The Bandicoot Returns (and It's About Time!) Crash's Nitro-Fueled Smash Thread

[Rie Sonomura]

Alternatively, since it is a pack, maybe Coco will be bundled with Crash a la Pyra & Mythra?

 

[AnEasterEgg]

Yeah, I don't think it's impossible that a DLC fighter could include an echo fighter, but it also doesn't seem especially likely. I'm going to treat this like most leaks, probably fake.

 

[Faso115]

Thats a lot of exclusive stuff for mii costumes and its not like there is a precedent with both Hero and Sephiroth being mostly stuff about them or the company involved.

Now it feels like the user just copy pasted the mii pass on Sephiroth's patch and did an Activision themed one but its not out of the realm of possibility.

For now, fake until its not.

 

[Megadoomer]

Alternatively, since it is a pack, maybe Coco will be bundled with Crash a la Pyra & Mythra?

My guess is, if we get an echo fighter, they'd be bundled with another character rather than being their own pack. (it might be a bit much to give an echo fighter their own stage, set of music tracks, spirits, etc.) I could see Coco being bundled with Crash as an added bonus, but I'm not sure if she'd get her own separate pack in the Fighters Pass. (especially with there only being two characters left)

 

[Brother AJ]

Okay... can someone tell me why we're giving this the time of day? This was just a random reddit post from some anon?

 

[GolisoPower]

Wasn't there a leak a while back about a massive-scale leak from a publisher that was considered "out-of-character"? That publisher might've been Activision, come to think of it.

EDIT: Yeah, it's this one:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I thought that was confirmed to be square enix?

I don't think that was entirely confirmed. I mean, they didn't say anything about who that publisher is, tbh. Whoever said it was Square must've been a different person, iirc.

Fake!

 

[SWSU]

Yeah I heard it was Square too.

 

[Brother AJ]

I'm about to get all worked up over nothing aren't I?

I thought that was confirmed to be square enix?

I saw a Twitter post on the DLC general thread that said it was SE, but I wasn't sure how they knew that to be the case...

 

[CannonStreak]

Fake!

Not doubting you, but why do you say that?

 

[TDDolphin]

Not doubting you, but why do you say that?

Because it looks like every other leak that had potentially true info on other games while faking Smash info to get people to actually pay attention to it.

Maybe, but it was deleted before. Unless deleting it is done to make themselves look credible, who knows? We'll have to wait until the Summer Games Festival comes in order for us to know if this is real or not, unless something else debunks it.

Tweets get deleted all the time. Especially Smash-related ones, and they NEVER lead to any reveals.

If you say so. I won't make my full judgement until something comes up or when the Summer Game Fest comes.

But I am leaning fake due to the echo thing.

 

[Brother AJ]

SIGH... About two more weeks. Chants to self Two more weeks, two more weeks... I'm so ready for this to be over.

Me too honestly. Go Crash Bandicoot!

 

[CannonStreak]

Maybe it is fake. I just found out that Wings Of Fury, the supposed name for Spyro 4, is the name of a The Legend of Spyro fangame.

 

[volbound1700]

Leak would be awesome but I doubt it is real.

 

[Noipoi]

I'm so ready for this to be over.

Been doing this for 3 years...let it end!

I know he's not the most popular person around here, but Liam Robertson brought up a good point: this just feels like a patchwork of fan theories about what's going on.

Also, for what it's worth, Liam has gone on record and stated that Wumpa League (or at least, the version he saw) was nothing like Crash Bash.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

You know, I've been doing some thinking: what if the next DLC slots have only 1 3rd party character left? If you think about it, let's review the DLC character list so far:

Piranha Plant
Joker
The Hero
Banjo
Terry
Byleth

Min-Min
Steve
Sephiroth
Pyra/Mythra
DLC 10
DLC 11

When you think about it, only 4/10 of the DLC roster are from first party. It is very possible we could get any of the following:

A. 2 3rd parties
B. 1 3rd party
C. 1 3rd and 1 1st party
D. 1 1st party
E. 2 1st parties

Could be possible that Nintendo wants to add some of their own characters instead of letting DLC being strongly 3rd party. Maybe I'm reading too much into this or my anxiety of Crash not making it spiking up with all these comments/rumors/videos going on about Crash. I'm hoping that it's at least B or C for E-3, but we all know how good of a curveball Sakurai likes to throw at us and we could get a D or E instead.

There are a few 1st parties that would make too much sense at e3, but I wonder if they still believe that e3 is for hype 3rd parties?

 

[Dukefire]

We still don't know if Nintendo will either do a single or double reveal. It might be just one reveal as FP2 is almost over. It is only a matter of time before the truth arrives at E3.

I rather trust what CGE says about it then Liam. At least then CGE isn't a two face.

I can't envision what first party character we could get that would be able to carry a solo E3 reveal... Maybe Waluigi, but I still can't really see that happening.

I'm thinking C. It's borderline confirmed there's going to be a Double Reveal, and I think there's only One First Party and One Third Party left lol.

What makes you say that it's borderline confirmed?

 

[JOJONumber691]

What makes you say that it's borderline confirmed?

In Sakurai's Latest Column, he said that were probably getting the Remaining Stuff for this game revealed soon, so I have a suspicion that this may have been a cheeky way to hint at another Double Reveal.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

What makes you say that it's borderline confirmed?

That Smash Ultimate’s DLC will end “soon” according to Sakurai

however, there is a rumor that CP11 will be revealed at Tokyo Game Show but take that with a grain of salt as Nintendo seldom attends TGS

I see. I suppose you could also interpret that statement to just mean it's ending this year, but you may both be right! A double reveal is what I'm hoping for right now...

So late September/early October. That's about a 3.5 months wait. Not sure if any of us want to wait that long for the final one, but I have a good feeling this one will reveal the 3rd party

If it’s AT TGS, it could be a third party that has more Japan appeal and would do better at TGS. so probably not Crash if that’s the case

I'm sure whoever wrote this up confused Coco echo for an alt, but Coco as an alt for Crash just can't happen as cool as it sounds.

For something like a platformer it's not so much of an issue, but for Smash for them to occupy the same slot would require them to share the same hitboxes, and Coco and Crash have wildly different proportions. Not to mention the fact that the Crash team has gone out of it's way to give Coco unique animations and ways of performing Crash's techniques, so them sharing a slot would mean copying Crash's moveset and it wouldn't feel right for Coco to do the bodyslam the way Crash does.

I'll tell you what happened here, someone came up with a BS list and then kept it up just long enough to be noticed and then deleted it to make it look more legit so they could fool some people.

I wouldn't buy this for a second

 

[Faso115]

Those who are under the belief that a first party cant carry an E3 reveal

Palutena and Mii fighters were revealed on E3.

Im not saying they were hype, just that E3 2019 was the only time Third parties were revealed. (Unless you count E3 2013 which had Megaman)

I mean you're right, but I also may wanna remind you that PAC-MAN was also revealed at the same E3 as Palutena and Miis. I understand your point, just wanted to throw that out there.

Palutena was pretty hype for me, ngl. She was actually my most wanted character for Smash 4 cause I was such a big Kid Icarus: Uprising fan back then

 

[JOJONumber691]

Then again, I feel Crash would probably be treated like Ridley, being an amalgamation of his various incarnation. Doing this would also help with giving Crash and Coco the same proportions in order to make them skins.
