Do you have a source for this? If its true than X is considered a different franchise which might be a good sign.
True, it could have just been PR talk. The main thing that worries me is that P5 released in late 2016 which hurts the whole "DLC being developed around the project plan" theory which would place the list of characters at around 2015 when Elma was super relevant. And there's no way in hell that they would choose Elma over Rex considering XC2 is more popular and relevant, and Rex got deconfirmed meaning that Elma might be ****ed.
People keep saying this but Joker doesn't break any rules that Cloud didn't already break since SMT also has a long history on Nintendo consoles. And if we end up getting Persona 5 on Switch like some people are hoping it will end up making a ton of sense.
THIS.
While the game was released in late 2016, it still was confirmed and known to the pubblic. Remember that what Sakura said that doomed Rex was that he wasn't announced when they were picking the roster (and potentially the DLC), so he could have been chosen even back in 2015 as the Persona 5 protagonist, especially since they wouldn't have started development on him until much later.
Yeah but I kinda doubt that Sakurai reserved a slot for a third-party that didn't even come out yet. That kind of behavior is only reserved for Pokemon, considering Pokemon are always guaranteed safe, loved picks since the games sell a ****ton anyways. I just don't see Nintendo taking that risk with anything other then Pokemon.
Well Persona is a big series. And maybe the slot was saved as "TP character", and then they went with Joker after seeing how big Persona 5 became. Remember that since development wouldn't have started until after the main game they could even do licensing at a later date.
I pray, man. Elma is the only semi-realistic character I have left who didn't die
True enough. The only safe bet for the entirety of Smash Ultimate's speculation were the Inklings, and they were revealed before we had a chance to speculate. I remember everyone saying that Rex and Spring Man were "locks" and now neither of them are in. All bets are off.
I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in this thread before, but I'll try to see if I can find that information in-game.
Gotta ask though, where's the source on that? Both things, I mean. The thing about characters from new franchises, and that being misinformation.
Yeah, Reggie literally just said "characters new to the series". That's all, and nothing we didn't already know.
Happy to know our fears were unfounded
I will bring up that this dlc pass will not fill up the stage list, we will still have 1 more blank spot on the Stage Selection Screen.
Im on the opposite end of that. i think Joker is that big first character to pull everyone in to buying the past. its like with Street Fighter V where they they have the most popular characters at the beginning (Akuma/Sakura) and at the end (Zeku aka Strider/Sagat)
So Cloud, Wii Fit, and the Miis?
I can personaply confirm only Wii Fit Trainer, and I heard the same for Cloud, but since I'm planning to do all Classic Modes if I find more I will tell you.
I was under the impression that the Reggie quote was from a press release separate from what he said in the game show, where was the original article claiming Reggie said this? I don't want my dreams shattered just yet
Yeah actually:
Alright then, I'm done making the compilation image. I decided to do this based on the "Elma's Advice" tutorials from X, to neatly tie this thematically together, even if it did end up making the individual parts a bit large. I usedNonno Umby 's argument list for this, though I ordered the points chronologically, rewrote some parts, and added a few bits of my own.
So, first of, as a series of images:
And here it is as a one hecking big image, that is even too big to properly upload on Smash Boards' servers.

If anyone has any further additions/found any typoes/found any other mistakes, let me know so I canfeel like a complete and utter idiotcorrect it.
Rex and Pyra still seems as unlikely as ever, if you ask me. Remember Skye Bennet's statements about not being contacted? If the two character reveal is a Xenoblade one, it could be Elma with Cross/Rook as an Echo Fighter.
Piranha Plant has three spirits:
Other characters such as Cloud Strife also uses his Smash artwork.
Actually, Those aren't piranha plant, that Petey and a Nipper Plant.
As someone who is "researching" this theory, I also know that Robin uses his Smash render. However people already have a counterpoint ready in that the reason WFT and Robin use their Smash renders, is that they don't really have official artwork from their coregames (Robin never had a full artwork in Awakening).
There are other non full artworks featured as Spirits, like EVA's and even Simon Belmont's (it lacks his feet).Besides, they could have used the artworks from Fire Emblem Warriors or Heroes.
I believe that stuff is debunked, because Mytrha's spirit also just says Xenoblade series(have yet to aquire a XB2 spirit to 100% confirm it for you guys)
Only partly. There are a bunch of spirits the just say they are from the Xenoblade Series, but Xeno X itself still isn't seen in the code will all the titles of games used in Smash.
There is a list of these games? I would like to check it myself...
