I'll be really shocked if any of these 5 characters are not new franchises or third parties.I had some last minute issues with my reaction video (which also went way into the Treehouse stream because we started discussing what was shown and predictions for DLC), but I should still be able to get it up in a presentable state.
One thing I wanna say though.
They told me I was crazy for wanting Nia over Rex, but we live in a world where Nia and Mórag are the only possible reps from the main party of Xenoblade 2.
Gratification is sweet. I legit am excited that Nia has a real chance now.
What new franchises though?I'll be really shocked if any of these 5 characters are not new franchises or third parties.
Where's the source?Verge says the SE character is DLC and Minecraft content is still a thing, launch or not.
Well, let's see what happens.Verge says the SE character is DLC and Minecraft content is still a thing, launch or not.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77156504?jumpto=20#20Where's the source?
Also how many DLC packs are being worked on? I recall 5 being mentioned somewhere.
What I'm saying is that I wouldn't be shocked for most of the DLC to be third party dominated.What new franchises though?
Unless they use another ARMS character, that's out of the running.
They just deconfirmed a ton of characters like Isaac, and a bunch of commonly requested characters.
My prediction is a Xenoblade character, a Fire Emblem character, at least two new third parties, and another third party from an existing franchise (probably Sonic).
we lost Shadow and Knuckles...and unless Tails, Amy, and Silver aren’t deconfirmed thanks to Spirits...who else could join besides Eggman?What new franchises though?

Spirits don't deconfirm characters.So we get Piranha Plant in Smash...and people thought Mario wouldn’t have any new character possibilities after Geno and Waluig...bring me my Goomba/Koopa combo

Thanks.
If it were a new series, I honestly believe Advance Wars has a chance for what I said above.What I'm saying is that I wouldn't be shocked for most of the DLC to be third party dominated.
But if an existing 1st party franchise were to get characters then, yeah, I'd expect Xenoblade or FE to get their due.
Me to. And for reasons other than most people.I.... basically need time to process this.
Let's just say I'm not too thrilled about the deconfirmations today...
I feel bad for Shulk he watched everyone get eviscerated before it happened and still couldn't stop it.Well I'm back from processing my feelings on the Smash Direct.
As usual, the best cure for a poorly paced Direct is watching everyone else on the internet react to it and realizing I want to punch most of the fandom in the face with far more intensity than I could possibly be disappointed in the contents.
Main things I want to know is what the hell is going on with that single player mode and oh gosh please tell me Sakurai's pointed middle finger to the people who think they know what rules apply to the world isn't one of the five DLC characters.
Speaking of the single player trailer that's more dialog than every other Smash cutscene combined YO. And I feel bad for the Inklings they made the smart call in that situation and it wasn't enough LOL
And name yo Spirits. I'm not sold on the mode but that doesn't mean we aren't calling dibs on stock art because that's definitely what we're doing
I saw Mumkhar and Thanatos in there attention deprived villain time gun b wild
Can't wait to see all the remashes of this on YouTube.Hey, the complete song of spirits mode has been uploaded, it's called Lifelight. It's pretty good.
Yeah... Unless we see Morag and Nia are Spirits too when we get the game, but hey fingers crossed.I had some last minute issues with my reaction video (which also went way into the Treehouse stream because we started discussing what was shown and predictions for DLC), but I should still be able to get it up in a presentable state.

Well, there's no confirmation of only being the 5 so far. For all we know, they could go the Tekken route with multiple characters. But right now, it just seems safe to assume the 5 only so far, but we'll see what happens.Thanks.
I'm of mind to believe pretty much anything Vergie says after today. And I see Minecraft and a SE character as locks for DLC.
Some insider mentioned Lloyd possibly being DLC but I forgot who. And then you have the promotional DLC for FE Three Houses coming in the spring most likely so that's 4.
I'd like to believe that maybe the fifth one could be Andy. I know everyone is going to laugh at me for saying that but with Infantry & Tanks being cut, I have a straw graspy theory of him possibly being added in post-release that incorporates the Infantry & Tanks in to his moveset. And there was some Advance Wars content shown off in the Spirits mode so it hasn't all been cut out. Basically, I want to believe I guess.
Yeah... Unless we see Morag and Nia are Spirits too when we get the game, but hey fingers crossed.
The worse case scenario is really this... All XC2 we get are just Rex Mii costume and Spirits... I really hope this isn't the case.
Spirits/Stickers don't deconfirm characters. We have King K Rool and Male Wii Fit Trainer in as Spirits and we all know they are playable.we lost Shadow and Knuckles...and unless Tails, Amy, and Silver aren’t deconfirmed thanks to Spirits...who else could join besides Eggman?

Oh man, that too LOL. Poor guy didn't even have time to react.I feel bad for Shulk he watched everyone get eviscerated before it happened and still couldn't stop it.
This is one of the few if only times I'll say that Sakurai bias was real.Also one quick thing.
As someone who was really looking for an Adventure Mode, I am mixed on what they showed.
On one hand, WE GOT AN ADVENTURE MODE, that's already something. And I do like various things, like how it has RPG progression, right down to the Final Fantasy X skill tree. The map is beautiful and I like how Spirits have a use in it, like Lapras using Surf. Boss Battles should be cool. Oh, and the vocal theme is awesome.
On the other hand, I am disappointed by how there doesn't seem to be any platforming stages. It's gonna be too much like Spirits Mode.
And while I admit that the image of Kirby staring into the distant, detailed backdrop was kinda hilarious....it's really stupid how he's the only starting character. Not that I dislike Kirby, he was my main in Smash 64 even. But it just screams of both laziness and, yeah, I'll say it, Sakurai bias. Not only is the fandom gonna wave this around in those silly "power level" discussions, but it's just a disservice to some of the other characters like Sonic, Bayonetta, and Rosalina, who should have easily been able to escape. It also limits potential, instead of having squads of characters who interact, you're gonna save characters, they'll say thank you, and you'll never hear from them again and there will be no more interaction beyond the ending.
It also would have made way more sense from a gameplay standpoint, and would have been unbiased, if you could choose your own starting character, so your favourite character can be the star of the show. Maybe you can and the trailer was just for example purposes, but I doubt they'd animate the scene with Kirby at the end if that was the case.
I am interested in the mode but it's definitely not what I hoped for.
And here I was thinking Custom Robo was RIP but then this Direct happened. Looks like it's not so dead after all.Well, there's no confirmation of only being the 5 so far. For all we know, they could go the Tekken route with multiple characters. But right now, it just seems safe to assume the 5 only so far, but we'll see what happens.
And yeah, I get how you feel with content of your favorite series. I mean, I was disappointed that there was no Custom Robo content(besides a trophy if there was one) in Smash 4, so I was ecstatic when I saw the RayMKIII Gunner outfit.
That said, I'm rooting for you and other fans to have your chance someday.
Hopefully that's because they're being grouped with Elma and a Xenoblade Chronicles X stage as part of the season pass.-3 ****ing XC2 tracks and no XCX ones god are you kidding me
I think Sakurai would've agreed with you. I mean, those were his thoughts after the one Direct with Simon, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus and King K. Rool, which is the one where everybody practically raised their expectations.The game is still great, I just think content between the directs could have been paced better.
At least it’s not as dumb as Samus trying to SHOOT the incoming giant lasers.Now I'm just replaying the clip of Pit and Dark Pit starting to fall out of the sky over and over again and each time I watch it my heart sinks a little lower.
Looking even closer Palutena was trying to shield THEM, not herself.
We. . .we don't deserve these selfless snarkypoos, I think I'm starting to fog up the bit. The best cinnamon rolls die not for themselves but for the sake of other cinnamon rolls.
