It won't be Malenia. It will be Let Me Solo Her.I do think the series tends to favor the playable characters, but it’s not some unbreakable rule like people make it out to be. Take Elden Ring for example—Sakurai could easily pick Malenia over the main character.
The rule isn't "nothing that didn't come from a video game". It's "nothing that didn't come from a property that was originally a video game".I am curious if they’ll ever break the gaming origin rule by including a character from outside media of a gaming IP. Like if they added Captain N, Ash Ketchum, Lucy MacLean, Longclaw, Mel Medarda, or something similar. I think they technically already broke that rule with R.O.B. since it’s a gaming peripheral and not an in-game character.
Ash Ketchum COULD happen, because Pokemon was originally a video game. Android 21 can't happen, because Dragon Ball was not.
That's why we have Ash Greninja and Advent Children content, but no actual 4P content.
