Official Next Smash - Speculation & Discussion Thread

Is Neptunia in the poll? Just askin'

The IP will be.

 

[fogbadge]

So I might as well say it over here.

The third party poll has resumed it's development but some changes had to happen. Originally I was going to do exactly the same kind of poll. I'd give character choices for every new IP. For the first party poll, that had a clear beginning and end, so it was easily doable.

But third parties are literally endless. I couldn't do it. I either had to change the poll or not release it. Returning franchises will still have lots of characters to choose from. But new franchises will be done in a different way from here on.

Each company will have a page with all their IPs on it. I will be asking what IP you want to get a character in Smash. It's not as exact as it was before and I know we would get as much detailed data as before. But it was too big to do at the scale I was attempting. At least it was too big to do on my own.

So yeah, when the third party poll is out, you'll be voting for characters with returning franchises and IPs for brand new franchises.

Any questions or concerns?

can I vote for Tails multiple times?

You may vote for Tails.

Once.

Once.

What is up with DK’s rear end in that picture?

 

[Gengar84]

Since I seem to be the only one who wants most of the characters I do, I’m not expecting many on my list to be on the poll. If they are, I’m sure they won’t score well. Could still be fun to support the characters that are on the poll I like most.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

What is up with DK’s rear end in that picture?

It's expanded.

 

[fogbadge]

It's expanded.

should have seen that one coming

 

[Undella2]

Another, perhaps odd question, is there anywhere on this site I might be able to find threads about melee from around when the game released? I'm interested in seeing players' reactions to Marth and Roy being in that game, what with them at the time being from a japanese-only series and whatnot.

I'd probably be the only person who would click on it but will SRW be in the Bandai Namco section?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Its already on there.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Its already on there.

Is there a link to it or is it not open yet?

Just one.

How many Dragon Quest characters are there?

Not yet finished.

A lot. Big thanks to Slime Scholar for the big list.

Voting for franchisees instead of characters ought to produce some interesting results.

You may vote for Tails.

Once.

I remember having the bottom picture as my avatar a long time ago, then got this warning from a mod.

I wonder if it was cause things changed since about 10 years ago... or maybe it being an avatar is a lot different from a once in a blue moon post? I dunno.

I'm pretty sure it's not as stingy now, but I could be wrong. XD

Tagging Verde Coeden Scalesworth on that one because she's been around SmashBoards since the dawn of time

I feel like that show is entirely responsible for basically all of DK's memes being crass.

Try to name a DK combo without using the word "dong" challenge (impossible).

I'm pretty sure it's not as stingy now, but I could be wrong. XD

Considering we have a user here with shirtless Wario with "W" nipples as his profile pic, I'd wager an official image of Thicc Kong would be allowed. lol

 

[smashkirby]

You can still do an SSE style story with in game graphics and no actual CG cutscenes. I’d be totally fine with that. You don’t need CG for a fun adventure and character interaction.

Ngl, I sort of figured something like that or Namco's 'X' games would be how they'd handle cutscenes and whatnot...

If I may ask, I don't suppose that list of Namco IPs I listed for you helped in any way?

 

[Oracle Link]

I DO think that if Smash Bros. were to ever add a Pokémon CHAMPION as a playable character? Cynthia's almost definitely going to be that champion.

What about blue/green?
Hes the first champion for like 3 minutes!

 

[DarthEnderX]

But they had to play it safe all throughout Ultimate because they were only adding a small amount of newcomers in the base, FP1, and FP2.

Ah yes. Because when I think of playing it safe, I think of Piranha Plant.

We already know that a new Mario Kart is coming, and given how much Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold it's clear that they'll sell a crapton of units with Mario Kart 9 alone

I mean, it's not like a crapton of people bought the WiiU because of Mario Kart 8 alone.

How much did Darth pay you to say this?

Where will the poll be?

I actually don't know since I wasn't in the Melee boards during that time.

Keep in mind a lot of times people don't report things. So it's likely it's okay, but there's always that chance.

If you're not sure, just ask a Moderator/Admin. A lot of stuff gets swept under the radar because people aren't keen on simply reporting a potential issue. Common everywhere, though.

Are you really trying to argue Mario Kart isn't a killer app on the basis of the Wii U not selling well?

 

[BrawlX10]

I played Ys IX a few months ago and i'm all for Adol Cristin joining the battle.
White Cat as an assist trophy would be cool too, however i have no idea what Ys game will they focus on....Ys X peraphs? In that case i guess the girl party member from Ys X probably has more chances to show up as AT. (Havent played Ys X).

 

[Nabbitfan730]

I argue that Wii U would've even less than it did without it. I remember boosting sales a crap ton beyond what it was initially
