So it seems things have calmed down around here, and I'm kinda glad it's happened so fast. For reference, I actually laughed at Steve's reveal and I must say I'm oddly hyped about it all.
First off, it wasn't some other Square character like 2B or Crono so I'd say we are doing pretty good.
Secondly, it wasn't a no-name character, not in the slightest, so it's not like we have a repeat of Corrin, Byleth or ARMS rep.
Thirdly, Steve is
kinda a big deal guys. This is definitely E3 worthy and frankly I wouldn't be surprised if Geno was meant to reveal after him at E3 originally.
Fourthly, I think this sets a precedent that Nintendo is just kinda sneaking in at least one character to represent a new IP so that they can capitalize on it to maximum sales. I highly doubt there will be any more first party characters in this pass when you consider that the pass needs reasons for people to buy it and Steve just did that for a lot of people, but of course that could be subject to change.
Lastly, there is information that Chief isn't really leakbait, which considering that Steve wasn't really leakbait I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Chief is also on his way.
"But Forsaken!" I hear the pessimists rallying in the distance, "There is no way that a company can get more than one character per Fighter's Pass, so there is no way Chief is happening because Vol 2 the last we will ever get for Ultimate!"
Well first off, this is just a silly fan rule, and we ALL KNOW what has happened to silly fan rules all through Ultimate. In fact, Ultimate is just a wild
*ing ride in which everything we try to make sense of gets blown the * back and we are just left standing around like 'woah...what just happened?' Of course, if Nintendo and Sakurai willed it, any company could have more than one character in a single pass, ESPECIALLY if that company is Nintendo themselves.
More importantly, this leads into something I've been wanting to talk about on this thread since July, which is the probability of a Fighter's Pass Vol 3. You may find some whisperings about it either now or in the very near future from persons you may find more credible or worth believing in, but remember that it was I with aid of the Brotherhood of Shadow who argued for the evidence of a second pass in July of last year and everyone doubted me then too. I'm just setting the record straight here that in my private circles there has been talk about bonus characters for months on end but I was one of the first I could see in speculation that had the facts and the gall to talk about a third pass.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about a third pass already existing or being greenlit for Smash Ultimate just after we got the second character of six from the second pass. You can think however you wish, but I have my reasons and I've done my fair share of digging. When I was talking about working on a meme video, specifically when I told
@Serenade01 that this video would now make him the bulutt of a joke in it because of his illogical Smash argument he made at that time, I was referring to a video that made mention of a third pass. I will still be working on said video but I will hold onto it and release it when the third pass is confirmed.
If anyone cares to hear my reasons on why I think a third pass is coming, feel free to let me know via quotes or the like and I'll get right into working on a post covering the details.
