Rumour: Change To Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Medley Points To New Fighter

Gotta believe it.

Simon! We also want X as a playable character

Oh boy someone’s getting fired

That is all I've ever wanted from Smash.

Cool!

I haven't dared to believe any leaks, but this is so much more believable than anything else. I really hope it's true.

If they have Simon Belmont, Megaman and Kid Icarus as playable characters do you think it too much to ask if they add Captain N as a playable character? With a Videoland stage?

Well well well

I can't wait!!!

@RadioHedgeFund It feels like too much of a stretch :/

This is definitely happening. Belmont whips his way into the fight!

Won’t be surprising to see Simon or any other character from Castlevania to be in Smash actually. It will probably be in announced in the Direct.

I remember someone"leaking" this info several weeks before the E3, and I legit thought Simon Belmont would be absurd in Smash but that same person predicted Ridley and the Ice Climbers...
I don't know what to expect.

Wait, there’s a direct in a few hours?

What if waluigi will be the first playable assist trophy?

I mean that's cool and all, but if that's the draw for this whole Direct, then this is exactly the level of disappointing we've all come to know and love from Nintendo

So its probably true

Well [removed], guess that means Isabelle is essentially confirmed as well, and a gen 7 Pokemon of some sort (though sadly not Decidueye apparently).

@Kriven thanks, my friend just confirmed it too. I must’ve missed the article(s) on here about it

I wonder how he will look like,the style of the series varies greatly.I never played the main Castlevania games,only a spin-off where he looked like this:

@luke88 What planet have you been living on, my friend?

People jump to conclusions too much.

As far as I know, Galaga wasn' ever belonging to Konami. I'd say people are interpreting way more into it, than there is. (Like always)

The game hasn't been shown in its entirety. Not even close. We still know next to nothing about what game modes will be available. There's still a lot they could show us.

I think the best part if this is true is the music we would get from the series. symphony of the night, castlevania 3, and symphony of the night music would be amazing

@Not_Soos I know, I know. I’m suitably ashamed, but also excited to watch. Though I felt the E3 Smash segment/breakdown of every minute detail seemed to cover almost everything. I wonder how long this one will be.

@Joeynator3000 Well... it is two songs that point to a specific character...

@IKAY this isn’t about Galaga. But you are right it’s not Konami it’s Namco and is actually already in Smash in the form of one of PAC-MAN’s moves and an item.

The article is about the fact that some music for Smash (which happened to be for Galaga) was accidentally named after two Castlevania tracks before being corrected. Two tracks for a specific character that has long been requested. The whole Galaga part is irrelevant really.

Well, if it's true, I'm sure all the retirement homes will be buzzing with excitement at least...

Potentially the biggest roster definitely not. Dragon Ball Z Budôkai Tenkaichi has 160+ characters, several Naruto games have those numbers too and anyway the biggest roster in a fighting video game is the one of Tobal 2 (PlayStation) with 200.

What a horrible night to have a leak. :3 Man, Smash would become even more STACKED with 8 & 16-bit platforming heroes! So many possibilities for retro Event Matches!!! Plus, give Square-Enix & Bandai-Namco a second rep, and think of the company tag team matches!!! Nintendo (Mario & Luigi/Link) vs. Capcom (Mega Man & Ryu) vs. Konami (Simon & Snake) alone is a dream come true!

Pleeeeeease let it happen.

I hope we get Simon Belmont, Shovel Knight and Shantae for this game. We could definitely use more villains as well.

Given Castlevania's involvement with Nintendo, a Belmont in Smash Bros is long overdue.

@Moroboshi876 But how many of these characters share the same models and moves. Smash has a lot of different characters even when you count out the clones.

Remember that Golden Sun got music in Brawl, but only an assist trophy for Isaac, not a full fighter character.

Simon may well be a fighter, but let's hold our horses, shall we? It's only a few hours away now.

What i really would like to get into Smash is Space Invaders.

@bitleman I was just saying the roster will be most definitely inferior in number. But anyway, I like Smash Bros. series because the inputs are the same for all characters, which simplifies the gameplay.

Simon Belmont would be a good announcement. I'm thinking this will mostly be a game mode discussion, though.

oh man oh man oh man oh man. I was wishing for this back before Wii U's Smash entry came out! His skill set seems to be the perfect addition to the game.

Samus' grapple beam versus Simon's whip: Meeting of the Metroidvanias!

@shoeses Simon should make for a pretty cool and unique fighter with his whip and all, even though I was never personally rooting for him to become a fighter. Ultimately though, i'm totally cool if Simon ends up being a new one.

@Randomname19 Ah, good ol' Whip Yagami.
