I've thought of some title names for Super Smash Bros. 6 although none of them seem "okay" to me:

Super Smash Bros. Apocalypse
Super Smash Bros. Destruction
Super Smash Bros. Combination
Super Smash Bros. Fusion
Super Smash Bros. Prophecy

I’ll admit my bias is probably clouding my vision but here’s my line of thinking: Right now, Jinx is in a really similar spot to Joker pre-Ultimate. Both characters were breakout pop culture favorites whose direct connection to Nintendo only existed through smaller spinoff titles. Jinx also has a very similar rebellious energy to Joker and seems like the type of character Sakurai would gravitate towards. Arcane came out in 2021, which is the same year of Sakurai’s project plan for his current unannounced project. I could see her fill a similar spot to Joker as the first huge surprise DLC character. Arcane season 2 has kept her relevant today too.
I think a LoL rep begin a surprise character for the DLC is pausible, specially as a pass opener like Joker. It would atract many Arcane and LoL fans to Smash or at least be intrigued by it.

Yep, we could see it right before we get to the part showcasing whatever kind of meter or comeback mechanic (or both) that he'll have :4pacman:
What I mean is, it could be presented like Terry's reveal trailer where Geese tries to catch the invitation, fails and falls to his death. But this time, he actually catches it and laughs as he falls.

There's a part of me that wants Geese and Akuma to show up in the next game

Not just because it'd be cool, but because it'd be pretty damn hilarious if they were guests that became absolute menaces in yet another Bandai Namco developed fighting game
For akuma, I think everyone wants to see this for his final smash.....

That's for the beach volleyball spin-off.
That is somehow a much better and more fun game than it has any right to be.

Nintendo Waifus, Beach Parties and being a Nintendo-made game that has alot more chance of being a very fun and replayable game like Mario Kart, Mario Party and whatnot. The deadliest combination.

Would it be interpreted differently based on which player is hit by it?
Actually, that's not a bad idea.

It could be different depending on which character he uses it on. For example, his most brutal version of Rashomon could be used on Terry or other traditional fighting game characters.

I saw someone mention a Capture the Flag mode, where it's 4v4 and the only item is the S Flag. That could be a fun side mode.

Oh, and there could also be a multiplayer version of Race to the Finish, where you could choose different courses and run and jump through them for at least 3 laps. …So basically just a general racing mode.
