Tinpot speculation. I wonder if The last character will be a character that isn’t promoting anything on the switch.

The characters In the fighter passes have links on the smash website that take them to games they have on the Nintendo switch. In pass 1 we had

4 characters that had links to promote games they had on the switch whilst we had 2 characters who didn’t have links to games on the switch. Those being joker and banjo

In this pass we have 4 with links to games they have on the switch and 1 with no game on the switch so I wonder if The last will have no game on the switch to promote therefore making it a perfect 4 promotional characters and 2 non promotional characters.

Unfortunately I'm sure there's SOME Smash fans who want to beat him up for either not adding enough swords or enough furries.

I think this is stretching a bit:
I can see you counted Plant as a Pass 1 fighter, because with him, there indeed would be 4 characters with promotion links: It, Hero, Terry, and Byleth.

If the final fighter creates another 4-2 situation, this time with Pass 2, that'd be kinda neat ig.

I understand you didn't imply this, but the character could still promote a game on another console.

Okay, so it's a popular hack and slash game?.......Oh, it's the Stanley Parable if it were a hack and slash game with cyborgs and whatnot. Could be worth looking into to considering how much I enjoyed the Stanley Parable.

It does look cool, I'll admit.

Not the 2nd hack and slash rep I'd ever expect but sure

Also, for Brawlhalla fans out there, does anyone else think her sword is LITERALLY Val's?

True which is why I said tinpot. Just having some fun with speculation. There’s a lot of weird coincidences that just line up. It’s fun to speculate about them wether they come true or not.

Girl builds a killer robot; only gets third place in a science fair and ends up killing her biggest rival/ bully by "accident". God, I love Gaige.
And god bless Cherami Leigh and Rieke Werner (her german VA) for their performance.



R.O.B. is so underappreciated, not just in smash but in general and I would pay good money to have him get another game.

Gaige’s other voice actress, Luci Christian is another one of my favorite voice actresses. I think that line you quoted was actually Luci. They each did about half of Gaige’s lines. It’s cool that one character was played by two actresses I really like.

If Gaige somehow made it into Smash, I wonder if they would go with Cherami or Luci for the voice.

Seeing Ratchet & Clank on the honorable mentions list of this list made me think "hmm if a Sony character of some kind could get advocated enough worldwide... including within Japan..." ?

I'm once again pipe dreaming over here LMAO
Also, nice to see this site recognizing the big FPS boys and what not.

Or technically a game.

Honestly a game where someone finds a R.O.B. unit and has to work with it to solve whatever issues ensue would be pretty neat.

Eh, a lot of characters can be applicable to this. In fact they may not have a Switch game when they appear but they might have one further down the line. Persona 5 Scramble is on the Switch but the site doesn't update to include that Joker appears in that game.

I would feel very confident of an MK rep if it wasn’t for a few things. First, being banned in Japan is a huge hurdle but not one that isn’t possible to overcome. The main things that make me doubt a character are the Fire elemental and fighting game character events we had recently. Scorpion or Sub-Zero could still get in but I’m having doubts if it will be in this game. I think they have a really good shot for the next Smash at least.

I noticed that too. Last time I recall him being this inactive was during the time he needed to record his "After Sephiroth Reveal" video.

Hoping it's not a severe case or anything.

Not that many changes from the previous poll huh. Which is kinda unexpected - I honestly did expect some more changes considering three of the previous top 10 did get in the game in some form (incl. Rex's small appearance in Pyra / Mythra's moveset) and both Dante and Hunter (assuming it's MH and not Gon or another anime character) got Mii costumes.

I wonder why there is never any discussion on Mike Haggar. Wasn’t Final Fight just as big as Streets of Rage? I hear Axel’s name come up every now and then but I never really see anyone bring up Mike.

It would probably be Cherami as they brought her back for Pre-Sequel and BL3.
But I would be fine with either of them.

Same here. I think I slightly prefer Luci but they are two of the best voice actresses ever in my opinion and I would love to have either one of them as a playable character in Smash.

Don't forget that Sakurai stated that once the DLC was finalized, it would be "very difficult to change anything", or something along those lines. He's implying that change is not impossible, but not easy either.

We already discussed this poll back in the day.
Looking back at the comments there, I found that even Japanese heavily criticize the poll and anyone who tries to suggest non-video game characters.
Fans know one absolute rule set by Sakurai himself.
