While normally I'd get it, I gotta say - and yeah, this is personal bias - as her game is one of the best I've ever played I love the idea of playing as her in the greatest crossover ever. It's awesome she's in Soulcalibur, but being in Smash is such a different beast when you can consider who she would be able to mix it up with. I think the two franchises are different enough to work.
Oh I definitely agree there will be a Square Rep. However I am basing that on the fact that is Square’s most likely move, not because of Vergeben. Square loves cross promotion it’s true they are stingy, but they are willing to play along if it’s in their best interest. Which in this case it is, because it gives then cross promotion. Square has made a presence in almost every recent fighting game with a guest character, Noctis in Tekken 7, 2B in Soul Calibur and they even let Behemoth be in Monster Hunter World. Due to the high amounts of recent cross promotions I really doubt they will not have a second rep, in one of the biggest if not the biggest fighting game of the year.
I would also like for fans to stop pushing the "a character has to be on a Nintendo console" rule, because that has been broken so many times when it comes to third parties, I'm surprised that people still use it. Really, this "rule" should've died back when Cloud got revealed. It's obvious that they don't care about console exclusitivity like the fans seem to think, because if they did cared about that we wouldn't have those characters to begin with.
Even if a character did not appear on a Nintendo console (Cloud, Joker) other games in their franchises have been on Nintendo consoles. There has yet to be a character whose entire franchise never appeared on a Nintendo console.
Okay, that's a good point I'll admit that. There has been no third party where it hasn't appeared on a Nintendo console completly, even still that's just minor. But people still need to stop saying that some of these games, especially the recent games NEED to be on Nintendo console in order to be in Smash. We still don't have Street Fighter V on the Nintendo Switch, and who knows if we are going to get the next mainline Final Fantasy game on the Switch. Stuff like that are up in the air until proven otherwise.
Well, Nintendo did have to deal with BOTH Sega and Atlus to even approve Joker, whose to say they can't do the same thing with Square and Disney. They did have to deal with two companies for Joker, one of them was already in the game anyway.
Except with Sora, you would have to go through the biggest multimedia corporation on the planet. Given that Sakurai likes representing characters faithfully, some Disney characters may have to be licensed out and they would have to get the license to the Mickey Mouse logo because it's on a keychain on Sora's Keyblade.
Just replace it with something else, like Kairi's pendant. Again, they don't need the Disney elements to represent Kingdom Hearts. The Disney properties for the series as of recently are more than backdrops for the world to push the story forward. Just use original stuff that's exclusive to Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts alone. That's all they have to do, it's not that hard as people try to make it out to be! Use places like Twighlight Town, or Destiny Islands as a stage, use original KH tracks like "Simple and Clean." The Disney stuff aren't THAT NEEDED!
Keep in mind Disney is not as hard to negotiate with as everyone makes it sound.
Except "muh relevancy" is still incredibly relevant for third party characters.
Even if Super Mario RPG is dead RIGHT NOW; people still are not taking into factor the statement about the Octopath team remaking some classic RPG in the future.
I mean, yeah, I'm not, because it hasn't happened yet. I'm going with what's relevant right now.
Most of us are still riding Dragon Quest's **** rn.
I think 2B is a dead cause. I appreciate that ole homegirl is beloved, but I doubt they'd have put her in Soul Calibur if she was also showing up in Smash.
I still trust Verg on the Square topic, but honestly, I'm all open to see Sora or any of the characters that weren't on the list. It honestly just depends on how far Nintendo wants to go with "unexpected" additions.
I mean, I don't. Because he also was definite in that the Squenix rep would be the first DLC announced.
If we get someone "unexpected" can it at least be the OG's?
I'll never understand why people call Ridley irrelevant when he never stopped showimg up in Metroid games. Heck, they even added him in the Metroid 2 remake and that was his one absence from the 2D games(which makes Prime 2 the only game Ridley does not appear in some form)
Apparently on the inner circle Sephiroth is believed to be out, tough its based on speculation on their part alone if I'm not mistaken
I believe you may be mistaken actually. It seems there's a definite reason why they're just not saying, as it's said he's in a similar situation to Sora.
I based what I said on the State of Geno post by Fatmanonice
Tough by the looks of it, I misinterpreted what he said, by believing that his theory was the conclusion inside the circles and not only his.
The rule has literally never been broken lol.
Probably Geno himself. I mean, I kinda get it, while K. Rool proved you don’t have to be relevant, Geno’s in a whole other level of irrelevance. He’s a really interesting phenomenon.
While I normally Should update the thread with those information. I won't for the simple reasons that... I still feel some sort of biase here.I based what I said on the State of Geno post by Fatmanonice

Something weird is clearly going on with him right now. Ever since he talked about the Minecraft content being a boss, he hasn't been "right" about his statements (he can still be right, but it's clear people won't put as much trust on him as before), and oddly enough, the info that he has shared clearly comes from the same sources he's talked about before (the ones that provided him info on Ridley, Simon, Isabelle, Incineroar and the Isaac AT), so there was no reason for him to hesitate any info he got.
Because Nintendo has clearly managed to spread a ton of misinformation back during pre-release, no? And what misinformation are you even talking about? We only ever believed Metroid would be shown because of a online store listing which was speculative in the first place.
