Feel free to namedrop me if you want. :)
I do hope you get at least one rep you'll be happy with, though. I've wanted Takamaru since Smash 4 but that dream died early this time...

Obviously considering we've gotten Daisy and K Rool.
But that shouldn't really matter, Smash has never been about adding only the biggest names, since 64 they've been throwing in characters from relatively unknown series like Earthbound. I don't expect half the roster to be niche characters or anything, I'm just hoping that putting a spotlight on a few smaller nintendo series each game hasn't been abandoned with this entry. It's one the most unique things about smash, being able to see smaller series like Mother or Xenoblade (at the time of Shulk being added, anyway) appear in a crossover when they would normally never have the chance to do so.
Eeyup, Minecraft was super popular before it became popular. I found out about it during the alpha because it had gotten so much praise online.
Cool point about Xenoblade is that it's now a bigger series. No idea if they would get this far without the brand recognition from Smash.
Series like it and FE were helped by Smash a lot. So even going by the "money route", it makes sense for Nintendo to promote their smaller stuff and improve their brands. I wish series like Custom Robo or Advance Wars had reps in previous games, it's not 100% sure they would be alive, but it would improve their chances well.
I actually still read 2011-2013 chatlogs of my minecraft adventures w/ friends. Good old days
Shame the new chatlog system splits everything by day by day basis, now its harder to read chatlogs :(
I actually prefer Smash without any 3rd party characters whatsoever. Now that the floodgates have opened though, I just think that the Minecraft would be a way bigger deal than Cloud, Snake, Simon, MegaMan, etc, (not Ryu, Sonic, Pacman though), and he would make sense considering how much Minecraft support Nintendo consoles have gotten.
Still though, I'd like the majority to still be Nintendo characters.
Octolings, Pearl/Marina, Rex/Pyra, Isaac, Wonder Red, Spring Man, Elma, Incineroar, Tom Nook, Hades, would all be perfect! I don't mind Kirby getting another character (after all, I do have Kid Icarus getting another one, and that's way more niche), but I'd prefer anyone else over the Bandana guy.
Nintendo alone has so many characters they can still add, and each of them would feel totally valid.

Remember, echos do count, this is the base game and you are allowed to either switch teams or opt out (until a leak or direct comes, more than the ken leak will count) e.g incineroar.
If any of these update post is after your post and I did not Include you or I put you in the wrong team, then please PM to add you in (same goes for if you want to opt out or anything like that).
Thanks for holding down the fort IntelliHeath ! (although I might just give you full power to lock the bets since I am starting university tomorrow so I wouldn't be active here that often)

re: minecraft, nerds hate when something becomes mainstream.
I believe Shulk's inclusion in Smash helped the Xenoblade series greatly. The series is probably big enough now for Shulk or Rex to appear in a project x zone type crossover.

I think a character from a new franchise is always more fun to see than a new character from an existing franchise, but it's harder for me to make the case for one-off guys like Wonder Red
there are too many hard working recurring C-listers in line ahead of him

I mean, I never have Wonder Red in my most wanted. I still would be pretty happy with him tho!
Lip and Ayumi are my impossible dream picks that will never ever happen.
I really doubt that the entire Xenoblade series didn't get anything new between Smash 4 and Ultimate, with two new games released in that span. Maybe not a character, but a new stage perhaps.
I really hope we don't get any Xenoblade music on Wednesday, lol.

I don't care much if third parties get in either though I do agree with those that believe there's still a lot to get out of unrepped Nintendo series
Yeah, for sure. There needs to be a balance. Just feels weird for me to be upset at say, Simon Belmont when I'd say he's a more iconic Nintendo character than any unrepped Nintendo series. I think it's more complicated in cases like Cloud, where the character isn't an iconic Nintendo character. As long as they are rare though I'm ok with it.
Define nobody though. Cause Daisy is more well known than a good portion of the roster.
Sakurai said this game was Ultimate. But...
AYI YI WHERE'S MY SAMURAI
;___;
At least we should still have his costume for Miis, r-right?
You think THAT'S low poly? Check out Sonic's new echo fighter: Low-Poly Shadow, from Sonic Chronicles!screw geno, we're getting low-poly noctis into smash
This isn't even close to being the worst model from that game.

i'm wheezing it looks like a minecraft skin
This looks like paper craftYou think THAT'S low poly? Check out Sonic's new echo fighter: Low-Poly Shadow, from Sonic Chronicles!

I got big into papercraft when I was young.
Not yet.
That's a weird situation. I would've thought it would be announced now if it was a early 2019 game like Bayonetta 1+2 was this year... but evidently not. I still believe it's happening, but not right now.
Well, Bayonetta 1+2 was announced in December and released in February. News for the Wonderful 101 port could probably drop any time.
Wasn't said that the W101 thing was PG trying to show Nintendo there was interest for a W101 port or something like that? We do know Platinum really wants to port it, what's hard to know is if Nintendo cares about letting them do it considering how much the game bombed.
Because W101 doesn't have a character and Xenoblade does.
And Elma and Rex are both boring compared to the actual good characters that have no chance like Nia or Jin.
I would give W101 another shot in switch. I quit the original immediately because of the gamepad segments.
My only hope for the W101 is that they will actually represent the replacement of the polygon fighters or whatever incarnation of them in 100-man battle. I personally feel that would be a way more meaningful way of representing them than pushing them into some weird multi-character and would also make 100-man brawl a ton more fun and interesting, especially if they give the meaningful W101 characters one or two unique moves representing their gimmick.
I reckon Waluigi will struggle to get a spot next time too - he's still got to compete with Captain Toad and Paper Mario (assuming neither make it in this time). It's kind of a 50/50 shot for him.
It's there to keep blank spaces on both sides, rather than leaving one with 0 and another one with three. It's also probably why they're doing this weird jumping around between numbers rather than just following the website order.
I'd say his chances are zero for as long as he doesn't set foot in a mainline Mario/Wario game or a major game of his own.
The thing with Waluigi is that he's still a relative nobody because he's yet to star in any mainline game whatsoever. At least Daisy had Super Mario Land going for her in that regard.
Sure he's popular with some fans, and that might push him over like could happen with Geno, but in terms of actual Mario/Wario relevance he's less important than Lubba
(personally I'll be rooting for Pauline next time around, just give her some fun Mario Vs. Donkey Kong + music related moves or something)

I think Xenoblade was on it's way already with Project Rainfall and Xenoblade X was being pushed as a major Wii U title pretty much as soon as they had something ready to show. Xenoblade X was revealed even before it had a name
Why ? Bayo 1 & 2 were a Game Awards reveal, in december, 2 months prior to release.
Yeah it was being made, but the games selling as well as they did is what was surprising and probably the branding got a lot of exposition because of Smash. The numbers we have for X are pretty good for a Wii U game (even more considering the system was basically dead at that point and RPGs are very niche). Xenoblade 2 doing 1.4M is crazy high as well.
Well he has one thing in his favour - the Internet meme machine.
Fighting ____ Teams are always based on existing fighters, so this isn't happening.
But how many of those characters would have been relevant as of Late 2015?
I wouldn't assume so, since popularity got K. Rool in before Dixie. Seems like it would be a similar case with Waluigi.
Well then, you're going to be really upset when they reveal Dixie as newcomer alongside Funky as a DK echo in the next direct.
I mean, K. Rool was the main villain and final boss of several high profile DK games. Yes, he's been absent from his series for awhile, and yes, the ballot influenced his inclusion, but nonetheless he still had far, far more credentials to be playable in Smash than Waluigi ever did.
the only way to make this worth it is to slap a "BRAND NEW FUNKY MODE" sticker on the box art that takes like half of the place
Regardless of boring
anyways very few bought wonderful 101 worldwide, I think we'll see em as trophies or assist trophies if Sakurai loved the game
