Honestly, do we even know if there's gonna be an entire second fighter pass? Assuming it hasn't been mentioned somewhere I kind of have my doubts, like IDK I just kind of picture them making 2-3 more characters and then calling it a day.
I'm still kind of holding on to the idea that no one has leaked the character because the usual channels have seen the character, but don't know who the heck they're looking at.
We don't know anything about season 2 other then it exists.
Considering how successful Fighter Pass 1 was, though, I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't want to do another Fighter Pass.
Maybe the three fingers is listing off like "it's almost like you get 3 characters for 1!" type thing because they have 3 different alts, but I can't really think of a character that would work like that.
Sakurai does love listing stuff out

no amount of sakurai magic, despite how strong it is, can salvage this eldritchian horror:
Every single of its defining visual traits is contributing to make him insufferable to my eyes. Making him tolerable in my view would be making him a totally different character, which would go against the point of including him. Like, I'm not a big fan of Rare games or designs, but Banjo is just a bear in shorts with a bird in his backpack. At worst he just looks like a cereal box mascot, it's a lame design imo but nothing offensive. I can tolerate him. Crash tho? He looks like if someone poured uranium down the throat of Taz the tasmanian tiger out of pure sadistic enjoyment.
Crash was probably designed the way he was because the PS1 couldn't really do 3D that well.
He's basically just a triangle with some more triangles and details you could add via texture.

"Related to Nintendo, but not directly them."
"The character could be relevant with or without Nintendo."
"Weird situation."
How could we have been so blind?
"Sadly we could not secure the rights to the James Bond license, but we already did all the work so please enjoy the new character: Pierce Brosnan"
I agree with you on Steve but Crash looks just as cool as DK and Banjo. I'll take anyone but another anime style character.
Could be Puyo Puyo. We got Arle as the protagonist of the Classic series, Amitie as the protagonist of the Fever series and Ringo as the protagonist of the Modern series.
...I didn't used to hate Digimon but this account is making me consider it.
I'm glad that if Smashboards ever blows up in Twitter will still have our weird Smash speculation logic itch covered.
I mean the only reason to think they wouldn't do a 5 character pass for Season 2 is that Nintendo sometimes just makes bizarrely incompetent business decisions for no reason. Other than that premise, it's a pretty safe bet since there's a reason why every other fighting game has season passes for a group of fighters and why they announced Season 2 by directly calling out how successful Season 1 was.
The weird thing about those hints is that they perfectly describe Bayo and Banjo... And KOS-MOS, who's been deconfirmed apparently?
So to my recollection that leaves...

well, this technically counts as offsite drama but the account owner makes people hate digimon.
Nintendo doesn't own the IP, they just own the majority of The Pokemon Company which owns the IP.
This is the exact kind of obfuscated hazy ownership Zippo was talking about — Eiscue is IN
Nintendo owns the IP. TPC couldn't just go and make a Pokemon game without Nintendo, Nintendo owns all the characters and Pokemon
Digimon fans: "Digimon is Pokémon's rival!"
Pokémon:
You'd be hard pressed to find a Digimon fan in 2020 saying that lol
It was a combination of things IIRC. PS1's low resolution displayed many shaded polygons better than when they are textured hence why theres only one texture on the entire model (his back). They also opted to use vertex animation instead of a normal rig so doing that through many polygons allowed him to be better animated than other 3D characters at the timeCrash was probably designed the way he was because the PS1 couldn't really do 3D that well.
He's basically just a triangle with some more triangles and details you could add via texture.
Just look at this Fsmash!
Meh, we don't need another Ness clone
Ooh, I see it's the "bash the favorite character of someone else" day
Crash looks stupidly adorable and that's how he's supposed to be.
and your favorite character isn't half bad either. have a nice day <3

I've had this conversation probably a half dozen times on this website and every time I come away more confused than before
But I thought Nintendo owned the trademark while TPC owned the IP or something like that? Basically Nintendo has veto power on anything using the name "Pokemon" or "Pikachu" but like the game code is owned by TPC (which Nintendo in turn owns of a majority of)
While this is all true and I've tried to be as factually correct about NMH as possible both here and in the NMHIII Info/Speculation thread. I think people are reading too far into everything. If the comments are "sorta kind first party" "like Bayonetta" and "possibly relevant with or without Nintendo" I don't see how that translates into people thinking it's a co-own IP.
Bayonetta 2 got revealed at the WiiU launch event, had extensive Nintendo cross over content in the form of costumes, was published by Nintendo worldwide and has a 3rd entry as a flagpole title for Switch.
NMH was at the Switch launch event, had several Nintendo cross over content in the form of Zelda/Fatal Frame t-shirts, was distributed* by Nintendo worldwide and has a 3rd entry as a flagpole title for the Switch.
*I can't imagine the average person knowing or even caring about the difference and even then people in the know make mistakes. A Marvelous rep thought Nintendo was the publisher for TSA for what it's worth. The association between Nintendo and NMH is clearly there.
I personally don't think Travis is the last character, but has a shot as an additional fighter. I just think people are twisting what was said and adding their own implications. We don't even know if the hints are right.
How dare you say that my character isn't 50% bad
Edelgard is 100% bad
In the nineties bad way
Which is why the "hints" mean nothing. Especially when they say that it could be referring to upcoming characters as well.
Just to clarify, Zippo walked back on it being like a Bayonetta case. He said the character is "related" to Nintendo but not directly, which can be spun in more ways than one. He did say the rep would be able to exist with or without them. Passing Assassin pointed out that TSA getting PS4/Steam ports still makes Travis in contention for that distinction, it depends on how you want to read into his "it's a weird situation" comment.
