remember when a guy printed out a banner with ****ty fake art of some characters and it was like, never shot down
Never doubt the powers of Geno being in a fake leak.

I have to admit, I was nearly sold on Grinch Leak a couple of times. While in the end I was on the side that thought it was fake, I did think Banjo was still coming, lol.

I still don’t understand this perception of fan requests being boring and predictable just because people always talk about them, it’s not like you expect fans to speculate if Bullet Bill has a shot in the next game or if Reckless Safety Guy is worth getting some Wii representation :V.

I mean, I always figured what mattered about Smash is playing as your favorite characters.

And that what people speculate about, their favorite characters who have yet to be playable.

Ironically, I think adding unexpected characters just for the sake of shock value and having creative moveset that at worst would end up gimmicky is frankly boring itself lol.

(idly wonders if anything I've said is in your "This aged well" collection)
I've mostly been keeping a mental list about DLC speculation right now. Everyone's a little far too sure about themselves when it comes to it.

Especially about anythiny rhyming with Reeve and Bedrick.

I mean, people don't like unpopular inclusions... Don't like them because they're not popular. There isn't much to explain, people don't like it when a character nobody asked for got in over the variety of other options that would have made a lot more people happy. If you like characters such as Plant or Corrin, that's fine, but I don't get where the confusion towards their dislike comes from.
I don't know why y'all are complaining about unpopular inclussions, when we basically already have all of the essentials.

I am a believer of "Add them if they're fun", regardless of if they're a big request or not. Truth of the matter is, both kinds of characters are cool IMO. Big requests like Ridley (heh) or K. Rool are fun because they're big requests, while out there/unexpected choices like Piranha Plant and Joker are fun because no one would ever dream of it happening and reinforces Smash's unpredictability compared to other video games.

It's not the fact, in the case of:ultcorrinf:, she's unpopular. I didn't even like her initial announcement.

What I do have a problem with is that people hate her because people only think she got in for marketing purposes.

Sakurai has gone on record saying the reason why she was added was b/c the dev team thought they could make a unique moves out of her.

And they did.

Sakurai himself was initially hesitant, but the dev team ended up convincing him.
So if anyone wants to put blame on someone for the inclusion of :ultcorrinf:, blame the dev team. Because they are the main reason why she's in Smash.

Shock value only goes so far (something Sakurai himself said), there needs to be actual substance to the character pick.

Oh boy, Cleave and Hendrick are getting in Smash!?

Honestly, I am glad that there is more people recognizing that there is more than to just appeal to fan requests.

Like, Isabelle was a nasty wake up call that a lot of people were just living in the Smash Bubble without much thought to other characters.

Also, please stop saying that Isabelle was a bad choice, she really wasn't.

You say this like Isabelle wasn't one of the most heavily requested characters for Ultimate...

I've wrote my thoughts on all base game newcomers, I wrote the most speculative thoughts on Incineroar surprisingly.

Now it's just DLC newcomers to write thoughts about, then from that point its speculation in-depth writing again..

I hope to finish this write-up by the end of this month.
If I'm not in that Incineroar section...
:p

Because there are still plenty of characters that people want way more? Yeah, there's nobody that really NEEDS to be in Smash, but people would still much prefer that characters people actually want would be included before characters nobody asked for, because the former makes a lot more people happy.

I didn't put it on there since it's been on a bit of an extended vacation, is all.

Though honestly Isaac and Dillon can both have cases made for them anyway.

I'd throw K.K. Slider onto that list as well. I feel like either him or Tom Nook would be some pretty big additions in terms of notable Nintendo characters.

isabelle is popular, the smash fanbase is not the only indicator of popularity

and she was predicted longer than most inclusions

people just thought she'd be an echo

the reveal is what set things off more than anything

I don't disagree. I just think Nook would take priority over K.K., is all. One step at a time and all that.

From what I saw, reactions were overall mixed on Isabelle, in fact, I see that some still argue that she shouldn't have been in.
You can find someone complaining about any character. I hear people STILL complain that Snake "Doesn't Fit" but hy all accounts that doesn't matter at all. No, I've seen far more people complain about Inceneroar than Isabelle. Isabelle has been one of those characters you just kind of expected to get in, echo or otherwise. Anyone who thinks that she was a "bad choice" is obviously just upset they're favorite didn't get in instead.
