Although this thread didn't gain the traction I had hoped, I figure I would comment one final time, with the last reveal just about 24 hours away. I've tried to connect the dots in vain, as--up to this point--no picture has formed. I don't expect Ryo to be the last fighter (my bet is with the...

Since this is the last time I'll get to post Smash predictions for a long while, I figure I'll throw my hat in the ring. You never know. It comes in four parts: 1. Fighter = Protagonist (Shin Megemi Tensei V) 2. Mii costumes = -Rayman -Sora -Spartan (Halo; it will be armor and they won't call...

This is a great idea!

NiGHTS would be such a fantastic addition to Smash. If Sakurai is looking for a unique mechanic for new fighters, then NiGHTS' flying and paralooping would be a good challenge for him. I played Journey of Dreams shortly after it came out on Wii, and while it had its moments, I was left a...

Eggman: "And I took that personally."

In celebration of Shenmue III's release on steam, I went back and made many changes to the OP. With the Game Awards coming up, I have hope.

A little late in posting this, but this video uses infallible math to predict Ryo at just past the 23:00 mark. (...Just ignore that their other Fighter Pass 2 predictions were wrong).

With the second wave of DLC, I've since reconsidered how fighters are chosen. Min-Min is not from an overwhelming popular series, but it's new for Nintendo and has room to grow. Steve / Alex are from the best-selling game from all-time. It seems that sales--either potential or actualized may...

Although I would like Crash to be a playable character, part of me wonders that due to the hiatus the series took prior to 2018, there might not have been enough time to work him into the roster (along with other factors). A Mii costume, however, would be do-able. And with the commercials from...

My practical side says Lloyd Irving is coming next. My hopelessly foolish side says Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue. Both sides are wrong though.

I've had a feeling the past couple of days that we'll see a Mii costume of him. (I've never played any Yakuza games, but I love Sega and realize how important the franchise has become for them.)

Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue. Despite the game's name recognition, the legion of Dreamcast fans, the massive fan reception for the Shenmue III Kickstarter, and how groundbreaking Shenmue was, his Smash thread is mostly crickets.

Thanks for the support! :)

I've never commented on this thread before? "I don't believe this!" With Tails and Knuckles as Mii costumes and Knuckles and Shadow as ATs, it looks increasingly likely that Robotnik is Sonic fan's last best shot to get another representative in Smash. Robotnik could be a spectacular fighter...

It's realllyyy looking like Arle is coming. If not, Sakurai is setting her up for the second wave of DLC and is just messing with us now. I'd be content with Arle--pleased, no less (though, no more). I won't lie and say I'm a huge Puyo-Puyo fan. But I could see the moveset being very...
