oh my god this is too sad
the hopes of a Custom Robo reboot are oficially dead
This makes me a bit sad because it means it's going to take a long while before we get to see a new Xenoblade game. I guess I shouldn't complain since we received 3 Xenoblade games within a span of three years. That's amazing. At the same time, I'm excited to check out their new IP.
I feel sorry for Custom Robo fans and I wanted to see the assist trophy return at least and now that seems to be off the table sadly. I'm trying to understand why they just did not renew the IP do to the many others they have the rights to that just sit in the Nintendo vault.
I'm sure Bill was one of the few who knew everyone was here before E3 and do to Nintendo sending him to Japan often I'm sure he was told all of the plans for Ultimate and it really could have been a slip up or not
Keep in mind he would not be able to give a true answer with how tight lipped Nintendo is about things and there focus seems to be on that new fantasy IP. If only they did not help out with so many Nintendo projects they might have been able to work on 2 new games at once.
Understandable since Monolith likely wants to move on to other things like that Fantasy IP they teased...
Speaking of that new Fantasy IP, has Monolith Soft stated anymore about it besides the concept art and looking for employees?
That answer is a little strange because the question kinda of asked about a sequel for XC2, so maybe it is unlikely that they will do a XC2-2. With that said they already said that they want to do XC3, XCX-2 and new things, so the desire is there, but nothing as started yet. But I'm sure the series isn't dead, and they are already working on a new IP.
The gun in the figure is too short for being held that way, and I also brought up that if he needed that kind of reference he could have simply bought a robot with a sniper rifle, since there are a lot.
Trust me when I say I'd love for Incineroar to not get in the game. Coming from a pokemon fan, I'm tired of pokemon's overwhelming representation in smash and I'm tired of the pokemon representation coming from speculation along the lines of "oh he's new" or "oh he would add a final evo grass starter" instead of focus being on characters that have either "stood the test of time popularity wise" or "has a real significance to the franchise as a whole"
That doesn't make much sense honestly. Firstly, I imagine you are talking about the Inkling sniper rifle which they hold with two hands. The gun used wouldn't make a good representation of it due to length effecting hand placement. It also seems wierd that Sakurai would make mention of purchasing one specific gun for the inkling that wouldn't even be significant part of the moveset. If we are talking about the splattershot instead we run into a different issue in the manner of optimization. There are gun models that go with most poseable models that are much closer to the splatter shots length. Considering Sakurai has worked with characters with small firearms prior, he should already have models of said length.

Exactly. He also brought Xenoblade when talking about newer characters because they appeal more to newcomer players, while veteran smasher are more into characters from Melee. And guess what, Marth and Roy are from Melee, so using Fire Emblem would have been a terrible example.
I agree with this, especially given the success of XC2 and the increased publicity it has over the previous games.
Xenoblade and Fire Emblem sound the same, right? Shulk and Marth are basically the same thing........
Actually saw that. Looks actually legit, but it could either be real or someone had too much time in their hands. Personally, I’m hoping Elma gets a Lucina/Robin-style reveal this October before a final Smash Direct in November with those three characters.
There's this interview with Takahashi and the Persona series director.
Why now if the game doesn’t release until December? Not to smear this or anything, but didn’t the whole base roster for Smash 4 leak a month before the game released for 3DS in Japan? I’d say we’ll get leaks in November at least.
Maybe take inspiration from other games in terms of including mature themes within a limit? For example, Injustice 2 was a T-Rated game but pushes the very extent of that rating with two mentions of a certain kind of crime that I know of so far (One from Superman in the Story and the other from Red Hood in his ending. I’m sure you know what I mean), showing of actual wounds like Wonder Woman stabbing Harley Quinn or Deadshot sniping The Flash right in the leg. With that in mind, maybe Monolith Soft can try to push the extent of what Nintendo would allow in terms of mature themes?
Counting echos 6-8 characters is a reasonable number.
If this is true, I could see our remaining newcomers being the following:
Agree with this except for Dixie, she makes far more sense as an isabelle style semi-clone than a straight up echo imo.
That is true, nobody has accounted for possible semi-clones.
I agree, although in hindsight I guess it makes sense, in 2015 Bandana Dee was less of a main character than now, had star allies come out earlier his chances would probably be higher. On the plus side though with star allies combined with his popularity he's got a great shot at DLC.
I think Black Shadow doesn't make much sense as a character to include unless Sakurai is really that tone deaf to the fans requests by including Black Shadow and Ganondorf only barely decloning himself. Also as said above Dixie could be a Isabelle semi clone, though I kinda also think she could ba a Chrom style Echo by using a different up-B but otherwise staying the same outside of what the pistol shoots.
If the advertising and sakurai end with 2 "boring" characters for a lot of people , I don't want to see live reactions on youtube of the disapoitement of the lack of characters like "that's all?" especially after people had low expectation for the smash direct and after it they are now higher (that's logical).
Until she's confirmed (or deconfirmed, which hopefully won't happen), every Wednesday(/Tuesday for Americans) is going to be stressful, really.
This is pretty close to my own picks...
As for my picks:
