I think I just figured out what bothers me about it. It's this weird fusion between his Mega Man X and Mega Man Z designs so it feels a lot like an entirely different character from the Mega Man X I'm used to looking at.
I'm not particularly fussed about which Capcom character gets in but if I had to choose I'd go with Dante, Wesker and Chun Li.
Since this list is sorely lacking in Phoenix, I've gotta go with Ammy, easily.
Why would that need to be officially stated? As far as I remember nothing like this was ever said about fighter pass one, or the ultimate base roster, or smash4 dlc.
I've wanted Zero for a while, so definitely him. That said, I'd love both Nero and Palico. Palico would just fit Smash well and it would be fun to have a long range grappler in Nero.
Do you mean his ZX design? in Z he's got robes. Weirdly my favorite design for the guy.
No. It's like the Mega Man X design as the base, and then they added Mega Man Z's digital halo and some other stuff.
Okay. After Googling it I see what you mean. I was just going off the picture in this thread, so I wasn't seeing it.
Was there an official announcement that fan favourite characters would be added before all those characters were announced?Not true,were all stated to be in due to fan demand.
Banjo & Kazooie, Wolf, Snake, Ice Climbers, King K. Rool, Shovel Knight, Inklings and Isaac were all examples of commonly requested characters during 2015.
I don't believe so, other than the ballot which was pretty vague in its own way. The idea of fan demand had been brought up in interviews when talking about certain characters, so it at least was something they were thinking about.
It was stated on the Smash Ballot that it may be used for future titles and K. Rool, the Belmonts and Ridley were cited to be influenced from that.
In addition, BK was also cited to be in due to fan demand.

Checked in with Lloyd's thread, apparently the gist of it is that the Tales anniversary celebration is getting stretched out over two years instead of just one. The real announcements are in the March stream. Presumably, it was delayed because of COVID.
Yeah, a Smash reveal there would mean that the hypothetical Tales rep was swapped with Sephiroth during development.
Right, characters were revealed to be included due to fan demand after their initial inclusion. Sakurai didn’t tell people a fan demanded character would be included prior to their inclusion to spare us from the sheer shock of it. Also this is a future smash title...
Good question, actually. I'll have to check on that one.
People aren't saying that there's going to a smash reveal in the stream, it's more of a possibility of a Sakurai Presents happening around that event much like with Steve's presentation coinciding with Minecon.
It would still imply that the Tales character was swapped with Sephiroth during development, which is unlikely.
I'd list it in the Crypt of the Necrodancer tracklist, but allow the Cadence of Hyrule songs to be played on The Legend of Zelda stages.
Yeah, the only times we've had Smash reveals happen in non-Nintendo streams are Joker and Sephiroth, both at the Game Awards, which are pretty darn big. If Steve's anything to go by, in this scenario they'd announce a Tales rep in advance and then add "We'll be covering this fighter in more detail just before the Tales 25th anniversary stream!" at the end.
Why would it imply that exactly?
Because the livestream itself was delayed due to COVID.
I'm just saying it would be weird to tie a global video to a regional event that the global audience can't also enjoy. I suppose it could happen, but it would feel a little alienating to anyone who would stick around to check it out.
Oh was it meant to be done before The Game Awards? Well at least that makes sense, though it wouldn't be impossible for Nintendo to decide to take advantage of the delay in this way (rather than delaying the character itself) so I still wouldn't say that it would be an impossibility.
That would be Oichi from Sengoku Basara, Capcom's own take on the Warriors-style games. Apparently she is one of the most popular characters from that game.
Yeah. It would be weird for Sakurai to do something like this, as it would alienate anyone who doesn't understand Japanese.
That's the Series that has that Vergil Expy isn't it
Interesting... As someone who`s not really super familiar with Tales, I`m wondering if something like this could hinder a potential Tales Smash release. I`m not sure though considering Tales does seem to have a thriving enough English fanbase, from my understanding at least.
It’s... fairly popular. At least Symphonia and Vesperia have near-mainstream levels of popularity. The others... they’re mostly confined to Twitter and social media sadly. The US has seen three Tales gacha games, two of which sadly have shut down.
