Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

[cashregister9]

I like my username because all these years later people are still surprised when they figure out it's a pun.

...**** I just got it

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I can confirm with @Swamp Sensei I tried to rationalize Pico over F-Zero 99 while drunk once. :V

That sounds ****ing hilarious and just proves my point

 

[Perkilator]

I joked the boards nearly 7 years ago, back in the waning months of my junior year at high school. This was after Ultimate was teased in the March 2018 Mini-Direct, so I was pretty hyped for it.

The username “Perkilator” is derived from a nickname that my science teacher gave me back in middle school. And it’s a nickname that’s stuck with me since then, hence it’s my username on most websites.

I... What... HOW DID I NOT SEE IT? WHAT THE ****?!

I just got this too lol. I don’t know how I didn’t put that together until you pointed it out. It’s obvious when you point it out.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

I have had different user names in the past, all of which relate to Sonic, the first being SonicSmasher1. He is just my favorite character.

 

[GoldenYuiitusin]

You will always be Luig to me.

 

[NotGenerico]

Regarding the Ballot, I think Isaac did fairly well. His Assist Trophy came back after being absent on Smash 4 and Golden Sun got a lot of Spirits for a series with no playable characters. I think this bodes well for his chances and he might become playable in the next Smash.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

No joke, KingofPhantoms (as well as the 47 that it used to have) was a username I originally came up with for Minecraft.

This was one of the first Social Media sites and forums I joined, and I liked the username enough to carry it over to here. My opinions on Steve joining Smash changed a lot over the years (admittedly mostly because I found a good chunk of the playerbase toxic or immature back then), but in the end I was ecstatic when Steve, Alex and tons of Minecraft content got into Smash Ultimate lmao.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

You will always be Luig to me.

This shows how out of touch I've been in the past couple of years here because I didn't even realize this was Luig lmao

 

[GoldenYuiitusin]

Actually now I'm not sure anymore since there's another user with that name.

Though maybe Louie was all lowercase luig.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

My usernames are either punny or direct. Yes, I'm still thinking of a new one.

 

[Dukefire]

Dukefire was something I thought was cool with duke and fire together. It has been sticking with me since.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I forgot most of them but for some reason HyperFalcon stuck

 

[Louie G.]

I've always been Louie for as long as I've been active in the community, actually. Well, as far as any of you know.....

 

[GoldenYuiitusin]

Then I may be mixing you up with another Luigi-themed username.

But goes to show I recognized the pun much earlier than some people here :V

 

[ninjahmos]

I've been on SmashBoards since mid-to-late-2018, and I haven't even joined this thread until about a year or two ago, because admittedly, I was too shy to share my ideas and opinions here. As time went on, I've become somewhat more confident in talking about Smash and other games with you guys, and honestly, sometimes it's even more fun than Smash itself.

 

[GothicSlenderman]

We need more drunk takes tbh

I agree. It makes things more fun. Also I am dead serious when I say that I want Slender Man in Smash.

Also I hate but also love every single one of you. My views on the Smash community are the same as the games. A double edge sword.

 

[Gengar84]

Can you only change user names if you’re a premium member? I’ve never really tried. It would be weird to change it at this point anyways since I’ve had this user name for 16 years.

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

I've a nasty habit of reading my own username incorrectly and rereading the beginning of my posts thinking they're new. Phantom user 'be 1 --> Way' has been confusing me for years.

 

[Ivander]

Been here for 10 years and I'm pretty sure I've kept this name for all of them. It's just been my usual online name for accounts, custom characters and whatnot.

I can confirm with @Swamp Sensei I tried to rationalize Pico over F-Zero 99 while drunk once. :V

To be fair, it probably is easier for Pico to get in compared to F-Zero 99.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

It was my first and I had it for a long time. Makes sense.

 

[Dukefire]

It is all friendship here.

Until the invitation drops from the next smash reveal and ends in either:
1. Your favorite character gets in or was given a runner up prize midway. (Better to know results early rather than at the end.)
2. Sad that your character didn't make it at the end of the game's DLC cycle.

All in all, Smash Bros is meant to be a fun game for all ages to play.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Yes, it has always been a Premium exclusive feature (in the 10+ years I've been here, at least).

Though the admins aren't monsters so if you notice you misspelled your username when making your account, talking to one usually gets things done.

I’m not really expecting many of my favorites to have much a chance anyways. I’d say only a couple have a solid chance and even they’re 50/50 at best. Even if I don’t get anyone on my top 10 list, hopefully I can at least get a couple characters I can be excited about.

 

[ninjahmos]

Quick question:

If you get a Premium membership, do you get to choose your own custom titles?

Yes, that's also a thing with Premium.

I honestly kinda feel like my first speculation being Smash 4 set me up pretty well to handle disappointment about characters I like being long shots or just generally not happening for one reason or another lol

You just don't forget your most wanted character getting deconfirmed on Christmas morning lmao

That's the magic of Smash reveals. Bringing in characters known to an audience small or big and show their glory to the entire world.
Either something great

Or average that comes with controversy and complaints.

Not that I'm complaining, but that's one of the many reasons why the world is excited when a smash reveal is coming.

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I'm a latecomer but the name was admittedly for the amusement of being able to state that Smash theories and Smash arguments have, in fact, happened in before a LiveStudioAudience.

That's amazing lmao

Have you ever committed by sharing laugh tracks?

 

[LiveStudioAudience]

I'd probably save that for something I said that was absurd, ridiculous, and/or genuinely laughable...



...so basically, most of my predictions for Fighter's Pass characters.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Territorial Rotbart. Basically, a really high-level Red/Orange-furred Monkey-like monster that appears and wonders around in a map early in the games. I don't know about Xenoblade 3, but it appears in both Xenoblade 1 and 2 and in Xenoblade X, there is a similarly named monster named Hayreddin the Territorial that appears in Primodia, the first area you start in and surrounds the main hub, New Los Angeles.

Not only is there a Rotbart in Future Redeemed, they're named Bombastic Rotbart Jr. so they're presumably Territorial Rotbart's kid.

If you're gonna pick an iconic monster from Xenoblade, Rotbart is about the only way to go unless you're using like random Bunnits or Tirkins or something.

This, but there's also a Rotbart stand-in in the base game called Jingoistic Gigantus.

 

[AreJay25]

Oh we're doing username origins?

Well, mine has some insane lore behind it. You'll never believe the epic journey I went through in order to acquire this honorable alias.

... I just ****ing typed out the pronunciation of my initials and then slapped a random number on it. Yeah I wasn't exactly imaginative back then lmao.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

And by since, you mean "after" Shining Force 3? Cause in Japan, Shining Force 3 actually did finish it's story, although it did have a post-credits scene that never got followed up on.

The story that started in Holy Ark was never finished. Galm and Elise are just as mysterious as they were as their first appearance in Holy Ark.
There was likley more stories meant to be told in SF3 arc that discontinued after infightings with Sega. SF1 has a ton lore and story material (spin-offs, mainline, mangas, light novels, etc), SF3 didnt even come close to it. SoA horrible localization of Shining Force proabably didnt help in that regard.

 

[Noipoi]

My username origin is simple enough. At the time my favorite Pokemon were Noivern and Poipole. Thus, Noipoi.

If I made this account today I might be Noigapult or something

 

[SharkLord]

I like sharks.

That's it. That's the username.

Depending on the site I might tack 1954 on there because that's the year Godzilla debuted, but SharkLord wasn't taken on SmashBoards so this isn't one of those sites

 

[DarthEnderX]

I’m not sure Xenoblade really has any iconic monsters anyone who hasn’t played the games would recognize. The games are great but they don’t really have anything on the level of a Slime or Cactuar.

Well they ain't gonna become iconic monsters to anyone who hasn’t played the games if they don't show up outside the games.

Now, speaking of ATs... which characters do you think would be cool for the next game?

King Hippo [Punch-Out] (if not getting in as Fighter)
Eggplant Wizard [Kid Icarus]
Protoman [Mega Man]
Majima [Like a Dragon]
Pyramid Head [Silent Hill]
Cactuar or Tomberry [Final Fantasy]
Slimes/King Slime [Dragon Quest]
Rygar [Rygar]
Abobo [Double Dragon]
Vic Viper [Gradius]
Mike Jones [Star Tropics]
Sophia 3rd [Blaster Master]
Purple Tentacle[Maniac Mansion]

Have Sena as an Assist Trophy so we can have moments of a petite girl hitting people with a giant hammer in Smash.

Amy Rose: "Put me in, coach!"

 

[PeridotGX]

My username is incredibly basic. Peridot was my favorite Steven Universe character, GX cards were the big thing in the Pokemon TCG at the time, it's as simple as that. I have no intention of changing it though. It's my iconic brand.
