Still doesn´t change the fact that if that was the reason she was delayed due to that, it could seize the work from the rest of the fighters depending on how problematic the technical (if that was the cause... can someone give me a source on that?) issues were.
Same here. It would annoy me if I didn´t have all the fighters.
Absolutely the same for me. I also buy all of the Mii Costumes, even though I don't believe I've used a Mii since I finished up getting everyone to Elite.
Yep, that sounds about right. Now Fatman, are you confident in us getting 3 DLC character reveals and releases before the end of 2020?
3 more packs? Definitely, especially if 7 and 8 were supposed to be E3 reveals and my theorycraft is right that Lloyd is 9 and being held off for the 25th anniversary of Tales in December. Geno in September, Chief in November, and Lloyd being announced in December sounds right to me.
That's sort of what I've been thinking.
Didn't you said that you expect Geno as 7th, Chief as 8th, Lloyd as 9th, Dante as 10th and Crash as 11th? Did the Xbox Showcase make you feel diferent about the order?
Well I meant at least 3 characters total by the end of the year, but I always appreciate the optimism nonetheless. People keep forgetting the Sakurai column that make it clear that DLC development has not been hindered
I originally thought Chief would be last given he didn't enter the conversation until last December but recently a lot has come up that, if true, Chief was probably decided around Banjo's release but Microsoft miraculously managed to not let this get out until a solid 4-5 months after the fact. It's weird because I'm now considering people getting information wrong back in January about Dante. I talk about it a little bit in this post in February:

Did Dante enter development in January? Teeeeechnically but not like actual coding development. I think Dante may have been approved in January, especially with new information coming from one of my contacts about two weeks ago that Capcom was the last company that successfully negotiated a pack for Season 2. Dante having his lever pulled (giggity) around the time the DMC 3 port was announced makes sense in my eyes but, on that note, means he's definitely not a 2020 character because the timeline between approval and release seems to be about a year to 14 months on average. If Dante was approved in mid January, it's reasonable to expect him as a Spring 2021 release at the earliest.
"We're happy to announce that the next two fighters coming in Volume 2 of the Fighters Pass will be... PLUSLE AND MINUN FROM POKEMON! In this unique take on a fighter, each Pokemon is it's own separate character. They're weak on their own, but when two players are playing as both Plusle and Minun on the same team, their damage output will increase slightly. Also, their Up-Special only works when both of them are together."
OH BOY!
If we do end up getting another Pokemon character, I'll be fine with it so long as it's not Rillaboom. Not because I hate RIllaboom or anything, hell I think he'd be a great choice with a lot of moveset potential. It's just that the amount of seething from people who want a Grass-Type starter Pokemon that would come from something like that would be amazing to witness.
*sees Geno and Chief. no longer cares about the rest. dies happy.*
2020 needs this
Toxtricity definitely would be my go to choice and I think the boat for 7 has probably passed as it probably would have released close to the expansion pass but 8 is still on the table.
On the upside Lloyd and Dante fight nothing alike. Lloyd is basically a berserker that fights with two swords and with some rumors suggesting he would have a partner mechanic of some kind while Dante fights with a sword, two guns, magic, and can turn into a ****in' demon. Either way, there's enough differences between the two that I don't think anybody will be complaining about swords because Lloyd would probably be a mix of Metaknight and Roy while Dante would be a mix of Cloud and Bayonetta.
Would love to see it with Simon there.
I didn't buy the pass this time, i would love it if I could curate the roster. Not having all the dlc is one way. Byleth being there still irks me, and I finished three houses afterwards. And it still irritates me.
Your fighter's pass sounds too good to be real but I really want it!
King Zell, the person who correctly guessed the February 13, September 4 and March 26 Directs says their will be a Direct sometime in August, but their won't be any new big Nintendo information for the rest of this month. We also have maintenance in August, which usually ever happens when a Direct is on the horizon, and as for Smash info, the "new" tab under the fighter selection has disappeared, which usually indicates a new fighter will get revealed soon. Honestly, I do believe we are in for more info very soon here.
Plus, Dante's a popular legacy character from Capcom that people would absolutely go nuts over, and apart from Phoenix Wright, is arguably the next go-to franchise for another Capcom rep.
This is why I was against us getting a Pokken Tournament shill. Could you imagine the message that would send having Nintendo force-feeding us two older first party fighting game reps in a row? Even if we weren't going to get a fighter pass full of shills, it wouldn't stop the speculation crowd from descending into total chaos over it. Expectations would evaporate entirely (in case they haven't already).
Wait, what? How is this the first I'm hearing of it?
I mean Dante is cool as heck, but I gotta say I really really love Amaterasu from Okami. Not sure her body proportions would work well for Smash, but she's always been one of my favorite characters. (And where my username is based off of.)
Why would the Pokémon Company of all companies want Mewtwo to be free and Nintendo of all companies want to charge for the character? Heck Nintendo even had Piranha Plant as a free bonus for a while.
100% agree. While I would never buy a season pass blindly like that without knowing the contents, SSBU's DLC has been the exception. This is because I know Sakurai will always deliver quality. Even if a fighter is one I'm not the most interested in, I know that the character will at least be high quality and I want to have the complete roster.
