So... yeah, i have some information to share for Smash Ultimate for some new figthers gameplay, that actually complement the "codenames" leak.
"Old Man": yes, it's Heihachi from Tekken series. By far it's the most technical character in the game. Neutral, Side and Down B are combo starters, it's the only way to juggle the oponent (normals and aerials will have the 'standard' knockback) Heihachi have 3 costumes for Old version and 3 for Younger version, 1 is shirtless and 1 have shoulder pads. His stage is a ring cage and it can be destroyed if the cage recieve a lot of damage (a la Shadow Moses Island)
"Pony Tail": It's Ribbon Girl from ARMS. She have three normal jumps and his specials resembles the differents ARMS in the game (Down B it's a reflector, Neutral B is a chargable beam) Her first 4 colors are from his alternate colors in ARMS and the rest resembles other characters of the game. Her stage name is "Ribbon Ring" and it's a three platforms stage but those platforms can dissapear if the player stay long enough. If a player choose her and enters her stage, the fans around the ring will have flags and shirts to support Ribbon Girl.
"Warrior": It's not Simon but is a Belmont, it's Ritcher from Rondo of Blood. He is very agile to resemble his counterpart in Symphony of the Night and his specials are the items from Rondo of Blood and it can be charged to do a powered up version of those items. His colors are from other characters from the series. His stage have no name for now, but starts in the woods with a flat platform, after some time Death will appear and destroy that place to transfer the players to a burning city, the stage still have flat platform but now have a wall underneath and some of the houses can be used as a platform, after some time Death appear again to repeat the cycle.
"King": Yes, it's King K. Rool (his names it's pronounced King Krool, like 'cruel') A heavywight character, a bit slower than Ganondorf but a huge strenght, his specials are similar to his boss fight in the Country series and Donkey Kong 64 and he will have 2 new stages, a pirate ship with some hazards (bombs falling down, the top platform can be destroyed by those bombs o by attacks) and a boxing ring with many hazards (reflectors falling down, banana peels appear at random and some barrel cannons to help o harm the player) He has 5 colors to resemble enemies from the DK series, 1 scientist, 1 pirate and 1 with boxer outfit.
"Mech": It's KOS-MOS from Xenosaga but her desing it's not from that game, she can be used at distance with her guns but her close combat is somewhat 'weak' (altough she does good damage thanks to her range of some attacks, IE: a laser sword) At this moment she doesn't have a stage. She have 6 alternate colors, a swimsuit and a sports uniform.
At this time, two 'echoes' have been finished.
Shadow the Hegdehog: Altough he is a semi clone, people can see that Sonic model is used for him in almost everything. His specials are "Chaos" something, he shout a lot that, he has a teleport, a proyectile, a chargable blast and a teleport counter (only works with close combat, if Shadow has been hit with a proyectile, he can move a little bit) His normals are similar to Sonic except Foward air and Foward tilt, his stage name is 'Radical Highway', it's a city at night in the middle of San Francisco's Golden Gate with some hazards: Some kind of air military force can target a player to drop a bomb or drop some items and some pillars appear at random at the bottom of the stage and can be used to help the player to retunr to the flat platform with two suspended platforms at the borders of the flat platform.
Chrom: Literally Ike, he is a little bit faster, lighter and weaker than him, the only thing 'original' to him is his Neutral B which is Shield breaker from Marth in Melee. His Final Smash is a mix, he hits like the Great Aether, if the attack lands, a critical image appear and Chrom call Robin to do His/Her Final Smash, something to detail is that Female and Male Robin can't be selected in Chrom FS, it's random.
To conclude, the new figthers will have a in-game intro cutscene to introduce theirselves something similar to Brawl's Subspace Emissary with Jigglypuff, Toon link and Wolf, IE: King K. Rool will fight you in his boxing ring and do the same as the cutscene in the final boss in DK 64.
Thank god the "Codenames" leak is about to die.
It's another Phil B&K dilemma.
