No they DESERVE to be tied for first because I like them.
If there's another Persona character over an SMT character, Weiss might actually lose it.As much as I love Makoto I can't justify another Persona character and then the female Persona rep should be Maya but.. no one knows her.
Sabi and Vegeben: *claim to deconfirm huge swaths of characters*
Me, who's super cynical about the chances of any character but also honestly hasn't been taking any of the claims from either of them seriously since this whole thing started: "Well, honestly Doomslayer's pet rabbit being named Daisy is a more convincing argument in favor of him getting in than anything else that's been presented so far, unlike the usual cloud-gazing in screenshots this one had a deliberate framing and Sakurai loves making references. Not gonna jump out of my seat if it turns out he's not in either but-
Sabi and Vergeben: *lighting things on fire in the background as the masses run screaming in terror aflame*
Me, actively ignoring the entire scene and continuing on my tangent: -it would make sense for Sakurai to drop that kind of cheeky reference if there was intended to be a reveal by now, so if Captain Testosterone shows up at the Game Awards then we're all gonna look back at that screenshot in hindsight and go 'oh well that makes sense.'"
The fact that Stealth___ apparently even had a reputation going into Smash Ultimate is an immense amount of evidence towards that just on it's own.I don't see how Vergeben and Sabi don't come out of this without their credibility torpedoed, but I know for a fact people will just continue to believe them once they backpedal. Smash fans are really, really dumb.
OK, so I have trouble matching your guys voices with your names. Are you the deep-voiced British guy?It's their act now. Just gotta draw it out for as long as possible as long as the comments are coming in. I doubt either of them know a thing.
Impa is so good you put her twice.If I had to rank GameXplain's Top 15 myself but keep the characters, here's how I'd do it.
Though thinking about it, crafting that list must have been tough.
- Twintelle
- Chun-Li
- Arle
- Lara Croft
- Dixie Kong
- Terra
- Pearl & Marina
- Pyra/Mythra
- Impa
- Pauline
- Impa
- Shantae
- Tifa
- Medusa
- Amy
On the bright side, at least they haven't, say, gone out of their way to try to defend their points on here, deliberately insulted a bunch of people, and then crawled back to Twitter to ask for sympathy points when people called them out on it.That's just sad from Sabi.
Probably reading these threads all the time hoping we worship them.
But that is how things are supposed to be. That is how Kiddy was used in the game. Dixie could launch Kiddy in the air to break floors. She could also ride him like a wheel. Kiddy was always a weapon first, a baby second.Kiddy Kong would make a good Final Smash partner for Dixie.
It would feel odd if he was just Dixie's projectile or something.

My bad, let me fix it.

Again, as I see this shit with insiders stumbling on each other's words. Most of the time these people don't actually know shit until a bit before a reveal.
I am getting a good laugh at the Namco deconfirmation backtrack though
Hey, I'm not making any commitments. As I said already, could just as likely not happen.I'm just warning y'all because there's still time to walk it back:
"Remember when Nintendo tweeted a picture of Daisy and people thought it was a hint for Doomguy because of his pet rabbit" is going to be joked about here for a while.
And we see other people complaining about it at this point as well. One poster outright said they were leaving the Smash speculation scene until Character 5 was revealed. (And I wouldn't be surprised if others have quietly decided to step back from Smash speculation too.)
Yes, there are people who are humoring this. But we're seeing more people finally as fed up with this bullshit as I am.
A while ago he deconfirmed Bamco, but in the recent orgy of deconfirmation he lists basically every Japanese company except Bamco.

It's always good to have both possible versions of the truth out there so your confirmation bias-happy fanbase can link back to the one that happened to be right as evidence of your leaking prowess.
For the most part, no.So do Sabi and Vergeben agree on the deconfirmed characters? I remember awhile ago there was a rift in what they believed wasn't DLC 5 particularly around Capcom
I don't think Sakurai or Nintendo has ever dropped hints like that though. People think they do which leads to Chair Theory, but I can't recall a single instance of that every actually happening.Hey, I'm not making any commitments. As I said already, could just as likely not happen.
That kind of reference would just be pretty in line with the kind of stuff we see in Spirit Battles. But if it turns out not to be that? No sweat off my back.
Not like we can predict most of these things anyway, it's just fun to try barring the many, many incidents where people act obnoxious about it. Pet rabbit is a particularly amusing concept, but as far as analyzing official screenshots goes it's by far the least nonsensical thing this fandom has pointed out. Lest we get into the fandom's analysis of clouds/rock formations and desperate mental gymnastics regarding semantics. At least the pet bunny's cute trivia!
Square Enix doesn't really get to re-negotiate for a different character if they turn Geno down though. Sakurai will approach the company with a specific idea and ask for licensing rights. If he gets turned down, he's more than likely going to go somewhere else because it's extremely unlikely he's just shopping for another Square Enix character and would be including like Geno for more specific reasoning. It's basically more of a, "Do you want this money or not" approach.
I'm surprised this hasn't caused more of a panic within Smash speculation. "Little bit" would imply something more like 2-3 more characters and not a full season, let alone the remaining 10 "slots" found through data-mining... though, it does run a bit contrary to how Sakurai talked about more characters being announced back in September and his decision to keep adding on to Ultimate, so I suppose it could just be him being modest.
I'm just going off this list:No, it was top of 4 already disconfirmed companies. (Namco Bandai, Level 5, and another two are still disconfirmed according to him)
If Chosen Undead is revealed, Sabi will obviously play dumb about Bandai Namco's stake and claim to believe that only FromSoftware was involved.
I'm just going off this list:
Is there somewhere else where he says Bamco is still not happening? I thought this was supposed to be a collection of everything he knows
Oh gotcha, thanks.No, he added more to the list. He disconfirmed Level 5, Namco Bandai, Nippon and Ubisoft.

When has sakurai and his team ever teased any new character in advance? Cause all i remember are the greatest hits such as chair theory.
My only thought on that is that the one year anniversary was immediately after last year's Game Awards date and that they intended for the final character to be revealed by now, but this year's Game Awards being later into the month threw a wrench in that. My willingness to entertain all this is probably increased by the fact that if nothing else I just find the coincidence and ensuing trivia interesting.I don't think Sakurai or Nintendo has ever dropped hints like that though. People think they do which leads to Chair Theory, but I can't recall a single instance of that every actually happening.
It'll have to be Lego Chell, the only Valve character that's appeared on a Nintendo system :^)

Actually are the Half-Life outfits for FFXV in the weird Switch demake version?Left 4 Dead's Bill was added to the Switch version of Dead by Daylight earlier this year.
But let's be honest, as popular as Left 4 Dead is, it's probably had the least impact of any of Valve's major franchises.
Pauline should have a moveset based on Donkey Kong seeing how Donkey Kong has barely anything resembling his original game.Look, I'm sorry, Pauline is great, and she and Jump Up Super Star were the best part of Odyssey, but...
I for the life of me just can't imagine her actually being a playable fighter in Smash. I know people are going to jump on me and say "BUT WII FIT TRAINER AND VILLAGER AND CAPTAIN FALCON", but like...how do I put this?
Sakurai said awhile back that, in order for a character to work in Smash, they need to, as he puts it, "dance" in his head. Just look at Villager and WFT, Yes, they're non-combatant characters in the games they come from, but they still had a lot to work with. WFT's entire moveset is directly taken from several yoga poses and exercises in Wii Fit, and Villager's moveset, as well as Isabelle's, are deprived from the various tools and activities you do in Animal Crossing (fishing, planting and cutting trees down, collecting items, etc).
I just don't really see how Pauline can really "dance" in Smash in the same way. She just...doesn't really do anything besides singing. I've seen some people say "well, why not just pair her with Cappy?", which thematically makes zero sense because they don't have any connection to each other whatsoever, unlike Rosalina & Luma where the former is the latter's caretaker.

Meaning I want Pauline to throw barrels.
Why you just leave the thread with NotLiquid? For your own sanity since you seems cranky most of time! Beside, 5 more days then hopefully this nonsense is over with.
Don't forget Rush, from Mega Man.Technically I guess, but it feels less dignifying.
I'll repost on comparing Move Tools vs Final Smash Assistances:
Move tools:
- F.L.U.D.D
- Toad x2
- Phantom
- Pikmin
- Gordo
- Lloid
- PAC-MAN's ghosts in smash attacks
- Mechakoopa
- Gunmen
Final Smashes have:
It feels like actual characters are Final Smashes.
- Yoshi armada
- Star Fox Crew x2
- Paula & Poo
- Samus
- Kumatora & Boney
- Star Wolf crew
- Tom Nook & co. x2
- Mega Men + Proto Man & Bass
- Chrom lol
- Dunban, Riki & Spoiler
- Gomorrah
- Petey Piranha
- Phantom Thieves
- DQ Heroes
- Jinjonator & Jinjos
...Then again I guess that would be the point of Kiddy being a Tool lol
