[Will]

I absolutely believe in you!

No.

Ya thats why i am not disclosing on who I'm talking about

y'all making me go on an easter egg hunt since you're making this very public

 

[Deleted member]

Now we move on to the mystery of the certain poster

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Okay, seriously

Let's stop this hated user talk...

It's only gonna end badly...

Thanks

 

[Deleted member]

No.

Hint #2: He can't handle the fact that his 4th party character can't make it in.

Ugh....the more I see the term "4th party" the more I want to throw books about video game developers and intellectual property rights at people.

You aren't welcome

 

[Zinith]

Okay, seriously

Let's stop this hated user talk...

It's only gonna end badly...

Thanks

I wonder if mimicking the bolded mod talk is a no-no around here. Just saying

I don't see how this could end badly?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Oh... maybe it is...

My bad... fixed it

 

[RealPokeFan11]

Yeah i think it's best to move on.

Let's talk about Smash Bros!

 

[Will]

I don't see how this could end badly?

What's gonna happen when you call someone the most hated user?

WHO HATES ME?!?!?!?! will echo through the halls either angry or sad

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah i think it's best to move on.

Let's talk about Smash Bros!

Yeah uhh...

...who is the next DLC character

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah i think it's best to move on.

Let's talk about Smash Bros!

Ok is it bad that my best of the best playlist has 168 songs in it?

Dang it Hitmen!!

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Yeah uhh...

...who is the next DLC character

Erdrick.

Also predicting Steve.

Other then that I think the other two could be anyone.

 

[TyrantLizardKing]

Banjo is the size of ?

I know he's a bit stubby but I don't think he's that small.

Not necessarily a point in their favour but 's stats changed from launch to release, so you never know if Brave's will change too (especially since latest patch removed them).

 

[Alternis]

Ok is it bad that my best of the best playlist has 168 songs in it?

Dang it Hitmen!!

Depends. Is it just Smash music? Or music in general?

There are 200+ songs from Smash I like, for example. Otherwise my personal music collection for listening is 4800+ songs strong.
So no, actually. It's not bad.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Erdrick.

It CaN'T Be ErDRick, BeCAuSe JUmp FoRcE AlReADy gOt A DrAgON qUEst CHaRAcTeR

I tHiNk ErDRiCk Is lEAkbAIt /s

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

As far as I know, Erdrick is only viewed as likely in this context because of both Dragon Quest's inherent notability, and whispers of Dragon Quest and Square Enix stuff by insiders. Otherwise there's no reason to see him as likely. With DLC speculation I'm believing nothing until I see it announced.

"The only reason Erdrick is likely is cause Dragon Quest is an iconic Japanese phenomenon and leakers that have gotten most everything right for this game so far has heard it is him."

I dunno, man. Erdrick is highly, HIGHLY likely. Like, almost confirmed likely.

...maybe it's Geno but I doubt it.

 

[Will]

...maybe it's Geno but I doubt it.

The gospel is spreading.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah uhh...

...who is the next DLC character

Erdrick and Steve. I wish it was Banjo and Geno but they just look way less likely than Eddy/Steve

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I expect Erdrick to be revealed in April (Maybe even teased in March) and Steve revealed at E3.

 

[amazonevan19]

Apologies if I'm late/it's been discussed to death already, but I need answers to help me sort recent events out.

(1) I've heard the leak with Doomguy, Ryu Hayabusa, Steve, and Erdrick got disproven. If so, how and why? And Verge backed that leak, didn't he? What's he saying now?

(2) Did datamines find anything in 2.0.0?

Thanks

 

[ZephyrZ]

Starting to feel the everyday grind of life take its toll on me. I wish I could just take a nice long vacation from work on a whim. But while I have the savings account to pull that, I'm planning on moving out in the next few months and want to be prepared for the absolute worst.

To tell the truth, my sister has had a recent dental surgery and hasn't been able to go to work. She's had a lot of time to spend on her hobby lately and I'm secretly a little envious. She's going to be my roommate though, so the fact that she's not making any money right now makes it even more important that I keep going to work.

Sorry for the random rambling. I wish I had more mental stamina then I do.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

I expect Erdrick to be revealed in April (Maybe even teased in March) and Steve revealed at E3.

The thing is, would they announce Steve at Nintendo's conference,

Or will they pull a Joker, and announce him out of nowhere at Microsoft's?

Imagine the chaos if that happend?

 

[Noipoi]

If Geno survived the Grinch massacre and the Spirit massacre i'll be incredibly happy.

It's probably Erdrick, but i'd be happy.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

"The only reason Erdrick is likely is cause Dragon Quest is an iconic Japanese phenomenon and leakers that have gotten most everything right for this game so far has heard it is him."

I dunno, man. Erdrick is highly, HIGHLY likely. Like, almost confirmed likely.

...maybe it's Geno but I doubt it.

He's a likely option.

But yeah, Inkling was the only lock in general. Ken was when we found an impossible to defeat leak. Till then, he was no lock. Rest are overexaggerated as "locks". Isabelle was another very likely candidate. Most didn't even want to believe she could be a semi-clone cause apparently she had to be an Echo for... some reason(even I could tell she was impossible for that role. It was some kind more unique addition or nothing). Incineroar at best was a lock due to Verg, but he was a very reasonable contender regardless. Not unlike Decidueye. One could argue Mimikyu and Lycanroc were strong contenders. Pokemon didn't have a clear lock on its own. Leaks made a difference there. On the other hand, finding out nobody was heavily considered beyond the birb and wrestling cat is interesting on its own. Hindsight is 20/20, of course.

Ugh....the more I see the term "4th party" the more I want to throw books about video game developers and intellectual property rights at people.

Same. Such a bad term that's extremely misguided. They're still 3rd parties and always will be. Even 2nd party had more weight to it as it had a real use. It's wrong by all means, but made some remote sense.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

The thing is, would they announce Steve at Nintendo's conference,

Or will they pull a Joker and announce him out of nowhere at Microsoft's?

Probably Nintendo given Smash is an Nintendo game and they supposedly made negotiations with Microsoft.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't get why people aren't thinking about the possibility of a reveal at Minecon I would be great marketing

 

[TheCJBrine]

I'm wondering if Brave could be Ninten.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I don't get why people aren't thinking about the possibility of a reveal at Minecon I would be great marketing

Didn't that already pass?

 

[Deleted member]

I don't get why people aren't thinking about the possibility of a reveal at Minecon I would be great marketing

Last time we did that was last year and they didn't. History tends to repeat itself as the saying goes.

 

[Deleted member]

I think that, if there is a Microsoft character, it would be revealed at E3

 

[Will]

Or will they pull a Joker, and announce him out of nowhere at Microsoft's?

Would be weird for a conference of Microsoft games to promote a non-Xbox/PC exclusive.

Yeah, that's what I expect

But can you imagine?

Microsoft shows a trailer for a Minecraft update, then fades to black, more Minecraft footage is shown, accumulating in a Steve in Smash tease...

The internet would go nuts

The Village & Pillage Update.

ft. Steve coming to Smash while salty people plan to pillage Nintendo.

 

[Dee Dude]

Hated user thing was my fault, sorry lol.

I have something to talk about:

How do you Ultimate’s hype cycle would’ve been handled if the reveals and deconfirms were in this order?

June/E3:
Shadow shown
Isaac shown
Shovel Knight shown.
Skull Kid shown (before the Moon)
revealed.
Everything else is the same.

August:
trailer shown at the beginning
trailer (K.Rool replaced with in the end with Ryu replacing him in the beginning) at the end of the Direct
reveal
Spring-Man deconfirmed
Rex Mii outfit shown
Knuckles shown (after Shadow)
Krystal shown
Everything remains the same

October: (For Halloween)
at the end of the general Direct with to promote Mansion 3.
No Grinch leak

November:
Everything goes as normal
Spirits shown
Sakurai confirms that Spirits won’t be fighters.
The rest of the ATs are shown. (Every popular request was already deconfirmed at E3 softening the blow)
announced
Everything seems underwhelming until BOOM.
at the end.

They had to reveal the more hype characters first, just so they could assure buyers as soon as possible...

Besides, Smash as a franchise, never ended on a hype reveal...

Ever

Wouldn't surprise me honestly now that you say it.
