sephiroth has made everyone, he looks so sick. I'm gonna unlock him later tonight.

Geno, you may get your chance another day, or never. Sit in the corner with Mother 3.
