The Smash Bros Discussion Thread

It would be hella awkard not to have everyone return considering the amiibos still work and they announced new add ons still. Heck, Pac Man amiibo was shown off to work with little monsters.

JUSTICE FOR STAR TROPICS
JUSTICE FOR GOLDEN SUN
JUSTICE FOR RHYTHM HEAVEN
JUSTICE FOR WONDERFUL 101
JUSTICE FOR JAM WITH THE BAND

MOST IMPORTANTLY
JUSTICE FOR WALUIGI
 
I can see Corrin being replaced by Lyn
but Corrin had a pretty unique style so they might just fuckin' streeeeeetch those assets like smash do

give marth new voice clips you fuckers
english ones too
 
At the end of the trailer where it shows "2018" on the bottom right, it says "2018 Nintendo/HAL Laboratory".
If it was a port, it would say like "2014-2018 Nintendo". I'd love to see Shovel Knight or Shantae as an indie rep.

Also, a leak list on neogaf brought up the reveal of the inklings a week ago along with Ice Climbers and Chun-Li.
 
it's almost like Inklings were the most obvious picks

a smash leak with Inklings is like a vs capcom list with Ryu and Morrigan
 
guys i think that this new smash bros....
will have an ARMS character in it...!
 
Twinbelle in Smash 5 or the plumber gets it

EDIT: Oops I meant Twinbelle

I seriously really hope Chun-Li isn't in Smash 5 without Ryu.
If Ryu was there it'd make her hideous meaty thighs more palatable.
You can't ever have something with just Chun-Li.

considering it's smash bros it's probably be the first time Chun has looked good since TvC
i mean, Smash made Cloud purple again so anything is possible
 
Banking on my boy Dillon for this round.

Dillon's reveal plays out like a Sonic reveal and then Dillon just comes out of nowhere and Sonic just fuckin' dies
 
Robin also reps Awakening and has an awesome moveset, so I don't really see them rebuilding Lucina's function instead of replacing her.
 
The analysis is on point.

 
I seriously hope Lucina stays, but her status as a clone has me very weary.
This time can she have a variant with her mask, though, please?
I’d like it if one of her taunts let her put her mask on

It’d probably be too far for that to be a little temporary buff to let her stand up to Marth better tho kfjshdg
 
Okay look, I hopped off the Undertale train a while back because of the fandom it got.

But the port announcement and all kind of made me wish Papyrus was going to be in it.

I know, I know. Dead game, dead meme, yaddayaddayadda, but UT seemed to have been a huge success in Japan with the official JP patch release, and I still want to throw cold spaghetti at people's faces.

First things first tho: when's WALUIGI
 
I'd honestly really like them to just use 4 as a platform and just update it, I don't want to lose Ryu, Bayo and Cloud.
 
Undertale still has quite the fan following, it's by no means a dead game.
But yes, technically Undertale does have a chance now that it's on the Switch.

Anyway have Waluigi represent spin-offs, golf, tennis, kart, etc.
 
Let Lucina leave the mask on but all of her voice clips become Laura Bailey baneposting

See how many people use her then
 
I just want Rex (the protag of Xenoblade Chronicles 2).
 
Considering Xenoblade's increased popularity I wouldn't be surprised if Rex (and maybe by extension Pyra if not a gameplay mechanic then at least a final smash) make it to the roster. Also I wouldn't be surprised if the smash ballet might play a stronger role in this roster, at least for Nintendo characters.
 
just give me Takamaru please
I want that slicey boy
with projectile reflects on all his sword moves for accuracy

you jest, but
that would make her a good character then
 
Nintendo can put SNK on the map since SNK Heroines is coming soon. Why not Kyo?
 
My take

Smash 4 is so perfect and amazing in every way, I can't help but feel this game will feel lesser no matter what it does.

Smash 4 isnt perfect, but its no doubt almost perfection. If we could balance the customs so they could see tourney play...

what if smash 5 makes me let you out of the basement
 
Rage mechanic

I also hate how movement feels but the only other Smash game I have a somewhat competitive grasp on is Rivals of Aether, which feels... okay.
 
Everyone has a slight Lucario Aura thing as a universal mechanic, and it's called Rage by the players

when your character is damaged enough to be blinking and steaming, they have a slight knockback boost
 
if a match comes to rage deciding it the stock has gone on too long lol
 
And y'know how hitstun decay in MvC3 is dumb because the devs made an absolute exception for multihit moves?

Smash didn't even consider multihit moves. The mechanic affects base knockback instead of knockback growth, with no exceptions. Characters will fall out of all sorts of stuff for no reason.

Minimum Rage comes online at 35%. Also Sheik is a thing.

It's a half-baked way to buff heavyweights IMO, and stacks with Lucario Aura for a real X-Factor.

well then thats the opponent's fault for not knocking them out on that stock.

also, why Have Rex when you can have the real best character of Xenoblade 2?

I didn't know Morag could cosplay as Nia so well.
 
I'm sorry, but you cant beat a character that literally embodies "U 'AVIN' A GIGGLE THERE, MATE? I'LL BUST YA FOKKIN' HEAD IN, I SWEAR ON ME MUM!"

plus, show me how many times Morag called someone a penis.
 
Xenoblade 2 is anime muck slime and doesn't deserve to be anywhere near Smash. At least Xenoblade 1 had a resemblance of dignity.
