This is getting me worried.
With all due respect, I'd advise you to take anything LaxChris says with a massive grain of salt, particularly since it legitimately feels like he believes every single leak that he comes across.
I love the Penn meme. I'm stealing it.
You're telling me, I'm tired of being surrounded by literal thinking. I'd take THE CLOUDS and Ridley's Shadow, OOOOO over this.
And even so, Ultimate printed money even before it got released, combine that with additional sales from the current pass and I don't think they'll need to worry about running out of funds for a bit, if willing to take the plunge.I thought we were better than posting LaxChris videos.
If there is another pass, Sakurai will be given additional capital to make it. He might be given less than the first, and we may have to wave goodbye to CGI trailers or as many third-parties or something, but it's not like he has to hope for there being sufficient remnants from the first pass to cobble together something for the second. It's not like Sakurai had enough of a surplus remaining from base to add these five characters, they specifically budgeted for it ahead of time. It doesn't take ten minutes to disprove that, just a cursory knowledge of how development works.
Also, wow it's been a long time since I watched a LaxChris video, I forgot what a grating, shouty voice he had.
I linked a Papa Genos video too.You're telling me, I'm tired of being surrounded by literal thinking. I'd take THE CLOUDS and Ridley's Shadow, OOOOO over this.

If worse comes to worst, they can do an anime trailer every so often, as long as it's fitting for the character.
Well yes, Ultimate has been very profitable, but that doesn't inherently correlate to how much they're going to spend on additional DLC. They may not even make any DLC fighters past the six we know, despite a presumably sizeable market clearly hungry for as much as it can get.And even so, Ultimate printed money even before it got released, combine that with additional sales from the current pass and I don't think they'll need to worry about running out of funds for a bit, if willing to take the plunge.

I'll be honest, I didn't watch the video - but if it has anything to do with the shape of the CSS signifying additional characters, you can toss it immediately. For as long as I can remember people have been making theories out of the CSS parameters, and not one has ever held any water.
Just because Sakurai believes the next Smash will be released 10 years later doesn't mean they'd support this one for that long.
It's not like anyone is claiming another pass doesn't make sense or wouldn't be profitable. It's just that Nintendo doesn't seem to care about that kind of stuff sometimes with DLC, so no one can say for sure.
It's not like they can't break some habits, either. Every Smash so far has broken at least a few seemingly established patterns. It isn't over until Sakurai explicitly says it's over.
. I bring this up here because this could be an opportunity to have Banjo-Kazooie in another platform fighting game.It's only more DLC characters if you include veterans. Smash 4 had Ryu, Cloud, Bayonetta and Corrin as well as three veterans (two of which were clones). Smash Ultimate has Pirahna Plant and the 5 Fighter Pass characters in addition to bringing back all the small-fry characters. Ultimate has way more newcomers in DLC and no more "small fry"/low-effort characters to make up the numbers short of an Echo Pass update.
Huh. Well, never mind.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t. Nintendo has literally let franchises lay dormant because they can’t think of what to do with them anymore. Best example being F-Zero.
I'll never stop finding this phrase funny. It's up there with "there are no more rules to break".
Not really. If you’ve been here since preBrawl, you’ve grown used to all the fan favorite picks. Banjo was the “never ever” dream pick for pretty much everyone. Even Geno felt like he had a better shot. Banjo is Sonic tier in terms of how impossible it seemed at the time, same for Cloud. And now both are in.
Sora
Or MineCraft Steve, or Master Chief, or former Sony characters, or Sora, or a character who doesn't exist yet but will become immensely popular in future, or....
I would prefer Raymond Reddington honestly.
They already have proof that being already represented isn't good enough. The ballot caused characters represented by assist trophies, a final smash, a boss battle, an alt, and just plain old trophies to get promoted. And I do believe there are still rules to be broken:
Not entirely true. There are still a wealth of obscure characters that can be supported and still manage to surprise people by virtue of seemingly being completely impossible. The Internet will still explode no matter what happens.
Let's not forget about.
Easy, bring in game modes that people will be happy with and WON'T get cut for no apparent reason other than keeping things from becoming stale. Just see Krazy's lament here:
If it were to happen I think a Mortal Kombat character like Scorpion or Sub-Zero from the MK1, 2, or UMK3 while having the other MK ninjas as color references (perfectly fits the amount of color slots) would be pretty hype. Hell, I would even take Shang Tsung or Goro.
My most wanted costumes to come with B-K are Rash Mii Brawler, Mumbo and Conker Swordfighters, and a Jet Force Gemini Mii Gunner. The Gunner costume can have two options: Juno for Male and Vela for female.
Yes. I mean, those who saw my list of icons before it broke and paid attention to my posts would know that there's no shortage of characters that would excite me to some degree.
The JFG, who are also a no-brainer.
Yes! Now it'll be easier to support her, but there's still that supposed "needs more than one game" obstacle.
Well, I predict Minecraft costumes. Like a Steve Swordfighter costume or a Creeper hat.
A fulgore brawler outfit would be dope
