I suspect people interpreting something as an ostensible fan rule may be a side-effect of arguing in absolutes.
Well yeah, because FP1 was decided alongside the base game. This wasn't. And Jones isn't 100% right when we solely got RE as a spirit event.
If you're arguing/having a debate with someone, then yes, your post needs to accomplish something.
So was I, actually.
Who was I arguing with? I just said something is scummy. That's not an argument.
And they countered your point, and you countered, and then they countered.
Ok.
So what costume are you talking about?
Because you didn't address Ultimate in your post and you're posting on an Ultimate forum in a thread dedicated to the season pass you're currently criticizing. And your initial post I replied to implied that you'd forgotten that the first pass did the same. Seemed like you were ignoring that.
I uh
I would Say Geno and a Namco Character.
I have none because we don't know enough about their thought process at this current point in time.
Honestly even though I never played his games yet, I think Travis Touchdown is actually pretty likely.
A Capcom rep and a Gen 8 Pokemon rep were the first two I thought of. And man, if you hated the discourse around Byleth just wait until the people who thought they were in the clear from another one find out they were wrong. I mean, the discourse around everything sucks and the only reason I'm a part of it is because I hate myself a considerable amount, but it's gonna be bad.
Bandana Dee and Amaterasu.
The "protagonist" role of FE Awakening is arguably shared between Robin, Chrom and Lucina. It's not comparable to a character like Susie getting in before Kris.
Over Corvo?! You're crazy!
But they ARE here, so we didn't need more. Maybe if Roy, Lucina and Chrom had just been alt costumes for Marth, it wouldn't have been as much of a problem.
"I consider Dante to be a frontrunner for a newcomer in Smash Bros."
I mean if I had to pick only one yes but put em both in
I think we can expect a Capcom character and a Bandai Namco character. The former only got an Echo Fighter in the base game and nothing for the first Fighters Pass. The latter hasn't had a new character since Pac-Man was included in Smash 4's base game. Now may be the time we finally see additional characters from both.
I don't really want to commit to anyone specific since the pass has consistently surprised (as in the choices themselves and not knowing who was coming thanks to leaks), so I'm hesitant to give anyone above a 50% chance.
Hayabusa.
Nah, it's gotta be Corvo, as he reps multiple games. The iconic mask. Voiced by Garrett from Thief...
Travis Touchdown, now that he had actually striked back.
Travis Touchdown and Waluigi.
Lloyd, Phoenix, Dante, or possibly Monster Hunter. Maaayybe Sora.
Ah, I see the moderation team has developed divine taste.
Sora would likely be the best character..the amount of hype would eclipse any of the characters in the first pass, in my opinion..I mean, just look at how many requests Sora has had since Brawl. He'd be the perfect Joker-type of character to lead the Pass.
Honestly? No idea. Until we see who the first is, it's hard to say what kind of direction it'll go. Could be mostly Nintendo, or mostly third party this time around again. And even after the first, that hardly sets a pattern.
Dante, a Namco Rep, Hayabusa, Doomslayer, Geno, Travis Touchdown....actually nothing has changed really except I can knock Byleth of that list.
What about Mega Man Zero's version of Zero? A lot of moveset potential, a popular character, will be very different from Mega Man..
Speaking of Mega Man Zero, I'm excited to try the Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. It looks really fun and it's a game that drift can't ruin for me since D-pad is usable.
That Zero hardly ever gets any recognition despite being pretty amazing overall. Still though, I prefer MMX Zero. Zero is one of the characters, along with Raiden, Geese/Nakoruru, Alucard, Chun-li, Balder (if he takes front center again in Bayonetta 3), and Tails, that I’m sort of kinda half maybe expecting to be playable in Smash 6.
If they can work a deal with Disney, then yeah, I can see so many people be happy. Sora's not a character I want, but I won't deny he's popular. In that point of view, he's Square's absolute best choice. Though I'd pick Lara Croft for her legacy to gaming as a whole.
Certainly a loophole they could work with the MMX Zero being an AT. Though just like Geo and Volnutt, their chances would depend on whether or not a Spirit can be upgraded. But hey, if an FS cameo like Chrom can be playable, who's to say another Mega Man or Zero/Protoman can't work either.
It's just unfortunate that we've ended up getting so many DLC characters, most of which are and presumably will continue to be third-parties, and a character like Bomberman who otherwise would be killing it in terms of popularity and expectation has seemingly been taken out of the race before the additional pass(es) were likely on the table.
Yeah, out of the ATs, Bomberman, being from a totally unique franchise, is probably the hardest L we had to take. Despite most discussion being around Waluigi or even our dude Isaac.
You know I am surprised we have yet to get a basically Capcom vs Capcom fighting game, especially during periods when Marvel is dead like right now.
The only one I consider a true frontrunner is Heihachi considering his circumstances. Other than him I guess I might say Waluigi, I believe that if a promotion happens then Waluigi is one of the most likely characters to receive it.
