I firmly believe we will never see any character from PSABR in Smash. Does that clarify it? You won't convince me. Sony not treating it as such doesn't change the potential it had. Don't get me wrong. I hate that game as it could've been much much better, but saying it didn't have AAA potential is silly.
Just because Sakurai is an alleged liar doesn't mean he wasn't telling the truth when talking about why Kazuya got in.
Not a great attitude to have in speculation.
I’m not sure that game was really big enough to influence Sakurai’s decision whether to add a character to Smash or not. That said, I don’t know if any of the characters in that game would have been particularly likely for Smash anyways given Sony’s stance on collaborating with other consoles.
Not a hard bar to claim when most of them won't be in Smash anyway for reasons other than "they showed up in another platform fighter".
Not the worst either. I've had that belief SINCE PSABR released and nothing has proven me wrong thus far. As I stated originally, it is my personal theory and I stand by it. Even seeing Master Chief get into Fortnite automatically told me that Smash wasn't happening. Low and behold that gut feeling was correct.
Helps that most are owned by Playstation and we're basically agreeing Playstation's not gonna play ball due to being Playstation.
Assuming this is the Lumirank tier list, here's a Link:

Sakurai literally said picking Kazuya has EVERYTHING to do with Kaz's Devil Gene powers and nothing to do with a ten-year-old game that was never all that popular. Just because you don't like that statement doesn't mean it isn't true.
I think you misunderstood what they were saying. I think they were using Fortnite as something that makes Sony characters more feasible for Smash, not the other way around. It’s also my excuse to tie Jinx to Nintendo since that’s her only appearance on the console to my knowledge. It just shows that they’re open to collaboration.
I...fail to see how Chief getting into Fortnite correlates to whether or not any character would get into Smash, let alone Master Chief specifically.
By that logic, is Street Fighter going to be repped by Ken without Ryu in Smash 6?
I don't mean to make it look like dogpiling, but this character from PSAS was outright acknowledged by Sakurai to be notably requested.
Brawlout has a rage meter that can either break combos (think of Killer Instinct's combo breaker) and a rage mode which increases power for a short time. One of the characters also has chargeable air moves
Edited my post so more people can see.
No, you clearly misunderstood.
Do you guys think a Sony rep is possible? My most wanted is Ratchet & Clank, but i don't even know if he's actually possible since he's technically owned by a competitor....but we have Microsoft in Smash....but also Microsoft is more lenient and well Banjo and Steve apareared in Nintendo platforms, so idk what to believe lmao.I'm a little late on the SONY rep subject, but I think it'd be pretty cool to see these two in Smash.
I was referring to Wario Bros.’ post about not ruling out Sony for Smash thanks to Fortnite and LEGO Horizons. I must have missed the post you were referring to. My apologies.
We started the day with a Sony gatekeeper and now we're continuing it with more gatekeeping.
I think it's a mix of both Nintendo and Sony, with more on Nintendo's side.
We've never had an explicit statement of it but I don't think it's a coincidence that Nintendo completely abandoned EVO the second it became Sony-owned.
Back in the day (2010-2012) some people actually throgh guest apareances in other fightin games, not just platform fighters decomfrimed characters in Smash.
Herman Hulst of Guerrilla said, “That’d be nice. If you speak to Nintendo and they want to invite us let me know.”
Wasn't it after the incident at EVO that also involved a bunch of Smash Bros players? Like that incident was ultimately the reason why EVO lost so much support and money and it was enough for Sony to buy them, but I could've swore that one particular EVO was also the last time Nintendo had Smash Bros appear there even before Sony bought EVO.
We really haven't changed much then, have we?
I’m pretty sure you’re referring to Aloy from Horizon. If so, that’s the first I’ve heard of it.
Wouldn't it be the other way around then with Nintendo not wanting to play ball?
I can def see that. It all works out toward the theory regardless. Whether coincidence or irony, the theory is still holding strong. Maybe this next Smash will debunk my custom crafted ideals.
Simple. It doesn't. It's my own personal speculation that I'll gladly let go of once it has been proven wrong.
According to the website, Simon despite being not being in E tier, was actually voted as the worst character by Japanese players. Like the case since Brawl, Pikachu was ranked lower by Japanese players but it’s the opposite in the Latin America.
Dark Cloud mentioned.
That isn't the Dante we got in PSABR. OG Capcom Dante is of course still on the table.... That abomination in PSABR is not Dante.. It's like OG Freddy Krueger vs Remake Freddy. Them sharing the same name means nothing. Most people looked at that "remake Dante" and immediately threw it in the garbage mentally. I was one of those people.I don't mean to make it look like dogpiling, but this character from PSAS was outright acknowledged by Sakurai to be notably requested.
And Capcom is a very open participant in regards to Smash Bros.
And no, you can't use the argument that DmC Dante is a different character from DMC series Dante when DmC Dante is an Alternate costume for DMC series Dante in Marvel Infinite.
Well I can't argue about Snake vs. Monkey still being exclusive to PS2 versions of MGS3 anymore, because:

This is eerily similar to "we can still get Ridley in Smash 4, the stage hazard is technically a clone," style argument.
