I don't really understand what's so unacceptable about believing in the absence of contrary evidence that it's likely Spirits deconfirm or that it's unlikely for one company to get two characters in a single pass. Even if someone who believes either thing is proven wrong and it happens down the...

Phoenix Wright: Want: 100%. He's pretty much the one and only character I'm still actively campaigning for. There's no one else I want on the same level as him. No one. The only other character that comes close is Amaterasu - yes, yet another Capcom rep. Life is pain. Chance: 50%. Let me...

In fairness, you could argue he sort of "lost" that negotiation, seeing as he only managed to get the MIDI rips Sugiyama has "gifted" the West with since time immemorial.

Their main color is also blue, in both cases. Though when I say that, frankly, I realize that Sonic is more Blue Badger than Phoenix Wright.

I feel like I'm only at all okay with Mii Fighter renditions of a character if that character would fight even remotely like that particular class of Mii Fighter were they to get in. i.e. Cuphead: Cool! He totally does fire projectiles from his fingertip as a primary means of combat, and the...

Hilariously enough, all the third-parties that preceded them made it so that Byleth was the underdog, at least in the eyes of the fanbase.

A Mii Costume or Spirit Event would force me to count Phoenix out entirely, so if that's really what his fate has to be, I'd rather it be in or sometime very close to the release of the final DLC character. Speculation would lose a lot of fun for me if they Consolation Prize'd the only character...

Honestly, I feel like Sakurai/Nintendo have done a great job of making me feel like almost any sufficiently-known character could appear in almost any capacity, personally. As long as the game or series has a decent number of recognizable characters, it's fair game for a Spirit Board; as long as...

I get the feeling they're not going to bother with DmC. If I recall correctly, there was something in the phrasing of the PR videos for DMC3 that implied they only had one more game in the pipeline, which would obviously be DMC4, given the rest of the games have been the numbered titles. Of...

If it's March or April, we could get a New Horizons board, since I imagine there'll be a few new NPCs, and most "normal" villagers aren't represented as Spirits. Pick a handful of fan-favorites among 'em, and you've got yourself a Spirit Board. I'd say Doom Eternal, but I reckon they'd wait...

Having your series' most recent entry not even be internationally released is also not a great look, even if it's technically a spin-off; I think having a major, worldwide title to point to when promoting would be very helpful for Phoenix, especially with Dante having just gotten a mainline game...

It's not necessarily that we need it for him to get in, but the only character in the DLC pass who got in without something formally announced either for release the same year or just on the horizon is Banjo, who got in entirely on the back of a decade of fan requests, on top of Sakurai's...

From a pure sales perspective, Resident Evil is almost twice as popular and lucrative as Capcom's next most-popular franchise. It's sold 93 million units. The next-most is Monster Hunter, at 58 million. So if nothing else, it's not looking like "financial viability" is a particularly enormous...

Yeah, it's clear there's probably some benefit to getting to talk to Sakurai directly. I would say I also hope that the fact that Kamiya's already got a character in Smash would be a point in Phoenix's favor if Sakurai's looking to do a pal a favor, but... Having like seven characters didn't...

Probably not, though if Shu Takumi actually said that (and it's possible he didn't, considering how "reliable" Kamiya is as a source on Twitter), he's probably at least discussed the idea with Sakurai before. Sakurai and Takumi are probably friends, given that Takumi and Kamiya are and all three...
