Well, Paragon said something about the Amiibo theory originally too so I thought they were the same

Either way since it’s paragon I don’t believe it

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have anything to do with paragon though unless I missed something.

It was made by people on reddit and someone sent it to geno’s. It’s just a theory based on when and how each smash set has been released for amiibo

It definitely doesn't seem like the kind if game to announce in a random 2019 direct, although Smash was teased in the March 2018 one.

There's a possibility they could announce it at the end of the September/October direct (which will be a thing) - something's gotta be that one last thing, though the final bit of Smash DLC could be it ... maybe

I really try to keep an open mind about all potential character choices, but I just can't get excited for the possibility of Lloyd Irving as a smash character. I'm open to other perspectives, but this is how I feel right now.

I'm not saying that he's a bad character or that the Tales of: series isn't deserving of being in smash, and I'm 100% sure Sakurai could come up with a completely unique moveset with double swords/some other mechanic from his game, but I feel he brings nothing unique to the game stylistically. At this point having another JRPG protagonist feels gratuitous to me, especially one that doesn't have anything to distinguish himself from the other JRPG protagonists already on the roster.

We have Hero as the archetypal JRPG protagonist, Cloud as the most famous JRPG protagonist, and Joker, while not having the legacy of the last two, is very distinct in terms of style from most JRPG protagonists. Lloyd just seems like we’re retreading the same ground again, I honestly would probably be more receptive of his possible inclusion if we didn’t already have Hero or Joker in the pass.

Of coarse this is all just an opinion, but it would seem unwise for them to triple dip into the same genre if they want to bring new audiences to smash.

Sakurai is an anime lookin JRPG guy, don't blame him for wanting his own species a little love.

My bet is we get another anime or cartoony character (Like Crash or Lloyd) and a more realistic character (like Doomguy, Hayabusa, or Leon Kennedy)

All I'm saying is that Little Mac is an anime swordsman cause arms are essentially just fleshy organic swords.

He and every Nintendo ninja owns a real-life Killing Edge in order to exterminate leakers at their doorsteps.

Basically any good legacy character. So yes, I want Hayabusa.

Anyone else aggressively camp on the DLC page on the Smash Bros site waiting for Hero’s release date to say “coming soon” or is that just me

This is how I feel as well, I'd be happy for Lloyd fans as I know they've wanted him since the Brawl days, but I really want to see some other genres on the Fighters Pass. Like Hayabusa and Dante are sword users but also hail from the character action genre and would be something different.

I’m just waiting for his video to shadow drop

I’ll know because of a sudden influx of posts saying “what?”

Feel like Doomguy would bring the balance, representing something new
Got our toons (The Plant, Banjo)
Our anniemaze (Joker, Hero)
And now for someone on the more gritty, realistic look

I think the Platform in genre is somewhat underepped, but I think Smash is sorely missing a character from a shooter.
