Of course they're upset about Piranha lol

Bunch of iconic characters that could be added from Nintendo franchises having no representation and they go with a non-character from the Mario universe. Hammer Bro is in assist trophy, Thwomp is an assist trophy, Piranha Plant is that exact tier of character with even LESS personality and it's playable.

I especially feel bad for the Waluigi fans right now because that "wacky Mario rep" could very easily have been him.

Chibi-Robo, Golden Sun, Rhythm Heaven, and so many others without a playable rep, and here we are with a literal stage hazard for a character.

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Lol, I'm a Waluigi fan but I gave up on him months ago. I did not see Petey coming at all and I think it's hilarious and a great fit.

Rewatching the direct now, without people talking while Sakurai's going on about Spirits mode. Yeah, it sounds really cool!

Even the Grinch Leak has now proven Fake... how in the World did the Leaker known, how Ken would look like in the "Everyone is here" Artwork?

doesn't look like the same image to me, doesn't have the fire effect on the punch, also, if you look for Ken on google images the first image where Ken is not standing is a dragon punch

so probably just a coincidence. Is not even in the same spot on the roster

Are a good number of people really mad about Piranha Plant? Or this just another "yikes Smash fans are so toxic" run of comments? I saw like 2 users here get mad but some of the complaints I've seen regarding the community look overblown.

Of course people are mad about Pirahna Plant. People will complain about Pirahna Plant 10 years from now like how they still complain about Jigglypuff nowadays.

Really really really hope we get a XC2 rep - it's my second favorite game on the system after BotW, I think (maybe tied with sonic mania). Pyra would be awesome.

Beyond that, I'm still hoping we somehow find a way to get Master Chief and some Rare rep (Banjo?).

Otherwise, this roster is pretty damn amazing.

At risk of sounding like a Geno fanboy, I really don't think he's out of the running at all for DLC. Which unfortunately means the anticipation of a potential reveal may carry over until 2/2020

I am just now remembering how insane Smash 4 DLC was. We got fucking Bayo, Cloud, and Ryu... All 3rd party (I guess Bayo is technically 2nd party at this point lol). The newcomers like Corinne. Then returning characters in Lucas, Mewtwo, and Roy. I think there is some great potential here and that Geno is not off the cards at all. Smash 4 is proof that DLC character reveals can be just as good as any pre-release, minus the high budget CG reveals which will never stop being awesome.

Seeing people flipout and say they aren't buying DLC because they might all be Piranha Plant type characters is hilarious though. But I understand the sentiment of avoiding passes all together, I'm willing to bet there will still be a bundle for them all after they release, and of course you will have the option of purchasing only the ones you like.

Was she not at the E3 one? The whole treehouse team doesn't have to show everytime they have one. There's other projects to work on and I'm sure there is more important things for 2019 to work towards before break that don't involve show casing Ultimate for the 100th time and exstinguishing the flames of the reaction to Let's Go.

I think she was, but that was several months ago. Yeah, maybe she's just busy with real work.

No it was just a fake. This isn't some grand conspiracy. It wasn't even a good fake, some of you are just extremely gullible.

Comon. I was team fake, but it's wasn't hard to believe that people could have gotten got by that. It was pretty convincing all things considered.

Lol. What are you talking about? What fake leaks in the past for smash were more convincing than this one? The grinch hoax is pretty much about as good as it gets.

I'm not sure why people think a Rex Mii Costume automatically means he can't be DLC. Smash 4 DLC included Mii Costumes for Link, Damus, Fox and Captain Falcon. One of the new Mii Costumes was even Inklings, and they're clearly playable.

^ this.
Piranha Plant is in the same boat as Jigglypuff, ROB, Wii Fit Trainer and the likes. Those unexpected characters that are hated by a large portion of the fanbase because they're not whatever flavour of the day they would've preferred instead.

I think the thing that bugs me about Piranha Plant is that it isn't even a SPECIFIC piranha plant. It's not Petey Piranha, it's not the one from Yoshi's Island, it's just stock Piranha Plant. It'd be like making Goomba a character, which is a bit odd.

I'm annoyed that it's the final character they announced - if they had announced it midway through and ended with Simon and Richter, the announcement wouldn't bug me nearly as much.

So I'm watching treehouse and it seems that Young Link's final smash is just Triforce slash copy and paste. I'm disappointed that it wasn't fierce deity but at least he sounds like he did in melee/oot

-_-

And the opponent EATS daisies. I don't want to say lazy. But it's lazy.

Ever had daisy spring salad? It's delicious.

Not in the base roster anyway, because Xenoblade 2 came out after they had settled the roster. Doesn't mean he can't be DLC.

Though, just like with Ribbon Girl, I think that if Rex was DLC, they wouldn't have made him a Mii costume, and instead made it Pyra or something.
