Whether it's in this game or the next one, Crash has to be my most wanted Smash character.

I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I'm hyped for Erdrick! Not long ago I thought he'd be a meh choice compared to Chrono or Sora, but now, I can't wait to play him! I am looking forward to his reveal!

Wow, Porky's in next year, along with Mother 3!

It's time.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING!
I've never played a Persona game (I've wanted to play 4 and 5 at least for ages though), but the fact that Persona music, and a (knock-off) STAND USER is in Smash is ****ing crazy!
Also, Pack #1?! Confident DLC is going to be great this time round. I can actually see Banjo-Kazooie, Crash and maybe even Travis Touchdown having a chance to get in, this time.
Heaps happy with this. I'll wait for one more character reveal, and if it isn't Steve, I'm buying this pack!

**** yes. SMASH IS HERE! Just gotta deal with one day of school first.

Game Awards announce the Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie remakes as well as Banjo-Threeie/Banjo-Kazooie in Smash.

Just started F-Zero GX yesterday, first game of the series that I've played, and as far as style goes, it's one of Nintendo's coolest IPs. The gameplay is amazing too, I've been a fan of all kinds of racing games since I was a young child, and this might be the best racing game I've ever played! In an ideal world, Nintendo would just drop Mario Kart, given the state that series has gotten in, and just make a new stunning F-Zero (possibly with some kind of Mach Rider crossover?). Black Shadow is the best!

Ranking the newcomers in base roster.
11. Chrom - Ike's recovery is heaps of fun, but I prefer Ike.
10. Daisy - Shame there's no "Hi, I'm Daisy!" taunt.
9. Inkling - Kind of easy to forget that Ridley was the third newcomer, not the first. Inkling's the least interesting newcomer, character wise, because everyone knew they'd be in. However, they look absolutely great, and fit home in Smash, just like they did Mario Kart. Love the animations and the moveset/mechanics seem interesting. I think needing to gain ink during tense moments will really screw them over though.
8. Richter - Awesome looking guy, but I think I've finally decided that I'm going with Simon.
7. Dark Samus - A better Samus! Looks awesome! Will choose it over normal Samus.
6. Incineroar - While I was initially upset to see them, representing team despair rather than team hope (the side I was on. Rest in piece, Grinch), it wasn't long until I could rewatch Incineroar's gameplay and see that, while he isn't a fan requested character, and he is obviously just in because The Pokémon Company chose him to be the Sun/Moon Pokémon to really push, that doesn't matter, because his moveset is absolutely awesome, and he's super expressive too, which is a huge plus. Sure, seeing Sceptile or something may have been cooler initially, but in the end, I think Incineroar is the best newcomer for the franchise we could have gotten. I don't think he'd have any chance being added as a newcomer in any future Smash entry, and he's shaping up to be special.
5. Isabelle - Really cute animations, and looks like a more fun Villager, to me. I like certain moves Villager has, like Pocket, but I'm not really a big fan of playing him. I'll definitely play Isabelle more than Villager, but she's not main material or anything.
4. King K. Rool - Awesome trailer, awesome looking character, but, I'm simply not the kind to play a heavy character heaps in Smash. That being said, he seems like he might be one of the best.
3. Ken - A better Ryu! Looks awesome! Will choose him over Ryu. I've always been more of a Ken fan, anyway. His personality makes him really likable, and I like his design more than Ryu's. One of my most wanted Echoes, and he's in, and looks great!
2. Simon - Knew he'd be in, but seeing his trailer was still an absolute blast! Drove me to finally play Castlevania, and I started with Super Castlevania IV, which was amazing! Truly makes you feel heroic. I'd like to get good with this guy, as I love his moveset, and the setups he can do. However... I like close ranged play, and I don't think he'll be the best for it.
1. Ridley - Wanted him in Smash 4, and seeing him finally playable, and with a perfect design, menacing, bad-ass animations... Sakurai and the team really did this **** justice! I'd love to main one of Nintendo's most evil characters. Shredding apart Villager, Inklings, Yoshis! He looks so fun to play.

If anyone feels as if they haven't been hyped for Smash Ultimate due to the lack of any news recently, I saw a couple of videos today that definitely rekindled my excitement, not that it died, but this made me forget about the drought!
An amazing Ness player previously unheard of, who I'm hoping to see make a name for himself in future tournaments. Ryon is heaps of fun to watch! Here was the first video I saw with him fighting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbzt80-Zo1A
He knows everything to do with his character. While some of his opponents aren't particularly great (this isn't a pro tournament, just teenagers), you can still see how well he's doing with his juggling, combos and predictions. There are some parts of this fight with Snake that are just a blast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4u0yS7yqcE
Had heaps of fun watching this guy. Also, the balloon knockback has gone from really good to ****ing great, to me. It's just one of the many things that make the fights more engaging to watch in this game then they are in Smash 4!
I can't wait to play this game.

My excitement for JoJo Part 5 rivals my excitement for Smash 5.
