Eh, Rex's Mii costume is kind of in its own category being Day 1 DLC you can only obtain via purchasing the Fighter Pass. If anything he arguably has a better chance than most other 1st parties since Sakurai has publicly acknowledged him unlike most other "runner ups".
Yeah, if you go back even a week earlier, Terry speculation was almost nonexistant.
I don't see how spirits are fine but assist trophies aren't. The reason why both Assist Trophies and Spirits meant a character isn't getting in the fighters pass is because their status meant these characters weren't being planned for the first wave of DLC. But now that wave two is currently in production? They could very well be picked as fan service for those who were disappointed they weren't playable characters. Nintendo is aware over the controversy on Waluigi's Assist Trophy reveal. So much so that Reggie said he would tell Sakurai about the demand for Waluigi.
Agreed. The trailer was very well thought out (poor Geese.)
There is actually a lot more room than that.
As much as I want Rex and Pyra, I am honestly in the camp that believes Spirits are a deconfirmation.
Opossum
, I believe?) brought up that the talks about Banjo and Kazooie were already under way (or at least started) in April 2018, before the game launched. And a Square character was first brought up around June 2018 (E3). So if DLC characters were all chosen the year prior, that would mean the post-Pass content was (or is in the proccess of) being chosen during this year. I think this is one more point for currently "deconfirmed" characters having another chance.Keep in mind they were confident enough in future fighters to film the announcement months ago, before Hero was even out. Who knows when it was decided. And who knows when they were decided. The Fighters Pass was likely settled long before we were informed of such.So, two things:
One, the screen that says that more DLC fighters in development says in the bottom that they "aren't included in the Fighters Pass and must be bought separately". Is this just jargon for "buying this Pass doesn't give you the stuff on the next one" or could it mean the next DLC characters will be sold separately?
Two, there is something curious about their pipeline for DLC:
Some people here (
Not only that, but remember that tweet from Sakurai where he said he and his team were working on Joker, DLC #2 (now known to be Hero), DLC #3 (now known to be BK) and "something else" (Stage Builder) at the same time?
That is, three characters and one new game mode. So now, with the third pack and HRC release, this means their pipeline (assuming it has remained the same) is probably letting them work on Terry, DLC #5... and potentially, the first post-Pass character, right now. Plus, if there really are no more game modes, the characters should flow out a bit faster after the Pass.
That's all for now, I believe, just wanted to point that out.
I'm hoping that they drop Fighter #5, then drop some echoes for a few months so they can breath easy for a bit before the next original fighters
Well, if you want to get super technically, that's still correct since Terry's first appearance was in 'Fatal Fury: King of Fighters'. Naturally they would go with the original series the character was from rather than the one they have more appearances in, such as if Cody or Guy got in, they'd put 'x Final Fight' rather than 'X Street Fighter' even though they are officially Street Fighter characters as well.
Well, I mean, Sora would be a Disney Rep, not a Square-Enix Rep, so we could actually get both characters in the game.
Yeah, I forgot that for a moment..its been a long, long time since I played Fatal Fury..I've mostly played the King of Fighters games.
This weirdness is how Smash 4 ended. I don't think Sakurai bases his decisions on geometry.
Yeah..but the Character Select Screen has shifted and moved since its first rendition..they could very easily add another row if they wanted to.
Ugh. i cant quite put my finger on it, but Sm4sh's renders and visual style for the menus never popped to me. looked really tacky for some reason. ultimate is clean af (thanks to persona 5)This weirdness is how Smash 4 ended. I don't think Sakurai bases his decisions on geometry.
As much as I love D.Va, Tracer is, without a doubt, seen as the face of Overwatch. Look at any merchandise released and she'll be either the first one or somewhere on it.
I got so used with that screen I'm a bit lost now that they changed it to fit Banjo Kazooie lol Hopefully it will be back to this when they add more characters.Yeah..but the Character Select Screen has shifted and moved since its first rendition..they could very easily add another row if they wanted to.
It used to look like this..
Its honestly impossible to guess how many more characters we could get after the Fighters Pass..its not like they cared about an even looking CSS before in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U or for this game. The only games that ended with an even number of slots were Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl..and the latter of which wasn't originally meant to as we can see from the unfinished character data.![]()
4's CSS is alright. It's not great, partly because it ended like that, and partly because it's still weird about putting those future echoes and the DLC apart from their series, but the design doesn't bother me and at least it's still generally organized by franchise. I really wish Ultimate had that option.
While Overwatch is known for its ensemble cast, Tracer's the one on the box art, and she's the first to get into crossovers like Heroes of the Storm, so she seems to be the face of the game. It's like the Heavy in Team Fortress 2 - there are a lot of characters, but he's the most prominent.
Maybe. Banjo and Kazooie already looked close to done by their reveal, nevermind Hero. And Terry is looking like his development is running really smoothly, especially since the footage could even date back a few weeks ago, depending on the interval between Sakurai's recording and Terry's gameplay recording..
I don't think that makes him an actual KoF character though. KoF is SNKs equivalent to Smash Bros. or MvC. It's their crossover game. And while, for example, I wouldn't consider Ryu to be a "guest" character in MvC, I don't consider him to be a MvC character either.
Tbh I think every Smash since Brawl gets perceived as stylistically strange in retrospect. I think Smash 6 will make Ultimate seem really washed out.
Didn't know Tracer got a crossover with another property, though a quick google tell me Soldier Soldier 76, Reaper and Ana are the main protagonist of the franchise, shouldn't be the protagonist of said franchise to be picked up ? If either an Overwatch character is put in Smash Bros ?
I think it depends on the reception to the AT/costume. Like how Sans fans are just glad there's some way to play as him and have Megalovania as stage music without modding the game but Waluigi/Isaac/Rex fans took their AT/Mii costumes in a less positive light.
Here we go, Part 2!

Excited to announce that I've joined the team at Disney as VP of Business Development and Licensing for Games to help pair amazing developers and publishers with the best IP in the world. Still trying to be "that guy making cool games stuff happen!"
Well Tracer is treated as the protagonist of the modern day sections of Overwatch with Winston as the leader of what's left of it and the rest going Endgame Hawkeye. Problem is, Overwatch only piles on more backstory instead of advancing the plot any. Like a flashback that never ends.
After being spoilt with Ultimate's roster, it's amazing how this CSS feels so incomplete now.This weirdness is how Smash 4 ended. I don't think Sakurai bases his decisions on geometry.
What's crazy is Ultimate might cap out at around thirty characters more than Smash 4, which itself was already at the high end for rosters.
I went over this a page or so ago, but they could just as easily shift the entire CSS to the left so it's nearly flush to the edge just like before giving each row 13 characters and each column 7. So basically a 13x7 rectangle and a 7x13 rectangle for Squad Strike.
I'd advise not to harass people for a video game character for a video game.
I personally doubt they're trying to round it out especially round up the number of fights as some originally speculated (80 including Pokemon Trainer counted as one).
