Hear me out.
Rathalos Tweet:
Link -> Marth -> Shulk
these three have now all been revealed on the blog. They wen in this order.
Link -> Marth -> Shulk
Clearly this only means on thing, Isaac is coming, and sometime soon.
What I ALWAYS found interesting about the Rathalos pic is the detail that can be gleamed from within it. More specifically, the order of the characters in the photo. Link, Marth, Shulk. In that order. They aren't randomly arranged. They are ordered in order of thier appearance in the super smash bros series, starting with link for 64, marth for melee, and Shulk for 4. They could have easily ignored composition entirely and put shulk in the front, followed by link, followed by marth. But they made the conscious decision to line up the characters in this specific order, and then cut off the photo with Shulk. That alone tell's me that the image is more then a throw away piece of nothing, but that there's a care going into this on some level.
Anyways. This is the defense i've used multitude of times when discussing the significance of it in it's entirety. If it were in fact a throwaway piece of nothing, then why would they pay ANY mind to something as ultimately subtle as that. It's for that reason that I feel that in order to explain away the photo we need something far more significant then "it's just a coincidence" This specific ordering for the blog is what has now finally tipped me over. I used to believe that the pic was nothing, that Isaac's chances were predicated on King K rool and the ballot, and nothing else. While remaining very, very firm on the distinct possibility of his inclusion based on that alone. But i've opened up since then, and fully accept this as evidence now.
For all that reason and more. It's hard for me to disagree with your assessment. The time has come. There are infinite possibilities. But I think the reality we've found ourselves in is the one where we at last win. Then as Neon put it, we can become one with the force in peace.
