This is a fun idea in theory, like it would make for a cool trailer, but I think it would have the inverse effect.
18 new Fighters and 12 new Echoes!
I think having "people dislike the character who did it" is even more of a driving force to kick that villain's shins in. I actually love NabbitFan's idea, but I can absolutely see the community making it unbearable. Like, people going "Ha ha, you THOUGHT your character was coming back, but not anymore!! Everyone laugh at these guys!!" on social media.
the reference is it's based on Dark Meta Knight from kirby and the amazing mirror. although it more closely resembles the design from star allies
Well yeah, that would be the point. The cost will still sting but it would used in constructive, interactive manner. It's in a similar manner how Villains are built in places like Professional Wresting. Seeing one character coming out of nowhere and destroying some of your favorites in ferocious manner for good this time would make a unique way to drum up excitement for the game via launch season.
Social Media and Smash Fans reminding us why we can't have good things. Although ironically enough, i say the nature of social media could help bolden this idea.
What about "Super Smash Bros. Millennium"?
That is a really cool trailer. The moveset looks like it would be a lot of fun too. Too bad Ultimate moveset mods aren’t quite at that level yet because I’d love to try something like this.
Would be funny at first. I mean sooner or later, they have to rip the band-aid someday so why do with a bang.
Especially if those characters are third party. I have a hard time seeing a third party developer signing off just to let Smash kill their character in a cutscene. Seems like that would be a hard sell and it would probably upset a lot of fans. People were already upset enough about Sakurai’s comments when revealing Waluigi was returning as an assist trophy or Chrom’s “I’ll get a chance another day”. I feel like the reaction to this would probably be worse.
That's for the sequel with 1000 characters!
The way the Kirby knights should be organized is:
Smash Slobberknocker
Bah Gawd King! Mario’s whippin’ Link like a government mule!
For what it's worth I agree, since they wouldn't be playable so what would be the point, but I can't help but think about the third parties that got wiped by Galeem, throttled by Sephiroth, Mega Man got impaled by Ridley and of course we got this fantastic piece of art with Kazuya.
There is a creation thread with that name, now with it's expansion Infinite Beyond.

You make a good point. However, I’d argue that all those defeats you mentioned were “temporary”.For what it's worth I agree, since they wouldn't be playable so what would be the point, but I can't help but think about the third parties that got wiped by Galeem, throttled by Sephiroth, Mega Man got impaled by Ridley and of course we got this fantastic piece of art with Kazuya.
Which, if anything, I would just say is a testament to which third parties are the most cooperative. Capcom letting Ryu straight up lose to Kazuya here, essentially one of Street Fighter's market "rivals", is a particular kind of generosity you wouldn't expect from most. Sega and Konami are notable mentions for being featured in both the World of Light and Sephiroth trailers too.
The way Smash handles echoes and alts currently feels so random. Dr. Mario gets his own slot and he’s literally just Mario in a different costume but Alph has to share a slot with Olimar. I’m okay with either approach, I just wish there was a bit more consistency. Same with the distinction of which characters are labeled as echoes versus clones/semiclones.
Yeah, I think I just wanted to bring attention back to which characters and companies get the most spotlights in cutscenes / trailers / promo and how that's a testament to the level of trust they have in Sakurai and Co. Like, Mega Man just frequently appearing alongside Nintendo characters like it's nothing solidified the idea that he's an essential component of the series for me. And Banjo appearing in Sephiroth's trailer next to Sonic and Inkling made me feel a bit warm and fuzzy inside... I'm not even a diehard Banjo fan or anything, it's just cool to see characters welcomed into the fold like that.Not disagreeing with you, just adding to your point
I don’t think anything in that trailer suggests he was the one who actually beat them. he could have just been cleaning up after the sephiroth trailer
They didn't mind when Ridley killed Mega Man, nor when Galeem wiped the stale clean or when Sephiroth did the same thing. Even then majority of cuts seen would mostly from Nintendo catalogue anyways due from larger ratio
Smash Fans are going to be toxic and nasty no matter what. That's the unfortunately inevitable. Everyone was Here and even then some for Ultimate and there you can argue the toxicity was at its worst due to sheer scale.
Those characters weren’t permanently dead though. It’s like a game over in a video game, you know they’re gonna get right back up again.
They aren't dead here either, just cut
All the reason to want to beat this guy in Smash. Also the injury is as deep as you make it.
