Re: GOKU FOR SMASH!! - Smash Bros Hype and Speculation Thread
If a Microsoft character gets in there I pray it's Banjo-Kazooie. They have a much more meaningful history with Nintendo than the Minecraft dude does and people have been wanting them in Smash Bros. ever since the original game. That and the Xbox CEO has even said he'd love to work out something to get Banjo in Smash. A Minecraft STAGE maybe or a Creeper assist trophy would be fine, but I'd be bummed if we're able to get a the rare opportunity to get a Microsoft character and it ends up being the Minecraft dude.
Also, Ms. Pac-Man could be a Pac-Man echo fighter.

Smash Bros. Direct announced for 8/8 (2PM UTC).
With using that date, it seems pretty likely that Octolings are going to be announced as an Echo Fighter?

Or perhaps they're bringing back a ton of stuff from the first game? I mean, what is 8 * 8?

So, one of the song names changed on the official Smash Bros. YouTube page and it seems to have leaked a new fighter. It was ruined for me but if you want to avoid spoilers I'll tag it but it sounds like tomorrow we'll be seeing...
Simon Belmont from Castlevania. The video for the Galaga remix got renamed as 'Bloody Tears".

This is feeling like the ultimate fan request game at this point. Not that that's a bad thing!

God damn there's just so much crammed into this game and there's still more they haven't revealed yet.

Okay, so, maybe this is just wishful thinking but... Inkling, Chrom, and K. Rool were all Mii Fighter costumes in Smash 4. The three of them are now playable fighters in the game. Geno also had a Mii Fighter costume in Smash 4.
Do you think maybe...???

Alright gonna throw out some echo fighter predictions because they could honestly make a crazy amount of them:
Shadow as an echo of Sonic
Ms. Pac-Man as an echo of Pac-Man
Isabelle as an echo of Villager (she has been strangely absent from any assist trophy showcases)
Ken or Akuma as an echo of Ryu
Proto Man as an echo of Mega Man (just swap the two out in the Final Smash)
Jeanne as an echo of Bayonetta
Octoling as an echo of Inkling
Funky Kong as an echo of Donkey Kong
Shadow as an echo of Sonic
Ms. Pac-Man as an echo of Pac-Man
Isabelle as an echo of Villager (she has been strangely absent from any assist trophy showcases)
Ken or Akuma as an echo of Ryu
Proto Man as an echo of Mega Man (just swap the two out in the Final Smash)
Jeanne as an echo of Bayonetta
Octoling as an echo of Inkling
Funky Kong as an echo of Donkey Kong

Make a jojo that's an echo of Bayonetta and just screw the theme entirely. If you're reskinning things you may as well go hog wild.

Best Buy Canada has leaked that you'll be able to unlock Ridley, Inkling, and probably Wolf quickly by scanning their respective amiibo - which makes sense, it'd be weird having your amiibo be able to fight as them when you still can't select the character. So I can unlock most of the roster very quickly.

Re: GOKU FOR SMASH!! - Smash Bros Hype and Speculation Thread
Nintendo is bringing Smash Ultimate demos to certain Best Buy stores every weekend this month and into the first week of October. If you live in a big American city and are ready to put up with what'll surely be a huge-ass line, you could give it a try.
I bet this news was supposed to go out in the cancelled Nintendo Direct.

I'm pretty sure they announced this shortly before the Direct itself was announced.

Re: GOKU FOR SMASH!! - Smash Bros Hype and Speculation Thread
Here's the lowdown:
Basically,
- Ken and Incenroar are the final additions to the roster.
- Spirits replace Trophies, where you collect Spirits of all sorts of characters from various games to equip to the fighters as buffs in Spirits mode. you collect them, level them up, and what not
- Spirits mode is sort of like Event Battle from Melee, where you have these unique gimmick fights where you're going up against fighters that act and have special conditions based on the spirit they have
- Online no longer has For Play and For Glory, instead matchmaking is based on what your preferred rules are. Spectating and making friend lobbies is still a thing.
- They're still trying to push the phone app, and there's going to be a unique Smash World app, apparently?
- 59 different assist trophies in the game. These include: the Wily Capsule from Megaman 7, Yuri Kokukata from Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, Vince from Art Academy, the Thwomp from the Mario series, and Guile from Street Fighter
- Assist Trophies that can be KO'd can also be KO'd by their summoner, to prevent opponents from scoring a point off of them.
- 100 Man Smash is back as Century Smash, All-Star is back as All-Star Smash and is available from the start of the game. Cruel Smash is also back.
- You can create character specific handicaps in local play. If they're active, a symbol will appear showing the handicap.
- More Mii Fighter costumes and customization.
- DLC is planned, where there will be 5 new packs of content, consisting of 1 new character, 1 new stage, and a selection of new music tracks, expected to be sold at $5.99 USD per pack, or about $25 for the Fighters Pass, which would give you all 5 packs, with a bonus Xenoblade Chronicles 2 mii fighter costume, and I think also some XC2 music? No release date has been announced yet for any of these DLC packs.
- Much like Mewtwo with Smash 4, there will be a DLC character released early next year that will be free for early adopters of Smash Ultimate: Piranha Plant from the Mario series
- Tied in with the Spirits mode will be a brand new Adventure Mode called World of Light.
Basically,

What is that song at the end? Lyrics are a tricky thing, Odyssey song that is not. Cringe central from me.
I want to know who created the Grinch leak because that was a bang-up job

The song at the end was anime as hell and I loved it. You can take your cynicism about the goofy as fuck Smash Bros anime song elsewhere
I'm really excited for this game.

Re: GOKU FOR SMASH!! - Smash Bros Hype and Speculation Thread
Since you asked, here's my take at transcribing it:
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light
On that day, when the sky fell away
Our world came to an end
In our eyes, did a fading sun rise
In the dark, glimmering shadows
Silence grows in the spaces between
Stretching out beyond time
Rising up, as a chorus of souls
Finds a voice, flickering through the void
These little sparks cling onto life
Everyone caught in the struggle
And then the storms of change, they fan the flames
Scattering ashes to the wind
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight
No escape, no greater fate to be made
In the end the chains of time will not break
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light
As fate spins a thread without end
New life draws its first breath
Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past
Where destiny holds fast
Here where we stand, hand clenched in hand
Everyone caught in the struggle
This is the day we finally find our way, stepping into our tomorrow
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight

[_] lengthy excessive yelling
[/] 50% of the roster has extra gimmicky metered mechanics individually tied to them
It's certainly getting there.

Re: GOKU FOR SMASH!! - Smash Bros Hype and Speculation Thread
Do the Japanese lyrics use the word "special" at all? As I was transcribing the English lyrics, the use of "the ultimate fight" seemed a bit too referential to the game's English title to be just a coincidence.The Doctor wrote: βThu Nov 01, 2018 11:17 pmI think the person singing that song might be the same one singing the Japanese version.

If you go to the official Smash Bros. Ultimate music page and click on this part here:
it'll provide you with official lyrics for both the English and Japanese versions of Lifelight. I ran the Japanese lyrics through Google translate, and I'm not seeing the word "special" in there anywhere, so I imagine the "ultimate fight" thing for the English lyrics was done deliberately.
