This reminds me of when I dreamed of a new EX Pokémon card. It was of a red and black deer Pokémon that had two black antlers that fused together at the top. I named this Pokémon Solibuck and thought it was one of my coolest Fakémon designs yet. The sad part is it probably was considering most of them were inanimate objects with faces.
This roster is honestly fire. Even though there's a few I could live without, (Namely Waddle Dee & Arle) I'd no doubt take this lineup.
I was tempted to answer something like 'Welcome to the Smash community' but for real, i think it's only about a very vocal minority of haters.
I think there's a percentage of the community that legitimately finds anime sword figher and Fire Emblem character synonymous.
Isn't LBP a dead series? I haven't heard anything of it in years. It would be interesting to have a character who was also in Playstation Allstars. Shame that game was a poorly made Smash Clone. I think Heihachi or Dante would take that cake, though.
I don't see it happening for a multitude of reasons. For one, I don't see anymore Western reps. For another, Kasumi doesn't work as an Echo. If we were getting two first parties, I very heavily doubt one of them would be Bandana Dee. While I think that Geno is technically on the table after Hero's reveal and release, He's still very much a pipe dream for the community.
Drake would be sick. I think Sly Cooper, Heihachi, Raiden, all of 'em would be great in Smash. I loved Sir Daniel Fortesque. A Super Smash Bros. vs. Playstation All Stars game would be a sick crossover. I could see retro reps like Tomba being sick.
Well I hope they get well soon.
Oh man, I really wish that a Smash Bros vs. PlayStation All-Stars game could happen so I could have Parappa and Kirby team up. It would be so awesome if not for licensing issues.
Perhaps, though she is more popular than either of them.
Doom Slayer/Doomguy - I'm fine with it, but really only for the stage and music.
I mean, we got Ken in the base roster. He may be an Echo, but he is a Capcom rep..or Capcom USA rep, I guess.
Interestingly enough, the game has 4 random predetermined name options for both twins. The sister's names are Akane, Kaede, Misaki, or Miki, whereas the brother's names are Yamato, Kazuma, Ryo, or Hayato.
First off, you do realize that they're choosing characters for DLC at a later date than the original Fighter's Pass (not to mention Persona 5 and Dragon Quest 11 both came out in 2017 anyway), so there's no inherent reason they can't choose more recent titles in DLC. It wasn't a one time cutoff in perpetuity.
Going for such recent titles isn't a smart move. Take ARMS: people acted like it was a big deal, in the end it didn't blossom like other games like Splatoon did. Give it time to see how it evolves first, rushing is something to avoid.
Bear in mind, Arle originated as a mage in a dungeon crawler RPG. She absolutely can work as a fighter and still reference her far more popular Puyo Puyo iteration.
What do you mean by that? Arle herself started out as an RPG protagonist in Madou Monogatari, the game from which Puyo Puyo was a originally a spin-off of, so she's had moveset potential ever since she was created.
I mean, recent titles alone isn't really a good point when the DLC already kind of proves otherwise and established franchises tend to still do pretty well. Unproven new IPs I think is more of what you're going for, and even then, there isn't much to stop Nintendo from trying to make them bigger through Smash.
Hold on, I thought MARVELOUS were the ones who owned No More Heroes, like it's co-owned by them and Grasshopper Manufacture/SUDA51
Aside from the fact that this is post season 1 DLC and a character like Rex is probably no longer 'too recent', Astral Chain was actually in development before Nier Automata (it's a project that took roughly 5 years to complete); that's at least circa 2014.
Published in part by Marvelous, yes. I guess that makes it co-owned by them?
Arle is far more Compile than Sega, just as Bayonetta is more Platinum Games and Joker is more Atlus. Compile is gone, of course, but Arle is essentially an adopted franchise, and shares little parentage with Sonic and company.
I think the thing about Arle is just personal preference, but this is outright wrong. Crash has nothing to do with Sony beyond making his debut there, he has a ton of games on Nintendo platforms (which should tell you he's not owned by Sony, because when has a first party company ever released a game on a competing console while they made consoles?.) Crash is instead owned by Activision. So while he represents Sony in spirit, maybe, he has nothing to do with Kratos at all. Won't contest Crash being likely, but WHY (he came back to roaring fanfare at the perfect time) is a good place to start.
75. Doom Slayer (Doom)- Cool
You bring up Ragnarok being a "more likely" choice yet I don't even know what the hell that is. After Googling I question why you think that seems more likely than Travis.
Nah, I actually think Kiryu is pretty slept on all things considered. I know most people don't really consider Yakuza because of it being primarily associated with Playstation, but Sega has been treating the series incredibly well ever since Yakuza 0 did really well in the west, to the point where they even made PS4 ports of 3-5 specifically for the western fans. Kiryu could very well be considered Sega's secondary poster-boy alongside Sonic nowadays, so it'd make sense to go for him as the next Sega character. Plus, Yakuza 1 and 2 both had Wii U ports in Japan only, so it's not like the series is any less a stranger to Nintendo consoles than Persona or Metal Gear. Honestly Kiryu is by far my most wanted pipe-dream character, so I'd be beyond ecstatic to have him in.
As was said, the 'too recent' thing no longer matters because all of these characters were decided on after development, meaning more recent characters like Rex & Pyra, Byleth, and Officer Howard are all fairly possible. All of their games did pretty well too.
I do think Kiryu has a better shot. Yakuza being the spiritual successor of Shenmue plays a role, but Sega has also seen recent success with it. As for how unique he'd be, the game features several fighting styles for instance. Shulk may be changing Arts, but Kiryu could be changing his specials depending on his stance, going from grappler to heavy-hitter for example at a whim. Pokemon Trainer is the only one that can do something remotely similar, and Zelda/Sheik before SSB4. It also plays in Sega's interests as they've been promoting Yakuza quite a bit now, as opposed to Puyo Puyo.

I replied to all these points already, though I'll repeat one thing for good measure: I know Dixie, Octoling and Kasumi were meant as Echo fighters. I considered them as such. That's why I said cheap DLC featuring echo fighers like them isn't impossible and why they're dixie+octo are orange. Otherwise, they'd be red.
What I'd like to see instead is for Chrom to get a new, unique moveset, and for Lucina to be Chrom's echo(which makes more sense, because they're father and daughter, and wield the same weapon), and Roy to be Marth's echo. That way, instead of having 4 Marths, we have 2 Marths and 2 Chroms. Which is at least a LITTLE more variety.
Ryu Hayabusa.
Most people consider anime to be an art style. And Ninja Gaiden, at least in the modern era, doesn't use that style.
That'd be cool but who would it be
