Ah. I didn't know exactly who the person was, just that he worked for Nintendo.
When you've got 7 anime swordfighters in the game already... adding an 8th doesnt seem like such a stretch? I really want Isaac to be in but I don't see how cloud would stop him.
Isaac is questionably second- or third-party, and an RPG protagonist. Cloud's inclusion makes his chances all-but-zero. Just don't gel with what I've seen. Pichu's at least got a claim of vetness.
Camelot just made a Mario game. They're first party.
All you're really doing here is assuming Sakurai's following some sort of pattern...'Oh last time he released a third party icon with two vets so he'll do the same the next time around'...as if he's trying to fill a quota as opposed to full-filling his promise regarding 'fan-service'...
notlikebeing"anime"has neverstoppedanyonebefore
I'm not saying Snake's not popular. I'm saying Konami is in full-on salt-the-earth mode and will not let Snake in Smash again, period. So the next vet in line is Pichu.
The only characters that could be considered anime are Robin and Lucina. Their source material was a departure from the classic Fire Emblem art which was always a mixture of western and eastern influences. Awakening just threw that out the window and went far too eastern in its direction and it lost a lot of what made each character stand out. Sure, people are going to disagree with me, but when I play Awakening, almost everyone looks the same to me. Wasn't the case with FE7-10It's
Isaac is probably unlikely. But being "too anime" has nothing to do with it.
No, no, no, maybe, and no
You have a point....
Doomguy could work but they'd have to go with the more exotic weapons(chaingun, rockets, BFG, plasma). Still zero chance though, too ultra-violent and also the FPS genre is very unpopular in Japan.
Hatsune Miku is not a SEGA character...the games SEGA has made for her are licensed games.
All of this and yet, you forgot the epic divekick Pittoo did in Chapter 8Here's what I'd do for super simple changes
Throwing Pills stall him in the air
He throws Pills over-head instead of throwing them out like Mario does
Less landing stiffness than Mario, If he's not going to be as fast let him react quicker instead.
Striking Flight is the Default ^B
Runs Slower
Weaker than Pit on the Ground
Has Better Air Movement
Stronger than Pit in the Air
Iai Counter is the default vB
Change Every instance of "Counter" to "Instinct" because Lucina can't learn Counter and Instinct sounds cool
and for a few more complicated things
Grab Attack is changed so she equips her mask and headbutts opponents
Change Final Smash so it uses
Give him
Take the bracelet off his left arm and give him a Virdi Arm
Change his final smash to the Lightning Chariot which would be a fancy Dragoon but with a bigger radius and Pegasus
Change Final Smash, it's got the same giant pills but they rain from a bout a'la Brawl!PK Starstorm
Exchange Large Pill with a Cold-Medicine Custom that is pretty much just Luigi's Ice ball custom.
Forward Smash, Shocking Cape, The Ol'One-Two, change all their elements to Ice, Doctor's have cold hands you know
Man I have been wanting to get all of these off my chest for awhile now
Hmm? There's nothing wrong with any of those choices. Plus he said iconic characters. All of them are iconic... Except maybe Doom Guy.
Hastune Miku is not a SEGA character.
Then what did she first appear in?
It would be interesting to see a hypothetical FE7 remake.
Pretty sure Cloud's a ballot choice based off the translation of Sakurai's tweet about Cloud and "fulfilling a difficult request"
Cloud and Ike are far more similar to each other than Isaac is to Cloud.
Notice that the fact he is a sword-wielder is something Sakurai only mentioned in a throw-away line here.
Nintendo wholly own Isaac. Isaac is a first-party character.

It's hard to remember Pittoo doing anything in chapter 8
This I don't really agree with, Dark Pit has the exact same body type as Pit and he's not equipped with anything that would suggest other wiseSmash 4 Clones
1. Has the weight and damage multiplier to his general kit that Doc has to Mario.
2. Striking Flight is the default.
3. Paw Pad Orbitars which heal.
4. Tweaked Grab & Throw kit with Viridi Palm. F-Throw is now akin to
1. Side Special is the charged launch of
2. Slightly more speed than Marth. Makes up for her lack of the power of the tipper better than just the balanced blade.
Nice try, don't be smart. Are you trying to push the idea that Palutena is anime? She isn't. Her trailer was done in a certain style, but she isn't anime in her source material. Kid Icarus wasn't anime. The anime short videos were done to promote the game, but none of that art reflected the art in the game and was much different. I'm not even a fan of Palutena in the game but I actually play the games I talk about and don't pretend to know about these franchises just because I see them in Smash Bros.Issac can be so much more than another anime-style swordsman, His basic attacks can be just as unique as his special ones, he can equip other things and he can switch between them easily, Golden Sun all about constantly changing your setup, from Djinn to Weapons
Axes, Maces, Long Swords, Light Swords

You know... The Pirate Ship
???
No need to be snappy, Just pointing out that Robin and Lucina aren't exactly the only ones than can be considered "anime"
and the giant flowing green hair you'd only ever see in anime related things
and have an anime? had a movie with the anime art style and and even had a TV show and they're considered anime shows.
?
Until the presentation happens the discussions in this thread will only continue to get more wild.Anime characters in Smash...and we're only using that to describe the swordsmen?
What about
Not that it matters. If you're going to use that argument on one archetype, you better include everything that fits the criteria for "anime". I don't even know why we're talking about anime appearances, because that hardly fits anything else besides the art style, and is not a detriment to any character.
FE7-10 looked pretty animesque though (part of the reason why I picked up the games, tbh) It was only a change of artist, although I didn't like the change either.
Oh, I thought you were being sarcastic or something, an explanation or something more than just a drive by post of a picture would have been better received, my mistake dude. Also, I still wouldn't group Kid Icarus into the anime pile because of those reasons, you find that in a lot of mediums than just anime, but I understand that the perception of these characters leans towards anime, since that's how it looks plainly. I'm not a fan of anime in the slightest, just playing devils advocate, but for the most part, I agree with youNo need to be snappy, Just pointing out that Robin and Lucina aren't exactly the only ones than can be considered "anime"
And I guess the Kid Icarus cast can't be considered anime because of the... anime shorts, they can be considered anime from the big eyes
And I've played just about all these franchises I'll have you know, minus
You may have bought Fire Emblem because it reminded you of anime, but it had a good balance of eastern and western influences. The characters still looked like they could have come from Medieval Europe. In Awakening, they went full anime, really no looking past that, compare the character portraits from Blazing Sword to Awakening
Ryu,megaman,Shiek,Zelda,toon link and link should be on this list too!It's
Isaac is probably unlikely. But being "too anime" has nothing to do with it.
