@mbun Nobody said anything about firing current employees, GF is in charge of the most lucrative intellectual property in the world, and yet works with a what is effectively a skeleton crew. It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to go through a hiring spree. There's plenty of talent in the wild from them to draw from, I don't think it's ridiculous to expect them to step up their game, upscale, and start churning out more for what they charge.

Implying that it'd be hard to find talented people passionate about Pokemon is also ludicrous, this shit is the most popular media franchise in the world and gaming is a booming market. GF is honestly being stubborn at this point.

Nintendo won by virtue of showing Smash alone.

I hope they add in a cover system, this game direly needs a cover system.

Also, it needs a romantic subplot, otherwise I fail to connect with the main character.

So yeah, we know there's a Smash 5 invitational tournament at E3.

Does that mean we can realistically expect the game to be revealed before then?

@dmcmaster I can honestly see them dropping Cloud for the new one tbh, just like they did with Snake.

@hanabi Seeing as Wonder Red is a Platinum character, he falls in the category of 3rd Party characters, no?

Also, now that I think of it, we should expect a character from either Xenoblade Chronicles X or Xenoblade 2 as well.

Honestly, other than Springman and the already confirmed Inklings, I can barely foresee which newcomers we'll have this time around.

Hoping Konami lets Nintendo borrow Snake again, or even better, Simon Belmont.

As for Nintendo characters, K.Rool (Not sure if he's own by Rare though)? Captain Toad? Whatever Pokemon/FE character from the new generation of games? I'm looking forward to being surprised... hoping they'll do progressive reveals like they've been doing for the last two games. Brawl's announcements must've been some of the most hype I've ever had on the internet.

Really not a fan of guest characters, Geralt included.

Then again, they take considerably less development time than the canon characters do, so it's not that bad, but I've really never been a fan of crossover fighters in Soul Calibur, it doesn't fit the series well.

I barely played more than 5 hours of Dragon Quest.
