pretty decent list in my opinion.
Honestly... this pass would be exciting in that I'd be introduced to so many new characters that I mostly only know from obscure speculation.
if the ceo of coronavirus doesnt show up for 15 minutes were legally immune to the virus
Wow this is a bop! If the Sonic the Hedgehog series had more songs like this I'd probably be a huge Sonic music fan.
As the guy who likes the cartoony characters with incredibly unique silhouettes, I'd find this to be a pretty -meh- pass.
This would actually be pretty satisfying to me. I'd only have one character that is attached to my childhood- Scorpion- and ultimately I think that is what everyone wants the most (even if they can reason other characters make sense and are exciting).
I don't know how Arle can get in over Kiryu from the Yakuza franchise.
Mortal Kombat isnt sold, legally, in Japan. That doesnt make it unpopular. It can still be purchased- and the franchise, like Tomb Raider or Resident Evil, is an entire media franchise (and thusly why, at over 6billion in sales, is only second to Street Fighter in overall profit).
To be fair a family party game will sell way, way, way more than a Japanese style rhythm game.
I really feel Nintendo missed the opportunity with Rhythm Heaven.
1-2 switch should have been Rhythm Heaven.
To introduce the Switch- and it should have come prepackaged.
I wish I lived in that alternate timeline.
(or at least that I didnt buy 1-2 Switch before playing it).
Puyo puyo have a way bigger history than Yakuza. Also I think Puyo puyo is as popular as Yakuza in Japan. I think both could happen and we shouldn't sleep on Puyo puyo Japan popularity.
Simple. Yakuza is more well known, and Kiryu has far greater moveset potential.
Bruh this is super suggestive
A Japanese Rhythm Game can be a family party game. In fact, it is.
Honestly- I see two big arguments.
Times never change, do they?
Rex is a maybe IMO, but seeing as to why Heihachi was rejected, I'm not holding my breath for him. As for the rest of the scrapped characters, I'm doubtful.
Sounds unlikely but I'd be cool with it. I like Arle and Scorpion but dislike Waluigi. I'm neutral towards the rest.
It's actually only called Yakuza internationally. It's called something else in Japan, but I can't remember what.
You want an argument for why she's likely? She isn't.
I'm kinda getting tired of the moveset potential argument. Nearly every character has moveset potential, it's just that some are easier to visualize than others.
Like a Dragon. I know. But that may or may not cause problems with Nintendo marketing you never know.
If you’re gonna pitch me something pitch it right or else I ain’t sold.
I don't think any third party was chosen because of their moveset potential.
It's more so because Yakuza has far greater recognition outside of Japan.
Do you mean to say only characters that are popular in Japan, or characters that appeal only to Japan?
I'd like to hear what makes you think that.
because of Western popularity.
Mostly because that's how Smash operates. The only Western character we got on because of fan demand and Microsoft's budding relationship with Nintendo.
Wait, which one?
Is it more well know in your house? Do you lack imagination to create a moveset for a magical girl and blobs with faces? I don't see how that makes Arle less likely, even if you want to compare the success of a Japanesse company to its series sells outside their home country, popularity is not everything, so been more well known isn't exactly groundbreaking when there is not a really big gap between franchises, even if that were the case we cannot even know for sure if she is less recognizable overall. I honestly i am at a lost with the moveset potential comment, you could have at least elaborated why you consider Kiryu has more potential instead of just mentioning it.
I don't know if they want to put in characters that most Western gamers have never heard of.
Oh ****. The fact that Yakuza has practically doubled or more the entire franchises sales in the past 5 years is a shock to me, actually.
You know that's the exact same argument people used against Dragon Quest, right?
Actually I was talking about Yakuza as an entire franchise.
Ridley and Little Mac are virtually unknown in Japan. Pretty sure being western will have no impact on how Nintendo, not Sakurai, will choose the characters. Sometimes it just comes down to business whether we love the character or hate them.
That’s what I was talking about too?
Do what they did with Assassins creed and instead of SMASH BROS X YAKUZA it's SMASH BROS X THE KAZUMA KIRYU SERIES
Both characters were created by a Japanese company, so I don't count them.
I can totally understand this criticism; especially Ryu and Travis with their swords, though obviously still distinct, in silhouette can seem similar. Unfortunately, I happen to think most commonly talked about caroony/antropomorphic characters are unlikely for one reason or another.
I will fully admit my own bias on that one. I do consider her within the realm of possibilities, if maybe a long shot. I don't think Touhou's popularity should be dismissed out of hand, though it isn't unparalleled nor is it all she needed to get into Smash. I do think Touhou does have a spot in gaming history as an exemplar shooter/bullet hell, even if its path hasn't crossed Nintendo's often.
Sorry, then. I just woke up, my reading comprehension isn't the best.
