I have a similar unpopular opinion. I have absolutely no issue with non video game characters getting in Smash. I would love to play as Ichigo, Edward Elric, Predator, Venom, The Undertaker, The Ninja Turtles, Spawn, Chandra Nalaar, and tons of other characters. Maybe it’s just because I’m so used to the idea from Brawl modding for so many years that it doesn’t bother me at all.
To be fair, as Ginyu, you have the ability to be whoever you want lol
’s presentation. The spoiler below holds the info on every Vol. 2 fighter, including the final two, as well as what I’ve been through to get this If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read this.
I don't need any of those, because I am already cooler.
This is obviously a lie, you never discussed in great detail what you went through to get this! I would totally believe those two are the characters if you fix that mistake though.Okay…I’ve decided to play this charade long enough.
I’ve had info on Vol. 2’s fighters ever since
I just want someone to make a fake leak that catches on that has some of my favorite more obscure characters on it. It seem like that is how a lot of support behind characters picks up.
The only thing I care about is whether I like the character and if their moveset looks fun. It doesn’t really matter to me where they originated or even if they have a ton of games. That would definitely help but I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t be hyped for a Full Metal Alchemist character that isn’t really known for having many games.
He had her when he was like 22, not 17 lmao
To this day, Tenkaichi 3 is the only DBZ Fighting game that really had some nice Dragonball representation. Kid Goku (not GT), Kid Chi Chi, Grandpa Gohan, Devil Man, Eighter, Tambourine, King Piccolo, Mercenary Tao, Arale, The Pilaf Gang in a Mech, and General Blue.
I know, which is why you can't say **** from Part 3
Smash is just Rule of Cool tbh. Is say, the disaster bi lawyer Nick cool? If yes, put him in! Is Goku cool? Let him in! Is Miriam from Bloodstained cool? Hell no, garbage game, keep that **** outta here
My reaction when the first non video game character is revealed:
I'd prefer it if Smash kept to video games cause it gives it a more focused and consistent approach that allows for better usage of what is there
It's not complete without the Cell Yell:
Yes, the fact that the roster is a major part of why Smash Bros is so successful - especially since Nintendo's always promoted Smash Bros as "The Dream 4 Player Crossover Party Fighter". But I'd argue that gameplay does have a significant impact on why a lot of people latched onto the series: the old adage of "Simple to learn, hard to master" is very much apt when describing Smash Bros. Also, it might not have been as successful if it were more akin to a traditional FGC title (granted, the FGC was not in the best of positions by 1999, but still).
's release. and now have 2,6 million online matches in their dataset. :150K games played, 4th most popular character overall, but also has the 4th lowest winrates in the sample at 41 %. While his initial announcement took the Smash world by storm and Persona 5 is a popular game, he's also absolutely a case where some people heard that the #1 player in the world wins tournaments with the character / hear that he's top tier, and thus choose the character. Other top tiers like Palutena and Wolf are amongst the most played as well. He can be difficult to get a hang of initially outside of Arsene and he's harmed by online, so that might explain his win rate. : 85K games played, 19th most popular character overall. 53 % winrate. Already overtaken B-K, which may come as a major shock to the speculators here... but part of it might be that Jab-Jab-Power Dunk is both pretty easy to pull off and devastating at the same time. That's not the only reason - Terry's specials are powerful and versatile, and he's surprisingly heavy, Has a top player using him (Riddles), so that helps drive interest a bit too. : 74K games played, 28th most popular character overall; between Jigglypuff and Ganondorf. The duo have an respectable 52 % winrate online. Already more played than mr. DORIYAH, which is indicative of the casual popularity. A bit harmed by the fact that getting better playing as them is pretty damn unorthodox and that there's no top player using them, but OTOH the versatility benefits them a lot. Also, a few moves like Wonderwing arguably become more potent online. : 63K games played, between WFT and Greninja. Win rate's at 49 %. While a lot of people likely played him for the RNG shenaningas and meaty attacks he possesses, he's also a bit volatile, it can be a bit difficult for a casual player to get a hang of him, and DQ's only become relatively popular in the West recently. The Japanese Hero player Akakikusu made waves in a big Japanese tournament recently, so there's that.: 49K games played, sandwiched between Falco and Fox. Almost 48 % win rate. Being a heavy with long recovery helps, but Plant also has a few wonky attacks. Doesn't have a lot else besides the "PLANT GANG" meme helping it along. : 43K games played. 57 % winrate, and really, superlong range with good coverage does well overall vs. people who have practiced the matchup. Online is full with people who don't know how to deal with that, so Min Min does even better for the most part. : 40K games played. 42 % winrate, the 7th lowest. Likely harmed online by a lot of swings (F-Air, B-Air, F-Smash) being narrow and difficult to connect online, plus the lag harms the strategic focus. The fact that Byleth's already overtaken by Min Min in terms of matches played says quite a bit too. : 35K games played, likely about to overtake Richter / Dr. Mario. High online win %, at 55. Likely because Steve has a lot of stuff that works online, whether it's the Minecart or the quick swings. : 23K games played, likely to overtake Ice Climbers and Lucario soon. The 6th lowest win %, at 42. Like with Byleth, Sephiroth has more trouble hitting with F-Airs,B-Airs and F-Tilts online due to the narrow hitbox. Still, he's a popular choice. : 11K games played, but only a couple thousand games away already from overtaking Daisy / Simon / Rosalina as the least played characters. Almost 45 % winrate, which might be due to people having some trouble adjusting between Mythra / Pyra online.
Preach it

"That's Bidoof over there!"

Forgot Maximum Spider. smh
It's Maximum Spider. 'Nuff Said.Forgot Maximum Spider. smh
If Melee doesn't have Slippi-tier netcode lots of people are gonna be mad.
How to piss everyone off:
Did you heae that from anyone in particular?
So people are gonna be mad, got it.
Requiring a payed subscription to buy individual games is a very Nintendo move that I can totally see lol.
On the topic of 4th party, I would absolutely love Finn The Human and Steven Universe. I wouldn't lose hope in humanity if Goku got in because I'm very connected to the character.
