I mean...Microsoft still pushes B&K through merch quite a bit and Phil Spencer not once, but twice made public support for the character to be included. Add Rare Replay always being an item Microsoft loves to advertise and I wouldn't exactly say Banjo is really all that niche, especially to people who play Nintendo games like Smash Bros.
That's easy, you play the Genocide route and kill him. Why do you think his remains are bundled with the Megalovania track?
While there's no evidence of ballot influence, we DO Sakurai has said a Hero was requested for a loooong time but he only felt it was actually possible when developing Ultimate, which is what he said during the DQXIS launch stream
Goemon is. But one can hope dood. One can hope.
would it though?
I dont trust leakers to much. They all seem shifty. And I can ask that question. But I already know most of the canned answers. I feel the effects of NG are overstated. It is not a retro game I ever really hear about. I find NG in the same boat as MN mostly.
That is true. but I feel like Fan demand played a larger role.
I don't think that Sakurai sees it that way.
I dont think anyone should see it that way. They have limited resources and are certainly not going to make every character original. I am happy certain characters were at least acknowledged.
I agree wholeheartedly, BUT, to plays devil's advocate, the dude was getting harassed and ass blasted for saying that there wouldn't be a lot of characters in the game, which turned out to be true
Why do people think we are going to get echos when we didn't through-out the pass and Sakurai himself said so
I dunno. I feel like Coco would cause at least some degree of model frickery based on her size and proportions.
Internet whispers, don’t want to give specific names but an user from a big gaming forum said that Nintendo wanted Sora but the money Disney asked was too much to be profitable for them.
I can see Coco being a Crash alt, they have to fit her proportions a bit, they do that for Enderman, why not for Crash little sister?. It can be a good detail to include both of them lf Crash gets in, as both Crash trilogy and Crash 4, you can swipe at any time between them.
But only one of them is called that. I mean, his YT is literally called IAmShifty!
Stupid Disney. Ruins everything they touch.

I am not sorry.
But really, even though I have no horse in the NG race, I hardly think it's a bandwagon. Hayabusa is a classic and beloved character that people like since the NES era, so they want him in. Really, I'd say not seeing talks about him is more on you than on his games "not being influential".
Yeah, but he's still, you know, bone. Cuphead's going to be an issue too, since the head of a Cuphead Mii Gunner is shorter than a normal Mii's.
Genre aside, two characters from rated M series in one pass seems a bit much based on what we have gotten so far. Anything is possible though, especially since classic Ninja Gaiden isn't M rated.
Venus of the Desert Bloom
was right, that new article was a doozy.
I'm personally always cool with a Mii Costume for even series I like the most. 90% of the Smash community seems to see it as a shaft so I felt saying anything else would rub someone the wrong way.
Please enlighten me. I'd love to see a character like Scorpion in but from what I've seen and heard from him worldwide, I've lost all hope with that one.Damn,
one day scorpion will be on the front page, that man needs a history lesson with how many people keep saying hes banned
Okay, so?
No. I acknowledge people want him, but I dont think he is a legitimate possibility. To many characters in his exact same position were Mii skinned.
I was thinking more that you'd take him apart and wear his skull over your Mii's head.
Y'all jump on the bandwagon for Travis one time and now everyone's gonna be a Mii costume.
You're going to have to give me a few hours of dedication if you want me to give you a bootleg Smashboards article, but the gist is that Mortal Kombat isn't banned in Japan as people online, and for some reason Wikipedia still, claim. You can get MK11 in Japan, it just isn't localized. Mortal Kombat is a juggernaut of the fighting game genre and influential to many other game series. Easiest one off the top of my head is SamSho, it wouldn't exist without MK. Sometimes I question whether people see Smash as a celebration of gaming or a celebration of gaming from Japan specifically to pretend other games don't exist.
I never wanted Travis as playable. But I see Akira, Altair, Ashley, Black Knight, Cuphead, Goemon, Heihachi, Isaac, Saki, Sans, Travis and others and see it happening that way.Y'all jump on the bandwagon for Travis one time and now everyone's gonna be a Mii costume.

I’d be disappointed but in a game where I got more than I reasonably could’ve asked for I’d be fine with that. I got Snake back, K. Rool, Ridley, Simon, Banjo, and even wonderful surprises like Terry and Steve. The game was perfect after Simon and K. Rool. Everything else has been and always will be gravy for me.
What? What is the line of reasoning behind this, because all I'm getting from you is that characters that are often requested might become Miis instead, which would apply to every single speculated character so I doubt that's what you mean.
They have limited space. And most requested characters WILL be mii costumed. Which ones is a guessing game. Thinking Ryu is a certain even though he has not been relevant for years, has had no real new games in years and is only really speculated because of smash speculation is not someone I put confidence in.
It's called legacy. That's why they're usually called legacy characters. Because they did something amazing or influential in their time with kickass games. Hayabusa is a character met with constant praise when they talk about him. NG is just a good series, and this man is in DoA, got a whole Terry situation.
Most of these were base game costumes (or PreMiium indies), though. The only Mii Costumes in DLC that are anywhere close to Ryu's situation are Goemon, Heihachi and Travis - and even then the former is more niche than NG, and Heihachi is a costume returning from 4. So really it was just Travis.
This, but then you get people this thinking a 99 cent costume was meant to be a personal attack
I think Legacy is overrated. And it does not really mean anything given we have Joker, Blyeth, MinMin and Steve. For the Terry situation. Not really. Terry was still in a game as recent as 2/3 years ago. More of a Banjo situation, but with people only jumping on him because of a leaker saying his name.It's called legacy.

Believe what you want man, but it's your L to hold if it comes to fruition.
Most of the base characters were in the same boat. If we go with DLC, arguing whom is/is not more niche is a loosing battle.
And I still think those people are crazy.
tbf we've already gotten various characters in Ultimate that fit the same description you've made. No one is saying Ryu is a lock but he does have some things pointing towards his favor compared to other characters. Koei Tecmo has had a really good relationship with Nintendo and according to Vergeben they have been in talks with Nintendo over Smash. Ryu has both classic and modern fans thanks to his modern action game reboot, his legacy spans generations. We've also heard Ninja Gaiden has some form of revival coming next year, which fits what Team Ninja said earlier about them being interested in tackling Ninja Gaiden again. Sure he could get mii costumed, but so could every other character so it's kind of a moot point.
No, I meant Hayabusa was just in other games that weren't his own, like how Terry is in KoF. I agree that it is a Banjo situation in the sense of it being nostalgia, but I don't think Shinobu leaking him less than a day before his reveal had any impact on people wanting him than nostalgia-ridden dudes who have been supporting Banjo for over a decade.
