I do find it kind of amusing how the tone has totally shifted since the Box Theory. I haven't read too far back but this is what I gather:

Sakurai: "don't expect too many newcomers"

Smash fans: yeah well Sakurai says a lot of things.

Sakurai: *turns out was right about his own game*

Smash fans: means nothing, Sakurai isn't always right about Sakurai


Yes it could be wrong, but in the likely event it isn't? I'd be very happy with this roster of newcomers. Add in Snake, Ice Climbers, Young Link and Wolf coming back? Heavenly. Hope the last newcomer is cool as hell.

Also how do we know it's Ken? It could technically be Shadow and Rosalina and Inkling get bumped to the other side. Isabelle is missing from the box too, so it could easily not be final.
The only thing that doesn't add up is that The Smash Direct would've revealed more characters in one day than all the months afterward combined. That's just weird.

"do out do eachother" That's now how it's made and Sakurai never said this. Castlevania isn't a bigger IP than FF and Sakurai isn't baiting reactions, he literally explains his logic about every character and not a single one is about "getting the biggest reaction", but their relevance in japanese gaming or their relation to Nintendo. I'll take characters that make sense over "what's the biggest reaction we can get".

I also don't get why every argument you make you end with this tone. Make an actual argument.
I dunno, I would kinda be interested in some crazy IP choices. Hype reactions aren't always the biggest IP but the ones that gell with most people. You seem to think the hype train would end at fortnight or something. But if say SubZero got into smash, a lot of people would loose their shit

Because everytime I seem to get into an argument with you , today it seems like you have no worldly idea what you are even talking about. Like making a comparison to a game who notoriously a roster problems because they didn't have enough characters and couldn't get the characters they want and suggesting it was an " Outdooing " eachother problem. And then before that suggesting that a popular character... isn't popular... because you feel it..even though the people who own that character...outright say it. Can you blame me for being confused? Can you blame me?

I don't find it that weird because there's less than a 4-month gap between the Smash Direct debut and the release date. And we're already nearing the halfway point between the two. Over one month later we got what would be the second to last newcomer. There would probably be one more presentation about the game that depicts online modes, Spirits, and the last echo and newcomer. There was always a lot to reveal about the game, the Smash Direct just focused on the characters. The Smash 4 Direct did the same thing, which I understand was kind of different because they were account for two games and two sets of modes. But they were still the same roster.

The funniest thing about the Direct was the Square Enix segment.

My friend thought they were setting up Geno with all the Final Fantasies announcements. He was so pissed when it didn't happen lol

Oh god, I didn't even think about what Geno fans were thinking about during this segment. No wonder so many people were whining about Isabelle lol

I blame Neiteio for making me mentally connect Wolf and Vegeta, but seeing Wolf eating what appeared to be a bird wing - and knowing that there is sentient poultry in the Star Fox universe - reminded me of how Vegetas introduction has him eating an alien's arm.

The internet loves fucking wolves and cats and dogs, doesn't it?

I think you're conflating furries with bestiality here.

So if we are thinking the game will have DLC here's a question regarding that. How long will this game have DLC? (IE we can expect DLC support for 3 years for example or something like that)

Someone was actually considering something like this before the Direct, "Square reveals leading up to Square character", but the character was not from FF and all the suggested reveals were, so I thought the reasoning was farfetched. Guess not.

hopefully 8 and 13 are coming eventually

Ha, did I liken Wolf to Vegeta at some point?

Also, that reminds me, I have Dragon Ball FighterZ on PS4, but how does the Switch compare? I might get it again on Switch and give my PS4 copy to a friend.

So how many character would that mean like 2-3 more?
Depends on if they'll release DLC echoes, and whether or not there are any unfinished characters planned for the main game that will be finished as DLC (Like Mewtwo in Smash 4). I could see us getting 7 characters like Smash 4. At teh very least, I expect us to get four DLC characters (that's the number of totally new newcomers released as DLC for Smash 4).

Somebody referred to Wolf as "Nintendo's take on Vegeta" or something like that, and the comparison has inexplicably stuck with me despite thinking it was pretty tenuous.

I think I have a nearly photographic memory, but only for completely pointless things.

Beefers acts tough like the ERA heel he is, but then goes home and closes the curtains and locks the door and looks both ways and then secretly loops the Isabelle reveal over and over while squeeing at TEH CUTENESS

So you're saying that Professor Beef is the Era equivalent of the Razor Ramon, HBK, Triple H, and Kevin Nash hugfest?

I was talking to my brother about what characters he wants and he thinks

- A regular Waddle Dee should be added. He has no idea what the heck a Bandana Waddle Dee is. I tried explaining and just got a weird look. He thinks either add Dee as a player, bring back Waddle Dee toss, or make him an Assist Trophy.
- The only two amiibo I own not in Smash are Boo and Waddle Dee, which is why he brought up Waddle Dee. He thought King Boo might work.
- Shovel Knight should be an Assist Trophy (due to my amiibo). I then told him that Shovel Knight is already an Assist Trophy and he was happy
- He was in disbelief that they brought Pichu and Young Link back. He didn't know until I mentioned it.
- He loves the visual changes made to Mr Game and Watch, who is his favorite character
- He thinks his female friends will love Isabelle when they play Smash together
- He thought my Revali amiibo was Falco
- Sora would be awesome to whack people with a key, but he's not sure how they'd do it without Donald and Goofy (one of his first video games, ever, was Chain of Memories)
- He said Smash has so many characters, he forgot Ike was even in the game until he saw my Roy amiibo.

This is a guy who doesn't play recent Nintendo games unless they're Smash.

If you guys wanted a casual Smash players perspective on Ultimate.

Professor Beef is a regular Mark Henry, he plays the tough guy but he's just a big teddy bear really.

pls don't split my wig Beef.

Remember DasVergeben's old smash leak where we would get 6-8 third party characters including Zero and Phoenix Wright :P So yeah, he got most information right but people just need to be careful to not take everything as gospels as they are doing right now.
This was a thing that happened? I choose to believe a Wright AT is now confirmed.

Wolf eating in Starlink is the horniest nintendos been in ages
Friendo, you're not hiding your horniness with this misdirection, not after the being sat on by various smash character posts!
