Yes.

It feels wrong to tease everyone by mentioning it, especially after getting so many replies, but I absolutely can't share this; the person who told me in the first place wouldn't want that. All I can say is that it is possible to piece together who it is using info already out there.
Oh shit. I know who it is.

Here's something fun:

In Squad Strike, you can now have a full team of western vs. eastern characters

VS

(obviously you can pick other five characters outside of the rare crew + dark samus + steve, but i just went with these five)

Well, you only have 30k posts, so this shouldn't take too long to sort through

Here's something that should make even the Steve/Alex-haters happy:

Outside of maybe an eighth-generation Pokémon, Steve/Alex was the most "obvious" FP2 character. Like, Minecraft was by far the biggest "missing piece" in the Smash universe, and now that piece is filled. And there's still four more characters! And now that one of the most obvious picks is out of the way, we don't know who those characters are going to be.

It feels like we're in uncharted territory, now. The biggest "sure bet" character got in. What's left? Even if we assume the most "obvious"/boring characters get in, and one is an eighth-generation Pokémon and one is a Monster Hunter, there's still two more "left field" characters left to wonder about.

Don't just say that you have inside info and then refuse to share it when everyone asks, dude.

The Fornite dude is still out there, so that will keep folks on their toes until the pass is over

I wonder if Pokemon's out of the running now that we're passing by Crown Tundra with no rep.

Especially if we only got a reveal trailer today so that the Sakurai Presents could be shown off at Minecon.

If they've always had plans for content beyond Volume 1; RIP Rex and Long Live Geno.

Now, is this the right time to pull out the only Smash info I have and kill another fan favourite tonight, or should I hold off for now?
Galaxy brain concept since you can't tell us-

it's a Sora mii costume, and you keep riding the Geno train cuz you assume it will come with a square character

we're obviously getting a Gen 5 rep to celebrate that the Gen 4 remakes are never coming out

Given the dense proximity of fan requests I'm assuming what you've been told either relates to Xenoblade or a Capcom character.

I mean, it totally can't be characters you've been vouching for 100% like Geno and Travis, right? Right?!

I like you man but if you weren't gonna reveal it anyway then you shouldn't have teased it out in the first place.

Like... three years was before the base game even came out.

It's not super unusual for basically all of a game's DLC to be at least in the early stages of planning before a game ships. Especially something like this, that requires legal clearances and co-operation with an outside party, it would be planned well in advance.

I've said before that I wouldn't be surprised at all if Nintendo and Microsoft negotiated the Banjo & Kazooie and Steve/Alex rights at the same time. Now, I'm almost sure that they did.

MondoMega if you can't reveal specifically who you can deconfirm, you could reveal a couple who you CANT deconfirm right?
