Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

[Cyberfire]

Brawl had that if you were playing on a Wiimote. It was great.

Unless your Sonic in which case all you get is the ring sound effect

My favourite has always been Austin Powers.

So, the MvC discussion from a couple of days ago had me thinking.

How would you all feel about character endings for Classic Mode?

And I don't mean the gameplay clip shows that you'd get in games prior to Ultimate. I mean actually unique, fully animated endings like you see in other fighting games.

It'd probably be a lot of work if it's a bigger roster, but I think it'd add some nice personality to a mode that just... kinda ends on an abrupt note as it currently stands.

I hope next game's classic mode has original artwork for the congratulations screens instead of in-engien screenshots. Could allow them to do some more funny things.

I think it would be awesome but likely way too much work to be worth it for such a large cast. I’d happily settle for still comic style images with voiced dialogue for the characters that actually talk.

I think this would only really work if there were a significant cutback on how many characters were playable - maybe 40 or so at most - and even then, I'd probably second Gengar's point. Though, given there's a lot of characters who don't talk, maybe it'd be neat to universally limit things to "grunts" or whatever, loosely akin to how Subspace handled things. You can still get a decent idea of how characters would act without any dialogue!

You're making it real easy to be wrong lol

And yet...somehow...I won't be...

The River City games fall into that odd category where I deeply respect them, but they never really clicked with me the same way Streets of Rage or even Final Fight did.

I freaking loved RCR all the way back on the NES. It was just so much deeper, mechanically, than even those later 16-bit beat-em-ups.

I know it'll probably never happen, but I still think Haggar would be pretty cool, especially so I can hear music from the Final Fight series and other Capcom beat 'em ups.

I'd love to see Haggar. But I'm worried Incineroar stole all his gimmicks.

The fact that there's an area in Street fighter 6 called the Mike Haggar memorial implies he died sometime after 5.

He's not. It's just memorializing what a good mayor he was.

Actually, "Everone Is Here Forever" has a merrit to it you know... the ground work of all these characters has already been done for Ultimate.

Unless a next engine is gonna be drastically different, and the Switch 2 is gonna be that much more powerful than the current one (which it kinda isn't), porting these assets over wouldn't prove too difficult. At least I think. Ultimate clearly also was build off from Smash 4 Wii U.

I don't think it'll happen for the base roster, but with DLC? Quite likely. Unless they cannot get the rights of certain third parties.

It's all speculation however. Just like everything else. I don't know **** of these specifics. But "Everyone Is Here Again" seems like a solid marketing campaign for a next DLC Fighter Pass for this next Smash. Kind of the opposite approach Ultimate took.

I really want you to be correct on the “Everyone is Here Forever” thing but I think that’s probably unsustainable in the long run. Even if we do get everyone back in Smash 6, at some point the roster is going to become so large that it’s not really possible to bring them all back every time. I think I’ve mostly made peace with the probability that we won’t see literally every character come back. My biggest hope now is that we still keep a large roster despite those cuts. I think I’d be okay with 15-20 cuts if we got a comparable amount of newcomers in their place. Of course, that largely depends on who is cut and who is added. If I like the end roster at least as much as I like Ultimate’s, I’ll be happy. It’s going to be really tough to top Ultimate’s newcomers for me though. It’s actually fully possible I end up liking the roster more than Ultimate’s if I keep my favorites and replace characters I care less about with others I really like.
