5 new fighters and 25 echo fighters, my dream come true!
Smash would basically be MUGEN at that point and I'd be fine with it.
Captain Caveman for Smash
6 fighter passes and a movie. SIX FIGHTER PASSES AND A MOVIE.
Codename STEAM soundtrack is amazing, glad it got a remix.
huh, 30 slots? that's the exact number of slots that the currect character select screen can hold without shrinking the icons, as per this mockup with piranha + 29 empty slots.
all 30 slots will be sans undertale
I'm still disappointed that Young Link is all OoT and no MM
This song was one of my top 3 CV tracks and this is now the BEST version of it I've heard.
I can't believe we have a spirit of Luigi that can be equipped, labeled Luigi (Tennis Clothes) and people still think spirits de-confirm anything.
It's literally just stock art thrown up and given a themed battle.
o god i want it to be true so badly now
...in which case, it now makes sense why they opted for 30. Pretty neat how it all works out, what with the Piranha Plant, separated Mii Fighters, etc.
Don't you think 30 DLC characters would be a bit much?
god can you imagine that many newcomers
all depends on how long they want to let smash ultimate run, really.
plus that number could be padded with some echoes, meaning it wouldn't be 30 *all new* characters.
I am no stranger to coincidences in Smash speculation. And these open slots might be a coincidence. 6 Fighter passes would take 6 years to make.
I honestly think the 30 extra slots isn’t really indicative of anything. It’s probably just a kind of “just in case” thing the devs did for if they do make more than 5 DLC characters (6 counting Pirahna Plant).
I agree, I was just noting it's pretty neat how it all works out anyways in terms of fitting that template. I could see maybe another Season at max if we get really, really lucky.
Independent of that, maybe we get a small handful of new echos for free.
Dude wtf why does megaman have like 80 new remixes and why are they all insane bangers what the fuck.
They're all locked to a single stage too wtfff
Those 30 slots most likely "just in case" if they want to keep supporting the games for the whole Switch's life.
Agreed, and I noticed that the song has a bit of the Bloodlines Bequethed (Portrait of Ruins version) at the end of the second verse.
The current CEO of Nintendo says he absolutely loves DLC. And says he wants to give Nintendo games more DLC. I don't see them letting a game like smash be done with DLC a year after release.
Funny enough that all of the songs are remix aside from medleys.
when you include the idea of echo fighters being in that, the 30 placeholder slots doesnt seem nearly as crazy. its still crazy... but y'know... food for thought
When they already said they wouldn't do echo fighters for DLC. That only leaves them to free updates.
But I guess it really depends if they count giving a DLC character an echo when you buy them counts as DLC.
I would feel really bad for Sakurai if he was chained to Smash for six more years. Even if he enjoys working on it, dude needs a break at some point I would imagine
I wouldn't be surprised Sakurai letting Nintendo choose newcomers might be the start of him slowly handing the reins over.
Isn't it the other way around where Nintendo gave him a list and told him to pick from it?
I would imagine developing the DLC characters to be a lot less stressful then developing the whole game.
I had the impression that it was an imposition Nintendo forced onto Sakurai, which is kinda odd when you consider the motifs of Smash 4 and Ultimate lol.
Smash 4's newcomers for the base roster were mostly safe picks, perhaps friendly to corporate interests, but the DLC was mostly hardcore fan service (Mewtwo, Ryu, Cloud Strife, etc).
Ultimate's newcomers for the base roster are largely hardcore fan service, but the DLC this time around may be picks that are friendly to corporate interests. I'm not complaining (unless the character picks are really sucky) as the base roster is already so good, but I nevertheless find the contrast amusing
with 30 echoes one has to wonder how many color swaps can they sell as DLC.
