If Bubsy ever joins Smash bros as a fighter, you'd be fighting the controls trying to get him to stay on a platform because of how wacky his air movement would be.

Bubsy has one of the fastest running speeds in the game, but as a trade off he is the only fighter who gets fall damage when he doesn't glide.

So an ad for the PS5 has been leaked and mentions an event. We could be getting and digital E3 perhaps. A good chance of an double reveal then of the ARMS rep and FP7.

Since people seem to be keen on the idea of promoting Spring Man to playable status, I'm curious. What other assist trophies (besides Waluigi) would you want to see promoted?

Not an assist, but I've been yearning for Ganon to be promoted to playable.

While technically not an assist, having Mecha-Fiora be playable would be a dream come true

Shovel Knight for sure, my most wanted third party by a wide margin. Him getting in as an assist trophy is the ultimate “so close, yet so far” situation.

Also, while I’m not personally invested in Golden Sun, I think Issac deserves his chance.

For fighter #7 I'm expecting a strong fan request, Waluigi or Geno I guess, or a popular third party like Crash, which would be very fitting for a supposed E3 reveal.

There is the classic blue design. I thought that's what supporters wanted?
Click to expand...
That's what I've been campaigning for, but I had the Ultimate model and figured it couldn't hurt to see "what if the OoT design was used."

What probably further eased me into the thought experiment was how the Oracle design was essentially the Ocarina Ganon wearing classic armor.

When I want a new Zelda character, I don't want "new". Ganon is cool, yeah, but goddamn dude the series has six characters and 1/2 and 1/3 respectively hold the same identity, I want new new new.

Basically, I'm in Tingle gang.

So would Oracle!Ganon turn into Oracle!Ganondorf as a Final Smash then? :p

But seriously, Pig Ganon would be amazing. He's the only outright missing core Zelda character(playable-wise in Smash. Classic Ganon doesn't even outright appear in Smash as a Spirit. OOT Ganon is extremely different from the Trident-wielding magical badass). Not to say we don't have other missing important ones(some that are one-off, while others are recurring) either. There's so much damn potential among the Zelda cast. It doesn't help the Links are made to be similar to each other, while barely showing off materials from other games. BOTW Link is the first one to really give a nod to the game since OOT Link and TP Link. Young Link and Toon Link barely showed off their games in comparison to Link's three designs...

Ara ara,

Nothing's changed in DLC discussion. Damn.

If we're getting a male character as FP7 I'm off to a bad start. Expecting another all-male pass to stress my already stressed life.

Things are always the worst when your in the present of it. Looking back at it and you’ll feel a lot better about it. Looking forward to other things that’ll make you happy makes it easier. Remember that and keep pushing on and remember everyone here is here for you and you’ll be just fine. Just stay strong Pumpkaboo.

There's a ****load of female characters being speculated on for FP6 alone. Don't start.

So who is y'alls' left field pick prediction for #77?
Click to expand...
The fighter pass was decided before the pandemic. And this specific Smash title has paid attention to the western public (Dark Samus, K.Rool, Ridley, Banjo and Cuphead for example).

With E3 being a major event happening in Los Angeles, I'd think #7 is a well-known fighter in the West, just like they did with Banjo (Maybe Crash, Rayman, Doomguy, I don't know), or at least a world-renowned character (As well as were Ryu, Pacman, Snake or Mega Man at the time).

The longest wait period for Smash dlc so far :ultpacman:
Click to expand...
Joker to Hero and Banjo was slightly longer.
But it feels longer since we all knew Hero early.
But on the bright side, this waiting timeline does hint at a double reveal.
