Since that's a mon from Gen 1, having assets from Let's Go probably helps. There's also a mod that fixes the infamous N64 tree: https://gamebanana.com/textures/5654
Definitely, and I wouldn't hate it, but I would like to see another Pokemon get added for reasons Incineroar didn't, like popularity that definitely exists instead of probably.
And I want a Pokemon other than a starter getting in, so the fans don't fall into the mindset that only starters have a chance of getting in.

This is quite interesting... Of course, it was easy to assume that Gen 8 wasn't on the DLC Radar (for Season 2) in the first place due to releasing in the middle of November, but still. It also makes me raise an eyebrow at the fact that Astral Chain didn't get any Spirit Event when it released (Yet Daemon X Machina did). Hmm...
Given how Corrin got in relatively easy during Smash 4's DLC cycle, Gen 8 should've been well within the timeframe for post-pass DLC.
It's worth mentioning that we've reason to believe Corrin was locked in some time between April and June of 2015, as the mid-June update that year (with Lucas, Roy, and Ryu) was the one that added the placeholder data that was eventually used by Corrin. Since Fire Emblem Fates released in Japan in June of that year, it means they gave the all clear on Corrin at a point where Corrin's debut game had either finished development or was very close. So it's actually a very different situation, potentially!
Depends on when they greenlit the additional fighters. All we know is that the sales of the current pass convinced Nintendo to up the budget, so that could potentially be as late as June 2019. Even if we assume the decision was made at the absolute earliest possible date (November 2018), that would still place it exactly one year away from SwSh, meaning that development for the games should've been in the late stages by then.
This is an argument we go back and forth on.
Never argued that a Sword and Shield could be Fighter #5. I'm just saying that there's very little reason to believe the games weren't able to be considered for anything after, like Fighter #6 and so on.
Well, the chances of a Nintendo character being the last Fighter Pass character is seemingly much more likely. Lots of characters and series that people have thought were front runners ended up being disconfirmed by either Vergeben or even Nintendo themselves, and there don’t seem to be many choices left.
Well, there's only Capcom and double dipping in Sega, SE, and Microsoft left that I can think of.
I am very much hoping we get some sort of announcement. I've seen people here and there on other sites say an announcement is "guaranteed" which, unless I've missed something recently, isn't the case, although on the other hand, The Game Awards would be the perfect place for the announcement of the final Pack 1 Fighter.
Once again, the radio silence at times absolutely sucks. Aside from that though, the DLC has been handled really well. The patches are pretty good and the DLC releases are very consistent (way more than Smash 4's DLC releases, that's for sure). Not to mention those Sakurai videos they've been doing since Hero are cute.
The only things that are ''hinting'' at an announcement is the Game Awards twitter reminding us of Joker's Reveal and a comment from Sakurai at the Smash Tournament in Japan saying that he came from finishing work on a character.
Seems the most likely outcome at this point, but we should also consider possible alternatives. Best not to put all of our eggs in one basket, so to speak.
I don't believe Vergben has said anything in months, actually. It's been Sabi and whoever his sources are that've been ruling out characters for Fighter #5.
Verge recently said that FP5 is not from Namco Bandai or Level 5.
Can you verify that? I haven't heard of it anywhere else so far. Are you sure it's not just hearsay?
If we're to believe everything insiders are saying. Fighter #5 is not...
And according to Sabi today, add Sora onto that list.
To be absolutely sure...are all of those companies ruled out? Has Capcom as a whole been deconfirmed for Fighter #5, or just Dante? Has all of Bethesda, or just Doomguy? We want to be certain we're understanding the actual picture here and not just a skewed version created from people in the community playing telephone and getting the message misconstrued.
Well, unfortunately, Vergeben’s come and ruled out almost everyone.
"It being a Nintendo character" could possibly mean that it still falls under the Pokemon/Itoi/HAL/Intelligent Systems/Monolith copyrights (would Waluigi/Isaac need a Camelot copyright if they somehow happened?), but at this point I expect another Joker situation.
Waluigi wouldn’t, but Isaac would since he’s from a Camelot franchise.
That's another possiblity: the source could've been mistaken about which company a certain IP belonged to. For example, if Fighter #5 is, say, Euden from Dragalia Lost, they might've believed it was a Cygames franchise when it's actually a Nintendo-owned one they collaborated with Cygames to make.
Has anyone notable expressed skepticism toward it, or is it just community members in general? The latter tells us nothing, but the former might.
Push Dustin and Jon from GameXplain made follow up tweets regarding it.
Where did Jon say that in particular? I just gave his Twitter a once over, and it seems like the only thing he's said on the matter is expressing frustration over people asking him to corroborate other people's rumors. Did I miss something?
I'd say the leaking of Hero could be imperfect/outdated as well, when they were primarily focusing on Erdrick who turned out to be one of four Heroes playable, and not even the main one.
It might be a mandala effect thing going on here- I remember Jon saying something too, and Sabi responding to it, and I was going bring it up earlier. However, I couldn’t find anything on Twitter so I just dismissed it. Either they deleted the supposed tweets, or more likely, we’re just misremembering things.
This Verge kill-list is basically just nonsense.

If any 'insider' had this much information it would only because they know exactly who fighter 5 is. And if that's the case why not reveal it? Every other DLC character after Joker got leaked by insiders so why not this one? https://t.co/ocdVlxLE5f
Yeah, he followed up yesterday morning's post late in the evening, saying he'd misinterpreted what his source had told him. He'd thought the source was deconfirming every company he asked about, but the only actual deconfirmations were of the characters he asked about by name.
As well as Dante and Sora, not mentioned here but struck down by Sabi's source.
