"What makes you think this edgy guy would work in Smash Bros?"
Well, he already comes from a fighting game, so it would be easy to come up with a moveset for him. You could even take a page from Ryu's book and make him a more technical character than the rest of the cast with quarter circle inputs and the like.
"Does this guy have any history at all with Nintendo?"
An updated version of one of his games, Blazblue: Continuum Shift was released on the 3DS among other consoles back in 2011, and most recently, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle was announced to be coming to the Switch, for release on June 5th. With his presence on both one of the most successful consoles Nintendo has released, plus the most recent console, I'd say he has a good enough history.
"So what? His most recent game was on the Switch. I bet it doesn't fit in with Smash Ultimate's development cycle just like [Insert character that debuted on the Switch here]"
A valid argument, but I can disprove it with two points. 1) Ragna is a character that was established long before Smash Ultimate began development, and well before the Switch was even a thing. 2) We've known that a Blazblue game was coming to the Switch as early as January 2017, back when Nintendo held their big Switch presentation. Of course, that means Nintendo has to have known about it well before us, as early as 2016, the exact same year Smash Ultimate began development.
"More anime swordsmen?! Not in my Smash Bros!"
Well, technically, Ragna's weapon is a scythe, so he's not an anime swordsman, per se, but I understand the stigma around characters similar to Ragna. However, I'm positive he could bring something fresh to the table, so I hope that the whole "anime swordsman" thing wouldn't detract from him too much.
And that's my argument for this character! I hope you all agree with me and help support Ragna for this new game! Stages and music choices will be added at a later date, so feel free to make suggestions!Well, he already comes from a fighting game, so it would be easy to come up with a moveset for him.
