Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

I've never NOT wanted a character, but Incineroar is a first for me... sigh.

What's this about a card?

Bunch of dumb **** like Mimikyu, some AT, Dixie and idk.
But what's important was that Masked probably got NDA'd and Yakuza'd by Square-Enix, whenever what he said is true or false

Well...I mean Mimikyu, y'know, isn't in
Can't help but feel a random intern wouldn't know if VERGE doesn't know.

 

[Hinata]

The playlist is for the 20-second long clips that all characters get, right?

From what I understand, yeah.

 

[Xgears]

Just a reminder that there's still nothing to disprove this.

It's gonna be a CRAZY reveal if it's true.

.......Looking at this for the first time ever.

......two blank spaces just like the box, huh?

What the real galaxy brain people know:

Ken is a Isabellesque unique fighter

Incineroar is a bayonetta echo

 

[Nekoo]

Welcome to the club and how I feel with every leak naming the Square-Enix characters.
However, if he's an intern, maybe he got rekt by the trap and fake names.

Yea exactly. I wouldn't be shocked if Mallow was a fake name and he got dunked on.

 

[Noipoi]

Incineroar is a bayonetta echo

Well, they're both pretty hot.

Spoiler

And i've heard Bayonetta loves Frosted Flakes

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Let's put something into perspective here.

Some folks assume Ken may be in the game. Not because of a leak, a box, a card or other such nonsense, but because the August Direct showed SF has more songs than last time.

This theory already has more basis than what's been said time and time again on here so far.

What is the significance of this? Asking because I’m out of the loop.

Yup. The Japanese one, specifically.

I thought he was in the game as soon as I saw Richter, meaning that the floodgates for 3rd part clones was open.


Then I saw the leak, and how every attempt to kill it made it stronger.


As far as I'm aware, Ken's all but confirmed.

I'm not sure if it means anything myself. It could be implying the box is still a full out placeholder and not finished(besides missing 3 characters, of course). It could be showing the box theory is legit. It could go either way. It's however obviously not the final physical copy, so...

 

[Luigi The President]

Wonder how likely it is this stealth update will turn out to mean nothing.

 

[Will]

.......Looking at this for the first time ever.

Yeah? What else are you gonna do? If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it to fit some sort of aesthetic when its literally impossible to do it another way.

 

[hposter]

Just a reminder that there's still nothing to disprove this.

it was only 2 days before the direct, right?
couldn't it be possible that they were mimicking vergeben?

 

[Nekoo]

Wonder how likely it is this stealth update will turn out to mean nothing.

Not very likely, someone apparently checked every video/Date to be sure nothing was re-uploaded/Edited
At best a Direct/Announcement is C L O S E.
At worst they're planning things ahead, for a Direct in November/End of October

 

[Darkurai]

Not very likely, someone apparently checked every video/Date to be sure nothing was re-uploaded/Edited

I did. Every single fighter's video is the same date as they were revealed.

I guess it's possible I missed one since there's over 70 now, but I think I'll just assume I'm right rather than spend another 15 minutes just looking at dates on YouTube

 

[Deleted member]

From what I understand, yeah.

Yup. The Japanese one, specifically.

Then I wonder why people are saying it can't be Ken...?

We could get both Incineroar and Ken revealed in the same trailer easily.

 

[Icedragonadam]

I think the next newcomer & echo is going to be just a livestream ala Robin/Lucina.

 

[TyrantLizardKing]

Wonder how likely it is this stealth update will turn out to mean nothing.

If they did the same thing before previous reveals, then it absolutely means something. We're closing in on the 60 day wait, they can't put off new content forever.

Also is Smashboards glitching out or something? I see a bunch of images aren't working today.

 

[Deleted member]

I’ll I’m going to say is this. If Veggie was right and by some miracle we actually get Dante in November, I’m going to lose my mind so damn hard. I might just go full Etika lol.

 

[dezeray112]

So, if the playlist update is anything to go by, we'll likely have a character announcement next week... Who do you all think it is?

I'm pretty confident that it's incineroar. Pokemon Let's Go is coming out soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's something Pokemon related.

Possibly Inceniroar, Ken or perhaps both.

 

[Graizen]

Actualy i can imagine Maximilliam and other people putting the game with Final Smash Bar
And playing Smash 100% like a fighting game

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I think the next newcomer & echo is going to be just a livestream ala Robin/Lucina.

In my opinion

 

[Shroob]

Then I wonder why people are saying it can't be Ken...?

Well, wasn't it just one video?

Wouldn't that mean only 1 character is being revealed?

 

[Nekoo]

If Dante by some miracle gets in and no one ******* about his insane combos and how he potentially will and most likely will break the game, but Bayonetta gets death threats and whining about being cut instead of trying to fix her issues?

I'm side eye all of those types of people so hard, because you know damn well why you're not reacting the same way you do to Bayonetta if it's Dante put in her place.

Dante looks cool.
He's cool.
I don't hate Bayonetta except competitively, but visually, having a Dante switching style, fighting with Rebellion and all that Jazz doing Stingers and **** hype me more than Bayonetta, even if he's Top 1 and OP I KNOW he ain't going to be Boring to watch.

Guess each their own opinion and preference about characters.

 

[Roberk]

Looking at that card, it's a real thing that has a design that was actually printed rather than just being a potential digital rendition like with the box. The design is just too good to change, why print the card when it would have to change to have more than two more newcomers? Unless Nintendo is pulling some long-con on the speculation community with misinformation, I don't see why the Box + Card theory shouldn't be believed.

I mean seeing as it was already printed and in stores, why print the card before you add those two newcomers?
I see reasons as to why it SHOULDN'T be believed now.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Possibly Inceniroar, Ken or perhaps both.

It only added 1 video... it's probably gonna be one or the other...

Just a reminder that there's still nothing to disprove this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has any main series Devil May Cry game appeared on a Nintendo System? I know Dante appears in stuff like Project X Zone... But in this case, I think the main franchise should be on the system first before they get into Smash (Before you say Cloud, despite FF VII not being on a Nintendo console, FF as a whole has had a big appearance on Nintendo Consoles). Besides, If we were to get a third unique Capcom rep, shouldn't it be someone with more ties to Nintendo like a Monster Hunter or Phoenix Wright?

Unless said newcomers are being revealed this month.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Wouldn't that mean only 1 character is being revealed?

Yea but Lucina and Robin were revealed together

Could be the same case here difference is could be different franchises

And probably 1 unique and 1 echo if the case

 

[SlickWylde]

Once again, I'd like to say: The reason people are panicking over the prospect that the box/card theory might be true is because they think, quite foolishly I might add, that this is the last Smash game.

Nope. People are "panicking" (Haven't really seen many people panicking tbh) because they're worried there are only 2 more characters left in this game, and were hoping for more. They feel that speculation has ended, and that the next few months leading up to release will be boring.

And the next Smash game won't release for another 4 years at least (most likely) so not getting a character you want means a long wait.

 

[Luigi The President]

Unless said newcomers are being revealed this month.

I mean...I think we're both missing each others point.
If there were two newcomers, and they're being revealed this month, then why leave those 2 slots and already send them off to stores?

 

[Shroob]

Yea but Lucina and Robin were revealed together

Could be the same case here difference is could be different franchises

That's not the video playlist that got updated, bro.

The one that did is for the 20 second gameplay clips, not the trailers.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Well, wasn't it just one video?

Wouldn't that mean only 1 character is being revealed?

To my knowledge, whatever new videos are there cannot be seen, and I have yet to see anyone try and do something so we can see them, so it could be Ken and Incineroar, and maybe more.

 

[Chrono.]

Then I wonder why people are saying it can't be Ken...?

We could get both Incineroar and Ken revealed in the same trailer easily.

Because pre established patterns can't be broken apparently. :v
