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

It certainly breaks that leak apart. Tho doesn't 100% deconfirm it since they could've scrapped jack frost. But just saying it, dont count me to back up the 5ch leak

iirc polarpanda was able to verify that it was at least partially true (the part about the P5 fighting game being internally delayed for the granblue fighting game), so that would be my first assumption.
that said though who knows, at the end of the day we just have to wait and see

 

[TheCJBrine]

You mean like Nintendo and Microsoft being buddy-buddy, or is there a new leak I'm not aware of?

'Cause if they're making me wait til E3, they better bring ****ing Banjo to make up for it.

it's not a leak, but the Loot Crate stuff, Minecraft employees backtracking, Phil Spencer, and whatever they talked about in the Banjo thread regarding the Inside XBox thing. Apparently Phil has been getting good relations or something with companies in Japan, and they're hoping to make E3 really big...?

Also, if Minecraft was truly being used as leakbait, then it makes me think they really are working together, because otherwise there was no reason to use Minecraft at all; similar to how they made Xander Mobus announce Rayman's name in Smash 4, despite him only being a trophy.

insider rumors make it seem likely as well, even if PolarPanda's source only heard Banjo from one guy, though Ryce is confident in him (though it's only his opinion and not because of info I think so I guess that doesn't matter, but who knows whether he heard something or not).

I'm so excited to use GUN in Smash, the character we deserved.

First it got it's own Pokemon game, now it has a spot in Smash. What can Gun not do?

not only that, but GUN KIRBY!

 

[EarlTamm]

not only that, but GUN KIRBY!

I won't lie, I am a little sad we won't hear Kirby scream "Persona!", but with the way Arsene works that would have been impossible anyway. It is a great substitute though.

Kirby with a gun makes up for it, let's be real. Kirby with a gun, a real, actual pistol, was always a meme. Now, it is a real thing.

I can't wait for all the meme screenshots that'll inevitably come with this.

I think this also helps solidify Bayo as Jokers mom.

They both have gun specials.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Can't believe they Shadow Dropped a Smash Direct.

 

[Untouch]

Also, official confirmation that the extra 6 slots will be taken up by character DLC, which leaves one more.


So...

1. Another page for DLC stages if they do another season pass.
2. There's one extra stage planned, maybe Minecraft?

Having just one extra would be kinda weird though. I imagine it's just an awkward situation caused by the current amount of stages not fitting a perfect square. In any case, it at least hints at more to come, as I don't think they would leave the select screen like that with no plans for anything further.

 

[Nemuresu]

Well, my honest thoughts on Joker: he's what I expected him to play like: a mixture between Dante and a stand-user from Capcom's Jojo fighter. The only thing I didn't expect was that invoking Arsene would work like a comeback mechanic.
Can't wait to try him out.

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Well, at least Geno's costume should end up coming back alongside Erdrick's challenger pack. Woo. It's something. Hopefully he'll have a chance if and only if we get future passes.

If it doesn't come back with Erdrick's pack, though, I will riot.

Honestly, given the the fact that there's no Jack Frost or Jane present, we have no idea what position Erdrick is actually in. What with the 5chan leak finally getting toppled.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Didn't PolarPanda say the P5R and P5U or whatever stuff in the 5chan leak was right?

I don't think it's dead yet, this is more like a Vergeben situation (some stuff is right, something is wrong).

I think the leak with all the DLC characters can be burned, though.

edit: please correct me if I'm saying misinfo.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Have we seen all of Joker's Taunts?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I know one thing about this that's lame and it's not Joker or Stage Builder.

It's this new precedent now set by Nintendo to make people pay once again for the very same Mii Fighter Costumes they already purchased last game's DLC.

 

[Untouch]

Have we seen all of Joker's Taunts?

Yeah, and they specifically mention Morgana.
There doesn't seem to be much SMT content at all.
Could be something that was changed late in development.

That was the one thing that tipped me off when I first saw Tails and Knuckles.

Really?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

T

That was the one thing that tipped me off when I first saw Tails and Knuckles.

Really?

Can't wait for E3 where they reveal Erdrick to a resounding ''Who?" from North America, followed by the ''HERE NORTH AMERICAN FAN WANT GENO. YOU'RE BACK AS A COSTUME FOR 75 CENTS."

It's going to go over SOOOOOO well for them.

It... It at least helps Banjo's chances, I guess? Western fan favorite to offset the lesser known character with a resold Mii costume of a fan favorite?

At least Erdrick is cute and tiny, and I have accepted him. He's very cute. Very small.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

If you noticed when they first shown the custom stage selection, two of the custom stages shown on the screen were titled Dragon and featured Dragons. It might be hints that Erdrick is dlc character number 2

I doubt it. Stuff like that is usually means nothing, especially when it can be so broad. Just ask the Isaac fanbase.

 

[ZelDan]

it's a good thing I don't give a **** about Mii fighter or Mii costumes.

The video creating/editing feature is one of those things that sound really cool, until I remember I'm lazy.

I remember them mentioning Morgana appearing, but I couldn't remember if it encompassed all three taunts or not.

Fire Emblem has you fight dragons
The final boss of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade is literally called "Dragon"
Smash fans are already paranoid Nintendo would be adding Edelgard to Smash as DLC

FIRE EMBLEM CONFIRMED

 

[helloiamhere]

Sakurai tweeted that each DLC fighter will come with a new set of Spirit Battles with its own menu like Joker. That has some potentially big ramifications IMO.

That just probably cements the theory where all five will be guests. Can't see them including someone like Rex when the spirit library is already vast on that regard.

All of the returning costumes that we got on the base game were the ones from Nintendo. This might be the other companies' fault instead.

 

[PrettyIvyPearls22]

So, Jack Frost doesn't even show up in Joker's moveset at all! That basically gives that whole leak with Joker and Erdrick debunked, again who knows what the Square character is. I think some people are getting paranoid. If we do get Erdrick great, but if we don't, I wouldn't be surprised if they really through a doozy on us this entire time, and think we should expect a certain character and the Square character ends up being completely left field like Sora or Chrono.

 

[EarlTamm]

I think each of the seven Squares are safe in this regard. Besides the series that are not represented, Final Fantasy has no spirits and SMRPG only has two, one of which would be the fighter. There is more than enough from both games to fill out a spirit board.

Edit: I can't believe I put "already" instead of "not."

So, another point towards Spirits disconfirming and DLC being all third parties.

Shocker

You're right. But frankly, I still expect all of them to be brand-new franchises.
Mainly just because we're talking about four IPs already in the game that can make exclusive spirit boards (Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy and Super Mario RPG) vs a giant sea of franchises with hundreds, if not, thousands of characters that can be included as fighters and spirits.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'd be annoyed about paying for Mii Costume DLC if... it wasn't an entirely different game. It'd have been nice for them to be base game, though. But I expected Mii DLC costumes either way. Didn't matter to me which ones it was, cause I'm getting 'em all anyway~

The DLC costumes should've been ones that weren't in 4, as the rest should've been base game, imo. I get why the 3rd party companies want more money, that said. Makes sense. Annoying, sure, but logical.

I guess, but it's clear that the spirit boards are being made just to avoid conflict with the main game spirits.

 

[helloiamhere]

I mean... people did pay for returning characters in Smash 4 DLC. I don't agree with it but I can understand it. I really hate how all 3 Mii fighters play but I'll still get the Persona ones just because I really like the series.

Same. Screw it, though, even if I didn't want to buy them, I'd still get Yu's because Yu Mii, Mii Yu? Listen. I cannot pass that up.

As if Super Mario RPG didn't have a whole set of additional characters they can use as Spirits (Booster, Croco, Bowyer, Smithy, etc)
