To be fair, Palu, Corrin, and Bayo are fully-fledged fighters and the team would have to be prepared to run through different interpretations if something doesn't work. Mai would just be a randomly-decided stage cameo, and I don't think she'd get as much priority in this situation
Yep. But it's very possible they could come with another Capcom rep that isn't a Monster Hunter rep.
Ah.
True, but I doubt they come in separate updates.
MAKE IT HAPPEN SAKURAI!
Why I'm thinking among the final 3 is a Capcom rep.
Those aren't every single Metal Slug song in existence, it's odd that one of SNK's bigger franchises would get such tiny representation, and they can even use Ikari team themes from KoF if they want.
I'm mainly pulling for Chun-Li or Phoenix Wright. I wish it would be Zero though even though he's Assist Trophy.
And it's possible that they could come with a non-Capcom character.
Thats what I’m hoping for. I’m with Phoenix till the end. Kinda like how we got the Geno costume with Sephiroth.
I'd worry about Zero and X being Mii costumes more tbh, unless they have plans to help Mega Man's representation include more X content.
They'll probably also come with the supposed Capcom rep as with Monster Hunter.
True, true. Though, I wouldn't say Capcom or Namco is just out yet. Until we see FP10 which will finally anwser that question if the next character isn't a Namco rep or Capcom rep.
We’re definitely not getting another SNK character. But if we did it’d be Kyo. He’s the face of the King of Fighters series & was strangely absent from the Mii costumes.
They were already released. The only hope they really have is if the lack of an X stage/Maverick spirits/more than 3 songs from the X series is something they want to fix.
That seems to be because Sakurai's more of an Iori fan. Besides, Metal Slug has less content than KoF.
Yeah, Lloyd could fill that niche. He wouldn't be someone who got in primarily through fan support like Banjo, what with how big Tales is, but if there isn't any other major "fan-favorites" like, say, Isaac, I think we could count him as one.
Regarding Bamco, a sword fighter overall whether it'd be Yuri or Nightmare is wait to be seen.
Yes, Peregrine Falcon Squad for Smash! Marco, Eri, Tarma, Fio, Trevor, Nadia, Ralf, Clark: one for every alt!
Yeah... But CERO is more controlling than the ESRB from what I've heard.
I’m willing to bet it’s the latter personally
Krystal (Like if they wanted they could have put her in her suit when she joined StarFox)? Phosphora? And those are just assists.
Their not as open as Mai is.
I feel like the point he was trying to make was that using ESRB measurements is pointless since CERO is much more bloodthirsty.
Misunderstood then, thought you meant the whole CERO thing as a whole.
Yeah, I think we're taking that comment a bit too seriously. Mai's an extremely fanservicey character with very little coverage-Especially in taboo areas-Who would've been a cameo anyways. She might not have been worth the effort to try and redesign, and I feel like it's a bit shallow to shoot down someone like, say, Morrigan or 2B based on that. Not only are they much more covered-Closer to Bayonetta rather than Mai-They would be a fighter rather than a cameo, and the dev team would most likely work harder to make sure CERO would let them through
If one were to assume at least two more third parties, I'd guess Sega and Capcom feel like the frontrunners, followed by Konami and Namco as having decent chances, with the likes of Ubisoft, Bethesda, and Activision as the less probable wild cards.
No. Just certain characters like Mai who are really seen as over sexual in design.
I mainly see them trying to go for characters whose challenger packs can fill out notable gaps in their series' representation, like ARMS having no fighter, stage, or music, or FF having only two songs and no non-Cloud spirits. For example, GS has no new songs, stage, or fighter, and Mega Man X has barely anything as I've previously stated, while Mario has plenty of songs and spirits already.
they have like literal art festivals for Mai in Japan. she's pretty much a sex symbol and pop culture icon there so it wouldn't surprise me if they saw her as a Sacred Cow in that aspect
Yep - they were exclusive to the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam versions, respectively. (the character on the far right isn't GLaDOS, but it's one of the co-op robots from Portal 2. Having a playable GLaDOS would be great, though)
Honestly, it feels like a misogynistic dogwhistle. You see female characters get shot down for that ASAP despite having multiple depictions be perfectly fine in children's media, especially when it's used on characters who're less fanservicey than stuff already included in Ultimate
I somewhat agree with you. But I think if we are getting another Nintendo rep in this game that isn't Assist Trophy, it's going to be a 2nd Xenoblade rep like Elma or Rex & Pyra. Xenoblade has been hot since before the base game and it is one of the relevant Nintendo franchises missing a new rep in this game. Plus it's long overdue for a 2nd rep
Unfortunately, Bomberman was butchered and skinned to create his Mii Costume.
Because of the returning trend of Sm4sh Miis. They've all returned with only Monster Hunter and Lloyd left. I'm feeling those two are also gonna return coming with a Capcom rep and swordsman character/Namco rep.
Got it. I was wondering what that meant!When you see the Pac-Man iconit means I'm joking. Just giving you a heads up when you see other users use this icon.
