Game & Watch is one color too and he has no problem with not turning invisible. Also what do think that purple ball that looks like Tael could actually be then?
It's the exact same characters, with none extra and none missing. Some of them are easy guesses, some less so. In a world of coincidences, that's a pretty massive one. You're right though, it could mean nothing at all! I just find it difficult to believe.
I'm really unsure of your point here. Game and Watch is on the very end of the image with nothing in front of or behind him. He stands out against the background. "Skull Kid" doesn't. And he should, with all the colors on his clothing and the mask itself. Especially if he's in the foreground, with nothing in front of him.
Literally anything. It's a purple splotch on an already muddled image. There's no way to know what it is. But tell me, if that's Tael, where's Tatl? We know she's not with Young Link, after all.
Sounds a a lot like why Loz18 got so big.
My point is that being a solid color (literally the only thing you said regarding Ridley) doesn't mean you just disappear in the banner. For all we know Mach Rider's bike could casting a shadow over Skull Kid while he sits in it referencing how heavily shadowed MM's own official artwork is. Would definitely explain why the color splotches are so muted.
Tatl is probably not with Skull Kid at all. For most of MM she's separated from Skull Kid and this isn't Hyrule Warriors so it's safe to assume Skull Kid wouldn't be using his fairies to do everything for him anyway.
More than fair. We shall see.
That's not the only thing I said; I also pointed out that Ridley is blocked by three other characters. So yeah, obviously he's tough to pick out. Especially when one of those characters is Meta Knight, whose wings are a similar color. Skull Kid is supposedly in the very front of this image, completely unobstructed from view. No other colorful character on this banner has their colors muted, or at least not anywhere near as badly as his would have to be.
Seems odd to me to have one but not the other, when they're both his friends (and if the chairs are anything to go by, Sakurai would recognize that they're partners), but it's hardly a big deal if she's not there. Just curious what your thoughts were.
I'm not necessarily claiming it's the bike. I'm not sure what it is. I'm just not letting myself believe it's Skull Kid.
Don't worry about it. A one sided debate isn't really a debate anyway. You can stay on the fence about it if you want, and at least you wouldn't be setting yourself up for disappointment.
I mean...the 26th probably would've been better.
This looks nice, but isn't correct.
If he's not an Assist Trophy, a boss, or he's not in base, he will definitely be DLC in the future. Skull Kid is too popular to completely remove from the game entirely, so I definitely think he will be DLC if the Grinch/Banner leak turns out to be true.
Honestly, this right here is what has me feel like Skull Kid is playable, as base or DLC (whether in the banner or not since we don't know for certain if it's even real, let alone if Skull Kid is in it). Because it seems almost like he's cut from the game entirely and doesn't make much sense why. Some people might say "Oh, well Isaac's Assist Trophy disappeared for one game and he wasn't playable then, that means nothing!" but it's not quite the same. For Skull Kid...
Man, the last Smash Direct won't come soon enough. I just want to know if the Banner leak is real or not so we can get it over with.
Shantae, Bandana Dee, Waluigi if they decide to promote Assist Trophies into playable characters in DLC. I guarantee you one of those three will be the first character announced for DLC.
Bandana Dee, or perhaps one of the supposedly cut characters, are also good bets!
I think Skull Kid was spotted on the banner leak.
I could also see Sora being our first DLC character. Honestly there's no way to predict it, but those all seem likely to me.
I think soras unlikely because of KH's relationship with Disney
Nah, it's not nearly as big a deal as people think. Disney was asked how they would feel about Sora in Smash and they basically just said they'd be fine with it as long as Nomura signed off. And it would be completely possible to represent Sora and KH without referencing Disney at all. The only thing we'd be likely to see is the Mickey-shaped keychain on his Keyblade, and even that could be changed if it was an issue. I can imagine it as a Smash symbol instead.
Nekoo
to confirm, since he knows better.
