Sora wouldn't actually be Square-Enix though, he's Disney. Either way, I also don't expect him.
Given there's no Halo game on a Nintendo platform, Scorpion is more likely of those two.
I think Doom Slayer is still a possibility. I think that Cacodemon Mii Costume before Terry came out was certainly fake.
If it is Dante, I don't think the DMC twitter's tweet has anything to do with it. They wouldn't just hint at it like that.
Assuming that information that was explicitly announced for an unrelated game has nothing to do with Smash is a perfectly logical conclusion.
Is it time for Bingo cards again? I think it's time for Bingo cards again.
Not expecting a bingo (the best of these bingos for me would be two characters I'm personally interested in), but whatevs.

Here is 2 from me
Platy on Twitter
“And my actual wishlist. There is a character that was never on a nintendo console (dustman) and both characters that didn't started as videogame are Nintendo properties so like give a break samurai And yes, besides Bub&Bob and Doomguy, I don't expect anyone to actualy be there.”
twitter.com
I won't complain, or at least I certainly won't attack whoever the character ends up being. Disappointed, sure, but I'm trying to play Smash at a competitive level, I'll welcome any character that shakes up the meta.
I'm just making the argument for why so many people think it's Dante bc there are users here who seem confused. I'll admit to wanting Dante so I'm inherently biased, but I think the evidence for makes a lot of sense. At the very least he currently has a much stronger case than anyone else.
Sakurai is holding up three digits - 765, the Namco number, is three digits!
I've been out of the loop-- are there any leaks that suggested this date + a character, or are we in the dark on this one?
And assuming it isn't a coincidence isn't much of a stretch either. I'm not arguing it's a bulletproof case, I'm arguing that if you were to go character by character, there's more going for Dante than anyone else. I'm not exactly seeing anything more compelling for someone else
Nope, we're in the dark. First time we are since before Joker, actually.
That SEGA developer who retweeted the Direct is far more compelling imo.
I don't believe that means anything either.
This is more compelling than the DMC tweets about the 16th, lol.
Oh, how novel and exciting!
Japanese developers retweeting Sakurai or something he's doing is not compelling at all at this point. The man is friends with literally the entire Japanese industry and nearly every single retweet based theory in the past has not panned out.
I don't think we have anything truly solid at the moment, but DMC dev saying to expect news on 1/16 is more compelling than anything else atm.
Anyway, I'm kinda bummed cause I have to go into a long meeting directly after the presentation Thursday so I won't be able to fully digest it until pretty late in the day. Whatever happens happens I suppose.
I mean we'll see soon. I'm not here to argue THAT hard for Dante, I'm just putting forward the case I'm seeing on Twitter and other boards. It makes sense to me and until a better argument is cobbled together for a different specific character, i think he's a pretty solid frontrunner. I'm just weirded out how immediately dismissive people on ERA have been about it. But again, the direct is in 2 days, I'm not going to die on this hill when we will have answers very soon.
They are not gonna reveal Crash, a character with mostly Western appeal, at 6am Pacific Time Zone.
My first two letters theory lives on. *salutes*
Let's hope there are no leaks from Nintendo themselves this time. Whoever it is, I wanna be surprised.
Most cobbled together arguments insisting the signs are there have more often than not resulted in egg on people's faces. If anything, the Smash community seems cursed with the uncanny ability to find all the signs for things not happening.
OP
OP
Dante fan? Itsuno said DMC needs to come to Switch before Dante could be considered for Smash, and a port of the first game was announced a week later. A DMC reveal is confirmed for the same date as Sakurai's presentation.
Ryu Hayabusa fan? Koei Tecmo is a major company that's developed many games for Nintendo in the last few years, and with Atlus and SNK being brought on board with the Fighters Pass it makes sense to include Koei Tecmo.
KOS-MOS/Heihachi/Lloyd/Dark Souls fan? All of the Namco Mii costumes are suspiciously absent, paving the way for a Namco-focused wave 5.
Arle fan? Puyo Puyo's director retweeted Sakurai.
Doom Slayer fan? The Mii costume leak technically hasn't been disproven yet, and Doom Eternal releases in a couple of months.
And so on and so forth.
No character has a stronger case than another, and remember that if your preferred character is revealed on Thursday that you weren't privy to some special insight that the rest of us were too stubborn to grasp. We're all in the dark right now.

While I'm admittedly down on Crash's chances for pack 5, I don't really agree with this mindset. 6 am PT would be 11 pm in Japan. It's not really a good time for either side of the world. It could be 6 am PT so that they can release character 5 right after the presentation and have him available that day in the west.
I get what you're saying, but I just don't think the time of the presentation says anything about the character this time around. We won't really know until after Thursday.
Not always. Hero was another character that had 'too many coincidences' and lot of circumstantial evidence going for him, and it turns out that he was indeed FP2. I'm not gonna buy the 'it's TOO convenient' argument at face value.
And if egg is on my face then so be it. Like I won't die
I've been saying Dante was the most likely FP5 pick since before DMC3 Switch was announced.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, I was there when it was written.
They just had to add Dante after adding that classic to the Switch, Devil May Cry 2.
I'm just going by previous experience. Both Hero and Terry got their presentations done way early in the morning, while Banjo & Kazooie was during primetime American time. I expect Crash, or any other character with worldwide appeal, to be shown at a time more appropriate for the US or European markets.
That's not true. The arguments you listed are not equivalent. I'd say Dante and Arle are the only remotely compelling ones, the rest are just 'well they haven't been explicitly deconfirmed yet'.
OP
OP
Maybe they are being humble or don't want to get any special treatments? Or Sakurai were concerned that someone would think he played favoritism with the company who helped to develop the game with them.
Or it's coming? who knows.
So Fighter 5 doesn't actually exist? And will instead be revealed to be a DOA card game ripoff in 5 years?
