The 3 is clearly referring to Danganronpa V3, featuring everybody's favorite homicidal ursine.

Hmmm, Sakurai is making a W M with his hands... The next fighter is Wonder Momo!

It's freaking Digimon.

Agumon confirmed. He digivolves into 2 more stages mid-battle, Greymon and Wargreymon. That's the 3.

Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, all separate fighters.

if people woke up at 6am for a nintendo direct and the big surprise is the 8th FE/11th pokemon character people would be pissed and nintendo knows that
also terry and hero were revealed in general directs, so i dont feel being niche is something theyre actually all that worried about
Hero is not a niche character by any stretch.

Would Dante play significantly differently from Bayonetta?
Bayonetta is bullshit so I hope so.
Dante woudlnt be built around time slowing counters and stupid combos

He's probably got different iconic weapons on each special button, and his neutral B lets him plant his feet and shoot in all directions
Also, if you can't grab bowser and slide on him while spinning around and shooting in all directions, then a mistake was made

By all means enjoy it. I'm glad you did.

But I couldn't get over Chapter 1.
Yeah, I definitely get that reaction, there are certain problematic underpinnings to it that I don't think were totally intended, so I don't blame anyone for that sort of ruining it for them right out of the gate.

Calling it:
Crash Bandicoot or Monster Hunter.
It's totally possibly maybe Dante, I don't know lol

Terry isn't either.
Both those characters are more popular WW than Banjo for example, but some people look at it only from their point of view.
Oh, I definitely agree. People who think Terry is some niche pull are probably just too young to remember SNK's heyday, but calling Dragon Quest niche is just bizarre.

Not what I was expecting the direct to be, but I will take it since I want to know who the next DLC fighter is.

Sakurai spent 48 minutes talking about Terry Bogard. If he's spending 35 minutes on a single character, it must be another "relatively" obscure character that he's going to give a history lesson on.

I wish he didn't make this weird pose holding up 3 fingers and there are 3 question marks in the picture. There's just no way he'll reveal 3 characters.
Or a highly technical character like Dante is in the vs games. Just saying

totally different, their moves and specials share little in common, literally only the B special (shooting/charging the guns) would be the only similarity, (and joker already has something similar), Dante uses mainly a Sword, and Bayo doesnt have a sword in this game, all the has is "Gun-Fu" which is a sort of melee based combat system that does punching/kick moves that translate into shooting the weapon as well (which dante doesnt have, dante usually uses his guns only for shooting, not for punching/kicking and shooting in the same animation like Bayonetta. So yeah they would be night and day characters. Only similarity might be that they would be combo based.
