Hopes: That they don’t completely gut what made the original special. Keep the atmosphere, keep the pacing tight, and for the love of god, no half-baked live service elements shoved in.
Expectations: It'll look amazing, probably play fine, but they'll mess with the story in ways no one asked for.
Fears: Unskippable cutscenes and forced companion missions. Or worse-mandatory always-online bullshit.
As for release? I’d say late 2026 if we’re being optimistic, but wouldn’t be surprised if they shove it to Q1 2027.

17.99 per character DLC
they will still charge for the DLC characters from Switch 1, because itll still be the same game (upgrade)

Roxas, Waluigi, any fps rep and any rpg rep. Not j"rpg" rep, I mean someone from a game where you actually fucking roleplay like Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

They bring back vertical stages.

They don't waste time on cutscenes.

They cut no characters but they make characters like Ryu more fun and characters like Bayonetta unsexualised.
>expectations
You can never predict what Nintendo will do so I have no expectations.
>fears
They cut fun characters like Corrin and Sora.

They add in more characters with unfun shit like the street fighter input moves or whatever you call them.

Q4 2026. They already have their Q4 2025 game.

>>720804862
I think it's coming soon.

>Crash
9/10 likelyhood, at this point it's unusual that he hasn't already made it in. Extremely easy to conceptualize a moveset
>Roxas
5/10 likelyhood, and only because it would be easy to make him a Sora clone
>Waluigi
5/10, only because they're running out of Mario characters to include. But there's a good chance they'd go with the Mario Wonder flower or some shit over Waluigi
>any fps rep
not happening
>someone from a game where you actually fucking roleplay like Fallout or Elder Scrolls
Best shot is Geralt, and that's an extremely remote 1/10

fuck characters and fuck rosterfags
I want the game to have at least an attempt at proper balance for once
no fucking instant death combos
no fucking kills out of jabs if you're an anime sword dude
no region-locked matchmaking that forces you to wait 15 minutes just to get the same guy over and over while you can't even switch characters

if something has to be done it's the online. I can't stand it. ult is so incredibly bad compared to 4 I cannot fathom how they managed it.
at least let me choose the stage so I can see something for once. god the stage backgrounds on nearly everything is drunken diarrhea

Literally 10/10 probability at least one Fromsoft rep makes it, and very likely more than one. My guess is that one of the characters from Nightreign to herald the Switch 2 version of that, and someone from Duskbloods

Fuck you it's happening. He's the coolest character ever and he was pretty much the STAR of the DS era. And we haven't been able to play as him since. He's long overdue.

Fuck you they're not that lazy. Roxas has his own moves. Kill yourself I fucking hate you! Why'd you even reply to me? Like you fucking know what the fuck Nintendo's thinking.

I don't think we're getting a switch 2 edition of ultimate

since ultimate came out so many of nintendo's characters have had redesigns and/or voice actor changes

It would be weird to have dixie kong's new desgin with the other dk characters having the rare design for example

No Ultimate Deluxe, instead a brand new game. Sorry rosterfags, the bloat's gotta go eventually. Banjo and Sora are part of the bloat

what a complete bot-level response. did you read anything I said? did you see the word "balance" and get all excited at the prospect of saying some trite shit to own the comp chuds? everything I described is "playing the game normally"

the online matchmaking in ultimate is terrible
the stage backgrounds blend everything on screen
the series is rife with 0%-death combos and cancerous kill confirms with them being especially out of control in ult

Kys. Try living in reality instead of just parroting the official narrative. I already told you that stuff ain't true.

>>720807101
>I want the game to have at least an attempt at proper balance for once
Isn't Ultimate like a remarkably balanced game at the competitive level? If anything it's a case study that shows that balance alone doesn't make for a good competitive experience

I don't give a shit about roster

>Hopes?
That they don't make zoning a viable, often optimal, playstyle for half the cast
That combos are a strong tool to build up %, but prebaked strings into kill confirms are kept at a minimum
Significantly improved ground speed, return of dash dancing, moderately improved air speed
Some universal mechanic to curtail chaingrabs
Strong hits that require a "sweet spot" to land are buffed or maintained at an appropriate power level such that they are one of the primary kill confirms
Nerfed recovery mechanics all around

How do you represent From at all?
Do you use a box art character? A popular build? A certain NPC?
What's their gimmick?

I'd argue Banjo is the worst offender.
Ridley and KRool were pushing it at the time, but I'm cool with it since they've finally been in stuff again, and I'm just happy to see actual Nintendo characters at all at this point.

nta, also I'm fine with Banjo in Smash. He's spiritually a nintendo IP anyways.

Not in less than 3 years, if they bring Sakurai to make it he was busy doing Air Riders so no there smash hasn't been in production so far

Nightreign and Duskbloods have template characters you pick from, that's the easiest and most likely path if we do end up getting a Fromsoft rep.

They could also just use one of the box art knights from one of the games and give them a mishmash of weapons, abilities and moves from the game(the Snake approach), but personally I think it would look lame for you to pull out a magic greatsword for one move, dual katanas for another, a pyromancy for neutral special, etc. Also most of the iconic boxart characters like the Flute Knight from DeS and the Hunter from Bloodborne aren't on Nintendo platforms, they're pretty much left with the Dark Souls 1 Elite Knight.

NPCs are unlikely, there's not too many that satisfy the conditions of being recognizably from the series, highly popular and having a distinct moveset to design around. Basically Solaire is the only kind of plausible choice if they go that route. They could also go with a boss, and even though that would probably be a better alternative than an NPC, they are for the most part too big and too gruesome to fit into the game tonally

The best alternative would probably be Wolf, since he naturally has a much more fleshed out moveset than other alternatives in a way that would feel natural(unlike a boxart knight), he's already an aerial character and they could easily give him a fun parry mechanic that triggers on perfect shield which wouldn't feel unbalanced unlike Bayo's witch time. But Sekiro probably isn't in line for a Switch 2 port, so I doubt we'll get him.

>>720809096
>Banjo and Kazooie
Completely irrelevant.
Everyone pretended to care, did their reaction videos, and promptly stopped caring about him. No one even fucking played him.
>Shut the fuck up and kill yourself shill.
Exactly, your types don't even play games. It's all manufactured hype, then you buy the console for the ONE game, play it for 50 hours, maybe another hour or two each time a new character drops, then you immediately go back to rosterfagging.

I want more FGC characters with motion inputs and light/medium/heavy attacks

Going back to normal characters after playing Ryu felt like a totally stripped down experience

>>720809515
kirby air riders has to be basically done by now

We don't even know if sakurai is the main director of the next or will have a less prominent role

I still think we get smash 6 Holiday 2027 because its a system seller and I cant see nintendo waiting over half a console generation for a game which will most likely have a big dlc rollout

>>720809701
Ahhh it's such a monkey's paw for me because I do like how they play, but if they kept adding those sort of input to the characters I wouldn't really be able to play with my friends anymore. (which is mainly how I play)
I think at the end of the day I'm content to just play normal fightan games for that sort of thing.

>>720809838
I don't think it needs to be a total overhaul, they can keep some characters with the current control scheme and introduce the FGC mechanics to others. It's even something that could be easily communicated based on the character's visual style, more cartoony = simpler mechanics, more realistic proportions = extra mechanics

>>720809807
I feel like Sakurai is incapable of stepping away from Smash until he physically is unable to do it anymore. That being said, I imagine he has/will probably have guys that he likes shadow him on how to direct this stuff.

It's not going to be Ultimate Deluxe. They've already told you that "everyone is here" is not going to happen again, and that was before they added a bunch more third-parties in the mix for even more licensing and logistic issues. Face it, the only feasible path for Smash to take after Ultimate is a reboot with a massively culled roster, likely Brawl-size. It has to be a reboot with overhauled mechanics and movesets to set itself apart and justify itself in light of not having Ultimate's roster, otherwise consumers will just stick with Ultimate, especially when it's going to be available on the same platform via BC and the shared e-shop.

Your garbage game is a literal meme whose only appeal is having Mario fighting Ganon on Brinstar.
Groups of casual normies meeting together to play has always been the main audience, and therefore roster is all it will ever have.

>>720804862
I don't understand why people think this is soon.

They'll be unable to recreate even 70% of Ultimate. The only way forward is a full reboot, and one that doesn't include Sakurai who is clearly done with Smash and has been since Brawl.

Too risky, too expensive, too many moving parts. The next "Smash Bros" will be unrecognizable, my guess some sort of Mario Party-esque game board and FTP mechanics (though it'll be a full priced $80 game).
