Feel like asking people here, but what do you think of my 12 most likely predictions?
View attachment 149395
Dixie Kong - I'll assume it's as a Diddy Echo. As such, I'm doubtful, but it's not unlikely, since it appears Diddy himself no longer has the tail stuff in his jab, which I think was the only thing making it impossible for Dixie to be an Echo before.
King K. Rool - Not a fan of the fanbase (thanks for ruining it by telling me how bad they are, Opo), but with the ballot likely having a huge influence and Sakurai himself acknowledging K. Rool with a Mii Fighter outfit in Smash 4's DLC... I'm actually fully expecting him.
Impa - I'm not supporting her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up, especially as a Sheik Echo.
Bandana Dee - Yes, please.
Lycanroc - While I think it's not unlikely that a Gen 7 newcomer can show up in a Greninja situation, I personally think Incineroar is more likely in this situation. Also, if you're really suggesting
Dusk Lyranroc, that's ridiculous, especially since the project plan for Ultimate was done nearly a year before Sun and Moon's release, and Dusk Lyranroc debuted an entire year after that in the Ultra edition.
Chrom - I personally don't see it happening, but I wouldn't be surprised either. Then again, unless he's a unique character, his inclusion will only make some people **** on Fire Emblem even more for "having yet another clone"
Isabelle - Despite being an AC fan, I don't see her happening. She makes absolutely no sense as a Villager Echo, which is a good argument since every Echo so far makes sense (Daisy's gameplay is often similar to Peach in spin-off games, Lucina once pretended to be Marth, Dark Pit is literally a clone of Pit). And if it's a unique moveset, Villager represents already nearly everything about the AC franchise with his moveset, the only thing left being Public Works Projects, which I don't see happening because it could make for a very clunky moveset that would cause things to take too much time to set up, thus clashing very hard with Ultimate's faster, more aggressive approach.
Lip - I doubt it. In fact, I doubt we'll get any retro newcomer this time around.
Elma - One of the most likely Xenoblade characters (the other being a Rex/Pyra duo), and really the only possible option for the base game, due to the fact that the project plan for Ultimate was completed in December 2015. Can see it happen, but I could live without it as well.
Rhythm Heaven Girl (forgot the name) - The project plan for Ultimate being completed two months after the ballot ended makes me think the ballot itself will take a big part, and if a Rhythm Heaven character gets a ton of votes, I think it's Chorus Kids.
Simon Belmont - I believe Vergsomethingsandwich was on to something. I mean, guessing there'd be NO cuts and specifically state Ridley would be an E3 reveal are just things I don't see him making up.
Rayman - The project plan was completed months after the infamous Rayman fake leak. And with Ubisoft having something to say about it at the time, only to not say it because Artsy Omni revealed himself... Yeah, could see it happen.
Mythra
I'm guessing the Marvel animation "going under hibernation" is to re-tool everything they are working on. End their shows and start a new animated universe like the 90's stuff.
Now I kinda want to pull for him hahaha.
