The Tier Names were already comedic, so I felt like making a joke about how ARMS's Second Best Quality (First being the incredibly interesting Lore), the Female Character Design by also making a joke about Min Min BARELY being Legal (she's 18)
I'd honestly be terrified to see a girl really out there in the world who has EXTENDO noodle arms.That's what they make you believe/s
This could be said about its gory reputation, but there's also two notable ways it innovated fighting games that could be in T-rated ones: Juggling, and command normals. Japanese developers would have to had played MK1 to see how they could improve on these concepts for their own fighters.
A tier:
- Perfect addition to the series. He encapsulates everything I love about Smash - bringing in this out of nowhere character from a series that so many people in the community knew absolutely nothing about only to school everyone and prove Terry's worth through his charisma, a super fun moveset and a metric **** ton of content. We need more surprises like him. - Smash has still got a knack for creating these charming, wacky characters that nobody knew they wanted. Piranha Plant is just a joy, and they've become one of my favorite characters to play in the whole game. It hurts my soul that I still see hate for them to this day. - I didn't grow up on Banjo, but I've always been rooting for these two to have their day. It finally came and it was glorious. Contrary to some criticism I've heard sent their way, I actually appreciate that Banjo is more straightforward than some of his fellow newcomers. They just feel like they belong. - Say what you will about ARMS, its characters are insanely charming. Min Min has always been my favorite, so I was very happy that they chose her to represent the series. Honestly I just really like when new Nintendo IPs get their time to shine. It makes me sad that some of them missed the boat, so I'm glad that ARMS didn't meet the same fate as some of its contemporaries. - Hype incarnate reveal. I was hoping for a surprise and we definitely got one. I love how powerful he feels to control, some of his attacks are just insanely satisfying or such a spectacle to behold. It's also really nice to finally see FF7 get the complete representation it should have had to begin with. Always great to get some villains too. - Hero needed some time to grow on me, but I love them a lot now. At the time of their reveal I was concerned about how overly gimmicky they appeared - it felt a little bit overkill. But one day I decided to play Hero in a free for all with some friends and I truly understood. Yeah, they're gimmicky and dumb as hell but... they're really fun. Nothing wrong with a totally crazy character every now and then. - I had never been much of an advocate for Steve, since I felt Minecraft was better represented through other means such as a stage and costumes. Nonetheless, Steve came anyway and I'm honestly really happy with his inclusion. He really feels like you're playing Minecraft... in Smash Bros. Which, needless to say, means that Steve is a complete success. I'm generally not big on your usual blank slate avatar protagonists, but Steve represents the 'personality' of Minecraft as a game. He's the embodiment of his series. I can respect that. - Joker was a total surprise and one that shook me in a good way. Over time though that surprise has kind of faded and, quite frankly, I'm a little burnt out on seeing Persona 5 everywhere. Joker is still a good inclusion, I love the music he brought with him and Mementos is one of my favorites. Joker himself is pretty fun but he kinda leaves me wanting more, and I'm not really big on Arsene. Should have been a SMT character - give me Jack Frost. - I won't elaborate much on this one, because it's all stuff you've heard before, but Byleth was a real wet fart of a conclusion for FP1. Their moveset is okay but didn't really make up for how underwhelmed I was at their addition. At the end of the day I play Smash for the characters - Byleth doesn't have any character, as far as I'm concerned. They're another blank slate stale bread protagonist from a series that already has several of them. I'll give them props though, at least it genuinely feels like they tried to 'fix' some of the problems with FE by bringing in all the weapon types so I do appreciate the sentiment.
We talked about Mortal Kombat in Smash (the Chances of it), and also doing our personal DLC Tier list (in terms of how much you like the characters)
Actually it only has two of them; Corrin and Byleth. Robin is also an avatar, but his personality is pretty well defined. Though I suppose you wouldn't be wrong in calling a lot of the protagonists kinda vanilla. Heh.
Yeah, Robin doesn't bother me as much in that regard - it also suits their role as the tactician to be kinda serious and focused. It helps that I've played Awakening and understand that a little better as a result, but in general the Fire Emblem cast is unfortunately not super varied or interesting in their personalities. I can forgive it with some of the cast (I honestly really dug the juxtaposition when FE was a little less saturated - Melee, Brawl) but it kinda sucks that, since we just get the protags pretty much, we're stuck with a bunch of characters who kinda fill the same role and have similar personalities at face value. Stoic, straight faced leaders for the most part.
Dragon Quest.
If we ever got a unit type that isn't a personal class, it would be kind of interesting to see if they added multiple characters at once. I'm not entirely sure how well it would work, perhaps you'd need Echo Fighters, but it would still be kind of interesting nonetheless.
It only kicked in for me how much the Japanese community hated her until I looked at tournament VODS and saw a massive amount of dislike bombing on matches that include Min Min. I can understand why though, the noodle girl is overtuned and her playstyle is lame as hell to fight against and to watch as a spectator.
I tried out the ARMS demo when they announced that an ARMS fighter is coming to Smash. Not my cup of tea. I felt like the game was too simple as a fighting game for me.

Plus, Japan and China do not get along very well.
They don't hate her because of her ethnicity.
- I don't care about Persona but the music and gameplay of Joker is really solid, unlike many others I think fighting him is pretty fun. - Hero is charming and fun to play in casual settings, but his unorthodox and sometimes clunky move set makes him a nightmare to play sometimes - Really boring, I don't like characters whos neutral consists of spitting out projectiles and following up with big kill moves, even worse is that Banjo doesn't have a very dazzling or flashy move set. His music and stage are alright.- Barely knew what KOF was before Terry was added, luckily he's incredibly fun to play. His music list is obviously great and his stage is gimmicky but still unique.- Hated this character up until recently. A fun and unique character for not only Fire Emblem's cast but Smash as well, they can feel agonizingly slow but their attacks are flashy and fun. Their music is cool, but their stage is probably the worst of all the DLC. - Boring, the initial gimmick of nuking and pestering people at long ranges wears thin very quickly. Like her home series, her music is probably the best part about her, although her stage is actually fun on occasions. - I like Minecraft but Steve's moveset is like Hero's, charming and unique but can feel incredibly clunky and unfun to play against. His stage is pretty good, his music is fine but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to.- A very fun character, while some of his moves feel awkward his over all move set feels balanced and refined. The special attention Sephiroth plays directly into his status as a boss character, rounding out Final Fantasy is also pretty cool. 
As far as I'm aware, Ryu is Vergeban's only and final outstanding thing he's mentioned.Reading this reminds me of how likely it is to Ryu Hayabusa be one of the remaining fighters, considering Vergeben's track record:
Minecraft Smash Ultimate leaker teases Ryu Hayabusa DLC fighter - Dexerto
A leaker with a good track record has teased that Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa could be joining Smash Ultimate in Fighters Pass Volume 2.
Now i have a question: does anyone remember which other characters Verge heard about alongside Ryu? (characters not confirmed as playable yet, of course)
Should probably tell them that next time they vote Min Min the most popular character.
Finishing moves is also the thing it created, which isn't really so much due to the gore but the idea of using a single move to immediately finish the fight. Killer Instinct more or less codified it as something that happens before the fight finishes instead(as well as codified Combos after Street Fighter II had it as just a glitch, anyway).
CHAD TIER (A):
Mortal Kombat 3 came after KI. Brutalities were meant to be a reference to its Ultra Combos.
Ah, thank you. It's hard to remember the release order of some of these.
To my Knowledge, Vergeben did not actually hear about whether Ryu was in the game, just that he knows Nintendo and Koei at one point talked about Smash at the negotation tableReading this reminds me of how likely it is to Ryu Hayabusa be one of the remaining fighters, considering Vergeben's track record:
Minecraft Smash Ultimate leaker teases Ryu Hayabusa DLC fighter - Dexerto
A leaker with a good track record has teased that Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa could be joining Smash Ultimate in Fighters Pass Volume 2.
Now i have a question: does anyone remember which other characters Verge heard about alongside Ryu? (characters not confirmed as playable yet, of course)
Was that before or after Byleth?
I think the initial statement might have been before Byleth, since I remember him commenting about Ryu not being Fighter 5, but he offered other words that implied that actual discussions did take place between Nintendo and Koei, perhaps with Ryu as the subject
Bruh, you’d see that anyway because no one knows who the hell she is outside a small minority of people lmao

The Japanese text says it's been a year since he's started these, and now they're going to not be so daily.
So you're going to Thanos snap all the doctors in the world? You evil, evil man.

I wasn't saying she's gonna be next, I was saying don't be surprised if it does end up being in her favor.
