He was. I also believe Verge said that Sephiroth and Dragon Quest were heard the most characters (I need to find the source though), and they so happened to be Playable
yeah. we also had these on the list: Slime (considered briefly, appears in Hero's taunt); Luminary (Hero's default appearance), Erdrick (one of Hero's alts); Crono (MIA), Geno (Spirit currently, may also have Mii costume return), and Sora (if the rumors are to be believed, tried to be negotiated for but said negotiations fell through)
It will likely be a remake. It's far too early for a new gen.
I wouldn't get it. Was he the most unpopular Sephiroth voice actor?
Sure, but it didn't, so that's a moot point - they expected a success, and they were right. So that settles the business side of things re: their inclusion, and as for the hype side, we're talking about fan perceptions of how exciting Byleth's inclusion was, which is entirely a post-release thing.
This is what im Trying to say but i hope this means we get some nice 1st/2nd Party reps
i just miss George Newbern man
While Corrin was announced near the end of Smash 4 DLC, he was not the final character, but rather, Bayonetta was.
What is really silly is that 3H fans can't just be happy that they got their character and move on already. If we had gotten Ring Fit Trainer or Officer Howard instead of Byleth nobody would have ever put into question their promotional nature, but since we got another fire emblemer instead we still have to argue the obvious a year later.
He would be a disappointment to me even though I like Halo since I didn't care about him as much.
I feel like Isaac would fit better than Crash, seeing as the latter only truly flared up recently. Might as well throw Lloyd in there too while we're at it, and after that I admittedly haven't been around long enough to say who else we could add.
To be fair, it's hard to tell when certain Smash fanbases have died down more than others, but Krystal was up there as well.
I was specifically targetting the "never ever" characters for that line, but yes, Isaac for double dipping first party, or Llyod too!
We've noticed that. It's also makes sense from a Business Standpoint since you want to secure as much Sales in the Beginning compared to at the end, so they put who they think will Sell the most
Geno just doesn't seem prioritized when they have the ability to represent Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest (which, I don't even need to describe how enormous and legendary those franchises are).
Lance Bass was a singer in N-Sync and the Idea that a member of N-Sync is in smash is just kinda funny
This is the same series whose DLC once went from Ryu and Cloud to Corrin.
I dunno about Sora and Crash, but I think the longest running requests are currently Geno, Lyn, Isaac, and Ashley.
IIRC Sora was a more popular request than Crash during the Brawl days, probably due to Crash having a dork age around then but then again so did Sonic.
If he was unpopular, thats new to me
Oh god Max's reaction vid joked about N-Sync in Smash before OWA started playing, he's too powerful
To be fair DLC for Smash 4 weren't much planned and there was no real plan beyond Mewtwo. As Sakurai was already working on Ultimate during that time and I'm going to bet my right hand that some of those deals were made for both Smash 4 and Ultimate, as Ultimate's base document, which Sakurai already said NO CHARACTERS FROM IT EVER GET CUTS was done the day of the final Smash 4 stream (so Cloud's deal was probably already sealed)
Jokingly enough, Sora was already heavily asked during the Brawl days behind Cloud and Geno, thanks to the burst of popularity of KH thanks to KH2, which is why he suddenly appeared years later in Smash Flash 2, because of this demands
I can definitely believe Sora being a big request back then, it makes a ton of sense. I just don't remember it being a thing.
Whoever said it wasn't promotional? Characters can be both promotional and popular. No need for salt.
It's history being rewriten.
They were announced and released on the same day as each other, so I'm not sure if the specification matters that much.
Hello, i am a big fan of your content i think a league of legends character would be interesting to see you weigh up
Imagine if Sephiroth's presentation just kills all the returning Mii Costumes all at once.
That I'd have to disagree with for no other reason than the fact that Goku would probably be the one character that would be more controversial than him. lol
He is well known but definitly not in the top 3/4 most gaming Villans ever characters above him are
Well he did say he would show Smash despair.
"At least Byleth is a video game character"
That might come later, but first it'd be:
realistically it'd probably just be all (or mostly) S-E costumes. I don't see Lloyd coming with him or MonHun for some reason
How the hell is a 23 year old JRPG that pushed the genre to mainstream levels and heavily influenced the genre 'too new'? It's especially funny when you can't name 'older JRPG villains' and 'boxers' while pretending One Winged Angel isn't literally the most iconic boss theme period
