I'm torn between thinking that Crash getting revealed right before his game is released is way too coincidental to ever happen and that Crash getting showcased in Smash Bros when that new game hasn't even been announced for Switch feels so on brand for this series that of course it happens.

…I’m not trying to stand up for MH or anyhting' but wasn’t this exact same roadblock (to an extent) supposedly in the way if an ARMS character?

It isn't going to be a Gen 8 Pokemon, it will be a third party.

WHO WANTS TO BET???

Here we go, I guess. Of course they drop this after I start getting uneasy and slightly pessimistic, lol.

...It's not a Sakurai Presents, though. And a brief message from Sakurai afterwards...?

...They're gonna announce a pass end date delay, huh? My guess is the character ain't launching anytime soon, either.

I just saw on Twitter Kamiya is retweeting a lot of Viewtiful joe in Smash tweet. Did he do that for the other character announcement too? At the same time, I'm not really expecting Joe to be in really, but it's a bit weird.

It's Kamiya - who knows why he does anything? (alternatively, maybe he's just happy that people want Viewtiful Joe back in some form)

I think he's talking about Byleth.
Click to expand...
Wouldn't be surprised, since Byleth's playstyle reminds me a bit of Hunter's MvCI's playstyle...

Buuuut I won't commit to that since I could be off the rails.

Like SKX said, it'still ongoing. It ends on October 31st, if memory serves, and some announcements have already been made, with more to come.

Maybe not a frontrunner, but definitely a dark horse for tomorrow.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It could happen due to an interesting timing (CP7 could certainly release during the Playoffs), but there's no precedence yet (Switch port announcement etc.) to suggest that that would be the case.

I'm not willing to say that it's a front runner, but agreed. Dark horse.

oh hey look, Imran is posting.

Time to read way too deeply into his posts assuming there's a clever, subtle Smash hint in any of them. :4pacman:

Don't worry, we are already over-analyzing Imran's tweets. :4pacman:

This could also be a shift in how Smash news is delivered, where the Sakurai Presents formula of explaining the character's origins, moveset, mechanics, stage, and music is thrown out for just showing off the trailer and saying "They come out on this date, have fun!".

Maybe Sakurai figured that writing, filming, and editing a presentation for each character wasn't a good use of development time?

What if it is an Echo Fighter?

If it is only 3 minutes, maybe it is just Sakurai talking about how similar this character is to another character currently in Smash.

This is the 7th DLC character and the presentation is 3 minutes long.

In Final Fantasy 7, Tifa is the 3rd party member you acquire.

Final Fantasy 7 released in 1997, the same year as Street Fighter 3.

Street Fighter 3 has the number 3 in its title. Mario Party 3 also has the number 3 in its title.

Waluigi is a playable character in Mario Party 3.

Therefore, Crash Bandicoot confirmed.

So Sakurai needs to give us a talking to after...and the lack of leaks leads me to believe it's first party.........sounds like fire emblem lol

More seriously Pokemon is fine though. I just hope it isn't one of the starters, though they are the most likely

I don’t think so. Echoes have the E appended to the number of whomever they’re echoing. FP7 HAS to be fighter 77.

Interesting... He has been retweeting Viewtiful Joe, and Wonderful 101. Considering we are getting CP7 in 10/1... WONDERFUL 101 FOR SMASH?

Facts. How in the world does Byleth play like Monster Hunter? Monster Hunter has ten times more weapons than Byleth does.

Wow, I’m one of the lucky few to NOT be blocked by him!

Imran, I love you, but your logic is terrible.

"I doubt it. If they were going to do an ARMS character, it would have been in the base game that already had ARMS costumes, ARMS spirits, and a Spring Man assist trophy.

And also maybe before two Belmonts that play like an ARMS character."
