The thought just occurred to me that there are strangers out there whose favorite video game character and most wanted was Mario, and everything added to the game is a bonus. I envy those people.

Ya know, I DO have some of my favs in, like Bowser Jr, Kirby and Yoshi, but I never quite liked how they played, so I'm on the never-ending quest of getting a most wanted char with a moveset I do like.

I think though, at the end of the day, the trick is to just be happy about what you have. You'll take disconfirmations and the like much easier that way.

just got back, what happened while I was gone
Sora's in FP5 Limbo.

We got ourselves another suppose leak that FP5 might be Reimu, KOS-MOS or such due to relating to flowers or Doom Slayer being that his rabbit was named Daisy. Assuming the chance Vergeben and Sabi were wrong about the latter two.

We're so bored that we've decided to pretend a picture of Daisy surrounded by DLC characters on the official twitter is a hint towards who #5 will be.

So... not much.

What if they just arranged the pic like this?
:ultjoker::ulthero:: 2010s characters
:ultbanjokazooie::ult_terry:: 90s characters
:ultdaisy::ultpiranha:: Mario newcomers
So in other words, the DLC fighter Daisy is connected to is...Piranha Plant, not the upcoming one.

Pretending? The picture is weird as f cause Daisy doesn’t fit in.

Here is another thing for those of you that think the Daisy screenshot is a hint towards Arle.

The pose Daisy makes in the screenshot:




An official piece of artwork for Arle:




Again, I think people are reading too deeply into it, but I wonder why Arle was not the first thing that did not jump at people's minds. I am not even a Puyo Puyo or Arle supporter, and I quickly thought of this.

I dont think Takahashi ever explained the origin of the name but it definitely isn't flower. I think Elma is something to do with God given the events in the game and how she protects everyone. It is a reference to Mary in Xenosaga and Elma also resembles T-ELOS and KOS-MOS. I would be very interested to hear what they have to say about her in the future.

But Xenosaga really has a recurring theme with flowers. All these characters specifically are named after flowers: Shion, Juli, MOMO, Sakura, KOS-MOS (cosmos flower but also KOS-MOS means order as well)
Whether deliberate or a coincidence is up for debate, but Elma does not break the flower naming convention.

Because Arle is for good boys and girls... and most people want female characters that are not for good boys and girls. :troll:

Arle will be the one to fill the Lip shaped hole in my heart... if she's in of course.

Even if it's intentional foreshadowing, it's so vague that everyone is going to see what they want to see. I could easily go about convincing myself that Daisy means one of the characters I want is getting in, because there's like five Undertale characters who are royalty and associated with daisy-like yellow flowers. But that doesn't mean I would be right. This picture of Daisy is practically a Rorschach Test for smash speculators.

Does Daisy being there mean the character is named after a flower? Just associated with flowers? That it's a girl? That they're royalty? That the character is a brunette? That they wear lots of yellow and orange? Who knows! People will cherry pick whichever of those descriptors applies to a character they prefer.

The fandom sure is going to get blown out of the water so hard, when the character isnt one of the 5 characters people constantly talk about.
And who would those be?
As far as I know, every single commonly talked about character has been deconfirmed implicitly or explicitly.

Except like... Fortnite Jonesy

I don't know if any indies could get in. The biggest ones are already out, but for Shantae, it's only if Spirits are considered to be deconfirmations.

I think AntagonisticGalaxyCetacea is trying to imply that it's a character that isn't commonly talked about.

Phoenix Wright and Travis have both been disconfirmed.
Phoenix isn't deconfirmed totally yet. He just exists in a kind of limbo state where one leaker is saying "no he's not in", a second leaker is saying "don't believe that first leaker", and the third leaker refuses to comment on anything.

I remember hearing that Vergeben deconfirmed all Capcom characters, Phoenix included.
Verge hasn't said anything in days.

Quote would be a fitting one considering Cave Story kind of lead the charge of the whole Indie boom.

I still think it would be a good idea to dig up a bunch of old 4chan leaks that mention FP5 and the fighter isn't any of the **** deconfirmed so far; after that someone should tally up how often certain names are mentioned.
