Oh I skipped over the whole thing cause I thought it was just a nonsense silly E3 OP :v:

But yeah I agree if they count Snake and Ice Climbers as "newcomers" I'm gonna be annoyed

They already announced the Inklings I really hope they aren’t part of the five newcomers if that’s true

I want to believe that it's a safe bet that the characters who were banished to the Mii Fighter Outfit realm in Smash 4 will be the newcomers are full-fledged characters. Lloyd, King K Rule, Geno, and the fan favorite

Hyped as hell that everyone is back, including Wolf. Really wanted more new character reveals though besides 1 and a half :(

I'm so excited Wolf is back. I hate Fox and Falco is whatever. Wolf felt so much better to me than those two and him fighting with his claws kicked rear end compared to the other two.

It's a shame they picked the inferior old and busted Callie and Marie for the assist trophy instead of the objectively superior Marina and Pearl

I wouldn't expect more than one or two more newcomers. Sakurai specifically said that their focus was on bringing everyone back and we shouldn't expect too many newcomers.

That said I would be surprised if there wasn't one more. Hopefully Simon Belmont--that rumor's been around a while and getting some Castlevania in here would be very welcome. Two more would be fantastic, but seems slightly less likely.

One or two more would be super disappointing, gigantic roster already existing aside. Hopefully DLC after the game is finished keeps coming. I know people are gonna be like "there's already so many characters can't you just be happy!" and I get that side. But I can't pretend I wouldn't be disappointed by only getting one or two newcomers after this morning.

It also doesn't help that I think the model/design they went for with Ridley is loving ugly as hell. I liked the Smashified rendition where everything is a lot softer and the purple is a lot brighter.

edit: That all being said I'm STILL excited for the possibility of Simon Belmont, even if I've never gotten into Castlevania before. Specifically I hope they try to incorporate his movement from the NES games into this moveset, like the way his jump works.

My guess would be somewhere around 70-72 characters. So a lower number of newcomers compared to earlier Smash games.

So we have the Inklings, Ridley, plus five to seven more. If we're counting echo characters, those might fill up a few slots as well.

I will never count echo characters :colbert: I will allow for a single Ecco character

Has Knuckles appeared on the stream at all as an assist trophy? He shows up for a second in the fighter video for Sonic, but it's not clear. I REALLY REALLY hope he's an echo character and not an assist trophy, that would be dope as hell. All of Sonic's movesets work perfectly fine with Knuckles too, lots of punching and kicking (just make him move slower). The only thing that would be different I think would be his final smash, cause super knuckles isn't really ever depicted as flying around in the games like Super Sonic does. Althought I guess there also hasn't really been a super knuckles since the old games + mania
