I don't think it's meant to be taken 'literally'. He's not a robot, he's a normal person. Context always matters.
I mean...it's not touchy, it's that you're acting like Reggie, who was speaking in a PR sense to advertise his companies upcoming big game, slyly slipped in a deconfirmation for all characters represented in the series in other forms.
Ultimate was targeted for the more hardcore fanbase. The DLC and it's showing at TGA, specifically Joker, was likely to help draw in those who prefer other consoles such as the PS4 and don't know a thing about Ultimate.
Admittedly, if all the newcomers are completely new to the series, then well, it'll seem that folk weren't looking too deeply into Reggie's words.
Could maybe see that being a factor, but the driving force to that extent? That's a stretch.
Sorry yeah I hate to see someone get flooded with replies all saying the same thing but I happened to be typing up the other reply when I saw yours, but I think the main thing to look at here is not that because he didn't phrase it that way it won't all be new series but that we aren't deconfirming anyone who has someone else in the series. It honestly still could all be people new to the series, but I don't think he was trying to say that since it would be a major hint where they haven't really done that before.
I still think even if that's the case that won't have been what he was trying to say, it's way too big of a hint to just casually drop like that.
Listen ok, there are always different ways to interpret things. The fact that you're pushing your interpretation on me and not allowing any other one makes it that youre defensive and oppressive. I hit a nerve. I wont bring it back up.
I mean..I don't see how it's a stretch.
Okay, I'll stop then, but I'm just frustrated because this argument has come up frequently and I do not see how you can interpret it otherwise without twisting his words. Apologies if that comes across as rude, I just don't know how to explain it otherwise.
To me it's much simpler.. it's definitely not about twisting words, and I'll stop there for now. Maybe someday we'll feel back like talking about it. for now gonna try to mellow out.
I can assure you it's nothing more than tricky wording. It says they'll be new to the series, or basically new to Smash (the series in context). He never said the characters will be from new series.
That's awesome. It's cool to see someone get into it. I really dont know who brave could be right now with what we know, but that could change at some point. Either way it's the SE rep I'm really curious about.
Well damn that eliminates any semblance of doubt from my mind
I couldn't find the quote anywhere.

I gotta go for the day, but if someone finds it I'll check later.
Enjoy yourself in whatever case. Keep the hopes alive and enjoy smash in any case
Keep up the positivity my pal. Same to you.I couldn't find the quote anywhere.

Because it's implying that Reggie is going through all these hoops to speak specifically to those of the PS4 market when really, they obviously aren't gonna be the gurantee majority, and implying that they don't know anything about Smash kinda makes the whole "new to the series" thing pointless, since they aren't even familiar with what's supposedly the norm.
Gonna need a source and context on that.
Not seeing the quote you're referring to that supposedly contradicts matters here.
CLEARLY, Nintendo does not hate Waluigi. Because here I am with him as my main character. I mean look, we're making every character that's ever been in a Smash Bros. game available in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
So, there's nothing really there. Her just expresses how he views even assist trophies as characters in their own rights. Doesn't affect what he would say about upcoming DLC characters, and he certainly doesn't say anything about seeing Waluigi as some new character "new to the series".
He didn't say anything about Waluigi already being in Smash as an AT, he straight-up pointed out how people focus on one character that isn't part of the series, so he may as well mean the same thing about any character that's a Spirit or whatever, possibly not even thinking about them (heck there's so many Spirits I doubt he actually kept them in mind).
I actually agree. Slime is cute and a character I've actually known about for awhile unlike say Erdrick who I only learned of around E3 2018. If there had to be a DQ rep I would want it to be Slime.
...okay no I don't think this is fair.
Sorry buddy, but I'm gonna have to disagree with this.
You're probably right.
I don't think there is any issue with over analyzing but we just need to remember that that it's all speculation at this point.
And you'll notice, I never said he did. Waluigi just happens to be an assist trophy.
1. Unlike the TGA awards, that's a paraphrased interview from one site that you have to fish for. Show us a video with Reggie saying exactly that, and it's more on the level.
You missed the finish classic pic (I think it's Clouds) where he holds Zelda lying in the water unconscious. Tried to find the pic but I was unable to do so.The Direct that contained the Belmonts and Chrom bringed us two references.
And these aren't just me saying it. My friends interpreted them the same way, hence them sending me messages about it.
During the Direct itself, the reveal of Alucard ended with a curious placement. He ends his presence with a stance that uses his black cape in Midgar. You may know that Sephiroth is referenced in the original FFVII by "the man wearing a black cape", and indeed, his visuals at that moment called back Sephiroth.
On the same day, Chrom's page was opened and featured a picture of him with only one wing of an angel.
Not even mentioning the Congratulations screen that references the Nibelheim incident, since that is something from the Smash 4 days. The curious thing is this imagery repeating. You would think that the references would stop in the first game, right?
I understand your concern, but given that the FF representation in Smash is strictly VII, as stated by the blog and the game itself, we can only expect a VII character if any FF content comes.
I thank you for the kind message. And yes, I'm keeping the hype in check. Like I said, my mind tells me to expect Erdrick, but my gut feeling is telling me that it's too weird for us to have so much info on the S-E rep so far before the DLC launches.
My hope is the fact that Seph never appeared in Smash in any form, not even as a spirit, trophy or his theme in the music department. His addition would fit Reggie's words as well. But again, only keeping the hype in check. This is just me a reinvigorated by my friend that I didn't have enough time to thank him/her bc of college stuff.
I do not at all feel this is fair for reasons I have explained but I understand your perspective and do not feel any further compromise can be reached.
