I'm already in the Discord, and even then most of the time we don't really speculate as much as we do just talk about random things [not that I don't enjoy that, but it definitely speaks volumes about just how boring Smash speculation has become].
Chances are any skins/alt costumes for Crash would be limited to just ones from the original trilogy and not any of his Crash 4 ones
If Crash gets in, I’d love to see him with his classic skin.
Me personally while I'm trying to keep my expectations low and while I really don't follow leaks, I feel like there is a lot of smoke out there regarding Crash Bandicoot that one of them has and hopefully gotta be true.
I don't think they would use the About Time look to be honest. Going by how negotiations concluded by January of last year, the most recent models/designs they could easily use were the N.Sane Trilogy/Nitro Fueled designs of the Crash cast
What's funny is that N.Sane Trilogy design was very well received (Still is), But man once they unveiled "It's About Time" design in action, It really made me realize how much of an upgrade it was, "N.Sane's" art style try to lean a little more on the realistic side that did make some characters especially with fur look a little off, But I really love the direction they took with Crash 4 making it very cartoony, wacky and expressive, it's honestly hands down the best Crash Bandicoot has ever looked.
Crash 4 began development in 2017, so I don't think the timing hinders the chances of the crash 4 design to be chosen.
Do you mean two trailers at one event, or two reveals in a single trailer?
Steve’s trailer gave Alex, Zombie and Enderman separate tag lines. Then again they’re alts, not echoes or separate characters
Only if the two characters are from the same franchise or universe which is very unlikely. Like let's say KOS-MOS and a Xenoblade rep are both in the Pass, I could see them getting a double reveal together since they're from the same universe despite not being from the same franchise. Or Crash and Spyro since they would be from the same universe as well. Either scenario though is SUPER UNLIKELY.
That, and you're forgetting that the original trilogy is the most iconic part of Crash Bandicoot. They're going to use his most iconic appearance over a new sequel's art direction
Personally I hope it is a Yoshi situation where they let you use both. Still, I don't really think the new design is particularly more likely than the N. Sane design, just that the timing of things would not really influence the decision since Crash 4 has been in development since 2017.
It makes me nervous now
Eh, that's natural in Smash speculation.
As Joker said, prepare for the unexpected!
I'd be down for that!
As cool as that sounds, it's unfortunately not likely given how little time they have left vs how long it would take sidescrolling levels like that. The closest thing they could do to that with the time they have left are time trials, and I hate the time trials in Crash Warped.
Plot twist, it's just passing the first Boulder Level in Crash 1 on the PS1.
I was thinking more along the lines of something called "The Gem Challenge"; each "Gem" you earn has you play only as Crash (to get a feel for him) and fight battles against Smash fighters by game. The battles are as follows:
That is a more plausible concept
I really hope that if Crash Bandicoot was chosen for Smash, Then Activision provided Nintendo with the assets and 3D model from "It's About Time" well ahead of time during it's development period to promote the Switch port, But I can also see a case of it being a little too late from development stand point, But Regardless of what Crash Bandicoot joins it's likely gonna mostly represent the franchise as a whole in general.

I mean, given his videos I think it just means he is doing a deep dive into Crash. He did it for Project Hammer and Scalebound iirc. Him also not making the image means that I don’t think we need to ring the alarm bells just yet. Let’s see where the chips land with Crash this year.
I honestly doubt it, "It's About Time" pretty much replaced "Wrath of Cortex" and that game and "Twinsanity" weren't as successful or memorable compared to Crash 1-3 and CTR.
My only problem with this board is Aku Aku being a Novice when, in my opinion, he should be a Legend.
Well, if Aku Aku is a support spirit, his class will likely be based on the ability he offers.

That's not the kind of thing you would stay quiet about. Most people were already betting on this happening going by the previous Crash games as well as the Reignited Trilogy.
