So a thought crossed my mind, and I think I have a new guess for Fighter Pass 2-6. I think the final character will be the Shin Megami Tensei V protagonist, bookending 1-1 being Joker. Now that we know SMT V is going to launch well before Fighter Pass 2 ends, we know it's entirely possible, and the game is one of the biggest system exclusives on the Switch, in a series with a lot of history, and Sega/Atlus already have a good relationship with the Smash team.
I don't expect anything tomorrow, but if events aren't biweekly now, maybe there will be some kind of tie-in event that comes alongside a Direct announcement?
Alright, there's a new ad in Japan to get everyone excited about the next Smash DLC. It doesn't say who or when it's going to get revealed but the ad is running until 4th October and apparently these have been good indicators to expect a reveal very soon.
@Northwind
I agree. Min Min was fun at first because she was so different but she became very boring very quickly. It's all punches with her, nothing else and every move quickly began to feel the same.
Always psyched for Smash news! Not expectating much more from the game than finishing the second DLC pack. I tend to follow the logic that it might be a champion from Zelda BOTW, in which case I'm on team Mipha.
In general I'm still rooting for Bandana Dee as a 'realistic' expectation. All that fanwork put into explaining how his character would work has excited me! Unrealistically I would lose my mind if Lloyd would get in as a fighter.
Fact is, SSBU can't dissapoint anymore. Every addition is a pure bonus which is easy to ignore (looking at you Byleth) thanks to what it has given (everyone is here! + Ridley, Banjo, K Rool, Simon, Inkling etc. etc.).
Yeah it can, you are being asked to pay upfront for two DLC passes without the fighters being revealed first despite it being already decided who they are going to be. If these were crowd pleasing choices than fair enough but it's characters who've not had their proper games released on Nintendo before and meh choices like Terry.
@jump I understand where you are coming from with the argument raised and it is our consumer-behaviour that allows for such things to occur. It's a business opportunity Nintendo is tapping in to, so I won't blame them for that. The DLC pack remains available after all fighters are revealed, so the choice remains yours to purchase in advance or after.
Whether any of the DLC's are crowd-favorites or personal dissapontments, it still tries to add unique characters to the roster (unlike with SSB4 back in the day - paying for existing characters). As long as the character is unique, it will not dissapoint me at all and I will have a sense of increased value for the money I invested in the DLC. It connects with my previous post as well: this game has already given far more than any of its predecessors and the actual gameplay is of tremendous quality. For me enough reason why it's hard to dissapoint me.
Looking at stuff like the Western reactions to Hero and the overall reaction to Byleth proves that there are plenty of characters people can have an indifference towards
Hell I remember Joker's reveal being divisive as hell on NintendoLife forums and comment threads given how little history Persona has with Nintendo consoles, and I myself could not give two craps about Banjo being in the game since I personally never grew up with that series.
I posted my Top 5 on today's article about Smash DLC:
1. Rex (Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
2. Mipha (Breath of the Wild)
3. Tressa Colzione (Octopath Traveler)
4. Shantae
5. Rayman
Aside from Rex, my list changes all the time though.
@Northwind almost no one heard about it I feel. It’s been happening in Japan for a while but we only just now got it. Whatever, I’m just waiting Phoenix Wright gets added next.
