I feel like Steve has a good chance too for pretty similar reasons as Fortnite Jonesy. I can understand where you're coming from, but I really think these huge games can find their way to a character slot based on how much they impacted culture alone.
Nah I think we all know deep in our hearts how likely they are.
A majority of the characters we're discussing are the same ones we were discussing when Sakurai first announced that there would be DLC for Ultimate almost two years ago.
You forgot 4. “Not being the character I want”.
Fair enough lol
Jonesy could get the most outrage out of any character in Smash history.
I mean, there's nothing stopping them from puling a Belmont and creating a composite moveset that draws from both Sakuras. Smash has a tendency of drawing from other characters for the sake of a complete moveset, even into FP1, namely Byleth using all four main Relics and their corresponding Lord's animations, and Hero using various spells they can't learn across all four different incarnations.
And that's a big reason I keep going with my gut; The brain has habitually failed me, so the gut is the only reliable figure left for me to trust.
There's even a possible 5. Comeback mechanic. The whole idea is to destroy the environment in order to get materials right? We all know how stuff like that gets translated to Super Smash Bros.
Smash fans: "Our hatred has ended with Corrin and Byleth. Jonesy is the true evil in this roster."
Don't get me wrong a playable Fortnite character would not shock me I actually would be pretty cool with it Something about it though just seems like it doesn't have a great chance at being playable many small mostly negligible things like a lack of music. that chance is still there and higher than a lot of others I just wish I could explain the energy it has.
This is why I've brought up characters like Sakura or Kiryu. They seem like the kinds of characters that would fit into Smash perfectly yet are ones nobody would ever expect to get in.
I really haven’t paid much attention to Fortnite, but, the trailers and advertisements and things have music right? We got a remix of the music from BotW’s reveal trailer (not from the game itself, from the reveal trailer specifically,) so they could consider doing the same for Fortnite if there aren’t legal issues with that and there aren’t good alternatives.
Is it really that surprising when in 8 months we only know a single character, meaning we're almost halfway through the deadline and only know 1 of 6 characters? In the same time frame for the first pass, we already knew 3 of the 5, Min Min's also not exactly a huge character whereas Joker's from a fan favourite game for the 2010s and because Nintendo doesn't want to do what almost every other company does and announce the characters right off the bat, people may not feel comfortable with spending 30 bucks on just Min Min.
I mean, we know Sakurai wanted to remove Marth and Roy from the western versions of Melee and he also said that had he known Mother 3 wouldn't get localized, Lucas wouldn't have gotten inNot entirely true.
EDIT: Also, I doubt the amount of Japanese characters in a game using characters mostly from a single Japanese company is due to some sort of bias.
Nah Cloud just got launched by the dolphin in Junon and it didn't come back for him
I mean. The fact you said 'until Persona 5' really helps the claim that P5 is the game people think of first when they think of Atlas
You'd think he wouldn't have that standard after the positive response to those characters in the West.
Which is not that likely when the biggest franchise in FP1 is only big in Japan.
Marth was Melee era and a special exception if anything (plus he was a base game character, not one you had to pay extra for). Lucas was a fluke and was only included because Sakurai didn't know Mother 3 wasn't going to be localized. He's said that he wants to avoid another situation like that which has kept Takamaru out.Not entirely true.

I mean, what standard? In Melee, there were currently no plans to bring Fire Emblem over to the states, so at the time, it would have sucked to have c
In the end, he really was the chosen one all along
Being Melee era clearly didn't matter as we'd have had Ayumi Tachibana. Lucas was also a base game character yet Sakurai still said he'd have scrapped him had he been able to see the future. Not that this argument matters much when the Japan only characters you're referring to aren't even Japan only to begin with
Wasn't Fire Emblem purposefully put in to convince everyone else in the world that they wanna play Fire Emblem?Yeah,
Nope, Sakurai planned on cutting them for the Western release but got convinced by playtesters to keep them in. Marth was added because Marth was a huge request and FE3 is to Japan what Super Metroid is to us. Roy was just a quick clone to pad out the roster who had convinient timing until they ended up delaying FE6 and rewriting Roy's personality
Honestly? In terms of big western games, I think several other options are more likely. Halo, Minecraft and League of Legends are some of them imho.
and ), nobody expected these characters to be in Smash, but here they are.
Eh, speak for yourself, I was calling a 3 Houses rep from MONTHS, lol. Maybe not Byleth per se, but I was in the ballpark.I will just say that in the later reveals (
I would say it is quite difficult to call a character likely or unlikely, as I feel like these picks are going to be more random. That is pretty exciting, because it isn't the same when the character is leaked.
What I mean is that everyone was expecting the final character to be Dante or some other character that everyone loves to talk about, but it was Byleth.
Same. I saw many speculators thinking it would be Dante, but it was Byleth.
Fortnite is a contender, albeit it's very difficult to judge how likely it is. Nintendo very likely found no shortage of third parties (big and small, Western and Japanese) who would love to cooperate with Nintendo re: Smash. Like
3BitSaurus
said, Nintendo could go for another huge Western third party just as easily. I'm also of the opinion that Chief / Steve / LoL are a bit more likely since they have a clearer case, especially with the music.
At least, people would finally shut up about Byleth, so I'd be okay with that.
Sadly, they will never shut up about Byleth...At least, people would finally shut up about Byleth, so I'd be okay with that.
I see what you did there
A man can still hope, can't he?Sadly, they will never shut up about Byleth...
Im thinking about DR Sakura myself
