fair point there, but it’s still possible to get two with the popularity of the franchise if fire emblem can get 2/3 if you count lucina but I don’t. also, Zelda was a fairly inactive series to pull from at the time of smash 4
True. True.
The project plan was finished in December 2015, when DLC for the previous game was still being developed. Gathering staff together for the new Smash was done later. pic.twitter.com/w1JyrtlKo7

Me too, but honestly i just don't want him in.
So, what? You wanna rain on other people's parades?
Nah, just wanted to discuss new fighters.
I agree fully.
As much as he would be a cool fighter, there are many more characters sakurai will turn to first.
I honestly think fan demand is going to have Bandana Dee added first. after the quartet of heros or the kirby series is done. i feel like that's when Marx has a stronger chance of joining.
Your statement about Bandana Dee is true, but he has much more relevance and support than Marx does.
to be fair, when l man that moveset, it was with the theme that he would be bad on the ground, sorta like the opposite of little mac, which is something I forgot to mention in the picture, and a lot of his moves that look powerful wouldn't really be as much as they look due to his size and some balancing of course. Hopefully this clears some things up.I agree fully.
I think i worded my previous statement wrong, what i meant was, his chances are low, but as long as we get Bandana Dee first, Marx would fit in perfectly into the roster in my opinion.
My only worry is the moveset.
Flying could work kinda like R.O.B. that's fine and all. But his ariel attacks i imagine would be a bit tough...
Puking Balls that send shockwaves and etc. i feel would make going against Marx be really annoying, considering they'll stay in air all the time for those overpowered attacks.
Here's a custom moveset i found, it's a good moveset, but it kinda show's my point about me being afraid of his strong abilities
Dash attack should just be a Standard Special, and not that fast probably
Standard Special kinda looks way to chunky hitbox-wise, and it looks more like some sort of final smash.
Down ariel needs those shockwaves removed
An Up ariel that Recovers would be way to broken, imagine using up ariel and then Up Special? That's way to good of a recovery! and let's remove the cacti
Side ariel is ok, just make it hit about say, 3 times.
Standard Ariel is good, but imagine how much space it would cover for a single standard ariel, unless marx is super duper small, which just wouldn't work.
Final Smash is perfect, however, but maybe without Nova, I'm about to make the "it's too big argument here" but the ending of Milky Way Wishes showed us that if Nova was the size of a soccer ball on earth, Marx would be the size of a single very very small fly.
Maybe just have the black hole then marx dashing through it maybe.
If he does get in, I'm just afraid he's going to be another Bayonetta.
Ah ok. that makes more sense.
This is still my favorite version of his theme. I hope they keep it in Ultimate. I mean, Halberd's confirmed to be coming back, but they randomly removed the song Checker Knights from it going from SSBB to SSB4 and now I'm all paranoid about it. If we can't have Marx, at least let me have his theme plz ;-;
I wonder if we'll get a remix actually. I wouldn't mind if Marx got another remix, but i'd hope they keep both in as well.
Though relevance and support plays a huge role in Sakurai’s decision making. It’s not always a main factor for 100% of the roster. People tend to forget it’s also about who Sakurai’s see’s as a good fit AND who he can make a fun and unique move set for. When Wii Fit Trainer joined Smash there was no prior support or fan demand for her. That was all Sakurai. Also if we shared the videos of Marx’s and Bandana Dee’s move sets from Star Allies. In my opinion Bandana Dee’s move set pales in comparison to Marx’s. Marx would be so much more interesting to me. Also does Bandana Dee have an amazing theme song like Marx? Nah dude, he don’t. Haha just so you know this is all in good fun. I enjoy sticking up for Marx. For all we know we could be doing this for no reason because asking for a 4th Kirby rep might be asking too much from Sakurai.
Oh yeah. Relevance isn't the only factor, but it's a big one. And i don't see Marx being good for a Smash game personally. If you taking his moves from KSA, I'd find it a bit hard to make him not op.
