It was never even framed as a theory, just an observation that Smash typically cares more about oldschool stuff, Smash Puppy simply said they feel Bomberman would have the same treatment, this rebuttal of yours isn't even good because Pup already acknowledged your counterarguments before you even read their post lmao
I read the post, I just felt like pointing it out. No need to be a pain in my neck, OK?
Pretty much. It's why it always comes off kind of silly from the outside looking in whenever there's a new reveal and the Smash speculation gang on just about every board or social media site gets blown away by the pick. It's not the worst thing that Smash fans don't know everything about every series but it does get kinda goofy when they're so wrapped up in their own self-imposed mindgames that they can't even imagine that a character (that they may have already ruled out because PATTERNS) had a huge fanbase that just wasn't bothering to make themselves known in their own little world. It's happened before, and it'll happen again and again.
Which is a shame. The way I envision Frogger, is very Looney Tunes and evasive. For one attack, he would jump on another character's head- and as a giant truck comes for him, he hops off, making that truck hit only the character he had prior landed upon. For another, He hops across the teeth of crocodiles- up to three. As he makes his way across, it leaves three crocodiles behind him who are about to Snap (either by time or trigger) on anyone who crosses their path.
I'd go as far as to say- it has happened with every character.
I'm going to springboard off of this and say that I hope they don't do that because the Bomberman 64 styled games have a ton of neat ideas that could either be used in his moveset, or just for flavor on the stage. And of course, there's probably a ton of music that they could bring (granted, the original Bomberman would likely not have enough for a good tracklist, but that wouldn't stop them from just using that game and Bomberman R for the music, or just sticking it in the "other" category).
I absolutely thought you had me blocked (ha). Nice to know.
How could they do a classic Bomberman stage, that feels like a classic Bomberman stage, and make it 3D?
| Series: | Songs: |
| Mega Man | Many original and remixed songs |
| Mega Man X | 1 remixed song and 1 original song |
| Mega Man Zero/ZX | 1 unremixed song (which is in and of itself a remix of an X song) |
| Mega Man Legends | No songs |
| Mega Man Battle Network | No songs |
| Mega Man Star Force | 1 unremixed song |
I asked earlier but I didn't really get an answer though it's probably because I worded it poorly, what does Bomberman really have beyond the classic stuff everyone knows, the gritty reboot and the 64 game?
They could've at least given us the other FF protagonists...
TIL Lara was on the Game Boy Color
Yes there’s ALOT of revisionist history in the smash community, and it’s solely to justify the narrative that the ENTIRE community is always wrong in their predictions. it’s kinda weird imo bc smash reveals aren’t that difficult to predict if u pay attention:
Bruh that was a joke, Sakurai probably didn't even know when he'd work on Smash after wrapping up 4's base game when he wrote that line

signature keep expanding lol
I had to refresh my memory with Wikipedia, but there are two Bomberman 64 games, Bomber Man Hero (which I think is just like Bomberman 64), a whole bunch of Bomberman Land titles (minigame collections it seems), and a whole lot of games that are classic Bomberman, but with some sort of bell or whistle.
Yes.Here's a fun question:
Do any of you think the final fighter might be a character that's been disregarded in speculation due to a preconceived notion that they're disconfirmed?
I ask because part of me wants to see

it wasn't just a joke, it was obviously also foreshadowing. Sakurai even explained why he chose robin over chrom on his famitsu column

No see what you’re doing is exactly my point. Things are always obvious in hindsight, but in the muck of it where dozens of characters have merit it’s hard to achieve the single-handed focus that hindsight hecklers demand of the community. Everyone had merit upfront, but once the first dozen of meritful characters are deconfirmed, the one that made it have the merit they had rewritten to be the most obvious ever.
Bro I don't know how I'm supposed to explain that you can't foreshadow something you don't even know you're going to make, the joke was that it wasn't Chrom, that's it. Hell, take a look at thisit wasn't just a joke, it was obviously also foreshadowing. Sakurai even explained why he chose robin over chrom on his famitsu column

bro its not just hindsight; people predict correctly sometimes is it that hard to believe? there's literally millions of brains speculating someone is bound to eventually figure it out
Byleth was done as a joke for "Man wouldn't it be horrible to get more Fire Emblem?" With Edelgard being considered the most likely choice with the idea of Byleth using elements from all 3 Houseleaders being scoffed at. Rex was the one considered likely that people couldn't shut up about with the idea of Pythra without Rex being deemed too OoC to even consider for longer than a few seconds. Last I checked, having people shoot you down doesn't make you obvious
people correctly predicted chrom due to the foreshadowing "nah it was just a joke"
Yes, and those million minds all have different, equally viable evidence and ways to discern the next character. I personally figured that if clones were to return, Daisy would be first in line thanks to inane conspiracies, but I still wouldn’t bet on her when Paper Mario came off the heels of a new game and was popular and Captain Toad came out of a very succesful WiiU era as well. My point is that there’s many characters that would make sense in hindsight, but due to constraints only a few actually do live to see the day and these constrains are more related to “It’d make for shoddy and nihilistic speculation if everyone held everyone as equally possible”, especially when even someone as obiqutously in the back-of-the-mind as Steve was gets revisioned as someone seen as impossible or not predicted. It’s not a failure of the community that they don’t add the clause “well of course it could be anyone” at the end of each post just to be immune from hindsight hecklers.
And Chrom, Robin, and Lucina. Thank goodness Fire Emblem got good again after fates and awakening. I'd trade all four of them for another Tellius duology character.
The Chrom example is a literal joke, Sakurai did not deliberately put it in to tease what would come 4 years later but to joke about how he scrapped Chrom and everyone expected Chrom.
Probably to some degree. What I remember was that Byleth or a 3 Houses character was on the prediction list. But it was for Fighters Pass 2 that more people were expecting a 3 Houses character, not the end of Fighters Pass 1. Meanwhile, Pyra and Mythra were absolutely expected after Min-Min. But most I saw were expecting them to be with Rex rather than by themselves because Xenoblade 2 gameplay. And as we found out during their presentation, Rex was planned, but they took him out to just have Pyra & Mythra by themselves because the Ice Climbers' gameplay was hard enough to do as is.
Wat
It wasn't foreshadowing hun, the Ultimate roster wasn't being made in 2013 or 2014 or whenever they cobbled the Robin/Lucina trailer together. Not the least of which is because Chrom is based mostly on a character that wasn't even in Smash 4 at that point.
