On second thought, someone in a Discord server I'm in claims they share a server with this dataminer and can confirm they're s***posting. Not to mention the SSBU Modding server hasn't said anything about this.
Plot twist its Spyro and he comes with Crash as the fighter after.
wait so the slots thing he was talking about is bunk too or?
Well...Dante's Inferno does imply flames.
Nah I told him to add Homura for ****s and giggles, the rest is legit
The slots thing is real, the codename is not.
Slots are real.
Ah, but you forgot something. Three Seven Speedway in Daytona USA is named for its slot machine.
Casinos were the theme of the first area a certain Sonic character was playable in. Y'all asking for Tails and **** when Blaze is objectively the best Sonic character
DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOO DOOOOOOOOOO
Wayforward/BOZON is listed in the copyrights during the credits.
Damn even on the alternative Smash timelines Krystal fans get no respectAll this talk about characters related to slot machine levels
Why settle for that when Nintendo has a character that's literally just a slot machine
I don’t think relevancy in Japan is THAT important. Especially when dealing with a character that would make the west go crazy. If we were talking about someone more lowkey I’d understand. But Crash (as well as others like Chief & DoomGuy) are huge enough in the west to cancel out the Japanese audience being bored/confused. They didn’t care that Dragon Quest isn’t big in the west after all & the west is their biggest market.
Happy Easter our beloved fans 🖤

Recently we revealed something regarding Nintendo Switch. This picture may give you a better idea about what is going to happen.

that game's rated AO and to my knowledge the only digital market that allows AO games is Steam so it's most likely Nintendo was like "nevermind we can't allow this sorry"
While there is some consideration of the Japanese market (hence why Western popular characters often end up as base game selections like Little Mac & Ridley) part of it likely just comes down to communications/negotiations with Japanese companies (who have characters that appeal to that market) is just easier than do so with Western ones. Microsoft was a major exception and involved getting the main character for the most sold game of all time, hence being worth whatever effort was needed. I do think at least one other Western character still has a decent shot in the second pass, especially given Nintendo does have better relationships with such companies now.
The difference between Crash and someone like Doomguy is that Crash at least had a huge presence in Japan to the point where any recent success or lack of it won’t matter. I don’t think Doom has ever been that notable in Japan in terms of sales. Even Banjo-Kazooie used to have decent success in Japan. And Little Mac was a base roster addition, not DLC so there is that.
Actually, didn't they make a toned-down version with an M rating?
they did? i wasn't aware
Could they really not think of any other Sonic game to use other than the Olympic one? I get that Forces isn't everyone's cup of tea, but wouldn't Mania at least make a bit more sense?
Not to mention that Crash Bandicoot and to a lesser extent Spyro the Dragon are only ones in that trailer who have yet to make their Super Smash Bros debut.
Yeah, I definitely feel this apart of why we have minimal western characters so far. Another being that most of the Japanese third parties we’ve gotten so far are more popular than any western characters. That pool of huge Japanese characters is starting to dwindle, so it makes sense that they’ll delve into western sruff
I definitely feel that’s a point in Crash’s favor. But if DoomGuy’s support remains high & the new Doom games keep doing well, I don’t think that’d be too much of a problem. If there’s a high demand for the character in the west, I imagine that would negate any low Japanese sales.
I'd imagine all starters will be caught eventually as per usual, but with a quick check on Bulbapedia, Grookey has appeared exactly once in the anime (EDIT: and the appearance was incredibly minor), which furthers the notion that on the off chance that we do get a Galar starter, it ain't gonna be Rillaboom.
The weirdest part of this ad is that they pushed Crash and Spyro instead of Mario Odyssey and LM3. Especially Mario Odyssey, one of the switch's biggest games. I'm not going full tinfoil but this is a weird choice for the ad.
And its not even a case of going for recent games given they chose to highlight BotW over Link's Awakening.
Given Spyro's presence this is probably a Western thing. Don't look too much into it.
i guess that may also explain why no LM3 spirit event....
Its not a reading into it, its a weird choice. They advertise BotW as
LiveStudioAudience
so it would make sense to advertise the big Mario game or at least LM3. Wahoominati is too powerful someone stop it.
You'd think Next Level Games getting bought out would've saved it...
Yet Luigi managed to sneak his new Poltergust into base Smash.
