This week? Honestly, no. I feel like reveals for this month will be saved until Gamescom, where they might reveal something. Plus, while I think there will be a Direct this month to cover the paid online component, I think it'll be around mid-late August. There was the August 3rd Direct 'leak', but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
I'm skeptical that they'd announce two unique newcomers together, but I could definitely see a newcomer and an Echo being revealed at once.
A newcomer because Echos are boring filler.
I will embrace them in my arms.
Echoes, because discussion of them gets boring.
All echoes to kill off echo discussion.
All the echos.
Echos. It would probably answer some questions for people, and also I don't seem to mind them as much as the majority of people do. If it's someone I find interesting but don't feel the need to protect their "honor of being a unique character" for some reason (...?) I'll probably play as them over their counterpart.
Echoes.
Robin is known as Reflet in Japan. There's no problem here.
Personally: I was a Nintendo kid. Never owned a PlayStation of any kind until I was in my 20's, and I've still never owned an X-Box, so the Nintendo history is the stuff that means more to me. While I can respect their place in history, guys like Ryu and Cloud had zero influence on my childhood.
- "What a weird choice! I love how out-of-place and random he is. A cool guest character" - "He's super-iconic and him and Mario were big rivals, so that makes sense. He fits in nicely with the cast." - "Sweet. Another retro icon" - "A little odd, but he's one of the original gaming characters, so I can dig it. Four guests in a roster out of more than 5 is more than reasonable." - "...OK. I'd rather someone else, but he seems alright." - "...I guess some people will be excited" - "Seriously? DLC has been such a disappointment."
I've been wanting Impa since Brawl. I really hope this is her time to shine. I feel like making her an echo is such an easy and obvious choice. She's definitely my most wanted for the game.
Beg harder.
I hate to start ****, but I honestly think its great that we're seeing more 3rd Party characters in Smash Bros. I kind of love the ideal of it being this sort of huge videogame crossover and the whole prospect of getting a character from a famous franchise in Smash is kind of thrilling to me, even if in reality it wouldn't be a JRPG boys like Loyyd or whatever Tales MC it is... it may likely be more notable people
I mean it really depends on how many newcomers there actually are. If they keep showing off 2 per month we know we have a lot because they wouldn't show everything in such a short space of time. If we only get 1 per 2 months we know there's not a lot and they're maybe saving some things for right before release or keeping them secret as an unlockable.
Wow...just wow
Unique newcomer
Imagine if both joined Ultimate...beautiful
How about every other Goku
These are the opposite reactions for each of these characters that I had (hell some I never heard of and others I instantly loved through Smash...then there’s Bayo who I never assumed would be in a crossover)
I never heard of until Brawl and the Olympic Games...only to instantly fall in love with the series I knew of...but sucked/still suck at SF Must always be known and loved Heard of from a friend out of curiosity...will never try to beat one of his games but music is so juicy Heard if through Smash like ...but never got into his games (though he’s always been cool to me and deserves a better ending than what was given to the series) Never expected to join and only wanted to play her games due to E3 2014 and GameXplain getting me into the games...don’t regret playing both games one bit months before her announcement and am glad she’s in Smash (but am scared to fight her...who?
Who knows how many new peeps we'll be able to get right away. When Melee came out we could pick 4 new characters right out of the gate. However, Sakurai did state that we may have a small roaster of the N64 Vets at first. So I'm thinking most newcomers may be a suprise or be revealed like how Some where in Smash 4
New doesn’t necessarily mean unique. Ridley and Daisy were new characters shown in June and Daisy isn’t a unique character.
Yes.

- Whilst I do respect your opinion, but I really liked the inclusion of guest characters as other than Nintendo, there are other properties which I had played within other platforms such as Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog and Final Fantasy since my childhood.
You're not really starting anything. I already admit that not everyone has the same perspective I do, and in fact, people are STILL hyped about the likes of Cloud, so obviously some people like the direction it's going. For me though, DLC was the tipping point into disappointment. It basically brought back a few cut veterans, and then Third-Parties that I had no attachment to. Considering the possibilities, that was a let-down.
Dude, don't... thinking about how the start of Brawl speculation was 13 years ago makes me feel so goddamn old... Anyways, it was an emotional rollercoaster. E3 06 was, of course, bonkers and then we waited 5 1/2 months for a handful of stages and Fox, testing everyone's patience to the umpteenth degree. Then it was another 5 months before the daily updates started and that also blew our minds because the updated veterans started coming out almost every week. Then E3 07 was super underwhelming and then we lost our minds again in August when Sakurai decided to start showing newcomers on a near weekly basis until the end of October. Of course, Sonic was revealed and the hype killed Smashboards for a few days.
Like, 1/10 of the fighters are guests, they aren't invading the game. And I don't know how their inclusion was "shoe-horning", considering all of them were popular characters.
Wow, what an interesting story. Thank you for telling me.
Echoes. One, so that I never have to see an Echo debate again and Two, saving the best for last.
Impa is basically one of the more guarnteed characters in my book, like no one is a guarantee but she's one of the three I'd put money on. Her being an echo just makes so much sense. I just hope her fans will be glad she's in instead of salty she isn't unique.
Well Bayonetta can be argued otherwise but as for the rest:
: (Back in Brawl's times) The face of stealth games, huge franchise and the most cinematic games in the genre (for better or worse): vs, nuff said: One of few series so synonymous with the NES that people thought it was a Nintendo game: The first mascot of gaming: The vanilla ice cream of fighting games.: The face of JRPGs
Between Brawl to Smash4 it went from 5.4% of the roster -> 10.3%. With that kind of growth pattern and all the random TP's people are requesting, it could be higher soon. Don't get me wrong, the end isn't nigh or anything. I'd just prefer we keep a lid on it
Wait, I forgot to say this to you, but did someone actually say that?
I guess Bayo represents the modern generation of 3rd parties as well as the “hack and slash” genre and witches everywhereWell Bayonetta can be argued otherwise but as for the rest:
No, but wouldn't be the most stupid thing I've heard here.
Didn't she added because people voted for her? I didn't heard anyone saying you can't just put characters because of the ballot during that time.Between Brawl to Smash4 it went from 5.4% of the roster -> 10.3%. With that kind of growth pattern and all the random TP's people are requesting, it could be higher soon. Don't get me wrong, the end isn't nigh or anything. I'd just prefer we keep a lid on it
Also, while maybe a dismissive word choice, Bayo at the very least was a BIT of a shoe-horn.
This is quite damn good for Elma's chances I'd say!
YUP. I'm a huge LoZ fan, and I thought that they'd get rid of Sheik and put in Impa. I thought that they'd get rid of transformations in Brawl because no one played Zelda and only played Sheik, and I always thought the lack of a down special felt weird. That way they could give Zelda more potential to be good while still keeping Sheik's moveset (and not have two of the same person as separate characters), lol. Sheik was the last veteran reveal before the game launched, so I REALLY thought she was gone, too. haha.
Only your fingers? Shame on you! I have my fingers, hands, arms, legs, feet, toes, and all my t's on my papers crossed. I'm basically typing this out, and going about my day as a human pretzel. You gotta step up your game if you want Sora. XD
For what reason? What did he do to you?
One reason why I'll won't be able to get Kat from Gravity Rush
If only a Bayonetta situation could happen and Nintendo adopts an abandoned Gravity Rush. Little Mac was upgraded, I don't remember any mass rage on the internet because of it. Whether Sakurai puts out an 'Assist Trophy Promotion Ballot', or he makes the choice himself of which AT becomes playable, people will either have to accept what happens and move forward, or don't buy the AT DLC.
