Masked Marauders - Skull Kid For Smash! Night of the Last Day.

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Lucas-style double jump if not an actual Peach-esque float.

Like i said a few weeks (maybe a month) ago, as long as he floats in this position

And laughs like this while floating back on stage

 

[_sneaK]

Maybe run like Cloud does, which is to say just float to move?

 

[PhantomShab]

So the music theory got btfo today.

Can't wait to see what new arbitrary fan made theories crop up now. Either way the Potato Theory is still alive and well.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Skull Kiddo reigns supreme.

Music Theory has fallen!

 

[JustCallMeJon]

Gonna say that again,
Skull Kid community, rejoice as the Music theory is finally over!

A new Fire Emblem track is released, ending the one track per franchise!

Rejoice! You still got a chance!

 

[AnOkayDM]

After the heavy blow it was dealt by the Pokémon song, I'm very happy to see it fall for good.

 

[ActualGarbage]

Yay, the evil is defeated! But I just wish it could've been slain at the hands of a better song...

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Would be fitting and faithful to the source material imo, i don't remember Skull Kid walking on his feet while wearing the mask.

Ooh I got a good arbitrary theory, every newcomer has been alternating between hero and villain, so the next newcomer is 100% a villain! My evidence is solid and this theory cannot possibly be debunked.

Eh. I'll believe it. I officially support the Potato Theory.

Yeah like a remix of this one along with a character to fit with it.

Villain Theory let's go.

 

[NintenRob]

Good news indeed, and Zelda should definitely get a second song.

Although if it gets a second song before Skull Kid is revealed, I'm going to start worrying.

I'm so glad the Music Theory is discredited. Theories as of late hold no value or risk. They all just feel like fans tinfoiling the hell out of ideas, and I especially felt that way with the Music Theory after the Pokemon Song, and always had a passionate disdain for the Box Theory.

Here's to hoping we now can get some sick Majora's music & Skull Kid! He honestly feels so close, but I also feel like we're like the other communities just grasping for straws. Well.. it's a good thing Skull Kid's attire seems to be made out of them!


P.S. Is Potato Theory an actually concept or is it just a meme? Either way, funny as hell!

Don't worry too hard if Skull Kid isn't in the game by release date, they may have him as DLC. I've been thinking they may have removed several popular characters as assist trophies so they can have a variety for DLC, since all DLC will be newcomers.

I always worry about the DLC thing for certain characters because the DLC's really gotta sell, and not just any character will be able to move sales great. Although I feel Skull Kid would be fine, since Majora's Mask is one of the most profitable Zelda items next to the triforce itself.

You got me curious now. What's the theory?

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

Lmao i have to share this :

 

[AnOkayDM]

Would be fitting and faithful to the source material imo, i don't remember Skull Kid walking on his feet while wearing the mask.

I think at the very beginning of the game he does kinda shuffle around weirdly, while he's making his way up to the unconscious Link. I remember a strange animation for him.

 

[Isaac: Venus Adept]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Did you guys see this. It looks like Skull Kid was going to be in Project M. That means we could've gotten Lyn, Isaac, Sami, Knuckles, Dixie Kong, Paper Mario and Skull Kid if Project M continued

 

[TheCJBrine]

I wish Project M continued now.

Why'd they discontinue it, again? Wasn't it because of Smash 4 on the Wii U and they thought they couldn't mod it? (though that didn't stop the Legacy XP team from continuing their Brawl mod :S )

It got so big that they got spooked over Nintendo possibly suing them.

This actually looks really good. I could totally see something like this happening for Skull Kid.

I think at the very beginning of the game he does kinda shuffle around weirdly, while he's making his way up to the unconscious Link. I remember a strange animation for him.

Skull Kid does a bit of a funny walk at the start. I could see it being his walk, and hovering in the air his run.

 

[AnOkayDM]

There's more of those animations kicking around somewhere, I think. They looked pretty good!

Can be seen doing a funny lil shuffle

That should definitely be his walk, and he should glide like Mewtwo for his run.

This again reiterates my belief that if Skull Kid is to be a clone, Mewtwo is the only fighter he should be based upon

Yeah there are. Nanobuds provided a link to more animations here https://imgur.com/a/zR3vv
Looks like Tingle was planned as well. Very interesting

 

[verysleepywolf]

I don't think anything would piss me off moreso than _________ being a clone. If they did become a clone, I'd rather not have them in the game at all.

(Skull Kid is above this debate.)

 

[TheCJBrine]

Seeing those Skull Kid animations makes me wish that Project M continued even more-so.

 

[AnOkayDM]

I actually kind of wonder if Sakurai would've been reluctant to add characters that Project: M added first. As sad as I am that Skull Kid didn't come to fruition there, I wouldn't want his existence there to preclude his chances in a future official Smash game.

My new main being based on my current main? Sign me up!

I think Doki Doki Literature Club also played a part in its ending, considering a hidden message in DDLC is "Project M died for this".

On the other hand, fans putting that much effort into making a character more or less from scratch might convince him that that character is worth adding to a main game, or show him some fan demand he was unaware of.

Skull kid doesn't have a tail and a completely different body.

I reckon the Earthbound kids would make more sense. Final Smash even involves calling down celestial objects

If we're doing echos of separate franchises, why not both?

Wait, what, huh? Pics, please.

Back when I was in the P:M community, I thought Lucas would be the best base character. He's child-sized, he has a weird jump, he's got an extended grab, lots of projectiles, and a good base Final Smash. Just give him Mewtwo's dash animation and maybe his teleport.

 

[0007]

Nothing will ever be as cool as his leaked ledge get up attack animation... still so sad what happened to P:M

 

[JoyStar]

Wait, what, huh? Pics, please.

It's apparently part of the opening disclaimer. https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLC/comme...ing/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_header

 

[AnOkayDM]

Yeah, that ledge attack was fantastic. One of the best parts for sure.

I would've been fine with Lucas being the base too, since he's my secondary.

 

[NintenRob]

Have you guys seen this "leak"

I've seen better, but in its defence, I've seen worst
