Considering Mega Man is also there, this includes helmets too. Unfortunately this doesn't really pin anyone down.
Characters in helmets:
Master Chief, Doom Guy, Excite Biker, Balloon Fighter, Mach Rider,
Extended to full hoods we have: Scorpion, Ryu Hayabusa,

If this theory was true, it Deconfirms Geno at least from being FP8. I don't know if this theory extends to the Rest of the Pass, but if this Theory is True, Geno isn't FP8

That’s the theory I was thinking of

likewise you know how the Lotus spirit got added into the Black event? If a potential new fighter who doesn’t have a spirit in base misses a themed spirit event, it could actually be a good thing for them as they wouldn’t be spirited away with that theme
U know what this means

our next fighter wears a sleeveless shirt

Neku time.

Jk... unless?

Wait but what about the Other Spirit events that didn't add any characters though?


In any case, Actually seeing that Shiek is in there, No Ryu either it would seem, and Geno and Ryu are popular Speculated Characters

Personally, we Might get an RPG Character next, one that doesn't wear hats or headwear and such. All of the Missing Mii Costumes are RPG Related. 2 Square, 2 Capcom, 1 Namco

Good luck fighting the never-accurate theories people find! It's more fun just to run with it.
And most of them are usually completely wrong.

I don't think so, as some of the Mega Man costumes came with a Fire Emblem character, and Fire Emblem is not a platformer.

Ah, but Rie, you forget that a helmet is counted as a hat, what's such a defined feature of Neku to the point he got a nickname from it? His headphones, it is reasonable to count this as headwear, especially for a fashion consious person such as Neku!

Is it obvious I've been replaying Ace Attorney?
"Lustrous Pearl and Nebulous Diamond" are possibly the worst names I've seen for a couple of Pokémon games!
I guess it's because of the Lustrous Orb which gives Palkia stronger STAB, but Dialga's isn't called the Nebulous Orb but rather the Adamant Orb. It'd work with context but in Japan they're known as the White Orb and Diamond Orb and I don't think we'd get a remake called Pokemon Diamond Diamond

Well Speculation is more for fun at the end of the day. No need to fight the theories i guess. We'll see the results of all the theories when the Full FP2 is revealed

I guess that's true. But it's more of a Hunch

We haven't gotten a RPG Character, and it's just Coincidence that all 5 of the veteran costumes are RPG Related. Granted I Don't think all of the 5 Veteran Costumes will come in one Pack.

The vast majority of RPG characters wear hats or other headgear, and unless they're some collectible monster I don't know of any who don't and have a good chance of being playable.

  • Adol Christin (Ys)
  • Ring Fit Trainee (Ring Fit Adventure)

Who even has a good chance at being playable to you anyway? You mentioned "collectible monster", probably as in Pokemon, but even Pokemon have been among the millions of characters you think are unlikely.

HOLD IT!

You will notice that several other characters who do technically have headgear are absent! For example, Snake, Ryu and Richter wear bandanas, and Marth and Lucina wear tiaras, but they are not participants in this tournament!

It would seem that for a headgear to count as a “hat” or “helmet” it would have to cover the whole head.

Ergo! Neku’s headphones do not cover his entire head, so he’s still in the running!

hdidkfkorjsn this is more fun than it needs to be

Please lets us call them Pokemon White Diamond and Pokemon Diamond Pearl

Almost all of them are unlikely, thanks to Disney, lack of international recognition, and Spirit Events respectively. Only Adol is still in the running.

Finally, a character Riley actually thinks is likely! Glad to know I finally got it of you!

The tourney suggests that the next fighter does NOT have a hat, since they cannot be included.
I don't see why.
Not like I'd complain anyway since my most wanteds are hatless characters lol.

Characters like Ike (or Snake) wear bandanas, and those 2 aren't in this event.

As for RPG characters, God of War 2018 has RPG elements, and Kratos... well, he is proud of his baldness.



Kratos confirmed.

He's hard deconfirmed, as he's an AT. He's gonna have to wait until Smash 6.
I think the Only Hard Deconfirm is Characters that haven't originated from Video games, since Sakurai has offcially deconfirmed those characters

Assists haven't been Officially deconfirmed, at least when DLC is concerned, but I could see them being Soft Deconfirmed

Mai’s also hard deconfirmed too by Word of Sakurai himself due to CERO reasons

I wonder, does Keeping the E Rating for Smash Ultimate matter that much that they have to bend to CERO's (and in other Cases ESRB) Will?

I was also referring to other monster collection series as well, like Digimon and Yo-Kai Watch among others.

OBJECTION!

Neku's headphones are perhaps the most important aspect of his design, as the personality they invoke is so wellknown that Neku's the TV Tropes page example of loners with headphones, the bandanas and tiaras are missable, unlike the hats and helmets featured in the event

would you rather have playable :bubblebobble:Bub & Bob or Frogger or Gex? and why green boi is the best
Gex has been completely dormant since the n64 (But holy **** if Gex ever get's added I would pop off so god damn hard the earth will shake)
Frogger cannot keep a consistent design and 90% of them are ugly. Frogger would only be added due to his legacy and thats it
Bub & Bob is what I would go with "realistically", While i'm not a fan They at least have a consistent design and can serve as a love letter to Taito
