They're saving him for an expanded playable role
Sakurai has just gotta get all the endings in Shadow the Hedgehog done and we'll be looking at our next Sega rep
He'll be like Sonic where most of his moves do the same thing, as in he uses a gun in all of his moves

Yeah, I'm at the point where 6 possible characters are pretty tough to predicts. It might be obvious that not all 6 characters would be definitely superstars like Sonic, Cloud, Hero and Ryu. Also full third party characters aren't even guaranteed as well.
I feel like except for maybe Spring Man, if Sakurai ever wanted them to be playable he'd have done so already
Alucard and Zero are two of the few times I'd be alright with a third party in Smash getting a second character.
I'm certainly not going to assume any character who is already in the game (spirit, AT, or otherwise) is getting upgraded until it actually happens.
Alucard, Zero and Raiden are the three third party characters I feel like could be a second unique third party fighter
I'd add Chun-Li (you said 2nd unique, not just 2nd) and Dr. Eggman imo.
Same
I feel like Chun-Li would get first dibs for a second unique character for a third party franchise over Zero.
Oh yea, I'd also probably say the Persona 6 protagonist as well, assuming that's announced by the next Smash
Counter argument, I despise the idea of Street Fighter getting another character with every fiber of my being.
Add Sephiroth the Hedgehog Sakurai
Trying to use that faker instead of repping the real one smh
I mean, she is the First Lady of Fighting Games, after all.

Chun-Li is about the only fighting game character I'd accept at this point and even then, she's still very low on the list.
And that's great.
Still hate the idea. There's nothing more boring to me then fighting game characters in crossover fighters and there's nothing about Chun-li's moveset that interests me and I'm not attached to her as a character.
Alucard, Zero, and Raiden are all characters I love from games I love, so yes in this hypothetical scenario I'd absolutely include them first. Frankly I wouldn't put Chun-li in period if it was up to me. If I wanted a female fighter I'd go for 2B or Lara or something.
What'cha got against a second Final Fantasy character? (Beyond Square's bullshit, obviously.)
Nothing. I just think the two I mentioned are a bigger deal.
Only reason I don't directly support Chunners is because I'd rather have Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright, or Dante. And in terms of new fighting game characters, I'd rather have Sol or Nightmare.
But if we had to get another Street Fighter, then I can't think of a better choice.

The thing with Majima is that narratively they run out of steam for him eventually, compared to Kiryu who has a constant sense of development. Majima mostly gets his in 0 and a bit of 4/5, in the others he comes across as the Joker/Kefka archetype (though I've yet to finish 1, 2 and 6) which is fun but not exactly interesting IMO.
Haruka is honestly the best character in the entire franchise and she'd be the perfect Assist Trophy in Smash 6 (but should be the Maya to Kiryu's MvC3 Phoenix Wright)
Eggman would be totally let down by the natural gameplay of Smash.
Like you could come up with a moveset for him but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as it could be.
Final Fantasy should definitely be first in line for a better rep. I would pull for a XIV character if I felt it was in anyway possible.

It's Knuckles who?
This thread struggles to come to terms with the idea of one Haruka being in Smash, let alone two!
Majima is very much a secondary character for most of the series. In Yakuza 1, he plays such a small part in the main story that the remake added the "Majima Everywhere" system just to give him more reason to be in the game. He has more story in Yakuza 2, with a short, separate sidestory in YK2 that serves as a direct sequel to his storyline from 0.
As for Yakuza 6, Majima is barely in the game at all.
Eggman never having a prominent role in Smash is honestly super weird considering how Sonic's been in 3 Smash games now, two of which prominently featured boss battles. I get why time constraints would mess with Brawl's timing but Eggman is an enormously popular villain and he wasn't even an Assist Trophy at minimum.
It's Knuckles, the bloat thrower
Independent flower, Magical Emerald holder
I'll give you the coldest shoulder
My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner
I was born by myself, I don't need a posse
I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved
You're not wrong there. In the case of Eggman, you could also make an argument for Tails or Knuckles as far as unique newcomers go for Sonic. But of the three, I'd choose Eggman.
But at least with Smash, there's something interesting about translating her moveset. And given Chun-Li's standing in the industry, she'd be a slam-dunk inclusion despite Street Fighter having a unique newcomer & an echo.
Actually, now that you mention it, Chun-Li could have a legit shot at getting in if Street Fighter VI is indeed coming early next year (as a promotional pick of sorts on Capcom's part, if they think that way). There's a reason why she's had perfect attendance throughout the Versus series (alongside Ryu).
I hate the cheesy low % flowchart combos in Ultimate so much lol. Its largely due to DI being gutted in 4 and the same system being in place.
The best Wario echo
SHE'S IN
I know it's Haruko
The best Wario echo
From an outside observer looking in I was surprised to find out when I got more into the games how few times Majima was playable.
Look if she gets in I'll be happy for you but I'd sooner get Fortnite person.
*Plays saxophone
Only reason I'm going with Eggman is because he's just as old as Sonic and he'd offer a widely more unique gameplay style than any other character.
Chun-Li would be boring because she'd just be another fighting game character translated to Smash in nearly a 1:1 way.
No new ideas that Ryu, Ken and Terry haven't already did

The biggest tell of how much of the Yakuza series someone has played is how much importance they put on Majima.
I mean it's still a game that already has two characters getting another one when several other beloved franchises don't have any. Like sure it's great for fans of that franchise but it's super frustrating for everyone else.
A FFXIV port to Switch announcement alongside confirmation of Y'shtola in Smash would make me so happy. She's probably my second fave FF character at this point.
ideally would have her Heavensward and Shadowbringers outfits with the staff, the original one with a twig wouldn't reaaally work.
I'd be fine with a lot of FFXIV characters, though.
This is why the next fighting game character should be from Guilty Gear.
As an aside, part of me wished that they would allow for Persona 5 Strikers to unlock P5R & P5S music for Smash Ultimate (obviously you can obtain it by other means if you don't want to get P5S).
As someone who has never played a Guilty Gear game what gimmicks could they have in Smash?
That's the exciting part to me, at least lol. I made a whole thread about the subject
I love seeing characters from one fighting game franchise being a guest in another series, so you can see how they'd translate within new mechanics, being developed by a different studio, be in a new artstyle, etc
