It doesn't matter, other m was still a somewhat recent gane and a new game was just announced. You can color it how you want, but facts are facts. Ridley is samus's arch nemesis in almost every metroid game and the second moat important character. Geno is an optional side character from a 20 year old third party spinoff.
I can't say for sure if he will get in or not, but don't blame ridley if he doesn't. Just saying.
That's a good thing. Trying to use Peach without floating is one heck of a limitation with her moveset lol.
Personally I just always disliked them in concept because visually they are to me what K.Rool is to others here, throw in three movesets worth of resources applied to them including the most generic of swordfighters in a game full of them and wooo boy, I was not a fan.
Them being ambassadors of the Wii era doesn't bother me at all, but I was over the novelty half way through the wii's lifespan.
In execution though I enjoy Gunner and Brawler, mii costumes let me hide their faces and I don't have to be faced with "hilarious" Hitler or penis face miis online so they averted complete disaster.
I dig them being the multi man melee team, just a shame that I don't have many variations to actually drop in.
Geno is such a long standing and consistently asked for character that it almost seems like he NEEDS to be in the Ultimate Smash. When you think of those characters whose legacy in Smash basically amounts to them being on want lists for nearly two decades, Geno is high on that list. I remember discussion around Melee way waaaay back and people talking about wanting Geno.
Don't know why, but I honestly could see them pulling Chun Li in before an RE character. I wouldn't mind either.
Sure, I am just saying that generally crossover content is included in games to increase sales. Like you, admittedly, say -- media coverage, DLC sales, etc. all help. 3 of the third party characters were DLC. There's a reason for that. It was by design.
Wii U sales being level with Brawl probably says more about the Wii U than anything. I suspect Ultimate's sales on Switch will be much higher.
A game no one liked and bombed, still is the franchise being alive. There were constantly new games planned in the Metroid franchise. It's a big difference and you're being ridiculous.
If we get second reps from a series then I demand Tifa or Sephiroth.
Sure, and Lucina without tippers is worse than Marth, but that's the price of easy
For a younger player who doesn't know how to use the float, they'd have a better time playing a character with a third jump instead; they'd have an easier time recovering, and the extra jump itself would help emphasize that Peach and Daisy are meant to be airborne fighters with strong aerials
For me it's mostly their voices in mario kart, so obnoxious. That made me go from neutral to eh.
Just a question.
For those that want Captain Toad, does it have to be Captain Toad specifically? Would you be ok with normal Toad? Yes, normal Toad is pretty much disconfirmed, but would you be ok with normal Toad?

I'd honestly love both of these.
But How crazy would it be if Final Fantasy VII had as many reps as Donkey Kong in a Nintendo fighting game.
Tifa or Seph would be hype as fuck. Either of them plus Chun Li would make me very happy.
I've always been anti-Toad
Captain Toad is the only version worthy of consideration
He's about as much of a character as he is in Smash 4. :P
The two are honestly not even remotely comparable.
Ridley is the recurring villain of one of Nintendo's most iconic franchises.
Geno is a one-off party member from a Mario RPG spinoff 20 years ago that Nintendo barely acknowledges.
Falco is in every star fox game, and there's been a lot of star fox games.
I think Dark Pit is the only character that's not the main player character/primary protagonist, or a commonly recurring character. But he's also Sakurai's character, timed to be cross promotional for his new Kid Icarus game, took no development time, and was a huge part of the one game he's in.
Maybe Geno should and will get in just for the weirdly large fanbase for him in smash, but it's still very out of place to me.
Feel like Captain Toad is kinda deconfirmed too. Otherwise they wouldn't have updated Toad so much and brought Blue Toad to the battle.
Lucina still has somewhat of a niche competitively because the tipper being too much of an x-factor. That's why both ZeRo and Nairo prefer playing Lucina over Marth, even if she's "easier" she still comes with a few unique benefits. Peach without a float isn't easier, it's just straight up worse.
People just hate Miis. It sucks. I assume it might be largely because they're not "real" characters, but I'll never understand the hate either... Miis are great and it's so disappointing to see such a lack of enthusiasm for Mii Fighters in Smash Bros. =/
Yep. Was advocating for her not to have a float but now I understand that Peach's options are pretty much built around the float. If ya don't use it, you often lose.
Maybe they could make Daisy's float time shorter and make her a bit faster in the air (and buff her ground game to compensate)
You'll find some disagreement on that point. Zero, undoubtably one of the best players of the game, believes Lucina is better than Marth. And some agree with him. The fact that it's even arguable though seems to defeat your premise.
Peach without her float would just be a bad character.
Edit: Someone beat me to it.
Sheik is the one exception, but even she at least in hyrule warriors.
Their implementation sucked. All those custom moves and outfits. If there was a single mii character that was well implemented it would have been great.
Nah man, Brawl's palette swap didn't give you a worse neutral B.
The death of metroid was always greatly exaggerated on ye olde era, try and point that out back in the day though and you'd be buried by bitter responses regarding the assassination of Samus Aran by the cowards at Nintendo.
Thankfully we can put that behind us now, even if Nintendo still had to prepare pre-emptive damage control for a NEW 2D METROID by revealing a bordeline animated gif level of content of a game title teaser.
It was basically this

Well, what about Daisy being the tipper version of Peach? :P
Miis are good. They are supposed to be the "Create a Character" of Smash Bros and you can tweak their attributes and moveset. The costumes also added personal flair to the characters.
That would be better. One actual moveset that is based on the different mii games, instead of a bunch of reskinned clone moves.
With Tons of expensive, useless, piecemeal dlc
While better than brawl gameplay wise, smash 4 truly represents the low point of the series for me in terms of features and design.
Hope ultimate is better.
Example of how you would do this? Actual tipper, or something like sweetspots in her moveset?
Miis adapt and change for whatever game they're in, they can't be represented by just using Wii Sports moves because then they're not a Mii rep, they're a Wii Sports rep.
The Miis were not meant to be the traditional character, and having a moveset based on Mii games is a terrible idea because they are supposed to be anyone you want then to be. Which is why they have 12 different voice options now!
Sakurai usually balances clones so that they are equally as good as each other, even in high level play. Pit and Dark Pit/ Marth and Lucina are balanced near perfectly in this regard.
Sometimes, being more unique doesn't mean that you are the better fighter.
