Super Smash Bros. General v17: Everyone is DEAD! (except Kirby) - Games

I strongly believe Banjo might be a DLC fighter. I'm sure negotiating for him ain't gonna be hard as Phil Spence is on board with it (unless they ask too much money), but literally anything is possible after Piranha Plant. I'm honestly surprised that Konami is being very lenient with Nintendo for Smash content. 35 music just for Castlevania, and new remixes for Metal Gear.

Rex is too new to be put in, that's explicitly why they made him a costume

Wishful thinking, but I think(hope) Geno is one of the DLC character. Only reason I think that is because was DLC so Square Enix could get some of the profit off that, same situation might be for Geno. Have him DLC so Square can get money from that instead of just settling for licencing him out for the base game.

It's hilarious because we all just assumed (rightfully so) that Konami was "that company that Sakurai was having trouble with" when it's very clear that Konami is just as much on the Smash hype train as we are. It's honestly mind boggling how a company can be so two-faced.

It'll either be Geno, Sora, Sephiroth, or something to represent Dragon Quest.

Konami has been lenient if Super Bomberman R means anything since that game is still getting free content updates even though it didnt sell amazingly IIRC, hell even MG Survive is getting updates as much as that game is a shit on a corpse. Konami right now are half delicate angels and half money grubbing trend chasers and dickheads, and the latter half shouldn't be underestimated just yet.

I kind of hope its characters that I'm not expecting at all. I totally want more curve balls, it makes the reveals so much more exciting to me personally.

I hope Nintendo selected Bandana Dee as an advertisement for Star Allies and future Kirby titles.

Why would Sakurai pick advertise a game that has been out longer than Smash Ultimate

So, presumably you unlock characters via the new singleplayer mode, and we already know you can scan amiibo to unlock your favorites early Do you still think they'll keep playtime-based unlocks?

I'm certainly counting on play time/match count based unlocks staying in as well. I see no reason for it to be gone, especially in such a multiplayer centric Smash.

wait, was the amiibo unlock feature confirmed?

Not confirmed by Nintendo yet, but it seems too probable of a feature to not be included.

I thought they straight-up mentioned it at one point? That was the whole reason why I said "Oh cool, glad I have all my faves" a few threads ago

If they did in the Direct, it must've slipped me. I know it was leaked earlier in the product description for the Wolf/Ridley amiibo a few months back.

it wasn't in the directs as far as i remember, and the only place that's said it was some product listings, but i don't think there was a consensus on if those listings meant "tap to unlock the character as a playable fighter" or "tap to unlock the character as a figure fighter", like amiibo normally do. regardless i'm really hoping it ends up being the case, i've got a friend of a friend wanting to run a mini tournament for ultimate at like 1am on dec 7th and i'd like to be able to help them unlock most of the roster with my amiibo collection, so they have more than just 8.

Sounds like they probably should've waited a few days later

Had a dream last night that we got Glass Joe as an Echo for Mac and his gimmick was that he had Pichu’s self-harm feature

Now I want this over Piranha Plant

My reaction to any DLC related news sans character reveals: Oh, boy! I hope it's Banjo & Kazooie! My reaction if Banjo & Kazooie are confirmed to be nowhere near being in Smash: Oh, well. I'm still excited for these brand new characters, though!!

Potentially interesting thought: do we know if David Hayter mentioned that he was recording new lines for Ultimate or if he just said he was being paid/credited/whatever for the ones he did in Brawl? They’ve reused ZSS’s lines since that game so there’s no reason to think he’d mention being contacted for it unless he was doing new material, right? What i’m saying is it makes codecs coming back more likely

Didn't he confirm he didn't do any codec lines or am I making things up

Alright you over-analysing and retentive dweebs. What are the odds of there being any "Spirits" from a Final Fantasy other than 7?

lmao fuck. well glad he said this at least so I can change my expectations because yeah, that pretty well obliterates Geno. Banjo could still have a chance tho if Banjo Kazooie is on the N64 Mini, but ehh it's slim. It's gonna be new game tie-ins all the way across most likely. o well hope they're something fun at least.

I used my Piranha Plant code and the store just said "thanks for using your code!" and booted me back to the home screen with a sound effect, no other indication or progress bar or anything to tell me it added the content Due to past experiences with digital storefronts getting flaky about DL codes if you don't do things EXACTLY right, I am now paranoid it didn't actually give it to me

i don't think there's been square spirits seen in the trailers and videos besides geno, so unless nintendo's contract with square prevents them from using it in pre-release showcases, i'm not too hopeful.

The only codec in the game is activated when you press down on all 8 Snakes at the same time on Big Battlefield, and it's just the video recording of David Hayter saying "Raiden, squeeze my hog!" from the video he sent to Vinny from Vinesauce

How about an entire FFX event Shulk possessed by spirit Tidus, with Zelda possessed by Lulu, and Ike by Auron

Does shulk have a endless laugh taunt?
