Yeah, I feel like at this point, Steve would be ahead, but the sheer idea of Chief no longer being a pipe dream is amazing already.
I agree. There's no way we'd see this much representation if they were still doing trophies instead of spirits.I have to imagine all these spirits are just ways the devs can integrate as many series as possible into Smash, with only Sakurai still caring as much about their actual in-game function as from where they hail.
The influx of third-party spirit events over the last few months when compared to the first almost year of less frequent first-party stuff gives me the impression that they deliberately began planning for these after having finalized the selection for the DLC, and now they're free to steadily incorporate series that didn't make it to the playable stage.
I'm not a PS4 guy, so I don't remember any of those games except DOOM existing.
Fittingly enough, if they did one for Three Houses, we'd likely get spirits for Petra, Dedue, Lorenz, and Flayn to complete the trios on each phase of Garreg Mach.
Aren't Phoenix Wright and Dante already in Marvel vs. Capcom? Let's be honest, I haven't played much of it myself, but one of you guys have to remember it exists.
Either you mistranslated Part 5 to Persona 5 (because JoJo Part 5 = Golden Wind) or you're just trying to be smart.
I’m not even kidding I would actually die during the reveal trailer
If we're getting a JoJo character in Smash, no way we're getting anyone else before the best JoJo character...
Not going to lie, ma chère ("my dear" in French), I thought you were going to show a picture of Jotaro, but when I saw Speedwagon, I just died of laughter. Speedwagon is a good character though. He did support two main characters before he died of a heart attack at age 89.If we're getting a JoJo character in Smash, no way we're getting anyone else before the best JoJo character...

The first JoJo game was about Part 3. Not Heritage to the Future in '98, but the SNES JRPG in '93.
If it's both then it's at least slightly spiced up by having to fight two Mega Man, maybe even respawning if you don't take them both out in a similar timeframe like the revive mechanic.
Byleth didn't seem like a pass closer either but look where we are now
Still Crash is one of those characters that would be revealed at E3.
Interesting. I'd like to hear your reasoning on why you feel that way about Crash. Is it because you expect him to be in the middle like Banjo? Or do you see him being saved at the end as some Big reveal?
And Palutena, too?
This mostly just reminds me how conspicuous Bomberman's omission is.
For one, he was wrong about a Direct date that he just reaffirmed last night.
No Direct announcement happened today, so the chances of a Direct tomorrow are absolutely minuscule.
Oh nooooooo, a guy who was supposed to be valid and be legit wasn't legit all this time?
If only we had learned that people like this existed sooner!Probably because E3 is where Nintendo draws hype the most. Ridley and Banjo got showed there.
I mean Crash just sounds like an character who'd be an big reveal for an special event. Gaming icon, has an legacy, big in the 90s as the former Sony mascot with an 3 way rivarly with Mario and Sonic.
Well, I guess Mandy could not after all.
It's not like those characters were the only ones revealed at their respective E3s. Hero was obviously revealed alongside Banjo at E3 to appease both western and eastern audiences at once (although JP liked Banjo as well). Palutena was just shown off at the end of the Direct because E3 2014 was sort of the big blow out in regards to the custom moves feature. They revealed Mii Fighters at the beginning so it made sense to end it with Palutena. We still did get Pac-Man at E3, even if it was behind closed doors.
It's especially damning for him because this would mark the first prediction he made (since his account was discovered) to be wrong. Basically, it makes it far more likely to be a private twitter trick where he made a bunch of predictions and deleted the wrong ones before making his twitter public.
To be fair, who else besides the third-parties, Villager, and maybe the Mario characters, would be noticeably better than Palutena? At the very least, Palutena was probably one of the best remaining characters they could've revealed, because Lord knows Robin, Shulk, or Duck Hunt would not do nearly as well.
