ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN

IT'S TIME

STRAP IN

what's the over/under on another femble /sarcasm

also of COURSE this has to be right when my shift starts /breathes into a paper bag

I don’t even Smash anymore but I still get hype why is this

where's my bandana dee gang at

let the good boy into smash

oh shiiiiit

anything is possible at this point so I'm gonna say give me Skull Kid

I saw a leak. It's the cardboard box from metal gear.

I KNEW IT

oh shit i'd take skull kid

i want phoenix wright but skull kid is my second hope

well i really want joanna dark but that'll never happen

oooh

I assume it's dante every time.

Till it's not.

Okay, but how are they going to beat 'announcement from Sakurai's sweet gamer house'?

I hope it's "announcement from Sakura's sweet gamer house while he's sitting there in his PJs completely unprepared"

announcement from sakurai's sweet gamer house while he's wearing a kigurumi of the new fighter

please yes

The real reason it's only a 3 minute presentation is he just found out who it was before the presentation

He's sitting there eating breakfast, suddenly there's a camera on him. "so who's the new character?" "What? I...uh...it's..." looks around nervously "Knife...bowl...clock!"

"KNIFEBOWLCLOCK MAKES THE CUT JUST IN TIME!"

excellent.

Ooh, Dante would be great

I... have no bets on who it is but if it's another Femblem I'll puke in my mouth

otherwise I doooo noooot care, lmao

i will also puke if it's femblem

I already got Banjo, my Smash dreams have been fulfilled

as in, none of my real long-shot hopes are ever going to make it, lmao

Sora would be fun too

Give me the Doom Slayer so I can play Team games with Isabelle

Do it, you cowards

Well that’s a big fat disappointment

tbf the higher ups did force him into it and he put a lot of work into it!

honestly this is so wild that i actually love it

There is so much salt that I absolutely love it

It's a very "Dad said I have to let you play" vibe

Minecraft is 1000% the biggest most influential game of the past decade or so, it has every right to be here even if half the Smash audience thinks it's for their little brothers and not them, and half the Smash audience getting angry is hilarious

Y'all are just lucky it's not a fortnite

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FORTNITE!!!!

to be perfectly honest i'm surprised it wasn't a pokemon

The trailer at least makes it look like they did a ton of work making him fit

he honestly looks like he flat out got plucked out of his game and dropped into smash with no changes and it's absolutely crazy to me

they had to literally rework every stage so it could work, which is

absolutely wild and hilarious to me

sakurai is really good at that kind of thing, you gotta respect it

oh 10000000%

the man does not cop out

I'm sure they had that sweet, sweet microsoft money make the work feel easier

i'm glad this at least happened AFTER banjo, imagine the backlash if minecraft steve got in before banjo

Nintendo has a lot of respect for Minecraft, I believe it was Miyamoto who was on record as saying it was an idea Nintendo should have come up with.

"Okay, if I've gotta do this, I'm gonna do it right."

I mean, steve definitely deserves to be in smash

Minecraft is a cultural touchstone.

My nephew is gonna be thrilled
