How would they do Skyrim justice though, since Smash is a game with a competent art team and great combat?
After Joker was announced, there was a leak of Erdrick, Doomguy, Ryu, and Steve, and for some reason people think it must be right since no one could have predicted that the original JRPG which has sold 70 million units and has been on Nintendo consoles since the NES would have its most recognizable hero added.I thought this was just about Erdrick and now there's talk about Doom Slyer, Ryu (Hayabusa?) and Minecraft Steve?
Sounds completely reasonable, but I still don't want Dragonborn because we'd just get Nord Warrior Dude with Sword & Shield, just like all the promo materials.
Probably.
Strikes me almost like a Namco Heihachi/Pac-man situation. IIRC Namco wanted Heihachi in to rep Tekken but Nintendo wanted Pac-Man. If they were dealing with Bethesda you'd think Beth would want to push Elder Scrolls more but like Pac-Man, Doomguy has a bigger history and tied closer to Nintendo due to the ties to the SNES and N64 days.
I thought it was Sakurai who wanted Pac-Man? Nintendo making the picks is a pretty recent concept.
I'm having trouble finding the specific mentions, but it wasn't just Sakurai. Miyamoto's gone on record for wanting to see him in the game, at least if I'm remembering right.
Yeah wasn't sure if it was Miyamoto or Sakurai so just went with a vague 'Nintendo' on that.
Those could all be implemented with colors. And the move set could allow for ranged, magic, and swords
I'm not totally sure, but one slight quirk is that to my knowledge Erdrick is the only one that's named. If they're all just called "Hero" that's an easy fix though.
Loto(Erdrich) is kind of an epithet of sorts more than a proper name. The 10th hero does have a name, it's Ann Lucia, but hasn't been translated into English. If she is an option they might not use her name.
To be fair, Monster Hunter also has a viable playable character option with the regular Hunter herself/himself. It doesn't have to be Rathalos.
all this talk about edrick and we're forgetting the most deserving DQ protagonist
Lol I love how these threads always just turn into wishlists after like ten pages.
On that note
I re-iterate that the true Goddess must get in
pls
Just like DQ has a viable playable character option in Erdrick.
I think they mean black by default.
IF the rumor proves to be legitimate, I guess. Ganondorf is from the Gerudo Tribe, & Urbosa is considered to be black by many, so I suppose Ganondorf would technically be the first one. But at the same time, there is some debate over Ganondorf, so perhaps Steve wouldn't be as big of an argument either way.

I always assumed the Gerudos were supposed to evoke Middle Eastern races, Twilight Princess Ganondorf aside.
honestly i kinda want a magic user just so we can see this reborn as a final smash:
King K Rool got away with a Blunderbus and Bayonetta with Scarborough Fair. Doom Slayer can peobably get away with the shotgun provided its the meathook variant we've seen in previews of Doom Eternal.
The former played up the cartoony aspect, while the latter played up the magical aspect (though Scarborough Fair isn't the default, it's Love is Blue).
Meathook shotgun can be played for both its gameplay and ridiculous aspects.
