I would probably take that 4chan leak with a grain of salt, but if we are getting another character from the Street Fighter series, then it would be Chun-Li since she is not only one of the most iconic fighter within the series, but she is also one of the most iconic female fighters within fighting games.
Well, that's just because Smash has yet to add a fully unique secondary third party character. Ken and Richter get by by being clones or "echo fighters" that are treated more as extensions of pre-existing characters rather than their own individual fighter with a number.
You're making it sound like they don't already do that.
Sure, but actually adding a non-clone secondary third party character like Zero or Chun-Li or Alucard will just amplify that.
Isn’t Atlus also associated with the series? I thought I read it somewhere.
Yeah. Alucard and Chun-Li would be neat additions. I don't think they have any chance for DLC but for the next Smash? Maybe. I'm at least confident in Ryu/Ken returning.
with Alucard I'm hopeful for an upgrade but if they do upgrades if the series is isn't new I don't want them to be in the pass Alucard could just be a character with a few songs although the series is perfectly represented musically as is but Chun-li would fill the void because she's alwasys with Ryu and Ken at least when new games come out
To be fair this is mainline Pokemon, something like that most likely took less time than the actual game (especially since they most likely got the full team back after Town finished development and release), though there's really no way to know for sure.
I agree with this and I find it extremely doubtful that we will get a Sword and Shield Pokemon as DLC.
Where are they though? These are characters that should be no-brainers at this point. Especially egregious is Sonic being in for the majority of the series and not getting another character.
Alucard's absolutely next in line for another CV character seeing as we almost got him instead of the Belmonts
I think that Sonic is definitely important enough to warrant another character. Sonic also has an ongoing crossover series with Mario himself so there's that.
Because we have nothing better to do in speculation talk and Akuma is badass. Funny enough I saw an Akuma meme on twitter before we started this
Except, Rex’s Mii Costume is wielding Pyra’s sword so I guess that soft deconfirms Pyra too...Rex and Pyra wouldn't really be a spirit promotion and more of a loophole.
Spirits deconfirm right? But there is no spirit that feature both Rex and Pyra together sooooooooooooooooo they are technically a viable fighter option.
XC2 doesn't have a stage, there are plenty of songs not in the game, while the main characters are all in spirits a few antagonists and swords are not......
Plot twist! Death joins the battle instead.
It would definitely break a precedent, but since Akuma's differences from Ryu and Ken would mostly be property based (like Chrom except the changes would be a bit more complicated) I could see it done. At most he'd be an Isabelle tier Echo Fighter, which doesn't sound nearly as exciting to me for some reason.
Doesn't Gen 8 have an Spirit Board? If anything I feel that rules them out.
I'm pretty sure Master Chief would be more then Snake/Cloud levels of hype tbh.
Well the leak claims that Akuma would be unique so it would already do that. And tbh Chun Li is the one character that could be made an exception for, alongside Tails. Those two are pretty much the only unique secondary 3rd Parties we need in this game, honestly, because they’re a tier above the rest in terms of their series and character importance. Especially since Zero and Alucard are already Assist Trophies.
Eh, no one's talking about it as though it's real, it's more that Akuma is a cool character and it's fun to talk about stuff we don't often, which is Street Fighter reps.
Obviously I'd take the whole damn SF cast, but I think Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Chun-Li is a solid selection. We get the three most iconic characters plus a fan-favorite villain. It's hard to decide whether I'd want Bison or Akuma...probably Bison, just because he is a more unique villain and I love him but man, Akuma really is super cool...
Spirit event actually, not an entire spirit board.
Should still deconfirm if anything.
Completely agreed, but for now it seems like SEGA only wants to have their newcomers in Smash come from different franchises (Sonic in Brawl, Bayonetta in 4, Joker for Ultimate)
They're still similar, and they both deconfirm in my opinion.
I really would hate if they added another Pokemon after Incineroar. I think they missed the shot for having the fire water grass trio with picking Incineroar over Decidueye. But I wanted Incineroar more than him anyways honestly
The only other Sega character I hear being talked about here is Arle Najda from Puyo Puyo.
I could see Yakuza maybe getting in but I think you're forgetting Puyo puyo. It's bigger than Yakuza in sales and have a bigger history, and it's more closely affiliated with Nintendo.
