Oh wow. RE Spirits dropping pretty soon.

I guess Leon and Jill are deconfirmed, at least as Fighter 5. Wow. Insane how Nintendo just casually deconfirmed an entire franchise like that, especially one so heavily theorized about.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Unless Fighter 5 shows that spirits don't deconfirm, I think Resident Evil's chances just took a dive.

I can literally get one thing from this entire speculation about #5....

Sakurai is playing all the leakers and insiders. To use a term in a more light hearted situation that we can all appreciate, Sakurai is playing 4D Chess and winning.

Then Nintendo decides to troll Sakurai one more time and leaks the company of FP5

Damn, they just killed it off like that? This ain't even attached to a character. It's just "hey you know that really big capcom franchise everyone talks about when it comes to smash speculation? yeah here's some pngs, enjoy".

Like... Damn.

BOOOOO, ****ING BOOOO. Resident Evil just as Spirits is the lamest reality for the series to be in Smash. It has so much potential and is a huge series that should have a greater role in Smash. Super disappointed by this.

After seeing gameplay of Guilty Gear Strive, I have to wonder how interesting Sol would be at first glance since his core special attacks seem to be:
  • :GCB: Evocative of aerial Power Wave
  • :GCR::GCB: Basically Burn Knuckle
  • :GCU::GCB: Basically Shoryuken
  • :GCD::GCB: Basically Power Dive
True his normals would certainly make him unique in terms of playstyle but still...

Depends on what gameplay systems Sakurai decides to implement. Terry lacks the light and heavy normals that Ryu and Ken have but has three extra special moves instead for example.

That was again to set the stage up for character #5. Sakurai threw us a bone knowing how even more hungry we would be for character #5.

Uh.... no? Nintendo and Ubisoft have worked together before. Confused about what you mean here

How is saying that there's some buzz around Dante and then deconfirming him later not helpful? It gave a new talking point for DLC and then we were able to cross the name off. Unless you're looking for the name of DLC 5 only, which nobody is willing to give out yet, I'm not sure what else you're looking for.

Oh ****. Wow wow wow. That certainly feels like a deconfirmation. We're racking up quite the body count.

Guys! Guys! Wait!

What if these Spirits are a hint of someone from Resident Evil?

Watch that Nemesis gets confirmed for FP5. :shades:

So if Fighter 5 is indeed a Capcom character, it's either Phoenix Wright or Monster Hunter.

Not everyone's gonna be happy with that, but personally...

what t he actual ****
seriously

I mean I wanted Leon or Jill, I'm not upset but I didn't expect new 3rd party spirits from series like Resident Evil being announced like this

I honestly think a RE character is dead for Ultimate, I don't think we will have Leon or Jill in this game. I guess this rises Dante and Phoenix chances a lot.

It depends.

Base game spirits only deconfirm for character 5 but I'm not sure what this means going forward. I imagine that Capcom wanted Resi in somehow so they obliged.

If the DLC cycle goes on long enough then maybe they'll be in down the line but for Character no 5, I'm gonna say no.

Looks like it's Ametaseru and Phoenix Wright if we think Capcom's getting another fighter at this point.
