I think y’all are going a little too hard on Crash right now, and I’m somebody who wants him in.
That said, I do think there are a few things to consider about tonight’s pick. It’s before the Christmas holiday, which could serve as a last ditch effort to boost sales of the fighter pass. It’s an event that appeals to a much wider audience than simply Nintendo fans.
This could potentially point toward another “big” pick like Steve for the general gaming audience. However, it should also be noted that Byleth was planned for last year (speculated anyway), so this could be incorrect. Overall, I think considering the timing of this reveal and the fact that we’re only halfway through, it could be a heavy hitter.
Basically for THIS pick, I’m not sure that it’s a hardcore Smash fan pick. I think it’ll be somebody “bigger” so to speak.
Crash could be the one, but it’s hard to tell as usual!
