bro there's no chance in hell roblox is getting in smash

No but if they did add it I would still stand by my statement on it.

Besides, the topic is just for fun. Any characters you mention for it don't have to be a good pick, likely, or even one that you want for you to mention it.

Here's something fun: If X character gets in smash, what is one very inconsequential thing they must have?

Example: If Knuckles gets in smash then his hit and/or death quote must be "Oh no".

If Sgt. Cortez ever gets into Smash bros, he'll say "It's time to split!". That's all I got... :^(

 

[krokotopia101]

Honestly, I would never put Klonoa or NiGHTS on the same level as Pac-man or Megaman. So let's just agree to disagree on that regard. In the possible or not, I feel with each reveal we get more and more chances for a lot of characters.

But in this case, neither Klonoa nor NiGHTS really have a chance. Nah. It's my fault for putting them in the same place as Megaman & Pacman. But if Klonoa's a Namco property, then....he got beat by a Tales of character.

Klonoa does seem to have a cult following so he may get Assist Trophy status someday.

Did someone mention Sgt. Cortez?

And not invite me?!

Real talk: I enjoy Timesplitters and would welcome the Space Marine Extraordinare!

Elenor Camuel (or any PSO rep).

Spoiler: Photon. Chair. Taunt.

Shantotto (Final Fantasy XI): Ojou-sama laugh for her victory animation.

If Jill Valentine gets in, there needs to be at least a few nods to the insanely quotable OG Resident Evil dialogue. Her boxing ring title should be "the master of unlocking" and there needs to be a victory screen where Barry shows up and says the "Jill Sandwich" line.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Has to be King's Quest right? It even got a revival in 2015.

Nah man. Maniac Mansion is the one that was big on the NES.

Or Shadowgate. I think that one was even popular in Japan.

Wait I thought Monkey Island was a 90's game didn't PotC come out in the early 2000's or am I missing something?

It's delightfully circular, where the games drew inspiration from the ride, and then those games went on to influence the movies.

I had King's Quest IV - VI from hand-me downs of old cousins and I played it on old PCs when I was like 5.

I owned all of the KQ games when they were new. Because I am a mummy of a man...

 

[Flyboy]

I have such a fascination for Maniac Mansion. Someone from that series, probably Bernard, would be fun. Using the tentacles and all the wacky inventions would make for a fascinating moveset.

Kyle Hyde is one of my dreams. I had fun debating his merits in RTC - imagine a hard-boiled, hard-nosed detective in Smash! Attacking with glasses of scotch and improvised weapons, being a bareknuckle brawler, all in that beautiful sketched style!

I also love Ashley and D from Another Code. It's a shame that the devs went bankrupt - during the DS era they were right there with Ace Attorney and Professor Layton as absolute power houses in the Adventure game revival.

Another possibility is a Zero Escape character. I don't want to spoil anything from that wonderful series, but I think a composite "Zero" character could be fascinating but their final smash would probably be a bit too violent...

 

[Freduardo]

Sakurai actually did make Ring Fit Adventurer as a dlc character but they won’t release it because Sakurai made the character only work if played with the ring con.

Definitely Bernard, since he went on to star in the sequel.

In his reveal trailer, he needs to set fire to Pichu, and then Snake shows up and KOs him.

The real best choice however is Zero III as playable.

Also, Final Smash could be

Spoiler: Virtue's Last Reward spoilers

Radical-6 and it just makes opponents SD

Wow, so I'm not the only who's wondered how Kyle Hyde and Ashley Robbins would translate to Smash...

 

[SpectreJordan]

People seem to be forgetting that Capcom fans aren't fans of one specific Capcom franchise but a bunch of them, which is why Capcom VS whatever games tend to bring a ****ton of Capcom fans

100% this. A Resident Evil Character is my most wanted Capcom character. But Capcom is my favorite game company with a ton of games/series I love, so I’d be happy with damn near anyone.

 

[Mamboo07]

If Shake King gets in, his Star KO has him saying "DO'H I MISSED!" in a hilariously deep voice.
(Shake King is from Wario Land Shake It! Which was the last game before the Land series died.)

 

[Freduardo]

Sakurai actually did make Ring Fit Adventurer as a dlc character but they won’t release it because Sakurai made the character only work if played with the ring con.

I made it worse:

Ring con and leg strap moveset:

Move forward: Jog lightly
Dash: jog quickly

Hold ring con pointing down and press in: Jump
Pointing down and pull: down A Smash
Hold ring con pointing down and rotate to the left: Shield
Hold ring con pointing down rotated to the left and press in: Dodge forward
Hold ring con pointing down rotated to the left and pull: dodge backward

Rotate right: change direction

In front of you and press in: Neutral A (smash if done in the way that shoots the gold ring)
In front of you and pull: side tilt a
In front of you rotated left and push: Up A tilt (smash if done right)
In front of you rotated left and pull: down A tilt

Above you and press in: Neutral B
Above you and pull: side B
Above you rotated left and pull: Down B
Above you rotated left and push: Up B

Hitting the d Pad buttons on the ring con’s face act as a c stick., the shoulder button will still shield, and the joystick will move when your legs won’t.

The only way to truly play “For Glory”

If Hayabusa gets in he HAS to have his Izuna Drop. It's iconic to him... and bad ass.

Sackboy needs his suplex, it’s only necessary.

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Other than the endless debate on whether or not Greninja's humansona is actually in the game, not that much. We're just kinda shooting the **** so we can have other stuff to talk about until November comes around.

Octoling must have a victory screen that looks like the Test Passed screen in Octo Expansion but the mem cake looks like a Smash Ball

Neku’s final smash must be the special attack he uses at the end of TWEWY’s final battle

 

[Idon]

That's not what I'd consider inconsequential. In fact, if every one of his moves doesn't lead directly into the izuna drop, I'm going to be very disappointed.

inb4 that's his gimmick and every move has a normal way to finish or an optional way to lead into an Izuna drop.

 

[DevaAshera]

So it was another HMK video. Thanks for the explanation. I’m personally hoping for some female characters like Morrigan, 2B, or Jill, cause I prefer playing females, but I wouldn’t mind Sora. Kingdom Hearts is part of my childhood and it would be amazing if that world was brought to Smash.

Oh, how I would LOVE Morrigan in Super Smash Bros..with Lilith as an Alt or Echo Fighter..but given their costumes, and other more popular Capcom characters, that'll never happen..2B and Jill are possible..getting Sora, 2B, Jill, and (dare I dream) Morrigan would be a dream come true and I could die happy.

If Zhao Yun's in smash, Lu Bu must make an appearance on the Dynasty Warriors stage where he 1 shots anyone that gets near him.

 

[Will]

i was thinking to myself if DOOM or ES would have a better chance when it comes to bethesda properties

i was trying to do my research, and man, when comparing all of the elder scroll games together

i think we're really underestimating how popular skyrim got. no wonder todd howard kept pushing the rereleases, that **** sold. makes me wonder how successful ES6 is gonna be.

 

[ROBnWatch]

Octoling must have a victory screen that looks like the Test Passed screen in Octo Expansion but the mem cake looks like a Smash Ball

I need this now.

Also, if Porky ever gets in, he needs to have a taunt where he either A. Sticks his tongue out at you (reference to when he was inside the ASC in Mother 3) or B. A taunt where he says “Spankety, spankety, spankety.” because he’s an immature delinquent in EarthBound and he says this multiple times. He also needs to obviously come with a “Porky Means Business” track.

A victory screen of him walking forward through Pigmasks or Porky-Bots on either side clapping for him would be nice too, though not as necessary.

Up throw that does high % and buries opponents, perhaps?

 

[GoodGrief741]

Oh, in that case it's really apples to oranges because as influential as Skyrim has been in defining a generation of open world titles, Doom is kinda the granddaddy of FPSes. So you really have one huge game vs. a franchise of many really big games.

However I agree that Doom's chances are overblown.

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Honestly I think Dragonborn and Doomguy are both likely for different reasons. Skyrim is easily one of the defining games of this decade and was one of the first titles shown off for the Switch, while Doom has 20+ years of legacy and was one of the main pioneers of the FPS genre. Skyrim edges out Doom in terms of eastern popularity, but the western demand for Doomguy is incredibly overwhelming. Honestly I'm expecting Doomguy to show up in the next fighters pass if only because of what Sakurai said about more Western requests being likely and Bethesda being more than willing to play ball with Smash.

 

[ThatOneAnon]

Considering the events of the past 24 hours I'm gonna laugh if Sakurai announces he's delaying #5 due to "unforeseen circumstances" during the Terry showcase

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I feel like Doom edges out specifically because it's had a very stable popularity ever since it's inception while Elder Scrolls is... Literally Skyrim. Like, you can argue Oblivion was a big deal, and honestly, I prefer Oblivion, but I don't think ES was considered a big big deal UNTIL Skyrim. Doom has been a big deal since it's inception what with helping the ESRB become a thing, it being drastically popular, it's evolution into survival horror, the "can it run Doom" meme, and now 2016's Doom Reboot and Doom Eternal are just insanely popular. If I had to choose I would choose Doom Slayer hands down just for those reasons, but if I'm being entirely honest I'm fine with either one of them. I adore both franchises.

But, hear me out, Fallout.

 

[Idon]

The potential of Fallout making it into Smash makes me wish for a Nuclear winter.

Did Doomguy have demand before the leak though? Not trying to diminish the huge demand he has now, but as far as I've seen it was nonexistent before the leak and if so then the demand means nothing for his chances (well, at least for the Fighter Pass).

Whatever demand he had before January was very minor to my recollection.

I think there's always been a small following, but it drastically increased after Doom 2016 and its port to the Switch with the announcement its sequel is also making it to Switch. The leak probably just vocalized those followers more than anything else.

Games that aren't SOMEwhat big don't generally make it to 5 games.

It just wasn't big on consoles. It was always popular on PC.
