Rumor: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Final 2 DLC characters potentially leaked? *possible spoilers*

Snake opened the door to third party reps. There wasn't even a chance for anyone to "lmao" the idea of Snake in Smash.
Not sure why some people think Doom Guy/Slayer is unlikely. Doom is one of the most influential series of all time, debatable the most influential American made game. Doom has a history with Nintendo that goes all the way back to SNES, the N64 has an exclusive Doom game that is actually more relevant to the current Doom plot than Doom 3 is, and now with Doom 3 having been released on Switch the entire series is on Nintendo platforms. Nintendo picked the DLC characters and with Doom 2016 having released on Switch and Eternal coming to Switch it makes sense to pick him from that perspective as well. As for content wise there's nothing about him that would stop him from being in Smash. Bayonetta introduced bullets to Smash and Joker has a realistic gun, Snake has plenty of realistic weaponry and Corrin even has a chainsaw.
As opposed to all the other avatars already in the game
have you ever played a Bayonetta game
Doomguy is basically Master Chief's dad. If you squint you won't be able to tell the difference.
If he were making it into the game, my hope is for it to be a bit of a hybrid design between modern and classic. Sakurai's team usually leans classic but also seems to be good at creating unique amalgamation versions of characters at times.
If it's going full modern, I wouldn't be mad. I really like the modern designs. But I'd hope for a classic inspired alt along with it.
Or Metal Gear Solid.
Violent, murderous, unlikely characters have already happened. And they still have their signatures. You just don't see blood or dismemberment afterward.
Doomguy could still be blasting players with shotguns, punching and chainsawing without there necessarily being blood and guts accompanying it.
...but it would inspire a lot of bloody fanart.

Nah, I don't buy MH Hunter thing. First, MH is already represented in Smash, in best way possible after as a fighter. Second, third Capcom rep? Before Namco's second and KoTec (closest third party to Nintendo) first reps? Whatever Capcom did to deserve such honor? Scamming fans with overpriced RE ports, only one DMC game out of the collection?
Doom Slayer is a great candidate but I think the last one is still Hayabusa.

How does it make more sense? Because Monster Hunter was on Nintendo consoles? Doom has more presence on Switch than Monster Hunter when Eternal comes out and Capcom clearly doesn't give a damn anymore.
I mean a boring choice ... like a Resident Evil character would be more interesting. Or Dante
MH has so many possible options for a moveset that it almost become too "do whatever you want sakurai"
Don't really care for doomguy but Monster Hunter could be neat just from all the weapon and costume options available in that series.
Oh yeah I can totally imagine his Final Smash, tearing Nintendo characters limbs off and beating them with it.
I like Doom, but I find it hard to understand how generic shooter guy would be put into this game.
To the people that say Bethesda and Nintendo are on good terms, I think Ubisoft is on even better terms so I could see a believable and realistic character from them before a Bethesda rep. Like I don't even desire Rayman in Smash, but if they are going to go with one more western character in this game it's likely going to be him.
True I guess. I can see both parties being dumb as hell again.
That would at least make 1 character I care about in this DLC. Though I can't ask that much anymore, I got Ridley and K Rool.
So DOOM guy with his BFG as his final smash would be our consolation prize for not getting master chief. I'm good with that.
I mean they definitely seemed to have inside info on the DQ hero at the very least, to be that specific and be 100% right.
To people really expect doomguy to have a chainsaw if true? Smash bros is kid friendly and it will likely be removed/censored lol
Woild probably be ridley. In smash, he looks straight out of the doom reboots.
Doomguy is cool, but I'd much rather have Phoenix Wright in over Monster Hunter.
I mean, Monster Hunter is fine, but it's kind of a safe pick.

It doesn't and didn't need to since December 9th was after he got revealed at the VGAs
Yeah, no. So Doom and Doom Eternal getting Switch ports means that Doom Guy makes more sense than Monster Hunter, which has a much richer history with Nintendo platforms, especially recently, and is one of the most popular IP in Japan. How is Monster Hunter any more laughable than Joker, or even Cloud?
Monster Hunter objectively makes more sense than Doom Guy from a business and brand perspective. Feelings about Capcom's treatment of Switch are irrelevant.
Why would a chainsaw be censored in a game with hammers, swords, axes, and drills? It's just a weapon like any weapon many other characters use.
lol if a chainsaw user gets into Smash before a spear user, though.
There won't be limb dismemberment, but they can do guns and chainsaws just fine.
I know but OP said that which would make me believe in this leak more but without Joker it's just a common wishlist, I wanted DQ Hero and Banjo too and I want MH too ...
