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

[Good Guy Giygas]

sakurai's big on souls in general

i don't think a souls rep would be first in running for a namco character, but if they wanted to go more 'unexpected' (like Joker) than tales of, throwing in solaire or gwyn out of nowhere would work wonders

I think a Souls character would be a bigger reveal than a Tales of character, but maybe that's just me.

Nice choice of characters, would suggest you to change a few for renders like Lora and Wonder Red.

tales or tekken are sort of the default assumptions for a second namco rep, given that they already have mii costumes in smash 4 so the consideration is there

but man can you just ****ing imagine

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Sakurai has played Bloodborne, so I would imagine it would be one of his picks should he have an opportunity to work with Sony on implementing a character.

I wonder if Sakurai likes Sekiro

 

[Ultomato]

Only problem is Zero and Sylux should be bigger. Who's the fifth guy?

Thats Rokusho, the superior yet lesser known of the two starter/mascot Medabots.

Honestly I kind of prefer Valkyrie, and Mappy. They both look fun to play.

Time to contribute some madness:

Which roster would y'all prefer-- Ultimate's roster or the "Chihuahua roster": https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77071304

Strawpoll here: https://www.strawpoll.me/17716462/r

For reference, this is a super infamous gamefaqs user who wants Sakurai fired and thinks they'd do a better job.

As someone who actually comes from the state of Chihuahua I say


Dis guy is a disgrace :V

I’ve got nothing to say.

So I’m just gonna post song lyrics.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Tekken is the bigger franchise by far.

Tales is the one with Nintendo fan appeal.

It's a doozy.

 

[Noipoi]

Put Yuri in so I can make doki doki jokes and gay anime jokes

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Look, I think a character from Tales would be.... honestly I'm indifferent. If I REALLY had to pick a second Bamco character it would probably be a Dark Souls character (an audience that definitely doesn't majorly overlap with Smash). It's just frustrating trying to predict because we really don't have enough data.

I can understand that, but if you don't believe "don't have enough data," then how can you make conclusions like "If Namco chooses it'll be Heihachi, if Nintendo chooses it'll be Lloyd?"

Personally I think the data is there, and it's just a matter of looking outside of our Smash Bubble to find it (hence my belief in certain characters), but that's just me.

Split the difference and put in Agumon.

I am retroactively disappointed

Hey, I'm the second biggest Agumon supporter on this thread, after Graizen.

I wonder what Ryu Cloud and Joker would think.

 

[BZL8]

What would people's reaction be if a Dark Souls rep is added to represent Namco instead of a Tales or Tekken rep?

Graizen is that you?

I feel like a solid middle ground between Tales of and Tekken would easily be KOS-MOS. She seems to be Namco's go-to girl when it comes to crossovers, so I could see her being added.

Something like

• Joker
• Erdrick
• Banjo
• KOS-MOS
• Leon Kennedy

Could sell as a whole very well. I just think Lloyd would fit better as a whole.

Hype.

I could finally say that Smash Bros. is the Dark Souls of fighting games.

 

[Noipoi]

Just checked out the place I’m gonna be moving to tomorrow.

On the downside it’s a little small. It’ll be even smaller once we get all our stuff in there.

On the upside I don’t immediately have emotionally draining flashbacks to extremely traumatic events like I do with my current home, so yeah that’s a plus.

 

[Ultomato]

I can't seem to find better renders for Zero and Sylux. Anyone willing to lend me a hand?

maybe his AT render?

 

[Deleted member]

Anyways, you know what would be cool? If my parents loved me but also if we got a Civilization stage in Smash. Civilization is undeniably one of the biggest gaming franchises ever, and while we obviously probably wouldn't get Gandhi in Smash, I think a stage would be cool. You could fight on one of the tiles while in the background a civ develops over time, changing the stage hazards for each era. Not gonna happen but it would be cool.

I like how we’re actually considering Banjo.

I’m down with both Banjo and Steve, but the Banjo bros deserve a break.

 

[Luigi The President]

That is most definitely Joker's render
LMAO

Make Sylux, Zero, and Ghirahim bigger. Portrait mugshots are better than full body shots since you're working with a smaller space.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Considering that Nintendo wants to market 3rd party games and develop relations with them for the Switch and their future consoles, I'd say Tekken is out unless they have a game on the Switch. Compare that to Tales which got a port of Vepseria and more Tales games are being planned to be ported, as well the 17th mothership title which is likely to be on the Switch(didn't the initial 3rd party support line up when the official reveal of the Switch happened have Tales on it?)

 

[Idon]

Get in the locker, nerd.

Can’t be true- there’s no Grinch cutout next to it

Yeah, it’s pretty cool.

Makes me wanna play Persona 5.

Which I can’t do right now.

 

[BZL8]

And Soulcalibur is out of the running apparently?

Ah, I forgot about that.

Though, I am kinda surprised that Namco still hasn't put a Dark Souls guest fighter in SoulCalibur, given they own both IPs and the former would likely be well-integrated into the latter.
