Sakurai doesn’t like water? I think I know a guy he can turn to.

He drinks Coke Zero instead of water though. No mention of Pepsi Zero either.
No wonder Pepsi man isn’t here yet…He drinks Coke Zero instead of water though. No mention of Pepsi Zero either.
I know, right? Who even drinks Coke Zero? That stuff tastes like anything but actual Coke!I thought we were joking when we called Sakurai a madman. Dude's out here made of 70% Coke Zero.
I didn't expect to see Amiti before the likes of Mia, Piers and Alex, but he's actually a decent shout.Exactly
Some ideas I had even though some of these have a super low chance of happening (besides Gill)
Rain from MK
Sub-Zero from MK
Rylai form Dota 2
Jack Frost from SMT
Glacius from KI
Amiti from Golden Sun
Undine from Tales Of
Gyrados
I really hope he lives relatively long, my heart can’t take another Iwata case of dying young.The more I learn about Sakurai the more I can eventually see him going the way of Howard Hughes lol
I drink Coke Zero, and I can confirm that even without sugar it still tastes like Coca-Cola.I know, right? Who even drinks Coke Zero? That stuff tastes like anything but actual Coke!
We have loved the competition through our online events, but nothing beats live, in-person tournaments between players from around the world.

It has been too long since we have experienced the spirit of the FGC in person together.

By the way, this came out today. Basically confirms EVO 2022 will take play between August 5-7 and will be an in-person event.

I'm sharing it because it might be interesting news for some of you, but also because Smash appears in the video.
So between this and Sony already saying back then EVO was still open to fighting games from other platforms such as Smash or Killer Instinct, if Smash misses EVO 2022 that's going to be Nintendo's decision.
As a regular Coke drinker I can attest that Coke Zero does, in fact, NOT taste like normal Coke. It has a very distinct taste by comparison. Namely, it isn't as sugary tasting for obvious reasons.I drink Coke Zero, and I can confirm that even without sugar it still tastes like Coca-Cola.
No wait. The beginning has to start withI keep watching the pyra and myphra trailer again and again as I’ve gotten used to the dialogue now and the more I watch the ending where they encounter shulk, the more I desperately want shadow In smash because I’d imagine the ending of his trailer would be practically the same as the ending of pyra and myphra’s.
Just change the wording to “that blue hedgehog again of all places” and then it’s perfect.
What? Really. Does that work regardless of what you are eating or where you are? I personally drink different beverages depending on either the context or to compliment what I am eating. I dont drink soda, coffee nor alcohol though so I might be a bit of an oddity myself.I know he said he drinks Coke Zero, but why are people acting like he's drinking it more than anything else besides water? Why are we being certain he doesn't drink juice or milk or whatnot? While I use sparkling water and liquidizers to help with my water intake, the drink I have the most is milk, to the point where my consumption of milk would be comparable to that of some of the heaviest alcohol drinkers.
Really. All the man said was he doesnt like the taste, not that he never drinks water and only drinks coke. I hate the taste of water and drink coffe most of the time but I still drink waterI know he said he drinks Coke Zero, but why are people acting like he's drinking it more than anything else besides water?

this **** had me cracking up FrI know what you meant:
Sakurai: "Here is the last fighter. You arent seeing anything wrong. This is the EA headquarters added as the final fighter. I wasnt sure who to add from EA so Nintendo and I decided to represent them by using the company itself.
You'd be surprised at the level of mental gymnastics it takes to discuss smash speculationWhy would disney ever say no to sora being in smash
I feel like you're replying to something no one has recently said.Why would disney ever say no to sora being in smash
Yeah, if Sakurai were to go the extra mile and include Disney content with Sora, all hell would break loose with the likes of Goku stans flooding Nintendo's inboxes & social media with demands for him to be added to the game. If he winds up being asked about it in the future, I'm certain this is bound to be at least part of Sakurai's response.I feel like Sora is less someone saying no (though there are supposed reports about Disney of Japan saying no, but grain of salt and all that), and more Nintendo/Sakurai feeling like the franchise can't really be done justice without including Disney characters. And even if that's not true for the majority of Disney characters, considering how accurate to their base the DLC have been, Goofy and Donald--maybe even Mickey--would probably have to be somewhere (Spirits, victory animatons, maybe even taunts if they went through with it), and that's a major Disney hurdle, plus the problems with them not being video game characters originally.
Of course, that's all just my opinion/thoughts on the situation.
DLC characters come without what Smash fans deem essential for their franchise's representation all the time.I feel like Sora is less someone saying no (though there are supposed reports about Disney of Japan saying no, but grain of salt and all that), and more Nintendo/Sakurai feeling like the franchise can't really be done justice without including Disney characters.

EveryoneThere are no shoo-ins for the next game.
enough interesting original locations
enough breeds of enemies
or unique moveset potential for Sora
to support a playable Smash inclusion without seemingly shoving Disney content into every single facet.
Good post but Castle of Dreams is the Cinderella world.It's true, unfortunately.
Kingdom Hearts doesn't have enough memorable original characters
enough interesting original locations
enough breeds of enemies
or unique moveset potential for Sora
to support a playable Smash inclusion without seemingly shoving Disney content into every single facet.
After all, the only reason people care about Kingdom Hearts in any capacity is because Disney characters pop up in between the several dozen hours' worth of story, lore, and character building over the course of 10 games and 18 years.
Haven't watched the whole interview just yet, but that's understandable. People already runaway with some of the most ridiculous things Sakurai posts including PLASTIC CHAIRS of all things. Even as early as the days leading up to the release of Brawl you had people making videos speculating things like figures in the clouds in the clouds in the Sub Space Emissary hinting at the appearance of certain villains. If he was even simply photographed with another developer for a franchise unrelated to Smash the internet would explode.Some excerpts from the interview.

Honestly, nearly all of you aside from one other guy are sleeping on Marvelous even though you really shouldn't be. They're a bigger company than most people realize and have been steadily supporting the switch throughout its lifespan thus far.I’m 60% confident the last character will be a new company. Just am. I’m ready to die on that Hill.
Dammit I knew I missed one. Thought that one was a DDD world I forgot about.Good post but Castle of Dreams is the Cinderella world.
I mean, Marvelous doesn't own the rights to Fate, that's Type-Moon, and FGO, their big, BIG money-maker is Sony/Delightworks. If a Fate character got in, that wouldn't be a Marvelous character.Haven't watched the whole interview just yet, but that's understandable.

Sakurai is a master of the soft power play and he's not going to tip his hand very much, if at all. The one thing smash fans should know better by now more than anything else is to expect the unexpected.
If you really want clues to Smash newcomers that badly, perhaps you should be keeping your eyes on developers whose lips are a bit looser.
Someone tell me how to get blurry text spoilers. I don't see the options/instructions.

That's just what I can name off of the top of my head without researching into specifics.
- Deamon X Machina
- Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
- Multiple No More Heroes games
- Two Senran Kagura games
- At least two Story of Seasons games
- At least one Fate game
Plus, they're one of only two third-party publishers which have three separate IPs represented in SSBU (DxM, Sakuna, NMH) yet still don't have an actual fighter on the roster. The other is Ubisoft, as at this point we can probably safely consider Rayman and the Rabbids separate IPs from one another. But if I'm not mistaken, I vaguely recall that Rayman was deconfirmed by something their developers said. Also, unlike Ubisoft, all of Marvelous' representation is post-release. And if they had already gotten three different IPs into the games content it would be logical to assume they would at least try to get a character of theirs on the actual roster.
I actually did post a whole-ass essay about that a few weeks ago. It's more wish fulfillment than anything, but I'm still pretty proud of the points I made.I seriously cannot see Senran Kagura get in for.... various reasons, to put it lightly.
Upon further inspection it seems you're correct about Fate. I must have assumed it was under Marvelous because of XSEED publishing the Switch game, since they are in fact a Marvelous subsidiary.I mean, Marvelous doesn't own the rights to Fate, that's Type-Moon, and FGO, their big, BIG money-maker is Sony/Delightworks. If a Fate character got in, that wouldn't be a Marvelous character.
