Not true. It's Smash Special

 

[osby]

Not sure if everyone here has seen this already, but Heihachi is a part of Pacman's moveset. Does this mean Lloyd not Heihachi is the Bandai Namco rep? Or will they pull a Chrom and have him in the game as a playable fighter and also in another characters moveset?

It's just a sprite, I heavily doubt it'll effect anything.

 

[Kuon]

OK. I have around 14 hours more to go to get my game. We still can make it to the 9000, right?

100%. Without a doubt... Am I helping?

Probably only if we spam at this rate.

Get ready for SUPERMAN 64 2 to be announced tonight. And get ready for the return of Wave Race.

I'm from Spain.

Interesting.

And I was just watching a Punch Out Wii Let's Play yesterday...Could this mean something??!!

Superman 64 2 will be GOTY next year

And Jin Kazama

I actually have had a theory that Bandai Namco might choose Jin over Heihachi. We know Heihachi dies in Tekken 7, and we know in Tekken 8 Jin will be the main focus. We have seen Bandai Namco push Jin as the face of Tekken before in Tekken 3. So what if they use Jin in Smash Bros Ultimate to really solidify the fact he is now the main face of Tekken not Heihachi. Aslo Heihachi has been consistently chosen before in other cross promotions, but now that Bandai Namco is pushing Jin. They might say its time for Jin to be the one pushed. Im not saying it will happen, but it is a very big possibility. In my opinion its now Jin vs Lloyd in competition for the Bandai Nacmo spot. It could still be Lloyd, but I wouldn't dismiss that Jin might be in the running now.

Also how great would this be? Just my opinion, but Ryu vs Jin in Smash would be epic.

Don Flamenco always was one of my favorite Punch-Out!! boxers.

 

[Flyboy]

Have I missed anything since last night? Saw GameXplain’s review. Bout what I expected. Shame they said WOL was a bit of a slog, but they had to get the review out in time so that might be a result of that.

I guarantee that's why. WoL seems like a mode meant to be played in bursts on the train or before bed. It's the same design philosophy as Mario Odyssey's moons - reward short bursts of play with tangible rewards. I'm looking forward to it.

"Nay", and then that is immediately followed by a, "yay"!

I think I recognize Jin, but I'm not familiar with him or his name as I've never played a Tekken game before. At least I don't think I have. What was that fighting game on the Sega Saturn that had that guy that got drunk before battle and would drink more after he won?

 

[Chandeelure]

I need a video with all the Victory Poses and Taunts.

Jin would be cool, but what if it’s Kazuya?

Well there's this video for the victory scenes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRrLHEPVb1I but I don't know if there's one of all the taunts

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Huh, some competitive Smashers are also part of the Dev Team at Ultimate!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

aMSa - Melee Yoshi player who currently ranked 8th at Melee PGR Top 100
9B - Smash 4 Bayonetta player who recently ranked 44th at PGR 100
Earth - Smash 4 Pit/Corrin player who recently ranked 42nd at PGR 100
Ranai - Smash 4 Villager main who formerly ranked around the top 20s at PGR v3

These guys are testers, testing the gameplay at Ultimate during the time prior to Release!

As a competitive lover, this makes me smile

Minus the hour of my life wasted trying to figure out where the flying taxi was. That's one advantage Ultimate has over Odyssey.

lol imagine thinking heihachi is actually dead

I watched it, there's also the Prince from Katamari Damacy and Don Chan from Taiko no Tatsujin. Remember that Lloyd ****ing Irving was a Mii costume in smash 4...

LLOYD IS OUR BOY

Combine that with Jin's moveset being in Soulcalibur and the fact that he may have a little more moveset potential with the devil transformation...you may have a point.

Of course my Tekken main is Alisa because I love robots so I'd want her. But really, Jin would be sick.

 

[Pyra]

When we getting Noctis and Negan in as Tekken reps?

 

[Kuon]

With the rumor that we won't get dlc at the VGA, I'm not sure what to talk about now... Oh look, a cute Lillie and Nebby

Spoiler

 

[Dyamanttine]

So... I had a dream last night about Sora getting revealed at VGA... Maybe it will come to be?

 

[osby]

After Geese Howard.

 

[P1ZZ4CHU]

You have my sword.

The only person I can think of is Bo Rai Cho from mortal kombat, but I don't think thats who you are referring to.

Heihachi, Kazuya and Jin are the big three of Tekken. Originally Kazuya was the main character, but they switched it to Jin in Tekken 3. Then they all sort of meshed together, Heihachi is the face of Tekken though, or at least he was. It remains to be seen who will be the main face in the next Tekken games.

Jin would be cool, but what if it’s Kazuya?

Kazuya, could be considered, but I doubt it. Considering its obvious they are going to push Jin, based on Tekken 7's ending. Also im not sure if Kazuya is more popular than Jin. Kazuya hasn't really been the face of Tekken since Tekken 1 & 2. And like I said I don't think they will make him the face of Tekken in Tekken 8, based on Tekken 7's ending.

It's just a sprite, I heavily doubt it'll effect anything.

That is true, thats why I said it could be like another Chrom instance. Where the character is part of moveset, but also a playable fighter.

 

[Kuon]

You have my axe.

And if he returns the axe to you, that means war, right?

 

[P1ZZ4CHU]

tfw you want to quote LOTR but you're half asleep and end up referencing TES instead.

 

[Deleted member]

It will be Crash with a Sora Mii costume.

I also took an arrow to the knee.

Honestly I'm probably thinking of Virtua Fighter since it was on the Sega Saturn. I think that was the only Sega Saturn fighting game I've played. Well, that and Sonic the Fighters

 

[A.G.L.]

Oh theres no way he is, or he will get revived like his father. He might sit the next Tekken out though, or at least story wise he will.

 

[Deleted member]

Your reaction if we got a Smash trailer that started with Inspector Gadget holding an iPad?

 

[Kuon]

I don't know too much about LOTR, but I was referencing Skyrim

Edit: I didn't realize at first that TES stood for The Elder Scrolls

 

[Bee Card]

It will be Crash with a Sora Mii costume.

It will be a new Mii fighter with cresh and sora as mii costume*


*mii costume sold separately

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Haha, yeah. Two in one!

 

[Deleted member]

I heard tales of word from Reggie that there'll be some special talk at VGA's tonight? Have there been stirrings in the Leaker World? Beyond the word of possible Square Enix reps that is? (Unless the Square rep has been narrowed down further from the purported 7 possibilities?)

 

[Kuon]

I'd have a very long and unpleasant lecture prepared for Sakurai

 

[Deleted member]

*Marvel 2 in 1.

boi

Speaking of things to do, here is me when smash ultimate arrives.
