I’d be satisfied with most of them, so I’ll just say which ones I wouldn’t be. Lycanroc would just feel like monster-of-the-week, so until I see evidence that he has longlasting popularity I’ll be kind of bummed (most Gen 7 picks would be that way). Hanafuda and Mini-Kangaroo I’m mostly neutral on, it’d depend on what moveset they end up having. Frogger I’m neutral on, it just feels like time forgot him. Saber I’d actually hate.
Given how iddly quiet wayfoward has been, the furniture of the last dorect(her color chairs, arabian pillor, a gravy boat looking like a genie lamp) and shovel knight an assist, makes me think she is quite likely. Lots of little hints add up.
No indie character is quite likely in my mind. She certainly has a much better chance than before, and I’ve generally preferred her as the indie rep to other choices. But quite likely just seems like a stretch. She does, however, have the best chance she has ever had like several characters.
It can get a little weirder over in the dedicated Shantae Forum. Where I discussed color theory in relation to hindu chakra, as well as generalized color theory.
Just want to point out that there are 71 fighters per the website, not 73. They count Pokemon Trainer as 1 character. This number does include Mii Fighters which are on the site as 1 character but counted separately for the post, so its really 69 updates. It comes out to about 9 "free spaces" though that assumes it was 41 after 9/3/18's update. I agree with you but just wanted to clarify.
so that would be 80? that comes close to my guessed 84 total base roster. 5-6 Newcomers and 6-7 echos still coming.
The 5 safest in my opinion are:
Thats what it looks like. I'm checking my math but I come out somewhere between 8-10, but probably about 9. This would put the number of fighters at 80 (website has 71) and the Fighter number either at 70 or 72.
Honestly, Inceniroar just seems like a meme pick at this point. I feel like Decidueye being added to Pokken helps his chances as he would be added to Smash for similar reasons as Pokken. Rowlet was also a lot more popular in general. Love to hear some counter point but if anything I feel like Inceniroar is being talked about as some people want him over Decidueye.
Hey its Oasis, long time to see
Yeah 80 or a few more i think is a nice solid bet. I am saying 84 as it works very well with that smash down mode. 84 is divisible by 2, 3, and 4, which sounds great for the mode so everyone is picked no mater how many play at base. Sure dlc well mess those numbers a bit though, but its to be expected.
I see what your saying. I can't speak on any of the modes or whatnot as I really haven't kept up with the game. Mostly stop by to talk Smash and its kind of nice not being that invested in the roster or anything.Yeah 80 or a few more i think is a nice solid bet.

As for pokemon, my pick i want is Nihilego fused with Lusamine, but i know that will never happen
I'd argue Buzzswole is a meme pick but that's just me. The total absence of all three starters so far is pretty notable though.I said it another thread but, in a perfect world, the rep would be Champion Kukui or Hau with all three final evolutions ala Pokemon Trainer but I seriously don't see that happening.
Tell that to Dark Samus who wasn't revealed alongside Ridley.
ah good catch
I honestly think Simon and Richter already fills in that slot. I'd say they're pretty retro.
I feel like they are another nes rep, krool is a good snes rep, and banjo would be an excellent n64 rep
Ignoring K. Rool has starred in DK64, King of Swing, Barrel Blast and Mario Super Sluggers no?
I think he means K. Rool started out during the SNES era.
Ah gotcha.
yep, arguably his most memorable apperances were in the dkc trilogy
But would a 3rd party count as a retro? if that was the case Pac Man would have been the retro, not Duck Hunt in the last game.
Do have a good point there. Thing is we're probably seeing a Rhythm Heaven rep based on the hint Sakurai left in K. Rool's reveal trailer. If my prediction is right we'll be getting a rounded 90 playable characters including Echos and DLC. So unless Rhythm Heaven somehow doesn't make the cut I could say a Retro might take their place.
Between the nasty mix of fake leaks and guesses, I’d go with these:
I've talked a bit on this before, but the line of thinking for an Up-B switch for Shadow could literally go for Tails as he's a clone of Sonic in the classic games outside of his animations and flying abilities, which is what Chrom is to Roy and the other echo variants to the base characters.
We don't know that Daisy is a 1:1 clone. She has the same B moves it seems like but she could be like a Lucina level clone instead of a Dark Pit clone.
Ever since Toon link has been shown to be in the back ground but could leave it if playable, I never think seeing someone in the background doing nothing but showing up is a deconfirmation. Only if they are a key part of the stage, like Kamak in Mario Land, or Ridley in Pyrosphere, or Paulina from the Odyssey stage, would I deconfirm them
Well that's what I meant, in terms of moveset.
Not to mention that Knuckles and King Dedede are still both in backgrounds of stages from previous games, despite them being an AT and a character respectively.
We have no precedence for new characters being introduced as background elements first. Doesn't mean he can't be DLC though.
I think we have seen her use B, but not sure if we have seen her use Down b.... could be wrong though
That's what I was referring to with King Dedede, he's still in a previous stage despite being a character in a game where he's present. However, Dreamland 64 wasn't in Brawl so I guess in that regard that's true.
