Hello fellow Smashers. While posting my support for Lloyd in his support thread, I came across an interesting theory I call "The Costume Theory." (Hey! Box Theory was right! Eh?)
The theory is that all of the Mii costumes that were cut from Smash Wii U / 3DS will return, and they will be piggybacking off of new fighters from the company that owns the Mii Costume.
Joker is owned by Atlus, which is owned by Sega. So when Joker came to Smash, the Tails and Knuckles costumes were added.
Erdrick is extremely likely if you follow Smash speculation, and I'm willing to bet that he will come with Mii Costumes of Chokono and Geno.
If this pattern continues, then we can speculate that Capcom and Bandai-Namco are also getting DLC characters that will release with Mii costumes of X, Zero, Protoman, Heihachi, Jin, and Lloyd.
Based on this speculation, here is my official DLC lineup prediction:
1. Joker (duh)
2. Erdrick
3. Heihachi or Lloyd (leaning toward Heihachi, as Sakurai publicly stated that Heihachi was considered for Smash 4)
4. Dante
5. Banjo-Kazooie
The fifth slot is just my guess based on how I think the Fighter Ballot went. I also considered Crash Bandicoot, Rayman, and Ryu Hayabusa.
Ryu Hayabusa would make sense due to Fatal Frame having an Assist Trophy, and Koei-Tecmo might throw in Ryu as a fighter.
Crash Bandicoot is a popular choice, but I honestly see him and Spyro together as a DLC pack either in a second Fighter Pass or standalone DLC like Piranha Plant.
I chose Banjo over Rayman, because all 5 of these fighters I speculated upon do not have Spirits; Rayman does. But I still believe a second Fighter Pass is coming, and Rayman can still have a shot.
So there you have it. The Costume Theory. I explained my thought process, and I hope you all appreciate the speculation.
My biggest doubt, however, is that we didn't get our Akira and Jackie outfits from Virtua Fighter, which is owned by Sega.
Happy posting!
