I'm fully of the opinion that the only in-game role that indicates a character isn't a contender for Fighter Pass Vol. 2 is if they're a purchasable Mii costume. Both DLC Mii costumes and DLC Fighters generally sell based on the characters alone, so double dipping for one in particular is a...

They can add literally whatever the hell they want, it's premium content. Spirits, assists, costumes, whatever mean nothing for their decision process. I don't understand why that's not an obvious thing.

Dixie is still the biggest missed opportunity to me. I'm genuinely surprised she isn't playable. Alph seems like a no-brainer too, but I guess since he missed the boat last time they didn't feel it was worth it this time.

Ah yes, the Boaty McBoatface picks.

Yeah, I agree with this. I've been around in speculation since pre-Brawl, so I've seen the kind of ebbs and flows of the popularity of characters. The problem with talking about what long-time requests are "big" is how much that criteria changes. Different circumstances affect the amount...

Someone pointed it out above, but there's a direct quote from Sakurai where he says Castlevania as a series was a popular request. I'm sure Simon was the most popular request, but by a somewhat slim margin, with Alucard trailing behind him. He's also been a fairly common request among older fans...

Personally, I think the results are pretty clear without needing to see them. All cut veterans playable returned Inkling playable King K. Rool playable Ridley playable Simon playable Banjo & Kazooie playable Isaac AT returned, more spirits than any other non-playable series Shovel Knight AT...

The thing about the original Fighter's Pass is that negotiations and development on it started before the full completion and release of the base game. Spirits and Assists "deconfirmed" in that case, because if they'd planned something for DLC before the game launched, they could've just removed...

https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/ewmgke/the_cyl4_winners_have_leaked_from_website_js_code/ Oh my gosh, lol. The vote count for Edelgard. We should show that to Sakurai. Also, side note -- I don't think folks saying Edelgard can't be an echo of Byleth are thinking accurately...

The biggest thing going for Isaac is his performance on the ballot. It's obvious he did well based on Ultimate's content and exit polls. Him getting in definitely could happen, but depends on which direction they go with the choices. It's entirely possible (and probably likely) they stick with...

Pardon my ignorance here, but what is Golden Sunday supposed to be?

Maybe I'm the only one here, but I want Isaac because the fans want Isaac and he seems to have just barely missed his shot. He's easily the most-requested of left-out Nintendo characters (since I'm not counting technically third party Geno), and it's clear to me that Isaac did very well on the...

Right, but I'm not sure I understand your perspective on it. There's always short phases where characters are deemed likely or unlikely and different characters come and go from that status, but the most popular always shine through regardless. Isaac's always been one of the most requested, same...

Why do you say that?

Honestly, I'd argue that the fact that Golden Sun got more content than other series without a playable character is because Isaac wasn't going to be playable, not because he was almost playable. What that does say to me though is that they were aware of the demand for it.
