->Monster Hunter player character
->Plankwood Personality

Yeah......how about no? We are talking about a character that frickin' strikes poses after using a healing potion in front of their enemies, a character so cocky, they go unto their back as they taunt their foes, a character willing to bring down their giant sword on recently placed barrel bombs just because it's so effective on the monsters, and who literally lifts their freshly cooked steak to the heavens in celebration as they finish cooking it.
You think people putting Hector from FE7 in the middle of an enemy army is cockiness at it's finest? How about a character who does that in front of frickin' forces of nature and brutes that want to tear you apart because you simply exist? And multiples of them?

Yeah, if there's one thing you can't say about the Hunter, it's that they lack personality. Capcom has always been good about giving them colorful and fun animations, both within their basic animations and through the options of the player. For example:

If they were put in, they'd most likely have the same silliness inserted into their characters just like Ridley's sadism or Incineroar's grandstanding. Lack of personality would not be an issue for the character.

Bruh

BRUH

I LEFT FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND I COME BACK TO SEE THAT WE'RE APPARENTLY GETTING AN SNK REP?

This is fresh news for me. Give me the deets now!

Nintendo of Europe put up a Challenger 5 page on their UK and Spanish website. The page had a copyright for SnK, which points to us getting an SnK character (speculated to be Nakoruku or Terry).

Shellshocker? Is that a reference?

Let's see... where did I hear that term before...
OMG Blastoise for Smash!

 

[Zinith]

It's obviously gonna be Geon...

 

[Will]

honestly **** nakoruru

i'd take haohmaru any day, that was my main

also he's in soul calibur so "nakoruru is the crossover pick" my ass

 

[Shroob]

Ngl

This insanity is fun.

When speculation has an actual frame of reference to go off of and it's not just wild west, it's actually enjoyable.

Didn't comment on this here yet, but I am #TeamReal.

1-The SNK copyright is consistent as to how they do it when they appear in other fighters as a guest.
2-The download file size is similar to the other characters we have.
3-Subjective thought, but SNK make sense. Company not yet in Smash, having a revival, and having them on board is smart business wise. I considered them among the frontrunners back in June for that reason, as well as having some mascots that fit Smash.

As for who it is, I think it is Terry Bogard, Kyo, or Nakoruru. Personally I have no horse in this race, but I do admit Nakoruru seems more appealing to add conceptually for Smash.

Yep, the Hunter is the kind of person who can't just drink a protein shake.
No, they MUST FLEX after doing it, even when a monster is barrelling right towards them!

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Nintendo put up a page for challenger pack for that had SNK listed as it's only copyright, similar to how Banjo and Hero only listed their respective companies copyrights. Page got taken down a few hours later.
Right now we're just arguing on whether it's Nakoruru, Terry or Kyo.

Hmmmm... If that bird image circulating a while back is anything to go by, I'd keep an eye on Nakoruru

That being said, Terry's pretty much the company mascot, and Kyo's no slouch either, so it could really go either way...

 

[kirbsmash]

I stan Terry, and I'm hoping for him.

 

[BlueMonk]

You're really out here just reposting the art that MainJPW posted two hours ago (with a source)

C'mon. I'm not mad, but I'm just a bit disappointed. Not disappointed enough for this post to have any sort of effect on my well being but disappointed enough to make a call out post about it so that the people can bring you to justice.

arguments for nakoruru:

• bird picture
• milk bosatsu calling hero details + labo VR back in december 2018 then going on to say fighter 4 is a female fighting game character with a returning projectile in june

arguments for terry:

• the literal big boy of SNK
• sakurai is a fan

it can go either way

bird gang sounds more fun

 

[Deleted member]

the truth come out

they could have just added steve minecraft but they went that extra mile and added his creator

 

[BlueMonk]

>shellshocker

Shell Shock is a military based term... makes it sound like Marco from Metal Slug

Though my intuition is saying Nakoruru

She said that shellshocker is not a hint, she just thought it sounded cool

this thread goes too fast for mere mortals like me to see every post

you cannot stop my like-farming strategies so easily

 

[Wademan94]

Stanning Terry too.

 

[Will]

GEESE TIER:
- Geese

TOP TIER:
- Haohmaru
- Galford / Hanzo
- Terry

"okay, i guess":
- Nakoruru
- Kyo

ok thanks for reading my objectively correct SNK newcomer list

Still didn't provide a source though, this is like getting your sentence down from murder to manslaughter

She said it wasn’t a hint, but I don’t know anymore, she’s covered her back in a similar way before.

If we get Marco, that’ll give me an excuse to push an obviously fake leak that claims him and Frisk (though it said Marco would be the 5th fighter...), so yes please be Marco. Metal Slug’s explosion was a texture in the Painterly Pack for Minecraft so it’ll also be something I technically still have no experience in but has a nice look for explosions.

 

[Wademan94]

I know it’d never happen but imagine if they made a new boss battle out of Geese Howard.

 

[Noipoi]

I’m just glad we have a general idea of who it could be.

 

[Shroob]

Real talk

If they ****ed up and put the copyright info up, that means Direct day is near.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

At this point, even if I don’t get my fated Resident Evil pick, I will embrace whoever we get as a part of the Smash family. It’s always been that way and will continue to be.

Whichever character it is, I will likely get psyched, and then buy a game from the series.

Still holding out for Leon.

dont do that

dont give me hope

I'd be fine with either really, they're both great choices.

That being said, I feel like Nakoruru would be the more interesting and wilder pick.

 

[Will]

there is 0 chance its him but galford is a top tier pick for me

you're telling me you dont want another icy but your partner is a ****ing dog? lame-o.

What do you mean? That’s just Isaac from Golden Sun.

sabi threw out a lil bit of a statement of sorts about the stuff

There was a problem fetching the tweet

It's King of Fighters. She packpedaled her KoF statement after realizing posting it was a bad idea. It's KoF.

 

[Shroob]

So

So far, every character has added something to the credits.

Atlus
Sugiyama
Microsoft
SNK

Wonder what 5 will be.

 

[Will]

ok so we got it down to Terry Bogard

the question is: what's his trailer gonna be about?

 

[ZephyrZ]

This Nakoruru character sounds fun, and she even has a pet bird! Let's watch some Samurai Showdown footage to see what she's all about!

*Watches gameplay*

That's uh..
That's a lot of blood.
That's actually kind of gross ngl, good thing it'd probably be censored in Smash.

 

[Brindor]

The whole SNK talk in the past few hours has made me realize how much I want more Chun Li in Smash, frickin hell

 

[TheCJBrine]

Yeah, I had a feeling the Frisk + Marco leak was already dead; KoF it is.

 

[Deleted member]

Stanning Terry too.

Oh my god he looks like Ken but his punches beat the **** out of people.

 

[Shroob]

Fighting Ken like his snk vs Capcom rivalry dictates.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Even if we "narrow" it down to King of Fighters, that won't help much as it was SNK's Smash Bros.

It absorbed all of SNK's fighting games until Samurai Showdown got rebooted.

If I really had to bet on a new company I would say Bethesda or Activision or Toei Animation
But I think it's more likely it'll be a character from Capcom or Bamco

if i don't hear a single 'Are you Okay?' the entire experience is ruined
