Yup, that was my point. I don't think Nintendo cares about "killing people's wallets", like the user I was replying to suggested.

Ah, misread your intent there. My apologies.

I still don't think it's "Killing peoples' wallet"- then they'd be EA levels of agressive. But still, I fully understand.

Wait, you don't mean that Darth Vader's deconfirmed?!

Far from Smash
Since I kind of don't see Spirits as being a meaningful addition (nor the crappy, standard, type of Mii costumes) because they don't really drive much conversation about a series, I'd focus these on series I'm not as invested in seeing otherwise:

Sega: Ecco the Dolphin
Atlus: Catherine
Bandai-Namco: Tales of... (with a second event for Tekken)
Square-Enix: Kingdom Hearts
Microsoft: Minecraft
SNK: World Heroes
Konami: Beatmania (there's... less I'm especially keen on deconfirming here...)
Capcom: Monster Hunter

Catherine and World heroes would be neat to have spirits for.

Here's a fun and depressing game to play: We are probably going to get more third party spirit events in the future, so by using the companies already present in smash which games would be best to get 4 spirits on the board?

Sega: Valkiria Chronicles
Atlus: Shin Megami tense (as in not Persona, just the demons)
Namco: Klonoa
Square: The world ends with you
Microsoft: Minecraft
SNK: Metal Slug



Yeah, I wish music would show up at least.
Click to expand...
Sega: Either Yakuza or Valkyrie Chrinicles.
Atlus: I’m just going to say Snowboard Kids for no reason other it being a game I liked to play as a kid. Shin Megami Tensei is (much) more likely though.
Namco: Honestly, I feel as though this is going to be Tekken's fate.
Square: Star Ocean, Tomb Raider, and/or perhaps even Nier (much as I would dread it). Though I would gladly take FF spirits from other games in the series, to compensate for Cloud's situation in the base game.
Microsoft: Probably Minecraft.
SNK: Metal Slug seems like a perfect fit.

Me: opens up this thread and sees everyone saying Yakuza should go to the spirit board instead of getting a playable fighter
Me:
Please... I already lost RE, I can't stand the thought of my other most wanted being slaughtered next

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Y'all seen this? This is from a good friend of Sabi's, who has access to the same knowledge Sabi does.

They confirmed in the replies this is an actual deconfirmation.

EDIT:

Sabi brings it up too.

Dark Souls time, baby!

EDIT: I'm half kidding. I don't put much trust in what Sabi says, but I've always thought Dark Souls has a somewhat decent shot. There's also still Heihachi and a ton of other Namco characters.

I have to wonder what the licensing would be like for a "Definitive Edition". Like, what was the deal for Cloud negotiated as? Just for Smash Ultimate? Any game that has "Smash Ultimate" in the title?

If that's the case, it almost would be nonsensical to start from scratch and cut half the roster. I'm just picturing it...port the roster over with DLC included, and then add in some characters that previously weren't playable (Geno, Leon, Rex, etc). That's, like, a dream scenario.

Granted, I doubt it'll happen. Going forward I think we're going to see Ultimate backed with content for at least the next year to keep the profits and interest going. While they aren't adding necessarily the biggest of the big, it keeps interest up.

Though, I would still argue that while surprises keep things interesting, I don't think there's a problem with adding characters people "expect" among speculators. I think there's something worthwhile to a good mix.

EDIT: Oof, Lloyd is out too?

Well, at least I was prepared for this one.

So...Lloyd is now out of the running, yet Bandai Namco hasn't been ruled out completely?



Very interesting...

Absolutely safe capsule breaks "Spirists deconfirm"?

It's the only Porky-related Spirit in the game, and there is no hint that it's meant to represent him specifically. No mention of the Porky Statue or Porky as a boss, either, which would've made the most sense since all of the Brawl bosses were brought back as Spirits.

I'll be perfectly frank, I don't give two ****s about what Sabi feels is happening. If she said "I know for sure Tales isn't getting in", fine, I don't really trust her but I'd get seeing that as a disconfirmation.

But this? I'll just wait for Vergeben to verify. Dude might be a jackass, but he's straight to the point at least.

Take a shot of alcohol every time a potential frontrunner pops up gets deconfirmed for Challenger #5.

Just because this speculation is amusing.

I've been super iffy on Sabi lately and I certainly dont believe her 100% but if this is really true that Lloyd is dead for FP5 then my most wanted KOS-MOS gets in.

I wont start celebrating yet until Verge proves Namco is FP5 tho.
