His hair is the worst and y'all know it
Luminary's cool, though. He just needs a shower.
Don't know what's to hate about the Luminary given I haven't played DQ 11 yet. If it comes to Smash Bros, though, I think Erdrick would be the cooler representative given his legacy and all.
helloiamhere
shared on the latest find, here's data that was found about joker's stage:Digging through LVD files in Ultimate, and I found "Jack_Menentoes_" lying around amongst the strings. The format of this string matches stage name strings in ui_stage_db ("[Series]_[Stage]"), and Joker's internal name is "jack". Mementos stage confirmed? pic.twitter.com/eCh3PxU2bR

It's interesting, but it feels like every leak that had Joker and Erdrick in it always guessed Mementos because it was the logical course of action. It doesn't shoot down the first 5chan leak, though, which is fine by me.Just to copy what

'Mementos' was the stage that the 5ch leak said Joker would have. So this can bode well for what was said about Erdrick.
I dont find it's that much of a clear-cut choice. There's plenty of more memorable and cool places.
I don't recall any other leaks guessing Joker's stage would be Mementos. If so, did they come before or after the 5chan leak?
Afterwards, admittedly. The one I recall immediately was that one 4chan leak that guessed 2.0.0 days before it was announced. It said Joker would have Mementos (and it also said we'd be getting a Yoshi Crafted World stage by now but that clearly hasn't happened). Good point though, I don't remember much leaks before 5chan that said Mementos.
Two things:
If Crafted World is announced as a stage for Update 3.0.0, then I can believe that leak a little more. Evidently, they're saving their announcements for April. I don't doubt we're getting more stages beyond the fighter passes.
Erdrick would come across more as a sincere retro pick, I think, whereas the Luminary would look much more like a cynical marketing move. There's enough Erdrick-related in DQXI and other recent games for him to be a relevant choice while still demonstrating that the franchise isn't some new thing that's being shoved in your face.
My brother said that too(he loves Persona as much as I love DQ), but said that he understood why they would choose it. He said that almost all Persona games have a dungeon wheres the Reaper appears, with it's own desing and rules every game, and in P5 os Mementos. So it would be the most franchise-wise iconic place in the game that could be a stage, as the Velvet Room didn't provide that much of a creative liberty for the stage.
Isn't Momentos a location that represents the Persona series as a whole though?
I'm not sure why you're trying to find ways for it to somehow fit well. There are much more iconic aspects to persona than the reaper, it's more like a secret boss. Second you can only fight the reaper in persona 4 on the second playthrough, and it's not about a 'place'. And last, you have to stay still in persona 5 for a couple minutes for it to come. and I don't think that can translate into smash. They might choose mementos because it's a large area in persona 5. but it's not really 'iconic' in any way.
How?
That would be the Velvet Room.
Could depend on the person. Mementos is a very large dungeon that's not really detailed like the other ones. It could be seen as boring in that you might see the same stuff over and over.
Windy Hill does double duty as redundant with Sonic's other stage in theme, and being added to promote a game that didn't have any staying power. The layout and everything is alright, but there's so much missed potential there. We coulda had Casino Night or Eggmanland or Space Colony ARK or Sweet Mountain or anything else.
So basically, we could say verge is at fault for what he said before, and there's a lot of key sources and even other sources saying it's Erdrick.So if you fine chaps follow Vergeben still, you'll probably know that ZenythVidya posted a reddit private message three days ago from Vergeben. Here's the full post.
If you're too lazy, here's the image.
Star Fox Grand Prix is still an anomoly over how it started, but two things of note.
1) A new 2D Eshop Zelda game may be happening and that's what screwed with Vergeben's prediction. Another case of him having good info but crap guesses on what date they'll be shown.
2) He specifies two of his three good sources are saying Erdrick is without a doubt in plus many other smaller sources. He flat out admits he backs Erdrick now because of this + factors like Tansut.
Vergeben confirmed he sent this and will have more to say later.
Cool stuff so far. Seems they're trying to work out what's going on behind the scenes with the info they have.
Honestly with more and more info coming out about Erdrick plus the Mementos datamine backing the 5ch leak I'd be incredibly surprised at this point if it was all an elaborate ruse, lol.I'm going to transfer over yet another post with important info, because it's pretty good for erdrick

Agree with you. Its hopeful I think about Erdrick's chances, but with the whole SF:GP fiasco one can never be so sure.
Hopeful yeah. It's hard for me to believe anything, but it's looking good
I'm pretty relieved about this message because it clarifies that Vergeben is still supporting Erdrick after the February direct, which is what I was most nervous about after it. (The PM was sent on 2/18/2019; direct was on 2/13/2019.) Not only that, but it expands upon why he's backing Erdrick, and it's looking good. When virtually almost all of your sources are saying it's Erdrick, what else can we say? I'm at like 90% and any more specific details like this help bumps his chances by one integer.I'm going to transfer over yet another post with important info, because it's pretty good for erdrick

I hope this will eventually result in Jessica coming, complete with a (censored) bunny outfit.
Actually I read something about what looks like that SF:GP was confirmed as a long term leak bait, so it can confirm that he indeed have insiders.
What I wanna know is how did that leak even gain traction to begin with and why? What's even to hide by leaking a SF:GP game? Maybe to snuff out leakers since leaking goes against employment obligations, but still. That's a long term effort to do so.
I think the big thing that divides this is that it's easy to leak bait something completely fake then a thing that is really been worked.
Yeah I think the only one worth any credence is the one that just claimed Joker and Erdrick.
And that was the only thing we had going?
Who says he can't really do something original with another sword wielder? That's more so Fire Emblem's problem specifically anyway.
He didn't say that actually, Sakurai mentioned that it was difficult to make the Swordsmen to stand out (he also said the same of the brawlers with their punches and kicks).
