I second this. Smash Run is the best single player mode this series has ever received. Better than World of Light, better than Subspace, it's infinitely repayable and has enough variation to never get old. It makes great use of Smash's crossover aspect with all of its enemies, and the gameplay loop is incredibly enticing. I love collecting those little power ups and increasing my stats over the course of a run, feeling my character actually improving in real time.
A lot of speculation doesn't especially end on a positive note, because there is always room for disagreement. That's kinda just something you need to be prepared for. In this case it's telling people something they won't want to hear. I can understand not finding it that interesting to discuss, but it is one of the most pressing questions in the air about Smash's future and it's inevitable that people will want to talk about it and prepare themselves for the possibility.
The obvious answers are Octarians, Enemy Octolings, etc. Splatoon offers a lot of good potential that naturally wasn't present in Smash 4. Also, Minecraft mobs - that one is kind of another no brainer. And various Slimes, if Dragon Quest sticks around.
Those Helix clones from ARMS, maybe?
Hedlok could potentially show up as a boss enemy from ARMS
If Terry comes back, Mars People from Metal Slug
now THIS is a discussion I can get behind!
That’s a good point. Geno is most certainly a DLC character next game though (and that depends on if Square Enix plays ball next game).
I’d be fine with some sort of hybrid adventure mode between Subspace and World of Light. A majority of traditional fights, but also some platformer levels that could have challenges within them. It could be a neat chance to bring back stuff like Break The Targets or Board The Platforms in a different way, or even something new we haven’t seen before.
Any of the Paradox Pokemon
Medic Robot (Team Fortress) - Heals the strongest enemy in the vicinity with its medigun, creating a beam of healing energy that links between itself and the enemy. Prioritize taking this thing out first, rather than the enemy it's healing; you'll save yourself a lot of trouble that way.
I missed this post earlier, I was thinking about the same just the other day. Because I liked how Inkling was kinda like... the "main character" of Ultimate for a bit. And then Villager got to be the headliner for Smash 4, but yeah I really don't know if we've seen any new series or characters come out at nearly an equivalent level.

's sentiment about Waluigi being an earlier reveal, but he's probably more of a Ridley-esque layup reveal rather than being in the main trailer. And third parties will generally be in a similar position, so that's a no for them too. Although maybe we could see something like Brawl's reveal again where we get a fun little flurry of Nintendo characters thrown at us all at once? I just feel like a lot of the more likely choices for us to see are supporting characters not quiiiiite at the status of someone like Meta Knight or Wario.
So essentially the "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE~" type likeI agree with
. Though Ultimate was more spaced out between teaser and full reveal in comparison.....
Oh yeah, that's a good point. I guess Ultimate's situation was a big unique in that respect, but yeah I do think Waluigi is a good candidate for that "encore" style of reveal being both a really well known character (like Daisy, also revealed that day) and also one of the most highly requested (like Ridley). Unless they have a big third party character to reveal there instead, he's in an ideal position for that.So essentially the "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE~" type like
Heartless, like Shadows and Large bodies and Mokujin from Tekken, who uses moves from other characters like he does in the Tekken games.
Like I said not too long ago:
Seriously, bring back Mooks.
got a pic?
Mokujin are they the sort of tree things, i think pac man was driving one in tekken x street fighter

These fellas
I think they were in rhythm paradise
I feel like it's a distant third if Nintendo were to ever humor the idea of Valve content in Smash, somewhere behind Portal and Half Life, but TF2 is a really special game for me and alongside Smash had to be one of the greatest unifying multiplayer experiences for me and my friends. So seeing those worlds collide would fill me with unspeakable joy, it remains one of my pipe dream-iest of pipe dreams. I think out of any of the mercs I'd go for Demoman, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense over someone like Scout or Heavy. He was always my favorite and I think his sheer range of weapons and explosives would make him one of the most compelling.
I think Octolings or another Splatoon character is probably the most obvious choice. Others I’m expecting are Noah and Mio, Officer Howard, and some kind of Pokemon.
Bandana Waddle Dee and a Pokemon are relatively safe bets. Funky Kong and Oatchi too, maybe. They'd be well-received but not groundbreaking additions or anything.
Donkey Kong: Klaptraps, acting as they do as Assist Trophies. Klobbers appear in three different colors, disguising themselves as barrels. Green ones simply run into fighters to push them into pits, yellow ones make the player drop stat boosts, and gray ones will temporarily reduce a random stat to zero.
I feel like I'm just repeating myself at this point, but Tom Nook and an additional original Splatoon character not limited to Octoling. Could either be a new weapon loadout for Octoling to create a largely original moveset, or Octoling could be an echo fighter / semiclone with room for a completely new character on top of that (Idols, DJ Octavio). These two series are the ones I would put some sort of money down on seeing substantial growth next game.
And if he's not in, show that AT right off the bat. Just rip the band-aid off.
Someone already mentioned The Cell from Arms, those are absolutely my most wanted.
Agreed.
I'll concede that cuts will probably happen eventually, and that the roster won't expand forever. But not that the roster can’t expand forever.
I suggest this often.
