"Please wait and let your imagination run wild."

They're hyping us, it's clearly Kratos.

Jokes aside, it seems to me that they are over hyping the identity of the character

GOKU

IT'S ****ING GOKU

 

[Michael the Spikester]

"Imagination run wild"

Honestly I'm not sure tbh...Dayum Sakurai has me beat.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Protoman would be my ideal choice for Mega Man's echo. Though Bass and Roll are legit options.

I'd prefer Bass because villain and Super Mario Crossover.

GOKU

IT'S ****ING GOKU

Goku is kinda wild like he is half monkey and he has imagination sakurai broke another fanrule and we're getting spiderman next

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Frisk
Neku
Sora

All the ones I can really think honestly that could be a hint to the last fighter.

And most likely I'm 100% wrong.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Frisk
Neku
Sora

Isn’t Frisk’s thing determination, not imagination?

How?

How does Imagination = Frisk.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Could Maxwell count because anything he draws becomes real, that's basically imagination.

 

[Trevenant]

By "let your imagination wild" they were probably looking behind themselves and tried to find a good way to describe the Nintendo execs behind them jumping off chairs, clipping their ties to their collars and ****ing swinging off the lights cos they can't wait for the revenue they're gonna get on Tuesday for some plug character lol

 

[N3ON]

Nintendo just rolls up, throws tinder on the already open flame and bounces hey

Thanks Nintendo, very cool

 

[Þe 1 → Way]

Guys, guys. Isn’t it obvious who imagination is referring to? Its the same reason the presentation is on October 5th.

Hes in.

(Kinda surprised this hasn’t been posted yet, unless I’m blinded by more than bias that is)

 

[TheCJBrine]

How?

Hopes and Dreams

We’re getting ASRIEL!

2 Days left, they don’t give a **** anymore lol

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Somebody quick and try to think of as many characters as possible that involves around the word "imagination"!

 

[subterrestrial]

Imagination theory + Nick Brawls release both point to SpongeBob SquarePants being the Last DLC Character.

Ok got ‘d but I’m glad SpongeBob and imagination itself are inexplicably linked in all of our heads

 

[7NATOR]

I'm gonna be honest, If the Main thing to pay attention is the Imagination part, I have to give it to Sora. Disney is like one of the Main things people might think about when it comes to Imagination, and Kingdom Hearts represents that to a T

If the Main part to pay attention is the "Run Wild" part, then my guess would actually be Shadow the Hedgehog, because Sonic is about Running and Chaos is pretty Wild

There's also Neku though and one of his powers is called "imagination". Never played TWEWY though so don't know how it works.

 

[MBRedboy31]

Just saying, but, wouldn’t the best way to let the player’s imagination run wild be a new create-a-character? Either a new Mii class or something else entirely.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Imagination… imaginators
Skylanders Imaginators
Crash was in that game
And so was (typically) Spyro and Gill Grunt

Guys I cracked the code thank me later

 

[cashregister9]

Imagination?

This was not the Disney Rep I expected

Spoiler: Context

 

[Warumian]

Maybe Sakurai introduced himself to the game and has all the moves from every character so you have to customize Sakurai and that let's your imagination run wild.

 

[ARandomZoomer]

Imagination? Wild?
The last pack is literally everything. When they said "Everyone is here!" They ****ing meant it!

 

[ryuryunonoroi]

Well, as everything rounds out for the final fighter we at least get one more great Smash Ultimate meme with the new "Who the hell are you?" line.

People seem to be taking "let your imagination run wild" as a clue to the nature of the final character but I'm not so sure. I honestly think that this is more a clue to mean that this may be a character that isn't on many people's radar and that few are expecting. Maybe not necessarily big, but at the very least very surprising and something special.

 

[Noipoi]

Imagination?

Spoiler: Context

That’s just Spyro you can’t trick me

 

[PSIGuy]

Actually, thinking on it, "let your imagination run wild" could just as easily mean the character is -small-, like your most wanted from an underappreciated franchise. You'd need a pretty active imagination to get your hopes up for Sgt Cortez or Quote.

 

[Icedragonadam]

Took a break for a while since I wasn't interested in Smash speculation was tiring.

But if we're looking into Sakurai's word's.

For imagination running wild, the name Yuri while mainly associated with lilies: can also mean Abundant Ideals in Japanese. And the last character is most likely going to have a purple background as it's the 2nd most common color used before green counting both games's DLC.

But i just don't know anymore. It could be anyone at this point.

 

[Ivander]

So just to ask, can the sentence with imagination also be used for something else in Japanese? Cause for some reason, I remembered that in Japanese, some words are also used for something else, since that tends to be part of the jokes in Japanese and when I checked the Japanese word for imagination, it gave me "sozo" or 想像. Supposedly, it also means "guess". And supposedly, the first Kanji is also used for, "idea, thought, concept, think" and the 2nd Kanji is also used for "statue, figure, picture, image".
I didn't find a site that gave me other meanings or play-on-words sorta deal, but there is apparently two other ways to spell "sozo" in Japanese.
The first was 塑像, which is apparently used for "clay figures" or "plastic image".
The second was 塑造,, which is apparently used for "molding" or "modeling".

I honestly do not know if any of that is accurate. An expert on Japanese would be greatly appreciated for clarification and possibly if there could be a play on words in the Japanese text.

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

Let your imagination run wild....

Maybe imagination isn't the word were should be looking at. What if it is Wild?

 

[FreeFox]

My imagination is a pretty scary place. I would rather not delve too deeply there.

 

[FriskyFritter]

If imagination is really any sort of hint, I really think it's unfortunately Jonesy.

 

[Slime Scholar]

Kinda doubt "imagination" is meant to have any double meaning here.

It's even less worthwhile to pick apart the rest of the translation. "Run wild" isn't even used in Japanese.

If the Main part to pay attention is the "Run Wild" part, then my guess would actually be Shadow the Hedgehog

 

[cashregister9]

What if it is Wild

This is pretty wild

This joke is bad

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

This is pretty wild

This joke is bad

And this is very imaginative

 

[Icedragonadam]

Well there's a more obvious answer as to what the clues point to.

Spoiler

 

[Stepheon]

If imagination is really any sort of hint, I really think it's unfortunately Jonesy.

Please God, no.

 

[BlondeLombax]

I hate to say this but I can’t deny it
If it’s someone that might get a lot of negative reception, they would get mad at Nintendo and Sora Ltd for “”overhyping”” the character

I feel like it's been done before, but that may be the Mandela Effect being beaten into me by the excess salt from this whole cycle...

 

[SneakyLink]

Imagination huh?

We're getting Lord Vortech from Lego Dimensions as the final fighter. Because that game's tagline was "You're gonna need a bigger imagination!"

Note: I'm not actually serious here. I actually don't know any game characters who could use imagination other than maybe Maxwell from Scribblenauts?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Two days remain...

Up next.
