He actually said that it still could be dlc. Basically he has no idea on the roster size, but that a Square character exists 100%. If the box theory is legit then it has to be dlc, otherwise it could still be base.
Say it with me everyone:
Not true either.
He didn't specifically said that this character is in the base game because he doesn't know the exact number of fighters. He knows and is 100% sure that a SE character is coming, so if it isn't in the base game it would be DLC.
Agreed. Which is why the Keyblade poses a problem with the Mickey keychain. I mean, it would be easy enough to get rid of it I suppose, but I dunno how I'd feel about that as it would kinda make Sora feel forced rather than representing Kingdom Hearts properly.
This is one of, if not the biggest misconception in regards to Sora speculation, and it ticks me off because it's blatantly incorrect. I know
Nekoo
'd me, but this bears repeating. 
It's not even Mickey. It's a Hidden Mickey. Three circles that vaguely look like Mickey's head. If that's the only Disney content Sakurai needs to go for, then I think he can do it. If not, Sora can just use Oathkeeper and/or Oblivion, or the Star Seeker if he's KH3 Sora, as he's been shown to use them in official art.
But That's nitpicking. We won't have Mickey dancing around.
Or he got the info about those list names explaining why he say "Geno have High chance" or "Sora is in" because his sources are ****ed too with that fake leaker issue
Oh no. I hope it's end result is not something ridiculous like last time.
I sincerely hope it's another Rick Roll. We need to bring that meme back.
What if he's the Square Enix rep?
- A chibification of the most recurring mascot of the Final Fantasy series
- Has six games to his name not including cameos, much more than most FF characters
- Has a new game coming out, and given how Sonic went with Melee and Brawl, the choice to include him could have been made after development started
- Would fit in well with the cutesy aesthetic of Kirby, Pokemon, etc and make a good "antithesis" to Cloud's more realistic, edgier design
Of course, King Boo hired Death to collect Luigi’s soul for him.
No one knows all we know is Disney is fine with Sora being in Smash
Nope, but that literally play for his favor since it's mean Disney doesn't use Sora as their will and still need the okay from SE.
Or.... Our resident leak archivist is the rep who has been spreading fake leaks all along!!!!
Verg said he doesn’t know, however sakurai did say he would finish the game before dlc and so any character that’s rumored would be on disk in theory
I actually wouldn't mind that but I doubt it, FF still has 2 songs and Chocobo without the Chocobo song is just wrong.

That would be a cool CGI scene. Death comes to King Boo and says Luigi's Soul w/crys of horror attached for you King Boo.
As someone who wants Sora as one of their most wanted 3rd parties, I would love for you to be right. The only reason I doubt it is because Disney is notoriously hard to work with.
Bro "Sora's friends" works perfectly fine. Even if it's ambiguous, Sora is shtick is pretty much "my friends are my power," so it works perfectly fine.
Anything is possible really. Sakurai is a Wizard. Two SE reps would be wild and as for final roster numbers...again Sakurai is a very interesting man, a bit hard to fully predict his capabilities.
The Proximity Mines and stuff from Perfect Dark/Goldeneye were kept ambiguous so I don't see how some flavor text in a Trophy would be a big deal for Sora. You can definitely talk about him for a bit without talking about Donald and Goofy.
I imagine most of Verge's sources are coming from marketing divisions and maybe a few select playtesters. According to Sakurai himself this game has been kept under super lockdown, so it wouldn't surprise me if not many outside the dev team actually knows what's going on. However, as we're getting closer to release, that will probably start changing and the potential for more Ken leaks will rise.
Because he has missed stuff like K Rool, Chrom, Dark Samus, and Richter. Vergeben knows he doesn't know everything so rather than saying "There's only 3 characters in the game" he plays it safe because he really doesn't know anything other than what his sources tell him, and even then he's hesitant to share info unless he is 100% certain it's true.
In Record Keeper they just say that Sora lived in Destiny Island with Riku and Kairi, that it got attacked by darkness and that he's now traveling "Fantastic and magical world" to find them while killing monster known as heartless.
Nah man, boxman Steve is our hero.
Only if we get this song in the game

Additionally not knowing just certain characters overall (K. Rool, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus, Daisy) are why he probably doesn't know the whole roster count. He knows what he has available, but a final roster count makes little sense from him since he hasn't known about 5 out of the 9 newcomers so far.
I feel like Smash Ultimate is the type of game where those working on it only know what they need to know to do their jobs. So when someone like Verge has a few sources, those sources may only know of the handful they have to work on, and may also only give out certain information they think won't be able to be used to track them down specifically. Which is why we probably also have leaker bait, characters who are not playable that, if leaked, can be traced back to the source.
