Found him.

People are understimating Hero/Eight’s chances at the moment.

I mean, he is literally called “Hero”, a keyword used a lot when the insiders talked about the Square rep, and can fit the information that we have at the moment easily.

He just got more likely... And i can’t control the emotions at the moment.

another major addition to this anime crossover

 

[Zinith]

If it's small, light AND slow...

Maybe it's a Bravely character after all

Everyone's excited and here's me.

I'm excited to hear more about Joker, but DQ rep is a resounding "meh" from me.

Maybe his moveset is dope and I end up changing my mind.

 

[WaddleMatt]

Fixed it for you.

I don't see us getting another DQ rep except Erdrick or the small possibilty of Slime. Hero/Eight would be a random choice.

The character with a Game on the Switch in 2019 don't have a 0,1% chance for you?
Funny

Nope, I don't see him happening at all.

 

[The DanMan051]

Brave is a "medium" character, though: https://twitter.com/_Mizumi/status/1080978571542360065
...as well as Joker.

 

[Graizen]

Would Agumon have the code name brave/hero if he were in, or would something more efficient and related to the character be there instead?

"Brave" is the Soul of Agumon.

He is the Digimon of Courage and Bravery.

His Crest is the "Brave Crest"

And in his Final Evolution he uses the "Brave Shield"

As a Codename "Brave" is PERFECT for Agumon.

 

[Alternis]

Ok, so the one time in a month I decide to skip ahead to the most recent page, some **** goes down.

What's going on? Why am I seeing code words and waking speeds? And Erdrick?

>now it's light

You peeps can't make up your damn minds on what it is now, can you? Are you sure the actual raw data is there, or are you just believing some guy who looks legit enough to make you Grinch leak-tier oblivious?

Hero/Eight announced for Smash on the same year i become 18 years old is just too symbolic.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Brave is a flippin' weak hint to go on though.

I mean as a descriptor it applies to almost all the cast. Even Luigi can be described as brave as he overcomes his fears.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Hmm. Wonder if this means anything for a Bravely Default?

Then it better ****ing be Ringabel

 

[praline]

I’m just excited for a potential Dragon Quest character in Ultimate

 

[KarneraMythos]

oh god the "nO mOrE AnImE SwOrDmAn!1!!" crowd is going to be furious aren't they

The more outcries I hear toward "anime swordsman", the more I want them in the roster, just to piss off that Hate-Dumb. I'd rather non-Fire Emblem swordfighters though. There's plenty others out there that would be great to have in Smash.

Spoiler: Hint-Hint

 

[Polan]

if erdrick is that small then it's probably this design then.

Spoiler

lines up with sakurai going back to the old designs with retro-esque characters.

The design is so small, the picture broke and fixed itself

He's "medium", which is a trait he shares with Joker: https://twitter.com/_Mizumi/status/1080978571542360065

 

[Deleted member]

Wait, so Joker legit has some work put on him in the latest patch from what I'm reading?

If legit, then that's really cool. Hopefully that means some gameplay can be shown off soon.

 

[PolarPanda]

Out of curiosity: Why.

If it's in the game's code itself, can't anyone with the knowhow open it up and confirm the same thing? And what use is pilfering through the code to find clues regarding DLC characters if you're not going to do anything with said clues once found?

I just don't understand the reason for secrecy. I'd like to.

Well, since a certain somebody decided to make it very well known, I'll elaborate. Many people knew about it but were keeping it private because of a promise. 1. The person who initially found it did not want it attached to his name, for personal reasons. and 2. out of fear that Nintendo will become more aware and not let any little things like this happen again at all.

It's also a bad situation because this spread because somebody impersonated Kurogane and spread it around like wildfire to certain individuals, to the point where it eventually got public. It was a mess and somebody breached trust. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done now.

 

[KingBroly]

I would cry from joy if Hero/Eight is the DQ rep in the end.

Why 8? No one cares about 8. It's gonna be the Hero from 1, 3 or 11.

Why?
- Hero that started it all
- The most famous Hero
- the most recent Hero

 

[Gentlepanda]

this seems most likely - it'd be kinda interesting to have another young link type JRPG protagonist in the game

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Well, at least the last three will be surprises...

...no, they're just gonna leak right after Erdrick is announced as per usual.

If the third one is also a third party, then we can pretty much kiss a first party goodbye unless it's a new series like Wonderful 101 or something being added.

This would be the best option.

We’d be crying together, my dude.

 

[Will]

Okay, now I can get a bigger picture here:

Brave's speed is pretty much the exact same as
Brave is a little lighter than

I have no clue what a "medium" fighter is, because despite being "large", he's only a little taller than Mario.

That's the best one so i'm down with that.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

oh god the "nO mOrE AnImE SwOrDmAn!1!!" crowd is going to be furious aren't they

And this one is more anime than ever...
We're talking about a character who was designed by the same guy who designed Goku...
I mean, assuming this is Erdrick, of course

 

[Sari]

If it's true that the potential DQ hero will be small I really hope we at least get a DQ7 hero alt since he's also pretty small.

 

[Captain Shwampy]

BRAVE IN SMASH BOYS!!!!!!!!
J DECKER?
MIGHT GAINE?
GOLDRAN?
GAOGAIGAR???

LETS GO

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

“Brave” describes the class in Dragon Quest. Verg leaked Dragon Quest.

It’s Erdrick or a hero from it.

 

[Alternis]

All right, I understand the hubbub now. Datamine stuff.

Damn it, why must my hopes for a Bravely character be reignited.

 

[Yellowlord]

Yeah, I honestly feel "meh"on Erdrick if he's really going to be the next character as I haven't played a Dragon Quest game before and I'm not sure what he could do, although if he at least has magic and stuff, that'd be pretty interesting.

As for my previous comments on this being Yuri, those can simply be disregarded.

I am betting for either Erdrick or Eight.

Heck, this is already getting thrown around again:

[Gentlepanda]

one question - was the original file name 'brave', or was that translated from the Japanese 'yuusha'?

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

>now it's light

Don't act like that leak wasn't something we all were at least "cautious" about and well aware of there being two sides to the situation.

Don't think the majority of people were oblivious. Personal belief goes a long way, but oblivious it does not a person make. Not universally, at least. It definitely can in some cases.

 

[Will]

Until I can learn about what "medium" fighters mean, I'm on the bench between DQ and Bravely because their models are pretty similar if you're going to base it off of small Erdrick.



(comparing Erdrick and Ringabel)

1.) Sauce for such a mighty claim
2.) Prove Erdrick is a Brave Class

 

[Deleted member]

Play DQ8.

It is a wonderful game.

That's what I've heard from others.

Some think it could mean Bravely Default, but TBH DQ kind of makes more sense, especially since that's what's been going around so much lately.

We're probably not going to know for a while, though, as we don't even have Piranha Plant or even footage of Joker yet. DLC #2 probably won't get revealed until E3.
