That's... not how microtransactions work.
tbh, you could get a good look at what is considered "iconic" by looking and processing a bunch of sales data, maybe track how frequent certain franchises are mentioned in non-smash/dedicated fanbase circles, etc. Although, I'm sure the major blockade is trying to find out what Sakurai and Nintendo considers "iconic." At that point, it'd end up being too much work just for video game speculation
And then there's trying to get universal standards for how high or low the data used must be until it becomes "iconic," as everyone will have different opinions on what that data means. At that point, you might as well try to punch a hole in a boulder with your bare hands.tbh, you could get a good look at what is considered "iconic" by looking and processing a bunch of sales data, maybe track how frequent certain franchises are mentioned in non-smash/dedicated fanbase circles, etc. Although, I'm sure the major blockade is trying to find out what Sakurai and Nintendo considers "iconic."

If someone wanted to do that the results would be interesting to look at, but even then it wouldn't be an exact science, because you'd also have to factor in things like how longstanding/recent a series is, whether the series has a rotating or static cast, periods of dormancy, if the series is eponymous with its lead, who the company positions as its biggest names/mascot, familiarity/affinity within demographics that are harder to gauge, the IP's presence outside of just games, etc.tbh, you could get a good look at what is considered "iconic" by looking and processing a bunch of sales data, maybe track how frequent certain franchises are mentioned in non-smash/dedicated fanbase circles, etc. Although, I'm sure the major blockade is trying to find out what Sakurai and Nintendo considers "iconic."

What a story, Mark.

You need to find a way to make Dragalia a meme (in a good way). There's a user on here that basically posts nothing but propaganda for their character, and they've done such a good job that one word will reveal exactly who it is.
Quick, someone propose a topic about Timesplitters!Evil Trapezium teach me your ways, o wise one...
At the end of the day, I'd say most characters thrown around in Smash context are notable enough to get in anyways. Measuring reasons why they should or could get in over some other character who also should get in is really all speculation kinda boils down to almost. "Iconic" is just too subjective and isn't even a Smash dealbreaker.
Yeesh, these waifu wars are getting ridiculous. And I'm saying that as someone who prefers Pyra...Well, Sakurai always did prefer Pyra.....
....for her combat ability, of course.
Yeah, why not pick both sides of Pythra? I personally think they're best as a two-in-one deal. <3

Always found Timesplitters to be a charming game, if Cortez gets in, a Monkey needs to be on his spirit board. Why? Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect seem to love them for reasons I am not sure of.
and feel reference heavy while and feel a bit generic (I know Sephiroth's was because he's The gaming boss, but at the very least one level should have involved Cloud).
Yeah, and Guy and Cody are from a beat-am-up. But I wouldn't say they aren't also fighting game characters.
I mean, I don't watch them, that's just not what I'm here for. But I'm not bothered by you posting them.
It should when we're talking about getting into Smash.
IIRC, Japan normally uses 24 hour notation
To add to this, there are none of the Japanese characters for AM or PM in the Tweet so I assume this is meant to be 24-hour notation. Also, from what I understand, generally, it would be 5:00 instead of 05:00 if it were 12-hour notation.
I know this is a few days late, but these are my two cents on the matter: Nintendo doesn't see a business opportunity to market an upcoming Scamco game by including any of their characters. I also feel Sakurai's response to adding Heihachi is a copout. The real reason Heihachi was passed on was due to his inclusion in PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. Nintendo and Sakurai most likely don't want a character that has already appeared in a Smash Bros. "ripoff" game.
Considering how Sakurai really likes going the extra mile for third parties to the point Simon references a dumb visual glitch and we have mining **** for Steve and an initial plan that made players able to port their Minecraft worlds, I'm pretty sure Sakurai genuinely wants to do something crazy with Tekken's limb system. If PSABR was a concern, that would no longer be the case as Sakurai used to be concerned about it with the addition of a hazard toggle in Smash 4. Now we have a hazard toggle.
In response to your first question, it looks to me, based on hours of operation each day if I am not mistaken, that it could be PM.I have a quick question:

According to the tweet Nintendo is planning network maintenance (specifically for the eshop) from 05:00 to 09:00 (4 to 8 in est times) and I'm not sure if the tweet is using 12 or 24 hour notation, as I read Japan uses both.
So would the tweet be referring to am or pm in the Japan Timezone?

Also classic mode should involve multiple references to the franchise, so far of our Pass 2 characters only
I would love to see Albel Nox or Nel Zelpher. Those characters introduced me to two of my all time favorite voice actors of all time in Crispin Freeman and Wendee Lee. They were both great characters otherwise as well.
Ah, so that's going to be our "Dharkon gets oneshot from behind" trailer fighter.How would everyone feel if Tabuu was either that Bonus fighter that was theorized or a DLC character?
I think Tabuu would make for a really cool bonus fighter. It would be great to have an actual Smash rep in the game and he makes more sense than Master Hand to be a playable character. I might not make him paid DLC so people wouldn’t feel let down if they wanted content from other series instead.How would everyone feel if Tabuu was either that Bonus fighter that was theorized or a DLC character?
Bu-b-but the panties Rie...The panties, CERO will never allow it no matter how much censorship...
I would be so happy.How would everyone feel if Tabuu was either that Bonus fighter that was theorized or a DLC character?
At this point, I'm half ready to sacrifice one of the last two DLC characters if it meant that I wouldn't see people talking about women's undergarments every time I open this thread.Bu-b-but the panties Rie...The panties, CERO will never allow it no matter how much censorship...
That design does cover the panties (the Honor of Kings one)Bu-b-but the panties Rie...The panties, CERO will never allow it no matter how much censorship...
Comedy is dead and we've found the murderer.
Give him the powers of Master Core so he can use the Master Beast's crunch move as his Forward Smash. That'd be awesome.How would everyone feel if Tabuu was either that Bonus fighter that was theorized or a DLC character?
Elon Musk confirmed for Smash.
And yet the two succubi in Darkstalkers have stockings and high heels, one of them being a Hermaphrodite (that being Lilith), which means she's already suited to be in Smash. I don't see how that's a problem.Bu-b-but the panties Rie...The panties, CERO will never allow it no matter how much censorship...
Yeah but unlike Mai, they're completely covered. Only skin expose is their cleavage that can easily be censored which CERO seems to have no issue with aside from exposed undergarments.
I'd be... conflicted.
Is this real, from what I've seen most of her depiction doesn't have anything down there when she's literally wearing a tight clothing.
