Do we have any evidence that Microsoft has hefty demands relative to other third party companies? I think the bigger problems facing those characters are that Steve sounds like an absolute pain to program, while Banjo is probably low on the priority of third parties to bring back as long as he...

It's out for Master Chief, but Sora is still a fantastic way to end things. Probably the only time Smash has ever ended on a high-note. While we didn't get Chief, I still got Snake, Wolf, Ridley, K Rool, and Banjo. And I know Simon, Joker, Hero, Steve, Sephiroth, and Sora mean a whole lot to...

Chris Pratt Mario will be the final DLC character.

I would say Halo could have more music variety than Banjo & Steve. Banjo has a problem of simply not having that many games (Let's be real, only 2 games people care about), and the ones he does have had music which would be very unfitting for a Smash battle, which meant most of the tracks would...

Well this verge update tells me that his info was probably entirely bunk, oh well. Gonna still hold out some hope, but at this point I just want the last fighter to be interesting, regardless of whether or not it's Master Chief.

Are we still using the "Has to be on a Nintendo system" criteria because I think that would disqualify LoL unless I'm missing a release. Master Chief might be disqualified too if him appearing as a texture on Minecraft for Switch doesn't count.

Job #125: Submit a third party fighter from a genre not currently represented with a series that has a playable fighter in Smash. This one is somewhat straightforward. As a celebration of gaming, I think it would be a good idea for Smash Bros to branch out to represent types of games which...

Alright, can anyone tell me if Vergeben has posted anything about Master Chief outside of what he says in this thread? https://www.reddit.com/user/DasVergeben/comments/o0bery/cortana_tell_me_whos_coming_to_smash/ I ask this because, as someone who didn't see the leak firsthand (I tried to go...

Nintendo's E3 was like a 5 or 6/10 at best to me, but considering how lame the rest of this year's conferences were, Nintendo still ended up being the best by default on the basis there were at least some announcements that made me excited.

I mean it took years for Vergeben's "Minecraft content" leak to come true. Not seeing Chief today was a hit but I'm not sure why we'd give up right now. Closest we have to a deconfirm is the 343 Manager, and even then we also had a Mojang Community Manager dismiss Steve. However, Verge has had...

I always thought Heihachi was Sakurai's Tekken character of Choice, this certainly makes more sense of the situation. I was quite confused as someone unfamiliar with Tekken outside of Heihachi popping up in Smash speculation.

Me: Well, at least if Chief doesn't show up at E3 I will be able to hang the towel before getting my hopes up for the final fighter. Vergeben: Not so fast there. For real, thank god I didn't see this leak before watching this direct, my expectations were kept in check, if I went in expecting...

While I hope we can just rip the band-aid off and get a Chief reveal on the 15th, that petty part of me is hoping Chief is the last character just so we could get "Master Chief finishes the fight" as his splash screen tag. I mean come on, it's too perfect!

1. Sus 2. Fall Guy 3. Reckless Wii Mote Safety Man

I'd say Smash has done decently regarding an east and west balance. Overall the roster skews Japanese, but considering Smash is made in Japan that does make some sense. Regardless, Sakurai does still pay attention to western fans. We got Little Mac, Ridley, and Banjo, which were prominently...
