*reads discussion about Up-B fodder*

Me, who wants Tails but feels like I'm not allowed to say that during most newcomer discussions: '(>' ')<

Hey, Smash Flash 2 Tails doesn't even have a recovery Up-B (he's kinda like Jigglypuff, where multiple mid-air jumps and a Side-B that can get some horizontal distance is supposed to make up for it). Maybe Sakurai will get creative like that too!

And of course he felt compelled to post the explanation in English.
The best part is that he only posted the explanation in English; the ravenous western fanbase are the only people who would look that far into nothing.

I want a Sonic stage that isn't Green Hill Zone, so a Tails as a DLC character is something I would welcome with open arms.

Most Obvious up B ever for speculated characters.

We didn't get Mystic Cave in Generations or Mania, so it should come back SOMEWHERE.

I hope The Pit is the major gimmick. Dunk an opponent into the spikes for an instant KO.

On the subject of Mortal Kombat, Scorpion's Up-B would have to be his teleport... The tricky part would be keeping the gimmick of him always coming from behind the opponent. I guess maybe have it only do that if they're within a specific range and otherwise it's a normal teleport?

Honestly I'm kind of glad the Smash fanbase speculated hard enough to tell us what that pic was about. I think getting that small morsel of tech information was worth Smash fans speculating themselves into a dead end again

Sora has tons of Up-B potential, but I can't think of one thing in particular that would work. SSF2 gives him Aerial Recovery, but I'm not sure if Sakurai would do that. He has plenty of aerial uppercut-esque attacks or the ability to glide, but those are also pretty boring.

Saber being higher than Geno gives me life.

No but seriously that discrepancy between Sora and Dante is nuts.

I'm happy to see Rex still have support. However I missed Sora having that much support holy shit. Sora seems particularly popular

Surprised Crash is that high. Thought the remakes didn't sell that well compared to the originals. Also would have bet that Sora's basically their top wanted character now lol.

That would just be another tether. Best they could do to differentiate it is that closer to the stage it's instant and farther away there's a travel time.
But tethers are cool

Reimu may be in thirteenth behind Kirito, but the important part is she's ahead of Geno and Goku.

I'm a little surprised how Geno doesn't seem that popular in Japan. Then again being popular enough to crack Top 15 is kind of surprised in it's own way

Give me Metropolis.
With the "Demon Trio" as hazards. 👀
Just stage hazards? Nah; the stage needs to come with a fighter after all!

(ignore the fighter number; this was made in pre-Byleth days)
Ahhh, don't you just love emotional trauma?

Not gonna lie, Slicer has an awesome design but also being locked onto a spinning screw only to have one smack you off of it before you can react is probably the most infuriating thing that can happen in Sonic 2.

Eh a character being compared to a general silent protag is already pretty bad and at least Joker has some style and fun voicelines. Like this character has the same level of personality as a purposefully modular character is not that great.
The insult to Kirito was being compared to a silent protagonist with no personality.

The insult to Joker was being compared to an adolescent power fantasy from a terrible franchise.

Personally I've started gradually replacing my memory of Kirito with SAO Abridged at this point.

Which thinking on it makes some interesting fodder for how to write Joker in Smash Bros fanfiction if we're following along on the path of this conversation.

Also Joker is voiced by Xander Mobus so he's already better than Kirito for that alone.

Is there something wrong with Bryce Papenbrook? (Asking honestly as I have no idea.)

the only isekai character we need in Smash is Maple from Bofuri

she's the first character without any attacks, her entire playstyle is based around the shield mechanics

Silent protags in JRPGs are generally way better if they're portrayed as fucking weirdos

This is why the P4 protag in the anime is great, this also kinda goes for the English speaking fandom's interpretation of Byleth, unofficially of course.

One of the many reasons the P5 anime sucks ass is that they did absolutely nothing with Joker.

What gets me is that Sword Art Online isn't even a thing anymore as far as I can tell and Kirito is still somehow more popular than fucking Goku.
