Or it could be that some people (like me) don't want to get a third starter Mon in a row, since that'd be too formulaic and boring.Hey I genuinely want a Gen 8 rep!
Zacian and Zamazenta would be great but unfortunately
Everyone seems to have forgotten this thing existed.
Urshifu would be pretty rad, but I personally don't think it's happening because why would they add a Pokemon from the first DLC that not everyone who has the game would see instead of a Pokemon you are guaranteed to see no matter who has the game, Although that opinion holds very little water compared to the spirit event.
I may only have experience with a few, but four-legged fighters are typically extremely close range fighters since they use fangs & claws in most cases. And because of that, they tend to be boring, if not bad fighters all around. Sure, Duckhunt Dog managed to get a couple of creative moves to turn it into more of a zoner, but they had to get super freakin creative with his moveset (and involve characters not from the Duckhunt game). The DLC so far, however, has been loyal to a 'T' for each character, so I don't think they're going to start inventing things.
Most characters have a bit of a stalled turnaround speed but the dogs can just turn around with no traction and loss of speed at all, I think they'd need to add that to make them truly faithful.
Honestly despite being JRPG characters, I never really classified Sephi or Xenobaes as characters pandering to the Japanese audience. They have lots of world wide appeal. Japan stan character would be like Reimu or a Gundam.

I think Pyra and Mythra are aimed a little more towards Japanese audiences, but more than anything I think they're for the Switch playerbase in general. A real Japan-appeal rep would be Hero; A cultural phenomenon in Japan, less so in the West. You've probably heard of Dragon Quest for it's influence, but I do think a lot of Westerners only recognized the name and maybe the Slimes (And quite possibly Toriyama's art style). A similarly slanted rep would probably eb something like that, where a couple things are recognizable, but the bulk of Western players don't know the series very well, if at all.
The idea of a Gundam in smash is funny to me. Not only is it a rep from an anime, but it implies the existence of a tiny pilot if it were sized down to the other characters.
I agree. For me a character that aims for the Japanese audience would be more something like Puyo puyo, Reimu or at some extent a Tales of characters for example. A character like Dante or Pokémon are popular in Japan, but their popularity isn't limited to Japan.
looks at Custom Robo
OMG Namco has miraculously regained full rights of Ms. Pac-Man and now she's being added to Smash as that rumored bonus character!
NoA twitter is truly a (wo)man of culture. I love watching
in action:
Hoo boy the entire character list itself is ridonkolous and I love it:looks at Custom Robo
That aside, it wouldn't be the first time a giant character has been shrunk.
Yes, a reminder that Snake, Simon Belmont and Bomberman fought against Optimus Prime and Megatron...regardless of there being a stage where there is a Transformer at normal size.

I walked right into this one. Jokes aside ZZ is my least favorite of any UC Gundam, I only liked the last couple episodes.
I don't think Custom Robo or Transformers have pilots inside of them (correct me if I'm wrong, I know minimal of each). The problem isn't shrinking down the mech, it's shrinking down the pilot inside like Amuro down to a size where he is smaller than Pichulooks at Custom Robo

I think we could get more characters that have major popularity in Japan especially villains.
Transformers don't have pilots(depending on series), but Custom Robo absolutely does. Basically:
Hmmm interesting. Custom Robo is one of the series I've always wanted to play but never got around to. Definitely looks like a fun gameTransformers don't have pilots(depending on series), but Custom Robo absolutely does. Basically:
You see the Blue aura around those two? When people fight with Custom Robos, basically their minds are placed in the Robos themselves and they pilot the Robos. In the series itself, this is referred to as "diving", kinda like a scuba diver suit. This OVA for the first Custom Robo on N64 shows it in action.
It's not a direct transport, as the pilot's body remains outside, but Custom Robos are practically tiny Gundams. Like they are small compared to the actual people. You don't really see their size since they fight in Virtual Holosseams for the most part, but in cases where they actually fight in the real world, as shown in Custom Robo Arena, they are small even compared to kids, so in a sense, a person's mind going to pilot a Custom Robo is essentially a pilot shrinking in size.

Super Smash Bros. could get away with a Custom Robo being close to average size as they could technically be fighting in a Holosseam, but even Super Smash Bros. Brawl showed that Ray MK 3 is smaller than Mario.
MFW my most wanted is both a 1 and outside the scale entirely.
TBF they did increase
's size by a lot just so that he could appear*. If they need to they could shrink down Custom Robo (and presumably most mecha) - I'd imagine Ray would be larger than his AT counterpart in Brawl

posted (which is smaller than it looks like), but the Robo would not need to be sized either. One could get away with or even size with them IMHO.
It's definitely a hidden gem for the Gamecube and it's very enjoyable. Custom Robo Arena was also good, but the Custom Robo for Gamecube might be preferable because of how frickin' smooth it plays. Like despite being able to have 4 players, it runs at a really good 50-60 FPS and it just feels very satisfying to play.
I don't think that's how the character creation process works at all.
I already told you, by just doing things differently. You're putting them together like people put together random JRPG guys and call it "anime swordsmen".
Because I think you're asking me to do that for you.

They still have a chance. Biggest argument in their favor is the fact that Sakurai usually has placeholders for Pokémon until he has a better grasp on who's popular. Just because the pass was decided by 2019 doesn't mean he knew exactly which Pokémon he was adding. It just so happens that the starters and the Legendaries are the ones most associated with each Gen, so when looking for potential Spirits, of course they're gonna start there.Hey I genuinely want a Gen 8 rep!

My only stipulation with that line of thinking is the fact that a Spirit event exists at all, especially since it came out so close to the assumed decision date for the rest of the pass. I have very mixed opinions on whether or not it kills a chance for a Pokemon, but I do feel relatively confident that the specific characters are dead.
We probably get one more.
And I'm just the guy who goes "Screw it, FDC's the only one that really fits the time frame, let's back Ayumi." At the very least, the Spirit Events have led us to some more unorthodox picks.
And that's fair. Main reason why I don't feel intimated by the Spirit Event is because of how much time has passed since then. Even as F10, the Pokémon would be a year and a half after the Spirit Event. That's more than triple the gap between 3H and Byleth.
I'd totally be down for King Boo. Last Resort as a stage? A Spirit Board with E. Gadd, Gooigi, Polterpup, some bosses from LM1 and LM3, and Hellen Gravely? Sounds like we've got everything necessary for a pack to me.
Momotaro Densetsu for Smash!
That's what I expect basically. Byleth and Pyra/Mythra came with existing spirits too so that would make sense.
Shakira for Smash.
