With leaks, this is usually just a case of bandwagoning off what's popular to sound plausible, but... Isaac shouldn't be on most of these if that's the case.
I think it is 4chan just messing around. I do believe that Isaac, King K. Rool, Ashley and Elma will get in; however, I cannot shake the feeling that the "leakers" are doing this just to get a rise out of people. Basically a play to their emotions.
Yea, that's true. Though, like you said, I do wonder if these leaks have any truth to them, if all these people are talking about these three characters in particular, I'm kinda thinking that maybe, just Maybe there's a chance that they're based on truth, but you never know.
Yea, I honestly think that maybe one of the leaks about these characters could have been real, and since everyone wants to get popular, they just jump on the bandwagon.
I usually see Bandana Waddle Dee in place of Isaac, and/or Simon Belmont in place of K. Rool.
I see Simon, and Bandanna Dee along side them in quite a few of the leaks as well.
Honestly, I want Elma more than Rex and Pyra even though all of them are good characters. Reason being is that Elma's moveset potential interests me. Smash brothers has never had a dedicated dual wielder fighter (Pit uses his shield orbitars, bow and burning side arm as attacks) and I would love to see how a dual wielder plays in Smash Brothers.
Yea, and don't forget, she'd use her duel rifles too!
Yea, that's true. And I think they're picking K. Rool, and Isaac, going off the assumption that the newcomers will be largely based on the ballot, which is a safe bet as well
Of course. Now, I am not knocking Rex and Pyra, but I cannot shake the feeling that he would be too similar to Shulk with a minor change in attacks (like his Anchor Shot).
Yea, he would definitely feel at least fairly similar to Shulk, I also kinda had the fear lingering in the back of my mind for a while that they might make him a semi clone of Shulk, but I don't think that will happen
It's possible but the way I look at it is Elma is the Chrom to Cross' Robin, and obviously Chrom was thought of before Robin was but was kept out because of his lack of moveset potential. In contrast to Chrom, Elma has a ton of moveset potential and even a more focused and distinct kit than cross does.
That's actually something I meant to bring up, I see Elma come up in rumors all the time alongside heavy hitters like K. Rool, Ashley and Simon. I've only seen a handful that look believable, and it's more than likely all of them are fake, but it just means Elma is that deeply embedded in the public psyche, and that makes me happy.
Yea, they're all probably fake, but I still can't shake this feeling that maybe it has some semblance of truth to it, you know? Like, I wonder if one of these leaks is actually true, and since it seems likely, more people are jumping on the bandwagon. Plus, Elma is highly likely already, so that does back up the leaks, at least somewhat.
Yea, Elma has a much greater chance at making it in, though I'm not gonna lie, it would be neat to see Cross in there, but I'd rather see Elma, and I don't think Cross would be very likely at all
I feel like Cross being in would miss the point of Cross to begin with, they aren't an all-star, they're one in a million player characters that are all doing their part for BLADE, completing squad missions, fighting Yggralith, trading hacked equipment for nothing, and they all have their own unique look, builds, even divisions. XCX is all about the individual small-picture stories in a much much larger world, however, this doesn't translate well in to Smash as Smash is ALL about the all-stars and the biggest picture possible. So it fits that the most important character in the story gets the spot, Elma.
EXACTLY. This dood gets it, lol. But yea, I totally agree, I don’t think Cross is even a possibility, Elma is the way to go.
Definitely true, cross is the definition of a blank slate with no defining characteristics by default. They don't even have a default name or voice like Robin does, they don't have any actual dialogue and the default class of Drifter is uninteresting as far as moveset potential goes and as much as people say it they can't make a moveset out of a dozen different weapons, it doesn't really work
He is the best fit for the moveset Sakurai envisioned for Animal Crossing, since he is the one who uses all those tools. Also his look is very unique and distinct, and he is also quite limited in his customization in comparison to other avatars (for example is face is always a present, you can't change his body structure...).. Their major appeal is in customizing them, which is also why Smash uses them as the "Create a Character" feature. Their customizability has been fully embraced by Smash. While some consider them an Avatar, they are mostly the same for all player's, the only thing that can be changed is the gear they wear, but their moveset would be the same no matter if this is my Inkling or another person Inklings, since they all use the same weapons (and in Smash they use all of them).Great post. I think the major thing is that Robin or Corrin etc have a offical look in their gamesWe should analyse all the different "Avatars" in Smash:
:ultrobin He is still one of the 3 protagonist of Awekening, and he has his default look alongside an older and younger one of that said default look. But while his look can be customized, his abilities of being a Sword and Magic user can't. That is what drawn Sakurai to him: his unique moveset potential that is common among all player's Robin. Same goes for
Cross, on the other hand, is completely up to the player. Mine for example was very tall, had a moustache and always wears a smoking, but I'm sure that he looks completely different from anyone else's Cross. And that wouldn't be a problem, but the problem is that he also plays completely different. After a couple hours in the game Cross can select a class from his standard (and extremely boring for Smash) one. That's the biggest problem, every Cross plays differently. Some player's opted to be Attacker, other Healer and other Tanks, and all are extremely different from one another. Creating a moveset using "an attack from each class" just doesn't make sense because of how different they are.
Also it doesn't help that he never had any real impact on the game story, which centered about Elma. He was a "link" (eheh) between the player and the world, but he always felt like he didn't appartein to Mira, and that is because he is meant to represent the player.
He isn't his own character without the player, and that is why Cross is extremely unlikely to be in Smash, especially when we have a real character from that world being Elma.
It would be like adding the Strategist over Lyn from Fire Emblem, just because he is the MU character doesn't mean he is the protagonist, or the most prominent character in the game.
Black tar (both versions) is a must, as well as both the minor and major boss fight themes.
Codename Z deserves to be in no matter what, I think it'd fit on gaur plain pretty well if we don't get an X stage, probably my favourite track.
Wouldn’t it be cool, if You Will Know Our Names was playing and showing Shulk fighting, only for Uncontrollable to drown it out as we get an Elma reveal? That would be hype!
I recall at least one side mission in X where somebody outright accuses you of just riding on Elma's coattails.
Lol. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack for weeks now. I can’t wait to hear them in Smash!
Yea. I feel like Cross could potentially be a neat character, but it’s not happening.
I don’t actually remember that song, I’ll have to listen to it again later. But yea, Smash could use some more dramatic songs.
Wait, did they confirm that you can turn off just stage hazards?
