Very very happy with this smash choice. My brother and I yelled when we saw him. Couldn’t ask for a better reveal and an amazing direct. So many cool things in this one!

Opps I missed that. My BadYeah literally in that post I say MCC is likelier.
Bro put me in Kazuya's arms because I wanna be thrown off a freaking cliff right now this sucksAs a longtime fan of both games, it would be amazing to have a Chief/Smash announce today. Nothing is happening that I'm aware of, but maybe momentum this week can open a door. If you agree, maybe we can *politely* express our excitement to @XboxP3 and @thetruebowser 🙏

I looked back on the last several pages since the tread opened back up and haven't seen this get mentioned.
Take it as you will but this could potentially be the end of Master Chief.
Yakuza collection coming to Switch confirmed!Just realized "Kazuya" is an anagram of "yakuza."
I feel like I just completed a rite of passage for Tekken fans without actually being a Tekken fan. Does anyone know if this was intentional?
Apparently this guy is the community director? I'll have to double-check that, though. Dunno how much info he'd be given in that case, either.As a longtime fan of both games, it would be amazing to have a Chief/Smash announce today.

Yup, they’re treading water with the remakes first. If there’s a lot of success we could see a reawakening of the series like with Fire Emblem….. Awakening. (Unintentional pun)Big moves for WayForward, working on a Nintendo IP.
Big moves for Advance Wars, being not dead.
If enough of you buy the game, a new title might be on the table. And then we're in character territory.
DId vergeben talk about Prime 5, or was that just the dataminersIn regards to Vergeben and his increasingly crumbling credibility and reputation, I don't think he can even claim to be the first one to have called Metroid 5, because fans had been speculating that it's been happening ever since the freaking release of Samus Returns.
He posted it on Reddit same time as he said Chief in Smash.DId vergeben talk about Metroid 5, or was that just the dataminers
I don't think he ever uttered a word about Prime 4 or Samus Returns before their official announcement back in June 13 2017.DId vergeben talk about Prime 5, or was that just the dataminers
he ALSO said new DK titleHe posted it on Reddit same time as he said Chief in Smash.
Ironically I do think Verg was first on public record for Dread (this game, not the DS one)In regards to Vergeben and his increasingly crumbling credibility and reputation, I don't think he can even claim to be the first one to have called Metroid 5, because fans had been speculating that it's been happening ever since the freaking release of Samus Returns.
Well, Metroid Dread was first mentioned back in 2005:In regards to Vergeben and his increasingly crumbling credibility and reputation, I don't think he can even claim to be the first one to have called Metroid 5, because fans had been speculating that it's been happening ever since the freaking release of Samus Returns.
Some expected announcements were missing from the Nintendo Direct today, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Proof? Metroid Dread, which was first reported by the media *16 years ago*, was finally confirmed today as having been in development back then. pic.twitter.com/hkAZ0tKbmq

There's a metaphor here, I just know it.he ALSO said new DK title
what a big load of Hoopa that was
The issue is he put all his eggs in one basket, which was a leak which said that the last 2 characters were the 4 Champions from BotW and MC.Im not completely aware of the situation, but I gather vergeben apparently “leaked” master chief.
I could care less if he is right or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being right for the last character reveal. However, people also gave him crap about being wrong about Minecraft content, and in the end he was right.
Personally I think Nintendo is holding on to content, and is strategically releasing it. Master Chief has plenty of prime opportunities to pop up if you consider the following possibly happening:
1.Halo infinite still doesn’t have a release date, Smash definitely likes ending its reveals on current/relevant characters. Maybe it promotes longevity or something.
People will be talking about Halo for sure.
2. Rumored Game Pass coming to Switch. A new app like this would probably be announced with the new switch variant. If this is true, the halo series is gonna be emphasized along with a Chief reveal.
I’d prefer Sora, but master Chief does add a completely different play style to work with.
I can see more characters coming, if the sales of dlc warrant it, I could see investors pushing it regardless of Sakurais involvement.
A big load? Must have been the unbound form.he ALSO said new DK title
what a big load of Hoopa that was
All...four of them?The issue is he put all his eggs in one basket, which was a leak which said that the last 2 characters were the 4 Champions from BotW and MC.
Hoo boy, how long have you been gone for? All 4 champs in one slot was like, the most infamous "leak" for the last 2-3 days.A big load? Must have been the unbound form.
All...four of them?
Uh...Since February I think?Hoo boy, how long have you been gone for?
Welp, lol.Uh...Since February I think?
Haha! It's been years since the original, but we finally got the Grinch Leak 2.0 we never asked for!Welp, lol.
Yeah, it was a real infamous leak simply because it sounded dumb as hell, but it snowballed out of control due to a bunch of small things.
To give you a timeline of events:
Gamefaqs "leak" pops up saying the 4 Champs are CP10, Rayman is CP11 > Arlo makes a speculation video, his Smash prediction is the 4 Champs, his wish is Rayman > Imran Khan talks about the story of BotW, mentions the champs, then uses the term "Smash cut"(Which, is a movie term, it meant literally nothing but people went nuts) > The day before E3, Gamexplain uploaded a video of a potential 4-in-1 4 Champs moveset.
It was an insane amount of coincidences all happening in a short time period.
Even a sort of assist style gimmick would be strange and/or convoluted....There's a reason many of us dismissed the BOTW Champion idea. There's no way 4 in 1 was ever going to happen.
Especially as they're not remotely similar to each other. Pyra & Mythra showed that semi-clones being tied together aren't that bad for DLC. It even gave me a little hope for Agumon(since Greymon actually has similar fighting abilities to Agumon. Only MetalGreymon sticks out), but then Kazuya happened. Either way, I'd imagine trying to have a three character in one who are clearly still a bit different(you could argue Pyra & Mythra are regular clones, not semis) where a lot of stuff is fairly unique(though body design-wise, Pokemon Trainer is still more unique) would be too much anyway. Since it'd clearly require more work than the Xenoblade duo. So... not surprised. I consider Agumon plausible for next base game, though(or even later DLC).
On another note, how similar is Heihachi to Kazuya gameplay-wise? An interesting thought for next game, as he could be an Echo for Kazuya, but I don't know if they're close to similar enough to justify it. Bodyshape they look similar to me, but only at a glance.
Originally, Heihachi was just Kazuya with some Paul moves added. Similarly, Jin was just Kazuya with some Jun moves added in Tekken 3. In later games, both characters became more diverse, but Heihachi kept moves that are considered Mishima staples.On another note, how similar is Heihachi to Kazuya gameplay-wise?

I mean if it's a port with a couple of stuff added in of a relatively recently released game anyway (that doesn't even need my sale to be successful) like NSMBU Deluxe, I personally wouldn't be interested, but in these cases they're full on remakes of a series that hasn't been around in over a decade (like FDC), and this is the first chance in said decade the creators are giving the series a chance, so.....On one hand, I want to support the series and see it come back from the dead.
On the other, 60 bucks for 2 remakes.

Fiiiine
Not the first time Heihachi's VA dies though, previous ones have been replaced. Also they could have reused voiceclips like they did in that KoF mobile game a while ago.Anyway
I've seen some people ask "Why not Heihachi", and tbh, I think it's really simple.
It's not because of the Mii outfit.
His voice actor(Which is Incineroar's as well iirc), died, and afaik, they don't want to replace him(iirc).
So yeah, Hades was advertised for Japan on the Direct, and with Epicmartin's color coded math **** being right about red with green apparently being next...I was looking at twitter earlier and saw some stuff around the Japanese feed of this Direct that didn't air on the Western version. The games in question are the following:
-Super Robot Wars 30
-Ender Lilies
-Caligula 2
-Legend of Mana
-Samurai Warriors 5
-Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 4th Heart
-PowerPro-kun Pocket R
-Cave Shmup
-Hades
-Sky
-a Baseball game
-Shin-chan
-NEO TWEWY (paging Rie)
-Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
A great amount of these games are centric towards Japan, but Hades is interesting to see since it looks like it's officially releasing in Japanese. It sure makes me think.
I mean, Capcom wasn't exactly out when it was mostly just the Megaman, Monster Hunter and Arthur outfits. The likes of Dante, Morrigan, Amaterasu, etc, were still viable, even if unlikely.
General vibe of the post Kazuya world.
While Hades would be very cool, i think the game is just too new. Sakurai wouldn't have even known of the game till he was already working on FP2Thread is back, so I just wanna share this post I made on the E3 thread for fun:

1 could hope.
Kazuya's moveset isn't any less complex. In fact his devil form arguably made him more complex to make.I figured, VA problems aside, that Heihachi's moveset was way too complex to figure out and opted for Kazuya instead.
