Even though atlus is owned by sega Nintendo themselves don’t treat it that way since the trademark for persona on the smash website and game is just Atlus and not sega which makes a 2nd official sega rep more likely
No, that's what you said. If you want to stop replying, then don't. But I have no intention of letting you spout nonsense without commenting.
Yes, one of the best games, on Nintendo's least successful console ever
Yeah the only way it could win a popularity contest would be if said contest was directly related to one of the other flagship titles of that console. Good thing for your argument that wasn't the case.

Dude Gangnam Style in Smash would absolutely rule. In fact I'd be okay with Smashing along to a worryingly high amount of pop songs from Just Dance.
I mean, Atlus is now owned by Sega. So technically Sega owns Persona.
Yeah that’s my mistake. Didn’t realise I put official 2nd rep. Was meant to put official 3rd rep. My apologies
Actually, it's always felt weird to me that Platinum isn't in the copyright section on smash's title screen and trailers, since I was under the impression that they owned the games and Sega / Nintendo just published them, so Platinum would be the copyright holders for Bayonetta. I could be wrong though.
I guess they could have added Platinum to the copyright section, but they never owned Bayonetta as far as I know, it has been always owned by Sega. They overall own the IP, so they can put Bayonetta 1 anywhere (it's on PS4 and PC, for example). But Bayonetta 2 was funded by Nintendo and they probably secured the rights of the game. Same case, I guess, with Bayonetta 3.
If that's the case, it's pretty weird that they aren't there but ATLUS is, since they're just a subsidiary now. I guess it's because Persona's been around since way before Sega bought ATLUS, and ATLUS operates completely independently most of the time.
Would a mobile game be smaller? Because I'm putting my bets on Euden.
You're probably fighting a losing battle.
It's been downloaded at least as many times as Xenoblade 2 has been bought.
Yeah, I think I just don’t care enough to seriously argue about anything Smash related. I love the game but I’m pretty accepting of almost everything. As far as the ballot is concerned, I think it all worked out well in the end so it seems like a waste to argue about it at this point.
Y’all know who I’m backing at this point
And why is that? I mean, Spring Man was almost in by default, and the decision for an ARMS character was up to Yabuki anyway. If Yabuki had wanted Spring Man, what would have happened? Would the universe have collapsed in on itself?
Popularity means nothing when you're talking about "how big" a title is, because visible popularity only goes as far as however many people have actually bought the game. Xenoblade 2 being more popular than ARMS doesn't make ARMS a less recognizable or smaller choice, because more people bought and experienced ARMS than Xeno 2.
Octoling would be pretty cool! Off the Hook - and by extension, partially an Octoling - would be an especially good idea for the sake of avoiding the derivative stigma that matters a fair bit for a fighter you have to pay for.Y’all know who I’m backing at this point
my little babies
don’t have much hope for Elma if any cuz well… Pyra and Mythra
I think that in the alternate timeline that Yabuki wanted Spring Man, the assist trophy simply becomes Springtron when Spring Man is in the match. Smash has done this kind of thing all of the time, I never really got why people find the idea so out-there.
Those were relatively minor things. In Spring Man's case, you'd have to retroactively accomodate for a character who was already an AT.
I wouldn't be surprised if the announcement happened during the direct.
I meant in terms of "if Yabuki wanted Spring Man instead, would Sakurai have disagreed?". It seems pretty outlandish to think that Sakurai would outright deny a creator's wishes just because the character already has a presence within gameplay. Even if it was part of Yabuki's consideration, thinking that Sakurai enforced it on him feels almost dictatorial, which is ironic given how underpronounced Sakurai's control is over DLC.
There are still a lot of first party characters I’d be excited for although I don’t know how likely most of them are. Here are a few examples:
Okay, but what exactly does that entail? The main idea I’ve seen is Springman is either replaced by Springtron or just turned off when Springman is in play.
Mostly trying to temper my expectations. Nothing more, nothing less. Since we have spirit fighters and we havent had an upgraded assist trophy in the same game, I am trying to be careful.
My point is that we almost already had it happen. It doesn't matter if we haven't had it happen yet, that proves that there's no such rule that says it cannot happen.
Or they'd just temporarily disable it. Why would they make an all new model for that? Especially when Springtron makes more sense as an alt costume. A far better use of resources. It takes less time and coding to disable it(if that's even necessary) while Spring Man is playable. Alts or otherwise. Basically, there's nothing that's actually needed to be done beyond a tiny snippet of coding. They already do this in the game alone, and would repeat it again. Rerigging an entire model like that is a lot of extra work for zero pay-off. Besides that, it's a fan rule, not some logical rule. It assumes Sakurai would go out of his way to waste resources for, basically, no pay-off. As I said, the model is better spent on an alt. Or, like Min Min, just pure recolors of Spring Man and that's it. Springtron would've been an obvious Spirit though.
It's not even a character in fiction(a species is an actual character in a story by design). I don't know what people expected here. There's some pretty awkward character threads, but this one is a location that is quite clearly not alive or even almost close to. I admit there's some weird ones that are more debatable, but this one was honestly a very expected outcome.
most likely something not associated with Nintendo usually if Kazuya is any indication
I don't even think they'd go through the trouble of trying to find a replacement for the ATs. They'd just turn them off, like they do when the ATs interfere with a stage's cameos and/or mechanics.
It's a metaphor for the series.
