the big question is, what is a low-key fighter ? Example: Is it Lloyd a low-key pick? His games didn’t sell well comparing to Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Nowdays, Tales of mainline games struggles to sell at least 1 million copies worldwide while Dragon Quest sells more than 5 million easily. The series isn’ extreme popular in the west, I think Persona 5 has sold more than previous Tales of games.
You're telling me that Steve, a character from one of the most massive games to date, and Sephiroth, one of the most iconic villains in all of gaming, isn't enough to sell well?
Then again, they went ahead with a FP1 that only had one character that could be considered (semi-) huge - Hero. None of the other series featured in FP1 has yet crossed 5 million copies with a single game (by traditional metrics at least): Persona 5 actually is the closest (5 + Royal apparently combine for 4.6 million), with the original Banjo-Kazooie at 3.5 and Three Houses at close to 3 million as of March 2020.
How is Steve Sakurai's choice, but not Sephiroth? Sakurai is quite a fan of Final Fantasy, including Advent Children.
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: This 4chan post is either an extremely lucky guess or a legitimate leak!

This would be a hype Fighters Pass ngl. Still hoping for 2B in FP3 😏 pic.twitter.com/JEda9qANvs
Interestingly enough, he is also Bowser's mom.
The definition probably going to be pretty nebulous, and/or change depending on who you'd ask. I guess we could start by listing the characters we'd generally accept to go under this definition, though I'm sure me naming them will get some disapproval. Regardless, my guess would be Joker, Banjo & Kazooie, Byleth, and Min Min for these reasons:
No, Bowser Jr. would be Mario and Luigi's nephew.
Someone managed to guess Hero, Banjo, and Terry in the exact same order and another person to get all of the Hero alts right. It's likely another monkey on a type writer thing.
Idk dude, while it's not like them, not everyone can just sell their 10+years old game on steam and have it sold 500k in a single months
The reason is that Nintendo prevents Sakurai from talking too much freely about the Microsoft series. Please don't take all of this seriously. That said, Sakurai also valued Minecraft.*
Huh, all of those characters are my secondaries. Good taste, patternGOD.
I’d love it but the Pass being half Western made and the other half Japanese seems a little wonky considering past precedent. I’d be hyped as **** for those choices though. There’s not really one in there I’m not a fan of.
There's also
Are they half western in appeal though? I could see them branching out more in where the characters are from so long as who these characters appeal to is still diverse.
In terms of potential Namco reps you're missing KOS-MOS and Klonoa.
Fake. I feel after the VGA which would have been perfect timing given the date and anniversary, at this point, I wouldn't expect Doom Slayer.
Those are fighting game characters?
I guess Seph's inclusion made people have doubts on a few characters instead of a lot. The main character I see people doubt now for Vol 2 is Dante since they're both white haired swordies with trench coats, so that just only crosses 1 potential name off a list of many.
Technically, Ryu Hayabusa IS a main character in a fighting game. Dead or Alive.
That's so stupid. Dante and Sephiroth are owned by 2 different companies so Dante's chances shouldn't reflect on Sephiroth's inclusion because they look similar.
Let me give it a try.
Makes sense. Not for the characters, but the companies. A Capcom, a Namco and a Nintendo rep, most likely a gen 8 Pokémon. If you guys think Nintendo will not push a gen 8 Pokémon in FP2, you're all in denial.
The funny thing is that Sakurai had said that Steve was, maybe not the result of, but heavily pushed by his higher ups. I'm not really sure he would count in that category.
Watch in a twist of fate we end up with Palicos.
If you think Nintendo would put something like ARMS or a second unique fighter for a third party series in FP2, you're in denial.
I would dip my hands in sanitizer after using them even before COVID.
Sephiroth with the FFVII remake.
So the Mario Bros. are actually the Miyamoto Bros.? How does that work? Weren't the
Fixed that for you.
I made a Frisk moveset that I think handles it well. Basically, their neutral b makes them enter a mode where they need to dodge attacks (either by shielding or moving out of the way). If they dodge enough attacks (I had 3 sets of 5), their neutral B becomes SPARE, which is an instant KO. All the normals are Genocide, which is basically just regular smash.
