Gonna disagree. What actually helps narrow down speculation is telling us who FP 5 is. That's how we narrowed down Erdrick, Banjo, and Terry. All this has done is made us consider new characters in a wide slew of gaming franchises. However, we have nowhere near the information to accurately guess FP 5. In conclusion, it's a goose chase and we're falling for it.
See the thing is with this is that the overcomplication of multiple factors to even allude to a single DLC character demonstrates how much they see fit to make up unsupported ideas and purposeful convolute a situation so that when they are factually incorrect, they are able to backtrack with ease on one of their many fabrications.
Well yeah, because we thought the FP would be a checklist of spiritless Nintendo characters, upcoming Nintendo games, what all the Kids These Days like, etc. It's none of those three, so it's no wonder someone wouldn't think ultra-popular game=guaranteed Smash newcomer.
And the irony about this slow day is that somehow I still don't have time to put my Christmas tree.
I would argue that Verge’s credibility during base game speculation is irrefutable, other than the supposed “Minecraft content.” However, I can’t exactly say I 100% trust him when it comes to DLC. He did not leak Piranha Plant (despite claiming he knew the whole time) or Joker, DID leak Erdrick correctly (which makes sense due to him potentially being a base game fighter), but only backed Banjo and Terry after they were leaked by someone else more credible first. I’m not saying that Verge is wrong about his disconfirmations, as we simply don’t know yet, but we shouldn’t base our entire speculation off of someone’s past credibility unrelated to our current situation. Remember that Verge also backed Star Fox Grand Prix and Pikmin 3 for a certain direct. He is not infallible and has fallen for fake sources before.
He's in
It just means that FP5 is gonna be a character outside of the usualyl discussed ones. To say that there is "literally no one left" is horribly reductive.
And if they deined to give us Europeans London Life this time around.
He's in

Seriously though you have a weird definition of narrowing things down.
It just means that FP5 is gonna be a character outside of the usualyl discussed ones. To say that there is "literally no one left" is horribly reductive.
I doubt it, he said series not roster. It would be redundant to say new to the roster when "everyone is here" new to the roster would be obvious. He also said the characters in the fighters pass would be just like Joker from Persona 5. So if you analyze what Joker is... He is third party, completely new to the series as a whole right down to his franchise never being featured with so much as a PNG. Now compare that to the rest of the known fighters pass... They all (so far) fit that criteria. I've been saying this since 2018's game awards, and I'd get bombarded with "it was just PR talk it meant nothing" but I'm 4/5 on this so far and people still don't think it's an accurate postulation.
Loz18 vibes what?
To be fair, unlike Loz18, Verge has never outright claimed that KOS-MOS is the character. All he said is that he wasn't entirely sure whether or not he could deconfirm her as well since the licensing is tricky, and that he was by no means insinuating that she was likely.
I’d generally prefer that we get more new franchises but I think Zelda (Impa), Sonic (Eggman) & Final Fantasy (Terra or Sephiroth) could all use a new rep. Those series are all way too big/important for how little characters they have, content in general for FF.
Well there's one bit of news, Seth is back in Street Fighter with a new look.
I mean. . . they basically have. Neither Vergeben nor Sabi have really said much of anything since a bit before the Game Awards.
The Wario series has so much potential for another newcomer that it's ridiculous. The series just screams newcomer potential with characters like Ashley, Kat & Ana, and 9-Volt.
Remember when loz went from 100% Skull Kid to “maybe”?
How is Kos-Mos's licensing an issue? She's a Namco character.
I guess they learned their lesson.
KOS-MOS is a Namco-Bandai character, first and foremost. No matter which design is chosen, you still would need to go through Namco-Bandai first, which flies in the face of his previous disconfirmation. I severely doubt that his source would even prioritize her relatively unknown and obscure cameo appearance in Xenoblade 2 over her actual origins as a character.
London Life was in Last Specter though.
Who's this Loz18 though and why did people believe them?
Kunio is possible, bruh.
He had information about E3 (probably worked there or something), and then had no other information, so he just started spewing lies until Burb exposed him for good.
It's a real shame Nintendo has a major league "(side) characters don't matter much, gameplay does" policy. I understand where Miyamoto et al. are coming from, but Geno is far, far from the only Nintendo character who could use another game or Smash appearance.
I actually really like the idea. Yea, Seth commiting Rule 63 is weird*, but it makes a ton of sense for an AI / robot to jump to the nearest thing possible.
I hated fighting him in arcade mode in Street Fight 4.
If images weren't broken I'd be damned to say Capcom ripped off their own game at 0:41.
You wanna test how unproductive this deconfirmation stuff is? Tell me right now who FP 5 will be based on the info we have. You get one specific guess only and it has to be a character, not a series or company. You don't get to backtrack.
According to Pushdustin, the "We want to add more new worlds" from the Terry direct was a mistranslation. What Sakurai said was something closer to "We want to expand the world of Smash", so a character doesn't necessarily need to be new to the series. Likewise, Xenoblade was before the cut-off for the base roster, not DLC.
If that is the case, please explain why we have a Rex Mii Costume bundled with the FP.
That was at launch and initial planning for DLC. We're now heading into new DLC soon here that would have recently been decided on, allowing opportunities to rethink potential choices.
We were talking about FP5.
Ah, my bad, then. assumed this was about DLC in general.
You're talking with the wrong person for that, lmao. I've been watching all of these deconfirmations with nothing but glee, because my most wanted has consistently remained standing, and even has a few new points in their favour depending on how you interpret Vergeben's actions and the confusion around KOS-MOS. It's Elma. Which I don't say with absolute certainty, mind you, but rather as me making an educated guess. Which, wouldn't you know it, is what speculation should be.
Sakurai has stated that he hopes that the Rex Mii costume makes you feel like you're playing Rex. Therefore, we can conclude that Rex would've been a Mii Swordfighter clone, because that's 100% what the statement implied. There is no room for error.
Where would they fight tho
