I wouldn't count Dedede as a villain, seeing as he's only really been evil in one game.Tried making a chess set out of Nintendo's greatest villains.

I know, he's usually being possessed by Dark Matter, but I was running short on characters to use.I wouldn't count Dedede as a villain, seeing as he's only really been evil in one game.
Yeah I was wondering if he'd consider a character who hasn't been in a Nintendo game before because I feel like that would just be weird and awkward. I mean imagine Minecraft Steve being pummeled by Donkey Kong. I can definitely see Crash being added though with the collection now on the switch & I'm really hoping for a Castlevania character. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon was released recently and Ritual of the Night is well on its way so maybe we'll see a protagonist from that franchise. Shovel Knight would be a cool character too, now that I'm thinking about platformers.The most likely candidates right now are:
-K. Rool (seeing how popular demand made Ridley playable he has a decently good chance)
-Rex & Pyra / Elma
-Dixie as a clone
-Gen 8th Pokemon he sees worth or no new pokemon reps
Unexpected curveballs that Sakurai may consider (even as DLC):
-Isaac
-Banjo
-Springman
-Belmont
-It either has to be a new FE16 rep or no rep at all
-Crash
Never gonna happen but are expected for some reason:
-Decidueye (seriously who came up with this)
-Lycanroc (same thing as above)
-Mimikyu (seriously?)
-Bandana Dee
-Toad / Captain Toad
-Rhythm heaven rep
-Impa
-Ashley
-Geno
-Sora
-Medusa
-Shantae
-Shovel Knight
-Sans
-Any champion from botw
-Midna
-Skull kid
-Minecraft Steve (how is this even a thing?)
maybe you can make the pawns minions of Bowser & Dedede (Waddle Dee, Koopaling) just an idea.Tried making a chess set out of Nintendo's greatest villains.

characters that haven't been in a Nintendo franchise*A Castlevania character would be cool. But then I feel like smash would have a Soul Calibur esque roster if they began to add characters from non-Nintendo franchises.

Unfortunately won't be able to take requests at the moment due to real life, but I'll try working through my current queue of requests when I have time.
No worries. Just use the edit function located at the bottom left of your posts. The reason why we enforce that rule is to keep the boards more orderly and less cluttered.Right, Im new here sorry learning everything.
How original Smash 64 was is irrelevant here. Fallout 76 and TES: VI are more different than their predecessors than SSBU is from Sm4sh.Yeah they are. Smash created the arena fighter genre. fallout and TES are just 2 other games in a saturated FPS survival genre. I'm not denying their quality, but they are strikingly similar to hundreds of other games. Smash was revolutionary at its inception and is still the only game series to do what it does at such a consistent quality.
Dude, 76 is a lot of garbage thats been done before in the survival genre and recieved large amounts of criticism. Bethesda's only big announcements were the TITLES of games that are at least 2 years away (both were stated to be next gen) and a new Doom. Wolfenstein's become a biennial release which is hardly big news, and Prey got DLC. they were funny and well presented but Bethesda showed jack all.How original Smash 64 was is irrelevant here.

Never gonna happen but are expected for some reason:
Explain please. And don't give the Sakurai Bias reason because it doesn't make any sense considering Kirby and King Dedede's Final Smash.-Bandana Dee
I mean Xenoblade 2 was the first game in the series to break 1 million sales.....that sounds like an endorsement to me. (although I suppose that would only help them if they were dlc)How are Rex/Pyra/Elma likely again? There's nothing to base it on
I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I really don't get why people still think we might get someone from Gen 8, which has been confirmed to release next year.-Gen 8th Pokemon he sees worth or no new pokemon reps
That's quite the bold statement. What makes you so sure they're "never" gonna happen? It's really hard to take you seriously when you're not providing any explanations.Never gonna happen but are expected for some reason:
I see you're stuck on the second stage of grief, denial.Waluigi can still make it in.
Lol fair enoughOh no, for waluigi, he could just bend space and time to get in.
Namco actually created the arena fighter genre with the Outfoxies. Sakurai just made the genre popular when he scrapped The Dragon King game with Nintendo characters.Yeah they are. Smash created the arena fighter genre.
And what exactly makes you think someone like Decidueye has a higher chance than, let's say Incineroar, exactly? Let me guess:That's quite the bold statement. What makes you so sure they're "never" gonna happen? It's really hard to take you seriously when you're not providing any explanations.
The games may come out next year, but early drafts and concepts are done way before the game even starts development. Sakurai already said in an interview he got illustrations of Greninja back when XY wasn't even announced. But why didn't he add Inklings for example you may ask, well, he probably knew about them but Splatoon was a hit or miss unlike Pokemon. Absolutely no one expected it to be this popular so it's not a good comparison and that's why I'm on the fence with Springman now since he's in a similar situation.I'm sorry if this seems rude, but I really don't get why people still think we might get someone from Gen 8, which has been confirmed to release next year.
I don't even understand what you're trying to say with that first sentence, anyhow.Explain please. And don't give the Sakurai Bias reason because it doesn't make any sense considering Kirby and King Dedede's Final Smash.
Also don't even thin kabout using the species argument.
I see these reasons all the time so if you have an actual reason I would be curious to see.
If you seriously think a single special move counts as being an archer, I don't know what to tell you.And what exactly makes you think someone like Decidueye has a higher chance than, let's say Incineroar, exactly? Let me guess:
-"we need a grass starter because we'll have the Fire-Water-Grass type triangle represented!"
It's a nonsensical and pointless theory and it's been debunked anyway now that pokemon trainer is back. What else? He's popular? Zoroark used to be back in the day and guess what happened to him.
-He appeared in Pokken and his chances are higher then everyone else [they also included pikachulibre as an alt so they are taking that game into consideration]?
Well, I guess Gengar, Sceptile, Weavile, Gardevoir, etc. have as much of a chance as he does.
- "B-but he's an archer, there's a moveset there!"
So are Pit, Link, Toon Link, Young Link. Again, nothing new. Literally any character can have a unique moveset, even a piece of turd, so that doesn't mean much.
I know it sounds I'm just attacking him personally, but it's just that some like to jump into the bandwagon of some characters because everyone else does too and they fear having a personality of their own. Plain and simple, Sakurai does whatever the heck he wants in the end, there are no rules set in stone and he usually aims for what catches his attention instead of what the "entirety of the smash fanbase which resides in the interwebz (which is in reality a very small minority)" thinks would suit best (which is fine by me because most of the requests would make a hideous roster). I also feel like that if he were as popular as people make him seem to be, he would've been announced already.

But hey man, if I'm proven wrong I'm wrong, I don't really care. You can shove it in my face all you want.
I don't even understand what you're trying to say with that first sentence, anyhow.
Let's think about it rationally: what odds does he have in favor? He has appeared in a few titles where you can play with friends together as Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight and him, as a player 4 so-to-speak, not because of anything in particular but rather because there's really no one else left, had it been a waddle doo with a parasol they would've went with it and nothing would've changed. But unlike Meta knight and Dedede that doesn't make him any special, he's just there to fulfill a role any other could've filled just as good.
If that weren't the case and he's a recurring character in the franchise because the kirby devs see he's fun, he's been around for a while now, even before Brawl if I'm not mistaken. So why is it that he hasn't been added after 10+ years? Sakurai hates him? No. He doesn't want people to think he's biased with his own creation? That's not it either. It's because Sakurai/ the people in charge of deciding characters just see him as a plain waddle dee who happens to have a spear. He's just esthetically boring to look at as a newcomer, and let's be real, his moveset would end pretty lame and uninspired too, which is why we'll never get stuff like Toad or a goomba either.
Same thing as I said to the other guy, you can request for anyone you like but don't expect others to roll with it. Feel free point at me and laugh if he actually manages to make the cut.
Oh yeah, they'll definitely make him shoot arrows left and right for all his smash attacks and aerials. Of course.If you seriously think a single special move counts as being an archer, I don't know what to tell you.
