True. It really does depend on how they do it. Heck, they could even throw in a fourth or even fifth fighter just to spice things up. Full on Battle Royale!
I don't know about the cameos from Tawna and Coco in the trailers, but these are some interesting concepts for potential Crash trailers. I myself am expecting his splash art to be "Crash Crashes The Party" and his trailer to involve Mario and Sonic in some way
Make it a battle between the classic arcade/console headliners!
Then I'll have played Crash 1-4 and CTR! Quite the proper build-up if I do say so myself...Yeah, about that...God I really want E3 to get here. I'm trying to just live in the moment until then. I really kind of want Smash speculation to be over so I don't have to wonder about this anymore. Lol
Really looking forward to Crash 4 in the meantime. It looks so much fun! I'll have to wait until April to get it on Switch, but I think it'll be worth it. I'll have to beat it before Crash comes to Smash!
Oh I knew that. I was talking about the digital event. I won't say it's impossible, but I feel like the digital event will go on fine. We were already having events like that last year. I suppose it's not definate that Nintendo is participating, but I'd say it's really unlikely that they won't.
I'm pretty sure they had to adjust their whole 2020-2021 schedule and would be shocked if this year they didn't have a June blowout that was planned around all of this.
They're likely to be a little more ready this time, seeing as regular Nintendo Directs are seemingly becoming a thing again.
Not gonna lie, the first one would legit make me think we're getting a new Crash game....and then we get Pyra'd all over again

Only one that'd be missing is Bonk.Although in fairness the TG16 Mini is a thing anyway.
Crash
Catching up on the thread, but Monster Hunter being the only upgrade would make a LOT of sense given how massive the franchise is. It's a bigger franchise than every other Smash 4 Third Party Mii Costume combined at this point (only Tekken even comes close and with the more recent stuff Monster Hunter has eclipsed it pretty handily). Not only has it become huge, but it's spent a decade being very known for its Nintendo console releases starting with Tri in 2010 and working up to Rise coming out later this month. I don't think it would be saying really anything other than how big Monster Hunter is and how beloved it is (it also follows Dragon Quest's general trajectory of being massively popular in Japan, but unlike DQ, it's made a huge breakthrough in the West now too).
Except there's one MASSIVE problem with Monster Hunter's chances: the original deal that fell through. If Monster Hunter was supposed to happen, it would've occurred no later than the end of the first Fighter Pass. Imran Khan confirmed that a MH deal fell through, and Byleth's moveset is very reminiscent of how the Hunter would work. Add on to the fact that the developers don't like the idea of the Hunters in fighting games at all (further strengthened by how poorly MCVI did), and that Sakurai respects the will of developers, it doesn't make sense to expect any additional MH content beyond the Miis and a spirit event for Rise. That, and remember, the monsters themselves are the real stars of the series and the hunters are just generic player avatars with customizable armor and weapons.
All Understandible, But i wonder if Nintendo was the one who decided the choice of maybe adding Monster Hunter as a fighter.
Nintendo was the one making the deal. If they wanted a Hunter that badly, it would've happened sooner and not later. Capcom isn't stingy with IPs or music like Square Enix's international record holders are. Capcom's been very giving on the content front, and there's also significant competition with Phoenix Wright and Dante, both of whom are celebrating their respective 20th anniversaries for their series.
I frankly have never given Imran Khan nearly as much room as the catch all be all of insiders as a lot of people have (He definitely has more connections than your average online leaker man spouting stuff though) and even in his original statements on that matter he communicated uncertainty with the whole, " From what I know but honestly maybe all my info is bull**** who knows don't trust me" in his original post on ResetERA which he's generally not done in the past with his more confident claims regarding even Sora and such. I especially think the "Byleth was base game" idea to be particularly suspect and more nonsencial, but that's not really super relevant He then also turned around and said that he didn't know if MH was dead or not even by his own account.
I don't know anything about Monster Hunter. Are their any smaller, human-sized monsters that could potentially be a playable MH character instead of the hunters?
Are we even certain that we'll get an E3 reveal? Everybody was predicting Fighter 9 to be revealed in March, but they were actually shown off in February. For all we know, they could reveal Fighter 10 (or even both Fighter 10 and 11) in May, or really early June before E3 even starts. I'm kinda leaning toward Fighter 10 being revealed in May honestly. Don't know why, I just have a feeling about it.
I mean, Monster Hunter Stories had a baby Rathalos as one of the main characters...
I feel like Crash wouldn't be too complicated to make. He seems to me like a Mario or Banjo-level all-around, balanced character, with a more basic moveset in comparison to a lot of the DLC characters. That is assuming he's coming of course...
Unless it's gonna be a double reveal. In which case, I don't think it really matters which one is revealed first.
I think all shall be in the trailer
Not certain, but I think it's very likely. It would be a good business decision to have a direct on the dates of E3 since so many will be online watching at that time.
I think an appearance by Tawna and Coco would be pretty nice, especially with the 25th anniversary this year, what better way to celebrate not only his inclusion in Smash but to also the aforementioned 25th anniversary by having a few characters from the Crash franchise appearing in the trailer. Would be really nice acknowledgement and good use of a cameo.I don't know about the cameos from Tawna and Coco in the trailers, but these are some interesting concepts for potential Crash trailers. I myself am expecting his splash art to be "Crash Crashes The Party" and his trailer to involve Mario and Sonic in some way
The first one was obviously heavily inspired from the Pyra/Mythra trailer we got, but the idea is mostly centered around celebrating his 25 years in a way by having a few characters from his franchise being in the trailer, so if we ended up getting the first idea for the trailer, I would be content xDNot gonna lie, the first one would legit make me think we're getting a new Crash game....and then we get Pyra'd all over again
Second one, I'd MARK THE **** OUT
That would be one hell of an 8 man battle Royale
Eh, I was never too big on Death Battle to be honest. There are some people who treat it as 100% fact when talking about a character's canonical strength, when it's really not too reliable at all. These people also use non-canon sources to determine how strong a character is e.g. the Sonic comics and Sonic X. Also despite them, I am fully convinced Wario beats King Dedede.
On the flip side there's people who seem to think DB is a giant conspiracy. Allegedly, the showrunners pretty much let their favorites win and purposefully botch the research (not saying that you think this way).
From what I've seen, they usually only resort to non-canon feats when A) the main canon suggests that they can, in fact, do it (i.e. Mario casually throwing a dinosaur in one of the cartoons can be justified because of how he was able to pull on a giant Golden Chain Chomp in Sunshine), or B) using non-canon souces is the only way to determine certain stats (i.e. MegaMan.EXE's stupidly broken speed from that one manga).
I agree with you on this one. To me the most important aspect of a Death Battle episode is the animation, action, choreography and overall entertainment I get from it. I feel like people tend to focus too much on the results and reasoning, ignoring all the other aspects I mentioned earlier. Dante VS Bayonetta's results may be a little bit questionable but the fight itself is amazingly animated and has great action and choreography, which is what I personally consider to matter the most in an episode.
What's that?
I'll cover this one.
From what I understand that's most definately the plan. A digital event was apparently in the works before the live event was even canceled.

I'm just hoping we're getting a Nintendo Direct around then at this point...
There's actually some fans that believe that Cloud is more of the mascot of the Original Playstation than Crash Bandicoot, Not "One of the faces", "The Face" and while I don't give a **** about Final Fantasy, But I'm aware of it's importance, Cloud was never compared to or pit against Mario or even Sonic who are the faces of both Nintendo and Sega, That was Crash's job.
