It could be Tetra but the fact that it’s specifically “Toon Sheik” in the game’s code means that it’s probably just a made up character that fits the artstyle.
I mean wasn't the initial Switch reveal just drummed up like "Watch the Preview Trailer tomorrow morning!" (For the record that tweet was on October 19th 2016 at 8:30pm and the Switch's initial reveal was literally the next day almost not even 12 hours later lol) I'm trying to find if there was any like lead-up to just showing it like mention of a specific date ahead of time, but I can't find one and the Preview Trailer message has replies like "WAIT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT NX???" which feels very similar to current sentiment lmao
The first tweet about the Switch's announcement happened the night before the reveal itself.
Sakkie must be hearing the Brentalfloss version on loop while doing gym or while working on his secret game.
I've thought about this for a while, why did they use that image for that reveal?
Oh, that's an easy one. Sakurai's saving the spy concept for when he adds that other spy-themed anthropomorphic lizard:
Takamaru is the first one that comes to mind. After that it could be Excitebiker, Mach Rider, maybe Urban Champion or Balloon Fighter if they could scrounge up enough material for a moveset, Lip...
The Game Boy would count since it’s the same era as the NES and SNES.
See, the thing about these retro characters is that they need to be surprises. The classic picks like Takamaru wouldn't really count.
Personally I'd easily sacrifice Sonic for having Mewtwo back, and just throw in Dixie as well and maybe Roy.
I kinda wish they just pushed backward a little more and at least finish Mewtwo. I also think its a shame Dixie was one of the Forbidden Seven and then never considered again as far as we know. I still see no good reason why Mewtwo shouldn't have been included in Brawl honestly. He was a majorly requested character for Melee after all, but his inclusion might have been poorly received due to being a relatively and almost comically weak character competitively. Nothing a few buffs wouldn't fix though.
I think Tamagon would certainly be up there in the surprise factor. I mean, aside from being from a game that wasn't originally released outside of Japan(until the NSO update), his game never came to the West because of all of the religious references, the name itself(Devil's World/Demon World) and the satanic panic at the time. A pretty unknown character, from a Japanese-only game that didn't come to the West originally due to religious references and a sketchy title, getting into Smash Bros as a playable character would certainly warrant the surprise. And would be quite a leap from the depths of obscurity for that character.
Is this supposed to mean, like, a nondescript character from the GB Wave Race? If Wave Race got a character, surely it would simply be Ryota Hayami from 64?
I imagined a character where the individual racers would be different alts.
I mean.
The last few years of the Switch wouldn't be totally missing. It's just that maybe they'd get 1-2 characters instead of 90% of the newcomers. Hardly a big deal. That was the case for Brawl too, and a vast majority of the Ultimate newcomers wasn't topical either (I see no reason why you wouldn't count the 3rd party characters) and it's the most successful Smash game ever.
