Funny, I've already forgotten you've dropped this subpar comment under my page.
Funny how things turned out, isn't it?
Your comment here:
"JudgeHeihachi was given his own sentence" & "Neither Gil nor Heihachi were frontrunners for Bamco: it was ALWAYS Lloyd, ever since Sakurai laughed and said 'It had to be Lloyd' in his Smash 4 interview"

The ironic thing is looks like the one who was given a sentence was you instead. Neither Geno, Lloyd, nor basically any other character you talked positively about (BEFORE they were added) made it in. But I recently read you haven't even played Tales of Symphonia, Mr. Bandwagoner, makes sense otherwise you would have noticed how redundant he would have been to add as all of his Artes are already present in Mii Swordfighter's custom specials as carbon copies which made it obvious he was always bound to return as a Mii costume.
Meanwhile while I did not get Heihachi, I got another one of my favorite Tekken characters who shares roughly 1/3 of his move pool with Heihachi anyway, so I ultimately won this battle. Also we know Sakurai has considered Heihachi again as he stated in Kazuya's presentation but then decided on Kazuya as he could also bring the devil gene abilities into Smash so we know for sure he was on the table again, which ultimately officially disproves your whole "Lloyd is Bamco's frontrunner" narrative in an official statement.
He was even honored to appear as a stage cameo with a fully good looking 3D model in his own home stage, along with the return of his Mii Costume based on his young appearance, and even got a legend class spirit, in addition to be also featured as an 8-bit sprite pulled from Galaga Tekken Edition in Pac-Man's Namco Roulette taunt. Meanwhile Lloyd only got his costume back without any other special fanfare or appearance. Sakurai couldn't even be bothered to include him in Pac-Man's taunt which is especially hilarious to me, as people like you claimed it was an obvious sign that he would be "spared" from it to later be made playable, when in fact he was simply so negligible and insignificant to all parties involved that nobody even cared enough to include him there lol. It's more than obvious who got the better treatment and more respect.

Also funny how you recently tried to push the narrative you would be a fan of fighting games and argued in favor of other Tekken characters (source: https://smashboards.com/threads/dlc-speculation-discussion-volume-ii.509845/page-1875#post-24473091 ), when that can easily be disproven too by taking a look at your previous previous statements where you also said Tekken characters in general can't happen fpr having over a hundred moves, despite you know the Mishimas being on the lower end with having around 80 moves only and a lot of them being duplicates for different approaches, proving yet again you no nothing about what you are trying to talk about.

Also my old theory was proven true with Namco and Square getting a character in season 2 and all costumes originally planned to return, while your theory was wrong because you dismissed the Chocobo hat (because it didn't feature a body-piece, instead of ya'know focusing on the more distinguishing trait of that it was also 3rd party content and thus makes more sense to be grouped with 3rd party full-body costumes instead of 1st party hats), and tried to downplay everything I said there:
Next time, leave the theory-crafting to the grown-ups, please.

Also Akinator Theory? Is it some kind of hobby of yours to make completely out-there theories and be proven wrong?
Fine, I'll make some delusional theories too now that have nothing to do with Smash, but I'll still try to connect the end result to Smash because every road surely has to lead to Smash right?

Siivagunner Theory: a character is more likely to be added to Smash when his series has more rips on Siivagunner's channel. Let's take a look:
Tekken: over a dozen ones.
Tales of: only one lousy rip.
Result: Siivagunner Theory made it obvious that a Tekken character was always going to be added first as Sakurai surely is going to look up how many meme rips a character has on Siivagunner's channel before he decides to add them. How didn't you see that coming?

Reddit Theory: a character is more likely to be added to Smash if his series' subreddit has more members:
Tekken subreddit: 137,000 members
Tales subreddit: 51,000 members
Result: The Reddit theory made it obvious that a Tekken character was always going to be prioritized because that's obviously a deciding factor in Nintendo's and Sakurai's decision making routine. How could anyone argue against such a flawless theory?

Now I made two pointless theories on the same level as Akinator Theory. What was your initial point again?

Anyway putting all of that aside it was always obvious Nintendo was going for the big guns and Tales of can hardly hold a candle to Tekken's popularity, iconicness, sales, revenue, and overall impact and importanct to gaming. It was always obvious Nintendo would like to have a nearly complete hall of fame of all important Japanese gaming series and there was no way around including Tekken in this hall of fame.

Akinator Theory was literally a joke made up by me and some friends that Lloyd was guessed more on the app than Heihachi by a substantial amount as well as other big wanted characters for Smash, so CLEARLY they had better chances to get it.

Also, this has nothing to do with Tekken's iconic-ness: it's because Sakurai failed in Smash 4 to get Heihachi in the game, so he stuck to his promise for a Tekken rep and picked a character who could actually fit into Smash and not be trash.

Regardless, you were still wrong about Heihachi getting in, and I already knew that if we got a Tekken rep it would be Kazuya or Jin because they were better choices for multiple reasons, and it seems Sakurai and his team agreed.

Imagine responding to a comment over a year and a half later in such a serious manner when it was simply a joke. Joke is still on you though, because I love fighting games and I'm hyped about Kazuya, my only attachment to Lloyd being a friend of mine wants him. My video on my channel still rings true as well: Heihachi didn't get in as playable, and that was what you kept pushing for, and in addition Tekken in Smash didn't 'break the internet' all that much at all...which is something you claimed would happen. I knew better, because I knew that any fighting game rep outside of Street Fighter would be lesser well received, especially after Terry.

Let's just hope that on the 5th we get something less overall disappointing to the fanbase than Kazuya.
