Dante had a cameo back in SMT Nocturne so it would make a great pairing together if they were to do a double reveal. In fact, that cameo appearance in Nocturne that happened was what caused the "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series" meme.
Feels nice to have characters from more side characters from Mario games other than SMB3, World and the most recent release in a game.
Knuckles being based on Falcon and Waluigi on Terry is amazing lol.
Thought it also had something to do with their demon hertiages as well no?
That was probably the original reason the cameo happened.
Kinda? Dante is the son of a demon and a human. Demi-fiend starts the game as a human and then gains a demon body.
It was why Dante was chosen but the crossover itself was like a marketing tactic to get people overseas interested. And Kaneko, the artist on Nocturne collabed on Dante and Vergil's Devik Trigger designs in DMC 3. Crossovers like that rarely happened back in the day so it was a treat that I kinda wanna see happen in 5 lol. Imagine SMT V featuring Travis from the No More Heroes series.
I was thinking Bayonetta for a new SMT crossover to be honest, I think she would fit better than Travis, though seeing him reacting to the demons and all the madness you can find in a SMT game would be very cool.
Surprise, then amusement, then appreciation that he'd be the first black character in Smash that isn't an alt for someone else.

Very cool mod.
Ah yes the episode where those idiots insisted Bayonetta had human-durability despite being able to headbutt a skyscraper with ease and concluded Dante won because he was fast enough to cut raindrops which was from a cinematic cutscene. The fact they also overrated his regeneration to Deadpool's level. Impressive regeneration yes but nowhere close to that level. Shot in the forehead and stabbed through the chest impressive yes, come back when Dante can survive being completely decapitated or capable of regenerating limbs.Or just make this the trailer
Dante VS Bayonetta | DEATH BATTLE!
DEATH BATTLE is back with a match made in heaven! From Devil May Cry and the Umbra Witches! These supernatural warriors enjoy slaying angels and demons in th...
Ganondorf, Game and watch, and melee sheik are all "black." It's odd with sheik too but she definitely isnt light skinned in her first smash outing.
I don’t remember that about Sheik. She always looked white to me but it’s been a while since I saw her Melee model.
I’ve definitely got to get around to modding Ultimate some day. I had such a blast with Brawl but I’m a little worried now with Nintendo’s increased security. I don’t want to screw something up and get banned.
Well, Ganondorf and Sheik are Gerudo and Hylian pretending to be a Sheikah, respectively, none of which are part of the normal human species, and thus I don't think they qualify as being part of any real-life human race. As for Game & Watch, we don't know.
For Elma, since her tan-skin form is just a robot body, and that her original body has pale skin, I'd say she isn't truly black.
Now here's my question: Would you classify Rodin as truly black? He's not a human, he's a fallen angel turned demon. On the other hand, his angel form does retain traits of an African human (something that his demon form did not do, which is what started my unsureness of whether or not he's truly black).
If you have to put it in quotation marks is it really the same thing
I put it in quotes because I'm aiming at identifying skin tones over calling someone black.
doc louis could be cool,tbh that's another reason Steve was one of my most wanteds. just a normal black character on the CSS.
Yeah but neither Sheik nor Ganondorf is black or "black". I agree Ganondorf isn't white, but black isn't a catch-all for everything that isn't white. The original comment wasn't looking for characters who weren't white, it was looking for characters who were black, and I agree, outside of alts, we don't have that yet.
If we get more ARMS characters in the next game, Twintelle's one of my top choices.
bro Steve is the epitome of black by default
I stand by what I said. Default "black" characters are Ganondorf, melee sheik, and Game and Watch. Ganon is a gerudo sure, but in our world he is definitely a person of color. He hails from a desert. And if having a title such as Mister doesnt count someone as a person, idk what will. Whether they're gerudo,Indian, or literally an amalgamation of animations that default to the color black, they're all people of color.
You're using black and PoC interchangeably here... those aren't the same thing.
Min Min is also Chinese, our first one in Smash.
Yeah they are. People of color. Someone who isn't pale white, even though that's a color. Either way I was right.
Jak and Daxter for me.
No they aren't. Black is a race, PoC is an umbrella term for people who aren't white. People who are black are PoC, but not everyone who is a PoC is black. For example, ethnically Indian people are PoC, but they're not black.
I don’t think it’s that unlikely. I mean, when Cloud joined he was essentially viewed as a Sony rep, but if I had my pick, then I’d say any of their Ps2 era mascots would be perfect; Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, or Ratchet & Clank.
Bro if you used Game & Watch as an example of a black character in Smash on ResetEra, you'd be banned into oblivion lol
A little too late but uhh, are you joking? That's not nice to call someone an idiot when you still doubting that rain-slicing cutscene as not canon.
No, you can be a person of color without being black, you can't be black without being a person of color. PoC is ANY non-white race, not just black people.
