Well, that was because of time constraints. They were planned to have one but it just didn't happen due to Melee's rushed dovelopement. I'm 100% certain if a Rhythm Heaven character happens they would get a stage. I assume R.O.B. doesn't have one becuase he can really be represented by any NES/Famicom stage.
That's a good idea! The only problem is it would be a scroller lol. I would looove to have both of the songs play as well!
According to ResetEra user Ryce, Sal Romano's source (responsible for the infamous Gematsu leak) saw 3D models of the Chorus Kids in development.

Not much evidence to support these claims, but if true, we could very well see another Ice Climbers situation! 🤔 pic.twitter.com/ipQRxIEqqn
Judging off of the info that we have been regurgitating ad nauseam, I kinda believe it. Ryce was exact on everything that came out for MvC:I (
Given how well I think the art style translates to 3D, I'd actually love them to be rendered that way. Also I think it'd be neat, and hopefully, for them to make custom models for the trophies of other RH characters as we haven't seen a lot of them in Smash 4.
Well there are 3D mini games in Rhythm Heaven such as Airboarder, and in Megamix even some of the backgrounds were rendered that way too. So they won't necessarily change the art style of the series as many of the designs are the same in 2D.
WarioWare also uses some 3D but usually just in microgames and not with the main cast in Diamond City.
Well yeah, that's what I meant by not using 3D models predominantly, but hey Ashley's, hopefully former, assist trophy does leave some room for the Chorus Kids' model being plausible.
yeah but why would they change the style of chorus kids
I dunno, Smash itself also has a style of its own so I think it'd be wise to keep the whole roster as consistent and coherent as possible (design-wise). I mean, they've made characters fit who have only been 2D or pixel sprites before. So personally I'd like to see 3D Chorus Kids in Smash - but sure, I'll take 2D as well if that's the route they take.
Yeah, while I might've been part of the group who jumped the bandwagon after the Smash 4 "leaks", I've really grown the like the idea of a trio character. It works really well for a (likely) rhythm-based moveset, you know, going all "one, two, three, hit" or something.
That is huge news. I trust Sal Romano on this. I am 99.99999% sure they are in now.
i meant for a hypothetical rhythm paradise on the switch
The whole 'one two three' rhythm thing is worrisome. You have such a large hitbox and then you might have attacks that have a large warning ahead of use (think of WFT's smash attacks whistle sfx for example, but worse.) It depends how they implement it.I dunno, Smash itself also has a style of its own so I think it'd be wise to keep the whole roster as consistent and coherent as possible (design-wise).

Also, if they're in, I'd like the Chorus Kids' official art be them "towered" up like so. Would make for an adorable amiibo as well:
Edit: Image not working. Well, HERE and HERE.
I would like a 3D model, but if they summon other characters from the series like some fan made move sets have suggested they will probably be 2D unless they wanna model a bunch of them. The 3D model should definitely have the squiggly lines though
I don't like how sad this is, but... I don't think people consider them almost guaranteed. Weird, because for me, a Rhythm Heaven char is a shoe-in, but for most...
Yeah, it's really weird, especially considering they were on the heavily spread Gematsu leak. I guess it's just because they're from a very niche series in the west and a lot of people aren't really thinking about them.
Ah, darn it. I was really hoping for that to be true. Thanks for clarifying.
Concerning obscurity, I don't think that's too big of an issue. They're not that obscure, at least in Japan, and have at least a presence over here. As you said, they are one of the only franchises that are big enough to get a rep. With most other franchises already represented and ARMS looking very unlikely due to the start of developement being late 2015, they have the best shot. I doubt Sakurai would like the only new franchise to be Splatoon either. About the difficulty of implementing a rhythm based fighter, I don't think that's an issue either. If Sakurai didn't think their move set would work, they wouldn't have gotten past the planning stages. We know (unless the emblem was meant for something else) that they did because of the unused emblem. I've always considered them to have been cut due to time
