So we're basing guesses off of sales?

I would unironically pop-off if CJ somehow got in Smash though. Any other GTA character in Smash would be whatever, but CJ would be crazy. Especially if the take some of the wackier weapons or cheat codes into the moveset.

I honestly want to know how many Smash fans even heard of Dante before two days ago, where the DMC news coincedentally collided with the DLC 5 reveal.

Like, legit heard of him and know who he is.

Let alone played his games.
Played a few DMC games myself, Marvel 3, ect. DMC's a fairly big series, so I'm sure plenty of them have genuinely know of him.

I know there's some "Nintendobois" who somehow don't even know what a "Capcom" is, but it ain't as bad as the Terry situation with people lacking taste.

Ya know, as someone who still stans by Dexit



So this is what people who like Sword/Shield see Dexit stanners as, huh?


The subreddit is a literal whiny mess to the point that the 2nd or 3rd most top rated post is reminding people "NOT TO SEND THREATS" to Sakurai.



Christ, ya'll a buncha manchildren, not you guys, ya'll my pals.

Pokemon, Smash Bros., Sonic... if there's a fandom out there, you'd better believe that they take factions seriously. And every faction hates one another equally. It's sad, really.

Also I absolutely love this reference. The trailer has so many references to the bosses and settings of the game and I love it.

Make way for Prince Mari
Say hey! It's Prince Mari

Hey! Clear the way, all you avatars
Hey you!
Let us through!
He's a superstar!
Oh Come!
Be the first on your block to meet his eye!
Make way!
Here he comes!
Ring bells! Bang the drums!
Are you gonna love this guy!

Prince Mari! Fabulous he!
Maria Bratha
Show respect. Boy, genuflect!
Down on one knee!
Now, try your best to stay calm
And Stow all of your Bob-Ombs
The come and meet his spectacular coterie

Prince Mari!
Mighty is he!
Maria Bratha
Strong as ten regular men, definitely!
He faced the slithering plants!
A hundred Koopas with Pans!
Who beat the Kongs man to man!?
Why, Prince Mari

He's got seventy-five Legendaries
Charizards?
Man, he's got fifty-three
When it comes to the Pokemon Shinies
Has he got a zoo?
I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie

Prince Mari! Handsome is he, Maria Bratha
That physique! How can I speak
Weak at the knee
Well, get on out in that square
Adjust your tie and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Mari!

He's got ninety-five colors of Yoshi
(They saved his life, and now they're rides)
And to view them he charges no fee
(If you've got the DLC)
He's got hunters, and heroes and Kirby's
(Proud to work for him)
They bow to his whim love serving him
They're just lousy with loyalty to Mari! Prince Mari!

Prince Mari!
Amorous he! Maria Bratha
Heard your princess was hot! Hey, where is she?
And that, good people, is why he got dolled up and dropped by
With Animal Crossing and Emblems galore!
With his karts and parties
And Wii Fit and more
With grand surprises and dead franchises
His games make money on key
Make way for prince Mari!
Not very good. But cathartic to read. Even if I've let up on my criticisms of the red guy.

Characters in Smash are like internet gang wars dude. You know this already.

Mega Man X/Mega Man.EXE/Zero/Volnutt bros are pretty chill though.

>I love you


Uhh, thanks, but I have a significant other
Well someone things highly of themselves. It's me talking to the devs for all their work.

I love how Byleth getting in smash made me love FE3Hs music 1000 times more
I'm a little disappointed the Claude Skin didn't give him a tan though. Kind of wish they did the same with Daisy, but Mario characters don't get their Retro skins very often anymore.

I'd wager most people knew of him through the meme, but that's it.

Figured since the whole new pass was announced, might as well reevaluate who I want and make them known.

Characters I want that I think are more likely,
-Ryu Hayabusa
-Nightmare
-Lara Croft
-Yuri Lowell
-Quote/Curly Brace

Characters I want that I think are less likely,
-Cynthia
-Dig Dug
-Amaterasu

Characters I wouldn’t mind,
-Dante
-Reimu
-Steve
-Crash

And if spirit upgrades are possible,
-Rayman
-Shantae
-Geno
-Dixie Kong
-Fawful

Well I played all the main games except the reboot. Yes. Even 2.

That's the most comic book gravestone I've ever seen.

Like, whoever inscribed it was big on debating who would win in a fight.
Out of context yeah. Read Kraven's Last Hunt if you haven't. It's great.

The fact that we don't have Namco Mii Costumes:


:( why
I'm not saying it'll happen, but a Jin Kazama DLC character with Heihachi Mii Costume would be pretty great, right?

I played the DMC reboot as my friend had it--was my kind of humor (well, except for the dialogue), but not my kind of game. Also happens to be the most derided version by fans, but it's all that I know about.

I thought he had a good chance to be in Vol 1. I thought the pass would go based on big characters from returning companies, plus 1 or 2 new ones--Thinking Sega returning made me think Joker was highly possible, but I had Sora for the Square character (before learning it was Disney that owned the rights). Dante made sense to me in the same way Joker did--returning company, big game recently came out, on many of the polls I used. And when the creator said Dante wouldn't be in Smash until DMC came to Switch, immediately followed by DMC coming to Switch, I thought it was a much higher possibility.

Did not think he'd be the final character though--I thought it would be either a really huge character (i.e., Sora), or a much more niche character. I leaned on the latter since it made sense to pack the beginning of a Pass with the highly marketable, unpredictable characters to get people the buy the pass. More people would buy a pass with Joker and 4 unknowns, than Byleth and 4 unknowns. But I got hopeful, especially with Sakurai's introduction.

When my friend watched the subbed Japanese version, there wasn't that introduction, and to me that made no sense. I could understand hyping up Byleth for a Japanese audience (though I don't get how it would be so unpredictable it needed to be extra under wraps--they'd be hyped, but no one I think is surprised a FE:TH character eventually made it in), while cutting that intro in the West. I think for a Western audience it would have made much more sense to save it for a Nintendo direct, not mention a Smash character until the Smash character intro, so that hype didn't build up uncontrollably. It's one of many marketing decisions I didn't understand (e.g., the final base game characters), but I guess for a Japanese audience that was the best way they could do it.

However, those are just my impressions. As for the character itself, I don't care either way--as I got my characters, I'm already satisfied, and feel happy for the fans, and bad for those still waiting for theirs. At least 6 more to go, though!

Challenge. Badly describe all the Fighter Pass characters in one sentence each. (ex: Piranha Plant = houseplant acquires a taste for human flesh)
Joker: Bayonetta’s long lost son who inherited her charm and love of guns.
Hero: Trunks’ D&D character.
Banjo & Kazooie: Rejected members of Munch’s Make Believe Band (Chuck E. Cheese’s band).
Terry: Ness’ father’s true identity.
Byleth: High school teacher attempts to copy Mr. Game and Watch’s use of everything and the kitchen sink.

For me, Crash and Heihachi still top the list of both possibilities and likelihoods. Scorpion would too if I thought it was even possible. DoomSlayer and Rayman I think are very likely and they always have been because of how chummy Nintendo has been getting with a Bethesda and Ubisoft. Travis is likely as well. But I’m not sure how likely. And then the last two are vague but distinct possibilities. One is something weird from a company no one is expecting (Borderlands, Portal, League of Legends, something like that). And finally is someone that Sakurai has wanted to do forever like Mach Rider or Chorus Men, or even Ayumi Tachibana with the remake coming.

There’s also the traitor, he is more likely then I’m comfortable with.

Piranha Plant: A spotty flower with big chompers.
Joker: A masked schoolboy who robs hearts.
Hero: A swordsman with RPG elements and a bland name.
Banjo-Kazooie: 2 funny animals that hate Microsoft.
Terry: A man with red clothing and pigtails, also fire manipulation.
Byleth: A professor who caused our fan base to get so angry and furious.
Tried my best.
