I really hope we get that many songs for Suzaku Castle.
Smash 4 only had SF2 and SSF2 themes of Ryu and Ken (plus two remixes).

But Cloud's stage was even more ridiculous: There were only 2 songs. 2 songs out of the dozens of incredible FF7 tracks.

There are 36 confirmed songs for Suzaku Castle :)

People say Goku is impossible, but that said argument was used against Ridley in For Smash, Villager in Brawl, and Sonic in Melee, but look at the current roster and they're all playable. Anything is possible, if Sakurai will it so.

I find it a bit ungrateful to react to SO MANY characters being confirmed for Smash by asking/speculating about even more characters, but it is kind of exciting.

The problem is that if you stoop to putting Goku in Smash, where do you stop?

Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters in the world, sure he didn't originate from videogames but he's been in loads of games so he's fine too right?

Darth Vader is one of the most iconic villains ever, he's been in loads of games too lets put him in!

What about Batman? Superman? Hello Kitty?

If you think roster discussion are bad when you're only talking about videogame characters (I could think of like 40 unique Nintendo characters to add still), just try opening it up to almost every form of medium as long as it's had a gamee and see how bad it gets.

Dixie will come eventually I reckon. I'd be happy with her being an echo of Diddy. Would prefer a unique character, but echo is possible. I guess it depends on exactly how far the alterations can go with echoes.

Would people honestly be that upset if Goku appearing in the game? You could always you know.. not pick the character you don't like like every other fighting game?

This whole "but but but... it doesn't work with what I think Smash Bros should be" attitude I find really weird. The rulebook is being thrown out the window with every single game.
I think it's a boring choice, so many fighting games of Dragon, Jump and would rather have other characters instead that are underappreciated. Today's choice with Simon, K rool are great choices in that regard. At the very least if they're going to choose someone in Dragonball, at least go with something unexpected like Videl or Satan. So damn tired of hearing Goku all the time. It's not even kid Goku which would at least be a change.

I mean, kind of? No one has really provided solid justification for him instead of like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family

You know out of all thes newcomers, Inklings still look like the coolest and most fun to play.

Inklings: Carry an armory of weapons including guns, bombs, melee, etc, can put opponents in a prolonged weakened state and easily escape the battlefield with a unique ink refill mechanic that forces the player to fight strategically.

K. Rool: Throws a tin crown and deflects attacks with his own fat

Yeah but on the downside you have to play as an inkling

So, they can add a Dragon Ball character and they would not choose the most famous one (who is also famous in popular culture) but less known ones. Ok.

We discussed this in the Discord, but we came to the realisation that Square Enix has the rights to one of the most iconic characters in gaming history, the would be cherry on this Ultimate cake.

That character is the Space Invaders as an assist trophy.

There can be no arguments, there's no one more famous. Not even Haruka is more famous.

Smash is celebration of nintendo most popular characters and anything related to them in some way in the past, not anime.
That's what YOU think it Smash Bros is supposed to be about. It never says that anywhere there are no "rules" or restrictions and frankly Sakurai can put whatever he wants in the game as long as people will enjoy it. I think people are viewing this as "shovelware the game".

I think the more appeal the game has the better. If they want to put Sailor Moon in the game, all the better.

yes that's what i think, i don't want the list to be invaded by anime characters, they can have their own game.

yes to more gaming fighters.

Yes.

They should all be in Smash.

I don't see Sakurai diverting too much from the idea (whether implicit or explicit) that Smash Bros. is about the celebration of video games, not entertainment media in general. And thank god.
