If there were to be 16 DLC characters, here's what I'd imagine they'd end up being.

Plant time: Pirahna Plant

Fighters Pass 1 (3rd Party Pass): Joker, Erdrick, Steve/Banjo, Ameterasu/Phenoix Wright, Ezio/Doomguy (+Rex Costume)

Echo Pass: Octoling (Inkling), Tom Nook (Villager) Shadow/Metal Sonic (Sonic), Gen 8 Pikaclone (Pikachu/Pichu), Mach Rider (Captian Falcon)

Fighters Pass 2 (First Party Pass): Rex, Spring-Man/Ribbon Girl, FE:3H character, Bandana Dee, Sword/Shield Pokemon/Waluigi (+Ezio/Doomguy costume).

I'm assuming they won't care if a character's an AT if they think they would profit off of them being in.

We do not even know what Sakurai thinks.
He is his own person, and his thoughts are his.
Yes, that's why she said she TRIED to think like Sakurai. As in, take the decisions he has made in the past, and try to assume what he would choose based on past evidence.

So something in the last few pages brought this to mind. Are there any of your wanted characters that could bring a reasonable Echo Fighter? The only one of mine I can think of is Siegfried for Nightmare (Soulcalibur)
Kamek could have Ashley as an echo fighter if he has a generic enough moveset. There's also Axl for X, Lily for Maxwell, and 10% Zygarde for Lycanroc

Did you hear there is an upcoming Terraria update?
Yup.

I've been playing on my laptop over the past few days keeping an eye on it, but I feel like I simultaneously can't play properly and it wears out my laptop mouse buttons. Can't wait for Terraria Switch to finally release and it's in the final stages of bug testing and fixing before it's submitted for release, but the console ports lag yeeeeeears behind the PC versions so it just turns into a split dilemma of whether I want to struggle to play properly or be teased with content I can't use.

Irrelevant to that, they're also going to explain on some level what the hell the lore of the games is next month. I hope it doesn't disappoint, it'd be sad if the curtain was pulled back after all these years and the official explanation for stuff felt less fascinating than what's in front of us by itself instead of moreso. But if it does turn out to be equal or better than what we can gather from context clues then WE EATIN'.

If we actually got Kratos. I'd be pretty darn hyped as ****. Unfortunately I'm doubtful he'll happen anyways but really hope I'm wrong. I even had this idea he could even work as a duo character with Atreus or at most be part of his Final Smash.

That said though if these were the characters I'd be pretty satisfied. Banjo, Crash, Spyro, Doom Slayer and Kratos would do it for me granted I'd be bummed no Elma, Medusa and Black Shadow though.

Tom Nook wouldn't match Villager's proportions and dimensions especially given:ultisabelle:who is a semi-clone only.
I'm pretty sure that's because Isabelle uses New Leaf proportions, but Villager uses the old games's proportions. Tom Nook could really echo either, I just chose Villager because I wanted an Echo Fighter of a fighter from every game

Geno as a Megaman Echo, Duster as a Bayonetta Echo and Isaac as a Young Link echo, Obviously.

I understand, believe me. But I was operating on a rule that no character that came with a stage would be from a series already in the game. Otherwise, those guys would be on the pass list fo sho.

Also, Atreus would absolutely be part of Kratos's moveset! Kratos only has like, two weapons in Dad of War. And yeah, I'm doubtful he would happen. But if we can get a MS character, they might as well ring Sony's doorbell while they're at it.

After fighter pack 2, I can't help but wonder what will happen to the character select? Will they give the DLC it's own menu ala 3DS? Will they simply add a new row? The answer to this question will be the definitive answer to whether or not we will get a second or third fighter pass IMO.
It’ll be a new row like with the Wii U version of Smash 4

why would Issac be a Young Link echo? If anyone, shouldn't it be Robin?
I thought Young Link's height would match up better with Isaac but you're right, In terms of how they play then Robin would be way more similar to Isaac than YLink.

Okay guys here's my DLC predictions. I chose them based on legacy to gaming, move set potential, corprate greed, recognizability and popularity. Here they are.

Fighter Pass 2) Bubsy the Bobcat
Fighter Pass 3) Angry Bird
Fighter Pass 4) Rowan (Obligatory Promotional FE Swordsmen)
Fighter Pass 5) Wurmple (Ballot Pick)

I consider all four of these characters locks.

Oh shoot, I completely forgot there was a Splatfest this week lol. It started earlier today and is a 48 hour one.

I'll probably take part tomorrow. Not really up for Splatoon tonight after spending the whole day on Smash. :drshrug:

I have Terraria on my PC, and it runs very well. It would be cool to see it on the Switch, though.

Also, that game has a lore? I thought Terraria was like Minecraft, in which they did not really have stories.

Stupid question time:

Why does Joker have codenames in his files (Jack, Jane, Doyle) when stages and the Phantom Thieves don't use them? If they were trying to hide Joker's identity with "jack" then they did a poor job with names leftover like "jack_mementoes."

Clearly we weren't supposed to see either because jack's files were scrubbed after the datamine went public.

Watch that the next DLC fighter revealed is Octoling but as a unique fighter/semi-clone at Splatfest.

Speculation would take quite the turn wouldn't it?

I really hope Nintendo learns from the Mementos and Brave incident, because if they keep on going with ignoring minor details, then the whole DLC roster may be leaked, and that would be terrible.

I just hope we get no codename afterwards, even if it is fun to guess. I want my characters to be a surprise, dang it!
