I want the new Duck Hunt character to be the gun. Just the gun. Not just is his neutral a gun- his whole moveset is a gun. Take that, non believers, asking dumbass questions like, "how the hell would that work" post Piranha Plant.

If that happens I’ll drink water.

Crossing my fingers for a tuna salad sandwich to be revealed at E3.

There is no option in this matter.

I am going to refuse anyway. Go ahead and punish me.

Nah fam, The triple layered chili cheese dog is more iconic. It's gotta get in!

 

[SneakyLink]

I have the song “Daydreamin” from the original Scooby Doo stuck in my head and I think I understand the song’s message behind all the ostriches it mentions.

I'm gonna have to hear this song right now.

 

[Pokelego999]

I thought the people here did not like Twitter, to the point of celebrating when it went down some time ago?

I have been discovered.

I must flee!

Is this a stealth leak for Hydrobot?

Yooooooooo dude if they reveal ham sandwich that'd be crazy!

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You won’t because there’s nothing really backing these characters aside from gut feelings and echo chambers.


And the fact that I don’t have a dog

Well... Crash just got a new game this year, Activision has realy been trying to push him, he was surprisingly popular in Japan for a western character, and there was that Activision gameplan that was leaked if you are willing to take more dubious evidence.

I will say that my Lloyd/Yuri thing is completely a gut feeling though.

That's right, Pokelego999. Run! RUN!

I’ll just give the scene for context song and visual included:

 

[TheCJBrine]

We’re getting Googee, Weegee’s gooey clone born from Weegee staring at a pile of goo through a mirror.

After him? Banjo again, but with a sword.

Banjo already has a sword tho:

 

[CannonStreak]

Forget all this character guessing!

We all know that next is Bubsy, as he appears and sounds in Bubsy 3D and Gex as he originally appeared as a sprite character.

 

[Deleted member]

- It's a-me, a keyblade master!

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Is it sad that I'm looking at train stations?

Also we getting Crash and someone else...........................................................................what I believe anyways.

 

[Noipoi]

Well... Crash just got a new game this year,

Too late for it too affect his possible inclusion.

Activision has realy been trying to push him, he was surprisingly popular in Japan for a western character,

these are both true, but not enough to warrant a spot in smash.

and there was that Activision gameplan that was leaked if you are willing to take more dubious evidence.

That was a list of things they wanted to happen, not a calendar of upcoming events.

I’m not saying I don’t want Crash, I’d absolutely love to see him in smash. But I’m gonna need some real evidence before I outright believe he’s coming, and Reddit shouting about the same pool of five characters isn’t enough. As it stands I just don’t think it’s happening. But I’d love to be proven wrong.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Banjo already has a sword tho:

Yes, but this time, he’ll play sort of like a mix of Mars and Sword Gohan, and Kazooie also has a sword.

 

[SneakyLink]

If I had to take a guess as to who is next, I’m feeling confident one of the last two could be Reimu from Touhou Project.

The other is a wildcard.

Is it sad that I'm looking at train stations?

Train Stations always have some sort of cool art piece so I think it’s neat.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

This is the only one I have a rebuttable to. And it's just to point out the relationship to Byleth and his title's release.

Not to mention, Crash 4's switch port happened only recently.

 

[CannonStreak]

If they were to have dialogue, I would love to see Banjo and Kazooie comment on having swords! LOL

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I think one of them of Chief. Like I really do. Something big is happening between Nintendo and Microsoft and I’m betting it’s more than just a port or two on Switch. I’m thinking it could be like Game Pass itself and what better way to seal that deal than to put the headliner of the game pass in Smash.

That’s different though. He’s a Nintendo character, it wouldn’t be hard to cram him in, even before his game is out.

Third parties require much more discussion. And Activision is notoriously hard to work with.

And, by the time Crash would have been chosen for FP2, I believe it would have been around late 2019.

What if Chief is the bonus fighter revealed by that website leak and you only get him if you buy Xbox Game Pass on Switch.

Chief would be badass.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo tried to work with Activision and ultimately called it quits.

 

[cashregister9]

I have no expectations anymore when It come to smash, I just want Estelle Bright from The Legend Of Heroes: Trails In The Sky. Playable via steam

The Trilogy will be complete.

2019: Banjo & Kazooie
2020: Steve
2021: Master Chief

First time I've heard about it.

God this reminds me so much of the Banjo discussions before his reveal. You'd think we'd have learned some sort of lesson from that. Something about how we don't actually know anything about how these companies work and can't really make any comments on what will or won't happen because we're missing critical information not available to the public.

Just pointing out that Bowser and Donkey Kong were in Skylanders.....

Surprised? Remember when Activision wanted to make a Crash Bandicoot cartoon on Amazon? It ended up getting cancelled, for Activision wanted more or full creative control over it, something like that.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

As far as my predictions are given the current talk.

Double reveal in June.

CP10: Swordfighter character (Adol Christin, Chosen Undead, Dovahkiin, Euden, Nightmare, Yuri Lowell, etc.)
CP11: Master Chief

Swordfighter character releases June.

Master Chief releases September-October.

Hey like I said, I don’t think it’s impossible. I just think there’s more at play here than most people realize, several factors that could impede Crash’s inclusion, and it’s not a sure thing like the current fandom would have you believe. As much as I’d like it to be.

Hero, Banjo, and Terry we could all see coming. Thanks to a variety of circumstances. Those circumstances haven’t repeated, and we’ve been in the dark since late 2019. None of us know what’s coming next, and there are no real hints for us to turn to.
