To be fair, I did specify that an upgraded Mii costume is my personal preference, not something that the fans would be okay with.
I honestly think that the chances are higher that we don't get another Square Enix rep, then chances of us actually getting one.
Considering the only Ken Sugimori artwork we got was for the SwoShi spirits, yes
There originally was probably going to be but then COVID-19 happened.
You didn't say that a character's support was just a meme, but I've seen it come up in the past as a way to dismiss or undermine popular choices, or act as though people don't "really" support them and are just doing it to be a part of the meme or whatever.
What is happening on July 7th?
People are believing a Smash reveal or maybe a Direct will happen then.
It's the 7th of July. The seventh month. That's what's happening. And the next DLC fighter is Fighter #77, and the seventh Fighter Pass character. That's why people think there might be something happening then.
Fair enough. Still, it should go without saying that, when a character who fans really want to see become a fully unique and playable instead becomes a Mii Fighter costume, they're naturally gonna be upset. Not exactly the most optimal situation, and no amount of "the Mii Fighter moveset totally fits" is gonna make it any better.
International Chocolate Day
I think it's important to note that BIG requests can also be region-based. There's absolutely a bubble there, and you can't know every BIG request without knowing the full global Smash fanbase landscape.
I mean I'm not going to police my own language on things I see as more objective like moveset potential, especially not in a general speculation thread. There are plenty of characters I would love in a vacuum, but can't envision them having a moveset worthy of the DLC uniqueness we've seen up until now. If you want softball skepticism that's drowned out by unmitigated hype, you can go to the character thread of your choice and find it there.
Some fools are tricking themselves into thinking that we will get the next fighter revealed on July 7th, on the logic by that the next fighter is both challenger pack 7 and fighter 77, so therefore it must be revealed on July 7th. Also you get bonus points in the setting up for disappointment game if you say that this fighter has something to do with the number 7 outside of being both challenge pack 7 and fighter 77.

I think Nier would be a pretty easy add. There’s only two games, its creator seems pretty chill, its composer already works on Smash & it’s something Square actively wants to push.
I definitely think a RE character was being planned. Capcom & Sakurai deciding on another series is the only thing that makes sense regarding RE not happening; Capcom seemingly never passes up on crossover opportunities, so I doubt there was any disagreements.
There might not even be a Capcom character.
It was theoretical lol
You were talking like Dante was already confirmed.
I think you're putting words in his mouth.
Is there proof of this?
This document says DMC5 sold 2 million of copies, and this is from March 2019. Nowadays the game has sold 3,5M. IIRC is the best selling entry of the franchise and according to Capcom's expectations the game has been completely successful.
we may still get some third parties but nobody too big. Crash I can see as the sole exception.
Here is the thing... and perhaps I've been unclear...Something I'd like to address on the matter of mascots and the status of Min Min and Spring Man. Like I said, we have no idea how things will go in the future for ARMS. But I want you all to pay attention to this. EvenpupNapoleon :
These are the two picture of Min Min's victory. Her Party Crash victory and her Smash Welcoming picture.
What do these picture have in common? Spring Man. These are Min Min's big moments but the ARMS team felt compelled to make Spring Man the biggest face in pic 1 and have him appear in the background in Pic 2.
I strongly believe that the ARMS team still see Spring Man as important. ARMS had two faces when it launched, Spring Man and Ribbon Girl. Min Min is obviously a new face but why does Spring Man have to lose that status when we know there can be two? I think Spring Man will still be a prominent figure in ARMS. This idea that Min Min will completely take over and Spring Man will be just one of the other guys is ridiculous to me. After all of Min Min's success they still felt the need to have Spring Man there. If they didn't care about him anymore why do that? Why draw him in the window? Why make his face so huge in the Party Crash pic? And this is after the fact. After the ARMS team knew how popular Min Min is.

, that Twintelle is actually more prominent, since she is almost the same size. She is also on the left- and while not all cultures read left to right, it is much more common, especially in the West, and is actually the order psychologically (as well as in theatrical and artistic study) that people will interpret an image, all else being equal. 
What you're saying is that Ayumi is the Geno of Japan, therefore using Geno fan logic, she's nearly a lock?
I love Geno...I just think that being an upgraded costume should be the choice to appeal to most people. I understand he has a huge... already playing Smash... fanbase, but if a character CAN be a Mii costume, I think they SHOULD be a mii costume (upgraded, meaning). Geno is the perfect candidate for this, as he has the arm, a blank face, and moves that are relatively equivalent. There are big audiences they could bring into Smash if they use Sora or Lara Croft, which are easily the two biggest characters left from franchises, as far as numerical value and recognition go (Tomb Raider, as an example, being one of the most successful media franchises of all time that comes from a video game, thanks in part to the movies). I would prefer that Smash goes big.
the same as every sendoff per Launch/DLC, who were deemed as "anti-hype" to most of the fanbase.
Nah, no thanks.
Yeah, i wonder why? Totally wasn't due to the assumption that the rest of the choices so forth would be mostly from the ballot, and the dissent for new generation Pokemon not being the most favored one, so they took the hoax for granted, No?
Some people just don't want a Mii costume, and even with a smaller fanbase, believing in what you want is powerful, and it is ultimately the happiness of fans that is the real cost here. Happiness is what should matter if fans are happy and those who try him out and like him are happy. Just saying.
If Geno were an upgraded Mii Costume... well... those didnt exist until Terry. I don't know how this timeline works for you. Perhaps the idea for the upgrades started with Sans and Terry, and got expanded over time.
One word... no.
That is probably not a good enough reason to not do it, and Waluigi is not that bad. But I did hear speculation based on the ballot was intensely bad, something like that?
This was the second Smash ballot.
Don't forget Powerpuff Girls (like that one dude on Miiverse)
The polls are reliant on the fans being honest and not doing a stupid meme pick. Fans can't always be trusted to do so, especially in a game of this scale, and that's kinda problematic.
