I don't care if Chief not being on Nintendo makes it unlikely I want Chief in so bad

Another excuse to play through Halo is good enough for meMy friend made this, not exactly about Master Chief in Smash, but a similar topic.

How would ya'll feel about Halo on switch?
I'd love this, or the Master Chief collection. It would be a dream to play it on the go and with possible gyro controls and local co-op!My friend made this, not exactly about Master Chief in Smash, but a similar topic.

How would ya'll feel about Halo on switch?
Why Salmon?Halo was the first game I consistently played when I was young, so it is pretty fun to imagine how he'd translate to a 2D fighting game. I also feel he's a tiny bit more likely than most would believe, but he's a fun pipe dream regardless.
Here's a few random thoughts for what I'd do for some things, trying to reference the series as a whole:
Costumes:
Default - His Infinite design, which appears to be very similar to his 2 & 3 designs as well.
Blue - Based on Carter from Reach, as well as multiplayer's blue team.
Red - Based on multiplayer's red team.
Gold - Black and dark gold, inspired by the Arbiter's design in 3.
Black - Based on ODST's Rookie.
White - Based on 5's Holly Tanaka.
Classic - His Combat Evolved design.
Classic (Salmon) - His Combat Evolved design with multiplayer's salmon colour.
Final Smash: The Chief calls in an orbital bombardment from Cairo Station, akin to Cutter's MAC Blast ability in Halo Wars. He then puts down a Bubble Shield just before the rounds hit, referencing the Starry Night advert. Massive damage and knockback is dealt across the entire stage, but the Chief and anyone else inside the shield is safe.
why notWhy Salmon?
Just remember that the DLC was decided upon at the time of the concept plan, which means campaigning isn't gonna do much except influence a theoretical second wave.DLC is our only hope for Chief now.

Listen when he talks about the Rex costume. He says that the DLC was planned early, but they're working on it when the games done, which is why they couldn't get Rex in for a bigger role.I
It wasn't, they stated they're going to do all that stuff after development was finished aka when the game releases, the only thing in the plan was the base roster and potentially Piranha Plant, who I assume was planned for being in the base game but wasn't done in time so rather than scrap all that work they're just putting the finishing touches on him, I say this as his amiibo is releasing 2/15/19, so he has to be done before then.
He said that Rex's game was released too early for the planning document, not the DLC fighters, stages, music, etc.Listen when he talks about the Rex costume.

On rewatch I think it can be interpreted either way I guess, but I think in context it makes much more sense to be talking about what could make DLC, otherwise he'd be able to be a DLC fighter/there'd be no reason to bundle him with DLC.He said that Rex's game was released too early for the planning document, not the DLC fighters, stages, music, etc.
Sakurai works in mysterious ways, after all we're getting a free fighter in the form of a common enemy.On rewatch I think it can be interpreted either way I guess, but I think in context it makes much more sense to be talking about what could make DLC, otherwise he'd be able to be a DLC fighter/there'd be no reason to bundle him with DLC.

I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
Or in other words..."the dlc fighters will be brand new to the series"
I don't think Game Pass is referring to rival consoles. If anything it's the Xbox one successor. If you don't mind can I see the full quote/clip?You know, recent talks have me thinking:
Phil Spencer said that Xbox Game Pass (Which includes Halo, Gears of War, Crackdown 3, and many other games) will eventually come to every device. If he follows through and Xbox Games Pass is announced for Nintendo Switch, I feel like Chief’s chances, as well as other Microsoft characters like General RAAM, Fulgore, Banjo-Kazooie and Cuphead might shoot up. He would’ve said “it will come to PC, and eventually mobile”, but he opted for “every device”. How about that?
Here’s what he said:I don't think Game Pass is referring to rival consoles. If anything it's the Xbox one successor. If you don't mind can I see the full quote/clip?
When you think about reaching a customer with this content where their only compute device could be an Android phone, you think about, 'What are all the ways that person pays for content today'? So we need to make sure that we're world-class at free-to-play content, but we also look at subscription as a much lower barrier way for a customer to build a library of content.
So we built Xbox Game Pass -- it started on console, it will come to PC, and eventually it will come to every device -- we use the flywheel that we have with customers on an Xbox to start the growth in Xbox Game Pass. But as somebody sitting back and taking a longer-term view of where our business is going, you should look at that as a business model that we think scales to billions of people not hundreds of millions of people like retail does.
I can also see Nintendo getting Doomguy to fill the FPS genre rep. He is just as iconic.I don't think Game Pass is referring to rival consoles. If anything it's the Xbox one successor. If you don't mind can I see the full quote/clip?
But I've said it before, if Nintendo wants the "biggest crossover in gaming" they may want an FPS rep. And who better than one of the most iconic FPS heroes. And MC is definitely something people will never see coming.
I can see that too, Doom is also one of the pioneers of the FPS genre.I can also see Nintendo getting Doomguy to fill the FPS genre rep. He is just as iconic.
Now, I wouldn't go that far. Worldwide, characters such as Cloud and Ryu are definitely more famous than he is. I will say this, though: Chief is possibly the most iconic western-created video game character out there. Lara Croft might be the closest thing, but Tomb Raider was never the phenomenon that Halo was. If Nintendo really wanted to include a character to make a splash in the western hemisphere, I seriously don't think a single character could do it as well as Chief. Overseas, though, he'd probably be the least known character on the entire roster. He's in a weird place. I think characters are selected partially on the basis of worldwide appeal, and unfortunately no western characters really have that. I think there's a reason the roster is almost entirely Japanese in origin, right now. But hey, fingers crossed for the bestIf Master Chief were in Smash, I'd put him only behind Mario, Pikachu, DK, Sonic, and Pac Man in terms of how iconic they are.
Unlike those two, Chief is a face of an entire console brand and a genre. Even though the Xbox isn't that popular in Japan, it is still one of the three major console brands and gamers in japan would still know who the face of the Xbox is. And from what I remember, Halo does have decent following in Japan.Doomslayer and Chief would be the ideal circumstance for me, but I think we can agree that they're probably mutually exclusive on account of their many similarities.

Yeah, I didn't mean to be a downer about things. If you're right about that, maybe Chief isn't as much of a pipe dream as I thought.Unlike those two, Chief is a face of an entire console brand and a genre.
