He's canonically referred to as "Slayer" in Eternal, so maybe that?If there's a Doomguy Mii Costume, what would they do? Doomguy, Doom Soldier, Doom Marine, they all have Doom in the name. Would they just call him "guy"?

I feel like the bigger clue is the 6 characters that are already IN Ultimate.You can tell this is old with Decidueye lmao.
Thats what I heard a lot of people say about MinecraftYeah, let's be honest, Mortal Kombat will never happen in Smash.
Yeah but Mortal Kombat lacks the popularity in Japan as opposed to Minecraft which is beloved worldwide.Thats what I heard a lot of people say about Minecraft
Again, you're comparing apples with oranges.Rain was Overshadowing her? I thought it was the other way around, since I see more Mileena talk than Rain, and not because Rain isn't hype, but just because Mileena was getting So Much pushback, that there's the whole thing about the Mileena Stans, and how Boon finally caved in
I get Mileena was in MKX, and I know the Contexts of Smash and MK are different, but here's how I Look at it
Like Waluigi, Mileena Got Major Pushback for not being in MK11, and like Waluigi, it seemed like she wasn't meant to be Playable at least from the start.
And as for Rain, There was also Sadness in him not being Playable, like how People are Sad that characters like Isaac and Shadow aren't Playable yet, and Rain was used as a Move for Shang so it seemed like he might not have been Planned to be Playable
That's why I'm comparing the characters. as for Furhter Comparisons, Noob, Jade, among other Popular veterans that returned would probably be the K.Rool of the game, Fujin is the Banjo of the Game, Spawn is the Ridley of the game (if he were DLC), something like that
Mortal Kombat is both very niche AND banned from being sold in Japan, so it's likely Sakurai and Nintendo Japan's higher-ups may not even know that it exists.Thats what I heard a lot of people say about Minecraft
Not banned, just not localized.Mortal Kombat is both very niche AND banned from being sold in Japan, so it's likely Sakurai and Nintendo Japan's higher-ups may not even know that it exists.
Incineroar as Scorpion because he's the closest thing we can get to a fire user with a "GET OVER HERE!" moveI do admit to at least wanting to see a Mortal Kombat spirit event just to see whom they would choose to represent various MK characters.
The image of the Ice Climbers paired with an image of Sub-Zero would make it worth it.
Let's go King Dedede as Shao KahnI do admit to at least wanting to see a Mortal Kombat spirit event just to see whom they would choose to represent various MK characters.

The only spirit fight where the foe frequently crouches, because that's Dedede's best taunt and Shao Khan needs to taunt to be accurateLet's go King Dedede as Shao Kahn
Sakurai is incredibly well versed in gaming, he 100% knows what Mortal Kombat is.Again, you're comparing apples with oranges.
Trying to think that Mileena is the Waluigi or that Fujin is the Banjo (which is probably the most accurate comparison on the list and even then it's still a stretch) is just... It feels like a forced, arbitrary thing because again, these characters were already in a previous MK, so they're not "new" like Waluigi or Isaac or Geno would be.

Doesn't matter when Nintendo is the one making the suggestions.Sakurai is incredibly well versed in gaming, he 100% knows what Mortal Kombat is.
It's absolutely gonna be Ed Boon because he's the only one between the two who has told lies in the past.I wish for one day that Sakurai and Ed Boon meets in person. I wanna see whose the true troll king of gaming.
To add to that, despite what a lot of people here believe, Mortal Kombat isn't outright banned in Japan. The newer games never officially released in the region, so they're about as banned in Japan as DoA Xtreme 3 is in the West.Not banned, just not localized.
The first Puyo Puyo came out this month, back in 1991.Special Spirit Events seem to be released on Anniversaries of a Franchise, or when a New game comes out
In regards to Arle, when does Puyo Puyo 2 release, or when their Anniversary is?
Well if you Want Arle, you better hope the Week after Next week is not gonna kill her off thenThe first Puyo Puyo came out this month, back in 1991.
oh dear

I updated the list so it's more accurate. I removed all the characters that are Fighters, assist trophies/pokeball summons or full Mii costumes. Characters who are spirits are left on the board because of Min Min. You can thank me later.
I pick:
Sora (5)
Decidueye (5)
Crash Bandicoot (4)
The lobster thing down in the bottom right corner (1)
They could at least know about 2, 3, and Trilogy.Sakurai and Nintendo Japan's higher-ups may not even know that it exists.
The "too many ball moves" criticism comes mostly from two different camps: A) those with a gameplay perspective (me included) - a lot of Sonics (especially online) play campy Sonics. The campy Sonic playstyle rely on Side B or Down B, frequently fake out approaches and when he actually comes close he'll try to Cherry Tap damage or KOs on the opponent. It becomes extra aggravating in two scenarios 1) when the camper's a stock ahead, or 2) in Quickplay, when the camper comes back and forces Sudden Death. I'd go so far to say that the campy Sonic contributed heavily to the #FixUltimateOnline uproar, since Ultimate's bad online leaves much less time for the opponent to react to Side B or Down B.Honestly the talk about too many ball moves is kind of missing the point of Sonic. Curling up into a ball is his most reliable form of attacking, kind of like how Crash's most reliable form of attack is spinning but I digress.
In my mind, the Crash spin should be a normal attack because again it's his most reliable way of attacking. It'd act more like a "get off me" tool than a combo starter. It would work much like Megaman, Min Min and Steve's neutral and side tilt where you can attack while walking which would be faithful to the trilogy. The down tilt slide kick should be cancelled by jumping which would make him perform the Super jump. Down aerial would be his body slam but it wouldn't act like a stall n' fall, he would rise a few inches then gradually fall much like in the trilogy.
For his specials, I'd set up so Crash would use all the Power ups he would unlock in Warped (Minus the Crash Dash)
Neutral Special has to be Fruit Bazooka so the special button can be held down to control the crosshair and then let go to fire a Wumpa Fruit, It also makes it pretty faithful to the trilogy.
Side Special would be the Death Tornado spin as it is usually used to extend Crash's air time to perform trickier jumps. I know this would lead to the same complaints about Sonic and it's not exactly faithful to the trilogy but it fits well for what it's used for.
Down Special is the Super Charged Body Slam which would be a regular stall n' fall.
But yeah that's how I'd imagine Crash Bandicoot would work.
I kinda doubt that - not just due to 2, 3 and Trilogy, but Mortal Kombat is also one of the main indirect reasons the ESRB was formed (together with Night Trap). Nintendo's higher ups would not forget the congressional hearings in America - especially not when CERO was created in 2002 and used the ESRB as a model., so it's likely Sakurai and Nintendo Japan's higher-ups may not even know that it exists.

I think only the franchise should be deconfirmed because trying to shut down an entire company for one franchise is ridiculous.Well if you Want Arle, you better hope the Week after Next week is not gonna kill her off then
Actually Speaking of which I have a theory, It's Called Spirit Board Deconfirm Theory....
-Pretty much, if a 3rd party Company gets a Spirit board for any Franchise, than that Company is Soft DeConfirmed for getting a fighter
Capcom got a Spirit Board Last Pass, and they didn't get a fighter last pass either
Considering that Square got TWO Spirit Boards, Square would be Soft Deconfirmed for this Pass
But I don't believe this Theory though, though I think I'm more wary of New Company getting new Spirit Board (Like Arc sSystem Works), and their chances of getting character
They could at least know about 2, 3, and Trilogy.
You know what? Those are fair points.I kinda doubt that - not just due to 2, 3 and Trilogy, but Mortal Kombat is also one of the main indirect reasons the ESRB was formed (together with Night Trap). Nintendo's higher ups would not forget the congressional hearings in America - especially not when CERO was created in 2002 and used the ESRB as a model.
That's the Crazy thing though, MK11 isn't even on the Switch in Japan. I mean perhaps there were talks with NOJ, but I imagine most of the talks were with NOAHonestly I think its entirely likely many in Nintendo of Japan are well familiar with MK, especially given that MK11 ended up on Switch.
I just think they're likely indifferent to it overall outside that latter game.

I've never taken this as anything more than just Harada trolling with news sites taking it as a chance to get tons of clicks by making it look like a controversy. Harada wasn't involve in Smash in any capacity. Does anyone here really think he'll go his way to force Nintendo to stop working on characters that have been in development for a year or so?You guys are a spammer.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't know why Harada would know. I know he has an important position in Bandai Namco, but negotiations with other 3rd party companies are done, as far as we know, between Sakurai/Nintendo and said 3rd party. It's not like Harada or some higher ups at Namco are involved. At least, that's something we don't know.I kinda thought about that. I don't know if it means anything, but it might be some food for thought.
See to me, it's not really him personally blocking these characters, it's more of an NDA kinda thing. Like he knew for certain that Nintendo wasn't putting in Master Chief, Crash, Arle, etc for FP1 or FP2 so he decided to rip the band-aid off and namedrop them here.
I don't think this really deconfirms anyone. But it is kinda interesting that we've gotten three characters since this tweet (Byleth, Min Min and Steve) and none of them faced the wrath of Harada in this tweet.
