Great...because the Smash community just needed to be more on fire than it already is.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony.

Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

what was fire theory? I feel like I've heard of it, just can't pinpoint to what it was exactly.

I can't believe Fire theory is ****ing dead

A joke theory based on how Min Min's dragon ARMS and Steve's down tilt involve fire.

It was a joke theory I made that every character would use fire.


It was a ****post I made after Min Min came out, but then the following 3 all used fire and I started getting worried lol

 

[N3ON]

hope this means cinderace stays off the pitch

 

[Icedragonadam]

Wonder if Pyra & Mythra will be in this tourney. Pyra is fire themed, but not Mythra, but maybe if they're in it, it will mean that we can actually see a potential tourney like a girls tourney if they fixed the issue for that potential event.

Not to mention Sephiroth’s flares and Pyra in general.

 

[Gengar84]

This might sound stupid but would you say that this tournament means we likely won’t get a fire based character as either of the last two?

 

[Icedragonadam]

Then Sol is unfortunate out as well.

 

[Noipoi]

Then Sol is unfortunate out as well.

I don’t think the theory holds any true weight.

with all the fire users already on the roster, I doubt we were getting more anyway

I'm not sure the tournaments hold that much weight when it comes to deconfirms unless they're heavily advertised (Which this one isn't). Apparently we got a villains tourney a good while before Sephiroth, and I think a 90's tournament as well. I think the vast majority of these events are just quick things the devs tossed together to give people just a little more incentive to play.

I’d first need to know who at Nintendo or Namco picks the themes for the tournaments. Are they people at high enough of a position to know who the remaining characters are? (Even if they are, they may not care that much.)

True, although with The Heros vs villains tourney, that was way back in August 2019 during Volume 1 while Sephiroth came a year and a half later in December 2020.

People are actually taking Fire Theory seriously now

I do not think tourneys are a reliable science for predicting characters, but the closer we get to a character reveal, the more you would wonder if the tourneys within earlier proximity would avoid overlap. I.e. would we get a villain tournament the week before a villain is revealed?

Maybe. But I could see a reason why they wouldn't do that. Guess we'll see.

You had a good run, buddy.

If it makes you feel better, Euden has plenty of flame attacks.

 

[perfectchaos83]

Regardless of how you take this tourney to mean anything, I never thought Cinderace (or any Gen 8 Pokemon) was likely to begin with

Does anyone think a playable Indie fighter is still possible?

Since 2018 I've always hinged my bets on the first playable indie being either Shantae or Reimu.

Tournaments for light and speedy fighters happened before Mythra, but she wouldn't have been allowed in them because of Pyra's stats. So a fighter that uses A fire move could still happen, they just won't be something like a fire-type Pokemon.

 

[Yacobo]

First indie character is going to be Sans in smash 6 imo.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking as well. If we were getting Scorpion, for example, why not wait a week or two until he’s out before making the fire tournament.

Everyone gangsta til the Fire Tourney shows up


Anyway


I just wanna meme


Ahem


"MY PRECIOUS FIRE THEORY, GONE FOREVER!"

 

[N3ON]

I also think the first indie character isn't happening until next time. I think the ones that had the best chances are all accounted for already.

Now all we have is Horny Theory and Neutral B Projectile theory.

Luckily, neither of those have flaws, right?

Gex applies to both.

Trying with your last breath to keep Fire Theory alive, I see?

We still need the next FE newcomer to be revealed at E3 before that Tournament.

I was about to reply ironically, then I remembered... that scene... from Gex 3.
