>Extremely good moveset potential
>Uses sword, shield and multiple magical attacks so would be very unique
>Everyone will love playing as him because of this
>He'll advertise the game really well in Japan
>Square Enix are probably paying Nintendo for his inclusion to advertise DQ in the west
face it Yea Forums, he would be a great addition and all the evidence points towards his inclusion
Slime or fuck off
/thread
just because everyone recognises and loves slime doesn't mean anyone wants it in smash. what would it even do?
Stretch
hover
fire ball spell
transform into a slime knight
transform into slime tower
transform into Slime king
this is not a character. sure this is an entity that can fight. but you might as well bring in the easter island head from dreammix tv fighters. no one wants this the same reason no one wanted piranha plant which is more recognisable and has better moveset potential than slime
Are you stupid, plenty of slimes can talk and even join your party in the games
It has more of a character than Loto
Every DQ fan wants slime, only shitposters want DQ3 hero
Hell Slime has his own game series with rocket slime
There are slime tamagotchis too
>plenty of slimes can talk
>slimes
>slime with an s
further proof this isn't a character. is there one slime with great moveset that can talk and everyone recognises? no there isn't. everyone sees slime as a generic mob
how are you gonna spell slime without an s
I dont understand why thats a negative
Every pokemon in the game except mewtwo has the same thing about them, and ROB who was never in any videogame of his own, or Game and watch, or Yoshi even
>what would it even do?
This is not an argument considering piranha plant exists.
Based
What would Loto do besides fling his sword around and use lighting magic?
Oh look we already have Robin for that
DLC is meant to be special, that's why it matters
see everyone hates piranha plant
this
This is the only thing I recognize as being specifically from that series, and that would also be a unique fighter that stands out
Use other magic and summon slimes just because
Slime is extremely popular and would be very special.
Also DQ heroes never get to ba playable outside their games
See DQ Heroes, even in the card game DQ Rivals Heroes cannot be summoned normally and act as kind of supports
>Erdrick
>this the same reason no one wanted piranha plant
pirannha plant is an amazing and hilarious addition to the roster, I only wish he was higher tier
FUCK JAPAN
FUCK ANIME
AND FUCK SWORD USERS
>anime swordsman
>unique
ughhhhhhhhh
HOLY SHIT BASED
>FUCK SMASH BROS
Why are you posting in this thread then?
based plant poster
We need to start over with Smash 64, before anime and swords ruined the roster.
Do people really not remember that Nintendo chose the DLC and Sakurai just approved them
Nintendo is clearly trying to push DQ, they gave more time to DQ11 than any other game except for 3 Houses, and thats not counting the minute they gave to builders as well. Nintendo is also publishing the game in the west but they've published alot of the mainline DQ games on their systems in the west
We need to alienate fatgots like you that label every asian looking humanoid character as anime. Also most video game protagonists use swords, of course there's a lot of swordsmen
So is there any other DQ games on console besides DQXI in the west?
Abel from DQV would be much more versatile.
>Link
can we get Jessica from VIII instead
DQ 1-4 for NES, 7 for PS1 and 8 for PS2. I recommend 8 user!
1,2,3,4,7,8
Heroes 1 and 2
1,2,3,4,7,8 are all on console
but they all have better versions on handhelds (not sure about 7 or 8 being better), 5 and 6 are on DS
ANIME
SWORDSMAN
7 on PS1 and 8 on PS2
and the builders games are both on the switch
>Nintendo is pushing DQ
this for sure. they get a cut for every game sold on switch but along with that they want it to be known as the console for JRPGs which nintendo consoles were before the n64. same reason they picked Joker
its already looking like joker is gonna use a sword/long dagger as his main attack, why the fuck do we need more of this shit
I don't give a shit about him, so no
Also, he's not a swordsman, so that's already a plus. We also will be getting a DQV movie later this year. It would be dumb to get Erdrick instead of him.
>nintendo backing jrpgs in 2019
this strategy might've made sense 20 years ago but no one gives a shit about jrpgs anymore
Y-you too!
Based
>spells
>shield
>a sword
Wow, sure would be an interesting character.
I'm not against Erdrick, I just want Crono more.
>NPC over MC
No.
I get it but there's a lot of potential. they have a lot to work with
Guy, they made a moveset out of a plant. A plant. I'm just hoping for a JRPG protagonist that's a bit less white bread.
What if I want both.
yeah nintendo needs to get with the times and pander to the fortnite zoomers
WE NEED MORE GODDAMN SWORDSMEN
WE JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH
Is there seriously no ports of the old Dragon Quest games to PC, PS4, Switch, or Xbone? Why? I know its a niche series but come on now I wanna play these games without resorting to having to use an emulator.
At least make it the DQVI protagonist, he uses a staff instead of a sword
We already have three Links you asshole
They're all on mobile.
I'd ask why mobile of all things but whatever. Are they good ports?
Thing is, third parties are supposed to bring something unique to the table (according to Sakurai's own words). Even with how fucking dumb he is as an addition, Joker's Persona mechanic will be pretty unique.
What does a sword/shield/magic/tools guy bring to the table that the Links and Robin don't? If you lean on the possibility of summons, wouldn't that just be a rehash of Pokémon Trainer or Joker's gimmicks?
Another Link but without projectiles and bombs. Useless.
Yeah they're the best versions. DQIV especially.
counterpoint: Erdrick riding a slime as a slime knight
sakurai and nintendo dont care, this fighter pass is meant to pimp out jap 3rd parties
I haven't heard a single idea for Erdrick's moveset that actually sounds cool or unique.
PS4 and 3DS in Japan has ports of 1-3. We didn't get them for some reason though even though the new translations are done.
>What does a sword/shield/magic/tools guy bring to the table that the Links and Robin don't?
Erdrick uses more than a sword and has more versatile magic.
The only reason people want a human DQ rep in is to appease Japs and hipsters. Slime would at least have way more unique potential and be far more recognizable (like, to the point where lots of people have seen it but not necessarily know what it's from), yet people shriek and cry over it being a universal species for the series rather than a game specific character that only Japs autistically worship.
So he has tools besides his main weapon, right? Well go on then, Link and Simon would love to hear more!
Shieeet man. Idk what to tell you. You can trivialize any character with your thinking.
Don't expect good DLC characters from hackurai
She is right
Based and slimepilled
Then either provide something that well and truly sets a DQ human rep apart (I'll be generous and expand this to any of the main player avatars in the mainline games, not just Erdrick) from the rest of the Smash cast, or just sit there and cope.
Slime would be great desu
Nobody cares about your manlet Vegeta ripoff. They want a proper roster addition
Different user but there really isn't anything.You can maybe stretch and have V's hero since he uses a stick and has control over monsters. Erdrick fans want Erdrick just because they like him.
>This guy is just Robin with a shield
>All 12 Robin mains out there will now love him and play him
>Hell be one of the biggest shill picks in Smash history despite being a nobody for half of the Smash playerbase
>This somehow equals a good inclusion
We already have a jrpg character in this dlc pack. I dont care if this guy is popular in Japan, I want characters I actually know, not Corrin 2. Unless we get a character thats popular in the west only to balance it out, then gay pride Goku can fuck himself.
>has a sword
>uses alchemy
>doesn’t use a shield because shields are for pussies
Give me a reason why he shouldn’t be in instead of edrick
>Unironically wanting Alphonse in Smash
Calm on user at least use someone like WaLuigi for bait.
Y'all want Erdrick in Smash but you're blind to what you need!
Absolutely based. Although Aqua may have the higher chance. She has all the evidence Sora has to be a good fighter, and she's a girl. Smash waifus usually get popular and she'd likely be welcomed in open arms.
Who says I’m baiting
And his name is edward
Slime would be a DQ rep I'd actually get behind. But the prospect of a boring human avatar otherwise has me sour on the idea of a DQ fighter. Slime would also have the bonus benefit of shitting in the mouths of leakfags, Japanese boomers, and weeaboo hipsters.
I find most of the leaks pretty boring.
>Sora
>Erdrick
>Banjo
>Master Chief
>Doomguy
Booring
You guys are blind to the truth. The DLC character isn't Erdrick, Sora or Banjo and it's not even Geno! It's none other than the Invincible Parco Folgore! Everyone now!
>Ironman Folgore
>Invincible Folgore
>Brave and Strong Folgore
>He always wins the day!
>not wanting a character than can summon cannons from the ground and swap between a sword and a spear
Fuck meant for
>Slime is the fighter
>DQ avatars get relegated to Mii Costumes
Oh my fuck. Yes please.
Sounds like a win for everyone.
>I want characters I actually know
Oh does Nintendo have the character for you!
DQ3, the best game, misses a lot like the funboard game elements. But eh, its alright.
Anime swordman with a down b counter
>erdrick is a mii
>insiders desperately try to backpedal as they get shit on from all sides
It will be glorious
how did you know thats my favorite character?
They'll say
>Muh sources got confused!
>They saw a map with Erdrick Mii and Slime!
>Oh pfft I knew that this whole time but promised my silence
>Look at me I'm a Virgin named Ben
God, for some reason only leakfags came to mind when I made my post but I didn't think of the leakers themselves. The amount of egg on their faces would be unreal, especially those that specifically said "Erdrick".
