I mean you're right, but I also may wanna remind you that PAC-MAN was also revealed at the same E3 as Palutena and Miis. I understand your point, just wanted to throw that out there.
Wasn't Pac-Man exclusively revealed at a roundtable & most of the public found out by people texting & posting in social media about it? Very underwhelming way of announcing a character imo.

Also, if we're getting 2 reveals at e3, would Crash be revealed first or last?

Crash seems like a 'closer' for a double reveal

Not that I'm expecting one that is...

Those who are under the belief that a first party cant carry an E3 reveal

Palutena and Mii fighters were revealed on E3.

Im not saying they were hype, just that E3 2019 was the only time Third parties were revealed. (Unless you count E3 2013 which had Megaman)
Yea let's not forget about Pac-man. Ever since Snake was shown off for Brawl, we've always had a 3rd party reveal at E3 when Smash was present. The only exception to this was E3 2018 with Ridley, and he's probably one of the most highly requested Smash characters of all time. You could even argue that E3 2018 wasn't an exception due to Snake being brought back and the "Everyone is here" reveal.

If we do JUST get a first party reveal at E3 (and I do believe that is unlikely), they would probably be another character with massive requests. Again, the only one I could see is Waluigi, and he really doesn't seem too likely to me.

I was thinking someone from one of nintendo's big upcoming games, like from BotW.

I just don't think it matters much to Nintendo who they reveal at E3. They've done plenty of both 1st party and 3rd party reveals there in the past, so I just think they'll show whoever's next regardless of what people on the internet think of them, probably on the merits of "It's a new fighter coming to Smash, so it should be a big deal no matter what". At least that's what I think.

Again, I think it's just the people on the internet who over-measure what could be considered a "Hype reveal".

The only way the champions from BotW makes sense is if it's some sort of combo of all of them. They're in the same situation as the house leaders from Fire Emblem Three Houses, adding just one would be weird and anger fans of the others.

Eh...They still "Mostly" pale in comparison to 3rd parties only because all major 1st party characters are already represented in Smash with only some B/C-listers left and are "Somewhat" more easier to predict while 3rd Party characters can "Almost" literally be anyone.

Though I will say Ridley was cool to see and though not E3 related, I was really hyped for King K.Rool.

Last night I dreamt that Crash was the next DLC character. Needless to say that it kinda sucked when I woke up. Can E3 just arrive already so I can put all these doubts and fears to rest, please?
Seems like a lot of people are having dreams about characters getting revealed for Smash lately. I've even had a few over the last couple of months.

Okay so let's talk about Crash's Classic mode. How ya think his classic mode will end up looking like? Here's an idea from me

Stage 1 vs :ultbowser: (Dingodile)
Stage 2 vs :ultmegaman: (N. Gin)
Stage 3 vs :ultjoker: (Pinstripe)
Stage 4 w/:ultgreninja: (Coco) vs:ultincineroar: (Tiny the Tiger) and:ultkrool: (Papu Papu)
Stage 5 vs :ultwolf: (Cortex)
Stage 6 vs :ultmario::ultsonic:
Stage 7 - Master Hand/Crazy Hand


Just thrown off the top of my head here

I pray that there's no actual leaks for the next character (though it's very likely the next character might become more and more obvious like with all the Banjo stuff going on prior to e3 2019). I at least hope it's not blatantly obvious.
Personally I don't mind leaks or signs that say a character is coming. I won't really believe it until I see it just like with :ultbanjokazooie:.

Eeh, with how well kept under wraps have been the previous characters this pass, I don't really see the next character being somewhat leaked.

Yeah, it's just as we saw with Imran. The Voice Acting Thing wasn't for Smash. Hence why he said the next fighter wasn't leaked.

Last i checked, Lex doesn't voice crash bandicoot.

If Cortex is featured in a stage, they probably will reuse clips from other games. Half of the Assist Trophies are reused voicelines anyway.
Except he would know what the project is since he and Scott Whyte are working together.

It's not for Smash.

Couple of things:

#1: The VA stuff lately from Scott and Lex does NOT deconfirm Crash from joining Smash. Not sure why that's the idea here for a few of you, but this in no way deconfirms him. It just means that whatever those two are working on is more then likely not Smash, but it does NOT deconfirm his chances at all.

#2: There's still a tiny bit of hope for those that still think it could be Smash, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I tried making a challenger pack for Crash, but one area that I was unsure about was the music. I've beaten Crash 3, 4, and Wrath of Cortex, but I couldn't recall any of the songs, so I went with songs from the levels that would be referenced on the stage that I picked, along with what I could find on TV Tropes' awesome music page for the Crash series. (though as a result, most of it was from Crash 1-4 with one song from Wrath of Cortex)

If Crash gets into Smash, what are some songs that should be included?

I know this is gonna sound...well, unlikely, but the first thing to come up is Crash Banji-kyuusu, which was made as part of the Japanese marketing campaign back in the day and is just so damn catchy. Granted, it's near impossible since Sakurai would have to negotiate with Banana Ice for the rights to use it in Smash, but considering it's Smash we're talking about, I'm sure they could make an exception.

But as far as game-exclusive tracks go, I could see the theme that plays when riding Polar in Crash 2, as well as the theme of the riding levels in Crash 1. Another I think should be in is a Crash Medley that uses the combined themes of Crash 1, 2, 3 and 4. Neo Cortex's boss theme should also be a given.
