And it would also be a major shot in the foot on Nintendo's side. Even by Brawl, one of the biggest things about Smash was the new characters that would come and expand the crossover. People would be so disinterested.
So? Caring only about status such as Superstar is superficial at best. The reason most are superstars is due to being first and little more. Had Rosalina been in Super Mario Bros, she'd be a 'superstar' the same as Peach.
This comment had gone into obscurity because it was the final one on the page. R.I.P.
Technically the most obscure character in Smash is R.O.B The only stupid thing to do would be to add more Pokemon Characters, or add characters that they would've never added back when they were making Super Smash Bros for Wii U, unless it's an Ultra HD Scyther or a Western 3rd Party.
The name will be Steve and he’ll have an Alex costume, or maybe an echo like Richter. Steve is the name used on all the merchandise for Minecraft, so people know the name of the character. Sure it’s not a cool name, but people are able to recognize him from it. Also the Inklings analogy doesn’t work as that’s what they’re called in game, they aren’t called Splatoon, like Duck Hunt was named after his game.
I'd include Chorus Kids or a Gen 7 pokemon into that list as well
Yes, but the name Steeve is not what they call him in Japan, in Japan, he's just "that Minecraft Guy"
Scyther is the only new Pokemon Character that'd be interesting in Smash Ultimate
Yes. Ever since E3.
I disagree, it'd essentially be another sword, we have too many Gen 1 (5 of the game's 9 Pokémon are from Gen 1, every other Gen only have 1, except 3 & 5, which have none), and it'd be hard for it to carry any items at all due to having no hands.
Honestly, it's not a sure thing. It depends on if Sakurai wanted to take a chance on a Pokémon being popular and picking it.
It's kinda weird to think that, because of cameos in Lab Zero games... the ZONE-Tan character is only a few degrees of separation away from some of gaming's greatest heroes.
Removing options is the worst thing a developer can do for any game. These character additions don't hurt you or the "quality of the game", a bigger healthier roster usually does the opposite (but we'll have to wait and see how balancing goes lol). And I'm sure nobody will force you to play as Pit if you don't want to lol.
Smash would be a lot more boring if we only had the protags from each series. I think Smash has reached the limit of A-Listers.
I mean I'm not sure someone claiming that Cloud or Simon Belmont has brought down the overall quality (iconic-ness?) of the roster can really be taken seriously anyway.
>Daisy is iconic enough to deserve a spot but not Cloud or Simon Belmont
Damn, for some reason I thought she hadn't been. Oh well, I'm still going to join the Waluigi folks in holding out for Eevee as a playable character even though she appears as an item.
Yeah. I remember Sakurai once saying "A Smash with only popular characters doesn't excite me."
She's my fav Gen 7 starter..but how would she move around with that tail? She wouldn't be realistically expected to maneuver very well on land or even jump well.
Slither like a snake for walking, summon a small wave to push her along for running, push off the ground with her tail for a jump.
But she wasn’t, and that matters.
Okay, I have a question. And I want you to be straightforward with it, why are you here? It's more than clear you don't want any newcomers, in fact you want a large amount of the roster gone, so why are you coming on to a thread that is all about discussing possible newcomers? It seems counter productive. And no, people are not gonna restrict those choices. For Pete's sake, Issac and Geno are the two most replied threads for possible base game newcomers on this discussion board.
Geno and Skull Kid. Ashley has been temporarily taken out of the running, so really that is the only choice for base game.
Heavily requested for Smash 4? Can you show me a single poll where Steve hit top 20, let alone top 10?
Anecdotal, sure, but there were tons of Steve requests on Miiverse. Their demographics tended to have swung younger, but it's possible Nintendo saw the demand there.
Primarina's a seal though, seals don't slither. However, you did give me an idea, summoning water to move through akin to Ruto in Hyrule Warriors.
No it really doesn't. The first game in a series will often have the biggest impact on pop culture, but some of its best or most interesting characters won't arrive until later on down the line.
Cloud is a Sony character. Having him in the game is about as absurd as having Master Chief or Spyro or Goku or Crash or Jesus XIII in the game. Feel free to trade Simon for Richter if you want. And Banjo-Kazooie was from a passable N64 game. They don’t need to be remembered.>Daisy is iconic enough to deserve a spot but not Cloud or Simon Belmont
How is Daisy more deserving of a spot than Cloud? You seem pretty new to this whole speculation thing that the Smash speculation community would have lost its' metaphorical and also probably literal **** if you told them Cloud Strife would be in Smash. If Daisy is an A-Lister then Cloud is an SSS-Lister.
Correction: Cloud is a Square Enix character, and the character that helped popularize and change an entire genre. He is also apart of a series that started out on Nintendo systems, and Sakurai chose him because he was the most recognizable and popular character in the series. As for why your here, I can understand that, and I can at least praise you for trying to find disconfirmation for your belief. You'll never find it anywhere because your views are so specific and impossible to satisfy because there is no characters left you see as icons, but you still looked. And as for Detective Pikachu as an echo, I don't see it happening. He is outright incapable of fighting at all, and at the very most I expect his hat to appear as an alt for Pikachu, if it hasn't already.
