You're forgetting "Skull Kid makes more sense as a boss" without any explanation or reasoning as to why.
This community changes their opinions on a dime. Whatever is speculated is what's in until something minor changes then they never believed that character ever had a chance.
Are people actually saying that Skull Kid thing???
??? What's this supposed to mean? It's not even grammatically correct.
>This character is likely
Sakurai counts echoes as fighters. He said, "we have a couple more fighters to reveal" AFTER revealing Chrom and Dark Samus.
Those are interesting examples, and actual evidence of this possibly occurring. I never thought of that before.
I'm more ashamed that I didn't immediately pitch an Emil assist trophy.
This.
When has a guest ever been a whimsical "Sakurai pick"?
They'd probably use his less intimidating look:
Would be pretty funny if this ended up being the KH rep because he has not a single air of Disney about him and he doesn't hang out with Donald and Goofy. Riku is also pretty important to KH.
It would also be kind of a bizarre guess, no? Because he's not the face of Kingdom Hearts, if word got out that the SE rep is Riku and only a few people know that, it would probably cost someone their job (hence whatbest girlSenjougahara alluded to). Whereas if it was someone people regularly speculate about, most of that can just be passed off as normal speculation anyway.
The best part? This post is bound to make someone upset at me cause Riku isn't the KH Mascot
Aaaaaaaaand FIGHT
It was a Promotion DLC for Kingdom Hearts 2.8 who was out almost the same days (Same week I think? I forgot) as the DLC launch, explaining why Sora had his DDD outfit in that game since KH 2.8 had DDD in it.
Thank you. Yea, that render is a mystery...
20 pages of ****posts of course!
It in part banks on what I think could be a partial mistranslation in the August Direct, where Sakurai is talking about the revealing every fighter's "design" before the game launches. Keyword here is "design", which is so vague it doesn't make much sense.
I'm starting to think that more and more as we get closer to release, and that's a shame, to me personally. The general consensus seemed to be that clones/echos came free of charge, balance wise. So, I had figured we wouldn't be getting as many unique fighters as we usually do, but echos were there to fill in the roster to what we would usually get. But with only two months to go, I can't see us getting more than 7 characters, including echoes. And that's being generous.
****posting.
I was wondering when someone'd take the baitThey'd probably use his less intimidating look:
Not to mention I dont think it would be possible for a side character to get in over the protagonist. He may have a lot of relevance, but Sora's the main character. It'd be like getting a "Loony Tunes" guest character, but instead of Buggs Bunny, they give us Porky Pig or Foghorn Leghorn.
Nothing happened. People are having a more or less superfluous conversation about whether or not Disney would bar Sora from being in because of one thing or another.
Actually, he stated: The Square Enix character that I heard about is an interesting exception in all of this when it comes to the box theory and my knowledge of there being a character of theirs comes from someone who's never had a habit of being wrong.
This is a good point, Sakurai could end a direct announcing the "design" of a character that won't be in right away but it's likely an odd translation.
Mostly Sora & Disney again... Nothing much new sadly
Debates on last 2 characters
The final public reveal for Brawl was Olimar, and the final public reveal for Smash 4 was Shulk. Those were hardly the big names for their respective games.
Has that changed? As far as I'm aware all the people who have said they're content with the roster are still content with the roster. Myself included.
I'm a firm believer that if there's Minecraft content in the game, there will have to be a Microsoft character with it, because why go through all the effort of licensing with a direct competitor without getting a playable character? However it does not necessarily need to come with a Minecraft character, we've already seen that third party franchises can get significant content in Smash without a playable character as long as they're from a company with playable characters already (or from a very easy to work with Indie company like Yacht Club Games). So I think it's possible we get Banjo or Master Chief with a Minecraft stage and/or AT instead of Steve.*Leaker implies Smash is a "kids game" now because of Minecraft when over 70% of the represented franchises are colorful, family friendly titles featuring characters such as a pink blob, a cartoon plumber, and squids that shoot colorful ink at each other*
Mmmmmmmkay. I don't know why something being wholesome or family friendly is viewed as an insult or something "bad" to some people, but eh, whatever.
Minecraft content is really tricky. On the one hand, Steve while in hindsight makes perfect sense, seems a bit too out there for base roster right now. On the other hand, if your gonna get an IP as big as Minecraft, why on earth would you only do an AT or stage and not bring a character? I'm starting to think that if there is Minecraft content present, then I really do think Steve is coming. That's just me, though.
This is my biggest problem with the box theory, it would have been a lot more conspicuous to have many empty spots or another blank row on the box, so I imagine the placeholder art would leave as little blank spaces as possible regardless of the amount of remaining characters left, just like how the character list on the Smash website only has as much blank spaces as needed to fill out a row and adds new rows when the amount of revealed character necessitates it.
Man, that’s a delicious looking cherry-picked argument, which completely ignores all other evidence prevented that goes against your viewpoint. And by that. I mean that we’ve gone past “Bandana Dee is just a hat goomba” levels of bad arguments.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if this were the case. It would also make sense why our SE character isn’t known, because they’re not in a playable build of the game.
I mean we already know that this Smash is treating reveals a bit differently and are catering more towards the fans unlike previous entries did like with characters such as K Rool and Ridley, to have it end with two characters clearly not influenced by that demographic would just be anti-climactic. (And at least Shulk was highly requested in Japan so there was a bit of a climax to him being revealed)
I really don’t like it when people say this kinda thing. Like how do you know? You ever met Sakurai?
But in smash ultimate, all fighters will be known before release where those two games still had secret newcomers, even if they weren’t all super hype either. There was hidden hype we didn’t know of.
Just saying, Incineroar wouldn't be marketing Let's Go very well. It makes as much sense as them revealing Incineroar for Smash during a Let's Go direct. The guy isn't in the game in any capacity, not to mention that the audience Let's Go is trying to attract (people nostalgic for gen 1 and people playing Pokemon Go who want a segway into the main series) would likely not really care about a Pokemon they don't recognize.
It's not, no. But you'd think that if even the slightest peep gets out, how are they going to tell who is "leaking" and who isn't if thousands of people are saying Sora is in at once? Surely that'd be a red flag if that was what they were looking out for
