These are both interesting theories and I think @Guybrush20X6 is on to something with a Nintendo character being in to justify the cost. On the 6 vs 5 thing, my assumption was it was six since we had 6 DLC characters already with PP. My assumption could just be wrong and the reason it, as you...

So far, the only western characters to get into Smash have been ones Nintendo published, and more explicitly were made by Retro Studio or Rare. A lot of the times, the characters that have been popular in the West but not Japan were owned by Nintendo: namely Little Mac and Ridley. In Banjo's...

The point I was replying to was that there would be no issue with Nintendo characters because it's "In House". This isn't true because of the 2 1/2 hour travel

This is not true. Sora and Namco Bandai, who are making the game, are in Tokyo Nintendo is in Kyoto If you take the bullet train, it's about 2 and a half hours to get there. So no, the travel isn't easier for Nintendo characters. Square, Atlus, Sega and Konami are in Tokyo and would be easier...

I think the way you are counting the months is flawed. More fighters were confirmed in September 2019; however, that was done when they were still developing Vol 1 (Terry and Byleth hadn't released at that point). It would be more applicable to start from January when they released the last...

In his Famitsu column, he talks about the problems of working from home. The only thing directly about Smash was the bolded line. The first line is talking generally and then from his own experience. It should be noted that the company was likely Nintendo (Sora and Namco [the developer] are...

Chances 50%: To start, I've noticed a lot of people saying "There is no way it could happen. Third party characters are too big/hype/whatever". I feel like this line of thinking is a little simplistic. I should also note that people also thought that Volume 1 would be exclusively third party...

While normally the Director idea of the game defines it, Smash is kind of weird as a crossover. Sakurai can say it's a celebration of gaming but Nintendo is the one who controls the purse strings and, consequently, who gets in. Nintendo, with the main roster, was willing to let Sakurai have one...

Since this was on the front page, I want to discuss something I noticed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bv2D0fWUc8&feature=emb_title First, I think Max rambles a bit and says the same thing multiple times. Nonetheless, there was something interesting in what he notes first. "....because it's...

Conspiracy theory, but isn't it odd you get Fighter Pass 2, and ARMS and Splatoon 2. ARMS is getting a character so could Splatoon get one too? It's got the sales to justify it.

First, I don't think any one point should be considered in isolation. Kicking on it's own doesn't mean much since a lot of characters do it. But those in conjunction with other factors (such as her popularity and unique traits like the Dragon Arm), make her stand out amoung the rest. Just a...

Part of that is because Nintendo stuff rarely leaks. Sabi (back when he was doing this stuff) noted it's a big reason no one knew about Byleth as it's usually third party stuff that leaks. It could indicate more of Vol 2 is Nintendo stuff, though we'll have to wait and see

Star Tropics in Smash just based on this probably isn't happening. Now if there was a new Star Tropics game, then sure I think it has a possibility. It would be pretty dope to be honest.

My point is that the Dragon Arm also allows them to add the charging mechanics since you have to charge it up (either by holding Jump or Dash or getting a grab). Max Brass has this as well and could be added for the same reason, but I think there are multiple things going in her favor. Like I...

I want to throw my hat into the ring and actually make a prediction. I think the ARMS character is going to be Min Min. Cliche, sure, but let me explain Popularity - This means a lot with DLC. If you are going to have people buy into the DLC, then it should be a character people like. While...
