To my knowledge, Travis has been deconfirmed by Suda himself, while Master Chief was deconfirmed by one of the lead developers.
Which leaves us with Steve and Banjo as the biggest contenders for a Microsoft rep. And personally I've always believed that Steve makes the most sense to make it in Smash between these two. I mean it's Minecraft, what more do I have to say about it?
Due to her campaign starting up right before it was announced that the DLC characters were chosen I also consider Shantae to be a part of this list.
Hmm.....so I just recently saw the new Persona 5 Royal trailer which featured this new character and she wields a sword and a shotgun. Makes me wonder if they can make her unique.
Well, E3 is one of the biggest gaming conventions and I am certain that they are most likely to unveil some Smash news during the event. As for which character(s) could be in frame for a reveal, I would possibly opt for the "brave" coded character to be shown and possibly another new character in a similar fashion to how Roy and Ryu were unveiled during the Smash Direct Presentation for the Wii-U/3DS versions a few years ago.
Steve's in... an iffy position. I think it was a senior community manager at Mojang who was loudly denouncing him as a playable character, yet being unwilling to talk about anything else. My guess would be a Mii costume or something of the sort. Cuphead was also deconfirmed by his devs, wherein they said, post-Switch reveal, that they'd 'love to see them in Smash'. That'd shatter any kind of NDA right there.
She's just a person with an opinion and doesn't actually decide who gets in. She just hates the idea. Which is irrelevant to his inclusion since she doesn't make the decisions. It seems like Microsoft doesn't much care if people dislike Steve or not, cause frankly her talking trash about their product is not really a good idea for business. There's a difference between criticism and trash talk, and hers wasn't criticism in any way.
Besides Toad, what Nintendo All-Star is missing from Smash Bros? Aside from Rhythm Heaven, is there any big (ish) Nintendo series not represented in Smash? I feel Nintendo has been really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to first-party inclusions in Smash. For me personally, I wouldn't mind if we didn't see any first-party fighters for DLC, and besides maybe Toad and Rhythm Heaven rep, I don't feel like we need any more Nintendo characters either.
Off the top of my head:
I used the wrong words to describe what I was trying to say. I meant relatively big and ongoing. I should've said ongoing, haha. Sorry bout that.
Well, with Nintendo, ongoing is certainly a relative term, heh. Personally I don't think they should restrict themselves to only ongoing series, I like a mix of old and new.
Yeah, if spirits don't deconfirm characters then nintendo still has a 100+ characters that they could use.
Mike jones maybe ? Since we didn't get a retro rep he'd be perfect ! (And he'd probably be a fun character)
Why does everyone say StarTropics? StarTropics was a 2-game throwaway series from the 90's, people mainly know about it because of the Wii Virtual Console releases.
Seems like she clearly broke NDA as well. She wouldn’t play a factor in if he is included or not, sure, but she would know.
Does it matter how people know about them though?
Because they're pretty great games. And the first one must have sold enough to merit a sequel. Hardly a throwaway.
i mean, RH didn't even get a Mii costume or AT when less relevant Nintendo franchises did... (Custom Robo, Sin & Punishment, Golden Sun)
It might be just implementation issues, tbh.
Neither did Advance Wars unfortunately. And there's so many Mii Costumes to choose from for that series like the CO's or the Infantry. Maybe there's hope for DLC although I have my doubts.
Not really. She can't say if he's in the game or not, but she can say her opinion of the idea of him. That's not a clearly broken NDA. It could actually be that she couldn't say anything about Steve in Smash via an NDA, opinions or otherwise, of course. But simply saying opinions is not inherently a normal NDA thing. The only thing that's important is whether they can talk about them being in Smash or not specifically. And that means literally the content existing. She never mentioned any of that, so again, it's possible outright she broke NDA, but it's too hard to say or determine since we don't know what the NDA is. To paraphrase someone from an earlier topic; we don't have evidence of whether she knew anything or not, just that she could. ...Well, not paraphrasing enough, but the point is there's a huge lack of evidence of her being involved with any Steve negotiating, or her knowing a thing. All we know is she doesn't like the character, and that's it. And she's free to dislike who she chooses.
Ehhh, I mean I suppose it could be stretched to be still okay. But it should not be taken so lightly
It really should be taken lightly. She doesn't speak for who gets in. Whether she knows the truth or not is irrelevant because her actual statements have no bearing on his chances. She simply dislikes the idea. That's all they actually mean.
Perhaps, but I personally don't expect the pass to have multiple characters from the same series, plus we don't know if she was actually whom "Jane" was referring to.
I think Frisk is impossible, both because of the lack of moveset potential and how being in Smash would go against the themes of the game.
Well...You could make it work, but the character would be so unorthodox it would be able to win without doing any damage.
That's the same as being impossible to make.
Sans is a lot more iconic, recognizable, unique and requested than Frisk. I don't really understand the thought that's been getting kinda popular recently that Sakurai would pick Frisk over Sans. Choosing Frisk over Sans only because it's the player character would be like adding Red to Smash before Pikachu. Because Red is playable and Pikachu is not, so Red has to be more important/better fit than Pikachu, right?
, and in the game so I doubt the devs care.
That's entirely fair. I was pretty needlessly dismissive, sorry.
