Condiment King and Aldrich Killian for Smash Ultimate DLC.

If we actually got condiment king it’d be hard for me to even be mad that he’s a cartoon/comic villain and not a game character.

It would be absolutely so ridiculous that I’d laugh myself to death from it.

Thank you very much for the Duck Hunt gameplay video.

Another big buff to a character

Samus not getting a voice change is acceptable, but the dog is now top tier

So Dunk Hunt now does dog noises.

With this and Wario being able to heal himself, I have a lot of new mains... Now I just need to find someone playing Palutena.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I just want the DLC to be leaked already. It would be like ripping off a band-aid. I either want my dreams to come true or my hopes to get crushed quickly.

And so we won't have to stress all over again


I'm down with that

 

[Pyra]

Uh no, I meant that as in he doesn’t have a Spirit. My bad.

I don’t want to waste time making a list so spot them all in this video.

the more i watch the spirits reveal the more i'm genuinely into it lol

November Direct deconfirming the Grinch leak already crushed my hopes.

Bring it.

 

[Iridium]

For a better listen to Roy's new English voice (assuming this hasn't been shown).

Thanks, I love it

 

[StellerRJay]

So glad they added those barks in. Adds more personality to the classic duo.

This gives me hope that if Chocobo does make it in, he'll make the most adorable bird sounds. He can kweh to his heart's content~

Ray Chase and Kyle Herbert, doing some great VA work.

Pit plays Palutena...he’s about it

Fine, so be it. I can never escape leaks. Just stop hogging glory, Verg and Hitagi.

If X018 somehow manages to show something unexpected, I'll applaud Microsoft for it.

Quacking noises, too. That's how you improve on perfection.

 

[MrSmashFour]

Wario being able to heal himself

wait what??

 

[Idon]

Yeah, it seems that it's really difficult for Wolf to land a definitive kill on quick enemies.

Of course, it could also just be that Young Link is TOO DAMN FAST.

 

[Iridium]

Wolf: "You're good, but I'm better!"

looks good, but I'll stick with , and keep him as a "secondary" main.

 

[Shog]

For a better listen to Roy's new English voice (assuming this hasn't been shown).

WOW Roy looks like a lot of fun in Ultimate!!!!

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

wait what??

Eating items restores health for him now. Beware!

 

[Dee Dude]

Best part about having dog/duck noises?

I can’t complain about them not having their “canon” voices ala since they never had any to begin with lol.

 

[Deleted member]

We are closer to the Xbox thingy.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Dammit, dude! You beat me to posting that video.

Edit: Wolf sounds great. It’s no southern gruff but it’s just as good.

It’s a win for all Duck Hunt people

 

[-crump-]

I'm gonna be in this line for an hour but God help me I am PLAYING SMASH

 

[Iridium]

Not gonna lie, I haven't seen too much footage overall, although a lot of top players think he's basically top tier material. Perhaps he's not too popular, so I'm not that surprised.

 

[ClaTheBae]

Young link being a fastfaller is going to be so good for the meta

I admire your patience. Let us all know how it is after.

Now Wario heals himself when he Chomps his opponents.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If Muramasa got in smash, there will be so much kick ass music

where is this at?

 

[-crump-]

where is this at?

I am at the Florida Mall. They are hosting demos at a lot of places though, it's a holiday marketing push

 

[Iridium]

With this and Wario being able to heal himself, I have a lot of new mains... Now I just need to find someone playing Palutena.

I do know some Japanese Smash 4 Palutena mains, but I'm not sure if any are going to the Nintendo Live event in Kyoto (a few weeks from now). I'll check it, if you want.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

>Steve and Gangnam Style

You were saying?

As someone who grew up on this kind of thing, if I hear the instrumentals for Viva La Vida or DJ’s Got Us Falling in Love, my brain automatically jumps to the Minecraft versions instead of, you know, the actual song.

So we back in the mine

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Please tell me Wolf isn't getting nerfed

But Yink I'd definitely main as a secondary

I'd really appreciate it if it's not too much of a bother.

Sakurai missed an opportunity on the nintendogs stage by not making this the cat that appears.

In less than a month's time, we will have more answers about Ultimate's DLC.

Right now, there are two very suspicious absences as far as spirits go:
1. Bandana Dee (probably the most wanted newcomer among the Japanese fanbase right now)
2. Elma (Xenoblade X suspiciously has almost no content in Ultimate, no music, no Mii costumes, no Assist Trophy, just a single spirit of a Skell)

The burning question is whether having a spirit will deconfirm that character as DLC (there are two categories for spirits, fighter spirits which are spirits of fighters already on the roster and cannot be equipped, and the spirits that are not of characters on the roster and can be equipped).

If Pirahna Plant, Bandana Dee, and Elma all have their spirits missing in Ultimate, it basically de-confirms every single character that has a spirit as DLC and more or less basically confirms Bandana Dee and Elma (much like how Dark Samus missing her palette and Assist Trophy were bread crumbs for that character).

If those three do have spirits, then it means that spirits are not marks for de-confirmation. It is going to be very interesting, and this is something that most speculators seem to be sleeping on.

Those two and Dixie Kong are my personal first party bets now that we know the DLC was decided from the beginning.

Granted we still need to know why Piranha Plant is a thing, but it does clear up Bandana Dee's biggest counterpoint (granted regular Waddle Dee seems to be a Spirit according to some lists).

Elma, like Incinaroar, was pretty much at the right place and the right time when the game was being planned. Given how quickly the series has expanded, the lack of additional Xenoblade content is surprising. With K.Rool out of the way, I'd argue it's the least represented veteran franchise currently. Rex being a pre-order bonus also stands out in my mind, at least in terms of the popularity of the series.

It'll also be interesting to see if data miners come up with anything. If it was planned so far in advance, to the extent that Nintendo was directly involved with the selection and that Piranha Plant was deemed to be far enough in development to preview, it would surprise if we didn't find some sort of hint in the code.
