Yeah, I'm really not sure how the name wouldn't be identified, but leaking is a weird "business" and tons of things can happen along the way, if it's legit then I can only guess that whoever is the source of the leak didn't want to name the character specifically to try and protect his job (but then again, why leak anything at all then).But then that means someone had to tell Vergeben "Square's getting a character. idk who."
I don't see how that information would be readily available unless he has an insider at Square and they say "we're working on Smash." (in which case, could it be other things for Cloud instead?) IT just seems weird that nobody would have brought the character name along.
I don't think that's necessary.For the Next SSB, should both Veterans and Newcomers be given actual combat moves in case they run out of source material to work with? Like, DK having a grappling move? I'd replacr Headbutt with that!
I know this in controversial, but I want to see more "FIGHT" in the "Fighters'" animations.
Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon are good examples of what I'm talking about.
Sora is Disney, not Square-EnixThe only other Square Enix character I seriously see joining the roster would be Geno, who's likeness made it into Smash already as a Mii Costume. Chrono and Zack Fair as a Cloud clone seem like a stretch, and Sora just doesn't seem feasible/realizable at this point.
This implies mario has taken over Pauline body and is using it to fightif the roster is full of echo fighters

characters with no images are:
: Pauline and Cappy as a duo with mario odyssey type of moveset
Only if he gets a Tapion echo fighter or alt.Here's a character everyone is sleeping on when it comes to Square Enix reps.

Hey with him you're also getting Goku so two birds with one stone.
Here we go again, this is like the last time an Indies showcase was announced. It is extremely unlikely Smash is even going to be brought up here. Doing such a thing would be detrimental to the Indies being showcased and take all the attention away from the game they're actually trying to promote.We're getting more this month guys

Hmmm Travis Strikes Back wasn't shown at all in the last so maybe we can see that and at least get a release date (do we already have one). If Travis we're in I could mayyyyybe see this as the time he gets announced but probably nothing lol. At least it's another direct to look forward to, especially so soon. Hopefully we still get a general direct in September.We're getting more this month guys

The Namco bit was false.Can someone catch me up on Verge? Did he say there was going to be a Namco Bandai Rep or was that false?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here?For the Next SSB, should both Veterans and Newcomers be given actual combat moves in case they run out of source material to work with? Like, DK having a grappling move? I'd replacr Headbutt with that!

I dont think they'll be thinking of anything DLC focused until the game goes Gold, which is typically about a month before intended release. Sakurai seems pretty devoted to making sure this game is perfect; which means all hands on deck for what's already in the game. They'll devote time and resources to matters of DLC after it's good and ready. In other words, I wouldn't expect them to drawing up conceptual DLC movesets until November; late October at the earliest.This is working out to be a lot of third parties for the base game...I said hypocritically as three of my top six, including my top two, are all third party...
I wonder if they're already starting to put out feelers and make the legal deals for DLC. It is about the time the character team would be ready to plan movesets and the like.
Or conversely, are there other examples of characters in the game...as assists? Bomberman, Rathalos, and Shovel Knight are third-party assists only, so I wouldn't be surprised if other series get that as well - particularly if the series is not a household name.
My predictions:Namco Predictions
Heihachi (Playable)
Lloyd Irving (Assist Trophy)
Gilgamesh (Assist Trophy)
Ms. Pac Man ɛ (Echo Fighter)
Galaga (Item)
Dig Dug (Item)
Klonoa's Ring (Item)
Nightmare (Boss)
Meh. I only want Hollow Knight and I KNOW that won’t happen.You're joking! Not another one!
I don't think we are going to get a Smash newcomer in a Nindies showcase... except for a indie rep. Whoops, the plot thickens.
Well, originally they had Dissidia was supposed to be a KH Fighting game rather than FF.Yeah, but they've also rejected Sora apparering in titles.
Wasn't he rejected from being in that FF Fighting game?
Or is that just a rumor?
That hinders his chances a bit I supposeSora is Disney, not Square-Enix
Or he just wants to sing like a GoddessThis implies mario has taken over Pauline body and is using it to fight
Geno has always been one of the most random popular characters to me. I get the appeal of his mysterious "cool" personality, but I've never looked at him the same way as others have. He's not particularly important to the franchise, he's extremely underdeveloped compared to the other SMRPG characters, his design looks like something you'd find off of DeviantArt, and without Smash speculation, he probably would've died off a long time ago.As far as Geno, I've never really understood his appeal frankly. I loved Super Mario RPG enough, but I never really cared all that much for Geno even within the game he was featured in, he was kind of the least interesting character in the entire party for me. He's kind of in the catagory of characters like Waluigi, Isabelle, or Ashley who's appeal I never quite understood.
I also predict we are only going to get 2 FF tracks.Square Enix prediction:
Cloud (playable)
yeah, that's all folks.
Helps that the Smash Direct shows Final Fantasy only having 2 tracks...maybe we’ll have an extra song if we’re luckyI also predict we are only going to get 2 FF tracks.
Dang it SQUARE ENIX!
HaHelps that the Smash Direct shows Final Fantasy only having 2 tracks
My predictions:Square Enix Predictions
Geno (Playable)
Chocobo (Item) - Ride it
Slime (Assist Trophy)
Lara Croft (Assist Trophy)
Technically speaking, according to the game story, Cloud would be a Zack echo lol.My predictions:
Neku (Playable)
Zack e (Cloud echo)
2B (Assist Trophy)
Sho Minamimoto (Assist Trophy)
This is very unlikely to mean anything. If something was shown it would have to be at the end and related to indies.We're getting more this month guys

LEGIT MAD.Square Enix Predictions

Is it going to be the same ****in' build?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOAwTI1Z1w0
German nintendo is having an ultimate invitational soon, I guess.
I just think its funny when you have the same person saying this is the final stage count also say we're still getting Banjo, Goku, etc. So let me see...wouldn't we also get a stage for Banjo, Goku, if they make it in? Wouldn't that increase the number of stages?Just gonna throw it out there.
People saying that 103 stages is the absolute final count have the same mindset as people who claimed the '66 fighters!' quote on the website meant there were no more new character to reveal. Don't take a pre-release 'final count' as an absolute.
