Official Smash for Switch 2 - Speculation & Discussion Thread

View attachment 402343Having a Final Fantasy character that utilizes a bunch of different jobs from the series would be really cool, but I think they should exist alongside Cloud.

Is it strange my take away was he was interested in job mechanics

Maybe Noah and Mio can use that mechanic since Xenoblade 3 has the class/job system? Swordfighter and Zephyr are the default for each and switch between the 2. What else to add? 2 more based on their party members for each side? Or have their weapons appear in certain attacks?

Coin toss between Lloyd or Yuri.

I can't see it any other way.

I think Cress Albane is probably like, Possible.

So, what do we think of the Tales of games getting a character?

And what about Lloyd in particular?

Lloyd or bust

(If we're getting someone from Namco, that's my choice)

If we were to get a new classic Namco arcade game as a stage, which one would you pick?

I think Mappy could be pretty fun.

Indifferent on both accounts.

Man I really wish Nintendo bought Rare.

I played through Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Kameo recently and they just feel SO Nintendo it hurts. Especially Grabbed by the Ghoulies which is ACTUALLY just a GameCube game ported to the Xbox. Those games are wildly creative.

we could’ve had a slew of Rare characters in Smash by now like Joanna Dark, Kameo, maybe even Conker but, well, we all know how that went

More likely than Klonoa or Heihachi, I'll say that

And I'd gladly take him, because he dual wields swords, and dual wielding anything is always cooler than single wielding

I find most Namco options more interesting than Lloyd or Tales of. Most of the major Tekken or Soul Calibur characters, someone from Dark Souls, Taizo Hori, Agumon/Greymon, the Prince from Katamari, Don-Chan, Mametchi, Rick Taylor, Klonoa, even the Galaga ship or the Pac-Man ghosts…are they as likely? Variable, I guess, Lloyd probably crops up more than apt of them, but Lloyd and his series are something I have never been aware of before Smash Flash/post-Brawl speculation, and nothing has really sold me on why he should move past being a Mii Swordfighter. I feel bad for being this negative, though.

A Taiko stage, like the kind of over the top japanese asthetics you see in those games.

How would you feel about an SRW rep? Since that's also Namco.

Ooh maybe you fight on a platform depicting the notes being played like in the games, and the longer the song goes on, the more elaborate the stage becomes as platforms appear and everyone jumps in the background and starts dancing.

Taiko could also launch balloon notes could be at players as projectiles.

Nightmare is my choice.

you shouldn't feel bad. if you're not interested, you're not interested. smash wants don't have to be any deeper than that

If we get another Namco character I feel like I want it to be a Dark Souls character.

Interestingly though, FromSoftware now owns the Elden Ring IP outright so it’s possible that the Tarnished or another Elden Ring character is more likely.

Edit: I guess I should elaborate. Considering that Sakurai always works with the original creators and teams it might just be easier to get a Elden Ring character and work with Miyazaki that way instead of getting the rights to Dark Souls from Bandai-Namco and then going to Miyazaki for the minute details.
