We got Mega Man before Sakurai touched other Capcom franchises.

He's also fully aware of how desired Banjo is and the roster so far has shifted to fan favorites. Not to mention Banjo's inherent connection to Nintendo would make him king in that regard.

Sakurai does like to have Smash celebrate Gaming history but it will go for the Nintendo centric characters first. Besides I think Steve would be a better DLC candidate

The only reason I feel Banjo would be better as DLC is that more of the "older" crowd would spend more money on DLC than, say, younger kids who want Minecraft. But at the same time, it isn't like they aren't used to digital distribution.

I want both, and I think both have merit in terms of being on the roster. As for Mega Man, he was the first Capcom character I personally encountered (outside of Arthur) back on the NES, and made the most sense as their main rep. Ryu, of course, also made a lot of sense, and showed up next.

Doom would be an awesome addition.

One of the first shooters, awesome arsenal, incredible soundtrack as of DOOM 2016.

Now that's a character that add something to Smash

Yup, he would be a perfect fit for smash. Including him might even open up the door for a W101 switch port actually selling decently.

I've never played Wonderful 101 outside of the demo, but I think Wonder Red has a lot of moveset potential and he'd be a great addition.

I'd also like Viewtiful Joe, I think aesthetically he looks cooler than WR, but I don't see that happening at all.

They could give Doomguy some really savage looking attacks that get obscured by hellfire effects or something.

I just can't see sakurai working in doomguy. Bayo works because her guns are fantastical. Doom is literally all about the extreme violence.

Banjo would be the first franchise Microsoft franchise a lot of Nintendo fans are attached to. Kind like how he wasn't a Microsoft franchise to begin with

This is what the shotgun looks like in the newest Doom
latest


It's just a space age generic gun, it doesn't really look like a real life firearm.

I love Doomguy but they'd have to take away the signature shotgun cause it's too realistic and they would have to take away the gore completely. Completely goes against the character and I don't think Sakurai would be down for that

My unrealistic, impossible FPS protagonist dream will always be Master Chief. Gore and realistic weapons are not needed and the whole MS thing would make it even crazier

They have the signature Doom double barrel shotgun in the game too. It's called the Super Shotgun

Doomguy has a lot going for him as a character

One of the first shooters and massively influential in the games industry
Iconic design
Great soundtrack and aesthetic,
Some Nintendo history (Doom 64 was a thing, also the newer games got ported to the Switch)

The worst thing he has agaisnt him is that hes very western focused
Also by taking the green space marine niche he makes master chief even more impossible, and thats bad.

I would probably say that there are many more Nintendo fans who identify with Minecraft over Banjo these days. The reach of that game is beyond most others, and it represents the newer, younger generation of fans well. Banjo is more of a hardcore retro pick, which is fine by me.

Doomslayer wouldn't be any more violent than Ridley.

This is going to be a gane where Ridley will scrape Isabelle across the stage

Christ. I don't think that level of unhinged enthusiasm represents the reaction as a whole (and I like Isabelle just fine).

Anyway, I think Steve would be a lame addition, personally. I completely missed the Minecraft phenomenon. Zero connection. I'd raise an eyebrow like I did for Bayonetta.

There's plenty of younger kids who love the series. My nephew is all about Minecraft still but also loves playing Smash. He'd want to play as Minecraft for sure.

So I expect the character to be somewhat boring to play as.

Yeah, Viewtiful Joe would be awesome too, but he's third party and hasn't had a game in years, so I don't even consider him a possibility. Wonder-Red on the other hand I'll keep being hopeful for, even if his chances are very slim.

Wonder Red should never be in this Smash game. Maybe his game can sell some copies before he steps to the Smash front door.

So far if the 108 is real we've come to a somewhat consensus on 3 of them.

-Minecraft stage
-Alola stage
-Yoshi's Crafted World

Im going to assume Imran is right and there is a Bandai rep and a Square rep left
- Minecraft stage
- Bandai rep stage
- Square rep stage
- Blank
- Blank

If Elma is in then we got a Xeno X stage and Alola if Incenroar is in.

Also the MH Ancestral Steppe is probably a stage.
