These people probably wanted the goat from Goat Simulator for a few weeks too.
Goat Simulator was intentionally janky and had a weird tongue to mess things up, but Untitled Goose Game has a lot of polish behind it to genuinely make you feel like a horrible goose with the same abilities as everyday geese ruining people's day. I think its appeal will be more long-lasting, like how Donut County is.

Throwing a wrench in the conversational gears here: does anyone else low-key want Goose from Untitled Goose Game as a ridiculous side-project character a la Piranha Plant?

I think a Goose could create an interesting moveset, it's a unique shape (not humanoid), and the concept of a character that's based around being an asshole to your opponent is an interesting idea.

I'll never understand the appeal of these kinds of joke characters. To me, they're just the flavour of the month. First it was wii remote safety guy, then joy-con man and now a goose.
Unlike the safety guy and Labo man, a horrible goose never goes out of style. Anyone who has ruffled the feathers of these winged dinosaurs in real life, whether directly or indirectly, will know why. I remember a handful of them chasing me when I was a kid because I made the mistake of giving one bread.

What if you (Sakurai)

wanted Doomguy in Smash

But Todd Howard said...

"Nah, I need more people to purchase The Elder Scrolls® V: Skyrim™ for the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems, so here's Dragonborn instead"
Hey, I wouldn't complain! Go for it, Todd! XD

Goose definitely separates itself from the typical flavor of the week characters, and while it isn't a likely pick it's an extremely novel character that would invoke the same fun vibes as Piranha Plant. Bring on the Goose!

Remember kids, speculation is serious business:4pacman:
Be sure to stay within the lock character safety zone! :4pacman:

To be fair at least Goose is from an honest to goodness game unlike the other two. Worth a gander on Youtube if you aren't sure if it's for you.
Would the Goose count as a video game character though? It's completely indistinguishable from any other Goose.

It's just for the lulz really. I don't want it, but the concept of a goose that goes around doing damage to fighters through sheer annoyance is hilarious.

Don't worry. We'll cell shade the crap out of it to make sure it's not confused with the real thing.

If Geese Howard gets in, "PREDICTABO" better work against Final Smashes.

Don't think it's a problem as long as the character hails from a videogame. It's not like the goose's likeness is copyrighted or anything, not to mention one of the Duck Hunt duck's palette swaps is literally a male mallard.

As long as it's called "Untitled Goose" as its character name, I'm down.

I'm just thinking because Geese originate from real life so it would count as a non-video game character and it's literally a goose.

We got a character called Hero, I don't think Goose is a problem. You can have a character be a nondescript member of any species and still be a character, that depends on personality.

Anything to stop talking about Ryu Hayabusa and Doomguy for the millionth time.

Also, it's funny.
It’s kind of weird that we keep coming back to the same two or three characters after Terry basically exposed the community’s collective blind spots, but here we are.

Then Dracula shouldn't be in Smash lol

You make a sarcastic remark but that is a fair point. I hope that means the Kingdom Hearts versions of Donald and Goofy can still make a cameo if Sora gets into Smash Bros.

Hero is just a name though. Their designs are original unlike the goose. The goose acts like a regular goose and it's name is goose.

Maybe so, but he’s a delightfully funny, cell-shaded goose.

Also, just to stir the **it, Little Mac acts like a regular man and is named Mac.

But there is no man that can look exactly like Little Mac because he has anime eyes and comes from a world where boxers do all sorts of wacky animations when they get knocked out. :ultpacman:

I think you'll find his name is Untitled "Horrible" Goose.

But yes, this is clearly a joke character yet some how I find it less grating than that one time everyone jumped on board the Yoshi Island Stork as a legit character idea.

You know who may have a good chance into Smash I see no one talking about? My favorite Summoner Brudda


Yuna would be pretty cool, and she has so many possible alt costumes she could have due to X-2's awesome dress sphere system. Although I wonder which moveset she would use seeing as she went from Summoner to Jack of all Trades?

She could work like Zelda/Shiek in Melee/Brawl. Summoner then switch to her Gunner Dressphere

Yeah with how Square Enix markets its games and how most Nintendo fans know absolutely nothing about Final Fantasy beyond Cloud, I'm going to say that if we're getting another Final Fantasy character (which is already doubtful as it is) we're literally going to have the entire cast of FF7 before we get a single character from any other game in the series.

Anyway, Jecht for Smash so I can blast this theme.

Broke: Sephiroth should be our FF villain rep
Woke: Jecht should be our FF villain rep

What about Black Mage?

Bespoke: FFXIV: Shadowbringers villain
April Fools Joke: Yu Yevon.

If there's any "general FF rep" I think it's going to be Onion Knight who can class change into black night/sage or Bartz Klauser with some Black Mage spells and animations.

Otherwise, I don't think the black mage class is by itself big enough for Square Enix to justify him. Hell, they'd probably go for Vivi just so at least there's a name attached to him.

But as far as Final Fantasy goes, I think they're done with that. If anything I could see Square Enix really pushing Nier (specifically Automata and 2B) or Star Ocean.

Or maybe even Kingdom Hearts.
