I know a lot of people like Ninja Gaiden and Ryu (myself included, ever since I watched AVGN as a kid), but at this point he's more associated with DoA -- and I really hope that game stays out of Smash, given recent practices by Tecmo.
As much as I want Sora I can't get behind your reasoning, and even if I could the circumstances required for anyone to consider him a lock are very extreme. Leaked gameplay footage with unique properties that would be impossible to emulate through mods extreme.
But another insider who’s being treated as credible said there was a direct next week as well as the indie direct that was announced today
And not only that, if Sora gets in Nintendo would have to get on board with Disney.
Are you legit ignoring the evidence that @Bolderousness provided which proves that general directs can still happen in April?
I'm still thinking until June given Sakurai's statement of "Taking some time" and so far its proven itself unless we don't get anything next week.
A general direct doesn't need to feature Smash to warrant existing.
It's pretty much this next Direct or bust. No character then, no character until E3.
For Dante, we have things like Holy Water and Crosses used for Belmonts, as well as demons for both Bayo and Ganon's final Smashes. And while Resident Evil is a bigger franchise than DMC, Halo is bigger than Banjo-Kazooie and they got in before Master Chief. Hell, RE is Capcom's biggest franchise overall, surpassing Mega Man and Street Fighter as well, but Jill didn't get in before Mega Man or Ryu did she? A lot of people are gonna expect popular characters, being expected doesn't actually effect their chances in a positive or negative manner.
Yeah, I remember when Jack Sparrow outwitted Master Xehanort via parley and he had to give up the X-Blade. Completely robbed us of the final boss battle. Thanks Disney.
And don't get me started on the "Olaf is an Organization spy" twist.
Are you literally using Smash Bros as an argument for why a Direct wouldn't happen? Dude, the February direct last year didn't even reveal anybody. There's being cautious and then there's being absurd.
I knew something was up when his voice changed to Leonard Nimoy's.
It at least hinted at 3.0 being big, and showed off Joker's model.
Not exactly the same. Kasumi I'm pretty sure is the lead character of DoA, while Nakoruru, despite being popular, is still a secondary character in Samurai Shodown, Haohmaru is the lead character.
Yeah, a Smash announcement is quite indeed really likely for a March or April Direct.
While I agree with your points, I'd be willing to bet Sora was at least Top 20 in the Ballot overall, if not higher.
We just had a spirit event last week. This week should shape up to be a Tourney Event instead, but whatever the theme is for it has yet to be seen. I'm just wondering when the eventual Fire Emblem tourney gets announced since at some point they're gonna do this.
I think he's referring to KT's handling of DoA 6 currently with its overpriced DLC (which actually costs around $500 USD and not $2000 since DOA 6 is also F2P and Steam bundles up all the prices of the characters and other things with it to make it look a lot more bloated than it already is) and the $1 hair color change microtransactions. Koei-Tecmo does have an actual problem with how they've handled DLC with most of their recent games, and DOA 6 happens to be the most egregious of them all. Pretty much the only thing I could say that sounds positive about it is that it isn't loot boxes and nowhere near the level of supporting a corrupt regime, but it still doesn't defend Season Passes that cost more than the full game itself.
Next thing you know, leakers and insiders will be getting their sources through onlyfans
Heck Nitro Fueled, a remake of a Crash racing spin-off game from 20 years ago has done incredibly good numbers, and is the second most talked about racer on the market right now behind Mario Kart. Market relevance doesn't necessarily mean a spot (RE only has spirits after all), but the between the original N'Sane Trilogy release in 2017, the successful ports of that in 2018, and CTR's release in 2019, the franchise is in the healthiest state's its been in for 15 plus years.

Wasn't there a character who was cut from Smash 4 DLC because of licensing issues or something? It's entirely possible that was Sora given how popular a request he is.
It's all the more ominous with HAL staring right at you.
Captain Shwampy: Let me read the forum posts, Smashboards.
These posts made me remember the time Portal had a crossover with 2001:A Space Odyssey out of nowhere in a LEGO Game.
fixed it for you
Huh, it seems I misremembered the quote a bit.
They certainly are aware of swordfighter complaints and Yoshi committing tax fraud, but at the same time found it shocking that Banjo would be so well-received.
I question the Banjo part, because fan demand is literally the only reason why Banjo got added in the first place.
