Speculation or not I felt you were on to something with the blog posts and what not.
Don't forget the "Music Theory". It's funny that it has two different cases that both benefit Isaac. The (at least) one song per series. And my favorite, one different composer each song. Golden Sun composer, Motoi Sakuraba has yet to be revealed and he's one of THE biggest ones in the music department for Smash. You would think he'd be shown by now. Hmm?
Out of curiosity, has anyone ever checked older blog posts to see if any others have been skipped since the beginning?
There have been a few. At least two in a row, with one being a really weird situation. Ness' memory should be 120. The ID in the hidden title is 200, but the images are for 120. (121 is also missing.)
The fake leak version of him comes to mind
Might be a tad late to the punch, if Isaac were to be added, I'd probably only push for Skull Kid since I'd be pretty content with the Roster. I've already gotten some of my favourite veterans - Roy, Little Mac, Cloud, Shulk... My most wanted newcomers in Inklings, Simon, Ridley and K. Rool... Skull Kid would be the next character at the top of my wishlist, but I wouldn't any other characters that might join the fight. ..provided it's not freakin' steve...
I really liked the fake render from that leak minus the face and hair of course but if the official design is anywhere close to that with the trench coat I’ll be extremely happy!
I mean, if Snake can get in, Wynaut?
Not saying he's completely impossible, and he certainly has some Smash qualities to him, but he definitely has as alot going against him.
Master Chief's made an official appearance on the Switch via Minecraft DLC.
Sorry for the late reply Dragon quest is really iconic in Japan so I wonder why it took so long and erdrick would be the one to get in for sure and ryu needs to get in so we can have a real ninja
That's a stretch if I've ever seen one.
All these classic characters but nah we need pokemon #35 and FE #20.
I didn't mind the fire emblem picks till Roy got back in then it was enough and I was tired of pokemon when mewtwo came back we have enough of these franchises zelda needs more donkey Kong needs one more etc etc
So was smash 4s cloud
I believe
PushDustIn
was in the process of Translating it. He's probably busy so he might not drop in to confirm or deny what you said, though.
Yeah I was being a tad melodramatic there, but you get what I mean I hope.
Japanese gamers actually know who Snake is.
Well I'd be over the moon of course but I'd probably mainly support Banjo & Kazooie and Phoenix Wright after that.
Rathalos is an assist trophy so showing that picture off for Rathalos and for a Golden Sun tease at the same time. There is no doubt in my mind that the picture is completely planned even if it is in the smash data base. The fact that he went out of his way to comment on it and to tweet it in general is just way too coincidental. Not too mention that he really thought it was cool. People think that he is just referencing Rathalos, but it's more complex than that and Sakurai has already said that he has to be careful about what he tweets.
If the next Smash direct continued the popular request theme of the August direct no way Isaac isn't going to get revealed as he's pretty much one of the most obvious, long requested characters still missing. I could see the final smash direct revealing Isaac, Ken, Square rep (Geno likely) for instance.
It is true if we go by the remaining characters that are mentioned by Vergeben none of them really fit the term "ballot winner". (Although Square enix rep probably is Geno)
Skull Kid and Impa echo will be perfect for Zelda. D.K just needs Dixie to be perfect.
Sakurai said it was INFLUENCED by the ballot, not exactly chosen. Incineroar fits the mold of current generation Pokemon that Smash has had going for years (the Pokemon Company has been known to give him designs in advance, i.e. Greninja happened). Steve, idk. It feels really weird to talk about Steve because I'm not sure how to feel about him. On one hand, representation from the most successful indie game of all time that would appeal to a non-Smash audience. On the other hand, he's owned by Microsoft and most longtime fans of the series would rather have Banjo-Kazooie or even Master chief over him. The question becomes "is Sakurai willing to endure the massive backlash Steve would get him in order to broaden the game's appeal?" I don't think he would, but hey, Corrin happened, so who knows. Point is, the ballot, while determining a lot of things in this game, is not determining everything in this game.
Honestly Steve doesn't deserve to be in smash IMHO, Isaac is most definitely more deserving.
Going off the characters who have currently been revealed, Ridley is self explanatory, August direct Sakurai prefaced every new character by how popular/highly requested they were, and even recently Isabelle still fits the popular character mold. Even the assist trophies are seeing popular new faces like Krystal and Shovel Knight who likely all had their presence in the ballot. There has yet to be a character added that sticks out against this trend but Pokemon doing so would be no surprise.
Thanks!
The thing is, "deserving" is pretty subjective. Comparing Isaac to Steve, I'd agree with you, since Isaac is a Nintendo property.
