9k (and everyone else who was confused), the pineapple business was a riddle concerning the 5 upcoming character reveals. It was a little experiment that prevented further stagnation of the thread and, at least for those involved, was pretty enjoyable.
Edit: beaten to it by Forgotten
? I wasn't confused at all. Matter of fact, after a short while of thinking about the remaining characters, I came to the conclusion on who
could be confirmed next, at that time.
I used logic to determine that Samus (who likely isn't very popular on the streams for a reason) would not be in Demo 2. By extent, Zamus wouldn't be confirmed, either. Pit and Ness are already both solid characters, giving them almost guaranteed slots. Luigi, despite not having many immediately noticeable changes, is not that off from his Melee counterpart, and is not "linked" to another unfinished character, meaning that he's likely to be in Demo 2 as well. That leaves us with Squirtle, Pikachu, Peach, Ivysaur, Diddy Kong Metaknight, Olimar, and Ice Climbers. The latter five have, for a while, been confirmed to not be in Demo 2; it's been stated numerous times that said characters have not been solidified, yet and / or are completely ****ed up. The former three have had more than enough work on them to be Demo 2 material, but, as said many times already (on both streams and, iirc, a few times in this thread), Squirtle, in fact, does not have a Down B. Pikachu and Peach, when added to the flux of the potentially confirmable characters, buff the character count to a nice, even 29 -- the number of characters that will be in Demo 2.
I'm just dumb and gave up on the "Pineapple" analogy because I didn't know how to cleverly edit the "serious" post I'd made, regarding it. God I'm such an idiot >_>
