Digging up an old post of mine since I hate when people say the costume "deconfirms" K Rool and the Inklings.
People who "deconfirm" characters based on a costume CLEARLY have not learned ANYTHING. As a community, we are the WORST because we always make up assumptions that characters are automatically deconfirmed.
-Mewtwo and Lucas DECONFIRMED because they have trophies in the game. Clearly a character can't be DLC if they have a trophy in the game.
-Lucas and Wolf DECONFIRMED because Ness and Fox took their specials and used them as customs.
-Toon Link DECONFIRMED because you can't have a fighter in the background of the stage at the same time.
-Villager DECONFIRMED because the villagers appear in Smashville.
-Villager DECONFIRMED because Sakurai said Smash is too violent for the series.
-Duck Hunt DECONFIRMED because dogs are not plausible to fight
-Ness DECONFIRMED because Sakurai said "Up unitl now"
-R.O.B. DECONFIRMED because hes already an enemy in SSE. You can't have a fighter and an enemy at the same time.
-All Clones DECONFIRMED because clearly Sakurai wants to get rid of them this time around.
-Little Mac DECONFIRMED because Villagers uses boxing gloves.
-Little Mac DECONFIRMED because the Boxing Ring reveal is generic and not Punch Out Themed.
-Lucario and Ike DECONFIRMED because Sakurai cut Mewtwo and Roy last time, meaning Pokemon and Fire Emblem are "flavor of the month series"
-Roy DECONFIRMED because we already have another Roy in the game, and characters can't share the same name.
-Ryu DECONFIRMED because Sakurai said no fighting game characters.
-Wario DECONFIRMED because Mario always has Wario colors.
-Roy DECONFIRMED because Marth has Roy's colors. DLC can't happen if another character has their colors.
-Mewtwo, Roy and Dr Mario DECONFIRMED because they were already cut once, and characters cant come back.
-Dark Pit DECONFIRMED because he didn't have a newcomer banner at the end of his trailer.
-Bowser Jr DECONFIRMED because a series can't get two new unique reps. Mario series has too many reps
-Rosalina DECONFIRMED because she'd just be a clone of Peach.
-Palutena DECONFIRMED because a statue of her is on her stage.
-Robin DECONFIRMED because only the main characters are playable.
-Miis DECONFIRMED because they are already avatars in online menus.
-Ryu DECONFIRMED because a third party company can't get two reps.
-Wolf and ROY DECONFIRMED because you can't have three characters based around a similar moveset.
-Palutena DECONFIRMED because she was part of Pits Final Smash, and you can't change final smashes
-Little Mac and Charizard DECONFIRMED because they were assist characters and thus they weren't important enough, and characters can't be promoted.
-New Fire Emblem characters DECONFIRMED because the series only warrants two reps.
-Ice Climbers CONFIRMED because characters that appear at least twice are a lock forever.
-Rayman CONFIRMED because third party characters can't have trophies in the game without being playable.
-Sceptile CONFIRMED because Sakurai replaced Squirtle with another water starter, so clearly he is replacing Ivysaur with another grass starter.
-Villager and Tom Nook CONFIRMED because their stage has a logo. Dixie Kong CONFIRMED because she almost made it last time.
-Krystal CONFIRMED because her voice actress confirmed work on the game.
Original 12 CONFIRMED forever, since clearly they are prioritized and can never almost get the axe.
Isaac CONFIRMED because he was clearly cut as a trophy so he can be playable.
"Question: In “Subspace Emissary, why weren’t Wolf or Jigglypuff involved with the story?
Sakurai: Toon Link is also included in this, but these three characters were really on the brink of being cut."
-Shulk leak is FAKE because he clearly photoshopped Little Mac
-Shulk leak is FAKE because that blurry image looks like it says DISABLAD
-Roster leak is FAKE because Wario is missing his pupil
-Roster leak is FAKE because Bowser Jr is in a clown car, and clearly characters can't fight in vehicles.
Literally all of you who deconfirm a character because of a costume have learned NOTHING.
As it stands, characters can be fighters and have mii costumes at the same time. If you think a character is instantly out the race because a costume appeared TWO MONTHS before the ballot is even over, you seriously have no grasp on the situation. The costumes are released in waves, meaning they are preplanned and not made over night. Costumes like these were in plannings well before they were released, even well before the ballot started. If we get a character from the ballot, it could be several months before they EVEN DECIDE who is worthy....and even then, it will be MANY MONTHS after that until we see the character released.
. Sorry for the glitches in this post XD.
