It's also worth noting that predicting a DQ protagonist with female alts was not overly commonplace either. People thought it could happen... no one said it would happen. He got the DQ protagonist correct, but he didn't really go against the grain. It's Japan, and there were already claims of a SE character.
At least I've been starting to support Nakoruru before people thought it was the "cool" thing to do. Can't say I put much stock into that otherwise, but at least we'll find out for sure in a few months or so.
Waluigi Pinball.
Luckily there's a track for it, though I'm sure they'd do another remix for funsies.
Pretty sure there also was the Nintendo VR stuff.
I still don’t find that so impressive that I’ll believe him about the Fighter Pass that other notable leakers (besides the Paragon leak) have no idea about.
Go home guys, Japanese is cancelled.
He claimed this back in October, before "Brave" was found in the data and before Vergeben claimed that SE was getting a second character.
I think that Terry Bogard is more likely if we are getting an SNK character because he is more iconic and popular.
I feel like if we get a 2nd fighters pass then Rayman would have a good shot if Ubisoft were to get a rep since I don't think spirits would matter then. Also if Banjo is anything to go by, they're gonna go with the choice that fans want the most rather than just look at what franchise from Ubisoft sells the most
Keep in mind that Vergeben was exactly like this during DLC speculation until he finally found out that Erdrick was in. We should at least keep the person under consideration because they could end up giving us a solid answer at a later date.
Although, I agree this makes the leaker more credible (His riddle like format is still weird though), you are incorrect about Vergeben.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me why this source can’t describe to us what this “female fighting character” looks like. He said she has “projectiles” but has he even told us what these projectiles are?
Besides that, the pattern of "main character first" has yet to be broken (Unless one considers Professor Hector the main character of the ROB games, but even so he hasn't been shown in Smash at all...)
Well, the new Samsho game could potentially end up being SNK's best and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if SNK had the opportunity to speak to Nintendo to have a rep (from Samurai Shodown) in Smash depending on its success.
I think in terms of SNK candidates, I would say I'm fine with either Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui or Nakoruru.
Whilst Haohmaru is considered as the main protagonist of Samurai Shodown, he is not quite as popular as Nakoruru.
I think the person missing something is this Mr. H. Maybe the H stands for Hoax.
Anyone from Undertale.
I think if Elma got in it would be after the Fighter Pass. But it would be sweet if when she got announced we get a Xenoblade X port for the Switch.
Fun theory, but there are some issues with it.Veering away from the recent "leaks", here's my extra two cents on a possible dlc theory scenario (conspiracy HARD).
What if Sakurai, within the two dlc reveals in the past E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, already teased the last two fighters?
The reveal for Dragon Quest's Hero started off with Dharkon appearing onscreen. Now, upon further thought, an idea came to mind. There is in fact a notorious character who possesses a weapon that shares a distinctive quality to Dharkon (namely the eye). Below exhibits A and B.

The initial appearance of Dharkon in Hero's reveal may have potentially hinted at none other than Nightmare from Soul Calibur as one of the two remaining DLC fighters. Namco-Bandai only having Pac-Man as its sole roster representative, the demonic swordsman could be the second rep. Certainly the fact that he's a "swordsman" may be seen with disapproving eyes, but his play style could be a vicious one (like in SC). Think, "what if Ganondorf's moves were mainly sword actions, with stance changes?". In addition to, they could give him Siegfried alt skins, and in regards to play-style, I suppose their Soul Calibur 2/3 iterations would be best since they pretty much shared the same moveset.
Now, in regards to Banjo-Kazooie's reveal trailer, it is know that considerable part of it was a repeat from King K. Rool's reveal trailer, prior to the game's launch. Both took place of course within the jungle setting (namely DK Island). Also, in both trailers before the actual fighters appeared, King Dedede and Duck Hunt (respectively) removed their disguise, trolling spectators. However, in order to recreate the expected fighters' silhouettes, they used certain items. King Dedede used what seemed to be a Kremling skull or mask, while Duck Hunt used red feathers. Both a mask (in this case a wooden mask) and feathers, if used together could make a distinctive mask which is well known among Bandicoot fans. Following are Exhibits C, D, and E.

The concept of "disguise", the "jungle" setting, the "mask", the "feathers", adding the external factors of N'Sane Trilogy (available now), and Crash Team Racing (coming soon), and one of the remaining DLC fighter tab colors potentially being "orange"; the trailer may have subliminally hinted at Crash Bandicoot also being one of the last remaining DLC fighters.
Apologies for this crazy theory tho.
Noooo god dammit don't shatter my dreams for those being the final two...
To be honest I'd find any Soul Calibur rep kinda disappointing, considering the competition. I don't think Soul Calibur is a series that needs to be in Smash.
Just in terms of my own enjoyment?
