I just can’t see lloyd before the other two. Tales just isn’t that big of a priority for Namco compared to the money-making juggernauts of Tekken and Digimon.
Reminder that a relatively small series like Banjo Kazooie got in before the juggernauts that are Halo and Minecraft

Sales aren't the be all end all

I'm still thinking the final Pass character is gonna be someone big but unexpecting.

Until Vergeben says otherwise or is right about what he says regarding it I'm betting on Agumon.

Should keep an open mind given no one would had thought of:ultjoker:and Terry.

At this point it’s either Augumon or Heihachi/Kazuya/Jin. It could be something big like Dark Souls or Doom. But at this point I’m pretty sure that the Hero-Banjo 1-2-Punch was this passes “Big Thing”. And at this point it’s all about putting a nice little bow on it. Saving characters like DoomSlayer, Crash, and Ryu Hayabusa (maybe even Reimu) to be the “big thing” in the next batch or two.
Saying "it's either this one or this other one" assumes that there aren't thousands of other options. It could literally be almost any game character ever.

Banjo was a huge pick within the Smash community that (while not always being number 1) has been top 20 since 64 and has been moving up the list as all the others get crossed off. And Banjo in Smash is the reason Nintendo and Microsoft were even talking in the first place. That’s not the same as any old “small franchise”

Look. I’m not gonna be dissapointed or anything if it’s not them. I just think I am in a good enough position to lock in my bets is all.

Lloyd's pretty highly requested too. He's placed very well in fan polls.

And unlike Banjo Kazooie, Tales Of is still an ongoing series. Heck, we're getting a new title next year.

Also, Mega Man and Ryu both got in before an RE rep, aka Capcom's best selling series

Watch instead of Lloyd we get Yuri or Velvet. If the latter then Bird Theory had indeed been true after all this whole time. ;P

There's also Geno's costume to worry about, which could easily reappear when the trailers for Terry and Fighter #5 release.

If the costume returns, I'm chalking that up as a soft deconfirmation.

Given he's an Square rep and seems the Pass is going with an each from an different company. Probably not.

I could see him possibility as an post-Pass free bonus reveal alongside DLC fighter 5 though.
My fantasy could come true.

Heihachi reveal during Terry’s presentation.

Geno revealed as bonus fighter in the same stream. (maybe with a stage, but definitely with music)

DoomSlayer revealed as FP2-1 at The Game Awards.

Lots of fast paced reveals to set the tone of Smash in 2020.

It’s been exactly one year since the grinch leak surfaced and lots of memes were created. The good thing is banjo made it in (and maybe Geno in the future)

:ultincineroar:: remember kids don’t believe in any banner leaks on 4chan and Instagram it will all lead down to disappointment. People thought I was leakbait for these characters and look what happened one week later...

I wonder if there's any hope left for Geno as fighter #5.
It is possible for post fighters pass along with a couple other spirit characters

As I’ve said...be wary of leaks until people who know more say something. If it’s not Crash, Reimu or Ryu Hayabusa, that leaves the following series likely to be considered for a variety of reasons:

1) Resident Evil
2) Tekken
3) Devil May Cry
4) Tales of
5) Ace Attorney
6) Assassin’s Creed (?)
7) Digimon (doubt this one personally)

There are others, but I really don’t think it’s that crazy to think a character from one of these games could be the next newcomer.

The next DLC character is going to be the New Age Retro Hippie from Earthbound and you're going to like it.

There was a mistake. Here's Incineroar's real message.

Jin or Kazuya will in no way get in over Elderly Ryu who is the poster boy and mascot of Tekken. Mascots/Poster Boys are always the first picks when it comes to reps from new franchises.
Then why is it that Elderly Ryu has appeared in crossovers as well as marketing and recognition?

Pretty much the Poster Boy in that case.
Slime is the the mascot and poster thingy for Dragon Quest who's made the most crossover appearances of the DQ characters and yet Hero is in Smash.

Heihachi just happens to have more crossover appearances than Kaz and Jin (perhaps because of being Harada's favorite). All three of them can be considered equals unlike with Ryu being the obvious SF rep. Kazuya and Jin even appear in the Namco intro.


Like I said before, with Tekken it's similiar to Resident Evil in terms of main characters seeing as it's just not a single individual.

Another Smash Online Open was announced, pretty much the same rules as last time, 1v1, 3 stock, no items. The only difference is that Castle Seige and Frigate are out of the stage list. Top 4 get to go to Genesis
