Chrom was Awakening's main protagonist, not Robin. Robin got into Smash first.
Fair point. I've never played Fire Emblem tbh so I didn't even know that.
I feel Persona and Dragon Quest fill different niches even within the JRPG world, they can't be swept under the same brush, even if it's just from an aesthetic standpoint.
And Edelgard is the face of marketing which you admitted that the face sometimes makes it in over the protagonist. So it's a 50-50 between Byleth or Edelgard.
Dream:
Sleeper: Anything by Valve, since Valve always goes for the surprise announcement. I'd count Overwatch as sleeper, ditto WoW / Starcraft. Anything by Falcom is likewise sleeper territory. Anything Tencent owns or is indirectly connected to is also sleeper, since they're hugging Nintendo like crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if Tencent helped SNK and their owners get Terry in after all. Dynasty Warriors too, come to think of it.
FE already has its "face/icon" in, Marth. As stated, Edelgard was the face of FE3H marketing (the game's theme song is literally called "Girl of Hresvelg" in Japan, and is entirely from Edelgard's perspective) and was by far the most played lord during the peak activity after launch. Any of the FE3H lords or Byleth would be a plausible and strong inclusion, but it's certainly an open question as to who'd make it in.
It's not like Robin and Corrin were the faces of Fe Awakening and Fates marketing either. Like no doubt Edelgard is marketed, but that's never been enough for Fire Emblem in recent years.
And that's why they're a sleeper pick.
In descending order
Can you look at tag-team 2d King of Fighters and tell me it's the same as 3d Arena Tekken?
Fates's marketing made a huge deal out of the fact that it was the first time the avatar character was the main lord. IS very clearly didn't see Robin as the main protagonist of Awakening. Hell, even Smash Bros gives Chrom top billing in that regard.
I fail to see how Heihachi and Terry can be swept under the same brush from an aesthetic standpoint.
And were people interested in the avatar or the narrative about choosing two sides? Be real and ask youeself which you gave more of a **** for. The avatar and the face petting or the concept of Fates' narrative? It was the defined characters from both sides that were more recognizable before Corrin made it into Smash.
I think the characters themselves are different, but I think it would be super weird to have another ‘fighting game’ themed pack for spot 5, I’ve come around on Lloyd being a pretty good candidate but I still really fail to see heihachi, especially after just having an entire pack dedicated to fighting games already
I don't think Sakurai would care at all about having two fighting game reps back to back. That just feels like another arbitrary fan rule, honestly.
It's certainly possible.

I’m don’t think it’s a ‘rule’ at all, but idk I just have trouble seeing two spirit boards next to each other each with fighting game characters, I just think it would be weird to have two similar series while the first four are all totally diverse from each other

2D fighters and 3D fighters are pretty different, just like Persona and DQ are JRPGS with significant differences.
Ooooh yeah, Arc System Works would be good. I'd be hyped for (almost) anyone from there.
I want a Blazblu rep and for Ragna's stage instead of Xander mobus saying "Ready go!" It's the voice clip of Blaz blu cross tag that says "Can't escape from crossing fates! FIGHT!" It fits with Smash's crossover stuff.

Robin had the spotlight for one chapter (before Lucina takes it over at the end) and then it went back to Chrom for the rest of the Valm arc.
What do you mean only one chapter? Robin came up with literally every strategy for the Valm arc while Chrom took a backseat before discussing philosophy with Walhart. Robin was the one who dealt with Valm's naval fleet in Chapter 14. When the entire aemy was going to be pincer attacked, Chrom literally had to ask Robin what to do to deal with it. Robin was also the man who thought about fighting Yen'fay in a volcano. Though, you're right in that the Valm arc's first and final two chapters are Chrom focused.
Not in any order but.
We already have proof that 8-bit versions of characters can coexist with Smash fighters from Duck Hunt.
Complete DLC lineup for me.
