There's two possibilities:

  • Sakurai already made a decision from the ballot
  • Sakurai waited until the ballot is over to decide

My friend really wants Sora to be a DLC fighter.

I do tell him that it really depends if Square wants to play nice with Nintendo.

Well, Square seems to be putting their eggs in Sony's basket for the KH series, but that didn't stop Snake.

I think the bigger issue would be the fact that KH is associated with Disney, and that's a mess right there.

Yeah, Disney owns the rights to everything besides the Final Fantasy and The World Ends With You cameos in Kingdom Hearts, and moreover they're an extremely domineering partner in any collaborative work they are a part of. Besides that, there's reason to think Nintendo's still sore over how they handled the movie rights to Super Mario Bros.- There's a reason Nintendo Land is gonna be at Universal Orlando.

I sure said that!

I don't think this really warrants being put in the leak thread but I'll spoiler it here just to be safe. (It's not a leak or anything about a specific character, just a possible thing they found while datamining)

Apparently while datamining the new patch, people found out that there are three character slots programmed into the game, and either two or three stage slots. Might be an indication of the ballot DLC stuff. I've heard some interesting theories that we're getting ballot winners from North America, Europe, and Japan instead of just a worldwide winner but we'll see.

Wow, the results are announced tomorrow?

It never stops surprising me how time, like... passes.

So, we only get 3 characters from the ballot?

There's no indication that anything will be announcing tomorrow, October 3rd is just when the ballot ends and there will be no more voting.

As for the other thing, Weren't there still two unfilled "slots" from the last time they were added in addition to these three new ones?

That would make sense. Three regional winners and two global winners, meaning 5 total DLC characters

Wolf should still be a lock, so that just leaves room for 2-4 ballot winners/anyone else who was getting in without the ballot.

that's only if they don't add in more character slots, though.

I hope we have five more downloadable characters left, if only because it'll raise the total roster count to a perfect 60.

(Anxious anticipation intensifies) Now I'm definitely expecting Wolf and K Rool, but after that, I really don't know who else could get in.

Something to note, electrical attacks are the ones who got the most safe in this patch.

This means Robin and Pikachu are probably the biggest winners in this patch, followed by ZSS whose N-Air is basically the safest in the game.

Has there been speculation on how significantly this shieldstun increase will change the approach competitive players take to the game?

You can't sit in shield for too long now, so mobility and spacing become more crucial than ever in this patch.

This does hurt the heavy characters a lot because they relied on shielding in order to get in on other characters, so Dedede, Ganondorf, Charizard and Bowser are likely among the characters hurt by this patch.

It also means shieldgrabbing is not as potent as before since many attacks are now safer, so characters that rely a lot on their grabs like Luigi and Ness are probably hurt by this change as well.

So... Yeah, it's hard to tell where the meta is gonna head to now. I guess with less reason to stay in shield maybe the meta will become more aggressive?

I mean, if there are characters who deserve to be top tier, the 'Chu is probably among them.

That does sound like the most reasonable conclusion, yes.

Amazing how one little tweak can bring such a big wave of changes. I bet the guy who found this out was giddy over the anticipation of seeing where the whole thing would go.

The characters most likely to be top right now are Sheik, ZSS and Sonic.

Spindash with increased shieldstun is going to be a sight.

Didn't you also mention that almost all of Ryu's attacks are stupidly safe now?
