I feel like this fabase has been too fixated on the whole "new worlds" comment and as such have really started gatekeeping who can and cannot get in.
This is a REALLY cool question.
Yes those are good ideas too. Or what about Ocarina of Time Link with the two-handed Biggorron Sword and elemental arrows?
The majority of the roster is from the 80s and 90s and people still play the "too many new characters" card?
Yes, but he's still effectively a boomer character, unlike Joker and Byleth.
Yeah, I just finished playing Banjo Kazooie on my Xbox One, so that makes them recent and too new. Where's the love for the true retro reps we want, like Lester the Unlikely?
Basically this happened:
I wanted to put Travis on mine too but No More Heroes came out in 2007 T-T good picks though, people would be so salty over Dragonborn though
I'm still hoping the Yar gets into Smash someday.
We need more 2000's characters, like Sora, Layton, Phoenix or Dante.
I'm surprised I didn't see anything about Three Houses counting as a "new world".
It's a new world in the context of it being a different universe than past Fire emblem games, does that count?
"Fire Emblem bad!"
That's what I mean, it surprises me that there haven't been any debates I've seen over whether or not Byleth counts as a "new world" when 3H doesn't take place in the same universe as other FE games.
1988 - Hayabusa like everyone says
1988: Ryu Hayabusa
I'm sorry but Ashley has just never really felt like playable character material to me.
There were, they've just been dropped now because the anti-Byleth crowd doesn't really care anymore. They're all waiting impatiently for the next character to drop so they can be mad at that next.
I have seen this argument to justify how Fodlan is a "new world" as it's new to Three Houses, but Fodlan is actually implied to be somewhat connected to Archanea, as the player can obtain the Archanean Regalia and Fire Emblem is relatively consistent with not having weapons crossover unless it makes some sense.
didn't awakening have everything though
Yes, but Awakening also had a portal that connected to every previous Fire Emblem world, providing some explanation on how weapons like Nidhogg are available to the player despite never setting foot in Magvel.
Respectfully disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion and I won't try to win you over. I just really like the characters and feel the movesets could be good fun. I could really care less how important a character is, if they're fun and I like 'em, I want 'em.
The 2000's is a pretty cursed decade for Smash, its neither new enough to be considered "modern", nor old enough to be considered "retro".
Tomorrow is another possibility for a Thursday direct
Some of us are starving for this. Feels pretty late for it if you ask me with Animal Crossing next month and whatnot.

We are getting a direct on February 30th. I can’t believe no one thought of that yet. It’s obvious Nintendo would want to celebrate the first leap year of the decade. And heavily promoted character maybe Travis
wasn't dark samus 2002 though?
1988: Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
My god, now he's just being vague so that he can claim that he wasn't actually hinting at anything if he's wrong.
Picking something other than their debut games kind of defeats the purpose. If we could pick things like this, then pretty much EVERY year would have a character.
Ikr. Such an obvious date. While everyone is getting so worked up for a Nintendo direct the date was pinching them directly on the nose
