Would be wild if a mother 3 character got announced alongside a localization

I better not hear anyone say “they would never” because every time y’all use that against me I get to t-pose against you

“They would never” is invalid in every context involving smash imo

Thanks for coming to my jaded Ted talk

Okay but like, it's Duster he doesn't even have the mild fan support that Kumatora has.

Not to mention that Sakurai himself stated that he would have never added Lucas had he known Mother 3 was going to be a Japan-Exclusive and that there are better choices out there.

It would be crazy but I don't think they would choose my boy.

 

[TheBeastHimself]

Not a requirement, but it certainly helps if the Japanese Company and Japanese Director are aware of the existence of a character via the way of a Japanese release.

Don't think of it as a fan-rule, but perhaps maybe something to consider.

That makes sense. Conker has no Japan presence. But Conker is also Microsoft and Rare's most used mascot. If they see his franchise as profitable, could that factor into anything?

 

[Hinata]

Does Joker have any "normal" victory animations that can work for Team Battles?

You know, that's a good question. They only showed us the P5 Victory Screen-based one, so who knows?

[/QUOTE]
That's....actually a really good point.

 

[Pyra]

It's no problem. I personally also don't like it when people come up with rules and get entrenched in one mindset.

No god damn it they aren’t gonna let a 3rd party I— a Final Fantasy character i— a risqué character I- Ridley in- more than one character from a third party company i-...

Uh... they’re definitely not gonna reveal joker before the 24th—

God damn it
Why are all the things I’m 1000% sure of never happen!!!!!

 

[MainJPW]

I too, am disturbed by Kirby's Anime eyes.

Oh, the Gun? Kirby's already a killer, so that's not unexpected.

I’ll admit it, Kirby looks pretty dang cool with a gun.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Pyra]

Sakurai himself stated

There’s your problem buckerino

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Crap didn't realize I didn't post it. Here it is.

snip (I didn't read the full comment on that page. Apologies).

Enjoy laughing guys.

 

[RandomAce]

He probably has one.

They only showed Joker running after all.

 

[Moydow]

Anyone up for a late-night pre-3.0 arena?

I'll do a few rounds, sure. Might as well get a last few matches in before Lucina gets nerfed into the ground.

 

[Deleted member]

Sharing some Yu jokes since I'm happy to get his Mii costume. Now I have to main Mii swordsman.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Idon]

Man the roster is already crazy as it is right now. Could you imagine what it would look like in another decade?

 

[Captain Shwampy]

i felt this sudden anger the moment i saw the reused sonic mii costumes like wow thanks for no new sonic remixes, no shadow echo, no updated moves for sonic, and same mii costumes from before

really enjoy it sakurai

thanks

I’m sure Sakurai is out to get the sonic fans tbh
He’s got a whole anti sonic club going on in el mother Japan so

Yeah, people lay down all these guidelines that don't end up meaning anything. Even "rules" that Sakurai himself seemingly lays down are broken.

It's pretty normal though. Smash discussion would be pretty weird if the community didn't agree on some rules.

Look at it this way...
At least you're in Smash.

I do want more Sonic characters. Sonic is arguably the most iconic 3rd party franchise on the roster, but he ain't go squat character wise.

 

[Pyra]

No rules make better predictions imo

That’s been my guiding light since like last April lol

(Wow it’s been a year)

 

[Wademan94]

I wouldn't add Lana, but instead I would add Rachel and Momiji plus Genshin, Murai and some other bosses from modern titles.

I’ll replace Lana with Momiji but considering her attire I don’t see Rachel happening, I’ll think about the others.

 

[Zinith]

Crap didn't realize I didn't post it. Here it is.

[Redacted due to offenseive terminology towards Japanese people]

Enjoy laughing guys.

Alright, now I'm curious what that initially said

 

[Deleted member]

Anyone up for a late-night pre-3.0 arena?

Sure I'm always up for some Smash.

There’s your problem buckerino

Ah you're right though that doesn't take away the fact that Duster is a pipe dream and may be less likely than Piranha Plant before it's reveal.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Can’t wait to play as Persona 5. He looks really cool with his Persona 5 Buster!

 

[Wademan94]

That makes sense. Conker has no Japan presence. But Conker is also Microsoft and Rare's most used mascot. If they see his franchise as profitable, could that factor into anything?

Wait now that I think about it, does Banjo have any Japan presence?

 

[Knight Dude]

Boss: "Hey so what video editing programs do you use?"

Some dude: "Y'know, Premire, After Effects and Smash Bros Video Edit mode."

Boss: "Oh, ok. Wait Wha?....Well, it's not Sony Vega at least."

It's Xander's version of Alien X.

props to anyone who understands that reference

Ben 10 Squad represent. Dwayne McDuffie worked on that show too.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Aight don't wanna be the person to suggest another "chairs" theory, but note how almost every stage builder stage was a reference for one of their series... except two.

Dragon (Though I suppose one could argue this might be a Fire Emblem reference) - DRAGON Quest?
Witch (I guess technically Zelda has witches, but this was a more traditional looking witch, almost Halloweeny - in April.) - Gruntilda reference perhaps? BANJO KAZOOIE maybe?!

Ryu Hayabusa has a NES Trilogy, and a 3D Trilogy that has special additions with extra content and characters. A DS game, and as we said before, is a mainstay in the DOA series of fighting games.

He also shows up in the Warriors Orochi games, basically Koei's Dynasty Warriors All-Stars. Dude's the mascot of the company. If those Volleyball games ever had a Token dude they'd probably pick Hayabusa cause he's their main man.

Hayabusa is probably the only 3rd Party regularly mentioned that would excite me (Erdrick maybe). NES, SNES, DS, 3DS, Wii U, Switch, his Nintendo presence is fairly strong (not that it matters that much anymore).

I'd love for a remix of this stage theme/end credits to play in a reveal trailer, especially considering most people don't make it far enough to hear it:

 

[Pyra]

Can’t wait to play as Persona 5. He looks really cool with his Persona 5 Buster!

But muh persona <5 got relegated to outfits (

 

[Idon]

I'm surprised they gave him a made up grappling hook instead of something like Joker's shadow jump when he sneaks in-between obstacles.

The grapple pulling people in looks neat though, unfortunate that it goes away with Arsene active though.

Arena is up

PsySmasher and whoever else wants in

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Still going with both characters at E3 will be total surprises and that Brave is NOT Erdrick.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I can't believe they gave Kirby a gun.

im scared

 

[Shroob]

Alright.

Ya want some ****ing BETS?



Even though I love it here, I'll bet my ac-----I'll go afk for an entire month if ****ing Velvet Crowe gets in Smash.


There's just no way she'll get in without a massive redesign.

 

[Pyra]

Wait now that I think about it, does Banjo have any Japan presence?

Yeah, a quick google search leads me to believe so

 

[Knight Dude]

Man the roster is already crazy as it is right now. Could you imagine what it would look like in another decade?

Just keep updating Ultimate like SF2 back in the day.

**** it. 7 Belmonts, 4 Sonic characters, 3 Mega Men, 300 extra songs all coming in 2035. Todd Howard will literally make Skyrim the game a stage.

Pre-Order for the free Akuma download code.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Hmmm now that we’re getting stage builder in addition to Joker, I wonder what other new modes or content might be included with a DLC character update?

Maybe homerun contest and other stadium modes will return in a future update? Not trying to be greedy, just wondering what things we might get besides characters.

 

[MainJPW]

How did you neglect to mention the 2 Green Hills?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I think I missed something. Does Joker have two different types of victory screens? Is the one with the color changed and Morgana solely for Momentos or is this victory screen also featured in matches on other stages?

 

[DevaAshera]

Joker looks cool, but man a part of me is a bit ticked that Snake, the guy that uses non lethal sleep darts, isn’t able to use his gun but Joker is. Oh well I still love snakes move set as it is.

Man haven’t been back into the speculation scene in months, has anything changed or we still mostly in the dark/ maybe Edrick?

It was probably due to a mixture of two things or one or the other.
1) Snake was included in Brawl, the ratings system in Japan may have gotten more lenient since that game's release (or DLC can be rated separately since its not part of the main game).
2) Joker's gun is an airsoft gun that just acts like a real gun in Palaces/Mementos.

Does Joker have any "normal" victory animations that can work for Team Battles?

That's a good point..I mean, he does,

Spoiler

That's it..he just stands there like that.

However, they could also pull from his artworks or his Persona Awakening pose for other Victory Screens (who knows, maybe he'll have a 4th Victory Animation used just for Team Battles).

Spoiler

Maybe he’ll have a grappling hook in P5R

As far as I know, Joker will always have his running victory animation with the sole exception being if he wins with an all-out-attack in which case Joker's splash art will be the victory screen.
