Psst, remember: Smash shills Fire Emblem.

We'll get Itsuki soon enough... ;)
Im

actually unironically cool with Itsuki, we’d get some absolute BOPS.

I actually modded Reincarnation into my Smash Wii U back in the day... along with Uncontrollable in Gaur Plain, Volcanic Rim on Suzaku Castle, Theme of Captain Falcon on Port Town Aero Dive, and Twister Gang Mix on Midgar

or Pokemon.
Splatoon: “am I a joke to you?”

I mean if Xenoblade 2 got Pythra long after the Rex costume... besides technically the Squid Sisters are for the first Splatoon, 2 (and Octo Expansion) need more representation and what better way than with the smol veemos

I just realized something: the Felyne Mii hat is the first form of representation FromSoftware has gotten in Smash. It's based on the design of the main character from the MH spinoff they made on 3DS/PSP.

Now I’m kinda lowkey expecting a Dark Souls Spirit Event... hopefully after a new Namco rep

Also random concept

What if Assist Trophies got updates? Like Spring Man could randomly be Springtron instead when summoned, or Squid Sisters could have a random chance of Off The Hook appearing instead

I still think the lack of Undertale spirits is suspicious but maybe that's just me and my crazy mind. Maybe the Sans costume was testing the waters and we'll get a full pack this round. Would kinda fit the "another chance" vibe as well.

though I'd prefer Frisk instead of Papyrus with some sort of kill/not-to-kill moveset or something.

New topic: What Mii costumes would people here like to see as DLC (they don't have to be part of any fighter pack or be related to them)? My picks would be:

Brawler:
Rouge the Bat
Freddy Fazbear
Bubsy

Swordfighter:
Imperial from Etrian Odyssey 4
Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy 8
Kam'lanaut from Final Fantasy 11
Star Fox Adventures Krystal
Demise from Zelda: Skyward Sword
Yuri Lowell (assuming he isn't added to the roster himself)
Prince Peasley (from Mario & Luigi)

Gunner:
Star Fox Assault Krystal

Standalone Hats:
Straw Hat (can't believe a basic piece of apparel like that hasn't returned; now I can't make accurate Luffy Mii Fighters. >_< )
Cat Ears

That Spring Man part would have been a perfect way to add the guy as a fighter despite him already being an Assist Trophy.

Dragon Quest 8 and Eight were made by Level 5, therefore there's Level 5 content in Smash
Fans: Doesn't count.
Felyne Hat Mii costume is from a game made by From Software, therefore there's From Software content in Smash
Fans: Awesome. It's all coming together.

Part of me just wants all the ones they dropped from Smash 4's base game to come back. I'm stuck with Nia's hair on my Catgirl OC.

So you're telling me that Mr. "AND THE REASON IS, I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!" has a chance?

While I think Frisk could potentially have the more interesting moveset. I absolutely would not say no to Papyrus.

Also I'm still of the theory that the final Challenger Pack or a Bonus character could be Undertale because I imagine that the Sans Mii costume made a lot of dough.
You don’t think literally any Mii costume or character they could possibly add WOULDN’T make a lot of dough? Not sure why people are so fixated on the unrealistic idea that they’d add a playable Undertale character. Be appreciative that they even did the Mii costume in the first place

Cat Ears
Brawler:
Monokuma (with a Danganronpa Medley song WITH BETTER MIXING THAN BOTH XENOBLADE 1 AND 2 MEDLEYS PLEASE)
Ori (with Restoring The Light, Facing The Dark as a song. PLEASE PLAY ORI🥺)
Rayman (hey if Creeper is limbless...)
Nero (DMCV incarnation, comes with Devil Trigger. Note that it’s NOT Dante so he could come later...)
Lora (Xenoblade 2 Torna. Spirit but no costume? It was obvious! Come on!)
Shantae if she isn’t chosen as playable
Sho Minamimoto (possibly included with a playable Neku)
Kunio-kun (River City; maybe tweak the spirit to include his costume a la Cuphead)

Swordfighter:
The Knight from Hollow Knight (Sealed Vessel remix included)
Jecht (Final Fantasy X, comes with Otherworld)
Nightmare (yeah sorry to his fans)
Raiden (Metal Gear Rising Revengeance; no song cause FERRY CORSTEN?? Haha good luck licensing his **** he’s a big name)
Purple Heart (Hyperdimension Neptunia; if they can adjust Tifa’s boobs for a Mii they can adjust Purple Heart’s)
Marina (Off the Hook; her “sword” is an umbrella)
Crono (Seven Squares... and sora’s either playable or bust IMO. In this situation, the latter.)

Gunner:
Gunvolt if he isn’t playable (include at least one Gunvolt song tho...)
Pearl (Off the Hook, her gun looks like a solo Dualie. Could also be Brawler)
Doom Slayer (Master Chief is playable or bust IMO but since Vault Boy’s also a costume they may compromise with a Slayer Mii. My preferred Bethesda rep is Dragonborn anyway)
Tracer (Overwatch)
Lara Croft (cause eh why not. I prefer Neku as a fourth SE rep anyway)

Would be cool if Papyrus was a Mii swordfighter but I think Sans is all we're getting for Undertale content.

When I first saw the mii hat, I legit thought they just didn't bother giving it proper eyes and just stuck Mii eyes onto it.

While we’re on this topic, I’d like to ask everyone - assuming future Smash installments cut no characters, what characters do you think are shoe ins for the next Smash title that likely missed their chance as ultimate dlc?
Akira Howard, Dixie Kong, Spring Man, Waluigi

The Sans Mii Costume came with Banjo. FP2 was decided a little after Terrys reveal right?

Given how close together both of those events were. The small fan theory an Undertale Rep was reconsidered after Sans sold well doesn’t work very well.

Akira Howard, Elma (especially if XCXDE happens by then), Octoling if they don’t make it now, Dixie Kong, Mecha-Fiora as an Elma echo with drones instead of guns (they recognized her enough to put her in Shulk’s Final Smash in vanilla Ultimate), MAYBE Black Shadow if F-Zero makes a comeback by then, either Bandana Dee, Adeline or Susie; Medusa as a Palutena Echo, Neku Sakuraba, Reimu Hakurei if she doesn’t happen now, Arle (with maybe a Tee echo) if they don’t happen now, LoL rep if they don’t happen now, KOS-MOS with a T-elos echo if she doesn’t happen now, Crash if he doesn’t happen now. Maybe also Dragonborn, Sol Badguy and Asuka a Marvelous character cause of the Vault Boy costume and Kunio/DXM spirits in Ult; could be part of negotiations for the next game

And idk why but I’m also feeling an Apex Legends character. Probably Wraith, the poster girl

oh yeah. Also Kyo Kusanagi.

Capcom Reps
Monster Hunter, Dante, RE Rep, Phoenix Wright, ect. Capcom didn’t get a single Rep this entire DLC. Despite the fact they’ve been supporting Smash super hard. All of these characters are fan requested to hell and back. Please Nintendo.

Indie Reps
Reimu, Sans, Shantae, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, ect. Indie gaming is completely unused in terms of fighters. Its a little disappointing.

Since we're going back to discussing a potential Smash 6, I got a thought: How likely would Sakurai be to work on it? I think it'd be VERY unlikely.

And assuming he doesn't return, that could mean that his rule against characters that didn't originate from video games might no longer apply. With that said, how likely would Smash 6 be to include non-game characters like Son Goku or Spongebob Squarepants (keep in mind, this doesn't take into account whether or not anyone wants that to happen, nor does it take into account whether or not it should happen)?

im telling you, you all are sleeping on style savvy, it's getting another game soon so there would be a marketing pick there.

nah, I feel like Smash won't have non video game characters even without Sakurai.

at the absolute most we would get someone like Ash Ketchum, but yeah, Spongebob and Goku are never happening.

Pretty sure Sakurai will return. Hes still not retired, makes good money, and loves his job.

If he doesn’t return though, I still see the no 4th party rules holding up. As whoever succeeds Sakurai likely isn’t gonna toss out one of his few concrete rules for the roster.

And if we do somehow get 4th parties on the table. Gojira or bust don’t @ me.

Hmmmm, even if it's not likely even with those circumstances, I wouldn't say "never." I'd say there'd be at least a 0.0000001% chance of that happening, even if it won't happen until 3 decades later.

  • Akira Howard
  • A Pokemon from the current Gen at the time.
  • A Capcom rep (Most likely Phoenix if he doesn't appear in Ultimate)
  • Dixie Kong
  • Octoling

Oh, since we were on the topic of Touhou yesterday: Gensou Skydrift got into a few indie release spotlight videos. I know it's on the Switch, but is it out already? I think this is a good time as any to ask the resident Touhou people about what counts as a "real spinoff" for Touhou.

im telling you, you all are sleeping on style savvy, it's getting another game soon so there would be a marketing pick there.
Honestly? As much as I'd like it for the sheer shock value, I don't think SS has a shot. Especially not with the direction first party DLC has taken so far. TH, ARMS and XC2 weren't just recent games, they were recent games that Nintendo promoted the hell out of (even if they dropped the ball with ARMS post-release) and all of them did decently well at the very worst.

I don't see the same treatment happening for SS unless Sakurai deliberately chose them. Otherwise, there's a few more likely options, even if we get into a hypothetical third Volume.

If Undertale was owned by a big company I'd agree, but It's nature as an india actually helps here. Instead of months of negotiations with another company, you just need Toby Fox (who is a big Smash fan) to say yes.

You don’t think literally any Mii costume or character they could possibly add WOULDN’T make a lot of dough? Not sure why people are so fixated on the unrealistic idea that they’d add a playable Undertale character. Be appreciative that they even did the Mii costume in the first place
Some of the other Mii Costumes probably did well, but not "the main topic of discussion on the internet for a month" like Sans was. None of the other costumes drowned out the release of one character and the reveal of another.
