Then again, Byleth. Sakurai said he had someone else in mind.
Huh, don't remember that. I think the statement was that "Sakurai can't play favorites;" Could just be misremembering, though.
I'm intrigued as to who that someone else might be; who could it be?
Maybe one of the House Leaders?
Where did he says he had someone else in mind? Maybe someone needs to make a Sakurai interview compilation one of these days,
Say, which House Leader do you think is the least popular? I ask because I have a what-if to propose: If Sakurai picked the least popular House Leader as the 3H rep, do you think that one would become even more popular (such as more people playing that storyline)?
OK.
Probably Dorothea, since
Every time lol
Wolf's in all five Smash games baybee (and one Melee modder is working on Cloud in Melee).
.Gatekeeper.
Taking a guess and saying Dmitri? Edelgard's always struck me as the darkhorse due to her story and Claude seems like the likeable one, so he's got a lot of fans too.
But where's Mad Piano?
It would be Claude if FE Choose Your Legends poll is to be taken seriously. Edelgard was 1st for the females while Dimitri was 1st for males while Claude was 2nd. Dimitri is also extremely popular in Japan while Edelgard has more popularity outside of Japan. Despite that, Claude is still popular in his own right and I don't think alot would really dislike him if he got in Smash aside from the "Ugh, Fire Emblem" stans.
I guess my wording wasn't the best, when I said 2 very acclaimed games I was talking about Bayonetta 1 and 2. My bad.
Yeah I'm pretty certain that Edelgard would have been the choice, personally. I think I'd have liked it better that way too - more often than not I'll vouch for a fully fleshed out character over an avatar, and I tend to like characters who use really strong heavy weapons so I think an axe user would have been up my alley. I know Byleth already uses an axe for part of their kit but I digress.
Wolf is my favourite Star Fox character to play with.Wolf's in all five Smash games baybee (and one Melee modder is working on Cloud in Melee).
Also, the last character may not be as amazing of a pick as Mad Piano, but hey, Conker's a good inclusion in that mod. Never thought that they'd turn him into a ledge trapper, just like...
Oh.
Probably has something to do with him being the most explicitly unhinged.
I thought of a potentially cool moveset for Edelgard.
Isn't it like an alt character on Luigi or something? Like Metal Mario, Giant DK and Giga Bowser are for Mario, DK and Bowser respectively.
Mad Piano was always a joke, iirc.
Anyone who can figure out how to program in that ancient N64 source code to add whole characters to the game has my respect.
Golden Axe rep confirmed!
Maybe that could be a standalone DLC?
That reminds me that I’ve been thinking it might be fun to have a Gauntlet character. I don’t know how many of you played Gauntlet Legends on the N64 or Gauntlet: Dark Legacy on the GameCube but I had a fun time with them. I think it would be a nice touch to have the announcer comment “Yellow Warrior needs food badly” or “Green Wizard is about to die” when their health gets low. Not that it’s likely at all but it would be entertaining at least.
Edelgard: **** the Church and **** crests
I'm pretty sure Dimitri actually placed top 10 in a popularity poll in that Nintendo Dream magazine once. Sans also placed pretty high in there once.Wolf's in all five Smash games baybee (and one Melee modder is working on Cloud in Melee).

Not to say Dmitri doesn't have fans - he does - but he seems to be the least popular of the three.
And umm... maybe.Wait scratch that he doesn't have the axe and thus doesn't have the meme move Aymr. Nah.
Dimitri is my favorite house leader but I like all of them. Dimitri’s post time skip look and personality is awesome. He would have made for a great Smash character.
Right. You know, like how Captain Falcon had to incorporate all those racing mechanics.
Contra isn't a shmup. Shmups are games like Gradius, R-Type or Touhou.
Yes. And you're a monster for suggesting it.
Touche.
Imagine the one the others are telling you not to trust and the one who is interested in schemes and whatnot is the one who turns out to have the least amount of issues.
Yeah I was going to mention this... during Three Houses' release I think things were more tied, but with the time everything I've seen in terms of popularity was pretty clear: Dimitri is the most popular character of the game, or at least, the most popular lord.
That's the thing though. If Sakurai is willing to go all out for other third party characters, then it could be reasoned he would do the same for Tekken. I believe Nintendo/Sakurai simply don't want or care for characters that appeared in PSABR.
It’s in the same download, but hidden under Luigi instead of having a dedicated spot. This is more so because of the fact that Mad Piano is a “boss character“ that isn’t intended to be balanced, much like Giant DK, Metal Mario, and Giga Bowser, who are also hidden under other characters in the CSS in Remix.
