, I doubt Geno, Lloyd, Chief, Crash and Dante are all going to be DLC characters, let alone Waluigi. Those are all popular picks, and I know Nintendo well enough to know that they would, or Sakurai would not choose picks that are all popular, but would include others that weren't requested and even unexpected like Byleth. I am not buying Fatman's predictions myself.
I Mean for me, It's not even that all the characters are popular, All the characters in FP1 were popular to specific reigions and such, maybe not Byleth but at least Fire Emblem 3 Houses was really good game, and such
But yeah all these Characters are massive, and the fact that Nintendo Started with Min-Min of all characters if these are the 5 characters here makes me question Nintnedo's Marketing. when you have a Season Pass you want a character that Kicks of a bang for a reason. It's easier to bait people into buying the pass that way. And plus if More people are buying, that means more people are also paying attention to the other characters that may not be as popular
You see this done with pretty much every Season Pass in Fighting games. Especially Namco published games. Negan was the first revealed character for Season 2 of Tekken, but he was the last character to come out. UI Goku was the first to be revealed, but Kefla was actually the first character in that pass, but they know People want that UI Goodness (Kefla was still hype though)
Min-Min does not jive with the Proposed Pass here. It's also something to consider that Trying to get Master Chief and Crash in One Pass might be to hell of a feat. I feel like Both Microsoft and Activison would want ALOT of Money. Keep in mind when they were working on Banjo, they worked more with Rare than they did Microsoft. With Chief that's working with Microsoft and such.
And also this is my personal Opinion, but I also can't see Dante and Lloyd in the same pass. Both are Swordsman that are Combo-based and such. While i know they do different moves, there's a possiblity they would want more mechanical variance among the pass.
Fatman has said that his predictions have some insider info backing it. If is Insider Info is backing the characters in his Predictions, I don't think it's what it seems. and I don't think he ever stated the characters were confirmed or anything, but even then, I think it's likely one of his predictions will turn out to be Mii Costume, and probably more than that honestly
