Jigglypuff rest combo in ultimate. Hopefully it hasnt been posted yet. If it has then my bad, board moves too fast.

I like how I mentioned that my prior claim just got backed up by this but nobody seems to have even read my post

Oh? You mean this?

Spoiler

One report from someone who finished it also says that there is a special surprise before the final fight

Marx boss fight in nutshell

1)***** isnt censored in the photo so you wanna do that
2) Imma confiscate this for my own use

 

[doomedtacox]

Don't think it matters at this point

The Ridley thing has nothing to do with it. If you scale porky and his machine down, his body will be like half the size of Squirtle or smaller, he may even be hard to see in handheld. Ridley is still one of the biggest characters in the game.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh? You mean this?

Yup. I probably should have mentioned what else the reddit post said but although I didn't look at the pictures, the post ALSO said 15 hours and that Cloud was found in the Triforce Realm

 

[Kingslime304]

He’s like 9 he can be short.


It’s not like he’s 6 ft tall like another certain villian character I want in Smash Bros

Heck his machine in Mother 3 wasn't even as big as it was in Brawl (Which was only big because y'know, Boss).

I mean Porky is supposed to be a kid. Just make him like Bedman from Guilty Gear and voila, perfect

 

[praline]

Are people not concerned with how porky would scale down? It seems like if they made his machine a reasonable size, he would just be like a ****** inside of it.

Not if they used his clearly superior mech from Earthbound.

 

[MainJPW]

Important villains that aren't playable in Smash yet, ay?

2) Imma confiscate this for my own use

I already did that.

 

[ReeseBalaski]

Just SDI, guys.

This is just not true.

So I just finished Dragon Quest XI and its ending leads me to believe that if Square were to choose a Dragon Quest character to add to Smash, it unquestionably, without a shadow of a doubt will be Erdrick. I will explain below in loose terms, but be warned MAJOR DQXI TRUE ENDING spoilers ahead.

Spoiler

Throughout the game you are told that you are the descendant of Erdwin, a hero of legend that sought to vanquish the source of evil in the world. Knowing about the Erdrick trilogy obviously made me question if they were rebooting that or just playing off it for nostalgia's sake, but in reality they were just stringing it all together.

DQXI takes place before the trilogy and your character is given the title 'Erdrick' by the Yggdragon (god basically). Once this is revealed, they show off the DQ1 protag heading off to adventure and in the post credits hint at the classic Erdrick being woken up by his mother (a nod to the old game).

So, moving forward I imagine Square would like to either remake the trilogy, keep the theme of Erdrick for the next game or tie together the rest of the series' events in similar fashion. Either way, they made a HUGE deal of this in the finale, and they've brought the original trilogy back to relevance tying it together with 11.

Here is Palutena's guidance on Street Fighter's Ryu in case it hasn't been posted:

"Sure you can!"

Pit saying "Sure You Can" reminded me of this comic.

 

[Kuon]

Yeah, nobody is gonna buy a piranha plant.

Except for the tons of people who are hyped for its inclusion

 

[Zeox]

Like myself.

 

[Kuon]

Like myself.

And myself as well

 

[KarneraMythos]

Also Mario RPG. You know, Geno.
mario and Luigi superstar sega too.

Both non-canon games as well, c'mon brochacho. Why you gotta do me dirty?

 

[PuyoWitch]

So happy with the Spirit choices.

Spoiler

A mix of really obscure games like ASH and Project Hacker, and ones I've always would have loved represented like the Elite Beat Agents and all four Shovel Knight protagonists along with Shield Knight. My heart, Sakurai.

 

[PF9]

I hope to get a Ridley amiibo

I plan on naming it Alien, a nice complement to Samus being named Ripley after the main character of the Alien series, a huge influence on Metroid.

 

[kirbsmash]

Canon? What is a 'canon' to Smash? Never heard such a thing.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Yeah, nobody is gonna buy a piranha plant.

Of course they won't

Because's he's free

 

[Zeox]

Of course they won't

Because's he's free

Only for a month or two... but c'mon, who is gonna wait a month to buy Smash anyways?

 

[GoeGoe]

Someone made a mockup of him and a Cave of the Past stage:

Doesn't really look too farfetched.

I'm not that familiar with Porky but I'd love to play as a fat boy in a spider like UFO. Oh I wish it was Dr.Wily's UFO too.

 

[Ace C.R.O.S.S.]

It seems like an special guest appears during one of the palutena's guidance.....
I never expected alucard...

He could always be given a smaller machine original to smash.

 

[kirbsmash]

can i be the plant please, mommy? I promise to destroy my rivals after bed.

Making "the noise" constantly.

Now I want this even more!

 

[Zeox]

Only if you finish your "adventure mode" first.

 

[StupendousMike]

Then why did you suggest Goku or Shrek?

I didn't. But I bet a lot of kids did.

 

[-crump-]

I’d be really hype if Porky (spider mech) somehow made it in, but with Nintendo holding the reigns to DLC choices I think it’s basically impossible. They’re in it to make bank, and the antagonist of one of their smallest, most niche franchises with no hope of a sequel is not something I see them gunning for. And I doubt he hit it big on the Smash Ballot, because of Earthbound’s relative obscurity...

I’d be happy to get proven wrong though. :/

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Don't think it matters at this point

Yes it does. Ridley was a special case due to the MASSIVE amount of fan demand he had; there was pressure on Sakurai to make him work, so he did. Ridley's hunched over for most of his attacks which makes him look smaller, but you see he's still very big in his taunt where he stands up.

As far as I know, Porky doesn't have the luxury of hunching over, or the fan demand required to pressure Sakurai to make it work.

 

[TyrantLizardKing]

Important villains that aren't playable in Smash yet, ay?

I already did that.

It sucks that Eggman wasn’t even a boss, that man is a perfect fit for Smash and needs some sort of love. He’d blend so well with Sakurai’s sense of humour too.

Can we just get like, a Sonic pack please? With the missing Mii Costumes & more plus Eggman or Tails with bonus Shadow Echo?

-hungry Sonic fanboy

I must admit, a Cave of the Past stage, would be pretty cool, indeed.

The only thing that is concerning to me about this picture, is what one of the Porky's, is doing to poor Ness, down there... Ugh!

wait what happened to make my boy porky likely gimme the deets

Again, just look at Bedman. I don't think Porky has a chance of getting a major role ever but Bedman kind of shuts down this argument

 

[Akg0001]

No matter who they add, the roster wouldn't be complete without Toad and Dixie Kong imo. I'd include Dee but he's still relatively new compared to them. But Toad and Dixie are missing for sure. Toad is incredibly iconic too

I completely agree. With these 2 characters roster would be absolutely perfect and sakurai can add whatever he wants as dlc and i would never complain!

 

[Idon]

wait what happened to make my boy porky likely gimme the deets

He aint in as a spirit or boss.
So people are thinking he's got a shot of being DLC.
The argument now is whether they could make it work, and more importantly, whether they would they even want to.

 

[Deleted member]

He has zero presence in the game at all. People are debating if that means anything.

 

[Kuon]

If I could choose the 5 dlc it would be Sylux, Porky, Elma, Eight and Jill Valentine.

Yeah I know “but those aren’t hype additions” yeah well **** off cause I never asked you.

I think Elma and Jill would be pretty cool. I was never a fan of Porky and didn't know who Sylux was until recently, and I'm not sure who Eight is.

But if I had to choose, I'd choose Erdrick, Celica or Eldegard, Arle Nadja, Susie (from Kirby), and Viridi. These are the characters that I think have at least a small chance. I'm not going to choose niche characters like characters from Disgaea because I know they have no chance at all.
