I forget the context of that Bender scene, so I'll just say he rocks that Mokujin cosplay

I think it was that he joined a new religion that said alcohol was evil, so he stopped drinking, but he would rust without alcohol, so he needed a wooden body.

Or something like that.

It was actually an episode about Bender rejecting modern technology after a new model of robot made him obsolete.

Who here knows Sol badguy or Ragna?

Sol's pretty cool. Though I don't like the BlazBlue cast too much. I think GG's designs are generally nicer.

Who here knows Sol badguy or Ragna?

I do. Sol is my preferred Arc System Works rep but Ragna is a very close second.

I really want the one in the middle. Actually I want all of them. I'd buy battlefield DLC's.

I'm all for Arc System Works if it means getting some Daisuke Ishiwatari goodness.

Took Banjo for a spin on Quickplay for the first time... I'd say it went pretty well:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

My parents are visiting right now and their dog just went to sleep on my leg. It's cute but now I'm trapped in bed because I don't want to wake her up.

I'm worried she'll cut off circulation to my foot and I'll have to have in amputated in the morning. Send help.

Just eat the dog. Save your foot from amputation, have a full stomach, and enter a dark depression over the choices that you've made.

I'm going back to bed.

Ah yes, the human guilt trip of presuming waking our dogs "interferes" with the natural order of things. Gets us every time

Man, Terry is the first DLC character since Bayonetta in Smash 4 that i'm super excited to play. 3 months until getting Terry suuuuucks.

It's 2 months, my friend.

3?

September to October.

October to November.


They're almost assuredly going to release him before Sword/Shield drops.

I dunno guys. I feel like they're going to release him at the end of november. Especially since november 25th is when the og fatal fury came out. Just seems to make sense.

ChronoBound made an interesting observation: with the current character select screen, there is room for three more characters after the Fighters Pass.

If we only got three characters after the Fighters Pass, I wonder if fans would feel let down, thinking we'd get another full blown season bare minimum.

 

[ZephyrZ]

The amount of open slots on the CSS has never been, and never will be, a reliable way to predict the final character count. Especially since the second wave DLC wasn't planned ahead of time.

Not all numbers form perfect rectangles, and if the final character count just so happens to land on one of those numbers then you end up with blank spots. And Sakurai isn't exactly the type to go "hmm well I had wanted to add 4 characters, but 3 fits the CSS perfectly so let's just stop at there".


That said I'm all for keeping expectations in check. I voted "2" in the poll at the top of the thread for a reason.

I mean, I hope it'd be more just to push Jiggs back onto the top row.

The CSS is just ugly as sin rn.

More DLC was decided on months ago, so hypothetically speaking, if they settled on 3 internally, they could rearrange the CSS to allow for 3 more spots once Banjo got in.

I'm thinking 3-5 for the time being. Voted 4 in the poll. I doubt it's only 2 if they're announcing it this early.

I did some tinkering based around the "3 more characters due to CSS" theory, but if we get 4 fighters or more, we can still get something aesthetically pleasing like this:

The reason the CSS has seen such a radical change is because the bottom row kinda needs to be filled out first before we shift back to rows of 13 again, otherwise the bottom row will be really small and look absolutely ridiculous, and also it'd split the Mii Fighters. With Banjo's release the bottom row would literally just be taken up by the random button, so they had to do some shifting around, it's not really related to the news that we're getting more DLC.

I think reading into the CSS too much won't reap many results, not just because of the mess Smash 4 ended up as, but also because the CSS is customizable, and looks different in modes like Smashdown and Squad Strike.

*Everyone a few days ago*

"HOLY **** FIGHTERS PASS 2!"

*Me, like the 10IQ genius I am*

"Guys, they're saying the DLC will be sold separately, no mention of a bundle."

They were going to have to change it to make more space after Hero anyway, and they can just do it again if they end up adding more characters.

For the short term they're going to fill up as much of the screen as they can. There isn't exactly room for 60-ish more characters on the starting roster - the roster changes to fit more characters as you unlock more. If we get more then 3 characters, I'm sure it's going to be the same with DLC.

The amount of open slots means nothing.

Possible, but


Pretty much anything that releases the week of or after Sw/Sd is being sent out to die.


If people ask "Who's Terry?" now, it's going to be even worse if he's released near or after Pokemon.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Also, as a reminder, this is what Smash 4's final CSS looked like.

Lovely, isn't it?

Smash fans always feel let down and go ape**** over the smallest things

Also, gonna sound harsh but...


Why does 4's roster and renders in general look so.... plastic?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Took Banjo for a spin on Quickplay for the first time... I'd say it went pretty well:

I see that you're using the best Banjo alt. Good taste.

They emote significantly less and have dynamic poses overal compared to Ultimate's more expressive and action-y poses

 

[ZephyrZ]

A part of it is probably because they look kind of stiff, as if they're staying still. Ultimate renders meanwhile show some movement. Just look at Marth for example. Both renders have him standing around holding his sword, but the second one shows his hair, tunic and cape flying in the wind more.

Spoiler: Large

And now that I'm looking at it, his eyes are much more brightly colored in the Ultimate render as well, which makes them stand out more.

Grunty alt turned me into a BK main overnight, honestly. I just saw it and went "holy ****, I want to play as that forever." Made up for no Dragon Kazooie.

K. Rool will probably always be my primary main but I really want to get just as good with Banjo. I didn't think I would play him this much but his moveset is perfect. In a way the rest of the DLC almost feels extraneous to me because there's no way I'll play them anywhere near as much as the Rare Gang, but I love Smash too much to not have that complete roster (and stage list!).

I bought all the Smash 4 DLC, but Cloud and Mewtwo were the only characters I used more than 5-10 times. Joker I've used quite a bit and enjoyed, but I think I want to put all my focus into perfecting Banjo and getting him into Elite Smash alongside K. Rool.

I kind of made a mock up for the CSS myself, feel free to use them or change them around if you want.

Spoiler

If they want to fill the rectangle for OCD purposes

If we're getting another 5 character fighters pass.

If Masahiro Madman Sakurai decides he wants to fill out all 16 DLC dummy slots.

Have fun.

But yeah, its more or less to keep everything in order, if we get the 9th character things will probably shift back to normal.

Not to mention fabric materials are more detailed across the board.

The stitching is visible on areas like his hat and more detailed and pronounced on his overalls, gloves etc.

[Z25]

See I agree that the main css slots can be unrealiable.

The WOL ones imo confirm at least 11 more characters as the DLC is actively filling those slots up. Which to me means that was planned ahead. Especially when the main CSS has 30 slots not filled.

That to me says the WOL are more likely to all be used
