It would be a strange move for Nintendo to have a 50 million franchise as the 2nd to last character and then have a franchise that’s either got way less sales or has games that barely hit sales as the final character.
You do know what XC2's sales are, right? It would be just like following Minecraft and Sephiroth with a game that only sold somewhere under 2 million.

(mostly) Purple army of first-party characters I really want;
  1. Porky Minch
  2. Waluigi
  3. Mimikyu
  4. Rex with Roc
Frankly I don't have many characters left that I really want. Mimikyu still stings.

Hmm... I honestly don't have that many first party wants anymore. The only two I would like to see are Dixie Kong and a Rival/Rocket Pokemon Trainer. Maybe I need to get involved in some of the smaller franchises.

Difference being though that pyra and myphra are the 3rd character in the pass and was dropped in a Nintendo direct. This last character will probably be in a stand alone presentation or even saved for the final spot of a Nintendo direct where there’s more pressure on the character announcement.

Why do you have characters that are crossed out?

Cranky Kong is the single coolest dark horse they could add and even the leading category in first party picks is highly underrated in cool factor. Paper Mario especially would be amazing regardless of the reception of newest games

EDIT: No I’m wrong the coolest is the Lynel

The last character revealed like this was Byleth.

I feel like Kazuya indicates CP11 will be 1st party, with Nintendo giving us a big third party to keep hype up when we get a 1st party. Like how we got min min to steve, and seph to pythra. It seems to me we will go Kazuya to a 1st party (most likely a recent 1st party so they can move the now "spending no cash" smash base to Nintendo's other software).
idk, anytime we try to see a pattern in stuff like that they throw a curveball that breaks the pattern (for example, the first fighter pass had 4 third party characters, and then had Byleth)

I mean...that's how we got Byleth, and I don't think he's usually considered as a big or crowd pleaser pick.

In any case, I don't think CP11 will be revealed in a Sakurai Presents. It's probably going to be announced at September's Direct, if we got one as usual.

I also don't expect a Sakurai Presents reveal for CP11 unless the character will be announced in either October or November.

Not including any Punch-Out characters is sin

Also a bit weird that you have Namco Arcade as Pac-Man's category, but then only list Ms. Pac-Man anyway. There's a lot of fun potential picks if we're going with that approach: Taizo Hori, Mappy, Gil, Valkyrie, Rick Taylor, Wonder Momo, even Don-Chan technically counts

The issue with first party speculation for Me Personally is that, at this point, the first party inclusions I'd really want are almost always characters who Nintendo themselves would have no reason to pick. As in, usually from franchises that died off before the Switch was even a thing, never mind having had a game on it. When the first party among my wants that has the highest shot of getting picked by Nintendo is Waluigi, and the others aren't even close, that's saying...quite a bit.

Like, from franchises already on the roster, I'd only really be super into additional characters from Super Mario (namely Waluigi), Pokémon (depending on the choice), Fire Emblem, Punch-Out!!, and ARMS, but for characters from new franchises?

Give me Muddy Mole, Takamaru, Starfy, Henry Fleming, Saki, Kyle Hyde, Mach Rider, the Chorus Kids, Sukapon...there are so many great characters in Nintendo's backlog.

If they wanted to, they could pull a "The final fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is...

...

Revealed in the last Smash direct!"
I don't think that's gonna happen unless we're getting another guessing game like they did with Min Min.

I mean, we already have Little Mac, but good*. I don't really see what else PUNCH-OUT!! has to offer.

*kind of kidding but also not
Punch-Out!! has like, over a dozen additional boxers to choose from, all brimming with personality. It's not a Duck Hunt situation where your only other option is The Tree on the Left. Saying it doesn't offer anything else is needlessly reductive.

These are the only first party picks I could possibly want.

Ocarina of Time Adult Link
Pico from F-Zero
John Raimi from Geist

But you know, Nintendo aren't based enough to add awesome characters like these.

Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
The issue with first party speculation for Me Personally is that, at this point, the first party inclusions I'd really want are almost characters who Nintendo themselves would have no reason to pick. As in, usually from franchises that died off before the Switch was even a thing, never mind having had a game on it. When the first party among my wants that has the highest shot of getting picked by Nintendo is Waluigi, and the others aren't even close, that's saying...quite a bit.

Like, from franchises already on the roster, I'd only really be super into additional characters from Super Mario (namely Waluigi), Pokémon (depending on the choice), Fire Emblem, Punch-Out!!, and ARMS, but for characters from new franchises?

Give me Muddy Mole, Takamaru, Starfy, Henry Fleming, Saki, Kyle Hyde, Mach Rider, the Chorus Kids, Sukapon...there are so many great characters in Nintendo's backlog.
Yeah it's kind of a downer when you think about 1st parties realistically.

This is of course, only considering 1st party series that already have characters, but...yeah.

Honestly it's even more bleak if the series doesn't even have its foot in the door:
  • Is it NES era?
  • Is it a series Nintendo is currently doing anything with?
  • Is it highly successful?
  • Is it highly fan requested?
If the answer to all of the first three is "no", then they're not getting in unless they are super heavily fan requested, with maybe a slight exception if they're a character that was picked just to be different.

Punch-Out!! has like, over a dozen additional boxers to choose from, all brimming with personality. It's not a Duck Hunt situation where your only other option is The Tree on the Left. Saying it doesn't offer anything else is needlessly reductive.
I know it has neat characters, I'm just worried that they'd all be pigeon-holed into having Little Mac's gimmick, which would kinda suck.

Most of my most wanted are third parties, but there are some first parties I’d be excited for (I can think of Bandana Dee, Officer Howard, and anything Sin & Punishment off the top of my head)
Oh god..

OH GOD
What If we get a Standalone Sakurai Presents ??? for the fighter, but Sakurai does another hand pose?
Everyone's gonna go crazy trying to interpret that stuff LMAO
“If you look at his fingers, you can see that they represent 227 in binary. If you convert that to hexadecimal, you get 0xE3. Therefore, he’s hinting that they’ll announce the secret third Fighter’s Pass next E3”

I mean...that's how we got Byleth, and I don't think he's usually considered as a big or crowd pleaser pick.

In any case, I don't think CP11 will be revealed in a Sakurai Presents. It's probably going to be announced at September's Direct, if we got one as usual.
Even though byleth and fire emblem in general is not considered a Crowed pleaser the franchise sales are still big with 17 million. It’s enough for everyone to recognise even if the reception is bad.

The Byleth Smashcord is also the second biggest. Probably has to do with FE fans being social media savvy and the character being well liked competitively.

Wonder if the last character will go on the mural next to daisy since she’s got her eyes on someone but she’s not looking at anyone currently. It’s like the most obvious spot on the mural that suggests someone will be there. Who would fit there though would be anyone’s guess.

Another spot I’ve noticed is

Snake has his gun pointing at someone but it isn’t pointing currently at anyone on the roster

Either way I feel the last character will have someone in one of these positions or maybe in between the 2 somehow.
I wouldn’t look too deeply into that. The mural
has been around for 3 years now. They definitely didn’t plan it out that far in advance.

Though, Snake pointing his missile launcher at someone would bode well for my most wanted lol
