Minecraft guy in Smash. Not sure if I don't like or just don't care.
Depends on what's in or not beside it (if true of course).
Sign me up in "just two" team. This is gonna be the most satisfying crow serving in ERA's history so far.
I agree. The "only 2" people should already change their avatar and eat poor birds.
I can't really think of any out there characters not covered by rumors. Incineroar, Ken, a Square character (Sora), a Namco character (Goku). Who else is there?
A Namco character : "Goku".
Well... he's a "Namco Character".

Sora is possible I'd say too.

Street Fighter experts, is there an obscure corner of the series that has a model which lines up with this

Asking because this picture popped up in a 4chan thread and none of us in Discord have managed to find a source of the model that matches, fan made or otherwise - that is assuming we don't actually have a real, veritable picture leak on our hands for once.

I see Mappy in there so that would be Smash original

That's definitely not from any of the 3D Street Fighter games though.

Maybe it's because of how blurry it is but I can't even tell that's supposed to be a model. Looks like 2D art to me.

Did we check pachinko machines yet?
I did and there's nothing that immediately stuck out unless the person dug deep for it. I think only two pachislot machines exist for Street Fighter, one of which is SFII based and one which is SFIV based. The SFIV one in particular seems to feature Ken a little here and there but the definition doesn't match up; the SFIV CG models are too "clean".

Wow. Reading the previous pages of the thread and there was a lot of negativity and hostility because of Steve from Minecraft.

Perhaps we should go back to discussing a character that the whole thread likes.

I know you're a universal Im@s stan but you gotta get some good idols in here

Kaede, Kanako, Ranko, Nao, Mika, Shizuka...

Some good fucking food, man

So I went through every screenshot on the site and I haven't seen Mappy on Moray with that angle anywhere.

One thing did stick out though.

The general angle of Moray's lighting (light source stems from the right) lines up with the angle at which Ken is highlighted.

This could very well be real.

That Ken thing does look pretty legit but at the same time, if it's real, it's the most underwhelming leak ever

Everyone has figured he's been in for months, seems like a weird thing to risk losing your job over

It's funny that everything from the Street Fighter series has been underwhelming because we knew about so much in advance.

I remember that old Sakurai quote where he mentioned not wanting to add characters from fighting games because they would be too predicable or something (unless that was made up like many other Sakurai quotes and Smash lore). That's how I've always felt about them too. I'm not hating on Street Fighter or the characters themselves, though. I just prefer characters who don't have a built-in fighting moveset.

That picture has a lot going on in it that I feel like we don't usually see in fakes. But fakes only get better and better so who knows.

Remember, echos do count, this is the base game and you are allowed to either switch teams or opt out.

If any of these update post is after your post and I did not Include you or I put you in the wrong team, then please PM to add you in (same goes for if you want to opt out or anything like that).

So we are currently looking at 6 to 39 difference so a ratio of 2:13
I asked to be on team more than two, but just sayin it again since the list is made now.

Something worth pointing out; Nintendo's had a strict "no direct feed" policy when it comes to recording footage of the game in public events, and I don't believe any Nintendo footage has the stage paused to open up this kind of perspective. I don't think there's any way you could get Moray from that particular angle without doctoring it yourself.

Ken is a boring character.

Oops!

tumblr_myu9nrGyAA1r60q9ro8_r2_250.gif
Ken always seemed like an Echo pick because he's easy and not because he would be an interesting character. Like everyone knows Chun Li would be a better second SF rep but everyone is rooting for Ken because he could easily be put in the game as a Ryu echo. If he does get in the game, I will just be like "well, that's him..."

Update to the

Reset era number of character left bet (Avatar bet):
Big announcement. I will be locking the bet when a direct gets announced or a leak comes forward so if you want to change or bail out now is the time to do it.

Reason I did this was so that if a big leak comes forward we don't have people switching or anything. I will announce when the bets are locked.

I'm not sure if you know that there is a leak that had Ken as an echo fighter? And that comment about fighting characters was twisted and mistranslated tho.

The box pretty much confirmed Ken anyway so if this is true it's like whatever, doesn't change anything.
