Who's talking about datamining here? Don't the words of Sakurai mean more than that?
They were working on three (likely at varying levels of priority; with only preliminary work being done on B&K at this time) at launch.

Those characters got in before they reached 20 years... lol. That's my point.
I would say Banjo only really started topping the charts of "most demanded" after Phil Spencer said he was down to clown during the ballot.
Well yea, the idea of a competing console company getting a character in Smash was absurd of an idea before he Tweeted that.

Oh, I was talking about Smash Community in general; including discords. I can't really remember who actually said those things.
I mostly remember their reasons on why they dismissed their inclusion or so.
On top of that, it happened during the peak of the Smash 4 DLC ballot (which they most certainly used for Smash Ultimate)
Banjo-Kazooie topped so many fan polls during that time
Like I said, the day -1 and day 1 datamine tells a different story. If Banjo was in production at that point, it most likely wasn't in any full scale capacity because there was no fighter parameters at all pre-release. The fact that Banjo didn't even leak during those days also gives credence to the notion that it was way too early for anything about character 3 to even leak in the first place.
I can believe that they've started planning and pre-concepting the first post-FP character, but it feels way too early for anything concrete to leak in that regard when Smash leaks usually don't operate in such a disparate time table. Even Hero needed a few months in the oven until anything concrete on that end became locked down.
We didn't see much, but it seems to be like the Fire Emblem stadium (or whatever it's called) with no real borders tbh.
If it's like KOF, it'll have some fighters behind, will probably go into a destroyed / post apocalyptic mode, but the KOF stadium is the most basic KOF stage there is.
Oh, i'm not arguing against it being too early for anything from the next wave to leak; it definitely is; but I just wouldn't be surprised at all if the first post-pass fighter is being worked on in some manner, especially as Terry gets closer and closer to release.
First impressions for Yggdrasil and Spiral Mountain were definitely higher; that's all I'm saying (note the "so far"). There could be a gimmick that changes up the stage, but I feel like this is probably their break from three crazy stages with a ton of moving parts.
There is no empty space, it gets used to select custom stages in the random stage selection menu
Well no, you see, that's where the dreaded and terrifying second page button will make it's return.
Yeah, I've seen these videos.
*Ryu comes across a dead ninja in Hayabusa village*
Ryu: "His inability to protect his village must be haunting him even in the afterlife."
Instead of a second page, they'll sell a special stage select screen magnifying glass exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online Members to help with the icons being even smaller.

Probably. I really hope that his moveset would be amazingly fun if he get in.
For me, it's both. I want to see the closure of Fighter Pass 1 and opening of Wave 2.
Kirby with Ninja mask would be awesome. It's similar to Sheik but they could do whole head this time.
I was surprised to find out some time ago that this track from No More Heroes received a fan arrangement (not because it was a bad track - it's just not a particularly "iconic" one, even though it's one of my personal understated favorites), but I was even more surprised to find out how much it actually sounds like it was made for Smash.
This thing is like 10 years old, there's even a comment on the video about how it sounds like it would fit perfectly in Smash (bonus points for the arranger for adding references to Killer7's Rave On into the track).
Just goes to show how perfect this game's OST would be for the game. If Trav gets in, he better get a healthy dose of arrangements.

It'd have to be an instrumental - or at least a sanitized version - because it has bad words in it :(
But man, I live for that Jun Fukuda remix. Dunno what they were thinking with the version US got!
Funny how this is one of those tracks which seems like it's gotten so popular it transcends the game it was from, just like Tables Turn (or rather the notorious mashup) from TW101.
I prefer the US version myself. I don't like the voice alteration effect.
If we do get Hayabusa it'll definitely be a down note for me. I feel like DLC has sort of bounced around a bit, from a shocking new character (Joker) to an iconic classic franchise (Hero) to a fan favorite (Banjo). Then with Terry we go back to "iconic classic" and then Hayabusa is another "iconic classic" on top of that.
Like, it would feel kind of strange to me if, after all those varied choices, the last two are pretty much the same archetype (old school "basic" protagonist from a major-but-not-THAT-major Japanese publisher). I guess Hayabusa has the twist of being more of a US favorite compared to Terry, who's more for Japan/Latin America... but the fact he's straight up a ninja sort of undermines the idea of him feeling "Western" to me?

My biggest problem is that design wise Hayabusa would easily be the most boring to me.
Like make all the "Hat Ken" jokes you want fighting Trucker looking dude still stands out to me more then "literally just a ninja."

Another way to look at it is outside of Hero, most of these characters had their heyday in one specific console generation.
Joker: PS4 (8th gen)
Banjo & Kazooie: N64 (5th gen)
Terry: Neo Geo (4th gen)
Hayabusa: Xbox (6th gen)
And Hero represents the 3rd (NES), 4th (SNES), 6th (PS2), and 8th gens (PS4).
7th gen weeps.

I'm totally down for Hayabusa from a gameplay standpoint. Sword Ninja sounds fun as a basic concept and from what I understand he has more tools than just that. He'll probably end up my favorite FP character other than Joker (my current main) if he has a moveset like I'm expecting.
I'll cop to not being entirely enthused about another realistically proportioned, humanoid sword guy even if Hayabusa is a cool character and would naturally play differently than other swordfighters (I kind of see him as Smash having its own Strider Hiryu). It's partly why I like the idea of Geno so much, since he's a cartoony and completely unrealistic action figure, and I'd be happier if the pass pulled a wider variety of character archetypes.
And if you're gonna pick one of those why not Travis Touchdown?

Travis ain't shit compared to Hayabusa, and Izuna drop > Lightsaber wank.
If a ninja doesn't stand out then they are doing their job as a ninja :P
I've given up on the overwhelming majority of DLC not being normally proportioned humanoids. I've changed my focus to hoping that we at least get a couple of characters in the opposite direction. At least we got Banjo-Kazooie in season 1.
Suplexes though.
That one tweet about the "Banjo and Anime Dudes Pack" circa Terry's reveal lives again.
Listen, Astral Chain is my GOTY and you know I got your back on this, but as attractive as the new hotness may be, I've always gotta stick up to my bros.
Who else does your brother want so we can accurately predict the roster?
For what it's worth, my brother wanted B&K and more fighting game characters
last time we talked about Smash (like last week) he said they should add Crash.
EDIT: Well, at least you realised that, lol.

It's pretty obvious who he's referring too?

I edited that out!! gosh you guys are too fast for these threads!!
