Didn't Sakurai picked Piranha Plant because there was too many good guys on the roster and wanted some more villains? I remember seeing a tweet talking about that.
True but DR would be a new franchise if it gets added into there so I am not sure where that'd lie with it being a new World and all.

There's no reason Monokuma couldn't incorporate Danganronpa mechanics like truth bullets into his moveset. It would fit the series I think all things considered.

Also another interesting thing I thought about with Monokuma and general Smash discourse in general. Would (BIG FIRST DANGANRONPA GAME SPOILERS)
Monokuma be considered a female rep?
Monokuma is a "daddy" to the Monokubs, so no.
There's Monomi fron Dangan 2, but she's much less popular.

Well
Yes and no, She likes to get into character when she's controlling Monokuma, and the character of Monokuma is male, even thought the person that is controlling him is female... uh... dammit, I'm not sure as what it counts

I also remember that when Blizzard was asked about what character would they add in Smash, they said it would be "Diablo", and he's, well... literally Satan.

My safe prediction is:

Travis Touchdown, Crash, or Kunio-Kun.
while i don't want to shot down Kunio-kun and he certainly still has some chance even if arksysy would particulary push for Sol... why do you think he is a "safe" prediction? :s

not saying it couldn't happen.. but you seem to be pointing that people are expecting him :S

I know a pretty good lawyer who can do something about that.
Saul Goodman? Breaking Bad crossover makes sense for Smash. *Comes up with some very silly crackpot theory and zooms in on pictures, quoting random people and/or articles to make it seem like it has legitimate merit* (Yes I'm making fun of this community, but in a teasing way)

This is where I’m at at this point and I’m dis regarding the deconfirms from all suposivly sources

Doom guy (if artifact theory is infact legit which I think it is but not holding my breath for it)
Travis touchdown
Dante or Phoenix wright
Ryu hayabusa
Arle
Nightmare

Those is what I have (but it could be anybody else as well)

If we're talking about FNaF then it won't take long until every gaming franchise is represented at Smash.
I'd like it to happen but it's super unlikely when even Sans only gets a costume and a song.

I think more believable predictions wouldn't hurt. I think even Danganronpa is a stretch already.

The brown in the artifact theory looks like a legitimate cropping failure but all of the green is due to image compression. You can see some blue blotches in there as well.

Based on the brown I think it's Dragonborn or Professor Layton.

Love how you word this like it's some kind of hot take.
Seeing as how it seems to be the Fortnite of the horror genre it's probably the majority opinion.

This.

So, assuming FP5's background is brown, I guess Color Theory was correct, as brown is a different color from the other DLC, but Rainbow Theory was wrong, as it specifically predicted FP5 would be orange to finish the rainbow.

The only two that fits that color would be Doom Slayer and Nightmare.

Anyone else?

If you live here in Canada or anywhere else with my timezone its 9:00 AM.

Color theory doesn't hint at any characters. Case in point, Roy using green.

Brown is quite literally a neutral color. So I guess it could fit just about anyone.
If based SOLELY on the color, Doom Slayer seems like the best bet.
But based on current evidence, it looks like Dante is taking the spot.
Unless it's a double reveal of Doom Slayer AND Dante.

i think they use the color that in most cases provides the best contrast for the character's overall design so the character pops more

sadly, they screwed up by making Hero's bg lavender, making him blend in a little

Its never happened before but to have them be in the same reveal trailer would be so fitting especially if Bayonetta is involved.
Hero and Banjo were revealed in the same Direct.
I don't mean two characters in one trailer.

The use of brown means it'll be a character originating from a series that made it big in the age of games using as many different shades of brown as they could.

Say hello to Soap.

The Atari 2600 had a brown chassis.
And his cowboy hat is brown.
Pitfall Harry confirmed!

I'd rather get Pokemon and Fire Emblem than most other things.
More people agree with this than you think.

Third-parties aren't bad or anything, but everyone is rooting for a different character. The odds of you getting the newcomer you want are significantly lower than they are with Nintendo characters.

I'm not super familiar with FNAF, is this in regards to which of the child's ghosts are controlling the animatronics in relation to the gender of the fictional character itself? Because if so, it's a bit different. Monokuma basically IS the character controlling him. Their personalities are identical and she was a big part of the design process.
