No arguments there, I adore this game. But for this discussion it's more about their own series as well. Like you could argue Luigi's Mansion and Princess Peach Showtime could have their own emblem and such. Harder to justify with Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
His face is the emblem. It’s on the boxart, and it’s been his emblem starting in the N64 era.
Someone in a Discord server I'm in mentioned that apparently Nintendo has a patent on day/night spawn rates? Have no idea how true that is, but it's a small gameplay related thing that came up about it lol
But like, you couldn't use Bowser's face as the emblem of the Mario & Luigi series which is what I mean. Bowser's Inside Story isn't a spinoff of Mario & Luigi. It's the third entry of a series with Mario and Luigi as the main characters. Even in Bowser's Inside Story where Bowser is one of the leads, he's a lead alongside Mario & Luigi
So are they gonna sue Rockstar over GTA having different types of pedestrians spawn more during daylight and nighttime?
I mean if you wanna get REALLY technical, there is TECHNICALLY a Monado in every game, if we're talking the Smash icon for the series lolCounterpoint: Xenoblade emblem
Look at me, now I’m arguing semantics.
But we both know they don’t look like Shulk’s.
Guys, I don't think Palworld is coming to Smash...
Somehow I knew this was going to be brought up lol.

I dunno about PC-98 or early Windows (PC-98 is basically a different continuity at this point, and the early Windows games ran on a completely different engine than the one Mountain of Faith used and standardized for future games), but I believe Touhou 9 and onward (minus 17.5 and the fighting games, with the exception of Antinomy of Common Flowers) are all on Steam, and I know Antinomy of Common Flowers and 17.5/Sunken Fossil World are on Switch at least.
I've love to see something done with the Rival Schools series.
I think it'd be neat if they did what they did with Terry and added some Rival schools tracks to the Street fighter music list, since they exist in the same universe.
That’s okay, they’re already saving it for when Rauru is a newcomer
(half-joking, btw)
They don't have much of a choice when you're only allowed 1 character per series.
That's fair.
We're not. It's a thought exercise. For fun.
1. Arthur [Ghosts 'n Goblins]
On my list, I only included characters with their own "series". So nobody from a one-shot game or spinoff.
I just watched the video.
You could consider rotating cast series like Fire Emblem, Pokémon, and Xenoblade as different franchises.
I'm a bit late, but this is absolutely not true lol
I was exaggerating when I said that, I admit. I just haven't been impressed by the 9th gen all that much, my PS5 is pretty much just a Gran Turismo machine although I plan to get Astro Bot eventually.
Elma is one of my most wanted and I’d love a stage from X whether she’s playable or not other than that and no 3 representation yet I feel like one assist trophy from 2 and Metal Face also being a boss would be about all it needsSo, how do guys feel about the Xenoblade representation in Smash?
We have two (three) characters in Shulk, Pyra and Mythra.
We have two stages with Gaur Plains and Cloud Sea of Alrest.
We have lots of music tracks from 1 and 2.
We have no items but Riki is an assist trophy.
There are lots of spirits from 1 and 2 with a few other spirits from X. And of course, there's the promotional XC3 spirit.
Overall, I think Xenoblade is doing really well. The two (three) characters are some of the franchise's most popular and important. The stages are great. I especially like Cloud Sea of Alrest. The music selection is great even if there are very few remixes. Riki is a fun assist trophy and the spirits all make sense.
Everything in the game seems to be great (except Shulk's face). I don't think it's fair to count the absence of XC3 stuff because that game came out much later. I do wish there was more XCX stuff though. Elma would be rad, but even a XCX stage or some music tracks would go a long way. Honestly I'd just love more XCX spirits. There's only five and they feel more like obligations.
What do you guys think?
They probably wouldn't do it, but another neat detail they could use for Big Boss is that instead of using Solid Snake's intro, which is a reference to the Tanker opening cutscene from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, they could have him enter by taking off a parachute and landing, much like one of the beginning cutscenes from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Virtuous Mission).
you are one of the most passionate, honest users on this forum. do not take that for granted.
however i respectfully decline your roster
Nice that you guys are respectfull!
He's saying Pyra is confirmed to stay in the next Smash
Xenoblade 2 is probably the one Switch game I can see most people being okay with getting another shot on Switch 2… other than the XCX supporters, I am so sorry.
Pyra & Mythra feel likely to return anyway. XC2 is still the best selling game in the Xenoblade series, and they are still some of the most popular characters in the series. I think these two are underestimated by the community when it comes to their chances to return.
I imagine a true reboot would likely leave some legacy series behind. Mother probably being the biggest example of being at risk under a true reboot.
I've seen someone suggest "Reveal Almost Here" and "Presentation In Hours", but that's just their guess.
Yeah presentation in hours seems to be the consensus. Regardless of what they are saying, the fact pyoro is saying anything at all means something has to happen soon.
I though it meant “Peter Is Hairy” and “Really Awesome Horse”
