Hey remember when Sakurai made Kirby, Meta Knight, and Dedede all major characters in Brawl's story mode and Meta Knight was just broken beyond belief in the game itself.
I honestly don't see the point of a Sakura Wars character if the mech is relegated to the Final Smash.Clearly what we need is an anime samurai who isn't affiliated with Fire Emblem.
Is this... Is this Kanden fanart?
Steve convinced me that Sakurai could make the mech work in a regular moveset but really, she fights the exact same way both in and out of it.I honestly don't see the point of a Sakura Wars character if the mech is relegated to the Final Smash.
They say he lives perpetually on the runWhat's Mr. EAD even doing with his life nowadays anyway? The group that created him rebranded and his name no longer has any meaning.
People have so many damn gimmicks around here I don't even know who you're trying to reference.Sakurai will definitely include a female character that fights in and outside of a mech.

Could be Sakura; could be Susie; that's the fun part!People have so many damn gimmicks around here I don't even know who you're trying to reference.
Who's the other besides Takamaru?there's two nintendo owned samurai unaffiliated with fire emblem that would be better additions than lyn
Elma.
Skells are Too Big though; it'd need to only be in the Final Smash, and that's a major loss for the mech fighter supporters out there.
the one whose legal first name is Samurai
Got my 15th character into Elite Smash. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this, lol.
That doesn't actually narrow it down, lol.
I can't be assed to get anybody in there besides K. Rool and Banjo. I vastly prefer arenas to Elite Smash.
I'm also pretty amazed to see Sonic eating a chili dog there. I had just assumed offhand that it's decided an American Thing™, but there we are, ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ is チリドッグ.
Sonic's had Chili dogs in the games since Black Knight.I'm also pretty amazed to see Sonic eating a chili dog there. I had just assumed offhand that it's decided an American Thing™, but there we are, ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ is チリドッグ.
It was actually really interesting looking at some of the mashups in Pixiv. Some of the stuff is kind of expected if you've developed incredible nerd power. Like you've got a big Super Robot Wars style giant robot mashup that has a bunch of Gundams and Brave series, but also has Impact from Ganbare Goemon and a Power Loader X-4 from the Power Dolls series. And Joy Mech Fight style fanart is pretty popular, I've seen quite a bit of it over the years, so seeing a bunch of Custom Robo characters in the style just feels like a natural match for Nintendo and robot fans. That's all, like, I guess that's stuff that people over there would recognize that isn't part of our gaming experience growing up here.
But then you have someone who was doing Super Robot Wars mockup screenshots art in the style of the GBA or DS games. The first ones I see are Samus Aran and Halo suits, and I think, well, you had some powered armours in some of those games. That makes sense. Then they have Wayne from Lost Planet, and I'm thinking, okay. Giant robots are a big feature in that series, they're just not in it at the moment. Then I see that they have mockups of Dead Space, Gears of War and Half-Life, at which point I'm just like, oh, this person is just a bit fan of American games like Half-Life and Metroid. I understand now.
And that's why ST Falcon, who is small by giant robot standards, is the natural one to be in. A very small boy.Skells are Too Big though; it'd need to only be in the Final Smash, and that's a major loss for the mech fighter supporters out there.
Elma is still cool though.
The games eventually adopted the Sonic liking chili dogs thing (first in Unleashed), so the few Sonic fans in Japan are in on it.I had just assumed offhand that it's decided an American Thing™, but there we are

Oh, I must have either missed or forgotten that. I wonder if Japanese Sonic fans grab onto Sonic memes from the English-speaking Internet the same way that Gundam fans will grab onto Japanese Gundam memes like painting things red to make them faster.
such is the way of semi-niche fandomOh, I must have either missed or forgotten that. I wonder if Japanese Sonic fans grab onto Sonic memes from the English-speaking Internet the same way that Gundam fans will grab onto Japanese Gundam memes like painting things red to make them faster.
Oh, he meant Goroh. LULThat doesn't actually narrow it down, lol.
I know you're talking about the F-Zero man, but Rhythm Heaven's Wandering Samurai is actually named Samurai Steve in the PAL release of Fever.
Excuse me, I've been hyping MonHun since *checks notes* August 2018After Steve and the Travis mii, I have no clue who is considered likely. I honestly think people are getting a little too confident on MH ever since that direct tbh.
Do we have any idea how popular Dark Souls is in Japan?Demi-Fiend
Chosen Undead
Crash
Dovahkin
It's a little weird to me that there was no Dovahkin Mii Costume yet, especially with Vault boy existing. The helmet alone is pretty iconic and recognizable.
Saying for the umpteenth time that no Shin Megami Tensei spirit event or Jack Frost Mii Costume is really weird and sus as all hell.
Dark Souls just makes sense to be in Smash, it's been an influential franchise like Minecraft.
Crash is a no brainer really. It's not my thing, but I think he does deserve to be in.
Still holding to the prediction that Master Chief will not get in unless a Halo game was planned for Switch all along. He has never appeared on a Nintendo platform and doesn't meet one of the only two valid "rules"
Those rules are:
1. Must be a video game character.
2. Must have appeared on a Nintendo platform. Every character on the roster fulfills this. It does not have to be a main game in their series nor do they have to even star prominently in it (see Cloud pre-Switch).
Shouldn't be too hard to guage, try digging through Media Create threads. Seems like the series has been above 300K, which is really good in the modern Japanese console market.
I hate how they cut so many of the generic versatile costumes in favor of ones based on characters...Ultimate cut the Samurai armor Mii Costume from Smash 4 for no reason.
Sakurai hates samurai confirmed.

The samurai armor died so that Woolly Yoshi could live...
Fate Grand/Order is the most popular one of those types of gamesIf we're adding influential games to Smash, which game popularised the collectable cute girls gacha mobile game model?
Cos it feels like there's a new one of those every month trying to cash in.
Jigglypuff is already in the game though.If we're adding influential games to Smash, which game popularised the collectable cute girls gacha mobile game model?

It's that "we kept getting in as DLC" privilegeIsn't it wild that FE got away with four different victory themes
Only Byleth got one as DLC. Ultimate retroactively went back and changed Robin, Lucina and Corrin. They had the FE theme in Smash 4
Also Chrom, though his was fixed in a later update after being stuck with the default FE victory theme at launch.Only Byleth got one as DLC. Ultimate retroactively went back and changed Robin, Lucina and Corrin. They had the FE theme in Smash 4
Corrin didn't even have her's until the game was almost done. The E3 demo still used the Smash 4 FE theme
