I think we can all agree a second pass of first party characters is sorely needed.

1. Egad & Gooigi
2. Twintelle / Min Min / Mechanica
3. Octolings
4. Urbosa / BotW Zelda
5. Captain Toad

Chibi Link? Tetra?

At this point my biggest wants have been taken care of, so I'm okay with anything (... well, as long they're videogame characters)

I think Doom Guy would be about the last "oh shit, really? He's in?" character that I'd like that they could add.
Other than that, any other old school NES era third party franchise I'd find cool, like Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Twinbee or Bubble Bobble. Or anything else that was also released on the NES/SNES classic basically, lol. No way that'll happen tho, I feel they're too smalltime to be eligible for this DLC round.

Rayman would be a nice western rep that would fit in and probably be fun to play.

I also want Master Chief in, simply because of how insane that would be.

Londinium
Lara Croft and master chief

Not only cos they are great characters worthy of the Hall of Fame status smash offers, but also to mark their series respective launches on switch

(Yeah it's a stealth port beg don't do me like that mods)

1. The Elite Beat Agents (Agent J primarily with alt costumes that swap him out for Spin, Chieftan, Commander Khan, and the Elite Beat Divas; stage that includes Rhythm Heaven music as well since EBA only has a handful of original tracks)

2. Guzma & Golisopod (Golisopod does most of the fighting while Guzma squats in the background and gives orders/performs taunts; Shady House/Po Town Manor stage with tons of Team Skull Grunts milling about in the background and tracks like Guzma's theme, Ultra Necrozma's theme, and the Aether Foundation battle theme)

I'm not so sure. Personally I think Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden is very eligible, but I respect your opinion. :)

Well, he's got the 2000's trilogy of games going for him too, so I do feel he's got more of a shot than those I mentioned, yeah.

Would Smash fans accept another sword user tho?? ;)

The Stussining
My barrel of hype is pretty much empty. Everyone I could want is in haha. I think Travis Touchdown is the only one left that would get a rise out of me.

United Kingdom
Rayman
Cuphead
Knights from castle crashers (as the alts can be the diff powers)
Crash
Chefs from over cooked (again alt heads)

I imagine they will tie to upcoming or recent games for q3.

Dr Eggman

Seeing how Dr Wily got an assist trophy and Dr Eggman got nothing but a stinking sticker is a travesty

Klonoa, the other platforming mascot who needs a triumphant return will be in Smash, I can feel it.

THIS GUY GETS IT.

As for the the other character....I dream of Klonoa, but he's never making it.

Don't give up hope!

You need to hang on to it now so it can be shattered into a million tiny pieces when the 5th challenger is revealed... to not be him. :P

:(

Hmm, good point.

We need at least two more, just so Sakurai can really spite us. ;)

Because Cloud Strife and Snake sure were "strongly associated with Nintendo".
I don't think they belong in Smash either, but here we are.

They've been going in the direction of third party reps being general gaming icons for a while. It's exciting to me that someone like Master Chief isn't that far-fetched.
I wouldn't say that. Cloud/Snake/Joker are the exceptions, not the rule. Most added fighters have been highly Nintendo-associated.

And I think it'd be insulting to the Xbox community to have Master Chief, their icon, appear in a Nintendo exclusive that they can't play. Same goes for Crash. It's blatant disrespect to the communities associated with those characters.

Master Chief, if only for the reveal;
and Monster Hunter

For pipe dreams I would like the Knight or Hornet,
and a Rhythm Heaven rep.

They gotta end it with something that's a bigger deal than Banjo, right? Goku has to be that choice.
