Haven't given VRPlant much attention, do tell, how consistent are they?

Everything they've said is correct, but it's always a few days before a direct.

Might be getting more Pokemon news next week. The Pokemon account on Twitter is talking about one of the new Pokemon every day, and we've already gone through six. Depending on how they address the regional evolutions, we could have 9-13 days before they run out of Pokemon.

 

[BlueMonk]

Just gonna say the Namco character, or more specifically, the Tekken character doesn't have to be Heihachi. Similar to RE having Jill/Leon or Chris/Claire and even a few franchises within Smash, Tekken's got multiple iconic/main characters to represent it. Hell, people not too long ago were questioning whether Robin or Chrom was the real MC of Awakening.

Namely in Tekken's case, the other two Mishima's with Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama. So if any of the issues that might cause Heihachi to not be eligible(be it the passing of another voice actor, or the Pac-Man sprite), There's other options within the franchise.

I'd say Jin's the more likely due to being in more crossovers, and being used as a posterboy for the series a bit more than Kaz, but T7's given Kazuya more attention as well.

Sakurai has directly mentioned Heihachi though, so I'd say its him or nobody.

Vergeben if I recall correctly said that he was pretty much done with Smash after Erdrick. He did also leak Banjo after Sabi did, but I feel like it was a "might as well" kind of thing.

Vergeben was leaked E3 stuff in general so him adding Banjo there makes sense. Now whers the **** is that Metroid game he mentioned

 

[Iridium]

So far, I unlocked today. Looking to get next.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Two things though.

Heihachi is tied Tekken as Scorpion is to Mortsl Kombat. Pretty much the face, icon and mascot of the series.

He was already considered as a character for Sma4sh and even got a Mii costume.

If anyone from Tekken is gonna get in its him.

Only other one I could possibly see is Yoshimitsu but that's it.

Tbh I could see Yoshimitsu getting in and representing both Tekken and SoulCalibur

Which is why I said him.

Anyways heading to the airport back home. Talk when I can again.

We might get a glimpse of the SW/SH anime September 1st.

Place your bets: Does it go back to the traditional formula, or does it continue the Sun/Moon style?

Since when has Nightmare become the "face" of Soulcalibur, where does this come from?

He's literally the logo for Project Soul like Scorpion is for NRS

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I could see an Undertale character in Smash being either Frisk (with Chara alt. please) or Sans & Papyrus (skelebros ftw).

Frisk is the protagonist, Sans & Papyrus are the most popular and are kinda faces of the game, at least alongside Flowey and Toriel since the others didn't seem to get promoted as much (except maybe Mettaton but idk).

I’d love to see Frisk’s alts honestly. I think these would be his alts.

Spoiler

Default
Toriel Themed Shirt
Sans Themed Shirt
Papyrus Themed Shirt
Undyne Themed Shirt
Alphys Themed Shirt
Asgore Themed Shirt
Green and Yellow Striped Shirt (Chara/Asriel)

Having the shirts themed around his friends makes sense to me. Making friends is a big part of Undertale, and these alts can express that.

I still feel like this applies to Jin as well, again, due to him being a literal poster boy for most entries in the series (T3, T4, T5, DR, T6, TTT2). Jin's also had the longest tenure as the protagonist of the series, including the most iconic entry with T3.

I wouldn't say that Tekken's got a single ubiquitous main character, but rather the whole Mishima family sharing that spot. Unlike Street Fighter undoubtedly having Ryu as it's lead.

MK's an interesting case as neither Scorpion, or his rival Sub-Zero are the main characters of the franchise, yet those two as as iconic to MK as Ryu and Ken are to SF, or Hei/Jin/Kaz are to Tekken.

Haven’t seen Sun/Moon’s formula.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Haven’t seen Sun/Moon’s formula.

Sun and Moon is a classic example of everyone crapping on a show before it comes out and it turns out great

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I’m back from work and I want to scream, how are you guys doing?

 

[Knight Dude]

Well, that's really only one thing, is there anything else?

In Nightmare's case, he's more or less the main antagonist of the entire series, with Seig being his heroic counterpart, is the longest standing of protagonists. It's kind of neat to think about that a full on villain acts as a poster boy, rather than a Hero or Anti-Hero.

I never said it was crap. I haven’t even seen it.

Can't even fathom how they could do another school series when Galar is one big region shaped like a long rectangle. Ash would have some seriously long train rides to and from school if he traveled.

I think it's all but guaranteed that we return to the orginal formula. Personally, I'm just waiting to see who travels with Ash. It must be someone who's already been revealed by now, so as far as possible male traveling companions, Milo is the only one with a decent chance. Well, unless Hop is the lucky guy, but he just reeks of "friendly rival who pops up from time to time".

Oh no I wasnt saying that lol. I was saying Thats what happend with Sun and moon. when they showed off the new art style, people haaaated it and said the show was gonna be bad but look at it now, all grown up

Milo’s the safe choice.

Should be Allister.

I don't see Yoshimitsu making it in over both Jin and Kazuya at all. The Mishimas scream "Tekken" way more than Yoshi does.

I don't care what the formula is, as long as the SwSh girl protag is angry and has a British accent, it will have succeeded in my eyes.

If Allister is female in Japan but male overseas, that probably wouldn't be the best idea. The dub would have a lot of explaining to do if Allister suddenly wanted to be "Galar Queen" or whatever.

Galar is a back to traditional formula game so the anime'll probably go the same route.

Since when are they female in Japan? That’s the first I’m hearing about it.

What the ****?? Source please

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I'm hoping Galar's anime goes back to the adventure formula. I used to like Alola, but it got kinda lame and boring. The series just doesn't work as slice of life IMO. The jokes were forced and unfunny, and the episode plots weren't that interesting either.

 

[Noipoi]

Personally I think it’ll go back to the traditional Pokémon anime format, with Galar’s heavy focus on the gym challenge.

Might've been a typo, but the Japanese site refers to Allister as "she". Don't know if it's been changed since then because it's never really been brought up since the July video.

(Edit: Also, Allister's name in Japan is "Onion", so...that doesn't really clarify much.)

It’s a pun on Onion and Oni (Ogre)

So uh...

Their name is Onion because there are layers to them.

Since Frisk’s shoes are kinda meant to be stepped in, I just refer to him with male pronouns. (I hope that made sense.)

Oddly enough, wasn't there a Pokemon character who did switch genders between the JP dub and English dub in the Pokemon anime? One of the Team Rocket members from one of the Pokemon specials? They were male in the original JP dub, but became female in the English dub.

At the same time, most people refer to Frisk as a she.

I mean yeah, but it’s still up to interpretation. He didn’t do anything wrong.
