Fun fact, an uncharged fsmash while you're buffed on psyche up is enough to break someone's shield.

What confuses me even more is the fact that we have no spirits of trainers. Spirits are fairly easy to make, so throwing in a few trainers would be quite simple. And yeah, we do have the Pokémon Trainer fighter spirit, but you can’t really play with those.
They don't use Ken Sugimori's artwork, and the trainers have less official non-Sugimori artwork than the Pokemon.

Still boggles my mind that aside from Pokemon Trainer, as well as trophies of Misty, Professor Oak, Professor Sycamore and the XY Trainers, Smash never really focuses on the the human characters in Pokemon.

I mean, I understand the Pokemon themselves are the stars of the show, but still... at least give the humans a little bit more love.
That’s one of the reasons why I want to see Cynthia make it in.

Likely not on the Fighter Pass, but I just mean in general.

I've always thought it would be cool to have a fight against Giovanni's team.

It's a reference to the final boss of DQ1.
Ah ok. Never played the first one. It seemed like like 8's post game 'trials' where you always start the first match against the Dragovian King, then he transforms into a huge dragon (I think its like 7 battles and the dragon is progressively harder each time).

So do you have to beat Classic with all 4 heroes to get their Spirits, or are the alts available in the store?

Felix is actually Vergil and I'm suddenly very scared he pull off a UMVC3 on my enemy, like, yeah, winning is cool, but no one deserve to get beatdown by UMVC3 Vergil.

Honestly, between the focus he got in the CG trailer, to the fact that he was the one who used the Final Smash, to his Boxing Ring title, to the Kirby hat, to the leaks themselves, it seems very clear to me that Erdrick was originally going to be the default Hero but SE or Nintendo intervened to promote Eleven.

Like alone those things are pretty innocuous, but taken together? It gets a bit fishy.

I guess, but then again, the stage was based off of DQ11, not DQ3, so perhaps...

I was going somewhere with this, but I forgot.

are you talking about Arusu because Erdrick is a Mii costume
Erdrick is literally the title of the DQ3 protagonist that was inherited in-universe by the DQ1 protagonist.

If you're going to be pedantic please do it correctly. And by that, I mean I hope you exclusively refer to Joker as Ren Amamiya.

Sakurai didn't say Ren Amamiya, so it's not correct. Sakurai did say Arusu, so that's correct. :p

Aside from the leak part, I think the rest of those are just a coincidence. The Kirby Hat and Boxing Ring title should be things added later in development, not at the very beginning. The stage is from DQ11, and I'd assume the work on that began long before a Kirby hat.

I'm not saying Erdrick wasn't the original pick at some point. I just don't think we really have anything outside the leaks that suggests that.

Isn't it weird how King K. Rool uses his brother's blunderbuss for his neutral special?

I just found these after completely forgetting that I had them.

I got these back at the Smash Bros. Ultimate Best Buy event, since they were giving them away. I’m glad I found these again.
