Maybe Final Fantasy but I hope it's from more entries and not just VII. Knowing Square Enix, it will probably be DLC.What's the one support thread you're gonna drift to when they eventually reopen for switch 2 smash?

Maybe Final Fantasy but I hope it's from more entries and not just VII. Knowing Square Enix, it will probably be DLC.What's the one support thread you're gonna drift to when they eventually reopen for switch 2 smash?
Tbh, I've been thinking about this and I'm like half-thinking they might? Especially if Sakurai's upcoming project is in fact Smash, because at that point he's basically already said it in his video, plus it's a big way to make sure that fanbase is likely to pick up a Switch 2 sooner rather than later.I just hope that when Switch 2 is revealed, someone during the event just makes a comment and says "Yes, we're making Smash Bros." so there's finally an excuse to re-open the character support threads. Having all character discussion condensed into this thread is really getting overwhelming.
We all migrate to the official Super Smash Bros Kerfuffle speculation thread.What's gonna happen to this thread once the next Smash game is officially announced?
Honestly, I think I have too many to name, but several of them will be Waluigi (again), Takamaru, Ayumi, Shadow, Chun-Li and Lu Bu.What's the one support thread you're gonna drift to when they eventually reopen for switch 2 smash?
I imagine this thread will either get renamed or, if it's already over 2000 pages or another one has been made by the time the next game is announced, replaced with a new general speculation or newcomer speculation thread.What's gonna happen to this thread once the next Smash game is officially announced?
If not this week (which is looking to be the case) I think it’ll be sometime after next week. They may want Donkey Kong to have the whole week to himself.Just wondering; do you guys think the Nintendo Switch 2 could be announced next week?
I ask because next week is when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD releases, and I don't think they'll show a Switch 2 reveal alongside the game launching if things that happened in the past means anything.
I thought so. No doubt in my mind that Donkey Kong would get to have its week, but I just wanted to make sure with you all if that was okay.If not this week (which is looking to be the case) I think it’ll be sometime after next week. They may want Donkey Kong to have the whole week to himself.
Let’s be real, the next console’s announcement is a way bigger deal than the second port of a 15 year old game. They won’t want to take the attention from DK.
For fighter adjustments, I'm pretty sure once we have a trailer with characters in it, some of them will go up? Like after the first trailer, every character in it gets a character thread? I could be wrong since I don't check in on them much and Ultimate was kind of a special case, but I'm pretty sure character threads go up as the characters are revealed?I'm kinda new to the boards, so I have a question.
Whenever it is that they announce SSB6, will there also be threads dedicated to gameplay speculation, or is it just character support threads? I'm basically asking if there'll be a thread to yap about fighter adjustments, new and returning advanced techniques, the game's physics, stuff like that. Speculation often veers away from the practical, and mostly focuses on things like characters, stages and move (but only on a conceptual referential level) predictions.
and maybe SV?If we assume the Switch 2 offers some kind of graphical update for Switch games (which it may considering I think Nintendo patented some kind of DLSS-type tech not too long ago), it might give me the push I need to replay Xenoblade 2 and see how pretty it is with an upgrade like that lol
I don't know about that, but Nintendo's been using AMD FidelityFX in their games since 2022, and they even worked with AMD to make a special version of the technology for the Switch.which it may considering I think Nintendo patented some kind of DLSS-type tech not too long ago
Yeah, but as far as I've seen in the patents, this is a recent one from like the very end of 2024 where they're planning on using neural network upscaling to increase resolution while also reducing storage space. Time will tell if they actually use it I suppose since sometimes Nintendo patents aren't for anything they actually use and if it would apply to original Switch games, but it's definitely a possibility considering the projected specs people have been talking about.I don't know about that, but Nintendo's been using AMD FidelityFX in their games since 2022, and they even worked with AMD to make a special version of the technology for the Switch.
From that it sounds more like it'd be used on textures and video files more than being something like DLSS/FidelityFX.reducing storage space.
Bro, Nintendo must be stalling at this point.
This is true, but also, per the patent itself, "As an illustrative example, a video game that is designed to output images at 4k natively may have a total size of 60GB. However, if the size of the images produced by the video game engine are 1080p, then the total size need for the video game may decreased to, for example, 20GB. Even if the images are then output by the video game engine at 1080p, the techniques herein may be used to transform such images to 4k images during runtime."From that it sounds more like it'd be used on textures and video files more than being something like DLSS/FidelityFX.
Maybe it was supposed to be revealed earlier but something happened. That could be one explanation.![]()
I'm imagining things are like this over at Nintendo's HQ as they scramble to get all the promotional material in order as their top-secret unannounced system is being leaked left and right.
Typically there is a general section, a new character section and a veteran character section. Each confirmed character typically gets their own section as well.I'm kinda new to the boards, so I have a question.
Whenever it is that they announce SSB6, will there also be threads dedicated to gameplay speculation, or is it just character support threads? I'm basically asking if there'll be a thread to yap about fighter adjustments, new and returning advanced techniques, the game's physics, stuff like that. Speculation often veers away from the practical, and mostly focuses on things like characters, stages and move (but only on a conceptual referential level) predictions.
Yeah.Just wondering; do you guys think the Nintendo Switch 2 could be announced next week?
What resolution a game is rendered at has nothing to do with its file size. It'd have more to do with how many textures/video/sound files there are and the quality of them. 4K textures and videos are obviously going to take up much more space than 512x512 textures and 480p video files, for example.So unless I'm reading it wrong, it sounds like if this is used for the Switch 2, it would basically be them making games at a certain resolution and then using upscalers and techniques to make it look higher resolution while not bloating their file sizes, which as far as I understand is basically what DLSS does, isn't it?
I'm not sure when they could've done it earlier though. You don't want to reveal it before Christmas because the Switch is huge and you wanna grab one last holiday season for it, and the week of New Year's Nintendo had off, which is why the music app didn't get an update, which means they've only had like four days since coming back from the holidays lolMaybe it was supposed to be revealed earlier but something happened. That could be one explanation.
What makes you think that, may I ask?Yeah.
If K.Rool, Ridley, and Banjo can get shafted for years and then finally make a comeback then Ray gang can do the same eventually someday I'd like to think.Rayman's.
Again. For the third time.
... it's eventually gonna be a fourth time isn't it
Ehhh I don't know. MvC2's stages and soundtrack are certainly iconic, but here's 2 things to consider:I was watching a videos on MVC2 stages and here is my pitch:
How would you guys feel if Smash 6 went in the way of Marvel vs Capcom 2 were all the stages and music were all complete original and unique like BF/FD. Desert, Airship, Carnival, Clock tower etc
All Previous old replaced via new stages with its own set of music. Maybe some based on certain series but not the actual locations.
Gotta announce it sometime.What makes you think that, may I ask?
Pretty much this.Ehhh I don't know. MvC2's stages and soundtrack are certainly iconic, but here's 2 things to consider:
1. Those elements of MvC2 actually weren't all that well liked initially, people had to warm up to them over time. Even then, they went right back to series-based locales after that game.
2. Smash's identity since 64 is more or less centered around fighting within the universes of its franchises, and the music is also a big part of that. It'd be weird if they just... decided to forego all of that entirely, especially with the amount of stages these games tend to get now.
It'd be an interesting experiment, but I don't think it'd really go over super well with the fan base. At the very least, licensing stuff would probably be a LOT easier lmao.
Hmm a crossover game with no crossover stages or music.I was watching a videos on MVC2 stages and here is my pitch:

Probably just burned out a bit like with some other characters or series. Though I didn't see much attention in regards to Ys X compared to the attention the Trails remake got.So... What happened to all that Adol hype? I used to hear about him all the time in this thread.
DunnoSo... What happened to all that Adol hype? I used to hear about him all the time in this thread.
I guess he gets overshadowed by other more popular characters here. And also cause the Trails in the sky remake was getting more attention after a while when it was announced recently. Tho weirdly enough with the exception of Estelle a Trails character doesn’t get talked about much.So... What happened to all that Adol hype? I used to hear about him all the time in this thread.
