How recent is the Famitsu article you're talking about because this CoroCoro one just released. Unless they both came out at the same time I'd expect the Famitsu article was just giving the same information released during August.

Some interesting and potentially good news for once, guys! In the new issue of a Japanese gaming magazine CoroCoro they had an exclusive article covering Smash Bros where they confirmed that the total number of stages in the final base roster is 108. That means there's 5 new or returning stages...

I'll try to explain the box art theory as simple as possible in this thread for those who at least want to know how it's laid out. This is the official box art released. This is the full roster using the simple pattern found. It's really quite simple. They divided the characters into groups of 9...

I mean it's obvious it's a photoshop/edit of some kind that isn't exactly representative of the final box art since Isabelle is missing, but if it's supposed to be representative of the format they intend to use it would be hard for them to add new characters without bloating the roster by...

Japan cares about money and what sells. The waifu gacha craze is huge right now and Japan has always loved sexualizing and making tropes of their characters, men and women. It's just a part of their culture and they don't really see it as degrading but as humorous.

I hope so, but I just want to take a more realistic approach. Isabelle showed us that mainstream popularity and relevance play a bigger role than we might think. I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment by expecting things simply because we in the smash community want them to be...

Hype is relative, I guess. I feel like they are in a similar case as Isabelle. Isabelle is actually really popular and relevant mainstream, even if she isn't as popular within the smash community. Any kind of popular pokemon is already more mainstream than most of our most wanted characters...

If you really think about it, we already have almost all of the major Nintendo characters. Most of the characters people root for are obscure from a mainstream perspective. Even Isabelle is a lot more popular and relevant in the mainstream than our most wanted characters even if she wasn't the...

We never even got any kind of roster published on box art in previous titles other than a handful of characters from the game. Smash ultimate is the first game to actually do this kind of publishing of the full roster on the deluxe edition. Obviously, it isn't finished yet as it doesn't show...

It seems really odd that Sakurai would let us know the total number in the roster and that we would get almost...

https://imgur.com/a/Rvw03pR Here's a visual representation of what the box art would look like based on the pattern. Not including Ken who would be next to Ryu. If this is true, we only have one newcomer. I'd also like to state that this is placeholder art and may not be representative of the...

The only bad thing is we got absolutely nothing new to speculate over from this direct. It's going to be a slow month on smashboards...

I always felt a remixed burning town best represented Shantae. It's in all of her games, after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFvFGL0zt5E

Congratulations to those who were rooting for Isabelle since the beginning! I thought she'd get in as an echo of villager, but many of her moves are unique and she even got her own trailer. Sakurai can be full of surprises. Poor Tom Nook, though...
