Roger seems to only be telling people in his general circle of friends in both the Smash & the Splatoon communities, so I doubt that it'd get out. With that in mind, I'm surprised that he has yet to tell Josh Thomas or Etika (unless they do know & are keeping their mouths shut).
It seems more like it'd be an early character announcement that would be released later, much like Mewtwo & Lucas.
If Wolf isn't coming back, at least for now, I wonder who they are planning to bring back together with the Inklings (or whoever is the newcomer). We got Ryu with Roy and Lucas and while that definitely doesn't mean we are getting newcomer + two veterans, I think we will likely get at least one veteran back with the next newcomer.
Again, I don't think this character (if we're getting one in the near future) is gonna get released immediately after the reveal. It's just too soon after the last update.
Who is this nobody and why should I trust their specific date?I am the only person in the "hanafuda cards for smash" cheerleading squad =/

From someone who was right a few times
Um, no you can't rule out a character based on rumours and speculation.
She's leaked a number of Splatoon-based info in the past as well as getting the release dates of certain weapons & stages correct. That being said, most of said leaks came from datamining the game.
I'm saying that based on what has been said, the rumored character isn't either Wolf, Shovel Knight, or Shantae. Not only was Wolf explicitly named as not being it, he's definitely not a newcomer. Yes, this is a rumor, but clearly the guys on Twitter aren't referring to him. This is not ruling out Wolf from ever getting in Smash 4 (I'm in the camp that believes that he'll get in eventually), it's ruling out Wolf for this specific rumor.
So you are saying that they put the date they will air a PR promotional video in the game's code base?
I'm saying that we're probably gonna get a dump of Splatoon updates on the 16th. If this pans out, it lines up a little too closely to the ongoing rumor of us finding out who's gonna be next as Smash DLC "very soon".
Yeah, the Direct part is most likely a guess. I was mainly referring to the release dates of certain weapons & stages in Splatoon.
Not once did I say that Wolf won't get in the game eventually. I'm just saying that Wolf isn't the character that Roger & his buddies are referring to.
Like I said earlier, I don't think this character is gonna get released immediately. I think, if we aren't getting trolled, that this will be a Lucas-esque situation. Let's say for argument's sake that Roger & Co. are referring to the Inklings but will also get Wolf & Shovel Knight, the Inklings would be announced this week but aren't released until early November. We probably wouldn't find out about Wolf & Shovel Knight until November in this scenario.
and I know how dubious it is to go by as well. I just remember how many times GAF members would have avatars of shame and stuff.Sean says the release date is this month.
Then it'd probably be at the very end of October to put some distance between it & the September update. And while the character we're supposedly gonna find out soon isn't Shovel Knight, we could also get Shovel Knight in addition to this mystery character since the timing does line up with what Tamaki said.
There was the April 1st Direct.
That would line up with the "not necessarily #1 in the ballot" remark (I'm not sure if it was Roger or Stealth who said it).
Mario Kart 8 session with MKGAF was pretty amazing last night with some new people. Neoxon, you should come back for few sessions. (anyone feel free to join with us)Not until my little brother gets my GamePad back. I have a Captain Falcon Amiibo that I really want to get the costume for.Derp, I misread your comment. That's what I get for being sleep-deprived. I blame it on Mario Kart GAF.
Look at the tweet that Sean responded to. The guy asked about the release date.
Given Roger's supposed connections, him getting a tip on the ballot results wouldn't be surprising.
I am really not a fan of when people dangle information or continually mention that they are "in-the-know" and act like schoolchildren taunting "I know something that yooooou don't!"
Sean Hicks says he's "really damn hyped" about the next character, and this is who he voted for:
The fact that he says it's not a ballot character leads me to believe that it's the Inklings, since they would have been slapped in as an advertisement regardless of their ballot performance. On the other hand, it could be a red herring. Or this could all be bullshit.
