Which is a damn shame because there are people who have never touched Ridge Racer in their lives, but they still have seen the cinematic intros. Perhaps Super Smash can change that.
IMO the reception to the content indies have been given is enough to make Nintendo think this "indie rep" quota has been filled. Look at how many people act like the Sans costume is the real deal.
If I owned an character that made it big I would be more than content simply seeing them in the game, doesn't matter if it's a mii outfit or a spirit.
On the topic of ATs being "promoted" to playable status, I'm pretty sure Alucard would have more of a chance, and perhaps priority than Shovel Knight. I don't know if it was explicitly said if Alucard was considered before the Belmonts, but there's loads of speculation that he was the one that was pushed for, but because Simon is more recognizable and Richter was an easy Echo they were chosen over him.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but this is what kind of annoys me about Shantae fans.
They just want her to have more than just a PNG image.
Either Alucard or Shadow.
Sakurai did say that he felt Alucard would be the most recognizable/most popular Castlevania rep, but that the Belmonts had legacy and a unique whip-based moveset. Castlevania as a series made waves in the ballot, thus leading to him considering several options. Personally as a huge Castlevania fan he made the right choice - you get the iconic Castlevania whip-based moveset, a retro rep in Simon, a fan favorite in Richter, and an iconic character as Alucard's wonderful assist trophy all included, not to mention the amazing stage and boss.
And Google too!
To be fair, Sakurai and co. never wanted Spirits to be seen as just PNG images (although that's what they wound up being in effect). Otherwise they wouldn't have designed hundreds of event battles filled with references, nor even included the option of using Spirits in multiplayer (with their effects).

1 and 2. I'm going to combine these two (and also slightly break the rules here, because I can't think of anything that could be lighter than Pichu) and say Tiki from Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon. - I'm basing this mainly off of how she plays in Warriors, where she's a weak, frail character normally, but by maxing out her special gauge shifts into the biggest, heaviest, strongest character in the game. She'd fill the roll of a light weight before hand and upon meeting the necessary requisites, she'd transform into a super heavy, hard hitting dragon for the clutch
I could see that happening but I also wouldn't mind if Miriam got to carry the torch and battle with the Belmonts.
Unfortunately, when we get to Miriam we get the complicated nature of Bloodstained being an indy series and all that entails, but you'd see no complaints from me.
Imagine Soma playing like Kirby, where after he KOs an opponent he gets a move of theirs he can use for a brief time.
I mean... sure, support bases can get obnoxious, but... if people still want Monster Hunter despite Rathalos being a boss, I see no issue with people wanting a Spirit promotion for Shantae. It's not like wants always convert to reality, anyway.
Not going to lie, I miss the way toggles used to work in previous games, with rulesets being modded on the fly. It's nice to be able to save a full ruleset, but I still wish we had to go through less screens to change one single option. I don't normally use Spirits in casual play, but I like making team comps for imaginary Spirit battles (made a few for P5's bosses and Diddy Kong Racing characters).
FIGHTING POLYGON TEAM Smashes the Competition!
The game wasn't out when Smash was in the works. It's like saying you find the lack of Three Houses music odd.
Yeah, that is a fair point.
Do they come with Wireframe and Alloy alts?
...okay, but the lack of Spirits is still weird! I'll die on this hill, I swear!
Also Mega Man 10, which is even more strange since there is music from MM9.
Nah, it is kinda true that it may be too late for a Megaman 11 spirit event.
They better! No one could stop my Female Wireframe in Melee!
See, that's more understandable considering how many high profile releases have gotten patched-in Spirits. TH and Astral Chain lacking them still has me thinking.
Back in the old times on the PSX Ridge Racer was known as the face of Arcade Racers there, with Gran Turismo, CTR and Twisted Metal as the Sim, kart and Combat racer kings respectively.Queen was mentioned a couple of times so Gale must remind everyone that Reiko Nagase is Bandai Namco's undisputed #1 race queen mascot. No hyperbole. It is simply a fact.
Excluding Ridge Racer, Bandai Namco has published and or developed over TWENTY different racing game intellectual properties. We can all thank Pole Position for that s***. Pole Position is often regarded as one of the most influential video games of all time, as well as one of, if not, THE most important racing game ever. Ridge Racer carried the torch in the Silver Age, and created a mascot who is unrivaled in Bandai Namco's racing world.
The more you know.
This sounds like a creepy pasta.
I don't even remember what this soundtrack sounds like
Do you think they could get Sonic.exe's hyper realistic eyes past the ratings board?
Oho, now THIS is an interesting choice
For some reason thinking about Chief (and especially this interpretation of him) has me thinking back to Emmet and Radec from PlayStation All-Stars... what a game
7/10, needs more t-posing and dabs.
And yet the Shovel Knight and Undertale fans were perfectly content with what they got. Not every series can have a sizable amount of content in Smash that'll satisfy fans.
