OMG, I wasn't aware of what he did, just googled it. Well, it's a shame that a great videogame character like Earthworm Jim has to be attached to his shitty creator.
More and more people are tapping into the heart of the cards and feeling the hype. The universe is willing Master Chief into existence and those willing to listen can hear the song.
I'll say it one more time:
Dante is Fighter 5
Master Chief is Fighter 6
Both will be announced at the Game Awards.
He'll represent the Fool Arcana better than Joker did, with multiple summons.
Banjo was a character that never even bothered lending my support, that was how much impossible I thought he was. a lost cause, so I'm super happy with him in Smash (and back in action in anything, really). Terry and Piranha Plant are two fighters that I didn't know I wanted, but they are quite fun and they're both characters that at least had affinity or liked them previously (PP).
Hero and Joker does absolute nothing for me, so they're at best neutral inclusions.. but I'm really, really hoping for something that will blow me away (aka someone I truly asked for) as DLC; be the 5th fighter or following seasons

I'm pretty sure Spyro would never be in before Crash. Especially not with how much of a non-entity the series is in Japan.
The lack of any Togashi character is disgusting. Where is Yusuke or Gon?
Disney is involved with TGAs, so I guess that means Sora is confirmed
That's how this works, right?
Crash is happening, Fighter 5 or otherwise, I'm sure
Best case for Spyro is a Spirit, I suppose
In the garbage where they belong ^_^
I don't actually hate HxH or YYH, there were just limited slots
What's the rule on non-video game characters owned by companies that are already involved in Smash?
This is the most garbage take I have ever seen in any Smash thread ever.
Would be great, for sure, but don´t you think Crash image is still somehow linked to the Sony brand?
Not really; .. Sony does the marketing for the recent games, but they're still multiplat. His nostalgia is sure tied to Sony platforms, but that's no different of Joker, Cloud or Snake
You have already proven your taste is not to be trusted, and all your favorites are cancelled from Smash. 😉
I was fairly sure they would have learned from previous instances so I didn't think about it too much, it did of course cross my mind though haha
It gets worse, because much of Earthworm Jim is right-wing allegorical commentary. For example, Professor Monkey with a Brain was a mockery of evolution.
Can you please predict Seth so we can see smash boards debate Seth vs Geno
Oh. Are you doing another prediction video before TGA? After that it would be a little redundant, yeah?
There's no need for a prediction video.
Another PowerPoint presentation will be enough.
Hmm so Elsa will already be in Smash by the next prediction video, but Seth's star will be rising

I mean, is KOS-MOS not also just one of a ton of Xeno characters at this point from the least successful and well received period of the Xeno-verse? KOS-MOS was in three Xenosaga games that sold pretty terribly and together don't even really exceed 2 million copies (which, it's fair to assume are unique players and several of the people who brought previous titles bought the others, so overall even less impact). And KOS-MOS hasn't exactly been a huge bankable crossover star despite making some appearances. She's hidden in Soulcalibur and locked behind hours of bullshit grind in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as her two most notable major appearances, with the Project X Zone and Super Robot Wars crossovers obviously belonging to very niche games as well.
I disagree that they aren't comparable and that it's somehow disingenuous to imply such a reality. They're extremely similar in terms of overall impact and circumstances surrounding their inclusion. KOS-MOS is a niche JRPG deuteragonist owned by a company that they're less associated with and requested by a section of the Smash fandom that is also in between human and artificial. That also describes Geno rather perfectly. They're divergence comes in the fact that KOS-MOS has appeared in more crossovers and gains her popularity there while Geno is more popular within the Smash community thanks in part to Sakurai's interest (a niche portion of it, but he certainly appeals to the same niche that brought Banjo & Kazooie, Ridley, and King K. Rool). They're remarkably similar characters at the end of the day.
I like both, and I'd love to see both get in. And I think if they get in, they get in due to extremely lucky circumstances with the right people pulling for them (Monolith Soft for KOS-MOS and Sakurai himself for Geno). Let's face it, extremely few people would be considering either of them if it were not for those outside parties giving them a greater importance through their own passion for them (Sakurai resurrecting Geno through a Mii costume and KOS-MOS getting to crossover in XC2 thanks to Monolith Soft). I just don't really think that either need to be argued as especially important or notable beyond those reasons. It's fine for characters to just have specific circumstances in their favor.
Will a non mario 90s platformer ever have a game in space?
It is your biggest dream
Ignore that Mario is not from the 90s
And neither is donkey kong
And sonic colors already exists
Let me correct myself on one thing. Geno is a playable character, but he is a Mario spin-off character who has had no further appearances of any meaning outside of that one game.
People remember Mario RPGs, including Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, as Mario games. Geno gets no special exception there. He's a Mario character whose inclusion in anything is made more complicated by the fact that he's owned by Square Enix.
That last factor alone complicates him far more than KOS-MOS. While she is a Bandai Namco character, she has much closer and more relevant ties to a major Nintendo studio in the present day and her presence on Nintendo platforms has a wider and deeper history dating back to Xenosaga 1&2 on the DS.
