Still wish I predicted Shovel Knight before he was leaked. ._.
You know what they say, you can't predict Sakurai.

The RTC thread has been doing it for two years by now and has failed. Consistently.

Can't wait the post-ballot era to come, then all these discussions will finally end.

I miss the pre-Smash 4 era, when each one was eager with each newcomer announcement and speculations.

Now it's trash talk on trash talk, not only in the RTC thread, but in this one as well, and everywhere, especially when it's about indies.
The day I will say that Smash has lost its 'magic' is when it will include content from anything that doesn't originate from a video game, and from a rival manufacturer like Sony and Microsoft (minus Banjo and other Rare characters who has at least a past with Nintendo).

For now, I don't see the problem to include another third-party or a indie character beside a new Nintendo character.

A reason why ypu should look at bluepikmins roster and vote bayonetta is to see the interwebs have a happy meltdown again. Would generate more hype than Ryu.

Not being a Smash amiibo does not mean it will not work on Smash!
This is very true. Although it's worth noting that every non smash amiibo that works with smash has a smash amiibo version as well. However, that's not to say that won't change in the future.

Didn't the Shovel Knight leak mention something like "K.Rool's chances are basically none and only 2 more DLC characters"? Would this coming true, confirm those if Shovel Knight ends up being announced today/tomorrow?

While that's true, I don't see this boding well for his chances. I mean, if Shovel Knight was actually planned or seriously being considered for Smash, why not just make a traditional Smash amiibo that has functionality with his game? Making a Shovel Knight amiibo strictly for his game now would suggest that there are no current plans to have Shovel Knight in Smash.

Right, it's been clear ever since Gematsu made the incorrect predictions about Chrom and the Chorus Kids being playable characters.

Anyway, about this Shovel Knight thing. I'm not 100% convinced it's real or fake, but if he does happen, I'd gladly purchase his DLC whenever possible.

Not necessarily... didn't that guy who said those things recently "backpedal" by saying that his statements were just speculation?

I felt as if people are taking DLC and Smash way too serious sometimes. When it comes to DLC, I don't mind whoever gets in to be honest. As for Shovel Knight, I don't mind him at all. I just picked up playing his game again. Yet again, I can be sometimes classified as an old school gamer.

First of all, give an explanation to why, I haven't accessed the net in a while so I don't know any details since yesterday, second, how the **** would it be 'a close call'?
The amiibo isn't part of the Smash line. Simple enough answer. And it's a close call, since the way Yacht Club was talking about it, it seemed like he had a real chance of getting in.

That's not really how you use 'a close call' though. It would imply you had any impact. It means that something happened to change it. If anything, saying 'that's a relief' would have been better. I personally don't care if Shovey's playable or not

Can someone please reopen the thread for Dr. Lobe? He recently got spoiled as a costume in Super Mario Maker, which theoretically helps his chances.

Speculation God, GOML
"I don't want him in over my favourite character!"
That's it really.
The other reason is extremely obvious and probably not worth mentioning, but some people just do not want him in the game because they are not interested in his character. Whether or not that is the result of the perception that he is not "deserving" or perhaps that they would prefer a more "Nintendo" character (some third party characters are closely associated with Nintendo and therefore are on that players radar). We have limited DLC slots and to some, this is a character that they might skip because they never played his game to achieve any relevant attachment to the character. Last I heard, it could be really outdated, the sales figures were around 700,000. So there are a LOT of people who play Smash that have not played Shovel Knight. I am one of them. That being said, I want to play it now. I will probably get the physical copy.

I was more addressing the really salty reactions any how.
I feel it's still a bit too early for Shovel Knight to be in but he'd certainly be great nonetheless.
