Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

[Þe 1 → Way]

I honestly never even thought of how likely it is that we see whatever Sakurai's project is in April. From what other users were discussing about Studio S and the way Ultimate's developers were shifted onto Tekken 8, I don't think it will be Smash, but here's to hoping we finally get a new kid Icarus!

That aside, it'd be funny if they announce Smash before it's actually in development again, but I'm not getting my hopes up for at least another six months I think.

-No unlockable characters, which ties into-

I feel like the opposite will happen where unlockable characters will be like in older titles like Melee and Brawl where they would have unique methods. Not like how it was in Ultimate where there were too many unlockable characters and they didn't have a unique method.

Maybe 20-25 since Brawl had 14 unlockable characters.

WoL wasn't unique?

I also hope the next Mario Kart game has unlockable characters. Unlocking characters in any game is super fun and gives a satisfying goal to work towards. I love how much **** Smash Bros has to work towards and the "Challenger Approaching" screen is just plain iconic

Street Fighter, Tekken and Guilty Gear are traditional fighting games, Super Smash Bros. isn't.

How are they gonna add in-depth tutorials in a platform-fighter?

character specific board the platforms and target test was literally designed around this idea.

Unlockable characters are cool, but I think it's also be neat to have some secret characters too. Akuma jumping out after a 9.9 classic mode or something would be hype, and it would generally be nice to leave some surprises in the base game, since I we haven't had anything of that nature since 4.
