Bk1234 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 So I'm on the fence about whether Geno still has a chance since he is a spirit. However, do you think that they could have thought that far ahead about characters for FP Vol. 2 when adding spirits? Another odd omission is Porky, but I feel he would've been added in FP 1 if they purposely chose to omit his spirit. My general reception is that spirits added after the base game (spirit events) do deconfirm fighters. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I think that launch spirits deconfirm fighters for Fighter Pass 1, but not necessarily FP2 (which wasn't even planned at launch), while post launch event spirits deconfirm them entirely.

Etrurian emperor Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I really so no reason to assume that they should. If a character already having a spirit is such a problem then just giving them a second spirit would be enough to quell that concern. Lots of characters already have multiple spirits.

Bk1234 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) @Etheus I agree. I don't think they could have planned ahead this far. Maybe Geno has a chance then...? Edited February 23, 2020 by Bk1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I would say that they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jill Valentine ever got in, they could just use another piece of artwork for their Fighter Spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yexin Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 100% agree with what @Etheus said, although i don't know how they could handle a fighter from Pass 2 who already had a spirit since the game launch they could pull a Cloud/Robin and give that character his/her render/s as spirits, but i don't know how well that would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1234 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 @Perkilator I don't know about Jill Valentine. I feel that since she was added as part of a spirit event DURING FP 1, where they would be aware of the fighters for FP 2, then she is unfortunately deconfirmed.

Armagon Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 No because if we could have Lucas and Mewtwo as trophies and DLC fighters in the previous games, there's no reason to assume that Spirits deconfirm characters. Same goes for Mii Costumes. I think it's really just Assist Trophies that are the hard deconfirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also spirit renames aren't new. Iirc, when Byleth dropped, the ALBW Hilda spirit had "(The Legend of Zelda)" added to her name while 3H Hilda had "(Fire Emblem)" to differentiate between the two. Just because it's dumb doesn't mean it's not a valid solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's dumb doesn't mean it's not a valid solution. well that's possible, but only if that character has 2 different official artwork available; i doubt they'd make a new one from scratch that name change made sense because they were two completely different characters, so it only made sense to specify their respective origin game i don't know if a fighter with two different spirits, one equippable and one non-equippable, would still make sense but hey, we don't necessarily have to agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Marth 64 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I would say no because like in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, there was a ingame trophy of Mewtwo and Lucas before they were announced and they were back as DLC. I don't think the ingame spirits would deconfirmed any newcomers won't make it as DLC Fighters, it be more of the DLC event spirits (the ones that are released after the launch) definitely deconfirmed them making it to Ultimate.

Lord_Brand Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I want to believe no, for Shantae's sake. They can always rename Spirits, like Armagon's example of the two Hildas. So, the current Shantae spirit becomes Shantae (Half-Genie Hero). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
