Image Sakurai or Nintendo going, "Oh wow, *insert hypothetical character here* may be super iconic, popular, and has a ton of moveset potential but he doesn't have a cute sidekick so we can't include him."

Companion theory is dumb.

Each character is associated with a color.

Piranha Plant=green
Joker=red
Hero=purple
Banjo=yellow

Because Nintendo definitely chose the DLC characters based off color schemes and not something as ridiculous as popularity or moveset potential, we'll be seeing someone with blue or orange next.
Well an alternative take would be that once they were done deciding the characters, they realised they could present it that way on the site due to coincidence.

Banjo himself isn’t yellow, but the tips of Kazooie’s feathers are. Plus, a yellow bg makes them stand out, so it’s moreso aesthetic choice. Joker wears mostly black after all, but his gloves are red.

still say blue is KOS-MOS and orange is Elma tbh

Your favorite movie except peter griffin is a main character and he keeps cutting away from the main plot
That would ruin most movies that actually try to be good.

"So that Elsa chick. She ran all the way to the top of the mountain in a dress? Geez, she must run track or something. You might be able to do that too, Meg, if you weren't so freakin' fat!"

Well an alternative take would be that once they were done deciding the characters, they realised they could present it that way on the site due to coincidence.
Regardless, it's a ridiculous theory. The only way it could be true is if it really was sheer coincidence, meaning there's no reason to put stock in the theory to begin with.

Roy is green and Dr. Mario is red. Color theory doesn't really cut down any characters at all IMO.

It's a liiiitle bit early, as we have nearly a year to go, but **** it: what do you think will be shown off at Nintendo's 2020 E3? Keep in mind that AC will have already been out for a few months, Smash DLC will have wrapped up and next year could well be a break year for Pokemon titles. Our first look at the long awaited MP4? More details on BotW 2? Something else?
E32019 just ended fam

I mean red is a significant color in P5 in general and Banjo has a lot of collectibles that are gold/honey based (surprised you didn’t mention his pants)

So it doesn’t have to correlate to the actual character but just needs to be a color that can be associated like how Cloud has Midgar green for his.

anyone remember music theory
Now that theory actually did have some stock in it.

Right after a unique character's reveal, the next song to be revealed would be the first song from their franchise uploaded on the site. When Isabelle was delayed, so was the song for that week, along with a few other posts. When she was officially revealed, the next song was from, you guessed it, Animal Crossing.

So really, the only newcomer that this didn't apply to was Incineroar, a character from an extremely popular franchise that definitely should've had a song uploaded by then if people weren't supposed to be suspicious.

Never really understood why people treated this theory like a joke but felt like the Chair Theory might be on to something.

I thought it was legit too. It made a lot of sense.

I was really hoping that the E3 direct would just have Bowser voice acted by Doug Bowser as the co-host

The only theory I put any stock in is the Sakurai Theory.

It’s a scientific theory based on science where you sacrifice a goat, consume its blood, and perform a mantra whilst sitting in a pentagram. This mantra is chanted whilst saying Sakurai’s name plus the character you want to see in the game over and over. Pure Science.

It’s technicaly a theory as Sakurai may or may not hear your pleas in the astral realm and can’t actually be proven that he acts according to your pleas but like everything in science, we have faith that he will come through. That or I wasted a perfectly healthy goat.

The goat didn't deserve this.

Mii Costume Theory is possible but pretty much a coincidence if it's true as it's easier for Sakurai to get another character from a company already onboard for the series(so Capcom, Sega, Namco, and SE) rather than a whole new company(Microsoft is probably the only new company) so it just worked out that way in the end.

2. Any Megaman subseries, but particulary X or Legends
3. Skies of Arcadia
4. Deus Ex
5. Ninja Gaiden
Honorable mention that I would like but don't trust EA:
-Rogue Squadron

Somebody already wished for a Earthworm Jim reboot on a monkey's paw.

He's getting a reboot but it's exclusive to the "Intellivision Amico" a wii rip off console that's coming out 10 years too late.

I like the rainbow theory a lot more than the companion theory, though I don't think either are really true. That said, Geno for blue and Isaac for orange would be pretty nice.

1. Sin and Punishment (seriously, please)
2. Beyond Oasis (also please, Sega)
3. Ninja Gaiden (assuming there's nothing in the works)
4. Valkyrie Profile (Square Enix probably says no)
5. Fatal Fury (it's been almost 20 years, and KOF doesn't count)

Yep, it is confirmed. Our next fighter is going to be a Generation 8 starter.

I like both the Sidekick and Rainbow theory but I expect the former to get debunked with the next fighter but the color one might hold some water.

Unless we get something like pink or gray lol.

Another discussion, I’m still really satisfied the MS and SE wars have finally reached a conclusion.



....How long til months of Capcom and Namco wars start?

It started a few hours after Banjo’s reveal

Without any credible leaks though, it hasn’t gotten crazy yet.

Right now dude lol. I've already seen some Resident Evil VS Ace Attorney debates.

That being said, the idea that the last two newcomers have to be from Capcom/Namco is nothing but assumptions on the part of the community. I don't see any reason to believe that aside from the Mii Costume theory.
