In response, yes. I know it wasn't on purpose due to the timespan of when characters were created, I'm just pretty sure the Smash fanbase will (once they stop being salty) associate Byleth with him, considering as how it was one of the few games that he actually took seriously prior to Minecraft, one of the only things that could get him to stop aimlessly talking during a Direct, just look at how his demeanor changed whenhe was actually interested in it though.

And damn, syked to hear about the Cuphead costume, that's unironically epic, glad to see that more small indie studios are getting represented, even if Sans was just a meme character kinda. Also holy shit, Altair alone is really fucking impressive. Not because I have interest in Assassin's Creed, but because that means that Altair is the first character from a mainly PlayStation-associated franchise to get in, thus opening the door to even more possibilities than Banjo did, like Spyro, Sackboy, Lara Croft, Ratchet, Toro, Sly Cooper..... and of course (and most likely) the ever awaited Crash Bandicoot.

And considering as how they declared there was like what, 30? characters being made even AFTER the development of the Fighters' Pass?

get hype boiz

But in all seriousness, jesus christ Sakurai needs to take a break. Between not getting to see his wife and actually telling people in one of the eariler Directs not to worry about how red his eyes were, it's pretty damn obvious this is taking it's toll on him while all people do is bother and pester him for stupid stuff and act ungrateful about characters. (Not only that, but I looked at Wikipedia and it turns out he's been diagnosed with tendonitis in the shoulder since 2013, which means it hurts when he moves one of his arms, and considering he insists on doing some of his own game testing.....)

I'm pretty fucking sure that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will geniunely be the last game he takes an active role in developing, considering as how he hasn't been involved with Kirby since Kirby & the Amazing Mirror in 2004 and Kid Icarus is pretty much dead again, the man may look like he never ages but for fuck's sake once he hits his birthday (August 3rd) this year he'll be FIFTY, leave the poor man alone already.

Ultimate is and will always be his absolute magnum opus, it's right there in the title, and he's working hard to make damn well certain it is by packing as MUCH content as he possibly humanly can in and pushing himself to the limit just to make sure that his last game will be the absolute best possible, nothing can top it and it's better than literally anything else he has ever made, he's going to out (of making games) with a bang.
