Thread is dead at the moment so here is a Yoshi matchup chart Suarez posted: Pretty optimistic outside of swordie matchups.

The cynic in me says were getting a First Party at the end of the pass if only because having a big 3rd Party at the tail end probably won't do much in terms of moving Fighter Pass sales at that point in the game. Doesn't DLC like this usually sell the most during the first few days/week of...

Since this is at the Game Awards, my gut feeling says either Monster Hunter or Jonesy Fortnite.

Okay, what about bigger 3rd party stuff with a Nintendo presence like Crash, Minecraft, & Monster Hunter, recent switch games like Sword/Shield and Xenoblade 2, long standing requests like Waluigi, Bandana Dee, Lloyd Irving & Geno, or frankly any moderately relevant gaming franchise with an...

Its not a rule but looking at the major non-arcade 3rd party content, Sakurai/Nintendo still somewhat favors franchises that has/had a strong Nintendo consoles presence as opposed to indiscriminately throwing in random content from all corners of the industry. I don't say this because of any...

We literally got Simon Belmont, Rathalos as a boss, Dragon Quest, and Banjo-Kazooie over the course of Ultimate all of which have strong Nintendo ties in contrast to Joker and an Akira Assist Trophy for characters associated with Nintendo's competitors. People need to stop thinking that there...

Just going to point out that The Pokemon Company publishes the Pokemon games in Japan so his comment on publishers could theoretically mean only one 3rd Party (though I think were getting half 1st party & half 3rd party).

There's no hard rule against characters primarily associated with rival which is why we have :ultsnake::ultcloud::ultjoker: but note that the former two have had Sakurai explicitly cite outside demand for their inclusion (fan demand in Cloud's and Kojima himself for Snake) and that Joker ended...

Kirby's issue is the same as every franchise outside of Pokemon (the franchise with by far the most potential for popular newcomers) and Fire Emblem (a series who's last two newcomers were DLC which operates under different principles) post-Brawl: unique character "slots" are at a premium and...

I figured that the character would be much less hype than Terry after the VGAs came and went without a reveal. It's pretty hard for me to be mad at Byleth when my predictions were already leaning towards more obscure 3rd parties like Adol & KOS-MOS.

Like a lot of people I was pulling for Edelgard, but I'm ecstatic to see Three Houses fully represented with a stage, music, and spirits. Awesome to see Byleth repping all the main weapons types and has a Down Special that isn't a counter, thank the gods.

I'm keeping my eye on Adol Christin for FP5 now that Hayabusa has been shot down. Its funny that Falcom gets almost no discussion here despite being one of the few classic Japanese game developers left, them creating the ARPG genre, and Ys being 30+ years old and still selling decently well to...

Never touched Ys in my life and really don't care for Adol at all but my gut feeling is saying Falcom is next in line. Like I see all the love Sakurai gave SNK and I'm of the mind that the last fighter has to, in Sakurai's mind, have some real sense of significance to their inclusion in beyond...

Wonder why he listed Mario as a good matchup for Hero? Mario's not the fastest character but I figure he'd still have enough mobility to get around Hero's tools and overwhelm him with his vastly superior frame data.

Other than not letting Mac use his Side-B again if he gets knocked out of it, Mac's biggest issue is that he gets screwed by platform camping since ideally he wouldn't be chasing opponents in the air anyway. I'd definitely peg him as a solid mid tier if Final Destination was the only legal stage.
