I already have been convinced that moveset potential is not a problem by Sarki Soliliquy's analysis on the character, but I am of the belief that Sakurai's bias will ultimately pass Dee off. That is the only real wall I see. But I would be glad to be wrong.
A roster with 79 characters, especially one with no cuts is not something I can believe in, same with the idea of Dr. Kawashima being playable.It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible. So here is a new prediction roster:
Still, I am going to admit that I was wrong about Ridley and Simon. So I will not get bragging points from that regardless if the leak ends up being real.
If the leak ends up being wrong, ah well. It will cost me somewhat. It is fun to bet anyway.
I promise analyses for newcomer additions like Ridley, Mii Mage, and Simon will come soon. When all those analyses are done, then my prediction roster will be completed and the full roster post will come.
I'm currently skeptical of the Sakurai bias, but if Bandana Dee doesn't get into the base roster I'll be convinced that there is an unfortunate bias. Kirby characters are highly requested, especially in Japan and Bandana Dee is one of the most. That and he is heavily pushed by Nintendo and has moveset potential, I mean really his potential just writes itself.I already have been convinced that moveset potential is not a problem by Sarki Soliliquy's analysis on the character, but I am of the belief that Sakurai's bias will ultimately pass Dee off.

The latter. I've never cared about representation nor ever will. I've always said this and will keep saying it until my last day on Earth: Super Smash Bros is all about Nintendo's All Stars. It was always promoted like that until it kind of started to be a promotional instrument as well (and the addition of third parties which I'm more than ok with).

Getting flashbacks over here to Sm4sh when people called rosters unlikely due to a lack of K. Rool, Dixie, Ridley, Takamaru, etc
Elma is a literal expressionless sidekick to a mute in a titles thats not even a main entry to the series.It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible. So here is a new prediction roster:

Classic Blue. Lemme break this down for ya...It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible. So here is a new prediction roster:

Not exactly sure what that has to do with being in Smash or not.
Literally how is that relevant? she's narratively the main character and X isn't not a main entry just cause it's not a numbered title, if anything it's likely to become it's own sub-series while Rex and Pyra will never be seen again
I think a Zelda Rep for the sake of a Zelda Rep is even more fishy. (Completely ignoring the fact that I have what basically equates to a Zelda placeholder on my roster prediction lol)
I have one question for you regarding all this Blue. You don't expect this to be the base game roster do you? Surely some of these would be more likely DLC choices. Especially many of the 3rd Party choices that weren't in Smash 4 already. Are you accounting for DLC too in this roster?It might be too early, but I will take an extreme risk and bank on the leak being real before insiders get into it and make the leak more credible.

Considering that Breath of the Wild, a link between worlds, triforce heroes, 3 versions of Hyrule Warriors and remakes of Wind Waker, Twilight Princess AND Majora's Mask have come out between Smash 4's planning stages and Smash 5 I'm gonna be seriously disappointed if we don't get a Zelda rep.
Of course, I'm not saying that the general physics changes doesn't affect the character; but those play-styles are mostly producti of ended up diving into the game's meta-game; Smash Switch lacks meta-game currently (he game will start to develop one after the demo), so every previous possible knowledge of the old moveset can be useful even if the character's play-style ended up favoring other completely different strategies as you said.
He wouldn't be my first pick for retro characters.
Speculation is an absolutely fun ride.
Not particularly interested but I wouldn't be opposed at all, I have no idea what he could do for a moveset but he seems like the type of character sakurai would be able to come up with something super creative for, maybe some time of mechanic where you can blow up a certain amount of balloons and that changes his attributes or you could blow up balloons and that would change his aerial moveset or something. idk.
have fun losing $45 I guess
Not to be a jerk, but I really hope you're prepared to lose that money, my guy.
It's all fun and games until someone loses their ability to have lunch that week.
Didn't know Smash boards was a gambling site.
You watch. It's going to be Virtual Boy now.
While I agree I think it's pretty telling that most people just expect a '' Zelda rep" compared to other series where we have more expected characters (Bandana Dee, Toad, Ridley, Dixie/King K. Rool).
I don't think you'll win that bet. I think you're going to be at a loss.
Wild, Honestly Blue I have no idea how or why you're so sure about this guy getting in but I gotta admire the dedication and faith lolThe money shown in that picture right now is birthday money. So I will not lose much. I would gladly pay $45 to invest on Smash speculation.
I get Blue's mentality, you just get this feeling, it's like it has to happen/ you're willing it into the universe.
He becomes Loki.
Well it could go either way narrative wise.
Elma also has a bunch of other stuff from X's combat they could pull from if they really wanted to, stance changing, TP, overdrive. If Sakurai wanted to make her gimmicky there's ample material.
