Agreed, but I’m expecting it to be Erdrick and Banjo
Alright , this is ironic coming from a big Geno supporter , but I don't see Erdrick being as likely as everyone think he is. I especially don't expect him to show at E3 ;
All DQ games that SE wanted to port to the Switch are announced already , the only thing we could get is maybe a release date for DQ XXI S.
Also , it's E3. They need groundbreaking stuff. We got ****ing Ridley for last E3. Not saying Erdrick is a nobody , DQ is huge in Japan and all that shtick , but... Microsoft playing a big role in Nintendo's E3 presentation make me think that it would be easier to just drop 2 Microsoft rep.
Erdrick would really feel out there compared to all the Nintendo games and the more than possible big Microsoft news.
If he get in , I rather expect a full on Smash direct for him. Especially since he's probably going to bring mii costumes with him.
Also , simple reminder that it's SE. It's possible to work with them , but it was really hard with only Cloud and the Geno mii costume (If SE had more power over his Smash design , Cloud would have been grossly overpowered , only 2 songs , not a SINGLE FF SPIRIT , no new stage , ect...)
Working on a character from a Western company + a character from one of the stingiest company out there at the same time... Is a bit too much , even for Sakurai.
And before someone tell me Brave... This is just a vague codename that could be applied to ton of characters + some ****y data. It is in now way proof for Erdrick , or anybody , for that matter. If you don't believe me ... Well imagine , if we didn't knew about Joker :
Who would have tried to connect the Jack codename to Joker ? Or not someone like Raiden , Jak & Daxter , Handsome Jak ? Yeah , not a lot of people.
The reason I believe in the Bear'n'bird isn't this codename , it's because for all the attention they got as of late. Especially from Microsoft themselves.
And the reason I believe Steve will get in with him is because... He would be just as groundbreaking as Banjo and Kazooie , in the Smash fandom. There's also Minecraft dungeons , Minecraft being on the Game pass , and so on.
And also...
I wanna see wholesome fan-art of the duo and Steve together , celebrating. For once in this goddamn speculation cycle , let there be less toxicity and more happiness. Because , every reveal after the August direct (From Isabelle to Joker) have made some fans happy , but also heavily encouraged a BTFO culture for some reasons.
