I always found it a bit odd how people talk about how a series is "dead" whenever they get spirits. I don't consider it being dead at all. Getting in as a spirit, an assist trophy, or anything like that is awesome, in my opinion.

I'd be all for Spirits not deconfirming 'cause it'd give my precious Octolings another chance, but I'm not gonna lie I really think they do. Especially these RE ones.

There is a pretty darn good chance post-pass characters have been decided already and are being worked on as we speak. Why would they add RE spirits now if they already have a Fighter Pack coming with more RE content later? Wouldn't they just save the spirits for that? It doesn't make much sense, TBH, which is why I do think spirits deconfirm. Now more than ever.

Luigi's Mansion Three could've gotten some Spirits. I could see them adding a variant of Luigi with the new Poltergust, Googi, Helena, and the new generic ghosts.
Speaking of:

If it's for a newer game, you could argue that Spirits were added for the purpose of promoting the new game close to its release. Wouldn't be nearly as effective for them to wait for the new character several months later.

A random set of Spirits for a series with no new game is a little harder to defend though. I feel like there's a bigger reason why we're randomly getting these RE Spirits, but since there's no solid evidence of a new game coming out soon, it's just a theory.

As great as it is for me that my most wanted hasn't been Thanos'd yet, every day is still worrying.

Oh, so RE is disconfirmed? Darn. Real big hit on a hugely speculated series. Guess There's Dante, Lloyd, and Pheonix as frontrunners now. Maybe 2B, maybe KOS-MOS, maybe Sora or Heihachi although I feel like one or two of those were disconfirmed at one point.

Do we know for certain which company the character is from?

Well Zacian is busted so no wonder it atomized Charizard.

According to the list on the last page, Verg apparently said no Dante somewhere.

Steam's Autumn Sale is up, and the Resident Evil 2 remake is currently 67% off (about $26 Canadian). I enjoyed Resident Evil 4 and 5, but I disliked the gameplay of the Resident Evil 1 remake on the Gamecube - would this be worth getting?

Verg never said that. The only thing we heard about Dante was from Sabi on how they aren't fighter 5, so he's still in the running for post pass.

I'm not sure what to think about DLC moving forward. This RE news has shook a lot of my own personal theories up.

Right now, my gut is telling me that it's 2B, Reimu, or a Tales character. Tekken seems likely too.

TGA's gonna be wild.

Actually, this begs to question.


Resident Evil is ****ING HUGE, yet it's nothing but a Spirit.


Couldn't this also be akin to what Sakurai meant with "New worlds" or some ****?



Cause like, if Sakurai's willing to throw ****ing Resident Evil, one of the biggest IPs period under the bus, and a series which has 0 representation in Ultimate...


Why is everyone soo ****-sure that all the DLC characters going forward will be exclusively 3rd party, when all these series we talk about could be nothing more than Spirits.

Jones, *Page long essay as to why Spirits deconfirm*

*This happens*

*Page long essay as to why Spirits may not technically deconfirm at all*
You don't have to roast the actual teacher fam. Are there even ashes left?

Again, do we know for sure what company the next fighter is from?
Nah. Capcom just has a lot of THE GOOD ****. To be worth adding.

I'm HIGH-KEY thinking Astral Chain and Three Houses are inevitable at this point, and that's flippin' awesome.

I love the lake of outrage because the patches of grass are relatively small, but all the Pokémon are these huge fully evolved boys. So these giants will all spawn at once and start charging at you.

If you think about it, Leakers are kinda like Time Travelers;
They know what's gonna happen, before it actually does :troll:

Thank you for coming to my TED talk
