My most wanted Capcom reps are Mega Man characters like Zero and Tron Bonne. But if Chun-Li never get's in, they sure as hell never will. I also want Chun-Li as well since she's my favorite Street Fighter character. But I know Street Fighter will and should get their characters first since Street Fighter has the more iconic cast.
I've been thinking about this in regards to Chun-Li a lot. How like, in the hierarchy of Capcom characters Chun-Li is inarguably near the very top. In a vacuum, ignoring the number of 'reps' Street Fighter has and thinking about the biggest no-brainer Capcom characters left to add to the roster (hell, biggest video game characters in her case), Chun-Li is such an obvious answer - arguably, IMO, the single most significant video game character left to add to the roster.
That's the reason why I would want Chun-Li over a 2nd Mega Man rep. The titular Megaman character is still more iconic than the entire Street Fighter cast.

ooooh I really like the Shadow Lady Challenge as an homage to MvC as well as an event boss battle to unlock Chun-LiHey, Kick Crew it's been a minute, and boy this place has grown in my absence!
So let's break down some stuff and assess our chances
1: We know now the 3rd parties can have multiple reps if they're big enough.
2: We know that challenges can be added based on new characters.
So what do we have now and what don't we have?
Well despite Street Fighter's size and seniority like FF there are no Mii Costumes, not one.
All the music from SF is from the two variants of SF2, despite all variants of SF2 plus SF3 being available for Switch. Additionally, Ryu & Ken use focus attacks in Smash which is a reference to the system present in SF4 which had a 3DS port. Some MvC2 music would be nice but I'm not sure of the legality of that.
In the history of Capcom characters in crossovers, Chun-Li has been the favored option over Ken in the 3D era of Capcom. In multiple games, Ken is often ignored as the partner for Ryu in favor of Chun-Li and Akuma, but mostly Chun-Li.
As for events, there is one that came back in SF5 that came from MvC1, which I think would be a very interesting event to bring to smash a boss-like encounter for an unlock.
That was a bit rapid-fire but yeah, hope this is comprehensive.
Hmm this is a pretty interesting idea for Chun-Li, I could easily see her being given a Challenger Approaching style early-access fight, it’s a staple of the Street Fighter series after all so it makes a lot of sense to do for herHey, Kick Crew it's been a minute, and boy this place has grown in my absence!

representing Vega with Arena Ferox referencing his home stage.
That shouldn't be a problem, Capcom still owns the characters and their artwork. Sony financed Persona 5 and we all know there was no problem getting content from that.
Eh, I do think Chun-Li stands a good chance but this isn't a good reason to count Monster Hunter out, who still provides IMO her steepest competition. I mean, Street Fighter is in Smash too so I'm unsure how this disqualifies MH specifically.
Honestly, I think if any company is going to break the "One rep per Pass" fan rule it will be Microsoft. Microsoft is one of the biggest corporations in the world and their presence alone in Smash is somewhat overwhelming in retrospect. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft actually does triple dip for the DLC and get's Master Chief near the end.
Let me rephrase what I meant.
I don't think Chun-Li is more iconic than Ryu and Megaman. But I do think she's right behind them as the number 3 most known.
Rathalos is definitely for all intents and purposes the "face" of Monster Hunter, and if you want my honest opinion on this I think Monster Hunter would be served just fine with Rathalos as a boss if it had an actual stage and more music and spirits. It's still kinda confusing to me why they didn't go all the way with that... which is part of why I've been prepared for the addition of more. The Hunter themselves is more of a vessel to experience the game than they are the icon of the series, and I'm not a huge generic avatar in Smash kind of guy. I could do without Monster Hunter as a character.
I mean no disrespect to you and I don't want to sound patronizing when I say this, but it's kinda tiring to hear people argue this when Monster Hunter has SO many different weapon combinations and ideas that you can pull from. Byleth is not the only Smash character to use multiple weapons and I'm certain, Hunter or otherwise, they won't be the last. While you could certainly build a MH moveset that looks similar to Byleth, you could also build like ten other ones that are completely unmistakably different. I think the observation that Byleth plays like MH could have is valid... but I think Byleth is simply one of many different directions that a Hunter could be taken.
Chun-Li is IMO the most iconic video game character missing from Smash - she is undeniably very very very significant and this continues to be a great point in her favor. I would never argue that a generic Hunter is a more recognizable character than her - however I would acknowledge Monster Hunter's gigantic influence in Japan and its recent successes making it one of the most glaring series without a playable character.
Our girl having that eye of the tiger look thinking "It's time. It's finally time for me to enter Smash's halls and show them who the strongest woman in the world is."
This was my prospect for Morrigan - my MW Capcom pick, but far from likely. But since her legacy lies more in crossovers and representing Capcom's fighting games as a whole vs Darkstalkers specifically, I think it could be neat to see her pull from all different avenues reaching into Marvel vs Capcom and deeper cuts like Cyberbots or Red Earth.
I don't think they'll save her for the last one so either next one or the second next one.
That is what I was saying, is that Chun-Li will probably be FP9 or FP10 if she's in because of the Smash 4 Mii costumes showing up one after the other in the Challenger Packs.
