An interesting argument, but ultimately one still full of "could bes" and "maybes". And yet, what Erdrick has in his corner is physical evidence. The post from someone involved in Smash Ultimate's development with a picture of Kirby posed next to a shield bearing Erdrick's name. Vergeben, who, while I have been vocal about my distaste for in the past, has a relatively clean track record right now predicting his inclusion. The fact that the stats for Brave signify someone of similar build and skillset to Erdrick.

Your argument, while well thought-out, can't stand on its own if all you have to back it up is "this could be what happens instead" or "maybe the leakers are wrong".

this concludes my miles edgeworth roleplay thank you all for watching remember to smash that like button and subscribe for more hot edgeworth action

Well, what if they are trying to keep it a surprise? While Erdrick and "brave" are related, it really could be something else. We should never expect DLC. That developer could have posted that Erdrick shield to troll everyone. We do not know.

I feel like it will not be Erdrick. I feel it.

I WILL BE CORRECT! I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE MORE EVIDENCE, MY CHALLENGER!

We never saw it coming expected Joker. Despite the datamine, "Brave" is quite vague. A lot of games have been released on the Switch, so Dragon Quest coming on the Switch is a "meh" example. Minecraft is on the Switch, Deltarune is on the Switch, etc. "Brave" could be many things. "Brave" could be a reference to a final smash, or perhaps even a quality that the character has. Reggie said it himself. DLC is not going to be predictable. These leakers will not ruin our fun. The Grinch Leak has been destroyed, let's hope "Brave" gets destroyed.

OBJECTION!

I really, really hope that you're correct but I don't believe what you're saying.

What you're saying comes with the assumption that the "Brave" Codename was put in there to trick leakers and dataminers but that would be a false conclusion based upon the fact that they later removed it from the code, What reason would they have to remove something that was meant to trick Leakers? They'd only remove something if we weren't meant to see that.

Of course that doesn't mean that "Brave" is Erdrick but it's easier and less risky to assume that Brave refers to Erdrick based upon the fact that DQ has heavy ties to the term "Brave". It could be misleading but that's rather unlikely or we could be misinterpreting it but again it's less risky to assume that it's Erdrick.

The possibility of us misinterpreting "Brave" is there but the chances of Brave being Erdrick is far, far likelier. Even if Erdrick isn't brave he would likely still be in the pass one way or another.

I would love to sit here and pretend like Geno or some other Square Character will be the Square rep and that Erdrick/Brave is leakbait but it's not, Square cares the most about Erdrick putting him over the likes of even Sora so why would they care about any other character, Especially one they want to push to the West? They wouldn't. It's illogical to expect that the Square rep is someone other than Erdrick and it's only slightly less illogical to expect Brave to be someone else.

Nintendo only uses Leakbait in extreme scenarios like Star Fox Grand Prix but likely isn't one of those times. Erdrick will likely be the Square rep and Brave.

*Sigh* I can't believe I'm defending my least preferable scenario

“Brave” is Sandbag. You’d have to be brave to let people strike you across a stadium full force with a baseball bat not to mention all the brutal beat downs he has to endure in the online waiting rooms in Brawl, Sm4sh and as a summoned item.

We have David Bowie. The way of Bowie is the way of fabulousness, and the way of fabulousness is paved with rainbows, which only manifest in the light. With Bowie on my side, you've already lost. But fear me, love me, do as I say, and I may yet forgive you.

Brave can be something else. Heavy ties does not mean a guarantee.

Erdrick isn't my preferred scenario either (mostly because I've never played Dragon Quest) but we can't run from what the evidence tells us is the truth.

I want to be a hero. I do not have to be the main character, but make me a hero who is very smart.
That is my recommendations, but you can choose who I am. :p

Funny how you should think Bowie, the villainous Goblin King, is yours. He was on our side ALL ALONG. We have many agents doing our bidding. Sorry, Bowie is ours.

The Ace Attorney GIFs getting brought out is one of the few good things about speculation.

I don't really have a hat in the race of Erdrick/Not Erdrick, but if I had to pick a side, I'd be pro Erdrick.

Despite never playing a DQ game except 8, and only a couple of hours to it, the series is a LOT like Shin Megami in the sense of, while it never exploded in the west like Final Fantasy did, it was still very popular in the east and was basically there from the beginning.


Erdrick wasn't a character I had on my radar at all until the Brave datamine, but hey, I wouldn't mind it.



It almost feels like it's meant to be, having Joker in to represent "Shin Megami(loosely)", and Erdrick to represent Dragon Quest, 2 of the Famicon's oldest RPG series alongside Final Fantasy.

Of course it does not confirm anything nor does it deny anything but we can take an educated guess on good faith that the most likely scenario is that it's implying Erdrick or at least evidence for the Character. I think that Erdrick is gonna get in one way or another brave is just a good time to do that.

I tried to make a convincing argument for Erdrick being leakbait and looking back on it not even I think that's true anymore, There is too much evidence pointing towards him for him to not make it at this point.
