I really hope the Mii Costume didn't deconfirm Tails. I really don't see why we can't consider that circumstances have changed and now they can be fighters.I want several.
Tails, Knux, Eggman, and Shadow.
Sakurai was never going to add just anyone either way. My point is, there are safer choices Sakurai could've been limited to. Joker and Terry are risks as far as Smash goes. I don't recall seeing much in the way of requests for Joker till around November so he likely didn't have a lot of traction aside from Sakurai's own interest. Terry is a well known character from a less successful fighting game series whose largest fan bases reside in China, Mexico, and South America. Smash doesn't even exist in China yet after all, and Nintendo has no idea if the Switch will even take off there. Yet here we are.Not as broad as including any crazy character Sakurai feels like adding.
I'd mostly say this is true, but... if you pay much closer attention, you'll realize that most of it is from the same four games: Dream Land 1, Adventure, Super Star, and Air Ride. All games that Sakurai directed. In fact, with the exceptions of spirits and two Final Smashes, these four games tend to be the theme of Kirby's representation. Mario's route has the Kirby trio fighting against each other in a Free-For-All. Gourmet Race is the Kirby dungeon in World of Light. Marx is almost entirely based on Super Star. The items and assists all originate from those games. I could go on.There's just so much Kirby stuff in the game already when you start paying attention to everything outside of fighter (Which there are still three of).
Joker and Terry are 2 choices that seem like obvious Sakurai bias picks.Based on what?
No. You can have a Shadow echo and that's it.Can we finally get a Sonic newcomer ?
I don't find it so far-fetched that those characters would be on the list.Joker and Terry are 2 choices that seem like obvious Sakurai bias picks.
He's a massive Persona fan and King of fighters fan.
But he is an ATNo. You can have a Shadow echo and that's it.
mfw I'm a guy and find Terry Cool just because he's a big ass looser who get drunk at bar, check up on woman and play arcades games all days until there a problem to solves where he becomes the straightest golden heart Hero possible.Something I found funny.
A couple days ago, in response to Terry being revealed, I read a few people post saying "hopefully we can get more female newcomers with the additional characters to cater/appeal to female gamers."
They irony is... TERRY APPEALS TO FEMALE GAMERS, lol.
Dude is like the stereotypical pretty boy hunk, even has the long hair and everything. Like, obviously I don't speak for every girl out there, but you could literally put Terry into a romance novel as the male love interest, and he'd fit perfectly. And I'm not just saying that, lol. I came across some of the funniest posts on twitter from female Smash fans yesterday (which I won't be posting cause they're sexually explicit), but it just goes to show how much you guys know about what other people want, lol.
So can we please just admit that you want more female characters for the DLC cause you want a waifu or whatever, instead of virtue signalling and speaking for other groups when you clearly don't understand what they want? Just be honest, c'mon, lol. Stop trying to take the moral high ground to validate what you want.
You don't need to project onto others or speak as if all women are attracted to men to justify liking Terry, you can just admit that you find him hot like the rest of us.Something I found funny.

Well, obviously characters can appeal to multiple demographics, lol.mfw I'm a guy and find Terry Cool just because he's a big *** looser who get drunk at bar, check up on woman and play arcades games all days until there a problem to solves where he becomes the straightest golden heart Hero possible.
guess I'm not the demographic.
Not gunna lie, Terry gets my giblets all wiggly.You don't need to project onto others or speak as if all women are attracted to men to justify liking Terry, you can just admit that you find him hot like the rest of us.
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!But he is an AT
So its all downhill from here for Persona?He’s going to be remembered as the series’s Cloud.
No more iconic debates.Joker is a new icon. Persona 5 is quickly becoming one of the most beloved JRPGs of all-time, both in Japan & the US. It’s basically this gen’s Final Fantasy VII.

Also, since Assist trophies can also be modded to replace the model, but not mechanics, I thought of the idea of if someone makes a mod to make an assist trophy playable, such as Waluigi (pictured above), we can simply mod the assist trophy texture by replacing it with a model of a character who looks similar and/or has similar proportions, such as Papyrus for Waluigi, Scourge for Shadow, or Cutman (megaman) for Bomberman.Since Brawl, fans have been capable of modding to convert assist trophies to playable characters. Either by just a skin or a complete moveset mod. It's also possible to reskin assist trophies and pokemon besides playable characters.
In addition to making mods to make assist trophies playable, what if we made mods to replace/reskin/retexture assist trophies that we made playable?
For example, back in Brawl marioking64ds made a Super Team Bot skin for the Waluigi assist trophy as an addition to his playable Waluigi mod.

Rayman and Bandana Dee have always been popular picks, wat? LolExcept neither are all that popular DLC speculation picks?
Rex & Pyra are more popular in Japan, and Geno is more popular in the West. Those characters would garner more hype and (likely) revenue for the same amount of effort.
Mods can't come close to the official stuff today like they could in Brawl as far as I know, and they may not even be as good as they were in Brawl with the unique animations and moves (not sure); plus, going through the trouble of installing the mods (which you can't use online or at least others won't see it) is also annoying, it's much better for it to be official by Sakurai and his team.Right now out of all the DLC fighters, I've had 3 pleasings and 1 heartbreaker.
Here's a quote from another thread.

I'm frankly astounded that you've managed to miss the point of most people asking for more female characters in Smash by this much.Something I found funny.

I'll take it!No. You can have a Shadow echo and that's it.
I mean, my beliefs make me think "It's kind of ****ed how Ganondorf, King of Evil, is the only character in on the CSS with dark skin" so I can't entirely disagree. Which now that i think about it, one of my favourite choices for a newcomer, Sol Badguy, is basically Indian. We stan even harder nowI'm still very upset we never got the female versions of the Dragon Quest III and IV protagonists, only the male ones.

Even if, given the choice with characters with multiple genders, I always go with the male since I'm male too (yes, I even play male Wii Fit Trainer), I still think it's a huge bummer that Square Enix or Sakurai or whoever opted not to include them, even if I understand making 2 more unique models was asking for a lot on top of the 4 unique models for the other heroes.
A lot of women like Dragon Quest, especially in Japan, but just adding the men won't satisfy every female Dragon Quest fan.
It's a different story for characters like Phoenix Wright or Professor Layton. Women are huge fans of those games, and wouldn't really complain if only the titular male leads were playable. Nonetheless, I have a hard time believing that including them but not any female characters, particularly female LEADS, from other games in the DLC would "solve the problem" so to speak.
Generally I don't like gamers, particularly male gamers, glossing over the fact that men regularly get prioritized over women as if it's not a big deal, but that's just me and my weird radical beliefs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know, I've heard a lot of female gamers on here pretty upset, basically saying they only like to play with female characters. They definitely aren't happy.Something I found funny.

Maaaaaaaaan we need way more "super duper popular and iconic" dark skinned characters in video games.I mean, my beliefs make me think "It's kind of ****ed how Ganondorf, King of Evil, is the only character in on the CSS with dark skin" so I can't entirely disagree.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I think part of that has to do with the lack of POC video game characters to choose from when it comes to Smash, and maybe the fact that Japan obviously isn't as diverse as a place like the states. I can't imagine too many black characters are coming out of Japan TBH.I mean, my beliefs make me think "It's kind of ****ed how Ganondorf, King of Evil, is the only character in on the CSS with dark skin" so I can't entirely disagree.

I mean, Japan has been pushing for diversity and feminism for decades, and as seen with Watanbe's new anime which got on Netflix, diversity with skin colours has been pushed too. Although yeah, it's less that Smash has a problem with that and more of a gaming industry problem.Maybe I'm ignorant, but I think part of that has to do with the lack of POC video game characters to choose from when it comes to Smash, and maybe the fact that Japan obviously isn't as diverse as a place like the states.

A lot of characters now have coloured skin alts, which is a major improvement in the gaming industry all together.I mean, my beliefs make me think "It's kind of ****ed how Ganondorf, King of Evil, is the only character in on the CSS with dark skin" so I can't entirely disagree.
