Black Widow
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Space Jam: Legacy
The Suicide Squad
Eternals
F9
Encanto
No Time To Die

Potentially the films I expect to see making the top 10 this year in terms of box-office numbers. In no particular order.

Of course depending if anything different changes with COVID though I expect things to be better by then given the rollout of vaccines.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

On topic of speculation but I know most of the time I'm gonna get it wrong. I'm mainly here cause some of you guys are pretty cool and are friends.

Plus I've already gotten one of my most wanted in (a second Xenoblade rep) and the others I want is a bit unlikely (Arc System Works rep, Trails rep, Crash it seems, Saber etc.).

My main hope is just for the DLC to end smoothly that is all.

On the flipside if those characters actually make it in you get to laugh in their faces about it.

Like me and Joker lol

Still feel like Joker should have been near the end of Fighter Pass 2. I just wanted a few more tracks from Royal and Strikers and a few more character cameos.

Aw man. You are trying though.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Do you guys expect DLC to end with a bang, a whimper or somewhere between?

I'm expecting somewhere between.

 

[MooMew64]

Do you guys expect DLC to end with a bang, a whimper or somewhere between?

I'm expecting somewhere between.

That's a subjective thing, TBH.

I'm already satisfied, so it'll end well for me personally no matter what at this point.

 

[Lamperouge]

I'm expecting somewhere between.

Anything is fine with me at this point.

I already got what I wanted.

I got who I wanted, but I'd rather have a bang

I'm expecting somewhere between.

I feel like no matter what the end of smash ultimate is going to feel underwhelming compared to Sephiroth

 

[Shroob]

I'm good for anything tbh.


I don't really care how it ends, I just wanna know who they are.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

It feels weird to think about how close we are to the end of this wild ride.

 

[Shroob]

It feels weird to think about how close we are to the end of this wild ride.

It'll be bittersweet when it ends.


But when it does, I'd be lying if I said I won't be glad it's over.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I'm expecting somewhere between.

Would love it to have a redone "Everyone is Here!" trailer and a thank you fighter/stage/mode like having an older version of Battlefield/Final Destination. I know some people who aren't fond of that idea.

And also I've gotten who I wanted as well.

It feels weird to think about how close we are to the end of this wild ride.

I don't wanna leave here but it feels like I should.

Once the last DLC is out, find ways to keep talking to people who I consider friends here, place the foundations in firmly and then move out my friend. Been more welcomed here than other places in the past.

3 years of support ain't bad, but man did it feel longer tham that.

 

[Shroob]

2020 will do that to ya.

 

[Lamperouge]

Still feel like Joker should have been near the end of Fighter Pass 2. I just wanted a few more tracks from Royal and Strikers and a few more character cameos.

The lack of Royal content really stings, especially since we know that the Smash team was definitely aware of it because Joker has the grappling hook.

But we all know that it's really being saved for when Kasumi makes it in

 

[TheMightyP]

2020 will do that to ya.

Made a mistake: it was 4 years of support.

2018, 2019, 2020, 2021.

Still felt longer than that however. Damn quarantine

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I don't miss the days of people complaining about how one newcomer "stole the slot" of another character.

Smash Ultimate speculation has had it's ups and downs but if you take the Grinch/Banner leak out of the equation, I'd say the Smash 4 speculation days might have had it worse.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Watching 12 Days of Terror yesterday. I definitely think we're due for another movie adaption based on the events of the 1916 Jersey Shark Attacks. This one I know was made for TV and for what it was I found it to be decent, the next adaption should be a theatrical movie or at least a higher budget with more well-known actors and a higher budget.

Surprised it has yet to have been done given the real events of this inspired what would become one of the biggest Summer blockbuster hits known as Jaws in 1975. Which even if made definitely won't top that film, no shark movie present or future most likely never will.

Well we only had like 4 DLC slots, and they had to make it count. Ryu and Cloud were fantastic additions.

 

[Deleted member]

Well gee, I wonder what this new button doe-

Spoiler

They really just added a feature that is literally just tiktok to the app, huh.

My favorites from that era:
"SAKURAI BIAS!"
"SAKURAI HATES DK!"
"LAZY SAKURAI!"
"DARK PIT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN K. ROOL!"
"SAKURAI HATES METROID!"
"RIDLEY IS DEFINITELY IN! JUST BECAUSE THEY TEASED HIM AS A BOSS DOESN'T DECONFIRM HIM!"
"DUCK HUNT? REALLY?"
"MORE KOOPALINGS?!"
"WHERE'S K. ROOL?!!?!?!?!?!"

I'm still undecided on what I'm gonna do when the last character finally drops. This thread in particular was never centered on Smash news and I'm sure there will be other things to talk about, so I might stick around a little while longer. Call me old school but forums like this one just appeal to me more than most social media platforms.

I personally am going to stay in this thread long after the final wave of DLC drops and most of the regulars are long gone.

Smashboards should may as well be called “socialthreadboards” to me, because this thread is literally the only thread I check.

Same, ive never really jelled well in facebook, i only really use it to talk with family who live in different parts of the world.

 

[Guynamednelson]

I'm expecting somewhere between.

A whimper by 2021 standards, a bang by 2018 standards.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm gonna continue to stick around. Wish everyone would stay but I'll respect their wishes if they choose to leave (At least until Smash 6 or an Ultimate Deluxe Edition comes around).

Granted I might not socialize and talk as much.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I still find it funny how I look at how much my life has progressed throughout the entirety of the cycle. And how I almost died pretty close to E3 2018 and when the news of it was bubbling.

I was also lurking here back then. Still think joining here was the best decision anyways as I wouldn't have been friends with now people who are part of a major social pillar of my life.

That server on Discord we have isn't the most active so you can always use it. I personally still want to be talking to yourself and a few others somehow when I am done here though.
Maybe another way that isn't Discord but not as in your face or revealing as like anything owned by Facebook.

Least you guys are in the same boat as me on that. I prefer keeping online friendships but like IRL keep them small and close. That's just my opinion.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, idk where to go because tbh you guys are one of the few people that I can just "nerd out" too if that makes sense.

I'll probably go to Discord and check back every so often.

I deleted facebook a long time ago because I literally only used it to play some of those weird browser based games they offered, and occasionally to link to mobile games for extra rewards. I don’t even want to think about all the data they harvested(and probably still do tbh.)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm rather saddened this run is coming to an end. It was fun while it lasted even if for a while now I've been exhausted in speculation. Mostly because its fun socializing with all of you guys but that'll likely come around again when Smash 6 is around the corner which might not be for 5 or so years.

We all planning to come back when Smash 7 rolls around like it's some high school reunion lol

For a moment I thought that was from A:TLAB.

Though I could see based on it you took inspiration from that.

 

[Shroob]

As soon as this ****'s over, I'm oooooooooooooooooutta 'ere.



.............. eh, no, probably not. My soul is bound here like a djinn to a lamp.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I feel like everybody forgets that Smash 4 is technically counted as 2 different games so Smash ultimate IS Smash 6.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

Once this is all over, I will take my leave and depart from here. It has been fun speculating and socializing with you guys.

There is no Smash Wii U in Ba Sing Se

Until Smash 6 or a Deluxe Edition of Ultimate announced. You'll be coming back running in here.

I wish that Bardock can be brought back. He's the father of a prodigy after all and a old favorite next to Android 18 and Sasha. Piccolo and Tien are honorable mentions, however. Time Breaker or Xeno Bardock is something else in feats and his dramatic finish in Dragon Ball Fighter Z is perfect for his affection for his fallen comrades.

I always saw the Bardock from the Broly movie as to rectify his pain causing gratification for biological power with the safety of his son. That was sweet, but bittersweet for him to die again. -_-
