The Art of Fighting Theme from King of Fighters 98 (which is based upon Ryuhaku Todoh's theme in the AoF series) and ESAKA Forever from the King of Fighters 97 are my fave themes that I hope will make it in Smash.
Oh yeah, I love ESAKA, I want some version of the song, Esaka Forever and Good bye Esaka are my favorite versions.
Speculation will mostly be those three names, but they're pretty much expected picks.
I think speculation will be for the most part the same unless:
Then the Geno/Shantae/Rex threads are all gonna have a field day with that on the spot.
Would definitely want to hesr that KoF XIII soundtrack in Smash.
He's just speculating based on some inside info in Sabi's discord or somethin', so he didn't claim Geno is in or anything like that.
That's quite interesting. Probably they're getting Geno post-pass. Malakas ang mga guardian angel sa likod niya

I'm just in for the Geno fans who are probably getting their character down the line. Nintendo just finally giving in and telling them to shut up and enjoy their character.
Last blade was literally the first game I bought off the Switch Eshop lol
Sounds like a "come back to me when you actually have an answer" situation.
Come back when you start getting answers fpr everything.
Pretty much. I've never seen Sabi or her sources give me anything concrete on Smash Bros. Flashbacks to that one Microsoft source she had that said, "Banjo is in!" and then immediately backpedaled. When pressed, Sabi just said, "Just speculate, y'all."
Every day Sabi disappoints.
I know Fatman is constantly pressed by the Geno thread for any new info. I wouldn't be surprised if he just says stuff just to say stuff.
Some of the users try to get the others to stop pressing him; sometimes he tells us stuff without being asked.
It just kills the hype for me honestly.
Like the dude, but feel he is awful at speculating due to his bias sometimes.
Its well meaning but I don't think that's good in the long run. It creates false expectations and can generate a lot of anger if it doesn't end up happening.
Cept I'm pretty sure they have to be vague about it for a reason.
Yes, to draw out the attention they get for as long as possible.
To be fair, some info they get they really can't say because it'll cost their source their job.
Oh yeah, you do that and think you won’t get either:
We'll be back to pre-Joker speculation, which wasn't too bad.
Don't forget the Wa cult
Such crazy things exists just for the simple reason of knowing who's next. Interesting.
No, it's because blurting it out would put both you and your source in deep ****.
Games like Smash thrive off of surprises. It's what gets people talking, and by extension, raises awareness and hype, which boosts sales.
got leaked, and you've got a problem. The last Smash Directs was a massive disappointment for some, and I feel the majority of that reason was us pretty much knowing who the last two fighters were, and really hoping for the Grinch leak.This is why I never liked leaks in the first place. A surprise reveal is more thrilling than the leaked one.Games like Smash thrive off of surprises. It's what gets people talking, and by extension, raises awareness and hype, which boosts sales.
Taking that surprise away, at least to the extent of, say, how
World of Light was being discussed far, FAR more than Inceneroar and Ken. Because, for the most part, it wasn't leaked.
TLDR: You take away hype, you take away profit. Companies don't like that.
Don't get too excited. I got attached to "Behind the Mask" from Persona 5 and they had to f**k that up to work in Smash Bros.
At least I know "Tears" can actually work in a combat setting because it was already used several times in KOF; and gets a bit more "fiercing" after the first 30 seconds, but always has this "sad aura" around it.
What? I love that remix to death, and Beneath the Mask was bar none my favorite P5 song.
I mean, he looked 15 years old in Melee.
Well, again, they weren't like, "This is how Lyn wields katanas" or "this is how katanas are wielded in FE". They were like "This is how katanas are wielded", which makes it sound like they don't know how a katana works.
Probably because SNK has enough trouble getting people interested in ONE samurai-themed fighting game, much less getting people to care about a 2nd one.
If they actually cared about that, they wouldn't "drop hints" in the first place. They'd just stfu and not say anything.
Since he's not really saying any names, though, and is only allowed to say some stuff without outright spoiling the names and whatever else, it's really just on whoever is listening if they feel hurt in the long run and get mad at him.
