Who could they possibly add as the final character for the Fighter's Pass? Obviously it would have to go out with a bang like Sm4sh DLC did with Bayonetta. In fact, calling it now, reveals 2 and 4 will be "meh" or disappointing whereas this and the E3 2019 reveal will break the internet like Joker did.
Smash Bros Ultimate Final Challenger Pack
A actual joke character that would outrage the everyone
Hatsune Miku
Jill Valentine
Sora or Sephiroth
FE Character
This would absolutely destroy Yea Forums
*outrage everyone
we already got piranha plant
Phoenix Wright
Shock character that shocked people previously back and gets them in the ass once more.
>go out with a bang like Sm4sh DLC did with Bayonetta
Should've been Cloud. Bayo didn't hold a candle to the shitstorm he caused with his reveal
2. Erdrick
3. Steve
4. Ryu
5. Doomguy
No I'm not just parroting the 5chan leak. I genuinely believed that erdrick, steve, and doomguy will be in. It's just Ryu that I put because he was in the rumor and because I couldn't think of another relevant third party character that could be in. Anyway, doomguy would be the most shocking reveal they could end with, after already showing that western characters like Steve coudl be in.
Sora would break the internet more then Cloud did
Honestly at this point no video game character can cause as much surprise and rule breaking as Cloud did
In classic smash fashion by either pissing everyone off with a joke or subverting every possible expectation

You sure about that chief?
Anime characters will never be in Smash, otherwise Ash Ketchum would have been added with Pikachu in Smash 64
Stevelets go home
i wouldn't even be mad
Master Chief, Master Hand or Goku would be one hell of an exit
Reimu would break the entire internet, there's not a single character (JP Only) that would even come close to the amount of seething & pure WTF as a Touhou girl making it
>master hand

Is there another Ryu I need to know about
You mean Billy hatcher?
Q*Bert
Frogger
Space Invader
that guy in the blue jacket and red hat from those old educational games
From ninja gaiden. It's a nes classic which is why I believe he could be in.

Joker is much less known than these two are
This will be your final fighter in Smash Bros history
I'm disappointed in you for falling for that obvious bait.
Persona 5 was voted the most greatest game of all time by Japan last year, Doom has been irrelevant for 20 years. Metroid Prime 4's JPG got more excitement then anything Doom related has gotten this entire century
>I genuinely believed that erdrick, steve, and doomguy will be in
Where the fuck is Joker first off
You don’t know what you’re talking about
Master Chief
>Character DLC would be something Easter related
Shame we don't have many bunny characters.
Erdrick is practically confirmed (inb4 people say he's not), Steve is likely as well, and after that point it wouldn't rule out other western characters.
April 25th most likely thanks to Atlus' autism.
It’s in the bag.
I genuinely want Sora
Nope. Steve's looking less and less likely! Banjo all the way baby!
Honestly, if you look at the best selling games of all time, Smash already covers a lot of them. Would be funny to see a T-block, Trevor, and PUBG guy in
Didn't realize how fucking well Terraria sold, Jesus Christ
We got eggs though
Actually i do, not a single Western game or character made Japan's list of favorites. Even Americans don't give a fuck about Doomguy, Doom stopped being relevant ages ago. The only time it gets discussed is when someone mentions "Most influential games". Even in 2005 it wasn't remotely as relevant as Metroid Prime, Halo, Half-Life 2 or GoldenEye
Listen I don't even like Steve but there's absolutely no way Banjo is getting in over him. I know your childhood nostalgia wants him to be in smash but you have to face reality.
minecraft is popular but steve isn't.
Goku
They’re so far gone from the original point of the series that it doesn’t even matter anymore. They can add him in just fine.
This, Yea Forums is so retarded that they think "Game Popularity" somehow equates to the amount of people that actually like & relate to the character
Here's what i predict.
>Banjo
>Crash
>Indie Rep
>Master Chief
Ash Ketchum is infinitely more iconic then Goku or any other Japanese cartoon character. You are retarded if you think Goku is getting in over the face of the world's only 100 billion dollar franchise
There's no way Steve is getting in over Banjo. I know your zoomer nostalgia wants him to be in Smash Bros, but you have to face reality. :)
$24 billion vs $90 billion. That's not that dramatic a difference as you make it seem
> 70 Billion dollars isn't that big of a difference
Confirmed retard
i don't give a fuck. i literally just want them to release joker and announce the next character already for fucking fucks sake
>character who is present in every single piece of dragon ball related media
vs
>character only present in the anime adaption of a video game series
Fuck off false flagging fag
Uchiha Madara
All of them
or maybe none of them are getting in
if the first 3 really are joker, erdrick and banjo like most people seem to think, the last 2 must be truly unbelievable...
im really not sure who could be the most hype for the general public after that other than actually putting waluigi in.
i think it could be any 2 between dhovakiin, dante, viewtiful joe, leon kennedy/chris redfield, seigfried/nightmare, ezio, master chief, doomguy, and sub-zero
>Western trash
yikes
I want Pepe and at least three Gokus
those are all retarded. one of the newcomers will definitely be sora since he is more popular than every one of those characters
d'awwww did Mr. Bear touch you in an inappropriate place Stevie?
Bigger than LotR, James Bond, Call of Duty, Transformers, etc.
Bigger than SF and Sonic and undoubtebly countless other Smash franchises
Okay.

Happy now faggot?
This honestly

No, replace it with a FE character since it's going to happen no matter what
>*blocks your path*
Can we please just have one smash thread without it devolving into steve and banjo fags shitting up the thread? Just one.
i wish i could kill anybody who genuinely believes steve would get in. you have to be a massive retard to think that fucking abomination of a western character has a 0.1% chance
Shame it got deconfirmed by one of the devs awhile back. ;) All bow down to Godbear!

No Western character will ever be playable in Smash unless they are owned by Nintendo
You do realize that Japan loves Crash right?

Why do retards actually think that famous 3rd party game characters and hot gaming franchises getting reps is the same thing as reps originating from comic books from shonen jump?
Goku isn't a videogame character
?
Can anyone beat her?
It's all going to be third party characters. Didn't you retards realize this after smash 4's DLC? None of you bottom of th barrel nintendo characters are getting in, that's what the base game is for.
Based Phoenix Chad
God heard you
Banjo is western too
That's a reference to Link's Awakening
This deconfirms Master Chief tho.
And then the true identity of the sandbag is revealed when they finally show his hands
This.
>When your NEVER EVER is in the game with some baller music
WHERE
THE
FUCK
IS
PORKY
Lol no, don’t clump Erdrick with Steve.
The steve talk is the only thing keeping him alive, it was all from absolutely bullshit source that people keep forgetting was impossible at fucking June 2018.
right answer
>Erdrick during april direct
>Steve during E3 so nintendo and microsoft can show off
>ryu in september direct because nobody really cares about him
>doomguy at game awards 2019
Unironically maybe Waluigi, back on the day with the backlash of Waluigi being assist Nintendo talk about Waluigi and aknowledge it, Even Reggie says he talk to Sakurai about ir
Waluigi is so unexpected at this point than it could work
He's in
Remind me again, wasn’t itoi the one who handled the trophies and descriptions in the past games?
What if he was the only reason anything Mother related besides the fighters to get recognition? Maybe the only reason Porky wasn’t here is because Itoi wasn’t handling spirits
why no dixie kong love? shes the most likely, steve banjo , and edrick no one cares about. id rather have master chief, aloy, mr foster from killing floor, saberwulf from killer instinct. you guys like stupid characters, also pirahna plant rocks you stupid faces. user out *drops mic*
Joker was obviously the only character they had available and confirmed in the fighter pass. Why the fuck else are they not confirming/announcing any fucking other character yet? Not surprising if fighter pass sales are lower than expected because we know fucking nothing but Joker and he's not going to be out for another year.
Dixie and other specific characters are in a Limbo because we don’t actually know if Spirits deconfirm characters.
We know Trophies don’t anymore because Lucas and Mewtwo got trophies before their reveal
Whats the matter /v?
I cant be harder to keep out of smash than a planet can I?
They will be his FS obviously.
Or they could be used for his special attacks and his real final smash is the Home Run Contest but this time the sandbag hits you.
>Ryu Hayabusa
>Hunter (Monster Hunter)
>DQ main character
>West game representative (doom/master chief/banjo/steve)
mark my word
Porky is literally just a fat kid in a spider mech because he’s lazy
If theyre owned by nintendo they aint western
She's in.

He'll be a summon ability for a playable Giegue.
Unrelated but does anyone have this as a blank template I can't seem to find it
Goku has more vidya games then ash.
By a lot like a lot alot
Four games on the famicom bro.
Arcade era and nes era... Goku is vidya
Better question
Which other third party would somehow be more Jewish with their content than Square Enix
I would say Konami, but after Castlevania I'm somehow surprised by the outcome.
A western company, maybe?
only company I could think off its Blizzard
Shame, I'd actually kinda like Arthas as a surprise out of nowhere choice.
Why was square so stingy anyway?
Was nomura being an asshole or what’s going on? Does it really cost that must money for the license?
If I see another sword user, the whole pack is a disappointment
Joker isn’t really a sword combatant though, he will just have a dagger but it won’t be his main focus
That's just your head canon, it doesn't HAVE to be some big blowout
>inb4 joker's down b is a counter
Stop saying that
Sakurai ended the ultimate roster with Incineroar
Your head canon big blowout does not exist
Square is not jealous of their property, they like money. Pretty much as long as they get a big part they are game, but nintendo is having none of that.
He doesn’t have a counter in game though
I hope so
>Steve is last and they treat him like some monumental reveal
Based and Giant Egg Pilled
I feel like Bayo was meh to some people
To most people. Cloud or even Ryu should have been the final character.
If you've played the game, what will his down b be?
>rosterfags seething
>pokefags seething
>twitchfags furiously googling who he is
>i get a new co-main to go with kirby
perfect ending to the fighter pass, make it happen sakurai!
His specials would most likely be Arsene as the trailer implied so probably some of his attacks
Bayo was the best reveal for me since I love the series.
You do understand that the point of Steveposting is pissing off the obnoxious rosterfags, right?
Tak
Shitposting ironically is still shitposting
Roster is full of literal whos and Terry is not in yet
STINKY DAY
I dunno, Digimon is in a weird state where, it originate from a game device, similar to game n watch, but its also extremely popular outside of its original media, kinda like pokemon, who were also rivals in the late 1990 - early 2000, just like Sonic and Mario... I don't know, the more I think about it the more it make sense, but I the same time I don't see it happening in the near future, who knows.
Fuck you, this sounds really likely and I fucking hate you for putting this dread in my mind.
I like her.
I mean, I haven't touched Digimon since Season 1 of the anime and I'd be pretty okay with it, actually. Be kinda weird to get someone that isn't a main character for a 3rd party, though.
The REAL phantom thief.
ash would be the absolute worst character to bring out in top 8's at tournaments.
Geno would make people lose their minds.
>Steve is last and they treat him like some monumental reveal

They will someday if the demand for one is high enough.
>Third Partys will never be in Smash
>Third parties without a Nintendo history will never be in Smash!
>Ridley/K.Rool will never be in Smash!
etc.
Ash has essentially been in since Brawl, Smash already takes elements from the Pokemon anime heavily over the games at times, and they even gave the english Pokemon Trainer VA an awful gravelly voice similar to Ash. Any casual who ever sees Pokemon Trainer in Smash already calls them Ash anyways, not Red.

What are his chances?
Sakurai going out of his way to mention that the Fighter Pass characters WON'T be Echo Fighters kinda makes me feel like they could add Echo Fighters for free separately from the Pass characters along the way. She would be a prime choice. I'm probably just reading too far into things though, but Echo Fighters just seem like incredibly good and easy DLC options to keep hype going without a great deal of development time so it would be a mistake to pass up the chance.
Sora
Phoenix Wright
Banjo
Hunter from MH
I really want Sora but I got joker so I can’t complain.
A draw fag should make this
>Hatsune Miku
that would be so hype.
Ms Pac Man is one of my most wanted Newcomers, and just a week ago I realized she doesn't have a Spirit which made me SO certain she's gonna be an Echo. I looked into it though and she's got some weirdly fucked copyright issues behind her. Apparently Namco doesn't even fully own her, from what I could tell it's MIdway that does?? I think that might be the real reason she's not in in any capacity and sadly might diminish all her chances
Sophitia or Nigthmare from SC
preferably Sophitia
Bout time we got a Chinese character in Smash
Serious question, would SNK want Terry to be the guest since he's already in EX Layer?
Hatsune Miku would actually be pretty fun.
oh shut the fuck up
>In fact, calling it now, reveals 2 and 4 will be "meh" or disappointing whereas this and the E3 2019 reveal will break the internet
That's kind of what I'm thinking too, #2 will be something boring and predictable like Erdrick or something equally gay if the rumors about him were BS
Then #3 will be some big fan-favorite request like Banjo
#4 will be something nobody even asked for like a Dragalia character or something, a Fire Emblem rep would also work here
And then finally #5 will be their end with a bang internet-breaker, maybe Goku
Terry is pretty much the presentation card of SNK, Iori and Kyo are from an already existing cross over, Ryo can easily be confused with Ryo, and Haomaru and Athena came from a way too niche series. The other character I can think of is maybe May, but I don't know, she is not exactly family friendly.
Nightmare is my ultimate pipe dream. Give him a Siegfried Echo and he'd legit be perfect, but I'd really just take Nightmare if not. He's gotta have his rematch with Link.
pretty obvious two of them will be crash and spyro so nintendo can pretend they're getting one over on sony again.
Noctis would be the ideal Corrin 2.0
>heavy hitter long range
do we have one of those in smash? Simon/Richer are more of a zoner type and Gannondorf is not exactly long range.
2. Erdrick or anything DQ really
3. Banjo or Steve
4. Laharl, Crash, or KOS-MOS
5. Sans, Monokuma, Reimu, or _Bond._
Sora is in but he won't be the last (Prob 4th but who knows maybe last)
I think the last will be
A. Banjo
and
B. Announcement of Fighters pass 2
Fuck you idiot, who the fuck do you want? Because I guarantee they are shittier than Sora
Ike and Dedede have some range to them, at least. Ganondorf has the F-Smash but that's more or less it. I'd love to see him have like a unique Parry System using something like Guard Crushes.
>Laharl
My absolute nigga
Terry is SNK´s Ryu in terms of representative characters so i think he would fit.
You want to know how they are going to really shake it up?
ITS GONNA BE EMELIA FROM FUCKING RE:ZERO. ITS AN ANIME CHARACTER BUT ITS NOT THE ONE EVERYONE EXPECTS IT WILL SET THE INTERNET ON FIRE
Better question would be: Are we getting a season 2 fighter pass after that?
I'm whiling to pay for another round of characters instead of waiting for another game. specially after how Rex + Pyra/Mythra got robbed so hard.
nightmare would be cool but we don't need another Big Sword nigga. Ike, cloud, and now ganon.
Who
I would not be surprised in the slightest if they did, since it's clearly out of Sakurai's hands now if they're the ones making the shortlist
>Are we getting a season 2 fighter pass after that?
No
Who I want
>Travis
>Eggman
>Leon
>Crash
Who it will probably be
>Erdrick
>Steve
>Bamco rep
>Doomguy/Dragonborn
Who it shouldn't be
>Sora
>Another Fe shitter
>Another shillmon
>Geno/waluigi or any other shitty meme pick
If they can do unique things with him, like SC mechanics into Smash gameplay, or having a unique gameplay style to separate him from the rest of the cast, then I think sharing an aesthetic with 4 characters in a 75+ character roster is fine.
>it would have to go out with a bang
Sakurai adds himself or Iwata
>steve
i doubt it
at this point, it could legit be the 2chan leak but with banjo instead of steve.
erdrick isn't even that shitty of a pick he just gets lumped in with the meme characters on Yea Forums that people hate
The 2chan leak was fake, but the Erdrick/Joker one could be real.
Liquid Snake
i'd prefer MGS2 Raiden
>Bayonetta
>Bang
Her games sell like shit though
she also ruined tr4sh even more, which was pretty bad in the first place.
I think banjo has a shot too, and by shitty meme picks I mean geno/waluigi/poochy/reimu/saber/sylux bottom of the barrel crap not erdrick
>Erdrick is practically confirmed
You're practically retarded
>i don't like the character, therefore it's a shitty meme pick
literally the only meme pick would be goku or something because he doesn't even originate from a video game
or something like, say, literally reggie
the fuck is with zoomers and calling any character they don't like a 'meme pick'? happened with ridley and he got in, who the fuck cares. let people want who they want.
I can't believe I actually miss the days of obnoxious pretentious fucks who knew an obscure character. I'd take them over "literally who" zoomers anyday honestly
>Monokuma
Why do I hear him mentioned for Smash so often? Why would they put in an edgelord bear from a VN? Might as well put in Saber at that point.
Literally. Just imagine how Yea Forums would react
I really doubt it, Sakurai has mentioned the team is getting smaller as they make the DLC and the project comes to a close, they'd have to do something odd like take a break but then get the whole team back together, or bring in an entirely new team for the second wave.
He is popular in Japan, and Sakurai has praised the series he is a mascot for.
I unironically want the mc of the new FE game cause he looks cool and apperantly has time powers. Nothing else I've seen proposed sounds both interesting and fun to play. Porky's neat but heavies are uniformly boring garbage for 12 year olds.
Unfortunately, not originally vidya.
Very low. But he'd be perfect.
Not happening.
Actually now that I'm thinking about it what's stopping soccerguy from making a superheavy that has the combo game of pikachu, peach or bayonetta? What could possibly go wrong?
it's weird that he says they're doing that, yet they're hugely future-proofing with a ridiculous amount of slots. people say sm4sh had a lot of empty slots left untouched and that was blatantly untrue. all of its slots got filled and one more was even added to account for corrin's male and female options.
i think it's 50/50 on whether it'll happen or not. i'm not betting on it though.
>that Capcom rep
would be fuckin based, but its a kids game. same with Pyramid Head.
He's right tho.
Obligatory post, I'll be on my way out
>Felicia
I love her, but no. Third Party characters aren't going to be anything but main characters
Persona, MGS and Bayonetta wouldn't be approved by most american parents either, user.
All it needs is Dimitri instead of Felicia.
pyra and mythra got censored, and they're just stickers. i dunno.
The fact that even that Japanese market would rather see Slime way more than Erdrick speaks volumes
Not him or you but Erdrick has insanely high chances. He has too much going for him.
>mfw
doesn't mean nintendo wouldn't pick erdrick, though, especially since sakurai loves dq3. joker is such a sakurai pick it hurts, and erdrick would be, too
he's not confirmed but he's ridiculously likely. i give him a 90% chance.
This is it, Luigi.
But I like Felicia better
All of these sound like pretty realistic pics I could actually see happening desu.
>Hatsune Miku
not vidya though
No he wouldn't. The precedent is already there for a SE character and PlayStation characters now.
There's no better way to end this Smash cycle than this, desu.
cope
Been a while since I've heard that
cringe
I am leaning a fair bit towards there only being one Fighter Pass. For one, I feel Sakurai wouldn't want the game to be milked too much. If the Fighter Pass is all third-party characters, then that lowers the chances of a second pass even more due to his opinion about too many third-parties (even if it's lessened somewhat since the Brawl days) and the mere fact that it would make it hard for a second pass to match the first. If they plan to add modes with each fighter like the all-but-confirmed Home-Run Contest and Stage Builder with 3.0.0, then that's yet another reason to not hope for another pass. It feels like the only substantial thing going for the propanility of a second pass is the potential profit that could come from it, but that's still not a guarantee of it when there are signs they might want to treat the current pass with a sense of finality.
On a side note, I do agree about the spoiler, even if the timing was a hard issue to avoid. I feel they had more going for them than Spring Man as well since Xenoblade is more of a proven franchise at this point in time.
