I see character reveal. I'm instantly going to hope for Isaac whether it makes sense or not.

I do not, but I sure hope I'm wrong on that.I've got faith it'll be worth the wait.
How about this: it'll be worth the wait for SOMEONE.I do not, but I sure hope I'm wrong on that.
There probably would have been a big E3 presentation last June (that Min Min likely would have been a part of) if not for Covid, so eh, I don't know if I buy into the pattern.Obliviously Smash speculation is at an all time high right now but here is something else I’ve been thinking about:
Joker’s reveal - at the Game Awards (a big presentation)
Hero & Banjo’s reveal - Nintendo’s e3 direct (a big presentation)
Terry’s reveal - Nintendo’s usual September direct (a big presentation)
Byleth’s reveal - Smash dedicated presentation
Min Min’s reveal - Smash dedicated presentation
I think you all see where I’m going with this. I appears there may be a pattern of third party characters getting revealed in major directs/events. While first party characters get a dedicated Smash presentation.
Of course due to what’s going on in the world, it’s very possible the pandemic has altered this assumed pattern. So there is no guarantee this pattern is actually real. I just wanted to point out more possible evidence for this being a first party character revealed tomorrow.
Not to mention that Byleth and MinMin are the only first party dlc so far. 2 is a coincidence, 3 is a pattern, imoThere probably would have been a big E3 presentation last June (that Min Min likely would have been a part of) if not for Covid, so eh, I don't know if I buy into the pattern.
Not necessarily. Back during Smash 4 dlc, Sakurai held a separate event to show off Lucas, Roy and Ryu before Nintendo’s e3. Considering Sakurai revealed Min Min during his usual presentation of the character and their move set, I believe it would have been the same case of a separate event from Nintendo’s regular e3 direct.There probably would have been a big E3 presentation last June (that Min Min likely would have been a part of) if not for Covid, so eh, I don't know if I buy into the pattern.
Someone in the Geno thread was saying the Byleth trailer was 3 minutes and 55 seconds long. So timing doesn't seem to be an indicator of anything.I'm getting the vibes that, if the trailer is three minutes long, it'll be a third party with a nice cinematic.
I’m not sure was ever meant to be revealed at E3. The next fighter probably was. If a major third-party character doesn’t end up as one of the next two character, my suspicion will deepen regarding the amount of third-party characters in this pass.There probably would have been a big E3 presentation last June (that Min Min likely would have been a part of) if not for Covid, so eh, I don't know if I buy into the pattern.
I don’t think Nintendo said anything about a new franchise.It's about as likely for Isaac as it is for anybody else. The only thing we know for sure is that it's a new franchise, which means no Pokemon, no Mario (sorry Geno fans) and no Fire Emblem (thank ****ing God).
Beyond that? I think it's more likely to be a Nintendo character with just a 3 minute trailer, but we'll have to see.
How do we know that for sure? Did I miss something?The only thing we know for sure is that it's a new franchise
What signs?
That and Imran Khan doing a reference to Green Day, therefore Billie Joe Armstrong, its singer.Hideki Kamiya's retweeting a bunch of Viewtiful Joe for Smash comments, though that could just as easily be because he's happy to see that people want Viewtiful Joe back in some form. (or because he's messing with our expectations - could go either way, honestly)
That's also what I think.I expect Sakurai's message to be a delay of the other characters
That's often the case, you're right. Let's see what will happen.I guess the fact that the character hasn't leaked makes me think it could be a Nintendo character
It's certainly new games, but new series is not a set-in-stone rule. See Byleth.The only thing we know for sure is that it's a new franchise
I hope you're right.I really doubt we are getting a Pokemon for this pass considering the timing for that Spirit Event was after more DLC was confirmed in BK’s presentation.
That may be a possibility, but even then we are talking about DLC for a game that already had a Spirit Event. If there was always going to be a Pokemon in this pass, wouldn’t it make more sense that those Spirits would be saved for that pack similar to how we didn’t even get any Spirit Event for Three Houses before was confirmed?I hope you're right.
I feel like the DLC pass kinda throws a wrench in your logic though. I think if we got a fighter from the DLC pass (Urshifu) it would definitely be possible to have a new spirit board with content relating to the Isle of Armour and the Crown Tundra.
That was a joke about Green day's song that goes like "wake me up when september ends". It means nothing.That and Imran Khan doing a reference to Green Day, therefore Billie Joe Armstrong, its singer.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
That's also what I think.
That's often the case, you're right. Let's see what will happen.
It's certainly new games, but new series is not a set-in-stone rule. See Byleth.
Therefore, a Pokémon from SwSh or a Zelda character from BotW2 may happen, in my opinion. And to my dismay (since it means less opportunities for Isaac).
Yeah I know it's a joke on that.That was a joke about Green day's song that goes like "wake me up when september ends". It means nothing.
I still remember that like yesterdayI don't think I'm expecting anything in particular to be honest.
I guess the fact that the character hasn't leaked makes me think it could be a Nintendo character....but then Terry wouldn't have leaked if it wasn't for that mess up the day before so who knows?
Not only that, but they also had an in-game online tournament celebrating the game's release.That may be a possibility, but even then we are talking about DLC for a game that already had a Spirit Event. If there was always going to be a Pokemon in this pass, wouldn’t it make more sense that those Spirits would be saved for that pack similar to how we didn’t even get any Spirit Event for Three Houses before was confirmed?
I feel you on that one. He's the only character I've ever wanted, actually wanted in smash bros. I've wanted him ever since I realized I could want a character in, during the lead up to brawl.I wish Isaac was announced right now, just for the sake of being able to enjoy the following announcements without pressure. He is the only character I seriously want for the game.
I agree. Lloyd and Isaac are my definitive last wants, every other character I could like I'm totally fine without at this point, hell I was already satisfied by the end of pass 1 but since I was given a chance to hope for more then I just hope Isaac and/or Lloyd makes it in in this pass eventually. I literally joined the GS hype at the end of 2018 so I'm fresh, so you guys have been waiting for him for longer than I did for sure!I wish Isaac was announced right now, just for the sake of being able to enjoy the following announcements without pressure. He is the only character I seriously want for the game.
I'm in the exact same boat. I've been excited about the idea of Isaac in Smash since the days of following reveals on the Dojo site, and I really thought he might be a secret character when he didn't appear before launch. Then of course he was an AT in Brawl, then MIA in SSB4 and the DLC, then back to AT and a Mii costume in base Ultimate. It's been a long, often disappointing road, one I've been on for over 12 years at this point.I feel you on that one. He's the only character I've ever wanted, actually wanted in smash bros. I've wanted him ever since I realized I could want a character in, during the lead up to brawl.
Yeah I'm in the whatever will be will be mindset. The second smash pass was a nice surprise so I can only hope Isaac made it. Even if he doesn't, I think I'm pretty done with Smash speculation either way.I don't expect our wait to end tomorrow, but I'm hopeful for this pass as a whole. Isaac is my last true want for this game, I will happily retire from watching all things speculation if he's revealed, so here's hoping.
