TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGS.
(talking about the copyright takedowns, obs)
Yes, but Geno won't get in unless Square-Enix allows it. Nintendo nor Sakurai has the power to change that. And copyright with Square-Enix is a ***** so they probably have to go through more legal **** just to get him in as a playable character even though they already have a Spirit of him in the game.

More like 99% of it's credibility lol! Also if Geno doesn't get in I won't blame Sakurai or Nintendo, I will blame Square-Enix for being greedy ******** that wanted to put another character in that they saw as more profitable and promotional than Geno.
The year is 2049. Smash Kurfuffle has taken the world by storm with a 999 character roster. The entire cast of FF7 and Kingdom Hearts is now playable along with DQ Hero, Chocobo, 2B, Chrono, Gex, Lara Croft and Agnes Oblige. Meanwhile, Geno is still nowhere to be found and the resistance mounts their boldest offensive yet against the Square Enix stronghold....

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! I bring you a tasty morsel of speculation:

https://www.dexerto.com/smash/smash...-be-revealed-at-march-nintendo-direct-1338935

What say you? Fake or not fake?
Fake as all hell. And honestly, with exceptions like Doomguy/Master Chief, I'm sick and tired of realistically proportioned human characters being added over more cartoony or nonhuman ones in DLC. Banjo is the only FP character I really cared for not just because of my disregard for most RPGs, but every other fighter was just a freakin human and they had playstyles I didn't like.

Also, I know you guys probably hate Pirahna Plant (I know I didn't like him when I saw the reveal) but he was my second favorite DLC fighter so far because he is very fun and it's a stinkin plant that can fight.

1.) 4Chan text/photo post already equals 99.9% fake odds.
2.) That looks like the Soul Caliber model with her landing stance.

I actually main the plant. Won a few local tournaments in my area with him actually. I love plant.

I totally get and understand that. That's like the only thing keeping him from being a guarantee at this point, but there's just a pile of evidence/unconfirmed leaks. Even taking the leaks out, he's got Sakurai's approval and the copyright takedowns, along with the disappearance of his Sm4sh costume that didn't come with Hero. I really, truly, can't see that as adding up to nothing. That would be the most crushing defeat ever.

Lol! Like Square-Enix would ever allow all those characters into the roster when they won't even allow Spirits of them in the game.

Agreed. I'm really tired of human characters. Literally every character I want are cartoony or non-human

Well, it IS the year 2049 so they've softened up a bit......but there's still only two songs....for ALL of them combined....

Holy ****, it looks so bad. You can very clearly see the polygons that make up her model, and why the hell would the unlock screen be shown in the reveal trailer? Clearly fake.
Lol I'll be honest, I thought you were bringing back the old, "I've seen quite a number of shops in my day and judging by the pixels....yeah it's definitely shopped."

I’m surprised people are still saying this. People were basing this on the fact that the filesize listed in the copyright was the same size as the SNK Heroines DLC filesize... while completely ignoring the fact that the Smash DLC characters all had the same filesize too. It was just a legitimate slip-up/leak. There’s no basis to say that they copy-pasted the SNK Heroines DLC onto the Smash page.
That's what I meant...

Without me showing proof, which I will, would they really show that much? It's not even a covered up model which it would NEED to be, if Mai couldn't even get in as a cameo, when it's way easy RIGHTS WISE to cover up Mai then 2B by a long shot.


Now let me show proof.

The picture at the top, is that part of the "leak" too? Because that picture is super fake. Just by looking at it, the person who made it didn't have a clue about perspective. I mean, neither do I when it comes to *making* a leak, but I can at least see when they don't have a clue either, lol.

You can see the credits for a YouTube channel, lol

There really isn't enough diversity in the roster in terms of appearances. It's true there are too many anime looking or human characters in the roster and not enough cartoony looking characters like Banjo & Kazooie, K. Rool, Duck Hunt, ect. But it's a Japanese game so you can expect that.

I still kind of think even with us getting Ridley and K. Rool in this game we still don't have enough heavyweights in the game. I feel like there still should be a couple of more heavyweights in the roster like Porky, Dr. Eggman, ect.

There is even some major female characters not yet in the roster like Dixie Kong, Krystal, Chun-Li, Lara Croft, ect they should be in too. But alas, with Nintendo half of the time it's about recent characters and using them as promotion for upcoming games.

How many of you guys are Isaac bros? He isn't a character I really want, but I would be happy for his fans if he got in just about as much as I would be happy for you guys if Geno get's in.

I played 1 GS game. I have almost no attachment to the series nor do I want Isaac. But I'd be glad if he got in. He's even in my sig of honorable mentions.

Ok, I'll come out as an Isaac bro. He and Geno were my staunches picks up until his untimely demise in Ultimate. Alas, I really want Golden Sun representation but it's the pipest of pipe dreams right now, I know.

Isaac has an Assist Trophy in Brawl and Ultimate and has a Mii costume so he is far from a pipe dream. The way I see it, once a character get's Assist Trophy or a Mii costume they're very likely contenders to be playable characters in a future Smash game especially if they get both like Isaac has gotten.

He's not in my top 5, but I think out of all characters who would be considered sword users he is probably number 2? Behind Nightmare/Yoshimitsu. I just like Golden Sun and would love to see him use earth magic in an interesting way which could really shake up gameplay.

The problem though is Ultimate seems to be Sakurai's Magnum Opus and could very well be the final Smash game, at least that he works on. Though TBH I'm hoping we just keep getting ports of it with each new game putting in another few characters or something, lol.

That said, anyone who is left out of FP2 will likely not be coming for a *long* time, if ever.

Man, i wish that we had some actual leaks, even fake ones that have passion in them, like that gordon freeman leak

Sure, it's fake, but it looks so good to awe at

"Don't look at me if we end up with more swordsmen."

The chances of getting at least one more is pretty high to begin with given a lot of popular characters use swords. "Is your character the main protagonist of a JRPG?" Congrats, they probably use a sword.

And yet no primary protag in SMRPG uses a sword... ;)
Plenty of the enemies do, but they're not protags now are they?

Base game speculation was more fun than DLC speculation. It was more crowded here back then, a ton of characters were still on the table, and there was so many good to bad leaks that popped up left from right every second. I wish we could go back to speculation being like that.

So I saw this video from BlastBox about who could be cut in Smash 6 and he gives a pretty good rating for almost everyone. He is bias against a few characters like Corrin. Though almost everyone is though lol! He has a solid mock up here of who is mostly likely to stay and be cut in the next game. Hopefully Geno makes it into Ultimate with every single veteran.
Why people have the fascination of doing "who is going to be cut in Smash 6" videos when Smash is still relatively young and we don¨t even know if we are getting another one (the franchise is probably gonna continue as a port if I have to guess)

I honestly don¨t know. Why? Back in January, Captain Zack found a visual glitch for Bayonetta that could be an indicator of something. Simon and Richter had a visual glitch with their whip animation which was used for Byleth. And based on what I know of 2B and Bayonetta, I don¨t think it's hard to imagine the possibility to see Sakurai using Bayonetta as a model for 2B would she be a fighter for the fighters pass and the glitch actually mean something.

I really do want a fighter who uses a spear as a main weapon, but those aren't as common.
Guess it's FF4 Kain, FF14 Estinien, as best bets, but since they'd probably interfere with our star boy, I'm willing to pass.

We do need some more weapon variety honestly.
Guns - check
Unarmed - a healthy plenty
Swords - death by a billion cuts
Magic - all over the place
Vacuum - Luigi death combos

Sure Byleth has an arsenal, but considering the sword is his main weapon and he pulls the others, ehhh...

Or even just “Is your character the protag from a series with melee weapons?” Main characters use swords.

I'm dead serious when I say that the "too many swordsmen" thing is really going to be a problem further down the road. Sakurai holds "uniqueness" as the most prized aspect of a character's moveset, but as evidenced by the vast majority of swordies, there's only so much originality you can give to a sword user. Period. There will come a point where all future swordies will basically be a mix-and-match of pre-existing swordies which will be a huge turn-off for a lot of people, myself included.

Honestly, I think the sword complaints really boil down to 'No more FE swordsman in Smash' and 'No more FE reps period,' but leaning more on the first one.
