Kazuya is the main protagonist of the original Tekken and is one of the 3 characters the story revolves around. I don't really see any logic in choosing Vergil over Dante. Vergil is less popular, less important, has less relevance to the DMC series, has less moveset potential and is far less...

Phoenix probably won't make it by sheer probability. There's one spot left and probably 200 characters viable to fill it. The fact that Kazuya has spiky hair and an alt costume where he has a suit is not why lol. Do you think Sakurai would be like "well we were going to have Phoenix Wright, but...

Ryu isn't the last big retro character missing. Even with Arthur getting his costume, Contra exists. Nintendo loves promoting Contra too. Big, big mainstay for the NES and SNES era.

If I were to hazard a guess it's because Chun li is arguably the most iconic female gaming character of all time, and she's in almost as many crossovers as Ryu. She suspiciously didn't get the assist trophy spot for SF2, either. With Sephiroth in, we very clearly can get additional unique...

Phoenix Wright: +The only major Capcom IP to not have content in Smash yet. +Popularity dating back to the pre-Brawl days. +Very close series ties to Nintendo, which helped characters like Bayonetta and Banjo previously. +Capcom is the only 3rd party company involved with Smash to not have a...

Not that Chun Li isn't viable, but by this logic Resident Evil and Street Fighter should have been in way before Mega Man as those franchises are way bigger than Mega Man.

You are really missing out not knowing what Power Stone is. Especially given you're on a Smash forum... Power Stone is basically Smash Bros but in a 3D arena.

I think a Pokemon is still possible, but they've also specifically done a spirit event for SwSh and they released a Team Rocket Mii late in FPVol1. Feels like there's a bit going against it too. They did the same for Cuphead and I'm not exactly expecting him to come at this point.

If in, Phoenix wouldn't be totally inappropriate for the final reveal IMO. He's not E3 caliber though.

I think Hayabusa feels like a good candidate for the final reveal if at all. Things are looking up for Ryu I think. Lloyd's Mii not returning indicates another swordy he'll come alongside.

The game is about the entire video game industry. Hence the hard pivot into 3rd party content.

It really would. Street Fighter, Mega Man, Ghosts N Goblins, DMC, Ace Attorney and Resident Evil make up Capcom's most heavily promoted franchises. Everything except AA and DMC is now in Smash, and AA especially has an extensive history with Nintendo.

Crash or Rayman feels like the closest thing we could possibly get to something that would personally excite me since Terry. Keeping everything crossed....

DMC and AA not having any content in Smash would be a bit weird. I am gonna give up on Wright at this point though and I'll just expect 2 more characters that are uninteresting.

Gonna be interesting to see him stretch "The characters I want all have a really good chance and the ones I don't want are all unlikely" into a full length novel but I'm here for it
