I don't think Master Chief has any chance in hell. Really, almost zero. No relevance in Japan as the last DLC while already having two Microsoft reps? Nah. However, the only workaround for this is if Microsoft dumped a shitload of cash for a deal to have him in the game. It's a long shot, but if any company would do it, it's Microsoft. They're notorious for paying for clout and it would be on-brand for them. The only reason they have anything in Smash is because they bought already popular franchises (Minecraft and Banjo).

Lest we forget, the first DLC pack had five characters, while this one has six. Maybe there was some last-minute deal that happened after securing the first five? We'll see.

Master Chief would be interesting. Sora? Imagine Sakurai making a character based on the name of his company. A fifth Nintendo Princess alongside Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Zelda.

Not since the mysterious baby monkey hate epidemic on YouTube have I seen such random hatred but it's hilarious. I'm not exactly gunning for Sora either but damn.

And just by coincidence this will be announced the same day as Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl releases? Clearly Ninty is in panic mode.

I know everybody wants Knack, but he would probably break the game.

Pretty much this. I can expect anything from this reveal. Something awesome, good, lame, even Goku or Sherk

My guess is something that no one is talking about but everyone will love when they see it. Some legend from the past that will be hype as all get out and will shock people because no one saw it coming.

It's Andross. The face and hands. His final smash is when he is just a brain and he self destructs, sending out a massive wave of energy that sends everyone else in the matching flying (more than likely) to their doom.

Actually, if Steve wasn't the last character, it's because what's coming tomorrow is even more surreal and disruptive. And there are very few things left that can make a bigger impact on the net than Minecraft. Unfortunately the first thing that comes to mind is Jonesy, but part of me dreams that maybe Sony will be the one to allow some of their characters in, like Ratchet and Clank or Astrobot. Dreaming is free...

He says "even if you dont play THE game". Sounds like the franchise only has one game. Fortnite?

It would be weird for Sakurai to say ""The new fighter may be a character that you don't know" if it was Master Hand.

Yeah, but it wouldn't at all qualify as a character that "you don't know".
