Sure, I have no idea who the hell he is but ok. I didn't know who Incineroar was either but he ended up being the most fun newcomer in Ultimate so I trust Sakurai
These threads aren't even fun. Do you feel like you're smarter than everyone else for thinking he's in? Everyone knows at this point, get over yourself.

Jesus christ I knew it was a samefag autist spamming that retarded gif.

You know who won't be in? Steve.

Christian Turner
Don't tell me you actually bought the pass, user. I wish it wasn't true either. If it was just him, I'd be okay but if that's the trend then Steve will probably get in as well, and two shit picks is too much for me.

What's the deal with the 5chan leaks? I know there's one with just joker and erdrick and then the one with all 5 characters, and that the later one was posted earlier. But I've seen a few people say the first one was edited to match the second, is it even possible to edit posts on there?
Minecraft employee straight up said he's not in back in November
Charles Hall
where did this stupid have sex meme come from? why does it feel like Yea Forums shit? is that where it started?
Ryan Allen
She had to clarify that it was just her opinion. And then she said her lips were sealed when asked about outright deconfirming Steve.
Brayden Fisher
doesn't mean hes a character though. hes probably a mii costume or a spirit like shantae
Thomas Thompson
Nerds have used the Internet to experience power they don't have IRL for decades, it should be obvious.
James Martin
The fact that she said anything at all at this point is very suspect. Even then, she may have been told to shut up from the higher ups to lessen the impact of the deconfirmation or Mii costume status those 10 people that actually wanted Steve. Considering how a lot of Microsoft characters have been deconfirmed, a deconfirm of Steve would lead to Banjo, Battletoads, or others being confirmed through process of elimination. Remember, DLC was locked at the end of November, supposedly. NDA's would have to be slapped on the companies and subsidiaries involved.
>Doomguy Why does anyone think he'll be in, let alone the photo-realistic, gritty 2016 reboot version. What would the game even call him? Doom Slayer? Don't see it.
Carson Parker
>nintendo of japan picked the DLC. So why the FUCK does anyone think any western characters are going to be DLC, let alone western third-party shit like fucking Steve, who has zero connection to Nintendo aside from Minecraft being on their platforms, or Doomguy, from an M-rated, gory shooter?
Carter Reyes
Bayonetta, Snake.
Jacob Ross
whats the point of all this fighting? you retards have been saying >banjo >sora >random toriyama character 346 for EVER
i didnt see ONE of you FAGGOTS predict joker NOT ONE
you will NEVER guess whos in. FUCK OFF
Adam Phillips
>Bayonetta is a Nintendo exclusive >Snake was only brought back because "EVERYONE IS HERE!" they couldn't even be fucked to add more codecs
Its on pc. And 1 was on ps4. That means nothing hes a realistic sci fi charectar thats been in 2 smash games.
Adam Morris
ok this is based
Daniel Morales
If Joker has a female alt that leak is hard killed, there's no way they'd know his stage but not that if this were true.
Dominic Sullivan
why the fuck would this literally who goku looking fuck be in the game. if DQ11 is the reason then they would use a shill pick like they did for corrin
Landon Jones
This. There is ZERO chance for Erdrick. Hes the protag of DQ3. Thats like saying Demifiend is getting in when fucking Joker got picked. You're getting Luminary and you're going to like it.
Dominic Rodriguez
if joker and the dq dude leaks were real ,are banjo , steve and doomguy real too ? if any of these end on smash i will glady destroy live on v/ any nintendo related shit i collected over the years and oh boy i have a lot
Well Joker is in Smash so get that livestream ready you disgusting frogshit.
Daniel Lewis
>ringabel I fucking wish
Caleb Sanders
Nah o don’t trust Resetera or insiders. 5ch leak was just larping off insider shit. With all that Vergeben got wrong prelaunch I certainly don’t take anything out of his mouth seriously. I wouldn’t even mind if he was in but wouldn’t he just be another boring sword fighter? Idk. I’d think Sakurai would pick him but Sakurai didn’t get much if any day in the DLC. From what I know Nintendo picked the a bunch of characters and sent a list to Sakurai. Doesn’t seem likely Edrick would be on that list. Nintendo wants to sell DLc so broader appealing characters seem more likely.
Gavin Miller
Bayonetta is a Japanese character, Nintendo funded and published Bayonetta 2 and now 3, they own both of those games. Nintendo has a good relationship with Platinum as well.
Snake is in literally just because Kojima asked Sakurai. His son played Smash 64 and asked his father to see if he could get Snake in the next one. It was too late for him to be added to Melee so he was in Brawl instead.
Anthony Bell
Ah so realistic charetars can get in with ease. Good to know
Dylan Peterson
What would Doomguy even do though? Snake and Bayonetta have plenty of stuff to pull from that doesn't involve actual guns or shooting, beyond Bayo's neutral special (within the context of her game I don't even think they're real guns, they're magical) and Snake's grenades and missile they don't use any actual guns.
If we do get a Doomguy I think it'll be a very stylized version of the original game's character, like Duck Hunt, Game & Watch or the fake Mach Rider leaks we saw last year, but I don't know what he'd actually do for most of his moves.
Parker Bailey
A Dark Souls rep is ideal but it is only published by bamco in the U.S. Nightmare from Soul Calibur has a greater chance being from a fighting game developed by bamco and also being more of a unique charectar to smash then heihachi. He also has that "knight" aesthetic smash is still missing. Siegfried would be an obvious echo if they did that
Energy weapons, plasma, explosives, chainsaw, Could make him a grappler. All sorts of shit.
Sebastian Sanders
Bottom line being I think he's a left-field choice both being western and from a historically violent and bloody franchise that isn't owned by Nintendo. NOJ is apparently making the picks, why would they pick him?
Evan Edwards
plus mementos is just a very easy guess to begin with.
kamoshida's castle could work but its not a fair representation of the whole game.
casino is ruled out due to being a spoiler and i think in some countries its actually illegal to depict casinos/gambling in kids games (hence why pokemon removed the game corner).
Brandon Anderson
He's got history with them, a new game, a large following, the grandfather of shooters, is a large gaming icon bigger then most choices on the table.
Jayden Bell
To shill Doom Eternal probably. The best part is that IF Persona 5 doesn't actually come to the switch then that means Nintendo just chooses whatever company gives them a good deal for characters. By that logic literally anything could show up in the dlc.
Luis Thomas
But again, why would NOJ give a shit about that? They make decisions with a Japan-first mindset, always have for just about everything, its why we got Marth and Roy in Melee despite Fire Emblem having never released in the west, its why stuff like the 3DS's street pass was even a thing despite it being near-useless everywhere outside Japan. I really don't think NOJ cares at all about how well Doom Eternal sells or about helping it sell.
Persona is Japanese, the character and games are popular in Japan, and if we don't get P5 on Switch I'll be genuinely very, very surprised. I just don't see NOJ making a "shill pick" both because I don't think that's at all how they prioritize new characters and because its a western game and a sequel to another western game that only sold moderately well. I don't think it even broke 500K.
Gavin Myers
To add, Doom 2016 sold 10K copies in Japan on the Switch, I just don't see why NOJ would give a single shit about the franchise or "shilling" it.
Damn how many copies of Persona 5 on the switch sell in japan? Nah but they arnt reading about eacher charectar and thier game sale. They know of western games and recognize him. Your right he isnt a shill charectar. He's a Legacy charectar.
Elijah Williams
It's going to be great as a representative of its history and franchise, but deep down, we all know it's going to suck as a fighter.
because lol, Sakurai making any effort, it'd actually be terrific if he were to implement Slime or anything more than just swordsmanship
and that's also if nothing else bad happens and gets in the way of costing Dragon Quest a new rep.
and by that I don't mean fucking Steve or Banjo & Kazooie here because I'm tired of those gits, but while I'm at it, anything might happen
Can you try that again, but this time use coherent and complete sentences?
Wyatt Butler
Seething
Eli Gomez
>How many copies of P5 on the switch sell in Japan? >No, but they aren't reading about each character and their game's sales >They know of western games and recognize him. You're right he isn't a shill character, he's a Legacy character.
Hudson Myers
Eternal is coming to Switch. There's a high chance Persona 5 isn't. Dragon Quest is too. That's enough for Luminary and Doomguy to shill for their games. Like was said earlier. If Joker could get in, then so could those two like Bayonetta. Cloud got in and it took nearly 2 years for FF7 to finally be playable on a Nintendo console.
Jordan Anderson
I don't understand the point you're trying to make
NOJ and Japan in general don't give a flying fuck about western franchises. There are a grand total of THREE (3) western characters in Smash, Dark Samus, Diddy Kong and K.Rool, and all three originated from games in franchises of Japanese origin.
Levi Sullivan
>shill This has never, ever been a factor, Sakurai has himself said it is not how they pick characters. There's no convoluted scheme for cross-promotion, that's what marketing budgets are for. The idea that they're solely picking Smash characters with the intent to market other games just doesn't make a lot of sense.
Nicholas Parker
>nightmare too big
Hunter Anderson
Corrin.
Carson Sullivan
That is why they chose Corrin. Don't even pretend. >but the team liked the character from a game that wasn't even out in JAPAN YET Yeah right.
I'm gonna tell you a secret. No female alt, but also, no Jack Frost like they're guessing. These fake leaks are retarded and missing the mark completely.
Jace Bennett
Seriously, given the success of skyrim since 2011,it's a wonder why not a single leak predicted this ducker getting in. He is peak modern gaming history, more so than Sora or Doom Guy
Kayden Walker
Give it to me straight Yea Forums, what are his chances
Sakurai himself expressed concern over FE being over-represented, but ultimately decided to go with Corrin because he thought he could give the character a cool moveset and that they would be fun to play. There was no mandate handed down by corporate overlords, demanding they "shill" for the new FE game.
Nathan Ramirez
>Banjo is sadly not in >Steve is 1000% not in >Doomguy is unfortunately not in
-The True Insider
Juan Ramirez
He was in the baguette leak if it gives you any hope
Evan Hall
Thats just an excuse. A lie. The ballot was a thing. Theres so many more video game chars he likes. he didnt choose corrin.
Every day with this shit, Erdrickfags literally have nothing else to do. I'll take a million Steve threads over this garbage
Eli Perez
he wouldnt say if he was orderd to do it. You really think corrins moveset was so incredibly good it prioritized him over every other charectar to be the final smash 4 charectar?
