OH GOD OH **** KIRBY LOOK OUT HES GONNA EAT YOU

OH NO HE HAS AIRPODS ON IS SLEEPING HE CANT HEAR US
Eh, I'm pretty sure the puffball will be fine, eaten or not. This is Kirby we're talking about after all...

I said Reimu, not Yos- okay, this is pretty cute.
Think of it as an example of a Kirby x [other Smash character] pic in the only way I know how :yoshi:

hey Indie rep/"rep" itself isn't a thing.

Sakurai/Nintendo do whatever they want.

We can get Reimu, Shantae, Shovel Knight, and Steve (if he still counts as indie) all in one.

edit: also Sans & Papyrus because we need them.

Steve most certainly ain't Indie after Microsoft bought Minecraft I'd wager.

If the 7th is the day, we'll be getting an announcement tomorrow.

If it's not announced, i'll never trust in Reggie gifs again.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who purchased the Pass already and as such won't complain about who the remaining challengers are because I made an investment trusting Sakurai & his team to deliver me quality content as they have done so for years.
Nope, I purchased it and won't complain. Sakurai himself even said in the Direct to only purchase it if you were confident you were going to buy/want all the characters anyways, which is a pretty remarkable statement given that it's cautioning people against buying it, when most companies/developers would rather just sell as much as they can.

The only DLC character for Smash 4 that I didn't buy was Corrin, because who cares. No one in my family played Ryu, Cloud, or Bayonetta, though, because no one in my family is a fan of those games, but I still bought them because they were such landmark characters to make it into Smash that it was cool just to have them there. Plus their stages were cool, too.

My attitude is the same with Ultimate. I'd buy Joker anyways because that's just a cool character to have in the game, even though I've never played Persona 5 (yet). As long as the characters are significant and make a lot of people happy, I'm fine with whoever they add. My criticism of Steve as a possibility is because there's actual evidence for him, and I don't think he's well-rounded enough (heh) of a character to work. But if he is added somehow, I wouldn't really complain, because I know it'd be cool for a lot of people, and it'd be a big deal. That's all I care about.

Well, maybe not for this Erdrick fellow, if the consensus about his probability is to be believed. I've barely laid eyes on a Dragon Quest game, so I have no care for him or his series at all. I know Japan is wild about it, but in the West it's a niche series. Which is why I'm skeptical about its chances. Sakurai knows more than anyone how important it is to recognize your audience with characters, and I doubt he'd go with a character whose appeal is primarily Japanese for DLC. In the base game, bundled with Ridley and K. Rool and such, sure. But as a standalone purchase? That's a different marketing situation altogether, and with the public limitation of 5 characters, those 5 have to be as major and broadly appealing as possible.

Thanks.

I just liked the aesthetics, tbh.
Does this count?

You all are horny. I never heard of this bizarre game until now.
Touhou isn't really risque/lewd/perverted at all though.

Well, canon-wise at least.

Joker gameplay is definitely happening.

The question will be if they show off Brave.
I think they will. But he will not be close to release yet. Like how they showed off Bayo and Cloud a couple months before they were ready. Joker will probably get released either this month or next.

Ya see, I'm hesitant to say Joker 'this' month when we just got the 2.0 update a few days ago. You'd think they'd have saved that.


I feel like Brave is closer to being done than we think, the fact that we know Brave is being worked on alongside Joker thanks to the datamining makes me question if they won't reveal Brave and then have Joker and Brave release the same day.

I bet we're not even getting a microsoft character.
this hurts my soul...

but it might be true...


-I feel like I should bring up this IndieGamerChick person on twitter who talked about Banjo-Kazooie and implied they'd be Smash DLC as well as on an N64 Classic, but her tweets were deleted. idk about her credibility, but apparently she's leaked some stuff before and people listen to her.

If it doesn't come this month, then we won't have had a general Direct since SEPTEMBER.

It almost has to at this point.
So wait if we do get a Direct this month, will the last general Direct magically move up to November?

Sorry, my brain does not let me let go of meaningless semantics

Rate this roster, fools!

Quality - 9/10
These are solid, iconic characters. Smash's status as a crossover is elevated by them, I'd say.
Personal taste - 2/10
Personally, I only care one iota about Joker. The rest I could not be more indifferent to
(Though Sakurai would create great movesets for them, indubitably).

Just not Erdricks.

Unsure what you mean.


Our last General Direct was September, and we had a Smash focused Direct in November.


Investors are probably getting anxious to see some new and worked on titles that Nintendo are working on.
