The theory that the remaining character won’t have names that are different in other languages, because then they’d have to record different crowd cheers for each version. Because of COVID restrictions or something.

Doesn’t make much sense to me, seeing as how Pyra has different names in other languages. But y’know.
It's mostly being used to dog on Pokemon chances.

Well that makes sense. It’s the thing smash fans hate most of all, except for Fire Emblem of course.
Like, real talk, I'm obviously hecka biased but I think crowd chant theory is kind of a nothing burger. It substantiates itself on an imaginary pattern that cannot change because...Reasons, I guess.

I’m biased because most theories we come up with are bull**** held together by mere coincidences and 4Chan text leaks.

Except box theory.

I believe in box theory supremacy.

Yep, sure is.

That counts it out completely. Rip to eggplant man.
I was gonna say,

As mean as they might sound, Rayman is not an E3 worthy reveal imo.

He’s lost a lot of power and recongnition over time and I think there would be a lot of upset people tbh. As much as I want that Rabbids sequel, I would love to see Ubisoft get to collab with another project with Nintendo, rabbid Related or not.

Ehhhh I think Rayman could be an E3 level reveal. But it’d have to after a sort of Rayman revival. A new game, maybe some new merchandise. He’s out of the public consciousness atm.

Ok. That kind of makes sense. But the six were selected pre-pandemic and I don’t think they would have changed who they were doing because of that.

Speaking of E3 though,

this is very interesting:

Xbox Game Pass may indeed be coming to Switch. If it does and gets announced at E3, then I wouldn’t be surprised.

My Smash reveal at E3 bet is Crash, but if this game pass thing is really and these companies are really working together, I could easily see it be Master Chief.

Giving us 3 Microsoft Reps back to back E3s, and getting the big 3 from them.

It’s not based on COVID. The theory is that for the smaller budget they seemed to have this time around based on things that have been said, they choose to just not bring the foreign voice actors back and save money with characters they didn’t have to put extra voice work into.

Okay, that makes a little more sense. I still don’t think we should treat it as anything other than a theory, though.

Not accusing you of anything. But y’know how this fanbase can get.

I still have my conspiracy theory that the extra fighter in the Australian Store Directory is linked to game pass coming to switch. And that Chief will be added as a bonus fighter outside of the pass, and you can buy him normally but you get him for free if you have game pass on switch. That just... feels like something that would happen.

When has a smash fighter ever been given away with another piece of content?

Normally don't go back to old pfps but Megumin is cool and this one was perfect.

Also anyone else not getting as excited for games as much recently? Like I just looked at what games are coming out and what I'm getting:

June: Scarlet Nexus, THPS for Switch
July: NEO The World Ends With You, Skyward Sword HD
September: Tales of Arise

And then compared this to a few years when I already had like 25 games bought. Maybe I'm losing interest.

Game Pass will happen on Switch. Just the same chance I hope for Persona 4 Golden Switch Port.

I don’t think it means anything either and honestly I still don’t understand the full semantics of this theory lol.

Ok... but like... look at pass 1.

Characters that recquired multiple voice actors per region: :ultjoker::ultbyleth:
Characters that didn’t: :ultpiranha::ulthero::ultbanjokazooie::ult_terry:

Now look at pass 2
Characters that recruited multiple voice actors per region: :ultpyra:
Characters that didn’t: :ultminmin:ultsteve::ultsephiroth:

Like... in total, there have been THREE characters whose lines were dubbed overseas. I don’t think it’s a new thing at all. Or even a thing to begin with. Just a coincidence.

I'm actually pretty dang stoked for the future of games atm, lol. Miitiopia, Scarlet Nexus, Mario Golf, Skyward Sword HD, Tales of Arise, Splatoon 3, BotW2, eventually playing MH Rise and playing more Genshin...

help, my wallet :089:

EDIT: Oh gosh, that doesn't even cover Pokemon stuff...

A few years ago a smash fighter was never available as DLC. Plus there was plant which is a kind of similar thing.
Well yeah but that’s different. In both cases.

DLC just wasn’t a part of the smash series before Wii U/3DS because they chose not to. And Plant was a bonus for buying smash content.

I’m not saying Master Chief can’t happen or he can’t be a bonus character. But I don’t see why he’d be a bonus for content that isn’t Smash.

There's honestly only been like, 5 or 6 games I actually care about from these last two years to be honest.

I'm just more interested in my card games than I am in my gaming systems. :drshrug:

Eh, I’m pretty stoked for the new Pokémon games, Splatoon 3 and the possible new DK.
Like there still is stuff I'm looking forward to like BOTW2 and Splatoon 3 but it's at the point where they would feel more like "ticking off the box" than actually being excited.

Think the only two games I'm super excited for left that haven't been shown much are God of War Ragnarok and FFXVI.

In near future it is Tales of Arise and The World Ends With You sequel is so close to coming out. Cannot believe the latter got announced still.

I'll be excited for the future of games when I can have a realistic chance of getting a PS5 and scalpers getting scalped live on international television a few more exclusives get announced.

Can't see that happening IMO. Still believe something like a goodbye stage like Melee Final Destination or someone like Balloon Fighter would be nice to round out the DLC after instead of that.

This is a bit of a false equivalency.


This is basically akin to saying "just because it's never happened before doesn't mean it can't happen.", which is really not how to structure an argument.


As for Plant, that's a better point yes, but Plant was akin to an "Early adopter's" bonus like you see in other games.
