Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[DevaAshera]

Guys we already have our rhythm game character, y'all

Its honestly kinda funny how many different characters in Super Smash Bros. have been in Rhythm Games.
- Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix
- Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy
- Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Kiryu is our true rhythm game rep.

This is a surreal image, I didn't know there was a donkey Konga 3.

It was Japan only, feature a lot of J-pop and anime intro songs.

Had a few Nintendo songs too, such as the Fire Emblem theme

I think we're all ignoring the best rhythmic character:

"It's the end of the track, SmashBoards!"
"This drill bot is on the scene!"
"I'll knock you forward and back
with a robo attack
'cause you're messing with the wrong machiiiiiiiine!"

A DK game with FE content. Someone on here has nightmares about that.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Tsk tsk the lack of Don-chan love here is DISGUSTING

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

I threw together this garbage graph of my satisfaction with Ultimate newcomers.

How trash is my take and how much of a gamer scrub am I for liking/wanting certain characters over others?

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

It would be a major injustice if we ended this conversation without mentioning Parappa the Rapper.

It was Japan only, feature a lot of J-pop and anime intro songs.

Had a few Nintendo songs too, such as the Fire Emblem theme

Spoiler: Video

Does it count as a rhythm game if the songs sound better without it's sound effects?

Ladies and gentlemen, my childhood.

I loved Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants. Skylanders Swap Force was ok but the dialogue was so...kiddy. Like how a parent tries to convince their child to do something. Skylanders Superchargers had the same issue and the environmental design was less interesting. I stopped playing after that game.

Verdict: 100% trash.
Reason: You disliked a character.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Kind of a general question to everyone, but has Smash speculation ever gotten you to try a new series or game before?

Brawl speculation was when I even learned what a Mega Man was, then I played some of his games once he got in.

From pure speculation and not any actual newcomers...

I played Mario RPG to see what all the hubub for Geno was about.
Played a bit of Golden Sun and then lost all will to continue when Grinch died.
Played the Minecraft demo as an olive branch to a Steve fan.

Currently considering Doom thanks to Doomguy and Isabelle memes that spun off of speculation.

-
Yeah, I don't tend to try the games until the character gets in, and even then my backlog is overflowing thanks to the abundance of new franchises joining...

 

[N3ON]

Verdict: 100% trash.
Reason: You disliked a character.

the rallying cry of smashboards

 

[Proceleon]

I thought his name was Marshal...

Anyway, I was originally a supporter for this character in the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3Ds/Wii U days, but Rhythm Heaven fans don't really seem to care about him, and much like the Chorus Kids, he's missed half the games in the series. He also only appears in the latter half of the series, and was replaced by Tibby in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which makes things a ton worse for him.

EDIT: If we were to pick the face of a Rhythm Heaven amalgam character based on who represents the wackiness of the series the best rather than seniority I think I'd go with Tibby. The Chorus Kids are kind of wacky, but I can't picture the three of them getting smacked around as one unit in a way that looks good especially since they're likely to be flat like Mr. Game & Watch. Also, you can't get much wackier than a bubblegum pink bear with a bow tie and an Afro that's nearly the size of his body.

It's Matt in EU, Marshal in US.
But if I'm remembering correctly, Matt was in two games in the series, where Tibby was only in Megamix... which Matt was also in. Also, Matt is the de facto tutorial character, so it makes much more sense to put him in over Tibby, I'd say.

Sorry, I automatically hate anything that calls for a character to be removed.
Granted, if a Fire Emblem character has to be removed for the next Smash, remove Chrom & Roy, make Lucina a skin..keep Marth, Ike, Robin, Corrin, and Byleth for having the unique movesets.

My only critique is that Piranha Plant should be all the way to the left, like even past Byleth. Unless you were a madman/genius who actually wanted Piranha Plant.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Don't forget Dragon Quest.

I totally get why we never got Theatrythim Dragon quest due to the music licensing issues but I really wish we did.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Don-Chan is great, even Kiryu loves Don-Chan

 

[Hadokeyblade]

This is the first I'm seeing this.

Kinda wish some the song selection was just some of the karaoke stuff in Drum master form. lol

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

I put it dead center because I actually had opinions on the other fighters in terms of wanting them in Smash before it actually happened. Piranha Plant decided it should be in, and it cared NOT about asking me for consent beforehand.

 

[GoodGrief741]

It might come back next year but I doubt it will be as prevalent as it used to be. A lot of major influencers like Geoff Keighley were thinking of dropping out before the cancellation news, and we even had Sony drop out completely last year. It seems with the advent of the age of information there is no need for a big event like this since it's much cheaper to broadcast your news on the internet by yourself. Not to mention that big leak that happened last year destroyed the confidence of a lot of industry officials.

A damn shame really because the true magic of E3 happens behind closed doors and not in front of the audience. A lot of companies and major developers met together on this event because it really was the only time in a year where every major gaming company were on the same avenue. A lot of deals and friendships were formed from this event. A recent example of one of these friendships is Microsoft porting their games to the Switch and putting Banjo in Smash.

I never really got the notion that E3 is that easily replaceable by companies having direct-to-consumer announcements whenever they want. Sure, you could theoretically drop a trailer anytime, but would it have the same impact? A lot more people are going to watch a full-on livestream, with many games, than a single trailer, especially if it's a less big game. When you have your trailer in a showcase it kinda elevates it, hell the whole reason we like Directs is because it's tons of news all together, you never know what you're gonna get, and (ideally) there's something for everyone.

Even if companies move to all having their own Direct clones, E3 itself I think makes them all more special. Like, I would normally never watch a Ubisoft Direct because I don't play Tom Clancy games and Just Dance and that's like 80% of their output. But if it's part of E3? Sure, I'll watch it. And I can't be the only one. Compare the 419K views the last State of Play has versus the 2.4M their 2018 E3 did. Even with Nintendo, who has their fans much more pending of their Directs, still has over one million more views between their last E3 and their last (general) Direct.

Could E3 work as just an ESA-coordinated week of digital events, sparing expenses on the stages and such? Sure, for the fans, I'm not going to get into the loss of networking opportunities because others are much better informed than I am. But I don't think E3 will go away because I don't think it's as expendable to publishers as so many are making it out to be.

Also of course Geoff Keighley was ditching E3 dude's trying to create December E3.

Well now you're just making Piranha Plant look like a sex offender.

Lets just agree to never speak of this again. Yoshi's tax fraud and the Pianta mobsters were enough for the poor Mushroom Kingdom Police.

Not so sure abouth that... this fully erect stem has penetrated many a pipes while spitting out fiery hot juices whenever it pulled out again and again.

 

[DanganZilla5]

Don-Chan is great, even Kiryu loves Don-Chan

Since no one is mentioning it, Megalovania is also in this game (as DLC).

 

[Deleted member]

Good evening guys.

Read that E3's cancelled so...only a Direct can save us now.

Event wise yes but otherwise it'll probably continue through the direct format.

Especially given

Safe? More like bored.

But thank God, because I have the power of God and anime by my side. I'm never gonna be bored.

good luck surviving a month of no classes locked up in your house.

Eh, it's good practice in case I ever get on house arrest which'll never happen XD

 

[osby]

After how people gone "it doesn't count!" for Byleth, Pokemon Direct, and Animal Crossing Direct, I expect them to start complaining about news drought 0.05 seconds after the next Nintendo Direct.

They're probably asking for the Direct that will provide info on all their games.

Seeing how disappointing Byleth reveal and Pokemon Direct were I don't blame anyone for saying those don't count. People want exciting news.

I guess Animal Crossing doesn't count because I don't care for it despite plenty of others who do.
