I don't think he'll be in Smash. I mean I haven't been following these rumours too closely, but it feels as though it's just an amiibo.
I don't get why people think SK having two amiibo released far apart is some weird concept that will never happen.
If SK is released on Monday, let's say. His Smash Amiibo isn't coming out until at least Spring 2016, based on how long the other DLC is taking to get Amiibo. That's a long time for Yacht to need to wait to add the Amiibo features they want to add to their game.
We don't even have a date for Ryu, Lucas and Roy, but it'll be early/mid Winter 2016, and they came out months ago.
Exactly! Retailers (who are leaking everything) probably wouldn't even know about the second amiibo yet because it would come out in like spring or some shit.I don't get why people think SK having two amiibo released far apart is some weird concept that will never happen.

But as stated earlier, Nintendo doesn't get much money from this Amiibo since they weren't the ones who made it (for reference, Nintendo gets a majority of the profits from the Amiibos for Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, & soon Ryu, since Nintendo made all of the Smash Amiibos themselves). On top of that...I don't think he'll be in Smash. I mean I haven't been following these rumours too closely, but it feels as though it's just an amiibo.

As these two pointed out, if Shovel Knight is in Smash, his Amiibo won't be released from Nintendo themselves until 2016.To add to that, Yacht Club said they've been working on this amiibo for over a year. That would have been far before Shovel Knight got picked for Smash if he really got in through the Ballot. If he's in Smash that is totally unrelated to this amiibo.
I don't think Tamaki or his source would be one to jump to this kind of conclusion. It's pretty clear that the Smash base was purely for a prototype. Plus said sources told him that development on Shovel Knight was well underway, not that they just saw an image. Plus the Smash rumor overall is unrelated to the Yacht Club Games Amiibo rumor.Nintendo most likely provided Yacht Club Games with the Smash base render to use with their concept art. Tamaki’s source probably saw the concept art and assumed the Smash base meant Shovel Knight was going to be in the game.

Who said that means he is in Smash? The point is that the amiibo announced doesn't mean Shovel Knight isn't in Smash.I don't get why that means he's in smash.
It doesn't, it means the amiibo doesn't deconfirm him. Multiple trusted sources are saying he's in.I don't get why that means he's in smash.
That's the implication I get when I say I don't think he'll be in Smash and someone argues my opinion with that as reasoning.Who said that means he is in Smash? The point is that the amiibo announced doesn't mean Shovel Knight isn't in Smash.
Just a misunderstand thenThat's the implication I get when I say I don't think he'll be in Smash and someone argues my opinion with that as reasoning.
The rumor by Tamaki only mentioned Shovel Knight in Smash. The Amiibo was just an observation made by Tamaki based on the listing that he had no intel on at the time (likely because Nintendo didn't make the Shovel Knight Amiibo that was recently revealed).Just a misunderstand then
The rumors mention both an amiibo and him being playable in smash.
I'll repost this here because why not
Man, I really don't care about Snake, but I'd be hype as shit for that.
Snake coming back to Smash because of a game that it's not even hitting Wii U? lolI'll repost this here because why not
Didn't the Nintendo-Konami relationship fall apart in recent years, even before Konami went off the deep-end? It's no coincidence that the existing third party characters are from companies that Nintendo's pretty damn friendly with. Then again, Nintendo burned a lot of their third party relationships.I'll repost this here because why not
Are we forgetting Snake, Brawl, and MGS4?Snake coming back to Smash because of a game that it's not even hitting Wii U? lol

What's with the patch assumption? Smash Bros. server maintenance is routine. The servers were recently down on July 2, July 13, and August 5 without any corresponding patches.I'm trying to figure out why the 3DS patch is an hour after the Wii U patch.

I feel terrible for the people who really believe Snake is coming on Monday.
I mean, they're doing it to themselves, but I'm not heartless.

I don't see Snake returning to Smash ever again. What I do see happening is a character ending up having Snake's old moveset in some respects. His moveset is still pretty unique and it would be a waste to leave it out.
I sorta hope it's someone who nobody expects personally. Shovel Knight would be awesome. But I want a real surprise this time XD.
I feel like a Resident Evil character could have his move set with some tweaks.
For some reason, a Resident Evil character without a gun would be much more jarring than Snake without a gun. It's probably because Marvel vs. Capcom 3 already has a perfect representation of Chris Redfield, and I don't think Sakurai would want to include a butchered version of a character that is better represented in another fighting game. I love the Smash Bros. versions of Mega Man and Ryu, so an unfaithful Chris would be upsetting.I feel like a Resident Evil character could have his move set with some tweaks.
Inklings have potential for such an unique moveset, being a Snake clone of sorts would be... underwhelming, to say the least.I was more thinking of something more...colourful. like the Inkling, though the recovery would probably be different.
Chris starred in more mainline Resident Evil games. I see him as the face of the series, but that might just be me. Chris, Jill, and Leon are all popular.If there was a RE rep in Smash, I think it'd be Jill instead of Chris.

There's a popular theory that Sami (Advance Wars) could inherit Snake's moveset, but that wouldn't be a faithful representation of her series either.That is also very true.
I kinda see Jill as the face of the series, maybe because most RE games I played had her as the main character (or one of the main characters) and also because she was the first RE character to be featured in a crossover, I think. I can visualize Jill in Smash, but I have trouble visualizing Chris. Though this is just my personal view on "the face of RE".Chris starred in more mainline Resident Evil games. I see him as the face of the series, but that might just be me. Chris, Jill, and Leon are all popular.
I think it would be weird to represent a third-party series with a character who didn't exist until the second installment. Chris is a more constant force through the series, and the GCN remake of Resident Evil was a critical and commercial success. Umbrella Chronicles and Revelations also did well. Resident Evil as a whole is probably a more important consideration than "Nintendo + Resident Evil." Snake and Pac-Man have designs mostly inspired by non-Nintendo games, and they're hardly Nintendo icons themselves. Heihachi was considered for Smash Bros., but only two Tekken games have been ported to Nintendo hardware. I don't know if being super important to Nintendo is a requirement for guest characters.Why wouldn't it be Leon?
RE4 is famous and considered one of the best games in the series and was a GCN exclusive for years, plus it got a successful and critically acclaimed Wii port.
When I think of Nintendo + Resident Evil, Leon is who comes to mind.

It's definitely debatable. They're both important. Chris was the primary protagonist of the first game, listed before Jill on the official site and manual (and he's on the cover art), and he was more recently the star of RE5 and RE6. Jill's last mainline starring role was in 1999 with RE3. I just feel like Chris is best representative of the entire series.I mean
if Resi ever got into Smash, there's literally no way it wouldn't be Jill playable
Not at that time, no. But yeah, the retailers said we might not see SK until November.We're all assuming there will be something the coming few days. But there's nothing that really confirms their will be something right? There has been smash maintenances before without the game being patched/dlc no?
