Where were the DQ shills in smash 4 and brawl?
I mean, to my knowledge there weren’t any. But I think part of that is attributed to a thing with Smash fans where they focus specifically on games they’ve played, and kinda just pass over ones that have legitimate legacy or genre defining history.

Other than that, I don’t know if you’re saying i’m shilling for it or what not. I’ve never played Dragon Quest before in my life, i’m just stating the fact that Brave fits Erdrick more than anyone.

with Phil Spencer's past statements and what he's recently said about good relations with Japanese companies and wanting to make E3 big, I think it's entirely reasonable to expect B-K in Smash.

and the weird backtracking from a couple of Minecraft employees that I've mentioned before, plus if Minecraft was truly used as leakbait.
Wouldn't the backtracking be in Steve's favor since the employees admitted that they have no clue if Steve's in or not, despite them "claiming" (massive quotes here) that he wasn't in?

Probably either Raccoon City or the inside of the abandoned mansion from the first game.
Police Station is in TWO of the games and has a strong chance of being the stage too. It'd also fit the most popular male character and most popular female character in the franchise.

Ganondorf is a funny case. At first people complain about him not having a sword and now that he has a sword, people want a proyectile move.
Somehow, people are raging at Ganon and his damage output, and now their saying to give him more damage output, which they will rage at. Either way, when has Ganon had a legitimate accurate projectile in LoZ?

Honestly, it bugs me a bit how much effort they put into Joker.

So many veteran characters that drag along outdated/vanilla move-sets, and then random third-parties show up as DLC with an immaculate level of detail and totally unique mechanics or things other characters were denied. Similar things happened with Ryu, Bayonetta, and Cloud, and as a Nintendo fan it's become a bit of a pet-peeve.

Don't get me wrong, he looks fun and I love his aesthetic. And I understand the idea of roster work-load and the drive to make DLC desirable for purchase/worth the money. It just seems a little lame to reserve that level of care for all the non-Nintendo add-ons.
You're forgetting that DLC characters don't share their workload with dozens of other characters and base game material.

Also, it's not like a lot of first party characters don't have their unique mechanics and intricate references like :ultrosalina::ultpokemontrainer::ultrobin::ultlittlemac::ultshulk::ultolimar: etc.

It sounds like everyone's predictions are lining up with the DQ Hero, Leon S. Kennedy, Sol Badguy, and Tracer leak.

Not that I think it's happening, just funny to me. If we have to go with the assumption we are getting Capcom, Square, Bamco, and Wildcard I'll probably want to see Phoenix Wright, 2B (Dragon Quest would be cool too, just going personal preference), Velvet Crowe, and Style Savvy OR Elma.

God I can't believe I get to play as Joker tonight. Wow.
Who the **** is Sol Badguy

Hard to get a read on Joker since he's not actually playable for another 7 hours (give or take), but form looking at him, he seems like he'll have some very clear counters. I think pretty much every heavy can do well since Joker can't use Arsene until he's got some damage built up and that's playing a dangerous game against characters like, say, Ganondorf who can just Spartan Kick you off-screen at like 60%.

Incineroar might actually be a surprising counter to him, too. Incineroar's side B will just ignore Joker trying to use Rebellion Guard and his other throws are really strong too. Plus, Joker, before he can use Arsene, will likely just be taking pot shots via his gun (which he can 'Revenge') or use Eiha 'Which again can be Revenged) or camping and waiting for Arsene to become active.

Plus, with the continual damage of Eiha, Incineroar might actually be able to build continuous charge from the damage, allowing him to just super Lariat Joker and insta-kill him.

That reminds me, based on earlier data we had, what is Joker's weight class? Guess that'll help determine how easy a time he'll have too. If he's a heavyweight, then the other heavies would be as big a problem; same with medium. If he's lightweight, or even on the lighter side of 'medium'; his natural counter could easy be 'all heavies'.

The RE stage better be the place where you fight the final boss of RE5.
Just so that we can have this in the background.

How silly will staindgrey staindgrey and NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy look when Jill AND Leon get in sharing a moveset and roster slot?

Imagine that world.

I say we overthrow them, mod powers and all for putting us through their public battle if this happens. :troll:

Yup... feelsbadman

If only none of you put your Wii U back in storage, I'd be willing to play some Smash 4 matches with y'all

But alas, it's just not to be
My Wii U is set up in my bedroom.

Just saying.

It could be, but I was thinking if Minecraft was truly used as leakbait, then they wouldn't want employees making it obvious it's not Minecraft; although admittedly this falls flat because they would've alerted them before, now that I put more thought into it.

My guess is there's some sort-of Minecraft content if we're getting any Microsoft character, and these employees dun goofed so they were told to keep silent about any straight answers for whether or not Steve is in. of course they could just be acting strange for whatever reason, one is new to Mojang though so I'm paying more attention to how Aubrey replied to a Steve in Smash question with a grimace emoji, as if she couldn't say, despite acting like she would know previously.

I won't complain if Steve is in; I'd be hyped, but it feels like his chances were shot. I'll just focus on Phil's words for Banjo.

If datamines are correct, around the same weight as Peach

As far as I know people always wanted a projectile for Ganondorf. Canon abilities and all that. I guess they're more vocal now that he has a sword.

I originally said that they could pull an Alt of either Jill or Leon. But the more I thought about it, to make it actually look right we’d probably get a feminine looking Leon or a masculine Jill. Not that either looks a certain way, but they’d be modeled to fit each other as opposed to just being their own thing

I still think it’s possible. But I think we’ll only get one of them.

Based on yesterday, I think the chances of one of them getting in are pretty good.

ok but imagine steve being added with joker's attention to detail

the worth of steve mains is based on their ability to make entirely new stages on the fly that suit their matchup

I don't agree with them either, but it probably won't end well for anybody if you call out specific users from other threads. Just saying.

If we are getting any Microsoft content in Smash that isn't playable Steve, a Minecrafter Mii costume feels very likely. Especially for Mii Swordfighter.

I quite literally have Ultimate right next to me, and I have no way to play it. At my age, I get very little money, so everything is on my parents. Sure, I can be patient at times, but I waited almost a full year to play this. Summer break, maybe?

The only fun I have is reading the guide. Playing Smash 4 only really happens on my 3DS (although the battery might be acting weird), and my Wii U copy is done. This was more lengthy than I intended.

I've actually thought since RE2make that if Leon got in, he had a high chance of having Claire as his 2P version.

Leon and Claire are virtually the same proportions in RE2make, and nothing that Leon does would seem particularly weird if Claire did them. Even Leon's more ninja-like acrobatics and knifing could be applied to Claire considering the shenanigans she pulls off in The Mercenaries 3D and Degeneration:



It's still more likely that Leon's 1P/2P versions would be his RPD outfit and his secret agent RE4 look, but if Capcom wanted to push Claire/RE2make they could.
