[SPOILER ALERT] - The Sevens Squares. - A Square-Enix general support threads.

I mean when I was 6 my doctor said I was brave so the evidence is pretty damning is you ask me.

my god @Onereasonanddone is the next DLC fighter welp pack it up guys were done here

 

[Sigran101]

It's very fun watching people try and make up various longwinded tales on why it May Not Be Erdrick, Actually

It's not just making stuff up. The datamine isn't a hint, it's a codename designed to hide who the character is. Square Enix is good at leakbait, yet everyone and their mother apparently knows who it is. It's still most likely Erdrick, but don't just make fun of people who don't agree with you that he's as good as confirmed.

he's a marth echo too...

 

[shocktarts17]

My uncle at Nintendo told me that they were actually going to reclassify Marth as a @Onereasonanddone echo.

So Lucina would be an echo of an echo of @Onereasonanddone?

...Sounds legit.

Actually oddly enough Lucina got reclassed to Tactician and will now be a Robin echo thus confirming the Chrobin ship and Lucina as Robin's canon daughter. It's going to be a very weird announcement video.

On a slightly more serious note, I don’t think Erdrick is 100% practically confirmed, but I’d be lying if is said I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t get in. Just has too much pointing to him. Then again I thought Geno was pretty likely in base game too.


Also attention yes!

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Yeah I thought Shadow was the surest thing back when Isabelle was confirmed. A little caution never hurt anybody.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Basically, everything that has been said.

I think Erdrick has a high chance. 80% from the data, +5% from a personal hunch of a DQ character being in.

But yeah, I'm cautious because I don't want to get "Not enough rings"ed at the last second like it happened with Issac and Shadow.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Pretty much my stance as well. For as likely as Erdric may seem, the only time he's 100% in for sure is when we see that trailer roll in.

As one of my mains would say, "Anything can change!".

It wouldn't be the first major turnabout that's baited, trapped, countered, and KO'd that which seemed inevitable at first.

If Erdrick wasn't by far the most probable DQ rep, I'd say these stats remind me of Slime.
How slippery he is, and how he can't walljump.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm hoping for Erdrick but I wouldn't say he is 100% certain, and while things are looking good, I agree with DQ fans in let's wait and see.

Man, even though I really want BD in Smash...

As long as this is for Switch, I'll be happy.

If it's for 3DS, I swear... I'm gonna throw something.

Imagine if it turned out to be slime lmfao.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Erdrick is wearing slime boots.

 

[Flyboy]

It's a Slime in a tank.

 

[ZelDan]

Erdrick is wearing slime boots.

Erdrick's entrance animation could be him stomping on some slimes on the way to the battlefield.

 

[Deleted member]

It’s Slime disguising itself as Erdrick in a desperate attempt to enter smash.

Dude they could always just shrink it down!

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Erdrick is just wearing a suit made out of a bunch of Slimes fused together and they're just working as a symbiotic pair in Smash. Basically think Venom or any of the wearable stands from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (White Album, Oasis, etc)

 

[Deleted member]

It's Slime who absorbed Erdrick so he can now shapeshift into them at will so the one we have in Smash is technically both.

 

[shocktarts17]

Slime uses Erdrick in one of his attacks and has a taunt that just pulls out 8-bit versions of all the other DQ protagonists.

 

[Deleted member]

On the topic of slime costumes...

This one is from DQIX

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Lol. I kinda hope it's Slime.

That's way way way way way more interesting than Erdrick and you can all fight me.

He's also a little more recognizable as a known face of gaming worldwide than Erdrick is as well.

IIRC, Slime was in Mario Sports Mix and Fortune Street and Erdrick wasn't, right?

Checkmate Erdrick fans (jk)

 

[Luigi The President]

You of all people should know how victory can get snatched away by the jaws of last minute defeat.

I was there and I never gave up. Just like with Phoenix Wright.

Until confirmation happens I'm hesitant. I've been btfo way too many times.

I would like that,, but given the timing, I can't really tell whether or not Tansut saw more than just the datamine. If he has his own sources that's something else entirely.
no

If there is ONE thing I’ve learned from Smash speculation, it’s that you NEVER bank on a character getting in.

Cause that’s usually the time when you don’t get what you expect.

Reminder to self; never try the advice thing again

It's not just making stuff up. The datamine isn't a hint, it's a codename designed to hide who the character is. Square Enix is good at leakbait, yet everyone and their mother apparently knows who it is. It's still most likely Erdrick, but don't just make fun of people who don't agree with you that he's as good as confirmed.

Honestly it's just to convince myself so it hurts less, if I'm going to be 100 with you. Sorry if it offended anyone. Was trying to reassure people, but I get why it didn't work out.

I know you had good intentions buddy.

But if everyone was confident in Erdrick and the Square/"Brave" rep ended up not being him, then we'd have another Grinch leak scenario on our hands.

I'd rather not have Erdrick fans go through what many other character fans have already dealt with.

 

[Calane]

Wasn't "Brave" listed as being medium sized, fairly heavy, and the 6th fastest faller? None of those things sound like they'd match Slime very well.

Slime would most likely be small, extremely light, and probably rather floaty.

(I realize you guys are kidding, but somebody's gotta be "that guy", so I took it upon myself!)

 

[Untouch]

Apparently "Brave"s actual size is one of the parameters, it's for linking up bones and animations.
According to Mizumi he's smaller that Mario, approximately Ness sized.

Very interesting, probably means it's Kid Erdrick.

No need to apologize! I'm pretty sure everyone here knows you as a friendly and respectful person. Everyone makes comments that come off the wrong way from time to time. I appreciate it though!

I'd say this debunks Yuri then as being Brave. So now it's down to BD and Erdrick.

Most sensible people: Erdrick

Me:

IT COULD STILL WORK!

 

[Deleted member]

I just want it to be Slime because I'm way too much into the slime anime.
