Woo boy they better pray that’s not the case.

People will ****ing lose it between the leaks for him, not being as popular as other choices, and for not being banjo after all this teasing.

It’s about to get potentially scary
If it’s just Erdrick I still think Banjo will come later

Imagine if it’s neither Banjo, Erdrick, nor Steve at E3 but someone totally out of left field

This place will have a nuclear meltdown lmao

You never know with sakurai. there could be 2. but i'd still only expect one

I think both characters can still easily be dlc 2 and 3, so it doesnt really 'make or break' any characters

Honestly that terminology doesn't sound that conclusive. It's a hit, but Sakurai could very well just be keeping the surprise cause why would you confirm there's gonna be two reveals rather than leaving it ambiguous? Perhaps I'm just being optimistic.

"He said character!"

"They wouldn't want to ruin the surprise!"



This is going to be a fun 2 and a half days ain't it.

Does this mean there will only be one character reveal at E3?
If that's the case.... then I'm betting it's Erdrick.

Well, while I haven’t seen it myself, it looks like we might get one fighter this time.

Looking forward to it! Unless I hear something about Erdrick, I am starting to assume it’s Banjo.

But not 100% yet, because it could be anything.

Exactly, the fact that he said "a character" means nothing (especially with sakurai lol), I think we will get Roto and Banjo at the ndirect

Unless Banjo is revealed tomorrow, thus Sakurai isn't wrong about Eardrake

Alright y'all...

Banjo or Erdrick at E3?

place your bets
Banjo. I don’t think Erdrick is coming and if he was I don’t think he’d be the only character revealed at E3. If we were only getting one, it’s gotta be someone bigger. If we get two, and Erdrick shadow drop and teaser of three 3 is entirely possible. After all that’s still only one fighter released fully.

We know for a FACT, we’re getting one character now.

Can we get 2? Yeah, it’s possible.

But only go in expecting one if you don’t wanna set yourself up for disappointment

Ya fam, I ain't sold on just 1 character.


The time constraint of 2020 February doesn't allow 'only' one to be shown off.


Do I think one will be revealed and released soon? Absolutely.


But a TEASER for 3 is very likely imo.
At this point, who knows. Pretty sure the initial schedule that we created in our heads told us we would've know who DLC character #2 is by Joker's second trailer. Apparently, it just takes longer to create a character than we thought.

On a similar topic, this slow speed of reveals makes me think a second pass is unlikely.

All I can say is...


Thank god I actually got **** to do over these next 2 days. I couldn't imagine arguing over schematics when VRPlant will just leak it a day early anyway.

At least it'll only last 2 and a half days. Never forget the Box Theory wars.

Right now I think it's reasonable to believe either scenario (he only mentioned DLC fighter 2, but that doesn't necessarily exclude a second reveal+the supposed insider leaks of two characters), we'll know Monday at the earliest at least.

Honestly if we don't get Erdrick then I have no idea what's going on with the Square stuff.

especially with sakurai lol
I don't think it's about Sakurai being a troll, but rather how Japanese doesn't have plural nouns, so there could be, but it's not 100% guaranteed, a translation error.

After all, they mistranslated one instance of "Special" into "Ultimate" in the August 8 Direct despite it not being a pun on the game's title.

It's not impossible, but it's kinda dumb to get your hopes up for anything more.

"We'll only show off one character."
"Oh, so we could get two?"
"No, just one."
"Woah, did he hint at three?!"
"ONE CHARACTER!!"

Are there not no plurals in Japanese? So 'character' and 'characters' would be the same word.
