I wouldn't be expecting too much honestly. We'll probably get something Smash related but there's no guarantee on what it'll be.

The most likely outcome is a thing like Joker or Terry: big reveal trailer, maybe with a glimpse of the 3D model, but then nothing gameplay-wise for a long time after. We're certainly not getting the next fighter dropped till like late august at the earliest so a quick reveal now with gameplay demo a few weeks later seems most likely.

At the same time, it could even be just a teaser like ARMS got. Just a quick aside in the direct saying "The next fighter will be from "GAME" or "COMPANY"" and we'll be stuck waiting again till probably next month sometime.

Man, regardless of who the next newcomer is (Dante), Min Min's totally unique design has my hopes up that they'll get the same treatment and be fun to play no matter who they are. If Sakurai can manage to Faithfully adapt a 3D fighter into 2D, and making them totally different from any smash character before her -- all while making her the only fun zoner in the game, I think he can do anything.

So does this HotGirlvideos69 person actually have credibility or are they just bandwagoning off of other people like MandyCan did?

Like what have they leaked in the past?

Yeh i personally just dont see a gen 8 pokeman happening in this fighter pass, i dont see why Nintendo would prioritise something like that when they know the swsh dlc will sell.

I think it'd be cool if Dante's special button was actually a fully-fledged moveset that used Ivory and Ebony instead of Rebellion/DSD. It would most definitely help his combo potential, since he effectively has a double-sized moveset. On the flipside, he'd have shoddy recovery, so he's an unstoppable combo monster when left unchecked but falls apart if his flow is interrupted.

Bayonetta hate has largely died down for three reasons.
  1. She is no longer bonkers broken.
  2. She's no longer the only "minor" third party and Smash fan's wants and desires have evolved to be more open to smaller third party characters.
  3. We got Ridley, K.Rool and Banjo, so accusations of her "stealing the ballot win" are now seen as pointless.
Yeah, that pretty much covers it.

or the sort of people who thought that it was impossible to include Ridley as a playable character because he was "too big".
You mean Sakurai?

As for why Incineroar got some hate, they weren't Banjo, Geno, Shadow, Chorus Kids and Mach Rider, people hated Incineroar for not being a fake leak and instantly confirming that the people who assumed Grinch was true were fooled
I just hated him cause he wasn't Decidueye...

HotGirlVideos69 predicted this

Clearly it means its a hot girl.

ITS HAPPENING

Ugh! Can we get ANY male representation in fighter pass 2? Gawd!

Imagine it's the 18th, two days before the supposed direct date. And the first announcement you see...

I just realized, this would be the first full Nintendo Direct of the decade.
And the leak to start it off is by hotgirlvideos69.

Try telling all that to anyone a year ago. No one would believe you.

I just hope it’s someone I’m fond of this time. Byleth and Min Min were characters I looked forward to but were incredibly disappointing on release. I just hope this one’s more my speed.

Still deeply hate the idea of a Gen 8 Pokémon coming in the Fighter Pass, but I kind of want them to rip that bandaid off and get it over with. I’m convinced it’s happening, I’d rather they just show them now instead of waiting til the end like they did with Byleth. At the very least it’ll put an end to the endless “which one will they choose” debate so we finally can stop talking about Pokémon.
I disagree, they should rip off the bandaid for every single character in the pass regardless of who it is

Hot girls makes this useless gay disaster leak if ya know what I mean

I would laugh my ass off, But if I had to be honest, While I'm still waiting for a traditional Nintendo direct, I personally wouldn't mind another Pokemon direct as long as it's Pokemon in Smash, Another cool spinoff or even a Remake/Let's Go of Diamond/Pearl or Johto.

It's difficult to say whether or not they're a bandwagoner quite yet. She made a tweet that just read that listed four dates: 5/14, 6/22, 7/7, and 7/14. The first two dates were the unveiling of the Origami King and the announcement of Sakurai presents Min Min respectively. After those two dates occured, the account started getting some attention and began talking about an upcoming Nintendo Direct. She really made it seem like it was going to happen on 7/7, but nothing happened that day outside of a minor Paper Mario update. She then claimed the Direct must've been delayed.

I guess we'll see if she's full of **** tomorrow.

Can't wait for "the next character is a mage in League of Legends" and being able to make jokes about champs like Cho'Gath, who can technically be built like mages.

Or maybe swap "mages" with "tanks" and watch people joke about Teemo with tank builds. Either is good to me.

I've seen several insiders hint at a direct soon, but where did the 20th date come from? Apologies if I missed it in the last few pages.
