Being a bogus leaker honestly sounds like a lot of fun. Imagine the words I could shove into Blocked Content's mouth...
Do you even need to be a leaker to get your 'leak' up on their vids? They produce so much garbage I wouldn't be surprised that if things are going too slowly, they just create an account on gamefaqs to post a leak just so they can discuss it on youtube later.

He is totally possible despite Heihachi returning as a Mii costume! I actually prefer him over Heihachi.
I'd rather have Jin as well, but I think that the Heihachi Mii Costume would likely return with Jin/Kazuya/or Heihachi himself as playable character. Of course, who knows at this point, FP7 could be a Tekken character and that would surprise us all after Heihachi Mii Costume making a return, but I think that's not very likely at this point.

Funny that y’all mention blocked content, I just went on his channel for the keks, clicked one video and it featured a leak with Dimitri Maximoff (Darkstalkers) as FP7. Obviously fake, but dammit I miss when leaks had creativity with less discussed peeps (you’d sooner expect Morrigan) and wasn’t the same regurgitated Geno/Crash/Hayabusa/insert-other-popular-pick-here for the 100th time in a row

Let's just accept it and wrap it up. We're likely waiting until the last week of September or early October given amiibo theory.

You could argue that since they already had a Heihachi Mii costume in Smash 4 that it could have been ready earlier than any other Tekken Mii costumes that could appear.

I bought Sonic Mania yesterday and now I want a new Sonic rep even more, holy moley that game has been a blast so far.

Has anyone else heard the Battery Zone Act 1 music??
Mate, I live and breathe Sonic Mania's soundtrack lol.

Press Garden (both acts) and Stardust Speedway Act 1 are more my jam than Flying Battery, though.

I just got to Press Garden! When I'm done with my boring college stuff later tonight, you can bet I'ma be jamming out.

You know given the still fairly popular nature of Mii Costumes, its a shame they're so tied to new fighters in terms of release. It would greatly break up some of the waiting if we got a few announcements of some in the interim every once in a while, especially for franchises that aren't getting into Smash any time soon.
I disagree with your point. I appreciate the consistency of Mii Costume releases. It would just make the direct short and less impactful if Nintendo went your way.

I guess you have a point there. But in that case, I'd expect the Tekken character to be FP9 at the earliest. Tekken rep being FP7 or FP8 and releasing Heihachi's Mii Costume with Min Min wouldn't make a lot of sense.

Has Nintendo announced a direct/dropped a mini AFTER they tweet for the day? Ergo they’ve already made tweets for the day?

How could that be when cacomallow proves that mii costumes are made years in advance?
Damn it! You're right! The Cacomallow leak continues to prove itself to be indisputably real. Take that, Geno haters!

Personally I don't think a Namco rep is coming and Pac-Man is all we're getting from Smash Bros. I don't know why and we shouldn't take Sakurai's comments about Namco forgetting their characters exist seriously but I have a gut feeling it might be true.

I’ve been saying this for a while. There’s nothing going on (that we know of right now) between end of September and end of October with Pikmin 3. Perfect window for a Smash announcement, especially with the new amiibo releasing within that window

HWAOC is getting news around that time.

I'm still bummed that Knuckles never got into Smash as a playable character. Of all the other possible Sonic reps out there, I feel he would have fit the Smash format the best. At very least, his playstyle would have been far less annoying and repetitive as Sonic's.

I know we’ve gotten a couple of 3rd party echo fighters, but I still kinda feel like they’re not interesting in flat out adding multiple characters from a 3rd party series. They’re still viewed as “guest” fighters, echo fighters are just quick and easy to make

One of the issues with Amiibo theory is that it doesn't predict when an announcement is made, it barely states that if an announcement is made between either amiibos or new fighter, then the other one will be close as well.

Which means this line can keep going for years before we see something. And it will keep going until infinity when the game reaches its end of life. So yeah, it proves a correlation, for now. But a single point can wreck it as well.

I mean you can say that about any pattern. But this long of a consistent pattern just gives us hope that a reveal should be happening sometime around the release of the new amiibo, which is right around the corner

We all ask who is FP7, but nobody asks HOW is FP7.

Also I spent most of my day playing Trails in the Sky, put Estelle in Smash or something
I'm asking that every day (silently of course). But FP7 refuses to answer.

Maybe (s)he's not willing to come out and play just yet. :4pacman:

Also:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Seems that Unite's about to enter alpha / betatesting, and release might not be too far off.
