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

So, basically, believe them if they say "hey there's gonna be a Direct on this day", don't believe them if they say "this is what's gonna be in the Direct".

I think so but to be honest this comment

As for GamingINTEL, they claimed that there would be both a Smash Direct and a general Direct for November 2018, a direct in January 2019, and a Persona 5 Switch announcement for March. Take that as you will.

makes me worry a bit. So I would think its better to see if someone corroborates it first.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Ideal picks, you say?

1. Joker (Persona 5): Of course. You'll never see it coming. Probably my best non-Nintendo game I've played in 2017.
2. Erdrick (Dragon Quest III): The other classic JRPG series alongside Final Fantasy. Gotta find a way to sell that pass in Japan. That and it is still surprising that Dragon Quest still hasn't made it in, given the impact the series had on the Japanese gaming industry as a whole. Might give me an excuse to purchase DQXI S when it comes out.
3. 2B (NieR: Automata): Automata was the second best non-Nintendo game I played in 2017. Put Link, Joker, and 2B in the same room and you have completed the trio of Japan's biggest games of 2017.
4. Banjo-Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie): A classic retro pick and becoming increasingly probable, especially since Microsoft is recently getting cozy with Nintendo.
5. Kat (Gravity Rush): Not sure about Sony, but I think if Sakurai has a chance to work with Sony, he would go for it. I am of the mind that "Gravity Rush" is the most "Nintendo-y" game that Sony has produced. Wouldn't be surprised if the game has its share of fans within Nintendo's departments and higher ups.
6. Solaire (Dark Souls) or any FromSoftware character: I am a big Souls fan. Give me one.

>Kat from Gravity Rush

Did you read my mind?

Kat is honesty one of my most wanted characters solely due to the cool moveset she could bring, but I know she's such a pipe dream that it'll never happen.

I'd be very happy with this lineup to be completely honest. Maybe swap out Solaire for the Chosen Undead (the actual protagonist of Dark Souls) or a Tales of rep, but this is still a great lineup of off-the-wall picks.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

actually, Id like to heard everyones legit thought about Prof Layton in Smash, Im curious

 

[Deleted member]

They aren't the most reliable. Only PolarPanda, Tansut, and King Zell seem to be the insiders that seem to be consistent (especially with Zell getting everything correct so far).

Sorry, was only aware of the date of the direct which was by reliability regarding dates. Everything else I was aware, they are not very good.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

We'd get either Kratos, Sackboy or Nathan Drake long before we got Kat into Smash.

 

[Icedragonadam]

A 4chan "leak" had the perfect Mother 3 reveal idea.

Reggie concludes his final Nintendo Direct and the screen fades to black. Doug Bowser is heard, saying "Is he gone? Okay, get the lights back on." We see Doug Bowser saying "Now that he's gone, we can finally do this. We know how long you've been waiting, and thank you for your patience."

MOTHER 3 HD TRAILER

Even better. Mother 1+ 2 +3 HD, plus, register the game to your MyNintendo account before the end of whatever month and get a Smash DLC code for Porky plus Ninten as an Echo fighter for free in Smash Bros Ultimate/pipe dream.

>Kat from Gravity Rush

Kat could be a really unique stance character if they bring in her different forms from Gravity Rush 2.

It would be much better than pretty much all of the predictions heard here and there.

 

[Roberk]

actually, Id like to heard everyones legit thought about Prof Layton in Smash, Im curious

He's extremely close to Nintendo and has some neat gadgets he can use, I would like for him to be in but I just don't think he has a chance.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Now that I mention Kratos tho. It'd be cool to see him work be with Atreus as a duo character similar toand

That or similar toFinal Smash have Atreus involved.

 

[Gyrom8]

actually, Id like to heard everyones legit thought about Prof Layton in Smash, Im curious

I really want him but I've never given much thought to what his moveset would be, though I'm sure Sakurai and his team could conjure up something.

 

[Alternis]

Me: I've never played Gravity Rush, know nothing about its characters...

Kat: *gets added with music from her series*

Also me:

Fire-bound Lions and Night Gale or bust

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Well off to see Pet Sematary with my friend. I'll chat more later guys.

 

[Deleted member]

Here's what I predict/hope for if we get DLC Beyond the Fighters Pass (FP will be Bolded like TPC did with their DLC wishlist):
Piranha Plant (Confirmed)
Joker (Confirmed)
Erdrick (Represents a Massively popular RPG franchise and the Franchise is super influential)
Banjo (Added for Fan-Demand)
Jill/Leon (Represents the most popular Horror Franchise in all of gaming and with RE Picking up some traction recently it's the best time to do this)
Sans/Undertale Rep (Represents Nintendo's relationship with Indies and with Undertale's popularity it is a prime candidate for this)

Geno (Added due to Fan-Demand and Sakurai wanting him)
Bandana Dee (Added due to him being a highly requested and Marketable Character)
Dixie (See Above)
Isaac/Waluigi (If Assists get upgrades) (Added due to Fan-Demand)

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I'd be cool with Professor Layton getting in. The Layton series has always been a sleeper success, though at this point I'd see his daughter getting in over him since his role in the series has diminished.

This is one of my all time favorite Gravity Rush songs. Can't say it's 100% fit for fighting, but I'd love to hear this in Smash.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm fine with Layton, He'd be pretty cool and he could have a unique moveset.

That said I don't know much about him so I would be fine either way.

 

[Deleted member]

actually, Id like to heard everyones legit thought about Prof Layton in Smash, Im curious

I would like him, would like him more if Mr Trite is also a newcomer.

I'd be cool with Professor Layton getting in. The Layton series has always been a sleeper success, though at this point I'd see his daughter getting in over him since his role in the series has diminished.

The first game is actually one of the best selling NDS games with more than 4 million copies sold with about 3 of those overseas, that's far from a sleeper hit from my opinion.

I honestly dont see her getting anything other then her anime seeing how her game didnt do so good

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

We'd get either Kratos, Sackboy or Nathan Drake long before we got Kat into Smash.

Don't be so sure of that. Gravity Rush is on Sakurai's radar for sure, Kratos likely wouldn't get in due to the immense gore in the God of War series, LittleBigPlanet has been dead for a long time, and Uncharted has always been more popular in the West.

 

[PsySmasher]

actually, Id like to heard everyones legit thought about Prof Layton in Smash, Im curious

Outside of the 3rd party characters on my banner, Layton is one of the few that I would be happy to see.

He's nowhere near the top of my list, but I'd gladly take him over other prominent 3rd party characters.

 

[Opossum]

Now that I mention Kratos tho. It'd be cool to see him work be with Atreus as a duo character similar toand

That or similar toFinal Smash have Atreus involved.

"Boy!"
"On my mark!"

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You know, Despite having Lady Layton in my title, I wasnt really excited for her game, like, at all, once I found out it was a "where is my dad" game.

I think I mostly only like her because of the wholesome Layton Family aspect but other then that, nah

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

The first game is actually one of the best selling NDS games with more than 4 million copies sold with about 3 of those overseas, that's far from a sleeper hit from my opinion.

That was also in 2007, 12 years ago.

If this were speculation for Sm4sh I'd agree with you, but it isn't. Layton's series also had a gap in releases from early 2013 - mid 2017, diminishing the series' momentum outside of Japan, where it's remained consistently popular, but not to the extent of other series.

 

[Idon]

Put em in, Sakurai. I want to see some more action characters going on.

 

[TechPowah]

Let's say hypothetically, Banjo is confirmed for Smash eventually
but what if we had Spiral Mountain come with
the Windy them from Conker as a music cameo

Cause ohhhhhh man, Windy playing for Spiral Mountain
meshes QUITE WELL, hm?

That the series sales declined is quite different from a sleeper hit, considering the other releases also sold relatively well and the series as a whole outsells a few series from Nintendo. The first game could've been a sleeper hit, but his series performed reasonably well to be called that (Okami or PW is something that I would call a sleeper hit). Plus, you could also say the same for other dead series or series not as popular as before and are currently speculated.

 

[Deleted member]

On second thought, let's get different. So I mentioned I wanted Bomberman, Banjo, Erdrick, and Andy, but let's stretch my brain for a different scenario that would make me hype. I'm going to list characters I want that I don't typically show I want. If the character is on my signature, I wont list them here.

1. Joker - We know he's in.
2. Isaac - I read a Golden Sun let's play by Quovak to get an idea of the series. It ripped the game apart, but I visually liked a lot of designs and scenery and the music was decent for what it was. I'm not clinging to him, but Isaac would be fun and I would appreciate him for what he is. Hell, he's back as an assist trophy out of popular demand. That actually says a lot when someone removed from the game returns.
3. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Minecraft in a world where Banjo doesn't exist. Minecraft is iconic, unique, visually pleasing, and did a lot for gaming. Notice how I didn't say Steve because I want to keep my options open as of now.
4. Capcom get its own list because I played UMvC3 and there is a **** ton of potential.
   1. Dante - Stylish demon hunter with a plethora of combo reliant weaponry? Metal music? Let's just do that. Plus if they put Virgil in as an assist or spirit, I'll be happy because he was my main in UMvC3.
   2. Zero - Literally only because he was a main in UMvC3. His assist trophy works exactly how I expect him to.
   3. Resident Evil protag - I didn't start appreciating the series until RE2 Remake came out. Before that, I thought the series looked stupid, inconvenient, and outdated. Now that it's updated, I suddenly have way more respect for it and I also commend how it revolutionized the horror genre. Plus the RE characters were fun to play as in UMvC3.
   4. Viewtiful Joe because his series needs a sequel and more specifically my brother needs a sequel.
   5. Amaterasu because why not? Japanese god dog with stunning paint brush visuals and a decent ost? Go for it.
   6. Phoenix Wright - Of course.
   7. Someone mentioned Arthur from Ghost and Goblins once, and I think that's okay. GnG is sort of a meme game at this point. You only play it to get your balls kicked in and I appreciate how it's held up because of it.
5. Someone once brought up Giygas and I still think that's one of the best ideas I've ever heard for a first party character. Visually, a lot of Mother characters look the same so why not just choose the Mewtwo-looking ****-er who instigates everything in the series? It would be such a tonal shift from what people outside of Mother would expect.
6. If it meant Disney being in Smash Bros in some way or another, Sora. Why the **** not? Only if they really hammer in the Disney content and not the weird Organization 13 darkness light agenda bull****. Literally, you could just do things like make an Ariel and Captain Hook spirit and I would honestly really wholesome because of it. Make it Kingdom Hearts 1 Sora even if we're beyond that.
7. Lyn or Hector - They're popular, have a ton of moveset potential, and FE 7 is what really got me into Fire Emblem as a whole. I think people would love these characters too as long as they aren't another Marth clone. I wont die for them to be in, but they're my most wanted Fire Emblem character.
8. Unironically want Undertale in Smash Bros. It can be Sans or Frisk; I don't really care.
9. Heihachi - I respect Tekken as a fighting game series and think Heihachi is fairly iconic for what it is. Lars Alexanderson was actually in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and that's what introduced me to Tekken. How crazy is that?
10. Mortal Kombat - the revolutionary for extreme violence in video games. I'm really interested in Mortal Kombat but I just don't have the time and energy. For now, I'll just watch the story and fatalities on the side.

There. That's nine candidates out of my usual signature dream picks.

 

[Wyoming]

Phoenix Wright. Anyone else doesn't matter. I'll be content with the roster and most likely not buy any of the remaining DLC.

 

[Alternis]

This is one of my all time favorite Gravity Rush songs. Can't say it's 100% fit for fighting, but I'd love to hear this in Smash.

I know I mentioned it in my original response, but:

I've been telling people: During Banjo's trailer, he's gonna be standing against a wall while reuniting with the Nintendo cast, until suddenly a chainsaw cuts a whole through the wall, revealing Conker. Conker then chases Banjo away. Banjo and Conker confirmed.

Someone in my family plays his games, so they'd be happy. As far as I'm concerned that's enough for me.

How do I like a post more than once? I'm not as familiar with Ninja Gaiden, but I'd love it if we got this as DLC.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah, I'm gonna be honest here: I'd say it would be wise to ignore any Direct rumors claiming one's coming before Persona Super Live. Not gonna get my hopes up GamingIntel's rumor has anything legit to it.

Why? 'Cause Jane says "lol P5R".
