"Isabelle does a thing" will be the next hit meme.

Isabelle with Death's Scythe.
Isabelle with a gun.
Isabelle kills Dracula.

Incineroar will be #69. He will be revealed with a slew of vicious crotch-chops.

Anyone getting the impression that Nintendo is going pretty hard on Toadette lately? She went from a spin-off tier character, to the secondary character of Captain Toad, to basically running the Post-game in Mario Odyssey, and is now playable in a mainline 2D platformer. Not saying she's a character candidate, but she may be one to keep an eye on for the future (likely packaged with Captain Toad still).

Rumor Roundup

Vergeben claimed Isabelle (Echo), Pokémon (Incineroar implied), Ken (Echo) and Square-Enix rep. Most reliable track record so far, supposedly backtracked on the Isabelle Echo part the other day.
Imran suggests another Square rep and Bandai Namco rep. He's usually had correct info in the past. Also at some point in March he wryly suggested that Geno wasn't in but that might've just been a personal comment.
Anonymous User claims September 11 that Isabelle, Ken, Incineroar and Dante are in, while Skull Kid and Geno are out. Prediction that Isabelle would be the big Smash news this Direct panned out.

Which one's real? Which one's fake? I dunno. Fight about it or something.
Actually, I don't think Vergeben ever flat-out said if Isabelle was an echo. If I missed something, please let me know.

Also, this was mentioned in the Smash Discord.

The more confident we are for Incineroar being next, the less likely he becomes. We've been super wrong so far outside of hard leaks like the Castlvania one.

I don't mind assuming Incineroar is in since I don't particularly care for him. Just like I didn't care for Skull Kid but figured he'd be in before Isabelle got revealed.

I still think this was a result of the delay. Isabelle is a semi-clone, and her trailer was nothing like the others. Looked a lot like it was thrown together quickly. And the big one: no poster update for Isabelle.

I think there was another character who's trailer would have been insensitive to show due to the earthquake and/or hurricane, and in this past week they scrambled. They threw this non-effort trailer together, re-numbered Isabelle, showed no other Smash info, and called it a day. It'll be interesting to see if they keep the poster going from here on out.

This is easily my most trivial and pedantic complaint, but I kind of wish Simon and Richter were actually listed as Simon Belmont and Richter Belmont. I feel like the "Belmont" surname is actually what makes their names iconic, not the first names.

I fully agree. Calling Simon Belmont just "Simon" feels very wrong to me. Who the heck is Simon?

It's like the exact opposite of Jason Voorhees.

"Who?"

You know, Jason.

"...Oh!"

I learned my lesson when I gave someone most embarrassing avatar and they didn't post in any thread for a week until I stepped in and gave them another avatar. So I rather to not od that again since I sometime still felt bad about it.

Heck, this is cute, I might just stick with it. I don't feel ashamed in the slightest!

Something tells me I'll be using this move a lot for screenshots.

69 will be Travis Touchdown. Mark it down.

Man, I want this. Or Shadow, if only because of the fan art he's spawned.

Banjo-Kazooie would be a logical #69 as they're a character that can actually 69 each other.

L-lewd! They're best friends, nothing more!

Please don't be fucking ridiculous. Isabelle was planned for the Direct because her trailer was tied up to the AC Switch reveal.

This doesn't make any sense. Ridley, K Rool, and Simon didn't get posters either, the Isabelle reveal was obviously always meant to be here to tie into Animal Crossing Switch.

EDIT: I misunderstood what you meant by poster update, but my point still stands.

The logical explanation is that she got a boring, low-effort, trailer just because she's only a semi-clone.

Nintendo was heavily criticised for not including any female characters in NSMBU back in the day. It looked especially bad after 3D World including two.

Y'know maybe Elma would be the 69th fighter. Xenoblade is among the most sexually minded franchises in Nintendo's stable and Shulk was announced and shown in an underwear alt. His catchphrase is also "I'm really feeling it"

Do you think they made the Animal Crossing announcement trailer up in the spur of the moment too?

Alright, this is where I stand post direct:


Early October:
  • Youtube announcement of the N64 mini for holiday season, it includes Banjo-Kazooie
Late October:
  • Smash Direct: Online modes detailed, demo announced, Dixie semi-clone, Ken echo, ends with Banjo-Kazooie announced for Smash.
Early November:
  • Nintendo direct: Among other things, Golden Sun collection or port for 3DS, Isaac announced for Smash. Kingdom Hearts collection switch port announced.
Late November:
  • Smash direct: Spirit mode detailed, Smash shop, confirmation of post release content, Pokemon newcomer, Shadow echo, ends with Sora.
January 2019:
  • First 2019 Nintendo direct: Xenoblade X port announced, Elma Smash dlc announced.

I'm torn on where the second Bamco rep goes, either Mrs Pac-Man echo in any of the directs, or Heihachi taking Dixie's place and move her to DLC alongside either a remake of DKCR with Dixie mode, or DCKR 3.


Book it!

The music choice for Isabelle's trailer wasn't good lol. It should be HYPE AS FUCK when that tagline appears

So ERA, is Isaac still in the Hard Lock café?

There was no sign of Golden Sun in the Direct at all, despite the trademark registration. I guess that was just to renew it and nothing else.

This might be the most confused emotional reaction I've ever seen, haha. She can't decide what to be the whole time.


There are a lot of people that are just like her, absolutely beside themselves with joy at both Isabelle in Smash and a Switch Animal Crossing.

It's a good time to be an Animal Crossing fan!
