Every time a magazine or media has made a mistake, Nintendo always corrects them on social media or some form as far as I can remember.

Rochester, New York
Sun/Moon Stage - Incineroar
Minecraft Stage - Steve
Ken's Stage - Ken

I don't really know what the last two would be. I don't think they'd be for series without new reps, because why hold them back?

And I actually believe Ken's stage would get in with Ken. That feels like a Sakurai thing to do.

If Ken gets a stage then give me Radical Highway.

We have a MonHun stage in at least Spirits Mode w/ no MonHun character announced. That stage could probably be in Multiplayer (but with actual level design than a flat arena)

I'm hoping for a DKCTF stage because it'd be nice to have a new snow themed level.

Yoshi's Crafted World can be a stage. They got rid of Woolly World.

Why the fuck are people guessing Incineroar and Steve when the only somewhat credible rumor suggests we would get Incineroar and a Square character

I mean, even if you're not familiar with the character, there was something shocking about a third-party series immediately getting a second playable character.
I do remember people being more shocked there was another guy than being hyped over who he was. Honestly it was a pretty shocking reveal I can see why people would be excited even if they weren't familiar with the character especially when Simon was leaked

As Ike would say, "prepare yourself"

Maybe he can replace Mr.Sandbag!

The next Direct is likely going to have a Mii Costume showcase since we haven't gotten one yet. I expect Creeper / Steve heads to be the Geno-esque special surprise, leading into a stage reveal.

I don't particularly trust info from sources unrelated to Smash, since its possible the stuff they see is misunderstood along the way. Hell even Vergeben's own sources confused Isabelle for an echo at first, and we don't know the context behind that.

Man, the speculation has pretty much shifted entirely towards 3rd-party characters. Ken, Shadow, Banjo, Geno, Sora, Dante, Steve, DQ Hero, Monster Hunter, etc.

Because 3rd party side is where the most surprises will be.

Rumors have been pointing towards Incineroar being the last Nintendo newcomer in the game, and for DLC I don't think this community has any hope for a Nintendo character other than Spring Man or Rex.

This is jumping a bit too ahead, is it? We don't even know how DLC will be distributed this time.

If we got a Microsoft rep at all, Steve would be priority. Minecraft is bigger and more influential than Banjo-Kazooie ever was, despite wanting the latter myself. With a lot of third parties getting 2+ reps, though, I feel like one or the other could be reserved for DLC (Banjo would probably make the most sense in this regard, in terms of sales). Sakurai's feelings on Minecraft sort of solidify some bit of representation, however much that may be.

Not hard to find honestly speaking


Christ. I don't think that level of unhinged enthusiasm represents the reaction as a whole (and I like Isabelle just fine).

Anyway, I think Steve would be a lame addition, personally. I completely missed the Minecraft phenomenon. Zero connection. I'd raise an eyebrow like I did for Bayonetta.

Im in the camp that Steve is unlikely simply because he isnt the appeal of Minecraft. A stage checks all the boxes of what makes Minecraft a great game. Its like asking for a tetrimino character instead of a Tetris stage.

We got Mega Man before Sakurai touched other Capcom franchises.

He's also fully aware of how desired Banjo is and the roster so far has shifted to fan favorites. Not to mention Banjo's inherent connection to Nintendo would make him king in that regard.

Sakurai does like to have Smash celebrate Gaming history but it will go for the Nintendo centric characters first. Besides I think Steve would be a better DLC candidate

I think Steve would be a lame addition, personally. I was there for the Minecraft phenomenon. Plenty of connections and memories, but zero connection to Steve as I was a blocky ass Meta Knight. For me I already have my Minecraft rep.

I agree that DLC is hard to predict, but I was very let down by how Smash 4's DLC handled Nintendo characters.
I think Smash 4 was just in a different situation. Now that we have a Smash game on a very successful hardware with very successful software sales, I'd imagine they can a bigger budget for DLC and no veterans to take up development time since they're all in the base game now.


PLUS, there is a possibility they could do something like Season Pass or whatever to even allow content that wouldn't sell on its own (like ATs). I don't feel Sakurai is gonna repeat the same things he has done.

I actually welcome the idea of Steve. He could actually be a mechanically interesting character.
I unironically want Sora too

I don't think Doomguy would exactly fit in Smash without being gimped off the gore stuff and I feel he's such an unlikely fighter. Too much going against him so IDK...

...

By miracle if that happens though, I'd let the Doom fangirl in me to scream in pure joy if he got in. Doom was a childhood game of mine and it's still a masterpiece.
