That's not a tie in.
That's a "If you want to learn more about the characters, go play their games"
Fair enough, but regardless there’s been some game put alongside them, so that listing is very interesting.

Hero was more of a tie in because right after his reveal, Dragon Quest 11S was shown off. And pretty much everything DQ11 related was said to be sourced from the Definitive Edition on Switch, even though the PS4 version existed. Then there was extreme marketing for 11 (and Bulders 2) for the next month or two, and then Dragon Quest 3, which also got major representation in Smash, conveniently got a port on Switch the exaxt same day 11S came out.

But even then, that wasn't stated to be a tie in, but that is the closest we got to having one (it might as well be). Banjo and Terry got jack compared to Hero.

Jon from Gamexplain said in the video covering the announcement, that he thinks it could be edelgard or maybe even his darling Arle.

Which with that Puyo Puyo game coming on the 16th and the past two characters having game tie ins, and the other hints I'm going full in that its Arle
I see no reason to trust him over anyone else. And I’m also certain it’s not Arle.

She’s coming to Crash Team Racing.

Who would win:

A random 4chan post

or

Jon Gamexplain:

whose leaked the epic yarn port, all the final fantasy games coming, banjo, the Pokémon dlc, Ridley, daisy, knew of incenroar and Ken which is why they refused to cover the grinch leak on GX, and honestly probably more I’m not thinking of.

Jon isn’t some random person. He has plenty of information

He’s not leaking. He’s just saying what he wants.

And the CTR part was a JOKE.

Eh. He says what he wants, but he quite literally guessed the Pokémon DLC and had all the Smash DLC right so far in their predictions. He's also guessed plenty of ports and small spin-offs before.

He says he's not an insider but in reality he's either a really good businessman capable of predicting the moves of various companies in a game of 4D chess or he legit has inside information.

I'll let you decide which is the most likely of the two.

This'll probably get buried.

So today from my college I was given a week to literally redo half the work I was doing the past four months and if not, I'll probably have to leave what I'm doing.
One of the toughest weeks in years for me has begun and it's a low chance of pulling it off.
So yeah, one of the worst days I've had in about three years.

Regardless though that Smash Bros FP5 reveal and Isekai Quartet Season 2 starting will be my only sense of respite. Seriously wish me luck guys.
If anything if I get it all done, that Smash reveal of mostly whoever it is will be pretty rewarding.

Seriously talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.

So here's something I've discovered today.

I was searching through Youtube to add some Kirby remixes to one of my music playlists and it turns out that you can't save any sort of video that is deemed kid-friendly to a playlist.

This COPPA thing is gonna get worse, isn't it?

Speaking of, the dumb****s at Coppa are increasing the age which Coppa affects from 13 to....
16. GODDAMN 16 year old or younger are (possibly) now affected by this law

"Although this “do not sell” right will function as an opt-out for Californians who are at least 16 years old, for those under 16 the CCPA creates an opt-in regime."

I hope either Jon is right about Edelgard or um... I don't know her name... Amy? is right about Shantae.

Other than them, my big hope would be Agumon.


Or maybe we'll get a Turnabout Reveal..?

I’m excited for Smash, of course, but right now I’m distracted by Crash Team Racing. It’s about time for them to reveal, not just the next Grand Prix, but the next Grand Prix Roadmap. Meaning the next three grand Prixs themes will be revealed, as well as some of their content. It could happen at any moment.

This is quite a hot take.

You’d be hard pressed not to find someone who thinks he’s not a leaker. Hell he specifically used the legendary birds as examples for what would be in the Pokémon dlc. Now if you don’t find that a tad suspicious then I don’t know what is.

Yeah that’s Amy who said Shantae, she’s kinda of joined them recently after she started dating Derrick. It’s fun to have more GX crew members though.

Also imagine if end of the direct:

Sakurai: “Thank you for tuning in today. We have no further announcements so please look forward to the future”

“OBJECTION!”

Would be pretty hype

Guess we got news this week. Finna hope it's Jin or MMX or Hayabusa. Anyone else would be fine I guess. The Pass became good when Terry joined so I'm chillin'.

What if it's just Hayabusa.

after all these months of crazy speculation, we end up with the guy who we all thought was in to begin with.
We Izuna Drop fools. All according to plan.

I'm really gonna laugh though if this character isn't a huge blowout character.

Everyone thinking it woulda been this massive drop at the game awards and then.

I'm going in this presentation with no expectations, mainly because to avoid disappointment and I honestly have no idea who it could be. I just pray for no leaks.

Now to find a way so I can watch it from start to finish spoiler free as it airs while I am at work.

While Banjo and Terry didn't have a new game, Sakurai still said to go play Banjo Kazooie on Xbox and talked about various KOF games you could play on Switch. Hero had a brand new game, so Arle having one of her games come out so Sakurai can try and promote it wold make sense imo.
That doesn't count. I heard people say Terry was an ad for SNK Heroines. Despite Smash having ZERO content from that game, and Terry having a legacy as long lasting as Sonic. But ****** are indeed stupid.

And since Banjo Kazooie hasn't had anything remotely new since like Rare Replay(if we're being generous here)I don't think they count either.

So the new character could easily have a long lasting legacy despite no new games either.

To be fair, every character is probably someone's huge fan dream. Not too many of us here in the states gives a **** about Dragon Quest, but it's huge in Japan. N64 Oldheads ADORE Banjo and Kazooie. Mexico and China/the FGC got their People's Champ with Terry. Young Bois got Joker.

And 3 of those 4 weren't taken too seriously as guess until some leak or datamine. We only talked about SNK on occasion. And DQ was a hot topic only because of the Brave file datamine. Banjo-Kazooie was seen as a pipe dream too.

It'd be MORE of a shock if it was someone we DID guess.

Or 8:am if you're me.

Which is perfect, because that means I'll get to see most, if not all, of it before classes start here
There's a good chance I might not be able to see it all as I got a doctors appointment at 10 AM. I'll have to leave the house before that time.

Which is why I'd appreciate anyone who might remember to send me the entire Smash Direct through PM so I can avoid being spoiled of the possibility of there being more then one fighter being revealed.

Anyways.

Hoping: Phoenix Wright
Predicting: Dante

I don't mind Dante and would be excited given his moveset potential but I would prefer Phoenix.

Got all of the TMs in Pokemon Sword. I also bought the rest of the Gym outfits I forgot to get. Still missing the Trapper Hats, and even though they're really ugly I'll get them eventually.

It's a good aww. I slightly happier for now thank you.

Seriously though it's not the work that ****ting me. It's trying to explain to someone why you haven't been in their class at all.
