Ness and Lucas don’t have PK Starstorm.
I mean, at least with those two having PK Starstorm, there is actually an explanation given to how they know how to use it. In the description of the PK Starstorm trophies Brawl, it suggests that Poo taught Ness PK Starstorm before the events of that game, and Kumatora did the same for Lucas. Heck, in Ultimate, now Poo and Kumatora even appear when Ness and Lucas use their final smash respectively.

To be fair third party characters tend to be significantly more loyal to their games than most characters.

Also I should learn how to use RAR more, does Belmont Fair/Bair work like the FE characters? Fair is slower on startup but ends faster and the opposite is true for Bair?

True, true.

aww, would you look at that

Among other things I just don't buy only people who purchased Joker getting a free echo fighter: that'd make one of the purchasable fighters be objectively more value for money than the others. Yeah, not all five fighters are guaranteed the same amount of content - see Cloud's paltry music selection in Smash 4. But having one of the fighter packs be 2 for the price of one is a waaaayy better deal than the others

atlus giving extra things away for free is the most unrealistic part of it all

True, but Joker has already a made-up mechanic and three spells Arsene can't naturally learn. Agidyne wouldn't be a big stretch.

If this leak was true, I would wonder why Baboom was chosen to have the rhythm play style over Chorus Kids. Interesting conflict with the online bit though, that may have took a large part of Chorus Kids' exclusion long ago. Still, I find this highly unlikely because of the last choice.

Wait a minute, who even is Baboom anyway?
It's a hypothetical final evolution for Grookey, that's supposed to be some sort of musician, probably using drums of some kind, due to Grookey's excessive use of it's stick

That being said though, yeah... I don't buy it. Seems a little too obvious. We usually don't know where the starters' final eveloutions will go until the very last minute

Yeah, as you've all said, I don't know why they'd pick him of all characters to be the one with a rhythm based moveset, over someone from for instance, the Rhythm Heaven series.

Because we obviously need an 11th Pokemon on the roster.

Seriously though, I'm OK w/ another Pokemon (since almost all of them are completely unique), but I'd still like to see more 1st party franchises get represented.

also pokemon just ****ing sells, whether base game or DLC - there's a probable reason incineroar was saved for last despite being seen as 'anti-hype'.

like i think it's easy to forget how popular pokemon is outside of the central smash bubble, and little timmy who's never played persona or dragon quest or resident evil or that bear game from 20 years ago needs a character he recognizes at some point

now to be fair

I still personally think people are looking a little too much into it.

I mentioned this earlier in an edit of my previous post, so I'm not if you saw it, but we usually don't find out where the final evolutions are going until the very last second

Like weren't people initally theorizing that the gen 7 starters were all gonna have a circus theme?

Not sure how a heel wrestler and an archer fit into that

Mhm. We could use that logic to say Grookey could be a caveman because he’s beating a stick against a rock.

Oh trust me, I know. I was a massive Pokemon fanboy when I was younger. And when I say massive, I mean massive.

It would not surprise me if they added a Gen 8 Pokemon as DLC b/c it'll still sell like hotcakes.

Honestly a Gen 8 Pokemon and Edelgard are probably the 2 most likely 1st party candidates at this point. And I could see either (or both) happening.

Strongman and impalement art?
True, but that wasn't the direction people were initially thinking

Rowlet was theorized to be a magician or ringleader, given his little bowtie
Litten was supposedly gonna be the tiger that jumps through the fiery hoops.
And Popplio would be the standard seal you'd normally find in circuses or even a clown

The real reason that leak is fake is because it'd be a legitimately excellent character set.


Like god damn I'd be thrilled.

i will say it'd be a pretty damn good spread of first parties (fire emblem, pokemon) and third parties with solid nintendo history (DQ, ace attorney)

persona 5 (+ royal) would remain the oddball pick, but we've had oddballs in a sea of relatively sensible picks before (snake, cloud, etc.). i also guess he makes sense from the perspective that if any of these picks were revealed in joker's place at TGA, i can't imagine fighter's pass sales would be anything close as good as they apparently are. start off weird and then get less weird once people have bought in.

Major update on the Thanibomb Three Houses leak.

Today's Twitter update basically confirms the leak is true...and it's actually because of a question I asked lol. I asked if Thanibomb knew anything about Ferdinand, a character we knew literally nothing about beyond his name. Thanibomb said he had an intense one-sided rivalry with Edelgard.

His Twitter bio got released today. Lo and behold, he's hyper-competitive and seeks to be stronger than Edelgard.

Get hyped, folks.
