I'm still being bold as hell and saying Erdrick isn't happening.

He's been far too widely known for MONTHS almost a year now. This is Square we're talking about. They don't have leaks that lingering and big.

Everyone who has said Erdrick has also has taken a hit in credibility as well.

If Square wanted to add the biggest face of their famous RPG series. They sure as **** wouldn't let him leak out as early as he did. Nor would Nintendo let it happen. Nintendo leaks tend to be accidental ones that were through promo materials, etc, etc.

Honestly it's funny as **** to me that Smash fans often have this mentality as reasons to push characters from dead franchises/forgotten characters yet the idea of a 'shill pick' tends to drive people with that mentality insane to the point people yell stuff like "Erdrick would only be a shill pick/Bayonetta was a shill pick to shill her games!". Not saying it applies to you, just something I realized earlier today
Honestly, I have no problem with shill picks as long as their cool.

And not from Fire Emblem.

But yeah, I kind of have a feeling that every character in this pass will be some degree of shill.

Ederick, Banjo, Jill, some first-party promotional character.

I'm sticking to my "prediction" from like March.

I mean, to be fair, these are the same developers that left code in for Ryu a clean what, 3 months before his announcement and then had the patch be up online a day before the announcement so that everyone could see how he played and what he did?

With Shinobi also being known for not getting anything wrong yet. I have to wonder if Banjo is the only Smash content at E3?

Granted? He teased Ridley and didn't say anything about Daisy/Echos.

Another accidental leak that actually pointed everything out.

Nothing that big other than word of mouth and guessing games about Brave says Erdrick.

There's not one solid piece of proof for Erdrick other than ''He/she said." and guessing games.

And this is why I stick to it being a bunch of bologna.

The thing is, multiple people were teasing Ridley and Smash in that March direct, not just him. He's the only one teasing that Banjo's in Smash, which to me says he got some information mixed up as everyone's teasing Banjo stuff but are confused about this one specific thing Shinobi said

To me that makes it even more authentic though.

If you're someone with a crystal clear record so far? You don't risk those choice of words that way unless you're 100 percent sure.

Didn't Polar Panda also get a hint from their source saying ''Witch Puzzle."

They got a hint like that about Link's Awakening that also became true.

I'm sorry dude. I hadn't considered Pokemon leaks. People were talking casually about things related to the Direct and I didn't really think about people not wanting to know all the other stuff.

That's my bad. I'm sorry.

As I said before, that Witch Puzzle hint can easily just mean a remaster or sequel.

Polar Panda did but again, many insiders are specifically talking about Banjo getting the Crash treatment, that's the open secret among them like Ridley, the Ultimate teaser, the Grinch bull**** (even if it was obvious it was fake due to the sheer amount of characters) and Incineroar. Banjo getting in Smash is something that ONLY Shinobi's implying while everyone else is teasing Banjo coming back from the dead with games.

I don't know. This all just feels like ignoring things right in front of your face.

Like it was with Ridley last time. Everyone tried to discredit that too and it was right in front of their face.

History always repeats itself. And there's always egg on faces.

Then couldn't one say the same as Erdrick? Tansut (They leaked Cloud iirc) says he's in, he was on Vergeben's Square Enix list which he didn't want to reveal initially, other insiders are saying he's in, etc.
