Even Terra's more "melee" attacks in Dissidia use her magic. She'd be purely a magic user, and not a hybrid like Hero or Robin.

Rule #67 of Fire Emblem games: Advanced classes aren't always canon.

I don't see that gaudy-ass outfit in the CG cutscenes, do you?
No outfit is too gaudy for the one who

ends a centuries-long cycle of inequality borne out of an ancient dragon's delusional attempts to ressurect her dead mother

Don't know if they'll ever create a second unique moveset for a guest franchise, but hey. Fan assumptions.
Barret for Smash

Y'all talk about Fire Emblem a lot. No wonder they put so many of its characters in Smash.

Was at a friends house and got to play the FFVII demo.

I'm so disappointed by the combat. It's just not for me and the music is a letdown so far expect for the title screen prologue. Bummer.

Cloud sounds pretty good. Put that voice in smash. The VA he had before I felt was always pretty bad.

Dissidia only had her use the sword for like one move and her moveset there would almost certainly be used for inspiration.
Joker wasn't based on how the Persona characters work in Persona Arena though, and Megaman in spite of taking one attack is very different from his MvC self.

Cloud is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai so that's probably not gonna happen :P

I updated my predictions one last time, and added sample music!

www.resetera.com

Super Smash Bros Ultimate | Fighters Pass VOL. 2 | Prediction Contest

Fighters: Twintelle (ARMS) Toxtricity (Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield) Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia) Crash (Crash Bandicoot) Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles X) Barista (Rhythm Heaven) Stages (with music samples): Sky Arena (Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3) Wild Area (Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3)...




I'm ready for the Direct!

Hot take:
I hope Square doesn't get any more characters. With how stingy they are with everything for both Dragon Quest and especially Final Fantasy, any additional character from either of these 2 franchises or a new franchise would end up with like 4 songs.

Which is even more incredulous after SNK's "Which of these songs can we use? - Yes." situation.


Capcom has other fighting games, too, but we still got Ken and Ryu.

(And, of course, we already got another SE RPG IP, in Dragon Quest.)

If Ken were a completely unique character, you would have a point, but he's a clone, so I'm not sure that argument stands on solid ground as a comparison to what would be a new unique newcomer.

Most of Kingdom Hearts' music is composed by Yoko Shimomura, right? How are those music rights handled? Since Yoko is already on the long list of Smash composers (and has composed many Nintendo soundtracks before), wouldn't we get a reasonable selection of music if she has control over it?

Just like everything else produced for Kingdom Hearts, the music falls back to Disney rights-wise. The official soundtracks are all under their record label.

But that's the thing, Disney has control over the music, not Yoko.

The one factor that makes Geno preferable to other SE suggestions - his music would be tied to Mario so his stage would automatically have a decent selection. That and if SE doesn't play ball they could just use him as an excuse for Mario + Luigi & Paper Mario arrangements since they're all technically the same series.

If Sakurai had requested 100 tracks, I bet SNK would also have said "OK!".

There's also a few songs from SMRPG that are remixes of Mario music and they could just remix the remixes and attribute it to Mario RPG. Like Mario's house theme (which has been remixed and appears in future Mario games not tied to Square)

The only Western rep that I think has any sort of chance at this point is Crash Bandicoot.

I just can't see them adding a guest character who's entirely obscure in Japan.

Like honestly, sometimes I think the only reason Rayman even appears in Smash at all is because Rayman Legends was actually Wii U exclusive and Nintendo published in Japan. Notice how of Rayman's representation in Smash is based around Legends.

I still choose to believe Rayman isn't in Ultimate entirely because he'd be almost impossible to turn into an amiibo that doesn't look terrible

It's sad because his victory theme would be the best in the entire game

What a complete fucking gyp that would be

Why would they not do new amiibos for the DLC crew when they've been doing it for all the new base game characters and also did amiibo for the DLC characters last game?
I think it's something they would've announced during the Byleth reveal, if they don't announce it during the next direct it's safe to say it's not happening. Maybe the sales weren't as good as expected or they had problems with the licenses for 1 character so they decided to not do any.
