Smash Talk time.

So I’m going to add someone to whom I think is being added.

It’s seeming really, likely we will get Karate Joe, maybe even in the next Nintendo Direct for whenever that is scheduled.

A lot of photo leaks have surfaced recently, almost all have been 100% debunked including a Skull Kid/Bandana Dee/Poke Floats leak that got a lot of people. Then another one with just Bandana Dee that actually hasn’t been completely disproven but it seemed off for some. There was also one that leaked the icons for Isaac, Geno, Rayman, Rythem Heaven as well as Golisopod being the Gen 7 Pokemon Fighter which looked really good...but Golisopod? I mean it’s not impossible but it makes no sense.

Now we’ve also had two separate Karate Joe leaks, seemingly not linked to each other as the icons are different. One of these leaks are fairly unique in showing screenshots of data mined photos that will be added to the website. While the other leak shows photos of Joe in the Fighter screen and gameplay with never before seen renders (let it be added Karate Joe is a very easy character to animate). It’s worth to note the icon shown in the first leak matches the icon in the unrelated leak with Golisopod.

I personally believe one of these leaks are real, people have done some stuff to disprove the gameplay leak but found Joe is on the same layer as Marth and Bowser when trying to see if he was placed on a seperate screenshot. And the other leak is too unique to really do much with.

We’ll see with the upcoming Nintendo Direct as I believe they won’t reveal Karate Joe in a regular Smash Direct as he isn’t as huge a character (especially since Chorus Kids are definitely more suggested but are probably a huge difficult to make a moveset for). As for Joe himself Rythem Heaven definitely deserves some representation and He was hinted at in K Rools reveal trailer with DK as well. I think he’s guaranteed a place in Ultimate and I don’t mind it at all tbh.
