If we can get Min Min as well I would be so happy!

It's been confirmed fake, I believe.

if not
still want those 3

but chances are, it will be a gen 8 pokemon starter like what greninja did for gen 6

i doubt gen 8 will come before smash tbh

You keep repeating that, even though we keep telling you that it hasn't been confirmed. They said 2018 or beyond, not that it's definitely coming out in 2018.

just like how fire emblem and metroid prime 4 are TOTALLY COMING OUT IN 2018 YOU GUYS but they clearly arent at this point

decidueye 4 smash plz I want to fire arrows at people while being a birb

My list:

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOM NOOK IN SMASH
Decidueye
Pokey/Porky, just more earthbound characters plz. Maybe Claus or Ninten for an assist trophy
Professor Layton
King Boo
Sora to replace Cloud
Phoenix Wright
Jack Frost (the mascot in SMT. I know the franchise doesn't really have a connection with Nintendo but Jack Frost seems like a character that would fit in)
Bring back Snake
Bring back Ice Climbers
Rayman
Waluigi
King K Rool
Shovel Knight (I support indie companies getting into Smash since I don't think they should be left out just because they're indie. Just keep Undertale out and I'm happy)
I'd love Tails to be more involved somehow, maybe as an assistant trophy.
Protoman assistant trophy
And speaking about the last two, if any parties outside of Nintendo deserve a second spot rather than the one for the iconic character, I think its Sonic and Megaman since I do see people mistake them as nintendo characters. Just don't make it Shadow and I'm fine. >.>

Gen 8 is confirmed for 2018

matt, is that you???

Most of the realistic suggestions I would want in the game are already in Smash. And most of the others I would want are third parties like Rayman, Professor Layton, and Sora, who I am not sure are that likely.

On the Nintendo side, there are barely any characters that would make me excited. I don't care about Pokemon, I haven't played Splatoon and Inklings are confirmed anyway, and I don't care much for ARMS. I'd love a character from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia...but if we get one, it's gonna be Celica, and she's literally my second least favourite FE character. Similarly, I'd love a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 rep, but if we get one, it's most likely gonna be Rex using Pyra and Mythra, and his Final Smash would just be Coffee With Milk. I don't dislike Rex as a character, but he's my least favourite of the main cast in XC2, and his moveset in XC2 with Pyra and Mythra is very similar to Shulk with the Monado. Plus, we really do have a lot of sword users in Smash.

If they REALLY want to set him apart, they can give him his full set of canon Blades and incorporate them into his moveset. The only problem is that the other two Blades are HUGE spoilers for the game. But they would certainly make him much more unique than just using Pyra/Mythra all of the time. And Smash is no stranger to spoiling other games anyway, Xenoblade Chronicles included.

Nia from XC2 is my most wanted. She was by far the most fleshed out character and was equally just really charming and entertaining, and has plenty of moveset potential. Tora would be another great choice, since he would represent the Nopon, and Poppi is very unique as a Blade even within XC2. Morag would be great just for the pure coolness factor and the fact she has an amazing design, and we don't have full-on whip user in Smash. Zeke would be great for how eccentric and goofy he is. Also, Nia means we get a character with an amazing Welsh accent, while Morag means we get a character with an amazing Scottish accent.

I'd also love Alm from FE Echoes: SoV, but admittedly, between him and Celica, Celica has more unique moveset potential. Alm was just a really cool character, though at the very least, he could use bows as well as his Falchion, not to mention his Arts like Double Lion and Scendscale.

Other than that, my primary concern for the new Smash is the game modes. This was by far the most lacking aspect of Smash Wii U. At bare minimum, I want a half decent Classic Mode similar to the 3DS game's one, I want an Adventure Mode like Subspace Emissary, and I want a more fleshed out Smash Run. Also, good online of course. If we can get those, I'll probably get the game day one. If not, even getting Nia or Sora probably wouldn't convince me.

Also, I'd like some veterans like Ganondorf and Dark Pit to be reworked. They could be so much more than clones.

realistically, i'd love to see-

a Gen 7 Pokemon rep
Spring Man
Ice Climbers
Celica

I don’t have many realistic expectations, but unrealistic?
-Plague Knight
-Zoroark
-Silvally (I want to be right about this even if it most likely won’t happen)
-The mage in Octopath (we don’t have enough Mages)
-Any Skylander. Superchargers brought DK and Bowser so it might be more realistic, but they’re gonna put Spyro in before even considering Skylanders (provided the franchise isn’t dead)
-A “Funky New Mode” but Funky can’t take damage
-MYSTERY DUNGEON MUSIC PLEASE I’M BEGGING YOU
-Fawful

I can dream.

as for stage/music wise-

BOTW music
ARMS music (maybe spring stadium/NAME REDACTED as a stage)
ULTRA MEGALOPOLIS STAGE PLEASE
obviously a splatoon stage/music
some gen 7 pokemon music, specifically Gladion's theme, Ether The Ultra Beasts, Ultra Necrozma's Theme, and the Champion Theme

(FE just has the direct reveal, but pokemon gen 8 in 2018 has solid evidence, like the official magazine above)


cuz if they are STILL SAYING 2018, odds are pointing at a 2018 release
I would say about a 90 percent chance its 2018

Let's just stop ok? When it's announced it's announced


Your arguing about this over nothing!

matt incarnate plz stop

This may sound like a odd request, but I'd like the dev team to actually give more love to the more recent Kirby games. Yeah, we got Ultra Sword as Kirby's final Smash in 4, but it feels like that might've been forced onto Sakurai. We need stages and music remixes from Return, Triple Deluxe, Robobot, and/or Star Allies.

Could you imagine the final battle location from star allies as a stage? Oooohhhh that would be amazing.

Alternatively, President Haltmann's office.

Lol since im gonna get smash again (the last one i played was brawl) does this mean i have to finally start amibo collecting? :')

I never really understood their purpose except that they save the character's data in smash or something

They give you an AI opponent that quickly becomes unfairly OP (even if you don't feed them stat boosts, they still get stat boosts for some reason) and nearly unbeatable. And collecting them is a pain in the ass because of scalpers. So only bother with them if you're a masochist.

Or if you just really like the characters. Some like the Kirby and FE zones offer other bonuses in other games.

Well, sure, but DarkCynder seemed to be talking about collecting them specifically for Smash Bros.

Edit: Although I see now that she said she wasn't sure of their use in other games, so I probably should have mentioned it.

Ah nah they weren't going to be for smash bros only. I was wondering what their other uses are outside of Smash and if they were really worth it. :\

I would only collect very few though, the ones that I would use most.

Several have uses outside smash

Like Alm in FE Echoes has no smash use for his amiibo.
But Robin can be used in Smash and FE Echoes

Personally, I think so, especially for games like Fire Emblem Fates, Breath of the Wild, and Odyssey.

How they're used depends on the game.

Here are some examples of the best amiibo games IMO:

Fire Emblem: Fates - Lets you challenge Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina and when you beat them, you unlock them as fully playable units (the only thing they can't do is support with other units, but they offer solid pair-up bonuses by default). All four are actually very powerful as units if built right. Marth is easy to turn into a high-crit rate dodge tank, and Ike can have some beefy defense and strength, for example.

Codename S.T.E.A.M - Scan Marth, Ike, Robin, and Lucina to unlock them as playable units.

Shovel Knight - Grants you access to the "Custom Knight" mode which allows you to play through the game in a more RPG-esque way. Accumlating treasure gives you experience to level up, giving you new abilities and costume changes, some you can't get in the main game without cheats. Also unlocks challenge missions for some of these abilities. You can also get a fairy companion of the character you scan for that functionality.

Breath of the Wild - Most of the functionality for this game is lame, just has you unlock armour and stuff you normally can't get or weapons that break just like any other weapon (and they're random drops so it's not guaranteed). But Wolf Link's amiibo in particular has cool functionality. Scan him and you can summon him as a companion that will help you fight. Also, if you have Twilight Princess HD, you can scan him there to play a special dungeon. Beating that dungeon allows you to record the amount of hearts you had left onto the amiibo, and you can then scan him back into Breath of the Wild to summon him with that same amount of hearts. This is the only example of an amiibo that has cross-game functions (i.e. where the amiibo data in one game is used to power what an amiibo does in a future game).

Also, it's worth noting that even though amiibo are generally used in multiple games, if you have two games that have read/write functionality for your amiibo, you can only save data for one game at a time. So for example, you can save data for Smash Bros on a Mario amiibo. That same amiibo will work for Mario Party 10, but since MP10 writes data to the Mario amiibo, you have to delete the Smash Bros data to save the MP10 data. This is one of the reasons why the same characters have multiple amiibo.

if we get spring man in this game and a line of smash 5 amiibo then you know DAMN well what i'm doing

I don't like him that much either (he comes off as pretentious to me), but that's kind of low tbh. It's Pokemon. It's balls with little monsters in them. People don't need to be dicks about it.

got to agree here why are we fighting over whether pokemon is being released in 2018 or not like who cares

And thanks for the amiibo information. I've decided to start collecting a few. c:

I definitely know I want to get wolf link mainly because that one just looks dope.

So recently a pretty credible leaker leaked some stuff about Smash Switch. Obviously this should be taken with a grain of salt but this guy was right when he leaked the Ninja Turtles for Injustice 2 and Soulcaliber 6's existence.

im just gonna say that i doubt simon belmont is actually going to be in the game, because of konami.

for those who dont know, konami is just a buncha ****in assholes
