I still want Giygas as a mewtwo echo

his up-smash can be his Earthbound form as the swirl!
 
And maybe an indie fighter, probably Shantae (come on unlikely Skullgirls rep)

You mean the Shantae who originated on Game Boy Color?

. . . and? Wayforward is an "independent game developer" aka indie dev, so Shantae is an indie game when the got their start doesn't matter.
 
It would be cool to see her though. If you take all her games he ye extra modes in then, Shantae has a massive variety of move to add in.
 
I'm over Shovel knight being an assist simply because of how important that an Indie character, let alone one that originated in America, managed to get an assist. That plus Dark Samus is pretty big for other characters who originated in America, because now it's not just all Japan (And some Europe, lookin' at you Diddy Kong & King K Rool)
 
guys you know what's a popular indie title in both the west AND japan

i'll give you a hint
it's undertale

I want the annoying dog as an assist trophy, replacing nintendog at random

More likely than you think.
Sakurai played (and apparently liked) Undertale when it was on PC.
It's coming to Switch.
Strong DLC candidate if anything.

The comment is about Shantae's origin, not development history.
 
I'm confused.

Golf Story golfer for Smash.
 
rt tho the only indie character that I really think should be playable is Quote, due to just how important it is to gaming history

even if they have to make him, like, a mega man echo, i think Cave Story deserves its place in the game, moreso than other indie picks

Just for the record, I voted for Quote in the Smash Direct

Though, a comment made me wonder. That's Ridley, Simon, and King K Rool.
Who's left from the Smash Ballots biggest front runners? Probably Bandanna Dee.
and even then that's not a hard confirm, I heard Ashley was popular in the Japan side of the Ballot.
And no, don't mention meme picks like Goku and Shrek
 
Dee is a strong pick for Japan appeal.
They go nuts for him and he has merch upon merch, as much as the other main three
 
I'd laugh if they end up giving Shadow a CG trailer with someone else when he's revealed, making Sonic the only 3rd party to not have a CG or animated reveal.
Also I have another prediction; the 3 smash directs will start or end with a 3rd party reveal and in order of the 3 I predict
1. Rayman (and rabbids [and Shadow echo])
2. Geno (or Sora kinda up in the air IMO probably Geno though and Zack echo)
3. Indie character (or maybe just Banjo & Kazooie)
 
The real question is who the shit's gonna be the Pokemon Gen VII Rep now?
Mimikyu's fuckin' out
Decidueye is there but we already have Archer archetypes.
Lycanroc is there but he never really hda a chance
Buzzwole is fine and would bench press
Incineroar's design is fucking goddamn awful but I can see Sakurai picking him for a wrestler character
Who's left?
Zeraora?
I can see Sakurai picking him just because he looks cool
 
incineroar deserves to be in the grounds that Malicious Moonsault is the hypest shit in literally any pokemon game
 
I just hold an insane grudge against Incineroar squandering it's final evo design to just being another "kinda fighting/fire even though it's not fighting" design after 2 really good prevo designs which is why I really hope it's not him.
 
It's going to be Decidueye, Rowlet is crazy popular in Japan, beating out the second most popular Mimikyu and Rowlet fairly pop every else as well. So the 3rd evolution is going to be carried by the first evo, also Pokken. Or Zeraora just for being a flashy event legendary bull.
 
I would think Necrozma is a possible candidate, although I would at least think he'd be a boss character.
 
While Rowlett is super popular, Imcineroar seems to be the fav final evo of the starter trio, and is also the 2nd most used pokemon in japan vgc rankings. I can see him, despite me really wantimg ghost owl.

Touhou? :p


Anyway, I don't have any real wish or predictions myself but I wanted to say I'm ecstatic with all that Castlevania rep... Simon AND Richter (i'm totally gonna main Richter, he sexy), Alucard as an AT, Dracula's Castle featuring classic bosses from the series, Dracula himself as a boss apparently? ... and that music selection... I'm so happy tbh. I remember crying during the direct lol

Happy for the K.Rool fans, too young to have nostalgia for DKC (did watch the cartoon as a young kid however), but dude looks fun and nice. And the new echo fighters are good too (Chrom can finally take his revenge on Cpt.Falcon ^-^ )
Yeah, a LOT of great stuff, that game is really gonna be something uh.
 
You'll take Pika Libre and you'll like it.
We don't need second worst Final Evo design.
(First worst is definitely Tepig's final evo, man what were they thinking?!)

pikachu libre murdered Hawlucha in cold blood i do not acknowledge her

(also Emboar is based on Zhu Bajie to compliment Infernape being based on Sun Wukong)
(also also Delphox is still worse than both)
 
Can we get Detective Pikachu as an alt? with the weird dub included?
 
Ok, the new Remix of Gangplank Galleon from the K. Rool Reveal is epic!

Especially as it is official to the DK Stages in game now.


Edit: has anyone tried using Agent 8 to fight DJ Octavio and Callie in the Octovalley Story yet?

Wrong topic bro.

If you enter Octo Valley as an Octoling, it automatically switches you back to an inkling.
 
I love all these weirdo song/composer combos smash ulti is having going on
if you told me that the xenoblade guy was going to remix gangplank galleon I'd have a hard time believing it

now WHERE is my Naganuma Splatoon remix, you fuckers
or Yuu Miyake on a Kirby Song, I want a mix entirely of poyos
 
Tetra would by a neat Toon Link Echo

Also I'm just hoping that this song gets to be a misc song somewhere

Why does nobody ever consider Silvally? It's technically one of your rivals' trademark Pokemon after all and it was made for the purpose of the villains' plan to capture Ultra Beasts meaning it has story related connections.

Simple enough, outside of Pikachu who can stand on it's rear legs, no Quadruped has been playable yet in Smash bros.


And I have some big news, the Traditional Best buy Locations for Smash Ultimate have been revealed...and they start NEXT WEEK!!!

Here are the list and dates of Best Buy Locations in the USA where we can play, with some possibly being Tournaments!
 
hello? Ivysaur is right there...

And considered Low tier in the trio when you use Pokemon Trainer.

Though I do wonder if Charizard will still have a separate entry like he did in 3DS/Wii U
 
He wont unless all 3 have the oprion, which due to the evidence weve seen is extremely doubtful
 
Isabelle confirmed! And the best part is she's not an echo!
