The box theory is interesting and has a solid reasoning as basis but I don't believe simply because of the marketing strategy of the game. They simply wouldn't have revealed five characters at once in August if all they have left to reveal past mid-september is one newcomer and an echo.
I don't think we're getting many more characters but I'd believe at least two newcomers + two echos.
Note that all of that is moot if Ken is not an echo in the end (like Isabelle), then I'd fully believe that to be the final roster.
They're definitely going to reveal DLC before the game comes out. It makes sense to give consumers the idea that DLC is something the game will have and it will generate more hype even if the character(s) doesn't come out for a while
the DLC characters aren't in the game yet thoughAlso Sakurai already said that all the characters in the game will be revealed before the release.
yesWe don't even know if there will be DLC. Nintendo isn't obliged to make DLC.
They said that there aren't many new characters left beforehand.
Also, why are you guys so hungry for DLC? For all we know Sakurai might not feel like making any DLC.
the game will not have DLC.It's called ultimate for a reason :)
Also Sakurai already said that all the characters in the game will be revealed before the release.
What if they want to reveal every character before November.
I don't have any real basis for that, just a hunch, and I could believe a newcomer and echo reveal on October to round it off if that's the case. Maybe a DLC tease pre-launch like Mewtwo was in November.
"Whether or not he decides to do DLC again, or whether or not he decides this is the ultimate edition and there's nothing more I can fit in there - we'll have to see as we get closer to launch."
i believe in the box theory and we will probably get DLC, maybe an announcement in november? newcomer roster is pretty small (6 unique, 5 echoes) if true so i can see them announcing dlc characters around then
they should probably remove all the newcomers too just to be safe
they've already added a ton of new stuff to it so I don't see how DLC is any differentThis new smash bros is an anthology of the game.It doesn't make sense to have DLC in it.
Reported.because i don't want DLC.Simple :)
I didn't buy the DLC for Smash Wii U.

What? Why would people want smash DLC? It's already happened once, the demand is there. If Sakurai wants to make the ULTIMATE smash game, he shouldn't skip DLCThey said that there aren't many new characters left beforehand.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo................... making plans for DLC at this point in time then, right?theyre probably at point of cutting characters that didnt make it to the roster due to time restraints and they'll end up being announced for DLC
similar to the theory of mewtwo's development in smash 4
just my guess though
oh i am ok with free DLC.
but no,i don't want to pay for a Waluigi DLC.
Sorry :p
Now I can't imagine Isabelle even being one, it'd be weird seeing her yielding an axe or boxing gloves

Well you don't have to worry about paying for him, considering he's already an assist trophy
you're talking to the wrong person, i wasnt the one who thinks its not possible at all, the other person did though. my stance is more or less "yeah i guess thats not farfetched to think they didnt plan it yet, but they are probably doing that now anywho regardless"Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo................... making plans for DLC at this point in time then, right?
;]
I could see this being the extent of the current DLC plans atm. Probably (as I stated before), content that prob couldn't make the cut to the base game first. They're probably in that development phase right now (or close to it) given we're 3 months away from release.
EDIT: If DLC planning happens right now, I'd imagine it's probably some content that was planned for the base game but was cut due to time restraints. Mewtwo sort of gave me that vibe in Smash 4.
While I trust anyone that has been to a rabbit cafe, I'm not sure if Nintendo would release a season pass for Smash DLC. Nintendo usually gives some information about what their season passes will include, but they like to keep Smash a secret. For example, even if it's as vague as saying the season pass will get you three DLC packs, that would likely mean there are at least three DLC characters planned and Nintendo would rather people have no idea how much DLC to expect from Smash.There's absolutely going to be DLC. Probably a season pass too. Smash 4 DLC sold great, there's simply no way Nintendo will leave money on the table with SSBU.
If we're lucky, some of it might be free! Think of how Mario Tennis Aces is releasing free characters every month. We might get some free echoes like that! As for new stages and unique characters, I'm sure those will be paid.
I want this to happen just because it'll be really funny to have a 200-character roster with Waluigi still an assist trophyBring the roster to 200 with DLC. It'll be the Tenkaichi 3 of Smash. The mugen of our dreams. The knuckles featuring Dante from the new Funky mode series ! Do it Sakurai.

Also, Nintendo knows they can make more money selling all the characters separately because it's Smash.
And 'things' like Peachette as a fighter.I want this to happen just because it'll be really funny to have a 200-character roster with Waluigi still an assist trophy
My man, you are so close to the "acceptance" stage but you're still stuck somewhere between "denial" and "bargaining" by trying to change what it means to be a semi-clone.I am not salty about Isabelle anymore. In fact Isabelle isn't even what I was initially upset about. It was the idea of semi clones.
Isabelle barely qualifies as a derivative. In fact, she doesn't even seem like a Luigi or Wolf style clone. She's pretty much completely unique. Think Ike and Marth.
New semi clones are still not a thing, and my biggest fear (echo overload) is not a thing because Ken's the last one. So Richter is likely the only cosmetic echo.
Is this a cry for help?If I wanted to hear you threaten to kill me, I would've asked you to. But no you're just going in my DMs telling me I'm subhuman for whatever reason. I'm over it.
Edit: uh that was meant to be a DM I didn't mean to post it here uh
report the fucker who said that shit to you anywaysIf I wanted to hear you threaten to kill me, I would've asked you to. But no you're just going in my DMs telling me I'm subhuman for whatever reason. I'm over it.
