Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

[Ivander]

Really hoping that Capcom's attempts to make more games for more dormant IPs eventually lead up to a new Vs. Capcom game...because their card game Teppen, a game hardly any people pay attention to, keeps adding characters I want to see in a Vs. Capcom game.

Man, I really wish I could play these characters with a gameplay-style I have alot of fun with. Not that Teppen is a bad game, I do have fun with it when the matches feel even and balanced, but the gameplay does not keep my attention compared to Smash Bros. and MvC gameplay.

As far as old Capcom IP's, while I doubt it would have many Smash implications (though an assist trophy would be cool), getting a Bionic Commando Collection for modern platforms would be nice. The arcade/NES/Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Rearmed/Remarmed 2 in one package with maybe the 2009 game as an optional purchase? There's some value there.

I'm really curious if Capcom is able to re-release the Gameboy Color game. Elite Commandos I think it was? But that one was actually made by Nintendo, specifically by Nintendo Software Technology, aka the people who made Mario vs Donkey Kong, the Gamecube Wave Race and 1080 games, Metroid Prime Hunters and recently, F-Zero 99 and the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake.
So I don't know if the GBC Bionic Commando game can be part of a Bionic Commando collection. Maybe if the Collection was Switch exclusive, but on other systems, I don't know.

It was not only developed by a Nintendo studio, but published by Nintendo themselves, and the back of the box says the characters in the game are copyrighted by Nintendo. All Capcom did was just give them a license to make a Bionic Commando game.

Skull Kid is in a similar situation to Midna in theory, but I think he has much more fan demand and is more well known as a character,
which bumps up his chances to somewhat likely.

This part doesn't seem to be true. In my poll Skull Kid and Midna were only twenty votes apart.

 

[ScrubReborn]

So, which one of those three has the best shot? And which ones would you be okay with seeing?

TBH I don't think either is particularly likely; I'd prolly give to Impa though, because at least she could easily be made a clone. I think we'll see a Zelda newcomer sooner rather than later, but it's prolly gonna be someone from the Wild Saga I'd guess, that'd be easier than deciding between those three. If anything I could see one of these happening in Smash 7 or something.

As for who I want? Midna, imps please my brainwaves.

I just want Capcom vs. Capcom so bad.

But thanks to the huge success of the MvC collection, I know we're just going to get another goddamn MvC game.

Wouldn't be a huge loss. The GBC game was basically a remake of the NES game.

I haven’t played the Battle Network games yet but I love Bass.EXE’s design. He’d be a cool third Mega Man option for Smash one day after we get Zero. That way, we’d be representing the classic games with Mega Man, the X and Zero series with Zero, and the Battle Network games with Bass. EXE.

The Sonic 3 movie is currently tied with Werewolves Within as the best rated video game movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes. It's also tracking to do better than Mufasa on the box office.

Shadow is going to be playable in the next Smash, isn't he?

That’s impressive. I already thought Shadow had a lot going for him. If Smash started development a couple years ago, it’s probably too late for the success of the movie to impact his chances but it could help with DLC. He’s my top prediction for most likely third party character right now.

It could help with DLC, but from what we've seen so far that depends on whether or not he's an Assist Trophy again in the base game or not.

If he is, he's not likely to get in either way unless he's our first example of an Assist Trophy making the upgrade during DLC, which is theoretically possible, but it hasn't happened yet so we don't know for sure.

If he's not an Assist Trophy though? I'd definitely hop on the Shadow train at least a little, since he's been an AT in all three games that have them so far lol
