Here's all I'll be predicting for now.

I'll be genuinely flabbergasted if Bandana Dee doesn't make it into the next Smash.

He's one of the most popular characters we're missing and was a constant favorite in Ultimate speculation. With all the exposure he has and all the support he gets, he's practically a lock.

With that said, in terms of Kirby reps, Fecto Elfilis would be infinitely cooler.
I feel like Bandana Dee could be easily created and integrated into a new game, and it could make a good opportunity for a spin-off game to accompany his new appearance on a possible next Smash game.

The only thing going against Bandana Dee is that he wasn't created by Sakurai himself. Up to Kirby Air Ride, Sakurai made: Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede (he voices in Smash), Dyna Blade (potential boss for next game), and Marx (the scariest cute boss character in Ultimate).

Edit: He only made one appearance in Kirby Super Star on the SNES in Megaton Punch. Super Star Ultra for the DS wasn't done by Sakurai.

Honestly I agree.

He’s one of my most wanted and it’s baffling he’s not in yet. People go “he’s just a general enemy” but they can’t even use that any more when a piranha plant is playable.

On top of being wrong anyway. Only thing I think might be stopping it, is Sakurai not caring about modern Kirby for playable reps.

I don’t know if that’s really a thing though, so o hope it happens.

Also read that smash rumor…

Toon Zelda????

What is this the forbidden 7 lmfao.

Also no way we get two Xenoblade reps and neither are Elma.

Gen 10 likely gets picked over Gen 9 as well, but armorouge and ceruledge as a duo fighter would be sweet.

Low key feel like Waluigi is pretty likely though.

For the "seven rumor" characters.

Toon Zelda: yeah....unlikely since Toon Link series hasn't have a new game other than remasters.
Noah and Mio: Either one could make it, but unlikely both unless DLC later on.
Paper Mario as DLC: that is a REACH for extra content not planned yet.
Sol Badguy: he is possible, but Guilty Gear is a series I don't know.
Armorouge & Ceruledge: possible Pokemon Gen 10 rep.
Waluigi: could be possible after 25 years of being the butt end of every Smash Bros game since Brawl.

NEW PRAGMAGIK REGION
God these starters are INCREDIBLE? I'd put them on the same level as the Kalos starters???
I want a real Australia region so baaaad. And an African region (any part of Africa, I want them all equally).

Anything other than another friggin white European country. I don’t care about Poké-Italy or Poké-Greece or Poké-Germany

awkwardly, ashamedly pushes my Purore region behind the sofa

While we're at it I'd love to see a Brazil region too

In general if you're looking for non-European regions, PragMagik is your friend. He's completed regions for the central USA and India, too.

Nah imma have to fight you on Poké-Greece. There’s a lot of cool stuff they could do with the Greek gods.

Can we get mods to create a smash 6 speculation thread going? The garbage that belongs there is being flood into here.

Just began reading Terror Lake by Edward J McLadden III and the prologue gives me Jaws vibes!

If the cover already wasn't enough, the beginning definitely gave me those feels from that film!

Which btw it'll be Jaws' 50th anniversary this year, gonna watch it in its honor sometime this year.

While looking up animals to be turned into route 1 Pokemon for Purore, I discovered that Italy is home to the SCARLET DRAGONFLY
1737862849014.png

Perfect bug/dragon type material I'd say!

Day 18: Mega Scizor

Friendly reminder that canonically this Pokemon's body is constantly overheating and will melt if it stays in this form too long.

Fun!
Bug/Steel is a combo I've always really liked. Reminder: ya gurl likes Genesect a lot.

Scizor is a Pokemon I would love to use, but yet again, I lack the capacity to trade...

What did Gamefreak mean by making most Mega Evos extremely painful or detrimental to the Pokemon? :224:

It's funny.

Gen 6? **** yeah they're cool!

Gen7: Oh btw the Pokemon is in agony and you should feel bad for liking this form



They thought they could guilt us into not liking Megas for when they removed them in Gen 8, but they were wrong. :nifty:

Maybe they wanted to treat Mega Evolution a bit more realistically since it wasn’t the hot new gimmick anymore. It pushes a Pokemon to its absolute limit, flooding them with energy and twisting their bodies into forms that didn’t evolve naturally, but are optimized for battle. A process like that would probably be painful.

Doesn’t make it any less morbid, or funny :nifty:

I just listened to Dont Think Twice

Its a bad day for rain.
I want you for a lifetime, so if you’re gonna think twice
Baby, I don’t wanna know
Baby, I don’t wanna know
Everything is just fine, but if you’re gonna think twice

Could even say that they've become



Ultimate lifeforms.

Welp I went to the movie night. It went okay I guess.

Not too long in it started to rain and everything was moved inside and I got really overstimulated, so I ended up going home early. But I did talk to a couple people while I was there so... that's progress I guess.

Ya know it'd be kinda cool if in ZA they broke the rules and we got a Mega Scyther to. I always though it was kind of cool how Scizor was more of a sidegrade then just an upgrade.

I regret to inform you all that my Sonic has led me to be into Sonic shipping once again.

No I will not be elaborating
Welcome to the dark side. As your local Zor x Zeena advocate, it feels good to not be the only Sonic shipping enthusiast here again.

Now all rise for what I consider the Anthem of All Sonic Shipping!

That’d actually be really cool. They could be an Electric/Fire/Water type trio, with other secondary types to balance things out.
This sounds cool but I'd switch Hades to Ground and/or Ghost/Dark instead of Fire. He's an underground god, flames are Hephaestus's thing.
