[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Yoshimitsu is the only correct Tekken character, come on guys

Nah, he's the correct Soul Calibur character

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Spoiler: Here is a leak! Guess who the character is. Just guess.

Here you guys go! Another ridiculous SSBU leak, courtesy of 4chan! In what world could this possibly happen?

Originated on Reddit apparently.

Personally, I think it's real.

Yoshimitsu is a cool character even if I'm partial to King and Eddie...

Spoiler

And no it's not because the first part of his name is "Yoshi." I'm telling the truth, really...

 

[KMDP]

Hey I know this is a dumb question to ask here, but does anybody think that you can input anything else but a n-air when you do the short hop arial tech that they showed off in the trailer??? I was just giving it some thought rn...

Footage from the Direct itself shows Marth using all his Aerials among four Short Hops (IIRC).

Okay, let's play a hypotheticals game!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is released and, shortly after release, Sakurai reveals that there will be an (in-game) online poll to determine an Assist Trophy/Pokéball to be promoted to playability.

The candidates are:

1. Waluigi
2. Krystal
3. Gardevoir
4. Lyn
5. Phosphora
6. Takamaru
7. Knuckles

Honorary mentions are Ashley and Isaac (who are unconfirmed but I would expect to be playable, however, I will list them to be on the safe side).

Spoiler: Example Character Playstyles

• Waluigi plays as the "Mario Spinoff Representative", his moveset involves using sports equipment (moreso than Peach and Daisy), throwing Dice (how the Dice Lands determines the effect, like Mr. Game & Watches flag), using DDR dance moves (the sole game where he was the main guy XD) and generating a "Stock Market Building" (like Dr. Wright). His Up Special is "Air Swimming", it's slow and does no damage, but Waluigi has a lot of control and can swim a long distance.
• Krystal is based almost entirely on Star Fox Adventures, using her Staff for everything. Fire Shots, Ice Shots, a ground slam, using it as a rocket, and also just beating people up with it. Her Final Smash causes a stampede of Dinosaurs.
• Gardevoir is sort of like a fusion between Zelda and Mewtwo, using Psychic and Fairy -type moves. Two of her Specials are the same as Mewtwo's (Confusion and Teleport), while she uses Moon Blast instead of Shadow Ball (which charges slower but travels faster), and Barrier to increase her Defense. Her basic attacks are more like Zelda's, and her Final Smash "Mega Black Hole", is very similar to Triforce of Wisdom.
• Lyn is a speed-based Swordswoman, though she also has a Bow in her Neutral Special. She shares Dancing Blade with the Marth archetype, but unlike them she is a lot more mobile during it. She also has Counter, which functions like her Assist Trophy attack (it's more like Lucario and Greninja's, having a slow wind-up and involving moving during the counter attack). The fact that she uses a Katana makes her functional damage range shorter than the Rapier of Marth, but she makes up for this with a lot of speed in her attacks.
• Phosphora can be summed up as a "Humanoid Pikachu", she combines electrical attacks with fast dancing movements. She is capable of limited gliding, making her better in the air than on the ground. Most of her attacks involve lobbing electricity of various shapes and sizes at her enemies in some way.
• Takamaru plays as a character in the same way as his Assist Trophy does, playing more like a historical Samurai than Lyn, who only uses a Katana (and Bow)... well, a Historical Samurai who also uses Fireballs. He is capable of throwing his Windwill Swords as with his Assist Trophy, but also can throw Throwing Knives. He is much more range based than other Sword-wielding Characters as a result.
• Knuckles is basically a translation of his gameplay from Sonic Games. While he can spindash like Sonic can, he is more powerful and relies moreso on Punching to get the job done. His Up Special is a rising uppercut, and like Peach he can glide through the air, though he does so at more of a downward angle. His Down Special allows him to dig into the ground, either to evade attacks, have a unconventional recovery in 'tower' stages, and to facility 'sneak' attacks on unwary foes.
• Ashley is a spellcaster, and like how Sheik is an archetypal Ninja, Ashley is an archetypal Witch. She can cast elemental spells (Fire, Electricity), summon vines to entrap enemies, cast debuffs on them and, in her Final Smash, turn people into Spoons, an item which she can then throw off the stage/out-of-bounds. Her up special turns Red into a Broom, which she can then fly on, it's similar to Villager's recovery, and Ashley can get knocked off through damage.
• While Isaac uses a sword in his basic attacks (with aid from his Djinni Sprites), he is a Geomancer in his Specials. He can use his Neutral Special (Quake) to create Blocks in the terrain, and his Side Special (Spire) to create Spikes out of the ground that hurt to land on (and can also be 'felled' like Villager's tree). If used in the Air, theses attacks drop out of the Sky instead (Spire has, naturally, a Spiking effect). His Down Special, Gaia, causes a beam of energy to erupt out of the ground (ending up like a Reverse Thunder if used in the Air), and it is capable of carving chunks out of the Ground, even out of the stage's ledge. Obviously, these alterations to the stage are temporary, and will go away after either a short period of time, or in the case of Quake and Spire, after enough damage is dealt to them. Isaac's Final Smash, Iris, gathers his full team (Garet, Ivan, Mia, Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers) and they collectively use the summon to launch caught enemies into the Sun.

You can only vote on one character (though you can say "Ashley/Isaac is they aren't already playable, otherwise [character]").

...Man, this took a long time to write (A full hour)!

Waluigi. Without any doubt.

Also, why is Gardevoir here, let alone the only Pokémon on the list?

 

[Billybae10K]

Nah, he's the correct Soul Calibur character

The fact that he represents both Tekken and Soul Calibur should make him enticing as a playable character (Tekken first though).

 

[Radical Bones]

Knuckles is clearly the correct answer to the above question. He is one of my all time favourite characters.

If Ashley isn't playable (which she WILL BE) then definitely her. Otherwise, Waluigi or Lyn.

My man, you put Lyn, Takamaru, AND Knuckles in the same list and are making me pick between one of them. I'm in shambles right now

 

[Deleted member]

Much like Jigglypuff, you will smile and secretly love it...

Also Yoshi is a just deity and will spare you by encasing you in an egg, unlike Luigi...

Let's go into Namco characters in a bit more detail.

I see four IPs that I think are possible.

Tekken
Soul Calibur
Tales of
Dark Souls

I don't see any other as possible. The other IPs are either too obscure or too small to really be considered, and I'm being nice by listing these four.

I think that each of these IPs have a unique set of pros and cons.

Tekken
+IP has the most legacy by far
+Very popular and successful
+Has a clear defined character to include in Heihachi
+Heihachi has been considered by Sakurai meaning that he's on his mind.
+Heihachi is a Mii costume, meaning Sakurai views him as special
-Heihachi was called difficult to design
-While popular in his own right, Heihachi hasn't gotten a lot of requests for Smash, especially in the ballot period



Soul Calibur
+IP is historic
+Very popular and successful though they did have a dip for a while
+Has a clear defined character to include in Nightmare
-Heihachi is more popular overall and has been considered by Sakurai, meaning Soul Calibur has to compete with its fighting game big brother
- Series had a large "It's ruined" phase for a few years, potentially decreasing public opinion
-While popular in his own right, Nightmare hasn't gotten a lot of requests for Smash, especially in the ballot period


Tales of
+IP is historic
+Popular and successful
+Lloyd is a Mii costume, meaning Sakurai views him as special
+ Lloyd is a Nintendo fan favorite and has received lots of requests for Smash
+ Swamp's personal favorite <3
- Even though Lloyd seems to be the front runner, there are actually a lot of characters the series could include, making it hard to choose one
- Smallest IP on this list by far, its fairly niche
- Lloyd requests unfortunately petered out after Brawl though they were still noticeable during the ballot, no one else seemed to pick up the slack

Dark Souls
+Very popular and successful
+ Nintendo has taken an interest in the IP, being the ones to announce Dark Souls Remastered
- Pretty new and doesn't have the legacy of other IPs
- Requests for a character only showed up after Dark Souls Remastered was announced which is way too late

I personally think Tekken and Tales of are the two IPs to watch.

What do you all think?

Hmmm.... Soul Calibur and Dark Sours do not seem that likely of getting into Smash Bros. There are a lot of other third parties that show competition, but they are not impossible. I could just be wrong.

Tekken seems pretty likely as Heihachi having a Mii costume is pretty notable.

Tales is at least a Nintendo game, so it seems more likely than Calibur and Dark. Seems.

Overall I really like this post!

 

[KMDP]

Waluigi. Without any doubt.

Also, why is Gardevoir here, let alone the only Pokémon on the list?

I forgot Meowth. That is the short answer.

The long answer is that not a lot of Pokémon who are confirmed Poké Ball Pokémon are good for Playable Status (Goldeen, any Flying mon, Quadrupeds etc), also I forgot Meowth.

 

[Delzethin]

I've been thinking lately about past leaks and rumors from previous Smash games. We've seen plenty of examples before of characters getting in who flew under the community's collective radar, rumors included.

So I'm wondering: Was there any rumor or leak or anything of the sort during Smash 4 speculation that had Robin on it?

 

[Billybae10K]

Pokemon Trainer's the new blog character. And with that, the three fighter a week theory I've been peddling just went up in smoke.

 

[Patriot Duck]

I can't find that Wurmple render on Google Images which means it's 100% unquestionably real.

 

[Murlough]

I forgot Meowth. That is the short answer.

The long answer is that not a lot of Pokémon who are confirmed Poké Ball Pokémon are good for Playable Status (Goldeen, any Flying mon etc), also I forgot Meowth.

*Remembers Mimikyu*

Thats just, like, your opinion, man.

Alolan Raichu could have been great.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Any time I see a which character should be promoted to playable post I mentally scream Ashley before even reading the entire thing.

 

[Billybae10K]

For those curious:

Today's Fighter
#33-35: Pokémon Trainer
The trainer returns with Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. You can choose to play as a male or female trainer!

 

[JayJay55]

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

 

[Next Door Dog]

How is Heihachi in any way more bland than Jin?

I always thought Jin was the most bland character.

Now that I think about it, you're right, definitely in the personality department. I still think Jin would have a more interesting moveset to work with, but maybe playing Heihachi in Playstation All-stars left a bad taste in my mouth. Of the main characters throughout the series I'd probably prefer Kazuya, but he hasn't been the most relevant character for quite a while.

Yoshimitsu is the only correct Tekken character, come on guys

Not having him in this game in some form with his pogo-katana shenanigans would be a travesty.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Pokemon Trainer's the new blog character. And with that, the three fighter a week theory I've been peddling just went up in smoke.

Well, on the bright side, they'll go through the characters faster like this, right?

 

[KMDP]

*Remembers Mimikyu*

Thats just, like, your opinion, man.

Alolan Raichu could have been great.

Maybe we get Kanto Raichu (as a Pikachu Semi-Clone) and Mimikyu as playable and complete the full set of Pikachu representation. XD

---

Also, considering X and the other Mega Men, Proto Man and Bass are all busy with the massive overkill that is Mega Man's Final Smash; what if we get Zero as a Second Mega Man character? (Also Roll as a MM echo... maybe...)

 

[Blargg888]

I would cry real tears if these three are in

Joy or sadness?

None that I can remember, and I was very active during Smash 4 speculation.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Nah, that'd be a silly id--
>FS involves summoning all Rolls and equivalents thereof, including Alia and Sonia Strumm
On second thought, I never thought I'd want this.

 

[Darkraid]

As much as I love Tekken, none of the chars are getting in. Sorry

Unless he decides to make all costumes into playable fighters.

Btw i think those with costumes are much more likely to be playable, ie Geno and King k rool.

 

[Zinith]

[Knight Dude]

I mean, Heihachi or Jin kinda have a chance. Yoshimitsu is one of my favorite characters though, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Just watch. They're posting things we already know and then one day they're gonna casually drop a bombshell.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

#33-35: Pokémon Trainer

That's four fighters this week.

R.I.P. three fighters a week theory

Just watch. They're posting things we already know and then one day they're gonna casually drop a bombshell.

Calling it now:

At least one actual newcomer will be revealed on the Blog. No direct, no trailer, no nothing. Just, "this fighter is in the game!"

Before release.

 

[FantasticMr.StarPit]

You missed the point a bit. The idea is that after the poll ends and the character is released a year later, they are longer an Assist Trophy, they get made playable due to fan demand.

(Except Knuckles, because of the "Knuckles & Knuckles" meme.)

It's also not a guess, it's a "How do you pick?" affair.

I see where you're going with here, still its weird to see an assist trophy turned into a fighter too quickly; it defeats the point of having them as an assist trophy in the first place. just saying.

 

[Next Door Dog]

Also, considering X and the other Mega Men, Proto Man and Bass are all busy with the massive overkill that is Mega Man's Final Smash; what if we get Zero as a Second Mega Man character? (Also Roll as a MM echo... maybe...)

The very thought of Zero being top tier in yet another fighting game makes me wary of having him in the game.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Far as I can tell, no. I don't like the new design at all, so I really wouldn't be surprised if its not as prominent as his classic look.

It’s probably for the better

 

[DarkFalcon]

Calling it now:

At least one actual newcomer will be revealed on the Blog. No direct, no trailer, no nothing. Just, "this fighter is in the game!"

I would not be surprised if they reveal at least 1 echo this way.

 

[Billybae10K]

Well, on the plus side if the three fighters a week theory is dead, we could get them revealed much quicker now. Not sure why they don't just do a fighter a day and have an extra item tacked on that's either relevant to said fighter or just interesting in general. At least, with the fighters it's literally a sentence or two plus the video on the site so it's not like it's difficult to script and schedule.

 

[Murlough]

you're right

MOOOOOOOOOM GET THE CAMERA!!

Now that I think about it, you're right, definitely in the personality department. I still think Jin would have a more interesting moveset to work with, but maybe playing Heihachi in Playstation All-stars left a bad taste in my mouth. Of the main characters throughout the series I'd probably prefer Kazuya, but he hasn't been the most relevant character for quite a while.

Yeah, you have a point moveset wise. I can't even think of a recovery for Heihachi that isn't just basically Shoryuken. Meanwhile, the Devil Gene gives Jin plenty of material between his two forms. Edginess wins again. ;-;

Maybe we get Kanto Raichu (as a Pikachu Semi-Clone) and Mimikyu as playable and complete the full set of Pikachu representation. XD

I won't be satisfied until we get Pachirisu. It won the world championship one year it deserves it.

Spoiler

I'm only half-joking.

 

[KMDP]

That's one of the least informative descriptions of the fighters to date. They're getting lazy...

Well, it was either be super bland or go on an insane, four paragraph diatribe about everything PT can do. I think they made the right call.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

That's one of the least informative descriptions of the fighters to date. They're getting lazy...

The less time spent away from development, the better. I'm moreso questioning why the Korean site gets updated first.

Also, for some reason they picked Pokémon Stadium for the memories segment instead of Red/Green.

Soul Calibur 2 was on the Gamecube, Link was even playable on that version. Heihachi on PS2 and Spawn on XBOX. There's also a Soul Calibur Wii Spin-off game and Lloyd was a guest in that. The latter wasn't good though.

Nah, that'd be a silly id--
>FS involves summoning all Rolls and equivalents thereof, including Alia and Sonia Strumm
On second thought, I never thought I'd want this.

Not really a fan of Roll myself but she pretty much was a Mega Man clone in Marvel vs Capcom 1 and MVC2. Should've been Protoman.

 

[Imadethistoseealeak]

Check at 1:31, and you will see an early kill by Sukapon on . Also, this was probably the best performance of any so far (good stuff, M2K). I could not also help but be confused on why could not act out of Flame Choke in the air, as I thought people said he could recover. Maybe that is if he gets the grab only perhaps.

Mew2king is defintely the best Ridley fighter I've seen so far (unfortunately I don't care for him). He makes Ridley look real scary which is great!...but to be fair the two videos i've seen of him we're up against people who really didn't seem to know what they were doing. Still great to see some nice Ridley combos instead of the videos where he just gets thrown around like a big punching bag by better players :/

Just watch. They're posting things we already know and then one day they're gonna casually drop a bombshell.

This. It's gunna be an echo too. Daisy didn't get a reveal trailer so it's totally possible we could get an echo like Impa just out of the blue. It would be so hype and I'm really hoping for it.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Also, considering X and the other Mega Men, Proto Man and Bass are all busy with the massive overkill that is Mega Man's Final Smash; what if we get Zero as a Second Mega Man character? (Also Roll as a MM echo... maybe...)

So long as its Zero from MMZ, then I'm 100% down. Make him top tier again for all I care, I just want him to be in a (pseudo) FG that isn't SvC: Chaos.
