The hero of Dragon Quest III, Erdrick, joins the battle!

[Koopaul]

(so people in the west can’t complain).

People are always going to complain no matter what. This is something that I've learned with Smash. It's never good enough.

 

[Teeb147]

I hope May 27 is something special. Like worldwide release of Dragon Quest 1-3 on the switch perhaps.

What's your current pfp at the moment?

 

[Teeb147]

What's your current pfp at the moment?

It's from the p5s trailer. you can see it at the end of it (around 1:10)

[Yatanagi]

One of the arts remember me that I was going to say other day that not only we have Dragon Quest Day this 05/27, but 06/10 is Roto Day[6=Ro 10=To]. This leave not only SE or Nintendo E3 to the announcement but also this two days.

Very nice!

Two things just for the future, it can be better put art in spoiler tags if there's more than 2-3. (sometimes i leave one or two out instead of 'only' putting them in spoilers)
And also dont forget you have to post a bit of text in your posts too to keep within the forum rules.

I think that's a fanmade holiday, but it'd be fun to see Erdrick announced a day after (or the day of in JPN timezones) Roto Day.

 

[Teeb147]

In case y'all didn't know, Nintendo uploaded a private video on the smash channel so people think there could be a reveal sometime (maybe soon or this month).
All speculation of course, but interesting to be curious about

Thanks for reminding me Teebs

Is it fanmade? I found fan art that also had Roto Day on it from the fanart I posted. Of course I need to look into it haha.

Well, since it had a spring 2019 window, i dunno if they need a direct to mention the release date, but it would make sense in a way.
If a character trailer is part of it like has happened in the past then the private video could be there ready for the direct to come around.

It'd be nice because it could also be a great opportunity to talk about DQ more like they've mentioned

I have good feeling about it, really good ones. The less important videos they usually casually drop on the end of the day, they usually did this for announcements.
Also, could they want to finally test the Premiere function?

 

[shinhed-echi]

It’s kind of meh, but I felt like drawing my current most wanted, on a whiteboard.

Characters made in the east, vs characters made in the west.
(And the one in the middle is Mike Jones, who was made by the east only for the west).

P.S. I’ve always sucked at drawing Ryu Hayabusa, like holy hell.

 

[NomadLuminary]

I just want E3 to come sooner.

Anyone you'd want outside of Erdrick. I know people have been speculating a second rep

I can't wait for E3 2020

 

[Teeb147]

Anyone you'd want outside of Erdrick. I know people have been speculating a second rep

Do you mean a second SE rep, or another dlc fighter?

If not DQ, For me I'd go with Terra or Agnes from SE.
Impa or Bandana Dee for a 1st party character.

But if it's another 3rd party character, I'm actually not sure. I was looking at the best selling franchises and seeing some Blizzard ones got me thinking, what if Nintendo would try to work with them? Overwatch, Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, etc. There's some cool possibilities there.
I also like the Tales of series but not that great of a Lloyd fan. The Mana series is great too. Lots of swords there too tho

 

[Garteam]

My borderline never-ever is Lycanroc. He and Erdrick are the ones I really want to see.

Other than those two, I'm rather partial to Leon Kennedy and Bandana Waddle Dee, but they're a good deal below my two most wanted in priority. Otherwise, I'm interested in anything that may come our way.

 

[BZL8]

It would be funny if Nintendo and Sakurai decided to play up the Dragon Ball connections with Erdrick.

I feel Overwatch and Diablo are the choices if Blizzard got in. Since I know more of Overwatch, I'm guessing Tracer since I know she is fairly unique in her own right. Plus she is also arguably the protagonist.

This is generally what

Leon Kennedy is definitely my pick if we are talking solely Resident Evil.

I'd be so down. Literally have Erdricks hair turn blonde lol.

I was gonna mention Tracer but then I remembered how joker is already a new gunner character right now so I'm just thinking of the series as a whole for now. Imagine if D.va could get in :D

 

[Yatanagi]

In the gameplay segment he starts to charge a spell or tension and then a Kenshin Hero alt drop in front of him.

Imagine after a certain level of damage, D.Va has to get out of her mech which is a very dangerous position for her.

Ya that'd be like the opposite of joker in a way, you'd lose something if you take too much damage.
Altho maybe she could be faster like ZSS, which would be cool too.

The talk does make me realize tho that SE is the 3rd party company that has the most characters i like. I really do think it'd be cool if they could get 2 reps in dlc ;p

not gonna lie, I have fantasized about the idea. Not specifically about his avatar, but just him taking over the direct.

But I reckon it’d be some other staff member more involved with the marketing push in general, or Yuji Horii himself.

But man do I want a Sakurai interview video where he goes to the SE offices and hugs a Slime. In fact if Sakurai were to have an interview, explaining why DQ is important, most of the smash base at least will calm down. Sakirai’s influence is powerful. Remember when he branded “Echo Figters”? People stopped hating immediately.

Same to be honest. Would not mind having Sora come with Erdrick. That way both camps can be happy

Taken aback by how much of a good idea this is.

"Just have Sakurai come out and explain the appeal of Dragon Quest" is so simple, at least within the Smash context. Further work would need to be done within the general public to make the series more appealing, but in Smash? "Hi, I'm Masahiro Sakurai, Erdrick will be part of the Fighter's Pass because I love Dragon Quest so much, lemme explain why" just works, especially if he interviews the developers like in that video where he took a trip to Atlus for Joker.

 

[Rumble Red]

Yuji Horii's an easy guy to like; I'd love to see Sakurai get together with him for a little promo piece. Nothing too over-the-top, just a short, simple little segment. I only hope that they could find the time to film something like that. I know Horii's been sick recently, he couldn't make it to the last DQXI stream.

I might have imagined this, but I swear I saw someone, somewhere, claim earlier today that Yosuke Saito had shot down the possibility of 2B getting into Smash. I'm curious whether that's legit, not so much because of 2B, but because apart from NieR, Saito's also been a producer on DQX and DQXI, so there's a decent chance he would be in the know about a DQ/Smash collab. Potentially kind of interesting that he'd have anything to say about Smash at all, if he actually did.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Potentially kind of interesting that he'd have anything to say about Smash at all, if he actually did.

I was the one who made the post on this forum that brought attention to 2B's deconfirmation. Saito was probably in a position to deconfirm 2B since the NieR series was passed on; he explicitly said that "NieR was regrettably not invited to Smash Bros, but choosing is up to Sakurai-kun isn't it".

The fact that Saito was pretty open about discussing NieR in Smash is most definitely a sign that NieR is not in, since Saito most likely wouldn't be allowed to make even the slightest hint towards such a possibility (unless he's unaware of the character choices made between Nintendo and Square-Enix, which is highly unlikely due to Saito's senior position within the latter company, or he's lying in order to cover tracks, which while plausible, doesn't seem likely as well).

There's also the fact that ResetEra insider Tansut, who's known to have a source within Square-Enix, has spoken only about a Dragon Quest character, and not any other character.

That said, I think Saito probably wouldn't be able to utter a single word about the possibility of Dragon Quest and Smash Bros, unlike with NieR. In the same interview, I don't think he was ever pressed on a Dragon Quest-Smash collaboration, but I would think he would dodge the question if asked.

That said, given his position as the current producer of Dragon Quest as of X, he would most likely be aware of (and most likely supervise) a Dragon Quest-Smash collaboration.
