He isn't, actually. That's the specific design for the empty one.
I mean... kind of? He does go inside of it in the game but it doesn't show him or state his name. Not like in Brawl where he had an entire boss fight. For being a big part of 2 of the 3 games, he sure doesn't show up a whole lot, nor does his entire Pig Mask Army, or even the Porky Statue. There's a lot missing.
I mean...nobody. Cause I already got a bunch of characters wrong.
Always have been.
Funny scuba man.
Adol Christin, though Reimu also works.
It already happened for me with Banjo & Kazooie. next stop is Sgt. Cortez but no one is really arguing against him. Not even on Twitter, not even a peep from the one that shall not be named.
Chosen Undead and Saber.
Yeah, I knew it was the empty version, I just assumed the developers didn't notice like with the Masked Man sprite. I mean there are literally more than a thousand spirits so making a mistake on at least some would only be human.
whats funny is A lot of KH fans were 100% fine with Sepiroth. A 2nd Sephiroth based on the KH one is a win for us
Oh boy, I can't wait until we get even more stylish / disrespectful off stage Octaslash kills.You laugh, but when March comes around and Sephiroth gets revealed a second time; you won’t laugh.
Absolutely a Dota 2 character. It's pretty much obscure in Japan, so in the really bloody remote chance it gets in it would shatter the "Popular in Japan" assumption to smithereens. My inner Waluigi would love the ensuing anarchy.
That doesn't mean they made the mistake, just that it's possible. I don't see a good reason to assume here either.
I currently have no expectations for Porky getting in Smash, and the whole Isaac situation in Smash 4 gives me room to believe that the Smash team can just forget characters entirely. That said, I still roll my eyes at those saying Porky was 100% deconfirmed because of the Capsule.
...Didn't Sakurai's team put together the spirits anyway? So it wouldn't be Sakurai being coy. Just the team isn't perfect. It explains the weird Masked Man sprite. It explains the Absolute Safety Capsule being properly empty(whether it was meant to be by the time is difficult to say. They did a lot of research on some stuff to make tons of fun jokes for Spirit representations). They're distinct situations overall, but a mistake by a set of people nonetheless.
Because that's what Cloud needed: Multiple belts to hold up his suspenders.
Nomura: Belts? Nah, Im into Plaid now
I'm pretty sure they're there to hold up the waist armor. Still too many, though.
Gingham, actually.
Daft Punk.
From my entire time here, Reimu. I've been pushing the theory of an indie rep, and with how widespread Touhou is, especially in Japan, she seems like the best bet. I've cooled off from my earlier days of "SHE'S IN SHE'S IN SHE'S MOST DEFINITELY IN," but I'm still remaining optimistic.
I feel like he's pretty likely, but I'm not certain about anyone tbh
"Crash Bandicoot"
You've actually said that a lot of times when someone wanted a first-party that wasn't super-recent. Not that I'm someone who think's Porky HAS to be in, mind you.
Maybe, but a big advantage that Crash has is that his games used to be huge in Japan, selling over a million copies, meaning that Crash would absolutely still be perceived as an icon there whereas Doomguy would probably be seen as obscure. Then again, for what it is worth, Sakurai himself noted John Carmack, the guy who made Doom, as “the father of FPS’s” so western gaming history is also acknowledged .
Bill god dam Rizer. In fact, Konami is honestly overlooked in speculation. I know we had a whole conversation about Konami a couple days ago but that doesn't happen often. Between Bill, Alucard, Raiden, Frogger, Pyramid Head, and I think a couple others I'm forgetting, they have a solid lineup of characters.
Unless that first-party character has popularity that can compete with Ridley or K. Rool or can be passed off as a retro character like G+W, ROB, or DH, I'd be willing to bet that they aren't very likely.
Actually, it's moreso because he was going to outright replace Ness but since Mother 3 isn't coming overseas, he decided to keep both in to appeal to both sides.
Meowth as the Pokemon Rep, with Alola/Galarian forms as Alts.
It's unconfirmed that Ness actually was planned to be scrapped for Brawl. It was just a fan assumption that was made after Lucas was confirmed for the game.
Ah, I thought we had that information. My bad.
This is fun and games until you realize the pigmasks are supposed to be literal nazis lmao
It's not like a lot of Empire fans care that they're space Nazis.
