By mature he means old farts like us.Banjo appeals to a mature audience? :V
people: the square rep is erdrickThe irony would be no Square rep.
The Square thread's entire existence; made pointless.
Again, Banjo appeals to a mature audience?By mature he means old farts like us.
not that it likely means much, but i did find sakurai's wording at the fighter's pass announcement interesting: "we're not ready to reveal its contents at its time"--as if the point for revealing the bulk of its content could hypothetically be one single point in timeYeah, but at the same time... "everyone is here" announced every single character.
If there's one thing that the google """leak""" did right, it's that it bought attention to a series that slipped our minds. I never thought about Dark Souls being a potential newcomer until now. And now I have another likely character that I want in the game. I'm really excited for E3 lolI do think it's funny that this Google Rumor leaves Erdrick out entirely. If Erdrick isn't in I'll be a little disappointed since I was looking forward to their potential but I'll be 100% OK with them not being in. Artorias is a cool *** choice, and I'll gladly take a Souls characgwr in Smash.
I'm still pretty confident in Erdrick though. We'll see by E3 I'm sure.
Huh. So this isn't the first time Artorias has been "leaked"?I think the Google thing is plausible based on stuff people have said, but I'm gonna be cautious about it. It could just be some troll spending their money just to tick people off - why they would wait and hope someone finds their fake ads instead of making a thread on 4chan is beyond me, though, but weird people do weird things. They even put in extra effort to make sure their ads' descriptions have randomized elements, more than the Joker ad.
There was this Artorias "leak" that was found; it's from February:

I've already posted a plan before about how characters would be released.I really just wonder how the next 8 months are going to play out in terms of releases.
8 months for 4 characters seems like a lot, but barring clumped releases, it's not, and I'd bet a decent amount on "Brave" getting released next month.
Trust me, I 'want' this to happen.also let's not forget when capcom revealed every character in SFV's season pass 3 the day the pass went up for purchase and nearly a full year before the last characters were avaliable

revealing the contents of passes early is becoming an increasingly common practice in the fighting game industry. i imagine people who haven't bought the fighter's pass yet are holding off in case they don't like the lineup anyway, so clarity usually drives sales rather than deterring them.
I think he'll stagger them, 2 for E3 and 2 before Christmas.Trust me, I 'want' this to happen.
But it doesn't seem like something Sakurai would do. The fact we still get staggered releases makes it seems like he loves dragging this out.
That and most of them fit the criteria of "Unexpected" for lack of a better word.Also, it's noteworthy that character picks are more sensible than your average "wish list with wacky characters thrown in" leak.
All of them appeal to a mature audience and they aren't that big despite coming from well-received games, like Joker.
Still need more evidence, but it's something to keep in mind.
Hell, there's a list of characters tested in a Google Doc linked in the description of the PapaGenos video and it seems to be quite the long list (I haven't read it because it slowed my computer to a crawl, but the page count of around 1400-1500 suggests a pretty massive amount of characters tested)This weird rumor that people put together by testing what characters have ads for the fighter pass on Europe’s google search engine. The only characters that get the ad to pop up is banjo, joker, atrovious from dark souls, doom marine and ryu from Ninja Gaiden.
Since they trigger the ad and no one else people think it might mean they are in.
Yep, it's definitely one of the more "WTF" theories.Yeah. It really is the oddest rumor or leak I've ever seen.
Box Theory and even Blog Theory and Sound Theory had evidence backing them. Chair Theory was a crack theory from the start. But Google Theory is just...odd.
2 at E3 seems logical, and I think most people are expecting it since the Japanese post saying that FP2 and 3 were being worked on.I think he'll stagger them, 2 for E3 and 2 before Christmas.
i agree that sakurai is the final arbiter on marketing decisions, but at the same time, this is a namco fighting game, just like tekken. the move towards a season pass already suggests they're moving closer to 'standard' fighting game protocol, and if namco told sakurai from experience of tekken's second season pass that clarity of content generates better sales, he'd probably defer to said experience.Trust me, I 'want' this to happen.
But it doesn't seem like something Sakurai would do. The fact we still get staggered releases makes it seems like he loves dragging this out.
When you think about it, a line up of unexpected character is kinda geniusYou're not wrong.
But like this batch of DLC, it'd be so out of left field that it'd blindside us.

-We have a 4chan post that says Artorias in the 2nd DLC.
-The next character has the codename "Brave".
-Pre-corrupted Artorias was known in legend for his bravery.

Artorias is brave because he sacrified himself to protect his doggo friend and traversed the abyss. Definitely a brave knight.the area before his fight is also littered with the 'soul of a brave warrior' item
Banjo is a big maybe, because it's gonna be either him or Steve. And if I'm a betting man then I'm going with Steve.So that would mean..... Artorias at E3 and 'maybe' Banjo?
That flies in the face of this 'leak' though, no?Banjo is a big maybe, because it's gonna be either him or Steve. And if I'm a betting man then I'm going with Steve.
After all the theories that have come up over the months over "Brave", you can't honestly say this is any worse than the rest. :VOh come now, this is Mr. Fantastic levels of stretching.
The google leak?That flies in the face of this 'leak' though, no?
I mean, the google theory is why we've been discussing Artorias for the last few hours.The google leak?
lol that thing is fake as hell
But it doesn't mean none of the characters in it won't get in.
Maybe intern kun just messed up again if real. Idk if it’s real I feel like it will be like the grinch leak, we will never truly know how it came to be lolI think the big question is why the hell would ALL FOUR be up now?
Unless they're just planning to drop a "This is our DLC roadmap plan" like a lot of companies do at E3, but that doesn't seem very Sakurai-like to not try to build up suspense for the next character.
You could say... I took it on the chin.2 cannon shots can be heard in the distance.

District 10
Rottytops
District 3
I mean.I do believe that there will be at least one female 3rd party in the DLC. I don't think Bayonetta will be the only female for 2 games straight.
