Depends on what this pass's theme is. Last pass, we got third parties mixed with recent releases. Unfortunately, since we only know about the ARMS rep, we can't say for certain just yet.
I don't think there is a theme except for the exception that at least one Nintendo character that is the Arms rep so far has to be in each Pass.
Oh dear, I didn't think of that. If that is the case, the first-party supporters will probably have a fit.
I'm not saying that's the case but we will have to wait and see what happens after the Arms rep.
My guess is Geno. With the ARMS representative being announced so far in advance of their full reveal and release, I figure we'll be getting another trailer in the same presentation. Given that the past two E3s have given us Ridley and Banjo-Kazooie, two long-awaited fan favourites who seemed virtually impossible for one reason or another, Geno seems like the best choice to continue that trend - I can't think of many other characters who have been consistently requested since the pre-Brawl days. (his popularity may have dipped a bit in Smash 4's speculation period, but the demand was still there)
It would be better.
I'm pretty sure the Arms rep won't be delayed when they already announced they're coming in June.
Well I was mentioning earlier that you're more trustworthy than Vergeben even though you're not a leaker like everyone else thinks.
Of the criticism I get, I'm honestly burned out the most on this. This idea that my support for Geno is fake (despite over a decade of evidence to the contrary) and that the only reason the Geno fanbase likes or listens to what I say is that they're stupid and gullible. I mean... really think on what you're implying here when you casually say stuff like this. I'm saying something here because I've specifically seen you make several posts like this in the past year where you've pushed this idea that the Geno fanbase is just dumb manchildren with no critical thinking what-so-ever. It was old back in 2018 so you can imagine how I feel about it now.
This really doesn't answer my question, but I don't want to derail this thread. Feel free to DM me or tag me in an appropriate topic if you want to explain why I should take you as a credible inside source.
They probably just wanted to remind his announcer role in ARMS but it'd be hilarious if he turns out to be the next fighter.
That's fine. I've done this a number of times but, sure, I'll take this to PMs.
Biff Tannen confirmed! We are finally getting a Back to the Future rep.
First chairs, now this.
You seem to have forgotten the dozens of characters Sakurai has teased through those PotD things.
Gentlemen, we've officially entered peak boredom, and June hasn't even started. I commend the effort taken for the joke, though.
"Duke it out"
I have my doubts but I'd be beyond hype for our resident Rad Scientist
So what you're saying is, we could totally get LEGS according to the lore.
Spring Man lives for the fight, when he's not out there fighting he goes home to his one bedroom apartment, sits on his bed, and contemplates where his life went wrong
I'd probably have reason to believe it if the player is Jon Cartwright, he's their resident insider. But even then it looks like Gamefaqs users are reading too much into it:
Pretty sure @NintenDaan recorded this haha https://t.co/HZI926mjTj

Yeah, although it'd probably be for the original 12, for simplicity's sake.
Oh, that would be something to see. I'm just picturing fans wearing Ridley masks or carrying toy Monados in the ARMS stage!
I wonder if they could repurpose the Kirby hat models for that (with Zamus ones getting a full wig instead of just the ponytail)
At the least, one fanbase will be pleased. Which one is the question. There are very few characters that don't have a somewhat significant amount of people hoping for them, regardless whether it's a huge request, or someone that's more overlooked.
Well I hope the additional ARM is yellow rather than Kirby colored
i imagine the delays would be most likely for things a fair amount earlier in development, XBDE must have been nearly done so i imagine the arms character would be much the same i think delays would be for things a wee bit later in the year
Eh! Someone is sharing my twitter post, is this what peak internet fame feels like?
That's a bigger stretch than any character in ARMS could ever do
Only time will tell.
Well, obviously it's impossible to tell until the entire pass is out. It could be entirely 1st parties for all we know. However, let's say a spirit/AT like Min-Min/Springman get promoted; then I think the chances of us getting more 1st party characters is quite likely. If we do not get an "promotion", I can maybe see us getting 1 more first party at most.
Considering they stated in their latest investor meeting early this May that they have unannounced games still on schedule if things don't get worse around Japan (which is the opposite now, it's going really well, they lifted their state of emergency already in the remaining prefactures just days ago), I'm pretty sure Smash stuff in June hasn't changed, we would have known by now if it changed. DLC of these sizes definitely suffers less delays than actual games, and we are seeing Paper Mario releasing very soon already. Also, iirc fighters are worked/developed on batches of 3, so most likely fp6 7 and maybe 8 are fine in progress.
