They may want Hades, but I'm sure he has no chance of being playable. I just don't think Palutena has any competition with the others, but like we said many times, it's all bout the waiting game for her. I do wanna see some KI ATs and more trophies overall though.
Current KI stuff are:
-Characters: Pit
-Trophies: Pseudo Palutena and Phosphora
-Items: X-bomb, Back Shield, Ore Club, Drill Arm, and Killer Eye as items
-Stages: Reset Bomb Forest (3ds) and Palutena's Temple (WiiU)
And indications to Palutena's potential are:
-Pit's new Final Smash
-The teasing with the Pseudo Palutena trophy
-The Palutena leaks that have yet to be debunked even after a few months
-Palutena's Temple to a little extent
-KI being one of the major 8 franchises shown in the first trailer to a lesser extent
-The good amount of KI content so far
-Stuff that I may have forgotten
So far, things are looking up as expected. How I do some of this? "Hard work and determination."
As for the Palutena avatars, I'll be having an avy of her once she's revealed. I just love the new Smash 4 Pit expression so much (since he was pretty much a poker face in Brawl).
