I thought you thought ATs have no chance. (yes i know you're most likely ****posting)
It's gonna be Lyn, and each alt is a different moveset with a different costume, with its own set of 8 colors.
You spelled Tiki wrong.
You're right. It's spelt Bernadetta Von Varley.You spelled Tiki wrong.
That’s a strange way to spell Anna.
Now that you mention it, I keep seeing people misspell "sword" with words like "lance" and "axe". Wonder what that's about...
Let's see, my top 10 would be:
i see no problem with working with decimals, the only problem is if we drop set's of ten we have to start rating them out of 0.17 or something.
Apparently they only communicate through binary.
Rhythm heaven and Porky at this point are just pipe dream and I never thought they had any chances to show as dlc in the first place. I still think they have 0 chance. Doom slayer was pretty much disconfirmed by Bethesda so I also have no hope for him (maybe he can still get a mii costume).
I much prefer Plush Theory. It narrows down the pool a lot more than I thought and makes for a strange yet weirdly captivating video.
Ayy I love this channel. Shame it seems like he hasn't uploaded in awhile.
I hope he does, man. The guy's the only "I talk about plush toys" person on youtube who doesn't come across as an absolute creep and actually puts in the research work.
Lloyd isn't that popular in Japan, it's only recently that he came in 4th place in a Tales of Popularity poll, which is, afaik, the highest he's ever placed.
As a Fire Emblem fan who started as a math major in college and switched to English, I don't know how to feel about all this.
Banjo-Kazooie already made it, so that leaves the following 9 characters:
That's for the Tales fanbase, though. What I'm curious about is how the Japanese Smash fandom feels about the Tales candidates. It's Nintendo's game, so I'd imagine they'd be looking at the fans of their own game, not Bandai-Namco's. So, do we have any polls from over there?
Personally, i rather don't have any of those two, thanks.
So at the very least, Lloyd would appeal to the Western Smash fanbase. Again, not 100% accurate, but it at least shows a decently large chunk of the fanbase. I think it's worth keeping in mind. Again, though, we'll have to see how the Japanese fans feel. Tagging A Ayumi Tachibana , since they seem to be pretty knowledgeable on the interests of the Japanese Smash fanbase.
That's the thing though. Are the DLC characters meant to appeal to US, or to people who are already into those franchises as an incentive to check out Smash? Sometimes sure you get overlap, but from a business standpoint, doesn't it make more sense to advertise to a group that "could" be roped in rather than the group already invested?
Actually, it makes more sense for Nintendo to pick the most popular Tales character, like they did with Cloud for Final Fantasy. You see, DLC helps bring in fans that wouldn't normally consider playing Super Smash Bros by bringing in a character they like, like with Cloud, Joker, Snake, Sonic, Ryu..pretty much any non-Nintendo character..They know Smash Fans would likely already have bought Smash and the Fighters Passes, they want to bring in more sales from outside their own fanbase.
I think Yuri is more likely but than again i prefer him over Llyod. but going by Japanese popularity Yuri wins easily, Symphonia is the biggest tales in the west but in japan it's Vesperia.
Well... It varies.
was a hot new release, with little Nintendo connections. His main demographic is the PlayStation's playerbase. heavily pushed DQ11S, especially in the West, but they also have massive Japanese appeal by virtue of being Dragon Quest was added because of the Western fanbase's extreme demand for him has appeal in places with strong arcade scenes like Japan and Latin America, but he's a smaller character than everyone else. He's likely added because SNK would be easy to get in touch with, both for Smash and for various ports are all from Switch games owned by Nintendo, and appeal to the Switch playerbase appeals to everyone, thanks to the sheer size of Minecraft filled in the gaps with FF7's representation. While it has a Switch port, FF7 is still mostly associated with the PlayStation for PlayStation, for hardcore Smash, for general Switch, for everyone, for Japan (With some push on the Switch's library as a bonus), and for a low-cost deal with legacy.The thing about Cloud is that he was unambiguously the most popular by a large margin. FF7 was a massive part of the Final Fantasy brand, while for Tales, it's more mixed. Symphonia really put the series on the map and is still the best-selling installment, Yuri is the most popular protagonist and Vesperia is on the Switch, Berseria is the most recent true release, etc. Cloud was also cited as being the most highly-requested Tales character for Smash; For Tales, that honor goes to Lloyd, even if Yuri's more popular in the context of Tales itself.
Sol Badguy: don't think will get in Ultimate, could see him make it in the future
I had neighbors who were Mexican immigrants, and they told me that Terry was EVERYWHERE in Mexico (and supposedly the rest of Latin America) because most people were too poor to own video games at home.
I'm still on the train that Terry was partially because of how much SNK contributed to the Switch in the early days. It's probably all of the above, if we want to be super accurate.
So Lloyd would appeal more to the smash fanbase while Yuri would appeal more to the Tales of fanbase.Well... It varies.
To simplify it,
The thing about Smash is that there's no end-all be-all criteria for being added. Different characters have different appeals, and the selection's pretty diverse as a result. Though, the way I see it, there's a decent amount of characters who appeal to Nintendo's audiences; Depending on how you look at it, the ratio's somewhere between 4/9 and 6/9. I feel that Nintendo would be inclined to go for their own fanbase regarding Tales rather than an outside fanbase, especially considering that Lloyd's had a decent flow of requests for a while (Including around the ballot days, which Nintendo would've seen).
The thing about Cloud is that he was unambiguously the most popular by a large margin. FF7 was a massive part of the Final Fantasy brand, while for Tales, it's more mixed. Symphonia really put the series on the map and is still the best-selling installment, Yuri is the most popular protagonist and Vesperia is on the Switch, Berseria is the most recent true release, etc. Cloud was also cited as being the most highly-requested Tales character for Smash; For Tales, that honor goes to Lloyd, even if Yuri's more popular in the context of Tales itself.
Yeah. It's just kind of whether they reach Banjo or Geno levels of appeal that will Determine if Tales gets a Fighter.
Yep, pretty much. Symphonia was a big game for the GameCube, and Lloyd stuck in the minds of Nintendo players. People saw Lloyd being pushed as the Tales rep, and contributed to that, thinking he was the main Tales guy. Meanwhile, the Tales fanbase did their own thing, and Yuri just became really popular with them.
I don't think a franchise that's alive and well needs that level of appeal, especially as Lloyd's been a consistently popular request since Brawl
