Right now we're waiting to see what content comes with the Hero DLC. If the Geno and Chocobo costumes come with Hero, then the theory will become much more convincing. On the other hand if Hero does not come with Square Enix costumes from Smash 4, it will damage the credibility of the theory.
Mii costumes on average come with about 6-7 costumes. Most of the time anyway. What other new Square costumes are you guys expecting to see? Besides the obvious Slime hat.
Crono and Sephiroth possibly, if that 7 names list is anything to go by. Those two are probably Costumes and/or Spirits.
Besides a slime hat, the most obvious things would be for the Geno and chocobo costumes to return as stated above. I could also see us getting some of the DQ heroes that didn't make the cut a la the persona costumes. I could potentially see a mallow costume happening as well. I'd like to say more Final Fantasy costumes but I kinda doubt that will happen because of the way Square Enix is.
SLIME T-SHIRT BABEE
Not holding much hope out for Spirits at this point. Joker came with just Persona 5 spirits and then the various costumes.
Could just be randomly patched in like Peachette and the Labo Spirits
Yet we also just got Dragon Quest Heroes, the biggest gaming icons in Japan and some of the more predictable characters based on sales data/franchise popularity. I agree the next two characters can be anyone, but that doesn't mean they won't be one of the "predictable" choices.
I'm in the same boat. If we got anything past the previous stuff and DQ content I'd be thrilled, but very surprised. Even if we could land any more FF7 content, that'd be a huge coup. IPs in excess of that, like Chrono Trigger, Bravely, Nier, Tomb Raider, etc. would shock me.
Box theory.
Yeah this is partly why I'm kind of a bit iffy with the whole mii costume theory. Last time with Square we only got the Geno Mii costume and Chocobo hat, so I'm not as sure about how much ball they will be willing to play this time. We might get the aforementioned Smash 4 Mii costumes back and a Slime hat for sure, the others we will probably have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other missing third party mii costumes get included within those packs as well to bring everything up to the average number.
I’d love to have all 8 octopath travelers as a spirit battle or as Mii costumes.
The most likely candidate is an AT. Who would they even add at this point? Frogger?
Actually now that you mention it. Is Konami just not going to get any mii costumes at all? Not even a Bomberman brawler or Alucard sword fighter or something...?
I think a lot of it is a combination of still having a bad taste about Konami from their actions a few years ago (there's a reason Snake was the big reveal for Everyone Is Here) as well as Capcom just having tons of IPs that would make great Smash characters.
The next most famous character of Konami is Bomberman who is already an assist. Next in line would be Goemon, who is much more niche in the west. Frogger was big back in the day, but he was the disadvantage of not having a identifiable design. The only other comparable characters in terms of iconicness, is pyramidhead who I really, really doubt would be included into smash.
Goemon and Master Higgins are the only ones I can think of, honestly. People were hoping for Bomberman, but we got 2 Castlevania reps instead; which made sense to me since Bomberman is from Hudson an not a Konami original
I think they'll get some, just later. None of the third party costumes were in the base game for Smash 4 or Ultimate.
That's a fair point. Goemon would be awesome. Shame he's rather niche. It'd be killer to get a new remix of Go! Goemon Impact!
Yeah, I'm going in with 0 expectations for that. There's no telling how much stuff we'll get at all. I think this is a situation of "lower your ecpectations, then be pleasantly surprised" for me.
In Smash? Or in general?
Yeah, I mean... they were never a guarantee, with Snake out of Smash 4 and all. That said, their most requested character is an AT. They do have other choices (Zone of the Enders, Silent Hill, Frogger, Twinbee, Mystical Ninja), but I severely doubt most of them for various reasons.
Silent Hill and Contra are certainly the biggest franchises left from Konami that hasn't appeared in Smash, but I give the edge to Contra as Konami seems to at least do more with that franchise recently. A Contra collection was released on the Switch, and a new game in the series was announced at E3 (although it looks butt ugly). I'm sorta surprised Bill Rizer isn't in the game as an AT though, but there's still a feasible chance we could see Smash Bros x Contra, albeit a pretty small chance.
I do think we'll get some Konami Mii Costumes at some point even if there won't be a 4th Konami rep. Maybe they could sell some Castlevania & Contra costumes if Ryu Hayabusa makes it in the Fighter Pass. Even though the Mii stuff are sold separately, they could sell those costumes as a Retro Mii Costume pack (and maybe even a Gray Fox mii costume for some Ninja related content as well).
The Hero from DQ 1, 2, 6, 7 and 10 and Geno (and maybe Chrono).
Hopefully Banjo comes with a Master Chief Mii costume.
To be honest, I wouldn't use this as strong evidence in itself. Sabi isn't told everything, after all. She's just one of many leakers.
Wait, does Sabi know about the next fighter or it is just a reminder that the paragon leak was fake?
I’m willing to bet it was just the latter
We don't know if she knows the next fighter. Given thats she is under a Cease and Desist from Nintendo. She's not allowed to leak anything from Nintendo, or at least for the time being.
Okay, that's a lot more clear than what you said earlier. One leaker not saying it I wouldn't take too seriously. Nobody else backing it up, yeah, that makes a huge difference. I don't believe it for other reasons, but it feels dead to me now too. Thanks for the explanation.
And there it is, that's one down at least
