I feel like the same thing could be said about Toad and Dixie Kong. Toad being one of the most iconic Mario characters ever and Dixie Kong being just as iconic and important as Diddy and K. Rool. Both were characters people thought were very likely one way or the other for years especially Dixie Kong. But they keep getting looked over.
This. Definitely Isaac. And in his defense, he would NOT be just another typical "anime swordsman". His psynergy abilities and geokinesis would make him more of a mage/psychic type fighter that happens to use a sword for some of his normal attacks. He could be very unique to the rest of the swordies. Plus he looks freaking awesome.
yeah because Resetera is up their own ass and thinks their special, doesnt mean everyone is an insider there
Exactly! I would only take the mods word for account there Shinobi for example.
I'm pretty sure we're getting news next week, unless Nintendo pulls a troll move and releases the fighter the week after on the very last day of June, which I doubt
It wouldn't surprise me at this point due to their weird behavior on Twitter lately like showcasing a random game in the middle of the night for example.
Thursday is the absolute deadline unless they don't care about the investors' meeting, or being absolute scum, saying "June", and then revealing on the literal last possible day.
Kind of, but I don’t really agree. Mario series already has a ton of reps so its hard to say that the 10th most important Mario character is a “snub”. They can’t fit them all in.
I'm thinking regardless of when the reveal is, the release will be the 30th.
Yeah, it's a pretty scum move to do something like that.
Toad I would say is actually more important than half of the Mario characters already in the roster.
I HARD disagree with comparing Dixie’s importance to Princess ****ing Peach. My point was to say that Isaac is the single biggest snub. Sure, there are a ton of “lesser” snubs of tertiary characters in their series that I don’t really care to discuss. That’s the point. With those characters there are cases for and against their inclusions. With Isaac there isn’t. He’s the protagonist of a second-party company that isn’t in Smash. He’s in a tier of his own
I'm not saying Dixie is as important as Peach I'm just saying she is DK's Peach.
She is not. There are almost no similarities whatsoever other than them being girls. I will end my participation here so as not to go too off topic.
I'm willing to bet big money that it won't just be shadow dropped. Like, at all. They're gonna make an announcement at least a day prior.
If anything, you could make the argument that Dixie Kong is the most influential Donkey Kong character in DK64. She was a playable protagonist in two of the three games. More than the titular character could say. There is a reason why people clamor for Dixie because it just feels like one of the most blatant omissions in Smash Bros. Whether people would prefer seeing her as an echo to Diddy or her own individual character almost everyone can agree that Dixie Kong just feels like such a missing piece in terms of characters. Gotta stick up for my fellow SNES characters. They make a whole lot more sense compared to 3rd party characters that already have their influence tapped into thousands of different forms of media. (Steve/ Sora)
Something else to note is that all the "surprise" announcements have always been part of other presentations. In order for Racoon Guy's prediction to be true, it would have to literally be the first true Smash shadowdrop ever. With this in mind, any sort of "Plant" type announcement likely wouldn't happen until the Smash presentation anyways.
Probably just the hat and curls. Works well in everyone's avatar pics.
I'm betting it would just be the hat and curls. That said, wouldn't it be funny if Geno's neutral B was Geno Beam so Kirby's stubby little arm transforms into a wand?
Yeah, but Dixie Kong wasn't in DK64. I feel like that really screwed her over as a lot of N64 Rareware fans I would say don't appreciate her as much. If she was in DK64 her popularity might have been akin to K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie's today.
Well at the very least 6. 7 doesn't really have to happen alongside ARMS
Dixie on hiatus in her series, was considered for Brawl.
The point I was making wasn't "holy **** guys, Sora's a-comin'" but that there's enough going on to support that it's not farfetched and Sora fans aren't deluded for making note of these things. Same goes for Rayman, Lloyd, Crash, and, of course, us. Yes, I posted the meme "not everything relates to Smash" but it's not hat on ass crazy to think it MIGHT because, like I said, all these characters currently have situations similar to what Banjo did in 2018 so there's precedent.
The standards are kind of different there to be honest. One is a dead character who was basically only kept alive from smash demand who hadn't received a game in a decade and hadn't received a good one in even longer. Combine that with how weird it was that even though they had all that time to do it, but specifically did it in 2018 when they were even less relevant, it is bound to raise a few eyebrows. That or it meant nothing.
Pretty much yeah. We do it cause it's fun. Some people love to analyze stuff and I don't think we need an excuse to do it. It's been normalized in sports and politics to speculate on trades or VP picks but people still haven't come around to the broader idea that analysis and speculation can be a form of entertainment.
Are we talking about Banjo here? Banjo's copyright stuff was a huge deal because it not only covered the old games themselves but brand new merchandise. Dead franchise getting new legal rights to sell stuff like T-shirts and plushes is definitely a red flag. Rayman and Tales have both gotten the same thing recently too. It shows that their respective companies have big plans in the not too distant future although, yes, that doesn't mean it's absolutely involves Smash.
Oh wasnt calling you out specifically, but just see some people using stuff like that as fact. Look at all those people that are sure a pokemon rep is coming dur to pokemon getting pushed
Yeah that's what I'm saying. You can't exactly say a new trademark for a relevant and iconic character is suspicious in a similar way to a pair of dead characters who were suspiciously getting used again right around the time the DLC was selected.
