Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

I wonder.

3 hours from now, will we see Smash news? Will we see an announcement for future Smash news?

Will we find out Jack/Jane weren’t Joker to begin with?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m playing Crash Bandicoot right now. The first game off the N. Sane Trilogy. Probably my favorite one of the three because it’s relatively easy to complete and sticks to mostly pure platforming.

What do are you’re guys’s Opinions on the Crash Trilogy.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

One might say a Useless Lesbian

First of all I'm bi asshole

Second my brain is just a DVD screensaver but with my single braincell, whenever it bounces in the corner, I experience a Thought

 

[Deleted member]

C'mon guys, why would they reveal Jane if they have information specifically for their own reveal?

Jane is leakbait? Coincidence?
Hotel? Trivago.

[Gentlepanda]

In the Persona thing happening on the 24th, they reveal that F!Joker will be playable in Smash as a last surprise.

no this is actually very plausible

it would give extra attention to Royal's full reveal and feMC without having a surprise Direct suddenly take all the wind out of its sails

Jack/Jane is Erdrick, Brave is Joker. We cracked the code.

My opinion of the original Crash trilogy is inherently biased because 2 & 3 were childhood games for me.

Ouch, that's too late for me. Can someone tag me if we get any news about Persona/Joker?

 

[Pyra]

find out next time on smashboards z

But for real, my sources tell me that today will be very interesting for me haha

 

[Deleted member]

Reminder that they didn't show K Rool's armour gimmick. It's very possible that they could show off Joker, say his costumes ahve a surprise in them, and then at the Persona event show off Jane proper and then someone announces she'll be in smash too. Hey, could happen.

 

[KarneraMythos]

Wall-of-text ahead:

Alright, so I've got a new hypothetical in mind, and it's going to revive an old gag image I created last year when we were speculating about additional fighter slots. Here are two scenarios, each with their pros and cons:

Scenario A:

(Assume that Joker is already in the first 5 slots and that all other unknown DLC characters are predetermined and thus unchanged)
In this scenario, we enter a timeline where Sony mends its relationship with Nintendo and Microsoft. However, it gets the Lion's share of character promotions regarding any possible extension of Smash Ultimate's life-cycle, mainly due to their past history together before branching off. With that information all said and done, let's look over the benefits:

-Sony is more compliant with crossplay and deals involving its competitor companies, forming a friendly rivalry that cyclically aids them all

-Smash is made the first-ever Nintendo-made video game to be available on all major consoles, but is the only example in the industry

-All of the characters taken directly from Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale will get updates to their models and move-sets, but this is obvious

-In addition to that, none of the character designs are finalized, so you can still get Dante, but he would be based on the main version. Otherwise, why the **** would Sakurai bother bringing back the scrappy version when he vehemently rejected modern Pac-Man?

But now for the problems that might arise out of this deal:

-Due to the strenuous amount of copyrights that need to be juggled, Nintendo benefits way less out of this which may hurt the series' future for a sequel

-The Sony reps lose the uniqueness factor of their stages transitioning. Instead, we get stages from their respective home series to fit with Smash, which is hardly an issue when stage morph exists

-Purchasing these characters on any system besides Sony will be given a "Sony Tax" since the incentive is to purchase the Sony-published version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. How much that is all depends on it being close to a deal-breaker for you

-Finally, this entire scenario ultimately (no pun intended) means that the unknown four DLC characters are pretty much your only hope in getting your current Most-Wanted(s), assuming they aren't in this hypothetical roster already.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now for Scenario B:

Unlike Scenario A where we get 30 DLC slots, we get half the amount with just 15 total (Joker being included in that number already). In this scenario, Sony remains distant and aloof as far as competition goes, so the hope of seeing anything from either Sony or Microsoft is shot down entirely by the former, and fairly ambiguous for the latter. The silver lining to this is that anything pretty much goes, and while there's no guarantee fan favorites will make it in this hypothetical roster, there's a decent chance for it as we get 14 chances of our Most-Wanted(s) coming true. To wit:

-Fans of Namco will have at least three guaranteed reps by the end of the support cycle. One will be expected, and the other will be a wild card like Joker

-Microsoft being a bit more chummy with Nintendo means we could still get Banjo and Steve, and perhaps even Master Chief. This is as far as the goal posts go

-Characters who missed the mark, but are not quite support-heavy like Assist Trophies (i.e. Rex & Pyra, Geno, Magolor, etc.) get a chance at promotion. There's a catch however: Assume that the first Fighter's Pass is absent of promo choices, so no Spirit fighters yet (but eventually, for the second and/or third Fighter's Pass)

-One-third will cater to the West, another third will cater to the home country, and the last third will feature characters popular worldwide. Everyone gets a slice of the pie, so complaining about an obscure character will get you nowhere. This is not a negative, as you will have someone you like guaranteed, even if it's not necessarily a Most-Wanted. There is also no set order to when these characters appear

And like with Scenario A's caveats, we deal with a list for B's:

-At least one-third of the 15 characters are Nintendo shill picks, and of the sort that feel very late to the roster even from a DLC standpoint. Keep in mind, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. This scenario will inevitably upset a lot of other people too, even if fan-favorites find their way in the selection

-If a character does not make it into the 15 character slots, assume that this is their last chance ever to appear in any Smash game as a playable character ever again. They are relegated into minor cameo status at best and complete absence at worst. It's a gamble for your Most-Wanted, especially if it's a 1st-party character

-Mii costumes are a point of contention for many, so expect some characters to get deconfirmed with the inclusion of cosmetics. This could potentially affect anyone that is heavily requested, but still rejected for reasons Sakurai only knows. Some examples include Geno once again, and potentially Lloyd, but now with the addition of characters like Shantae and Elma

-For quality reasons, each pack and character announcement is spread out by at least 3 months of their announcement dates, meaning the wait for new information will be strenuous, and anything involving E3 will tone down Smash content overall in favor of other Nintendo-based software. Slow and unfortunate for Smashgoers and great for potentially the rest of Nintendo's userbase overall

With all of that said and done, which scenario would you guys go for?

A possible #SmashBros Ultimate announcement after the North American Open at #PAXEast? You must be Jokin’!

Hmmm.... Smash announcement?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Nope Nope Nope!

nah you're a cool guy

Not at all! I think you're a pretty cool person, I don't know you well enough to make a judgement but I think you're pretty cool.

I understand that you have some things you might need to work though but I don’t believe anyone here thinks you’re a bad person, myself included.

Thanks. And, sorry.

Yeah I’ll try to remember
I’ve used too much of my phones battery at the moment so I’ll be posting/checking in a bit less but I’ll be around when we may or may not get news

 

[Deleted member]

Imagine if we get a Character that no Leaker saw coming like Geno a First Party Character or something that would throw a wrench into things and make Speculation more interesting for sure.

Though I doubt it's going to happen, if we get a Character it's probably going to be Erdrick.

it's why we got an april 1st direct in 2015 without even a nod towards april fools

I don't think Joker will be the last surprise (hehe) DLC character, but Erdrick still seems likely.

 

[Pyra]

Hope you losers are ready for GLaDOS' reveal tonight.

Jokes aside, I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think it might be non-Joker news

It would be irritating because it would narrowly miss April, thus making the first part of my timeline only approximately accurate (ugh.) but yeah

Foolishness Smashboards, Foolishness.

Yeah, a curveball character would be nice.I remember thinking Grovyle was pretty likely for DLC before Joker. If that happens I'd cry tears of joy (but also a few of sadness because I would have to main incineroar for a few weeks for a bet)
