I originally posted this on reddit, but here's why I believe that Lloyd has a really solid shot: Now add the Mystic leak and the fact that Lloyd survived the Direct.

You're thinking of Yoshizumi, the producer. Yo****o (producer of Vesperia, director and dev on Symphonia) is openly pushing for Tales rep.

Don't forget the fact that Lloyd's game's developers are working on Smash Ultimate and have openly said that they're pushing for Tales representation.

Added the new supporters! Also, caught this on Reddit - "Lloyd's master plan":

Bandana Dee Extremely popular, Nintendo property, Sakurai darling. Lloyd Irving Biggest costume character to not receive any representation what-so-ever. Also this. Heihachi Mishima Only other costume character that has yet to receive any representation. Geno Spirits don't deconfirm...

Isaac friends best friends.

Given that the roster is now known and paid DLC fighters have been confirmed, I think it's important to pay particular attention to which characters are suspiciously absent from the game. The ones that come to mind are Bandana Dee (the most popular ballot pick to lack any sort of representation...

Unfortunate (and a little baffling) that Isaac didn't get in, but the fact that we have yet to see anything regarding Lloyd - neither an assist trophy nor his old Mii costume - has me hopeful that he's one of the characters being considered for DLC. Him and Heihachi are the only costume...

Him and Heihachi are the only costume characters left that hasn't been...

Here's where I stand - the Grinch Leak has several issues, ranging from its seemingly illogical nature (as described in my previous comment) and technical errors in the background itself to a number of established insiders either questioning its validity or flat-out claiming that it's false. It...

I honestly don't have much faith in the Grinch Leak. Between the supposed leaker claiming not to know about anything that's going on, the mistakes and inconsistencies in the background, the blurry nature of the image in question, and the fact the leaker's name was very poorly obscured, there's...

Wait, what do you mean? Are you talking about the Tales Festival polls? I'm not sure those are really much of a factor here - the Yoshi interview seemed to imply that it had more to do with Lloyd's extreme popularity among Nintendo fans. He's like Yuri, except far more recognizable outside the...

Utility fighters make for lame metas, and I still think that it'd be ridiculous of them to add one of the least popular characters in the entire franchise. Seriously, she ranked in bottom 11 in a ranking of over 100 characters. Added! Cheers.

The sequel had issues that extended far beyond just the gameplay for me. It focused far too much on new original characters that lacked the charm of the original cast, completely missed the mark in terms of execution of the various ideas that made ToS (some of which ToS 2 did admittedly managed...

I doubt they'd add one of the least liked characters in the entire franchise over what might well be considered a poster boy. Lloyd is a lot more than just a guy with two swords, and has plenty of potential to be a very unique and interesting character - I can't think of any other character in...
