Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but Centro Pokemon (a Spanish twitter that leaked a lot of info about SwSh and its DLC) has thrown its hat into the ring about what the next Pokemon game is:
Unlikely to have any bearing on Smash, but I still figured it was worth noting.

Krystal hasn't been in a Star Fox game in almost 15 years now.

...but here's the real kicker: Star Fox Zero is the only all new Star Fox game we've gotten period since the (almost) 15 years since Command.

Now isn't that sad?
All 20 F-Zero fans, myself included, who haven’t seen a new game since the 2000s: “First time?”

And to think we were talking about this the other day.

We did it! We willed it into existance!

You call that a new game?

I call it the fourth version of the original SNES game :^)

It kind of sounds like Activision really wanted to crossover Crash Bandicoot with Mario in the cartoon.

Wouldn't be the first time it "Sorta" happened.

View attachment 299315View attachment 299316

While the fallout of the cartoon could go both ways, But if anything it really shows Activision is trying to market and push the Crash Bandicoot franchise and if not through a cartoon then hopefully they can have Crash meet Mario through another avenue, Perhaps Smash?
I actully really enjoyed the last two Skylander games. Plus, a game with Bowser, DK, Crash, Cortex, and Spyro? Sign me the **** up.

Would you be disappointed because you feel these characters are unlikely to get in?

I can understand being disappointed if you don't like the characters but when it's not for liking the character's chances that's a bit weird.
No. I don't like the characters nor do I think they're likely to get in since they don't have many distinguishing features over other characters.

God I hope they add Lucario.

Bubsy has had more new games in the last 4 years than Star Fox, Advance Wars, and F-Zero have had in the last 13 years.
That's the most sobering post I've seen all day.

No surprise, But still really excited about it, Definitely a day 1 buy for me, Can't wait to return to Sinnoh region.

But I still sure do hope that sometime in the near future that we do eventually get a "Let's Go Johto" game.

Wouldn’t You Like To Know?
So I asked Gamefaqs this question, and the responses were mixed on it (which I expected) so I want to ask you guys too

How would you feel (as in your personal opinions) if these were the Final 3 characters?

Scorpion
Shadow
Elma

It's my prediction list, and Since I know the characters on this list aren't really considered to be the Front runners of the pass, and the Former Two are considered to be almost impossible at times, I thought the opinions would be interesting, especially if for some reason this did turn out to be the pass?
I’m fine with this. The only one that really excites me is Scorpion, since hes one of the few “No way Nintendo has the balls to put x in” characters left (I also just like MK but thats besides the point).
Don’t care much for Shadow, my childhood Sonic games were the classics so Shadows not a character I have much of a connection to.
Elma is a character I know by name and appearance, never played Xenoblade due to my distaste towards RPGs (Earthbound is one of the few exceptions).
Out of curiosity, what makes you lean towards Shadow specifically? Seems like Eggman has him beat with being a bigger character and way more iconic.

Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
Confusion more than anything. I can`t think of a single reason she would be added. I get that some fans want her, but I just don`t get why. Doesn't she come from the most maligned Star Fox game?
Yes, but Krystal herself seems to be a well liked character, and she's had other appearances to the point where she'd be a major character if they stopped hitting the reset button on the story.

Why do we need a 4th Star Fox character anyways?
We don't, but that's not really a good justification for not adding any given character. Like, we don't need another Super Mario character to properly represent the series, or any new The Legend of Zelda character, or another Kirby character, but that doesn't mean that they would outright be a bad edition.

Isn't the Star Fox series pretty much stagnant at this point?
I wouldn't say stagnant so much as floundering. Kinda like the Sonic series, except less popular and less wildly different between entries. Still, it's not really relevant to a Smash inclusion.

Krystal hasn't been in a Star Fox game in almost 15 years now.

...but here's the real kicker: Star Fox Zero is the only all new Star Fox game we've gotten period since the (almost) 15 years since Command.
Which is exactly why she hasn't appeared in 15 years; they hit the reset button again and now she doesn't exist yet.

Poor Star Fox. You try so hard, and get so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter.

He likes Shadow.

In fact, this is the latest in one of many thinly-veiled schemes to get this thread to talk about Shadow.

So hes trying to create Shadows role in Smash with science?
Reminds me of Robotnik.
I think it's the same reason I lean towards Nightmare; he just likes the character :p
Speaking of which, can we get some Nightmare support in here? One of the best designs in fighting games period.

Why hide it when those schemes work every time?

This is the post of a person of culture right there 👍

The fact that both of these sentences are not only from the same user on the same day, but also the very same post amuses me :4pacman:

Dr. Eggman would be a neat Sonic addition (though I'd question why they didn't go with a Puyo Puyo, Yakuza, or SMT character instead).
Thanks for the misquote. Appreciate it.

You still denied 7NATOR's Shadow prediction as "questionable" while saying Eggman would be "neat"

Why have two different opinions on different characters on the same series when you'd think both of them would have the same roadblock of "why go for another Sonic rep when they could go for a different one?"

Especially when Sega themselves have already given out a bigger diversity when it comes to how many franchises has playable characters than any other third-party with Sonic, Bayonetta and technically Joker due to owning Atlus, so it's not like they haven't taken stuff from other IPs already.

I'd get it if Sonic already had two or three characters right now, but it's just Sonic, so I don't see the harm in adding a new one.

If DLC is still rolling out when this comes out (I guess November?) we'll get a few spirits, something like Gigantamax Lucario or stuff like that. We already have a Gen IV rep in Lucario so I don't think we'll get a Pokémon in this pass.

Oh huh Sinnoh remakes for real? Can't wait to explore the postgame Battle Islands that are now just tie-ins to Pokemon Cafe Mix. Rumours say that if you save in Fallarbor and you have to use Pokemon Sleep to encounter Darkrai (OK I started out being sarcastic but that last part would be kind of cool but let's just be real, Darkrai will be handed out via a GameStop event in the middle of the pandemic).

Bonus points if Distortion Hallway is real.

So in the hypothetical scenario that Krystal is added, what'd the pack be like? What games would be represented, what tracks would be added, what would her moveset be, etc.?

You seem pretty optimistic. Though I wouldn't mind a Cafe Mix tie-in: I played that for a bit and I enjoyed it, though I got stuck on a level and ended up dropping it.

I am memeing but I'm pretty pessimistic about Sinnoh remake. It's going to be really predictable that the postgame will be lacking, Dynamaxing is somehow going to be shoehorned into the game so they can milk it once more before they ditch it for idk whatever the next gimmick will be, Uber Berries? I don't expect the Distortion World to make any sort of meaningful appearance and I genuinely believe it will just be a glorified hallway you get to visit once in the postgame, the modern exp share will probably be forced on you and the game will not be balanced around that face (I mean personally I never had trouble with Platinum at all minus literally just the final boss) but you know, I like freedom of choice in my gameplay and not to be babied.

The only redeeming factor will be the fact that Glameow will be available to be caught in the wild reliably again.

If Krystal ever shows up in a proper Star Fox game again your heads are gonna spin at how fast her popularity skyrockets back to Brawl levels.

Of course that'd require actually getting a proper Star Fox game.
Considering she’s still got one of the more active threads in here... yeah I agree.
