You might call yourself numbers 2, but for the number of times you argued alongside me against dumb "MUH DISNEY" and "MICKEY MOUSE KEYCHAIN MUH DONALDO AND GOOFY" you're still #1 in my heart-
NGL I would welcome Donald, Goofy and Mickey as NPC / assists to Sora. (I'm personally fine either way.)

Just so non-Smash players see Mario and Mickey in the same game and cause a massive "What?!"

Fighter 5 mistery is getting annoying already. Would be worse if there is no reveal at TGA.

Although somethin interesting that happened lately with the RE spirits and Sakurai comments, I'm getting the feeling the end of Ultimate DLC has been decided already, maybe enough for another pass but Im certain there's an end set already.
Sakurai might want some flexibility here - it's certainly possible, as said, that Sakurai and Furukawa have set an "Early possible end date" and any possible plans after that end date being gravy and up to if Sakurai wants to. What honestly bugs me is Sakurai stating that he wants to add as much as possible (at the Banjo presentation) - although it's certainly possible that end date is the limits or he's simply changed his mind.

Won't call anything definitive until Sakurai says something conclusive such as "This is the end". Whenever that happens. Could be 3 characters, could be more.

Does anyone agree the deconfirmations by Vergeben and Sabi is misinformation at this point? I definitely think so.
Verge feels like he's getting hardcore baited, but I'm a little more skeptical on Sabi. I just want whoever the source she has is to just say the character they heard already so we can get this deconfirmation garbage over with.

Team neutral, unless there is something to backup the misinformation argument then its silly to discard them.

Could they be wrong? yes. Do we have anything to discard them? No.

Sorry for the sudden off-topic, but I want to share something I found really awesome.

Someone at another thread has done an edit of Hero’s trailer, showing how it could have played if it turned out to be a double reveal alongside Sora:


I wanted to share the post over here because I am honestly impressed with it and wanted to give the person who did it a lot of support by sharing their work.

Gonna tag @Professor Pumpkaboo and @Nekoo so they see it too.
That edit was smooth as ****. This would have shattered the internet if it really happened.

People are onto us

We've become so predictable
Is the Game Awards really regarded as unimportant unless its relating to Smash? I thought last year was pretty fun. Mortal Kombat 11 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 being announced were the highlights for me

I did watch the Game Awards last year...

...my reactions did cause quite the noise over here.

Thankfully all of that and what caused it is in the past and this year it won’t happen again doh.


Also, I love Nitro Rad.

I’ll give Vergeben some credit for at least putting for these disconfirmations with confidence rather than dancing around stuff like Sabi does.

Could he legit be happening?...
Smash X Hollow Knight ?



Man I'd love to see the Knight in Smash (or Hornet). I don't think it's impossible i mean, Hollow Knight was a massive success (relatively speaking) and Nintendo seems to be on good terms with Team Cherry (not that it means anything but still... it could help). There's a lot of material in the game to make a great Smash moveset for the Knight and even if Silksong isn't out yet, i think there's more than enough stuff to make a good one for Hornet as well.

So without further ado, here's my in depth analysis on why the Knight or Hornet would fit all the criterias to be in Smash:

Fairly recognizable ✔
More importantly, would be fun to play ✔

There you go :p

Lets remember this could be another case Vergeben had been wrong as he was with an Square rep as the first DLC Pass fighter and Minecraft content.

Just something to note.

I think we're taking the Geralt/book thing to silly levels. Who here is literally going to look at Geralt from the Witcher series and react to him like, "OMG IT'S GERALT FROM THE WITCHER NOVELS!!!!!!!"

Like no. We're not idiots. We're going to recognize him as the video game dude, as shown with his many crossovers like in Soul Calibur 6.
That doesn't change the fact that he is ineligible because he debuted as a novel character. Agumon is in a similar situation, albeit in reverse.

Hell no, Keep that radioactive cancer as far away from Smash as possible
I’ll take the Fortnite community where everyone just has fun with the game and looks forward to future events or surprises over the community that tried to destroy my existence around Discord for wanting Saber and Pauline in their game any day.

Gerolt seems more like Jack O' Neil from the Stargate movie vs. Jack O' Neill from SG-1. If even that.
>_>
Your deliberate Final Fantasy misspelling won't get past me, GK. Unless you're talking about this. lmao

Book Geralt now has to compete with Henry Cavill's Netflix Geralt, who based his performance and characterization off of video game Geralt.

I also did not anticipate to see a f***ing SG1 reference in this topic.

There's literally someone else here with Kat in their username, and I'm the go-to Gravity Rush fan example every time lol. It is truly an honor.
They can @ you for that but they need to summon me for Claude and P. Kat for Okami.

You guys, obvs FP5 is Sakurai himself. Since FP5 was gonna be the last character, he wanted to put himself in his magnum opus and so he could beat everyone up. He’s also gonna make neutral B Kamehameha to troll Goku fans.

Fortnite is too pure for Smash.

Here’s my question doh:

Would Sakurai be a Mii or an Uncharted 4-tier realistic model?

Every time I see Nicalis do something with Cave Story I’m forced to remember just how scummy they’ve been with Pixel.
Reminder that Isaac players on Xbox One only recently got Afterbirth+ almost 3 years after the expansion first released
PS4 and Switch players also had to wait nearly a year for the last update for AB+
Also the 3DS and Wii U versions are still base Rebirth and crash frequently though I can excuse those two

I'm more inclined to believe Sabi over Verge, as she's not going all in on his kill list either at the moment.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Not to mention insiders are doubting him as well, and if Grinch leak and Banjo taught me anything, it's to never doubt the insiders.

Something keeps telling me that Verge is getting leakbaited. Wouldn't be the first time. Remember when he kept on going on about "Minecraft content"?

That's what makes Geralt such a gray area, IMO. Does he think that the origin of the character is more important then the most populat adaptation of that character?

Another example would be a character like Saber. Sure she originated in video games, but she is primarily known from FATE's anime adaptation.

IMO, you can't say Geralt makes complete total sense, and then say so does Saber. They are kind of like 2 characters who are in such a huge gray area, but you can only make sense of them 1 at a time.

I personally think Sakurai values origins more then the most popular format the character appears in. This makes Saber a possibility, but makes Geralt extremely unlikely.

Verge's new disconfirmations may be fake, especially considering that Verge has made incorrect claims in the past, such as that he claimed all the way back in June of 2018 that the game would have Minecraft content.

Sakurai never struck me as an Eminem fan but I'm curious to see him in action.
Sakurai loves his Eminem’s. Their neutral b had them rap at such a high speed that it beats the ripoff Eminem’s world record for fastest rapping. It will be announced alongside a remaster of M and M kart racing. Reveal trailerools like a woman is eating red em under a blanket but it’s actually red em cheering to himself about the
