Yeah, as I feel it's still early for me to speculate on DLC. Obviously we won't get 9 characters, but they're listed in likelihood. But wanted to include characters I thought had some reasonable evidence supporting them (imho), and I don't think all probable characters will get in.
I honestly feel like K.Rool gets the 'didn't see it coming' spot.
I mean, Sakurai did state he was referring to the ballot for the newcomer roster.
And all because of Nintendo! Because Nintendo wouldn't let Retro Studios use him for the new DKC games!!!!
Honestly it just goes to show that that's not really a rule worth following closely.
Another point towards Ken's inclusion in Smash Ultimate that I see no one else talking about much is the fact that Street Fighter got a HUGE jump in music/soundtrack representation compared to 4 where all we had was 2 versions of Ken's theme and 2 versions of Ryu's. Why would you make such a drastic franchise music jump if you didn't have another character to go along with it. Not to mention Ken's theme in Smash 4 was the only other song from SF to make it in 4. So clearly Sakurai's been thinking about adding Ken for awhile now.Ken is the only unrevealed character to have so many concrete things going for him to be real.
- He’s one of the most iconic characters who history is dealing with clones.
- He’s been mentioned by Verge at least.
- He has a screenshot that hasn’t been debunked by respected people that have an extensive knowledge on Smash and their game design. (ArtsyOmny, Vaanrose).
- And the GameCube packaging (or the box), despite me not thinking it’s finalized, points that between Palutena and Cloud, there is one blank possibly in that section, meaning that one of those chracaters may get an echo fighter to be right next to their counterpart since that is the side not shown yet. And look who is in that section:. Ken would go right next to Ryu.
I think Ken is the only one where I would say is a lock at this point.
Yeah...never really understood that term either. I guess because they are important in Nintendo’s History?
The only thing I enjoyed about PS All Stars Battle Royale was seeing my boy Parrappa holding a bazooka. I’ve never laughed harder.Last I checked, It (along with the Final Smash Meter) was announced in Playstation Allstars Battle Royale
I definitely think that not every character this game is going to be in because "Ballot"
Pretty sure the leak was debunked, Pichu’s ear is clipping.Ken is the only unrevealed character to have so many concrete things going for him to be real.

Nothing.
Absolutely.
Coincidentally, he's the only non-Echo other than the Inklings who wasn't leaked beforehand by a legitimate source.
Eh
I know, but everyone thinks all these potential characters deserve to be playable. Like, they say that Dixie Kong, for example, deserves to be in just because she's popular. Just because a character's popular doesn't mean they deserve to get in. What if someone says Dixie Kong does not deserve to get in? Is that person wrong? See what I mean? It's just dumb to say characters deserve to get in and YouTubers do it all the time and it bothers me because it makes them sound ignorant
Didn’t know Ridleys got updated. but then again, half an ear raises a few flags still. It’s not like Nintendo to leave something unfinished like that.
I don't consider the word "deserve" to imply it being factual. It's their opinion on which character they think has the best attributes to be a Smash character, depending on the subjective rubric they consider. A person can hypothetically say a character they don't like nevertheless "deserves" to be in Smash. It's just we rarely see that as people generally like expressing their desires, more than considering characters they don't personally like (*raises my hand*). That being said, I do avoid trying to use the term "deserve" given it's negative connotation in speculation--doesn't mean I don't have a list in my head of deserving and undeserving characters.
I imagine if that were the case itd turn out K. Rool would pull a ganondorf and be the one behind the Tikis and Snowmads
I thought yoshi's foil was birdo?Boshi "deserves" to get in because Yoshi "needs" a foil
That's what I'm personally thinking if they do that. He and the Kremlings were the ones pulling the strings the entire time.
Pichu's ear is actually a point in favor of the leak IMO. The portrait was cropped similarly during the E3 showcase.
The image is likely from an increeeeeeeedibly early build, earlier than the build shown off at E3, where Pichu has a full ear, and people have even pointed out a very odd line on Pichu's ear in the E3 segment talking about him which lines up where it was clipped off in the leak.
Watch it be Sephiroth and really put everyone on their toes.
More than just a few people were still expecting him though, just because the demand for him was so overwhelming, the only surprising thing about his inclusion was the timing of it and how it didn't leak.
Imagine how bull**** his reach would be lmao
Wouldn't be opposed to that, but I doubt it sadly.Inb4 It's this guy.
This guy here would like a word with you all:Inb4 It's this guy.
I mean, there's a fanbase for every character. I wanted him, but I legit didn't expect him.
They pointed out gameplay changes at E3.
It tends to be the default position of Nintendo villains is that the iconic ones always pull the strings of the new blood. I am still surprised they didnt retcon mario 2 to have Wart be one of Bowser's minions.
Never realized that.
If it was Dixie that was revealed instead of K. Rool. I dunno if I would had gotten back into the Nintendo Phase and be here. Perfect example of a butterfly effect.
