You all know the spirit/tournament event is probably just going to be shown at midnight or sometime later again with no reason for the delay in announcement. I want Toxtricity as much as the rest of y'all do but the Pokemon presents has a 99.99% of not including anything Smash.

Like I said before, I'm extremely certain that Sakurai would retweet the Direct.


That, and soft-confirming a character outside of a General Direct or major event like E3/TGA is unheard of. You wouldn't be targeting Smash's audience at all doing it like this.

i don't really think it's happening, it was mostly a meme.

Is it? We've never had DLC items before, be it Smash 4 or Ultimate.

For what it's worth, we know they're physically capable of doing it if need be. Banjo's grenade is treated as an item and was added post-release.

Really, so I can talk about my weird feeling that Goku is the last character?

Joke, I've made before, but I can only see Goku if Sakurai really is done making Smash games.

Basically tossing a grenade as he leaves the room and leaving the next guy to deal with the mess.

Smash fans be like "God I hope we get some Assist Trophy promotions, I'm sick of these anime swordsmen" thinking they'll get this:

when if that happens they'll probably get this:

I agree, the best timeline is obviously the one where we get Black Knight.

I wouldn't turn down an Ike echo.

With the amount of people wanting Dixie and Black Knight as Echoes to Diddy and Ike, I better not see any frickin' complaints about Blaziken being suggested as an Echo Fighter for Captain Falcon.

Well you're gonna. Because echoes/clones should always be from the same franchise as the character they're cloned from.

Pokémon presentations rarely feature anything outside content from actual Pokémon games.

Even if the last character is a Pokémon, I'd be more inclined to believe they'd announce the character literally a day after a huge Pokémon presentation rather than in the presentation itself.

You're moving the goalposts, hard, but that's frankly not surprising considering the track record of:


October: Steve took all the budget, rest of the pass will be low key

December: Steve AND Sephiroth took all the budget, rest of pass will be low key

June: Steve, Sephiroth, AND Kazuya took all the budget



There's nothing saying that the last character will be 3rd party, but nothing saying they won't be 1st either. There's nothing saying if they're 3rd party that they'll be big, but also saying there's nothing saying they'll be small either.


I swear I've seen you disparage fan rules dozens of times in the pass, and yet, you keep making them every time we get a new character revealed.

You forgot Min Min being evidence that FP2 is low budget and won't have any big third party names which was used to discredit medium level IPs

Also to go back to the Black Knight talk, there's our second Sonic character

So now that I've done all the Fighter Pack concepts that I'm gonna do for this round of speculation, I decided to look back at them all and give my thoughts:

All in all I think the general gist of it is that they're all really interesting concepts, but they needed to be more well thought out for the execution to be easier to picture in action among other things. Perhaps I'll redo these somewhere down the line (definitely not in the near future). They were a blast to make, and I hope you guys enjoyed them as well.

Forgive my ignorance but coud I request you to add the game from which each one comes from? To search a bit about some of them that I cant recognize.

It didn't occur to me since the original essays all specify the series/games and they're all linked in my signature, but I put in the series as requested. The only lesser known character around here who's series has more than one game in it is Rytlock, who is from Guild Wars 2 specifically.

EDIT: Also you are in no way ignorant for not knowing some of these characters.
EDIT EDIT: I feel it's worth mentioning that if ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal sounds interesting to you, it is on Steam, but you'll also have to install a 3rd party software (dgvoodo) in order to get the UI to work properly, as Steam made 0 effort to get the game to work on modern systems. It's still "playable" without it, but trust me, playing the game with it's outdated graphics language is a painful experience.

I find it funny that the smash bros Twitter page hasn’t even posted anything about the event yet and we had to find out through the game instead. Any bets on how long they’ll go before telling us about the new event. I’ll give it about a day before they randomly tell us about the event being out.

It was the same with the Mario Golf: Super Rush spirits, the Twitter post came pretty last minute, the same probably happens here. While two times doesn't make a pattern, I wonder if it's a deliberate choice to announce them a bit later from now on.

I don't think this anything to get worked up over. Stuff like this can get unused all the time in game development and updates.

Agreed, the missing events may just never show up and were just scrapped for one reason or another.

Can we take a moment to apreciate how the live-chat for the Pokemon Presents has been disabled? They know exactly what kind of fanbase they're dealing with lmao.
