So is Street Fighter now the least represented series in Smash Bros?

[Uzumaki Goku]

With Sephiroth being added to Smash and 4 different Mii costumes (Aerith, Tifa, Barrett, Chocobo) and spirits at long last along with now 11 music tracks, Final Fantasy (or at least VII) feels properly represented. (Just lacking an assist trophy... which I think Aerith would've been perfect for)

But yeah Street Fighter, let's see we got Ryu, Ken as an echo. Guile as an assist trophy and a couple of spirits. (Mostly SF2 spirits IIRC) No Mii costumes. (I mean Chun-Li, Guile and E. Honda would be perfect as brawlers)

Maybe I'm misremembering, but what do you think of Street Fighter's representation in Smash?

Edit: I was misremembering things.

 

[Noppie]

Wii Fit?

 

[Imran]

The series has two characters while many other series only have one...?

 

[Servbot24]

Wouldn't ROB or something like that be least represented?

He's in the retro category I'm not sure they counts.

 

[EddyZacianLand]

What about Sonic the hedgehog??

 

[Deleted member 1102]

I have the perfect third character in mind

Spoiler

 

[TheMoon]

I think you haven't looked at a list of Smash characters before you made this post about who's in Smash.

 

[L Thammy]

Have we now reached the point where we're so focused on third parties that we don't even remember that Smash Bros has Nintendo characters in it?

 

[The_Strokes]

Bayonetta has one character

 

[Regulus Tera]

World of Light has a subsection specifically dedicated to Street Fighter II

 

[Agamon]

I'd pick one of the series with no characters in Smash as least represented, honestly.

 

[AustarusIV]

Pretty sure it's Pac-Man that's the least represented (at least for all the third party franchises). All he has coming with him are classic Namco arcade games.

 

[Layell]

Someone needs to make some sliding point scale because SF at least has a ton of tracks, and spirits, plus Ryu and Ken, the least echoey echo.

 

[mopinks]

it's not even in the bottom ten

 

[alphacat]

It has two characters, an AT and spirits as well. It's represented just fine.

 

[Josh5890]

I'd argue the following has less

-Ice Climbers
-Pac Man
-Wii Fit
-Persona

And that is without really looking

 

[Border]

Pac-Man

 

[Stopdoor]

World of Light has a subsection specifically dedicated to Street Fighter II

Yeah, notwithstanding the series' with a single character, this is also a pretty obviously missed point.

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Actually I am mistaken.

It's PAC-Man that has the least representation.

 

[Lord Vatek]

Not even close.

 

[shoptroll]

F-Zero only has one playable character if I'm not mistaken

 

[L Thammy]

Battle Clash is the least represented series in Smash Bros, a point that fans have been harping on about for years.

 

[jediyoshi]

I feel like I'm missing something about the OP that'd make it make sense.

 

[TheDinoman]

What do you mean? Street Fighter has plenty of represention in Smash.

2 fighters
a stage
an assist trophy
38 music tracks
27 spirits
and an entire segment in World of Light

Only problem is that mode of it is almost entirely based around SF2 with not much love for the other games, but it still has a lot.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I don't understand

 

[hiredhand]

Street Fighter doesn't have too little representation. FF VII has too much.

 

[Deleted member 59109]

Yeah this

 

[PettySpirit]

I think that'd be F-Zero, honestly.

 

[Neoxon]

It has two characters, so no. That said, its music library leaves much to be desired due to Smash's laser-focus on SFII. Likewise, there are some glaring omissions regarding SF's spirits (Ex: Alex, Urien, Gill, Dudley, Makoto, Crimson Viper, Seth, Rashid, Menat, G, Zeku, etc.).

 

[Garlador]

I will admit, while I don't want Street Fighter to have more representation, the importance of Chun-li as the first lady of fighting games can't be overstated, and I'd be thrilled if she were able to get in there as a playable fighter.

 

[Deleted member 70647]

Sonic. He has a lame moveset and only ever got one remix (which is all the way back from brawl). He deserves better

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Yeah this

I'm amazed Ms. Pac-Man isn't a spirit.

 

[DeadeyeNull]

I would've thought bayonetta had the least, but I don't know all the numbers of the type of my head. 1 character and 1 stage 1 assist trophy, but maybe it has more music and spirits then I remember.
There also isn't an official scoring system for representation. Like character > spirit in terms of how much representation it gets.

 

[KartuneDX]

Two characters, a number of tracks and cameo ATs?

I guess you beat me to it, so this.

 

[Iori Loco]

Baten Kaitos has a single song as representation. I don't remember if there's even one spirit from the series.

 

[CyberWolfBia]

If we're talking about 3rd Party franchises... Pac-Man has minuscule content, because they decided to represent NAMCO Arcade titles instead;

drives me insane

 

[samred]

Picross is the worst-represented game series in Smash Bros, in terms of existing on nearly every Nintendo console and being first-party. No trophies in past games, no stages, no assist trophies. It doesn't exist.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Edit: I was misremembering things.

Maybe you should ask us in Smash DLC thread before you make a new thread and we wouldn't have problem to correct you or help you out on that.

Also you forget that Street Fighter have their own location in World of Light mode as well. It would be funny if we got Chun Li in Fighter Pass 2 which would make this take even worse than it would be.

Edited: Also you should have add third party to your thread title to be specific with what you were saying. Since few Nintendo franchises had it worst than Street Fighter, like Rob which have no home stage at all.

 

[WestEgg]

I'm amazed Ms. Pac-Man isn't a spirit.

I'm pretty sure she is flat-out owned by Bandai Namco, but I do wonder if there's some legal complications we don't know about with Ms. Pac-Man. She was an unofficial mod character that was officially licensed by Midway rather than Namco themselves. The game is still released so I assume the legal back end was taken care of in the years since, but it makes me wonder if Bandai Namco just doesn't like acknowledging Ms. Pac-Man if they can help it.

 

[Laser Ramon]

Okay maybe not Street Fighter, but what about Legend of Zelda

she is in the Pac-Land stage; but nowadays there's the whole AtGames debacle going on; Ms. Pac-Man is sadly cursed with this kind of stuff

 

[Neverx]

This has to be a joke right? Street Fighter doesn't need anything else. Third party wise Sonic should 100% have more content (It's a crime Eggman isn't in the game), first party deserves more Xenoblade content.

 

[808s & Villainy]

Did this need a thread when you could've just looked at the roster on the website and seen this wasn't the case?

Honestly it's pretty fucking awful how much Pokemon Black and White specifically has gotten ignored over the years.

Click to shrink...

My fairly unpopular opinion, despite being a huge Zelda fan, is that Zelda has pretty good representation in terms of stages, music, and especially items, and that people focus too much on roster numbers alone when looking at series representation. Whereas Fire Emblem has a wide and changing cast, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf can much more comfortably stand in for any of their iterations over the series. I don't like playing number-wang with the roster, because roster representation shouldn't be the end all be all metric of how important a series is.

 

[Hours Left]

It's R.O.B., unfortunately.

He doesn't even have a stage. Justice for R.O.B.!

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

After looking up the four Nintendo Wars spirits in Smash, I couldn't help but smile wrly.
