theres a difference between saying a character should be in the game and saying a fighting game character would have a fairly easy transition in to smash

i feel like you always create arguments rather than discuss the topic at hand
Not quite my point, you see lots of cases like idk, "Oh the moveset is so easy to make!" For whatever platformer character. Fighting game characters are also adapted differently so while the core moveset is there, seeing what's done with it is cool either way as stuff is still done rather differently, especially compared to deeper games with more complex mechanics

Is this not a topic? A spark for discussion should be fine, especially as we're both being civil

Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
I disagree.

Cloud, Shulk, Joker, and Hero are all from JRPGs, yet their moves were all translated very differently in to Smash. Mario, DK, Diddy, Kirby, Yoshi, Banjo, etc: all characters from platformers that play differently because their unique platforming movements, not created for a fighting game, were all translated into a fighter.

Since Ryu, Ken, and Terry originate in fighting games, and since we already got 2 of those guys in the game, i think its safe to assume that a fighting game character's transition in to Smash is easy. Do you think Terry's moveset to be substantially different than what he's had in every fighting game?
You say this like all 2D fighting games have the same mechanics.

If we look at the pass so far, we got an RPG guy (Joker), a super classic jrpg guy (hero), a platformer (guh huh), and a fighter (RUOK?).

Do you think Fighter 5 will be from a diff genre of game? A shooter? A puzzle game? A lawyer simulation?

No. What I'm saying is that its an easier transition to take someone from a 2D fighter and put them in to a diff 2D fighter, than to take someone like Duck Hunt and add them in to a 2d fighter

Inb4 The Lighthouse is actually a hint to the next character and none of us noticed.

(Why yes we are going insane)
I hope it's the mermaid. Finally get our female fighter. Although, she is more sexualised than Bayonetta...

(also Lighthouse? Good Movie)

i dont think it really matters what it is, and there's no way you can accurately predict it without blind luck

Wild cards would be

2B
Agumon
Amaterasu (I can keep hoping)
Chosen Undead
Dovahkiin
KOS-MOS
Yoshimitsu
Yuri Lowell/Velvet Crowe

Just to name a few. Anyone other potential wild cards?
Anything from Valve, if any possible Half Life Tactics talks resulted in something.
Likewise, anything left from SEGA's stable. Arle, Kiryu, depending on how she's viewed even down to Hatsune.
I'd also consider any indies as wild cards because there are no playable characters from that sphere just yet. Even Reimu.

I mean tbf Shulk fights nothing like he does in Smash.

At the same time Marth uses stuff that isn't from his own games, Dolphin Slash is based off of Thracia 776's Myrmidon crit animation and Dancing Blade is based off of Astra. Also isn't the Omega Yato proof of the contrary of your claim?
Yeah, my argument is pretty weak. It's coming from a more emotional place, tbh. I really don't want another FE character to have the same tilts and smash attacks we've seen multiple times. Edelgard could be really unique, but I get this feeling in my gut that she'll be another character with Ike's smash attacks and tilts/aerials borrowed and slightly modified from other FE characters. Even Robin and Corrin borrow a lot. I do believe that Edelgard's specials would be different, though. I hope that she gets in and that I'm wrong. And I probably would be, but the possibility is there, and that's what scares me.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll give you the weapon thing. I also forgot that Robin can't use any of his stuff in smash if he doesn't level up his weapon ranks and also can't use nosferatu at all. Chrom (as people have said) does start with his falchion as we see it in Smash, though.

My main point is that we've never seen a Smash character use abilities restricted to their promoted classes. Ike doesn't use axes. Chrom and Lucina don't use lances (they're echoes, so I know they don't 100% count). Corrin doesn't use magic. I don't think we should expect Edelgard to do heavy armor stuff or to have a shield. Moveset-wise, those seem like the most interesting things she would bring, but maybe Aymr could make up for that.

Edit: Unless the reason for the class promotion limitations is that players in FE have the option to not promote, in which case we could see post-timeskip Edelgard abilities, but we don't really know. I'm just skeptical.
For what it's worth, I agree she wouldn't get the shield. I do think she'd have her Armored Lord look as a costume set though, just without the shield. Like in her official art and in cutscenes.

I actually think Edelgard, should she get in, would be likely to get in as her post-timeskip design, complete with shield. It's a lot more interesting of a design, and making her an ultra-heavyweight with a shield would go a long way towards differentiating her from the rest of the FE characters.

In no particular order, my top ten:
-Marina Liteyears
-2B
-Phoenix Wright
-Heihachi Mishima
-Style Savvy
-Sol Badguy
-Elma
-Travis Touchdown
-Arle Nadja
-Scrooge McDuck

You said no rules so the last one gets it. But if people insist on game characters only, replace Scrooge with Velvet Crowe.

You know I just really want Rayman and I wouldn't complain anymore. Being a Rayman supporter is painful. So many clues that lead to nothing, three trophies in 4 demoted to a single Spirit, with even the Rabbids getting more representation in that department. And the worst part is that there is still a single thread of hope to me, yet most people don't even acknowledge the boy. Hell I've seen more mention of Ezio than Rayman in this thread which kind of depresses me. I hate how poorly treated my favorite childhood mascot is.
