So you're basically admitting that he probably does/did have legitimate info and are willfully choosing to look the other way because "maybe he just got lucky."
You like twisting people's words, don't you?
Who gives a **** about the game canon, most of the games have very little story or depth to begin with.
Which makes his refusal to respond to any comments about Smash Bros all the more suspicious. He and WayForward are deliberately ignoring those while other people like Phil Spencer have specifically talked about Smash.
Not to mention that one tweet from Yacht Club Games before SK was revealed as an AT.
Well what I like about it is that we don't have to worry too much about them being ticked off by people constantly asking. That's actually a great sign.
So we know that, ultimately, Shantae was likely under NDA from after the Febuary 2016 interviews about Smash Bros 4. And with Phil Spencer lately mentioning Banjo-Kazooie in Smash freely while WF and Matt Bozon are dodging Smash Bros questions means quite a bit. As well, remember when Mewtwo was revealed back in October 23rd, 2014 with Mewtwo's release date being April 28th, 2015 means quite a bit. Yeah, I know they rehashed his models and updated his moveset, but we could reasonably assume it'll take as quick as six months to upwards to two years to fully realize a character, which means in great likelihood that Shantae may just be playable in Smash Ultimate!
Little story, is still story.
That's Mewtwo's backstory.
I mean....you ca'nt really say that when the movie and anime were approved and worked on by staff of the games.
Are you really sure that the people writing the anime, are the same people working on the games?
the japanese version of the movie has more scenes that make him far more sympathetic thats just what I want to end on here.
Yup.
Speaking of which, did anyone leak Shovel Knight's AT status before he was revealed?
I believe this too, though it'd suck if we get nothing but radio silence for over a year till DLC announcements start popping up. DLC doesn't even begin development till after the game comes out, so WF would have to be quiet for a long long long time.
No? The only "leak" was the Nintendo employees screwing up the music title before the direct. Yacht Club was also dead silent on Smash before SK's reveal as an AT much like WF's been doing with Shantae.
Truth be told. No one did. But seldom does anyone try to leak Assist Trophies. Although there was one guy who correctly leaked Bomberman the day before the E3 direct.
Agreed. If she is an assist trophy, why not show her right after Shovel Knight? "Hey, for the first time in Smash Bros history, we have not one, but two indie characters as assist trophies!" They ripped the band-aid off quickly for Waluigi and Ashley, so why drag out Shantae along if she's an assist trophy?
I feel this way too. That line up deconfirmed soo many wanted characters at once. I feel anyone else that would have been an Assist Trophy would have been thrown in to deconfirm them with that line up.
I must ask you, how long does the Smash Teams work on Assist trophies? I'm generally asking because I was thinking about YCG's silence over Shovel Knight in Smash vs WF's silence over Shantae in Smash. That and we know that the NDA on Shantae has been in effect for at least two years if we believe that her NDA started some time in mid-2016.
Yeah, I think even Matt said there was a ton of possible movest's when he made his idea for a moveset. At the end of the day though, the moveset we get is gonna be the one Sakurai pictures.

possibly, though both wre under NDA, it might be on WF's own part that they are this silence ontop of the NDA.
...
That was from Goku's voice actor. Both of them. Japanese and American.
It'd be too obvious...duh.
Why does everyone think two characters with ZERO evidence pointing to their inclusion will be in?
Because Vergeben has not been proven wrong.
I won't exactly say 0%. Just a possibility. (a very unlikely possibility) but a possibility anyways.
I'm gonna say it, Ken would be unbelievably boring echo and also Incineroar, is not popular compared to the other two final evo starters in America OR Japan. In America it seems like Decidueye is the most popular and in Japan it's Primarina. Incineroar would just be another heavy fire pokemon. Boring.
It might just be an employee/intern responsible for that social media simply being a big fan of Shovel Knight or other YCG products, but having not heard about Shantae or necessarily caring about WF's other products. It's not that uncommon, you know!
Because Ken being the original "echo" fighter makes some form of sense. Though he and Shadow wouldn't have as much of a leg to stand on if Richter wasn't in. As for Incineroar...I have no idea, outside of Verg, I can't think of anything that points to the heel-cat, especially when he's far from the most popular out of the Gen 7 'mons.
Not gonna lie, that would be one of the better choices for a second SF character. Though I would love to see M. Bison or Akuma in this game in some fashion.
