Smash Talk

Ok, time for my final prediction on who the final newcomers are for Sm4sh given all recent info, leaks, etc. Also we are most likely getting a fighter trailer within the next week so wanted to do this before that.

I’m ordering them in most to least likely.

Ken - has been continuesly leaked as an Echo Fighter and makes sense all around. Also his image leak has not been debunked and can be taken as real at this point. I believe his chances in at this point are 100%

Incinaroar - another leaked character to rep Gen 7. While at first it was weird to choose him over Decidueye, it makes sense now. Incinaroar is actually the most used Pokémon in competitive play and Sakurai also chooses Pokémon off their design, just hoping they don’t focus on too much fire with him as we already have Charizard.

Geno - he’s so popular at this point there’s simply no way he isn’t making it in. There’s also the Mii Costume trend going on that supports his case. And while leakers claim we are getting a square rep and Sora is looking more likely these days, I still think Geno is first priority.

Steve - super fucking happy for this, although it’s looking less likely than it did a few weeks ago it’s still looking like we might get Steve to be playable. Now personally I think they should do Banjo and Kazooie in the same Direct as Steve so people don’t lose their fucking minds, but it’s not even looking like B&K are in the base game. So we’ll see how that goes.

Now, here are a few others that might sneak in.

Shadow - echo of Sonic blah blah you know the story.

Skull Kid - still haven’t seen assist trophy blah blah, was looking really likely early on but now he’s lost a lot of traction, hoping for the best tho.

Banjo and Kazooie/Only Banjo - just to keep Steve haters away. But I see them as easy DLC.

Sora - we’ve recently seen more hints to Sora making it possible for him to actually be in Smash, even in hint in Kingdom Hearts 3 itself. It’d be very unexpected but I can’t see it being base game.

Isaac - lost a lot of traction to where I don’t even think he’s in anymore, base, DLC, or even as an assist trophy. Only real thing he’s got going for him is Nintendo trademarking Golden Sun again but even that’s iffy.

Karate Joe - still possible, representing Rythem Heaven should really happen in Ultimate, but maybe he’ll just be an Assist Trophy.

Smash is super close, and it looks like we’re getting a new fighter really soon. The next fighter could make or break the current leaks so we’ll see soon enough.
