Yeahh. I heard. Oof lol. I had a feeling it would be, but I really wanted to believe. I'm not giving up though, Geno and Doom can still get in.

That's good optimism.

 

[Lamperouge]

Then support 'em. You're most likely getting them in the second pass, so there's still some time.

For now, let a woman take the invite and close the pass on a positive note.

Is it possible for you to, like, cool it with the feminist agenda just a little bit?

Fighter #5 doesn't have to be female to be a worthy inclusion.

 

[SneakyLink]

“Let”?

No, it’s every Smash candidate for themselves.

So we are gonna put every candidate into a Battle Royale just to see who's next?

 

[Rangez]

Well Mii Leak has been confirmed fake so were back to square one.

So what, it's actually fake? Like for real?

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Oh it was?

Guess I won the best then.

I know. I'm just campaigning. Anyone is fair game, though I'm just doing my job supporting the kind of character I want for FP5.

I know, I know. But while we still don't have credible information on FP5, I'm still here doing Lesley things. And that will stay until FP5 is revealed.

Well, we can still speculate on who will be at TGA, so there’s still that.

Sabi says fighter 5 isn’t Crash, Tracer, Doomguy, Ryu Hayabusa or Geno. Let’s assume Spirits at least disconfirm fighters for the first 5 (though I believe that it won’t change post-fighter 5).

We have these characters from untouched series:

Leon/Jill (Resident Evil)
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Heihachi (Tekken)
Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)
Lloyd Irving (Tales)
Yuri Lowell (Tales, though I think Lloyd has the edge)
2B (Nier Automata)
Amaterasu (Okami)
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
Geralt (Not sure about him, technically not a “gaming” character)

There are others, but I feel these ones are relatively interesting picks. Some are big picks with legacy, some are newer.

I’m sure there are a few I’m missing. I personally think Leon/Jill and Dante have the edge as Capcom picks, but I have mentioned that many times, but others may have differing opinions. Heihachi would be the last major fighting game character to really match up with Terry and Ryu. 2B could be a surprise like Joker, but with the Mai Shiranui comments I’m not sure if she’s prime for “good boys and girls”.

Lloyd has gotten specific mention by Sakurai with Tales, and it takes more than popularity for a character to get in, which is why I don’t know that Yuri will get in over him.

Geralt getting in entirely depends on, I suppose, the philosophy of being a “gaming” character. The gaming version of Geralt seems to have become his very own thing, being perhaps more well known than his novel counterpart. He’s already crossed over into Soul Calibur. Who knows?

What do you think?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So besides Doom Slayer who too would make a perfect reveal for an big event like the VGA? Not counting ones already deconfirmed for FP5 like Crash.

Not sure if Hayabusa was deconfirmed fully yet, but he'd be cool.

I think Heihachi, Scorpion, Sora or Dante would be crowd pleasers.

Throw in KOS-MOS and I think that's a perfectly reasonable list.

I feel like a lot of people are really sleeping on her chances.

I suppose Dante could be a game awards tier reveal. But just barely.

Like, at this point it’s either someone from Dark Souls or someone who’s not really that big all things considered.

I still don't understand why you all are relying on Sabi but uhh. Yeah maybe Lloyd or Heihachi at the vga's. Sora would break the internet too probably.

I'm pretty pessimistic about the chances of Dante, Amaterasu, 2B or any other "recent" characters.

It sounds a bit conspiracy-y, but I don't think DLC frontloading the newer characters was a coincidence. I think Joker (and Eleven, to an extent) was picked to attract newer fans and the rest of the pass consists of more usual "legacy picks".

Just a dumb theory but I honestly expect another 80s-90s character as our last Fighter Pass character.

Watch us not get anything Smash related at the VGA's just to drive everything crazier.

 

[Lamperouge]

I doubt that the hypothetical Smash announcement at the VGA has to feature a major video game icon in order to make sense.

The character really could be anybody, honestly.

 

[Wyoming]

Also I wanted to say I think there's still hope for doom and geno even if the leak is dead. I don't think just because it's fake they're both deconfirmed.

Not disconfirmed as DLC but Sabi's source claims to know who fighter 5 is, and it's not those two or Crash and Ryu.

What's your definition of game awards tier, then, if it's not popular and successful series?

And Vergeben has also said fighter 5 isn't Scorpion or Pajama Sam (though that last one may have been a joke)

Watch us not get anything Smash related at the VGA's just to drive everything crazier.

I used to think that Smash at the VGA's had a low chance of happening because I didn't think they'd do it two years in a row, that's just too predictable. But I was also of the opinion that we'd get a reveal BEFORE the game awards during a dedicated Smash direct. Which we didn't get, we just got Terry's presentation. Like, unless we get another reveal event before them by some sort of universal computer error, there's gonna be all sorts of pressure and false hype built up by the casual fanbase because "if they're saving it for the game awards it must be big" but all the big characters that it could be have been de confirmed by the leakers so it's gonna be someone smaller that people are going to be dissapointed by. Like if instead of revealing Joker last year they showed the Kencineroar trailer to reveal the last two base game characters. It just doesn't bring up as much hype. So now, I'm actually hoping that the reveal isn't at the game awards to save them from that PR nightmare and so that people will actually be excited for whoever it is.

So when we inevitably get a reveal at the game awards and it's someone like Heihachi or Lloyd or Phoenix Wright or Leon.... people are just not gonna be as excited compared to if they were revealed in a regular old direct. Maybe Leon/Resident Evil could generate that reaction but I'm not really sure if it would.

Aside from (arguably) Hero, none of the fighters in the Pass were major video game icons.

*waits for Banjo fans to calm down*

I think "influence" might be a better criteria to look for than sales. Persona, Dragon Quest and Fatal Fury/KoF all affected their genres quite a bit and Banjo is very popular among a certain age demographic, even if only one of them has big sales to back it up.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

What's your definition of game awards tier, then, if it's not popular and successful series?

Something like Snake, Cloud, or Joker. Someone that nobody was expecting for whatever reason, someone that breaks our previously established notions of who can be in Smash, someone who people never even considered.
