Maybe it's a reference for Inkling?

Isn't it a bit late for him to be using Microman figures like that? I thought he did that really early in development of these games.
He does, but we'd have to see the full interview to really know what he's talking about. The figure probably came up naturally during conversation, and we don't know what he means by "recently."
10 more days...!

Stealth, a Twitter user with insider knowledge, doesn't seem to think Sakurai's working directly on Smash Switch.
Agh, January 12th can't come soon enough!

While I'm not sure about Stealth's credibility beyond that one Nintendo Direct leak, Sakurai not being directly involved with the Switch port of Smash 4 could explain why Laura thought its enhancements were "minimal" (which would tie into Source Gaming hearing about only 2 more characters & some 3DS content).

Had the same thought when Laura dropped that. Sakurai must've been dying to move on.
If this is true, I honestly wouldn't mind. After Kid Icarus Uprising, I'm excited to see what Sakurai will do next.

Just curious? Did Stealth ever break any news that were accurate in the past? My only knowledge with him is he was wrong about Splatoon's Inkling being DLC character for Smash Bros.

Sorry about double posts.
It's more likely to be Inkling, or it could be something for Sakurai's future project. I meant rifle as reference, so there are several characters that could need it, like Resident Evil character, Master Chief, Advance Wars, Splatoon's Inkling, etc. With logical of elimination, It's more likely to be Inkling or a new project. Either way.
Well, it's really depend on usage of the term, "RECENT/RECENTLY." We don't really know anything yet but it's possible that they completed everything ahead of their schedule so they probably have enough time to add new contents to the port.
It's plausible that it could be for a brand new project. We basically don't know anything yet.

I definitely think the mech hint's for a new project; even if Sakurai was hands-on, I feel like the animation for the Inklings would be much farther along by this point.
Still surprised it's going to be such a long wait for 2-3 characters, especially since it seems like work started awhile back, and assuming Wolf, Ice Climbers, and Chorus Kids are in there. I can't help but feel they're just about done and are just letting it sit there for months until they need a heavy holiday hitter.

You know there's other things they could of been doing besides adding some characters, right?
For example...adding content over from the 3DS version, giving the DLC characters (and the few new characters they're adding) their own custom moves and their own Palutena Guidances so they don't stick out as much on the base roster, etc.
But that shouldn't take too long, either. Maybe just remodeling some of the 3DS stages/Smash Run enemies, editing a couple of moves, and writing 6 short scenes where Pit comments on how he missed fighting out on Mewtwo & Roy their first-time around and is glad they finally made it in.
Assuming work on the project started when/around they wrapped wrapped with Bayonetta 10 months ago, I'd imagine they'd be close to finishing up by now.

Stealth is full of crap he got lucky/right one time, when literally gamefaqs mocks you for being wrong you dun fucked up.

A bit late since I only check this thread every few weeks but deal!
I am pretty confident in my atleast 8 "new" characters. Unless of course
all rumors are wrong and there is no Smash port/sequel. Then everyone loses. D:
But nonetheless I will 100% take the deal because I can't see there only being 2 or 5 or any low amount.

Just playing with the notion, what if he's right with the fact that Sakurai isn't fully involved with Smash for Switch?

I think you are gravely underestimating how much work goes into a single fighting game character. Once upon a time 8 characters was enough for an entire game's roster.

I mean we know Sakurai has wanted a break from Smash for awhile, that's not really going out on a limb. When you compare what Stealth has said historically as a leak and been correct about its shit that many people were already speculating or guessing, or was so vague that the true parts were surrounded by so much speculation they weren't useful anyways (like when he knew the next smash bros character because he had seen the shovel knight amiibo early and said next smash char would be announced soon). Compare to someone like Ryce and its very clear who actually has good quality info and who doesn't.

I'm not talking about sources or leaks right now so it's getting off the point right now.
I just want to see how people would feel about the scenario with Sakurai currently not working on Smash Bros for Switch?

I think its totally possible, I imagine he might have taken more of an advisory role after he got inkling (or whatever new comer's) moveset in stone.

I'd honestly kill to have Ray 01 in Smash. Loved Custom Robo back on Gamecube. Unfortunately, minor second party developed franchises never really score well in Smash outside of assist trophy/regular trophy cameos, so I wouldn't expect him. Hell, they actually got rid of Ray MK III's AT from Brawl, so they obviously don't give a shit about that franchise, sadly.

The AT cuts in Smash 4 were weird.
Excite Bike? Isaac? Ray? What was the point? Barbara has a trophy, so it's not like they even lacked an updated model for her...
The only cut Assist Trophies should have been Gray Fox and Little Mac (and maybe Resetti)...

They could've repurposed Brawl Little Mac's Assist Trophy data for some other Punch Out character like Mr. Sandman, or make a Ken assist for Ryu's DLC pack.

Or Hitmonchan as a Pokeball. And bring back Hitmonlee which I'm pretty sure they wanted to do because he's a trophy for some reason and it explicitly mentions his Smash 64 appearance.
Also Koffing is in Smash Run, and other than moving around, behaves the same as he did in 64 and they didn't bring him back

I think I know what character Sakurai would need gun pose references for...
I honestly think Sakurai should have really started preparing some apprentices to initially help out with the franchise but eventually take it over when he tires of game design or just in case something happens to him.
I'm not fussed who makes smash as long as it's fun to play :3

I appreciate that someone pointed it out with Laura's leak.
It really resonated with my thoughts about Laura's leaks because I have a strong feeling that she don't really know everything about Nintendo and their projects at the moment but she tried to her best to report everything she heard from the rumors. I'm confident enough to assume that Laura probably used SourceGaming's rumor for her comment, Smash Bros for Switch = minimal contents. If you don't agree with me then feel free to call me out on that. I felt that the timing for SourceGaming's reports and Laura's reports were too coincidence for that to happens. IF Laura actually got a words on Smash Bros for Switch from her own source then I'm fine with that.
Now, It's plausible that source(s) which SourceGaming and Laura got their informations from could have limited knowledge with what's going on with Smash Bros development and probably saw some certain information for the marketing plan for the event or localization for marketing, media or/and websites purpose.
I meant we should learn things about Gematsu leak because we were so sure that those characters that are mentioned in the leaks were going to be in the game. Thankfully Robin trailer surprised most of us and most of us realized that the leak had outdated information since everything could change during the development like Chrom's inclusion. And we figured that the leak list is more likely to not be completed so it wasn't that long until we found out about Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr.. My point is there is a chance he sources (SourceGaming and Laura) might not know everything about Smash Bros development, and went with what they already know.
Laura's source is more likely to come from Nintendo of Europe and Ubisoft, and I have no idea where SourceGaming got their rumors from, but I would like to assume that it's more likely to come from same circle of source. I would feel more confident about the rumors if it came straight from someone in Japan (like Gematsu) because I don't think Nintendo would share everything with non-upper level workers at Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America. They usually send a lot of informations to non-upper level workers when they need them to get translated or used the materials for marketing reasons. Also it's plausible Sakurai was really affected by the leaks and they are trying to lock it down and keep everything in dark this time. According to ex-Nintendo staff, he was really upset about the leaks. I would imagine that he probably would try to find way to avoid the leaks again.
I'm saying that it's okay to stay hopeful for more characters and contents at long you are going to set your expectation to low as possible (like 2 characters and 5 stages) so people wouldn't throw a hissy fit and meltdowns then they didn't get what they want. If we actually got two characters then there would be a good reason for it tho.

There's actually quite a few people saying no new characters.90% of the posts are going to be Smash 4 DLC roster + Ice Climbers and Inkling

Which is ridiculous. If you're making an enhanced port, you kind of need to add the #1 reason people buy your game.

Power to them if they are going to believe that we are not going to get any new characters. If they are right then they are going to get free money or game.

That's me!
And I'm not even confident in Inkling.
I felt they were a SURE thing for DLC and instead we got the worst main character in any Nintendo game I can remember in Mr "GODS NO" Corrin.
