Rex and Spring Man are definite frontrunners for DLC. I hope Mythra is somehow incorporated with Rex and Pyra.

The DLC will be pretty disappointing then. I hope whoever else we get will make up for them.

Everyone thought Inkling would be dlc but that never happened and Splatoon is way bigger than Arms could ever hope to be.


I don’t know that I think Arms is lame and undeserving of playable representation? Huh?

Did they? I know a lot of people seemingly expected them(myself included) to be the front runner poster character for the next game like they wound up being.

It was an even better cash grab then dlc so it made a lot of sense. Although people still put ballot votes in to ensure this

 

[praline]

Hot take: Not only is Spring Man not getting on the base roster, he's not getting in as DLC, either. He's too recent for the base game, too old for promotional DLC.

And Arms didn’t sell well enough to warrant it anyways.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I totally agree that making Ribbon Girl is a huge red flag, especially how different they are in ARMS. If he said Springtron I'd be more merciful.

Springtron would've made perfect sense as an alt, honestly.

They're literally clones of each other in ARMS.

It's amazing how many people don't get this yet.

I know, right?

And the game sucked so much Nintendo gave up on adding major content before it was even half a year old :V

 

[Coricus]

Arms sold over a million copies, what the hell are you on about?

I agree with Vaan that he's too recent for the base game and too old for promotional DLC, but he sure as hell has more than enough merit for a hypothetical Smash game after this one.

 

[Ura]

Yeah I think there's a chance ARMS could get passed up. I just think they're among the more "likely" first-party characters along with Rex/Pyra. It's going to need a sequel to have a strong chance of being in the game.

Yes, being only a year old has a big impact on their chances for a base game slot. But EVO is only a few days away to see if this is real or fake.

It's 99.9999999999% BS dude.

The project plan was done in Dec 2015 and the game's roster had to been finalized around mid to mid-late 2016. Sakurai only makes exceptions to really popular third party character (Sonic in Brawl) or Pokemon characters.

It's not "Splatoon 2" successful, therefore it's considered a failure for some reason...

Not really, because ARMS really doesn't have a true main character.

In a future Smash game, or even this one's DLC for that matter. they'll probably pick one of the more popular ARMS characters to represent the franchise, and Spring Man ain't one of them, iirc.

Basically, Spring Man went from likely to practically never gonna happen the second it was said Ultimate was worked on since late 2015.

Our ARMS rep could easily be Twintelle or Min Min instead. Heck, even Dr. Coyle has more merit despite being the last character because she does something almost no character does; she brings lore.

 

[praline]

It’s pretty sad when people say Rex w/ Pyra and Spring Man are the front runners for dlc.

 

[Wario Bros.]

And Arms didn’t sell well enough to warrant it anyways.

As of March 31, 2018, it has sold 1.85 million units worldwide (could easily reach 2 million by now).

Pikmin 1 had less copies than that sold yet we have Olimar.

 

[Deleted member]

I just want Octopath representation now, doesn't even need to ne a character(but if so, make all eight playable), just give me some music, that's all I need to be satisfied. Smash 4 was sold to me when I heard Jergingha Planetary Destruction Form in the Mario Galaxy stage

 

[vaanrose]

Rex will be DLC because of Sakurai, no other reason. We'll get a Three Houses and a Gen 8 Pokemon as marketing synergy, as those are the two biggest games coming out in 2019 and the franchises are popular in Smash anyway. And then the other DLC will be third parties again, especially given that it's looking likely there's no new third parties on the base roster.

 

[Deleted member]

Have you ever felt like you are getting so stressed that you are going to break apart?
That is how I feel.

Again, it is not anyone's fault in here at all.

Oh I know about Rex. But his design is ****ing garbage and Pyra’s is surprisingly worse. Three Houses is cool cause it’ll probably be whatsername and atleast she uses an axe.

Hell, half the franchises in Smash don't have a game that's ever sold more than that.

Some of them more depressingly than others.

 

[Ura]

ARMS is absolutely successful enough to be in Smash. It's a million seller for crying out loud and I don't even care for the series that much.

Compare that to more niche series that got in to Smash without being million sellers.

Yeah I gotta feeling that Elma will be base roster and Rex/Pyra will be DLC. So in a way, Xenoblade bias will be the new FE bias lol (until Three Houses come out and it comes back in full force lmao).

And also that would mean DLC is the opposite of Smash 4's where it was veterans and popular characters as DLC and relevancy characters as base roster. Smash Ultimate seems to be going the fanservice route for it's base roster.

But Verge told me Simon Belmont will be in and obviously he is the paragon of leaks.

If ARMS gets a character it will be Spring Man, 100%. He's the Ryu of the series, no matter how popular Dhalsim or Chun Li or Guile are.

Hmm, I feel like this is not true. Half is too big of a number. Probably only a few franchises instead of half.

 

[Knight Dude]

Wha- no! He’s cool, and a villain, which we need more of!

Nightmare's my boy, but he never threw his child off a cliff. Or has a pet bear. That's why Heihachi is the best villain.

The dopest choice would be Yoshimitsu, but I'm trying to remain slightly realistic.

 

[praline]

Jill Valentine would be pretty hype for dlc

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

But what about pretty boy, Leon?

 

[Opossum]

Honestly I see the DLC front runners as Spring Man, Rex and Pyra, Edelgard (unless Byleth proves more interesting than he seems, or else he's just a swordsman), potentially a Gen VIII Pokémon depending on timing, Crash if fans are vocal enough, and Waluigi.

I do not know, it feels weird to just pull an AT out of the game and put it as a fighter.
What I am saying is in the game itself, like making an update that removes Waluigi as an AT and makes him a fighter instead.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I like my works logic

"Get this thing done that's probably going to take you all day, and could get done any day BEFORE this thing you can only do today and need to do"

Makes sense

 

[praline]

I’d just prefer Jill.

**** I hope Sakurai doesn’t give in to the idiots and put ****ing Waluigi in Smash.

 

[Opossum]

Eh, what's the use?

 

[vaanrose]

This is something I don't agree with. Ryu is an outlier in the fighting game community in that he's a main character that's actually more popular than most of his supporting cast.

Spring Man is like Dimitri from Darkstalkers. Boring and eclipsed by his supporting cast, to the point where people think Morrigan is the main character of his franchise (which is basically true, now. But she wasn't originally. Not unlike Heihachi).

 

[praline]

As one of those "idiots," **** off.

You’re one of those trolls that are being **** heads to Sakurai cause Waluigi isn’t playable?

 

[Pokechu]

IDK, I never cared for Waluigi either, I think that he shouldn't get in even as DLC because there's many other Nintendo characters who should get in first. Waluigi isn't relevant to Mario aside from showing up to play Tennis so if we get any Mario characters it should definitely be Toad or Geno first. Waluigi in Smash would be a really poor choice imo, I've never seen the appeal of him.

If ARMS gets a character though it should be Helix. If you disagree then you're a criminal!!!!

 

[Opossum]

You’re one of those trolls that are being **** heads to Sakurai cause Waluigi isn’t playable?

No, but those people are so minuscule in number that they may as well not exist. It's nothing but a scapegoat that people who pretend to care about Sakurai use because they hate Waluigi. Hell, you've said time and again that you hate Waluigi. Don't pretend to be standing up for something righteous when you're just being petty and vindictive.

OH WAIT nonono

NOT Geno

[ChikoLad]

I know that Smash has historically had characters that are "too late" for the base roster, but honestly, I think we're gonna see more characters breaking into the base roster who maybe were created a little later. Main reasons for this are that Smash doesn't have a lot of big hitting first party characters left, and they apparently aren't having as many newcomers this time anyway.

What this may result in is serious newcomer development happening a little later than usual, therefore meaning there is more wiggle room for the likes of Spring Man and Rex, for example, to make the base roster. And since they are kind of lacking heavy hitting first parties anyway, the "if Nintendo/Sakurai really wants them in, they're in" rule applies.

It seems like the main focus of development was getting everything ported over from Smash Wii U/3DS, reworking content from the older games such as the cut vets (who are almost newcomers this time around in terms of dev time), and all of the new mechanical tweaks and lighting engine. For that reason, I believe they won't be settling for characters that have overly niche appeal. If they don't have as much time to make newcomers, then the ones they make have to count and have a wide reach.

The ballot will obviously help with this, but like, Spring Man is literally a rep for a new franchise that's still relevant, so it would make sense that he would be a heavy hitter, so Nintendo would make absolute sure he got in for launch if they really wanted him.

Just my two cents. I'm not too invested in the subject anyway since we're just gonna get Rex when I want Nia anyway. :V

Hell yeah Geno would be cool. He was considered for Brawl and then a mii costume in 4 so he could be playable now!

If I see Geno in Smash I'd be heartbroken :'^)))))))))
