That could easily just be placeholders. And they could have revealed said character through old footage. I mean, we didn¨t really see a model for Joker when he got revealed. But no matter who it is, and a sequel is announced.. yeah... and that¨s whats scares me. Especially when the Pokemon DLC is supposedly going to be released the same month we will know who it is.... -_-
To be fair, it's still possible that a Gen 8 rep could be a fan favorite (like Toxtricity). Afterall, we got Byleth (main protag of base game) and not a DLC character for the 3H rep despite the 3H DLC coming out right then.
Right? People thought the September direct was bad? This one easily overtakes that.
I mean, was Fire Emblem underperforming in Japan when Melee came out?
In regards to Geno? It's very likely (but not guaranteed) a point in his favor.
My expectations were:
They should have enough material for music tracks and a spirit board selection
Not everything that comes out in June is automatically in smash. Good grief. And why use placeholders if they're not even saying who it is? They didn't need to give us a list at all.
We should be since this is great for Geno, but now everyone is upset because apparently any 1st party character is automatically a shill pick.
My biggest issue is not Urushifu (although it would suck for reasons already mention).. But if Arms get¨s a sequel, and a Gen8 Pokemon gets revealed that month... What would that give off as a signal for the rest of the pack then??? You see what I¨m saying. I mean, it's not like they (and no offense to Arms fans) strong card that could remove a lot of people's bad taste after Byleth.
lol what if it's an inverse Fighter's Pass 1? First party characters up until a final third party character at the end.
Dude, nothing is pointing to Urshifu. Calm down. You're getting really upset over completely random baseless assumptions.
Not to mention the Assist Trophy is all 3 and the Costume characters are also Spirits, so it's just a matter of if any of the Spirit characters are pick, they could also break down some additional barriers.
That's only if the ARMS rep is a new character in a supposed sequel. I'm still greatly leaning towards it being one of the 5 Spirits in the game as they're arguably some of the most popular picks, especially Twintelle or Min Min.
WITH GENO BEING THE LAST ONE BAYBEEEE
As I said in another post , they would probably choose the characters that have similar body types to Spring Man , like Ribbon Girl or Springtron.
I know I am. Like waiting till June sucks but at least we have SOMETHING to go off of besides *radio scilence*
I will be ecstatic if the ARMS rep is not a future new ARMS game AND is someone already represented in Smash. The last final fan rule(s) will be finished.
They could just do an all-Nintendo pass though, with hopefully Geno included since he's *partially* Nintendo from being in a Nintendo-made universe (Mushroom Kingdom/Mario series).
I *guess* but still... Would be better than just getting one rep for sure, kinda like how you can use Sothis and the house leader alt colors for Byleth.
Right? I don't think it's likely, but there's still that feeling of uncertainty because they didn't say who the fighter is.

They could still use old footage to show who it is. That¨s what I¨m saying. It would not be that hard for them to do. Hell, they revealed an unfinnished model of Mewtwo as an announcement tool for him as DLC for Smash4
No matter who it is, it will still give exposure to the franchise which = advertisement for a potential sequel.
Certainly, it isn't very concrete and is mostly a stretch, but it's an idea posited by several posters in this thread, Fatman being a notable one, that since this is Sakurai's final Smash, he would be aiming to squeeze in a meaningful amount of characters - and obviously 100 is a meaningful number. As it stands, we have 75 characters without echo fighters, 7 echo fighters, and 6 fighters coming down the pipes. That adds up to 88 characters with their own slots, which is two short of the 90 that, if I recall correctly, going past on the character select screen crashes the game. Without some kind of game update, it is technically impossible to cram 100 characters in, but if you consider that there are 7 Koopalings and 3 more Heroes than advertised, we're at 98, and then Alph puts us at 99. Some of that rides on the fact that these characters have different names, so you can ignore Hero if you like and push us back down to 96, but if the ARMS rep ends up bringing 3 different named characters with them, we'll be right back at 99. Obviously, a situation in which the ARMS rep has 7 additional characters in a Bowser Jr. situation would push the number well past 100, and it raises the argument of who counts as a character for the sake of making this one of, if not the biggest crossovers in video gaming. Outside of Mugen, Ultimate already has an unrivaled playable cast.
Fire Emblem is still underperforming compared to the franchises that it rivals for representation in Smash, and in some cases, compared to franchises that have far fewer characters.
What's your take on the fact Sakurai said fighter 6 is ready to present in January, just need a little more time, but now tweets they got this request not long ago from the higherups and we gotta wait till June cuz it's kinda hard to get the extendable arms working? Fighter 6 being moved to a different slot or potentially multiple ARMS reps needing more time?
I don't even know anymore because Corona has ****ed so much up. "E3" will definitely be interesting this year.
It could legit be either of those. The one thing that an ARMS reveal did was blindside everyone, just like Joker did, so I could see them moving whoever 6 was to somewhere else.
Why would they use old footage to announce the character? They've never done that ever. Obviously they are waiting for an actual trailer. Probably the reason it wasn't completely shown off is because the trailer just isn't ready. And again, why the list? For what reason would they give us a "placeholder"? Can you actually answer that question?
Like I said above in my edit. If they were willing to use an unfinished model of Mewtwo as an announcement that he is back for DLC in Smash4... then why would they not be able to use the footage for the game to reveal Spring Man or whoever it is?
No doubt!
Because Mewtwo was a veteran, and because the dlc didn't get real trailers in smash 4. Now stop avoiding my question which you clearly don't have an answer for. For what reason would they give us a placeholder? I'm not going to respond to any more of your posts until you answer that.
Despite the incredibly disappointing Direct, yes absolutely. Nearly 7 months is much longer than not even 3! (assuming they'd do an early June direct which is when E3 would have been)
This is the Geno thread.
Can you kindly **** off? Nintendo is in charge of the DLC. I'm not thrilled about an ARMS rep either, but do not blame him for this.
Because either A) COVID19 made them unable to make a proper trailer or B) they don¨t want t to announce the sequel yet (if there is one). But sure, I give you the Mewtwo one
So, will this be our last first party rep then for Ultimate, most likely?
