Yeah if we get Jill, this is my favorite design.
Hopefully it would be a little less realistic and more simple and stylized version of this:
I guess the follow-up question would be: what about the Final Smash? Would they keep the male heroes or make it unique?
This has probably been discussed in the zillion pages since the Direct, but where do we stand with leaks now?
Obviously Vergeben and friends don't know any, but are any of the many, many 4chan ones still standing after this?

I don't think there was any tangible thing that stopped western reps from being included. It was directed more towards people who anticipated multiple western reps wily-nilly during this dlc cycle, seeing that there were additional hurdles to them being included (language barriers, preference for Japanese IPs). Heck, you can even see it in Sakurai's recent twitter post where he wasn't sure if he could communicate his direction to Kirkhope.
Yea, I think people miss the point where they wonder why it's always so japan-centric. Similar to the sword user complaints.
None as of now. Back to speculating again!
There are no credible 4chan leaks remaining, besides one that threw out a "Square rep" along with Joker, Banjo, Edelgard, and Sylux, the latter two I would bet a shoe on not being on the Fighters Pass.
Dragon Quest is in, Banjo is in, we can finally talk freely... by which I mean we're gonna be talking mostly about Resident Evil.
Yeah, it's hard to say, I don't think it would look TOO weird since they're still heroes, but I fear they might not find it worth it. I'm just thinking of the whole Jane thing and something they could throw in when they announce more stuff on FP2.
Funny related note. Monster Battle Road Victory, you know the Wii game with the cool intro and special attacks? They actually added DLC and added a special female hero version of the DQIV party attack.
It was the same as this but Sofia swapped in
Oh right, does anyone know when the next famitsu issue will be out? We should be getting some nice tidbits if they interviewed sakurai about the dlc picks (which i'm sure will come up sooner or later).
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN!

Conveniently, it can stay the same and wouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't expect anything more than that.
Or if they're willing to put in that extra effort for an echo, it's possible do something with a selection of non-Hero party members or a monster.
Since we were talking about "wishlists tiers", this is who I want still. This is just for the future of Smash in general since there's several characters who are out of the running for Ultimate.
S+: Master Chief
S: Sora, 2B, Frisk/Sans, Jill/Leon, DoomGuy, Crash, Dante, Waluigi
A: Phoenix Wright, Tracer, Shovel Knight, Minecraft Steve, Ratchet & Clank, Impa, Skull Kid, Dixie Kong, Spring Man/Ribbon Girl
B: Sub-Zero, Lara Croft, Joanna Dark, Spyro, Captain Toad
Banjo was in S+ Tier, I'm so happy to see him here. :')

Man I'm so excited about this DLC but knowing these characters are still months away from being playable is agonizing. I'm guessing each character will get their own individual showcase posted to Twitter like Joker did, right before they release. Maybe 4.0 will have Home Run Contest, Square-Enix costumes, and other goodies.
Hero: August release
Banjo-Kazooie: October release
Fighter 4: September Direct reveal, December release
Fighter 5: VGA December reveal, February release

Out of curiosity, is DQ4 among the more popular games in the series? I'm only familiar with DQ8 in terms of playing it, DQ11 in terms of recent marketing, and DQ3 in terms of Smash speculation, but I know nothing of DQ4, so it was kinda weird to me they would choose DQ4's hero over, say, DQ1's. However, I don't know the series, so pardon my ignorance. I've noticed that DQ3 and DQ4 are the only mainline games with a female hero who's not customizable. Could that have something to do with it? I see some folks in here speculating over The Heroine as an echo fighter, though I'm not sure how they would balance the alts.
Whoever made this was either really optimistic in how many fighters Ultimate was gonna get or really pessimistic in how long into the series it would take to get Hayabusa.So now i will have to spend the next few months hoping that Ryu Hayabusa makes it in as DLC:
Or they made a series of these images for fun and gave each one a number.
Irrelevant:
Do you know who would make for good SSBU DLC? Cayde-6 from the Destiny games, of course! (Picture shows Cayde-6 with number 36399)
I'm also curious about this, if he's more popular than DQ1 hero or not. May be seen as another potential point towards Heroine, if it was to avoid having Solo in the FS.
The first song is the Main Theme of Dragon Quest
The second is the overworld of III, aka "Adventure"
Both songs were ripped from the orchestrated version of the soundtrack of XI
Banjo was definitely a top tier get, unbelievable. Banjo and K. Rool added in the same game! I feel very confident now though that one of the remaining fighters will be Crash. He fits too well.
Heck, they forgot about Space Invaders*, the biggest name currently not in Smash.
*Though I'd seen them more as assist trophy material.
If they managed to do an "all female DQ party member" type team up attack that would be great. Jessica, Jade, Bianca, Alena... uhh... others...
Absolute pipe dream at this point but man that would be the best surprise.
You'll get a Geno costume and a Chocobo costume
I wish I were joking, but the fact the we have, yet again, no remixes is worrisome. I wonder if the Final Smash is the way Sakurai envisioned it just to have an excuse to include extra spirits.
Grant got Mayahem Temple and Gobi's Valley confused, which is why it appears in the Spiral Mountain remix, alongside Kazooie levels
lol he thought he was remixing Gobi's Valley. It's supposed to be a medley of Kazooie themes, but Mayahem Temple snuck in there.
Just a fun little footnote of history, I guess.

Sounds like Banjo wouldn't have been in Melee even if the buyout hadn't happened. (Probably would have been in Brawl, though.)
Considering the gap between Ultimate and the next Smash is very likely going to be the largest gap in franchise history, I think there's a good chance they'll continue DLC for Ultimate for a good while. Fighting games always have much longer shelf lives than most other franchises when it comes to DLC and this is the first Smash with DLC on a console that isn't dying.
I wouldn't count anyone on your wishlist out just yet unless they're an assist trophy.
So Doomguy and Steve are the next DLC? Not sure but if I remember correctly they were in the same leak, with Banjo and DQ?
Watching Papa Geno's reaction to Banjo, he almost seemed relieved that all his rumor reporting hadn't been for nothing
I wonder what other secrets Mr VR Fire Plant knows

Rare mentioned awhile back that more trophies of their characters were planned for Melee.
They did such an amazing job with the Jinjonator.
Makes me want a BK remake that much more. ;-;
The Jinjos look soooooooo good! These look like screenshots of a re-make. I love it. <3
I wonder if we'll get Dragon Quest spirits using Toriyama art, or if we'll be stuck with renders from a spinoff
I'm thinking probably renders.
I'm thinking probably renders.
I think XI Party Members, some monsters (from XI) and fighting spirits for the 4 heroes.
I think all content, except the 3 hero alts, will be from XI. XI has classic remixes and classic enemies, though, so it won't be as noticeable as Cloud only having FFVII stuff.
Assuming The Hero is coming sometime in July or early August, it would make sense for Sakurai to do a mini-Smash direct sometime in the next month detailing them and any new features coming, right?
For instance, maybe I'm just dumb, but can we tell from the trailer whether Slime will be an assist trophy or just part of The Hero's taunt?

They're most likely just put out a New Content Approaching video out of the blue just as they did with Joker a few days before release.
Pretty sure it's just a taunt. Assist trophies are a base roster kind of deal.
Seems like only extremely big characters (to an extent) can get in.
Joker is the least big but still comes from the most sucessful episode of a growing franchise.
I really would have prefered a SMT5 characters like as a 5th choice next year with SMT5 shown and all...
But DQ hero is really such a cool announce. They look awesome. So happy to see that instead of crap Goku.

Slime is definitely a taunt. Look at Slime during its appearance alongside the Hero of IV.
Slime is a taunt, like Morgana. We see Hero doing a little dance around a Slime on Palutena's Temple. The part where Slime is alone is just dev tools stuff, like the part of Joker's trailer when Morgana was alone
I think we'll get a shadow drop direct in July with a release a few days later, like Joker got.
Anyone else thinking we may get a single player expansion with the Hero? The reveal trailer is heavy on referencing it.It even starts with the dark boss.
