If it wasn't confirmed then they weren't in because of the Ballot. Nintendo chose them, anyhow.And

Here's a very neat video illustrating the design concepts behind one of my most wanted characters, Dante from the Devil May Cry Series. If you ever wondered why even the "ew anime" crowd is in love with "red dude with a sword" here's a good video explaining why:
and why calling him an edgelord is probably the worst descriptor for a character since calling Link a chatterbox.

You may remember this guy who leaked Byelth and he claimed that Crash Bandicoot is part of the fighters pass vol 2, he leaked the mouse game that is in the March indie direct.

Unrelated: every time Dark Souls gets neglected when people talk about Bamco, Elden Ring gets delayed a week. Current release is scheduled for Winter 2028

You know who else is neglected? Konami. They have Bomberman and Contra. While Bomberman is an assist trophy, he is still a popular character and has a lot of legacy. Contra is also popular and is one of the few classic NES franchises left besides Ninja Gaiden.
Edit: By neglect I mean speculation-wise

They have three playable characters from two franchises. Aside from SEGA and Capcom, that's better than what every other third party got. How they are neglected?

Plot twist: he was right about Crash and Crash is the delayed character
Konami also has Silent Hill as one of their groundbreaking horror franchises (though CERO might have something to say about the monsters) and then there’s their rhythm game line, Bemani. Dance Dance Revolution literally made rhythm games popular especially in the west

That is impressive. But still, he was wrong about the February Direct. While this does boost his credibility a bit, I'm still doubting him. If Crash is FP6 then we can talk, but for what we know, he could have used the Twitter trick.
By neglect I mean speculation wise. I rarely see Konami being brought up. I don't mean content-wise, they are definitely covered when it comes to that. What I'm saying that we should be discussing Bomberman and Contra more as they are a real possibility.

I've said it before, but the best way I've seen someone describe Dante (Besides "Wacky Wahoo Pizza Man") is that he's Sonic; He has some darkness and angst from the loss of his brother and mother, but his primary means of handling big threats in the series is wisecracking and generally having fun fighting demons stylishly while saving the world.

While he did get the mouse game right, it doesn't mean he is right on everything. For example, he incorrectly claimed that a Direct would be on February 12th. Also, he might have gotten some things wrong through old deleted tweets iirc. That being said, I still think his Crash claim should be taken with a grain of salt.

Well when first started out I was just voting for her none stop and literally thought about how holding the attack button during her combos would have her shoot her bullets just like she does in her games. After a week it went to 100 votes a day, then it went to 50, then last day I just dedicated an hour getting as much as I can, though to be fair it was voting was broken up throughout the entire day, gave me something to do when I was waiting for classes. I regret nothing.
DaybreakHorizon
The guy who predicted Sora as Fighter 11
If it's about Hitagi's Katalina rumor, that was disproven when Hitagi went into exile after being wrong. No other credible rumors about Granblue have come up since then (to the best of my knowledge).HeyDaybreakHorizon , you're the one preaching about Granblue in Smash, right? Do you mind answering this?
Verge initially "leaked" the list (more like the list got leaked and Verge backed it), and then gradually came out in support of Erdrick more and more until he pretty much just said "Erdrick is in the game."

Anyway if a character you liked included something like how Joker brought Stage Builder what would it be and why is it Sol bringing rollback netcode to Smash

Trophies would be too much work, but it'd be nice to see brief text blurbs over each Spirit being brought with, I'unno, Porky or Ganon.

Some kind of target test/smash/blast variation. I honestly found all of them fairly fun, though I honestly found Brawl's a bit meh due to being completely generic. Doesn't let you get the feel of the character as much. I got used to it, which is why 4's version worked well for me(that, and made grinding feel less tedious at times).

Man over the last couple days I ended up finding myself to be in a bit of a No More Heroes mood due to the third game releasing this year and realize how great just the music selection would be.

Would be great to hear some of the bops from TSA.
I guess you'd just digitize the **** out the evil swear words, same with Philistine, that track is basically the Psycho Soldier of the series.

Funny thing about Bomberman specifically is that him already having an assist trophy is canonically not even a problem. Just have the game make sure the assist trophy Bomberman is a different color than the player Bomberman and you’re all set.

I know you'll all hate me for this but I'd unironically prefer the Bomberman: Act Zero version

I don't even want Sol, but I would probably buy ssbu if it had good netcode.
I'll assume 'fan requests' means popular requests from the smash community, and 'popular characters' refers to popular video game characters in general.
Fan requests:
- Skull Kid
- Isaac
- Dante
- Waluigi
- Neku
- Rondoline E. Effenberg

Just some of them, I can only imagine how amazing a trailer with Elma fighting Shulk would be.

Hot take: Elma is a better character by just about every metric.
- Character design
- Writing/dialogue/story
- Fighting style translatable to Smash
- Giant Mech
- Dark skin & female

It's funny you should say that because ...
(I'm kidding)
The design itself isn't too bad. People probably hate it mainly because it's a re-design / re-imagining but with literally zero element referencing the original ...
... or people simply hate it because Act Zero was a hot mess.

You forgot:
- Alien biome stages, something we lack in Smash
- Absolute BANGERS of an OST (come on you can’t say no to Hiroyuki Sawano)
-
hell she literally IS an alien herself - a humanoid one at that. Only other aliens we got in Smash are Olimar, Dark Samus and Ridley... and if you count hybrids infused with Alien DNA, Cloud and Samus
It’s the “OW THE EDGE” of Bomberman - dare I say even the Donte
Why would you take this baby and make him edgy
Hell, even his Fanservice Waifu equivalent (Bombergirl) has design elements faithful to OG Bomberman

Gee, thanks for reminding me Bombergirl exists. Now I have to question my life choices that lead to that moment...
