You say that

But I've seen quite some comments thinking Goku has a chance of being one of the 5 DLC characters

Yeah...there's always stupid people out there. If there's a new ballot, pray they don't waste their votes on him.

Uh...huh. I'll never understand...

 

[KMDP]

You know, I'd probably be a little more interested in Digimon if they were named like Pokemon. Or like... not like this.

I like the fan theory that the "mon" is a file extension, because they're "Digital Monsters". And in some continuities, created by humans*.

So, for example: it's not "Agumon", it would be "Agu.mon" (not that Digimon would recognise the difference).

*Of course, in the continuities where Digimon are made by humans, this means that those programmers are huge pervs, because of how the female Digimon look. XD
EDIT: That being said, after a while you just don't notice the extreme prevalance of "mon" in every name.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Out of all of those choices, I actually do see Phoenix Wright having a shot. He is still pretty popular in Japan, but what about Americas and Europe? I'm not asking that as in "Are they REALLY that popular", I just wanna know if they still got that oomph for Phoenix, because it has been quite the while since the last Ace Attorney game.

And if Sakurai can make a moveset for Piranha Plant and Phoenix has a UMVC3 moveset, there's no excuse.

Ah, Phoenix certainly has his fair share of popularity overseas. The recently announced ports should only expand that popularity.

 

[CommanderZaktan]

Wut? Why would they be?

They know Goku won't be in. So this DQ character being in won't change anything.

Because both characters were designed by Akira Toriyama

 

[Slavic]

Even if a new Banjo-Kazooie DOES get announced, people here realize it won't affect Smash in the slightest, right?

The DLC has already been decided, and if Sakurai didn't know about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 until its announcement, a Nintendo game, then there's no chance he had early access to a Microsoft title.

look if a B-K game gets announced my Smash hype won't be at the front of my mind

It may not affect Smash.
But it would make a lot of people here see that any franchise can return like Crash.

And i just want that: prove people that anything is possible with enough effort. I experienced this with Crash, and i strongly believe that it can still happen with Banjo. With or without Smash.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

That being said, you misspelled "Beelzebumon" (Beelzemon in the Dub), not that that's a big deal.

I think "Beelzebumon" is actually Japanese translated name.

And Magnadramon/Holydramon and Hisyaryumon are tied for my favorites (Well, simply because dragons).

 

[Bionichute]

new banjo kazooie probably isn't going to happen, but i really need any reason to use my xbone again

it isn't a bad console, it just has......... nothing.

 

[Graizen]

You know, I'd probably be a little more interested in Digimon if they were named like Pokemon. Or like... not like this.

The "mon" is a File Extension for "Monster"
There are monsters in Digimon that don't have the "mon", thats becouse they are different Files from the Digimons.

You need to see the names as "Agu.mon" , "Grey.mon" , "Gabu.mon"
Just like you see your Files on your PC: "Video.mp4" , "Text.txt", "File.rar"

That seems obvious. If anything, if Banjo does get in anyway, it'd likely be due to previous support, or Phil Spencer actually pulling through for trying to get stuff done. Though I find that unlikely.

I mean, I would honestly only expect some BattleToads footage. And maybe KI4, since KI3 did pretty well for a lower budget fighting game.

Oh, and Fulgore for Smash and all that.

 

[Wyoming]

Uh...huh. I'll never understand...

Goku's a cool guy full of interesting moves. On concept alone it would be interesting to see how they'd integrate him into the roster.

No I don't care that he's an anime character. Yes I know that means he'll never be in, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the thought of the idea. I'd take him over some of the characters mentioned on here, anyway.

 

[ClaTheBae]

Not to be that guy but if we learned anything from Banjo Nuts its that we maybe shouldn't get our hopes up

You need to see the names as "Agu.mon" , "Grey.mon" , "Gabu.mon"

That doesn't change the fact that individual names starts to feel less unique and repetitive after a while, though that's subjective.

If that’s the case, then what the hell kind of name is WarGrey?

 

[Cosmic77]

I think people thinking that Nintendo will pick characters that will promote games or make them money is wrong I think that will be part of the selection process but Sakurai would likely show them the ballot results and stuff like that so I do think that they will pick fan favorites that will also help make them money

You think Nintendo wasn't aware of who was popular before the ballot? Literally every time they post something on Twitter or YouTube, people are spamming character requests for Smash Bros.

Fan favorites appeal to hardcore fans (who will likely buy whatever Nintendo gives them anyway), but not many appeal to casuals. Promotional characters for newer games probably offer Nintendo a bigger payoff if the characters successfully spike interest in the games. Just look at what it did with Fire Emblem.

 

[Bionichute]

nuts and bolts is an excellent game you fool

That'd be nice. One of these days, Earthworm Jim could come back without porting/updating the first game again.

new banjo kazooie probably isn't going to happen, but i really need any reason to use my xbone again

it isn't a bad console, it just has......... nothing.

And I don't have enough reasons to justify buying one (Shovel Knight with Battletoads boss, Rare Replay).

I guess. What I don't know is if people would complain if the character they asked for ends up being too dominant. I don't despise him, but I really can't say much on if Sakurai would even think of him at all for anything.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

If that’s the case, then what the hell kind of name is WarGrey?

My guess is "War" is short for warrior and Grey possibly meaning "ancient". That's just what I'm taking from the Wikimon site.

[Knight Dude]

As for a "Never Ever" topic. How do any of you feel on Scorpion or Sub-Zero? I don't think they'd happen, but they'd make waves here in the west at least. Japan sandbags MK, so it'd be the opposite of Katalina I guess.

 

[KMDP]

I think "Beelzebumon" is actually Japanese translated name.

And Magnadramon/Holydramon and Hisyaryumon are tied for my favorites (Well, simply because dragons).

Yeah, I know. Graizen spelled it "Beelzebuumon".

On the whole, I prefer the Japanese names, generally because they make more sense.

"Diaboromon" is a corruption of "Diablomon"
"Vamdemon" became "Myotismon", which is clever (Myotis is a genus of bats), but... you know, who knows what "Myotis" means? (that's the point, it was censorship)
"Tailmon" became "Gatomon", when "Gato" is the Spanish word for "(Male) Cat" (Tailmon is female).
"Protomon/Plotmon" (Tailmon's prevo) became "Salamon", named after the translator's cat.
"Omegamon" became "Omnimon", not bad on it's own, but then Omegamon loses it's obvious connection to Alphamon.
"Demon" became "Creepymon", which everyone (even the dub writers) hates, but Bandai insists on for some reason.
"Lilithmon" became "Laylamon", which is just... ugh... (fortunately this is restricted solely to Digimon Fusion)

 

[Graizen]

If that’s the case, then what the hell kind of name is WarGrey?

War-Grey-Mon = Monster from the Grey War , or the Ashes of War

 

[Deleted member]

Goku's a cool guy full of interesting moves.

I hate how most modern media never uses Goku in a creative way, and pretty much just depicts him as a kamehameha machine in combat.

 

[Pyra]

Yeah...there's always stupid people out there. If there's a new ballot, pray they don't waste their votes on him.

would never happen but **** y'all i'd love it

 

[Bionichute]

"Diaboromon" is a corruption of "Diablomon".

you know diaboromon is the english name right

 

[ClaTheBae]

nuts and bolts is an excellent game you fool

It had fun moments but honestly I would never return to that game. The missions are rarely fun, the whole car thing isn't very intriguing to me either.

 

[osby]

"Lilithmon" became "Laylamon", which is just... ugh...

Wow, can't you even appreciate a Derek and the Dominos reference?

 

[Iridium]

I would take it. Sakurai would probably alter the Fatalities (if he uses them) to be less brutal (with no blood too), but then...we get the music. They also could bring some pretty great stages as well.

Give me his Tenkaichi 3/Raging Blast moveset and he'd be golden. (no pun intended)

 

[Deleted member]

how does it see

With scoping accuracy. :V

 

[StormC]

I almost hope a new Banjo isn't announced because I really don't want to have to buy an Xbone.

nuts and bolts is an excellent game you fool

It's really not.

 

[KMDP]

If that’s the case, then what the hell kind of name is WarGrey?

The best kind of name, obviously.

you know diaboromon is the english name right

Yes.

That's what I'm saying.

"Diablo" is pronounced "Diaboro" in Japanese, and the translators for the movie missed the meaning, getting the name wrong in the process (and then it stuck).

EDIT: It would be like if Nintendo called Luigi "Ruiji" in the States.

 

[Honest Slug]

I think the DLC will be something like.

Bandanna Dee
Elma
Steve
Slime
Rayman

If Rex & Pyra were too late I don't think a Gen 8 Pokemon or a character from the new Fire Emblem would make it, but I could be wrong.

 

[ClaTheBae]

I almost hope a new Banjo isn't announced because I really don't want to have to buy an Xbone.



It's really not.

I will say I probably had more fun with it than with Yooka Laylee

 

[Pyra]

I almost hope a new Banjo isn't announced because I really don't want to have to buy an Xbone.

Even that wouldn't be enough to convince me tbh

 

[Slavic]

Not to be that guy but if we learned anything from Banjo Nuts its that we maybe shouldn't get our hopes up

well good thing about me is I never learn anything

also I don't have an xbox so honestly I probably wouldn't end up playing it anyways

 

[Bionichute]

It had fun moments but honestly I would never return to that game. The missions are rarely fun, the whole car thing isn't very intriguing to me either.

oh i was assuming that you, like most people, hadn't actually played it and were just ****ting on it because of the cars. you're entitled to how you feel about it, i personally enjoyed it a lot

It's really not.

did you play it tho?

i think we can agree the music is great though

 

[-crump-]

Hot take for the lads

People who make fun of or insult Goku fans are in general more annoying than actual Goku fans.

So what if he's an anime? People can hope for any character they damn well please, so long as they're not ***** about it. Bullying someone because they want a character in Smash, regardless of who the character is or what they're from, is stupid and pretty and all kinds of pathetic.

 

[Knight Dude]

I hate how most modern media never uses Goku in a creative way, and pretty much just depicts him as a kamehameha machine in combat.

Yeah, up until the latter half of the ToP, he doesn't get crazy creative, or at least borrow the trickier moves from his friends.

I would take it. Sakurai would probably alter the Fatalities (if he uses them) to be less brutal (with no blood too), but then...we get the music. They also could bring some pretty great stages as well.

Scorpions could just be him taking his mask off, and shooting a huge flamethrower out of his Ghost Rider head. Sub-Zero either shoots a huge Ice Beam or does his Animality and slashes you up as a Polar Bear, but without the blood. Either way, I hope they'd have the goofy arcade fun of the OG Trilogy.
