What were the final fighters before the release of Brawl and 3DS? Not including leaks and unlockable fighters we were supposed to discover after release. Was Shulk the last official reveal before Smash 3DS released?

Incineroar would be hype, but it'd feel wrong to end on a franchise that's already represented. Give me something nuts like Banjo or Goku. Hell, I'd even take something stupid like Minecraft Steve

Shadow could be a huge DLC magnet.

If we're really only getting 2 more characters, (Sakurai kinda wasn't lyin'.) we're getting Ken as an echo and some character that will make a lot of people happy. My money's on Skull Kid or Geno. That way, they won't have to add a new stage and 103 really is the final count.

Lol, fuck that stage count. The final reveal will be a major 3rd party everybody will love. Dragon Quest Hero or Banjo & Kazooie. Let's get it!

... And then, Sakurai will announce a season pass featuring 8 characters...
Honestly, with how much smoke there's been surrounding a Gen 7 Pokémon & how Vergeben's still standing in terms of his Smash credibility (his credibility elsewhere leaves much to be desired), I can't see a Gen 7 Pokémon not getting in the base roster.

whichever theories provide the most support for st falcon and ray mk ii are the ones i'll believe
because we all already know they're in, so the best theories are the ones that acknowledge them

That kinda brings me to how the 4chan rumor brought up Dante. If it's legitimate (which I have my doubts on for a reason I've already stated), the guy/gal mentioning Dante separately from the others makes it seem like he'll be the last-minute surprise at the end of a possible November Smash Direct.

But Nintendo does own Wonder Red.

Maybe we'll get thrown a curve ball and the Pokemon is from a different generation.

Like Mega Gothitelle.

Is it me, or does the box theory hard lock King Hippo? Think about it, we went on a hero - villain - hero streak. Combine that pattern with the box theory, and there's only one conclusion. He even has purple gloves and yellowish skin/pants so it even aligns with the chair theory. Dont even get me started on the music theory.

I knew I liked you back when we played PSAS together (I was JStein on the old forum), and then again when you said you wanted Spring Man in Smash... but calling up the big bad from one of my top five games of all time?

Dante would be a wild note to end on. It'd be super out of place like Cloud, but it's crazy enough to make people go nuts

That Olimar and Shulk thing brings up a good point. They like having their last reveals be from new first party IPs that are niche and have a cult following...

Wonder Red fits snugly in that canon.

From a marketing standpoint, there makes little sense to frontload reveals to the point you only have one newcomer and one echo left to show three months before release.
People will bring up how the latter reveals were less "exciting" later but at least the marketing was more consistent overall. We had newcomers come in every now and then but now it just seems weird to have a big blowout in one presentation before release and to not even attempt to match that for the final reveal. At that point wouldn't you not want to disappoint people right off the bat?

Hello everyone! This is my very first post on ResetEra and let me start by saying I hope you are all having a wonderful day/afternoon/night.

We're less than three months away from the release of this game, and maybe you won't get every newcomer that you want, but always remember to look on the bright side, which is that Fountain of Dreams is back and is such a wonderful stage.

Hi! Don't be too disappointed if you don't get a lot of replies here. This thread moves so fast that folks donut respod to most things here.

Why isn't the character named Box Girl dammit

Search "Box" on Urban Dictionary and you'll see why...

As much as Diddy is a Rare character and Sora is a Square character. But okay, think what you will.
Nah. Nintendo could make another wonderful 101 game without platinum's approval tomorrow and they'd not be stopped as they fully own the IP. But Rare sure as hell couldnt make another Donkey Kong Country without Nintendo approving, and Square Enix would definitely get blocked from featuring Sora in anything without the Disney seal of approval.

King Hippo or Mr. Sandman would both be pretty great choices if we were to get a new Punch-Out character. Of course, Glass Joe would be a great joke character to use as well.

I'm still not entirely convinced Incineroar or even a Gen 7 Pokemon will make it in if we truly only have one more Newcomer left. It seems Sakurai has put more of a focus on giving franchises with less characters more love or even introducing new ones. A new Pokemon just seems oddly out of place especially when the other characters in the roster were pretty well established by 2015.

Nintendo actually fully owns the IP for W101. All the characters are very much Nintendo characters, even though it's unlikely they'll ever see the light of day outside of another Platinum project.

Even if the box theory is false, it's kind of good that people start lowering expectations a bit.

Obviously they released the box art as a false flag! The chairs were also a false flag, all to get us on the wrong track. And the music theory is just a coincidence, trying to even out everything.

We're getting everything we've ever wanted! Geno, Dragon Quest, Dragon Ball, Resident Evil, every single Pokemon, Waluigi as both an AT and playable, 20 Xenoblade characters and KOS-MOS, Sora with Mickey Mouse, all of the FF7 music, Banjo Kazooie and all Rare stuff, Minecraft, Fortnite, and 20 years of DLC!

My expectations have definitely been lowered.

Wonder Red fits snugly in that canon.

Pikmin was a million seller when Olimar got into Brawl and Xenoblade had a sequel in the development when Shulk got into Smash 4. Wonder Red doesn't have either of those things going for him.

If we're talking about smaller, unrepresented first party series, Rhythm Heaven is most likely to fill that role. I'm not optimistic though.

I'm sticking by my absolute moonshot of a gen 8 Pokémon. Damn near nobody thinks it could happen but it'd be a surprise for damn sure.

When Shulk was added in he had a limited release in the US. Keep in mind Shulk was implemented some time in 2012. There was a reason why Sakurai said he wouldn't be a character they would typically add in. Xenoblade Chronicles was more like Codename S.T.E.A.M, and Golden Sun at that time. Nintendo and Monolith just did a good job capitalizing on the brand by the time Shulk was announced for Smash.
