I do want the Ninja Turtles and there's a ton of awesome songs to choose from but I thought I'd leave non video game characters out for now. Both Turtles in Time and Shredder's Revenge have amazing soundtracks. Even the original game on the NES has some great music despite the really short loops.
Absolutely. There are a lot of "boring" characters that have perfect resumes that, by all accounts should be included.
I think claiming someone is "boring" is being a bit too dismissive of the people that like that character. It's probably better to say something like it doesn't personally interest you. A lot of characters seem boring on the surface but once they get in Smash, you might end up liking them more than you thought you would. For example, I was never really a big fan of Bowser Jr. as a character but the way he was implemented with the clown car and the Koopalings as alts made me really appreciate him in Smash. Steve is my least favorite character in Smash and I still have fun messing around with him against the AI. He's got a lot of interesting mechanics, though I doubt I could play him very well in a competitive game.
Those are some great songs. I don’t think I’ve heard any of them before besides Pokémon but the Yakuza track gives strong Dynasty Warriors vibes and the Super Robot Wars song reminds me of the opening from Buso Renkin (an anime series). I loved Code Geass and Gurren Lagann so maybe I should check that game out.
The easiest one to get a hold of at the moment is the newest game from 2021, Super robot wars 30.

The thing that worries me about Toad the most is that he's a bit too "blank slate". Take what I said about giving Pauline Cappy or Tiara as a move being forced, and apply that to anything Toad could do, and that's my opinion on him.
Toad's not a spin-off character so probably wouldn't rly work. He's been playable many times since SMB2 and has a major role in the upcoming movie. I don't see how Toad could work as the spin-off character when he has been a main character since the beginning, that title def goes/will go to Waluigi like you implied, who has only appeared in spin-offs since the start. It wouldn't fit Toad to represent the spin-offs, he'd probably be better off doing things Toad himself has done, such as representing Captain Toad or part of his abilities in his playable appearances. I will say though I think Toad probably is getting in eventually, probably next game as he's been promoted more as his own character with the Mario movie and such.
Since I just beat River City Girls Zero, these themes have been stuck in my head recently:
Yeah, but Peach effectively represents the unique SMB2 stuff.
No worries, though I think there is a lot of stuff Toad can do that he is shown to do in the mainline games. You should check this out, I think it's a really cool moveset! https://youtu.be/dZx_d96zs9E (If you want to of course)
I wouldnt be surprised if he's the next Mario newcomer tbh, this makes more sense than just a rando Toad.
Bandana Waddle Dee is not a Waddle Dee.
I think the “big issue” against Isabelle was that people thought that because Animal Crossing, regardless of how iconic and popular it is, isn’t an action game series that any additional characters from that franchise wouldn’t be interesting. It’s also probably why you don’t see don’t see as much support within the community for a character like Tom Nook compared to Bandana Dee, despite both being important characters within their long running iconic franchises.
I think the only thing going against him is that he shares a name with Ryu from Street Fighter. Also I could be wrong about this, but it doesn't seem like the NES Ninja Gaiden game is nearly as fondly remembered as Megaman or Castlevania. I still wouldn't be opposed to his inclusion, but I always thought Simon Belmont was a better fit.
We already have Roy and Roy sharing the same selection screen
Both Ryu Hayabusa and Bomberman would make sense for the next Smash title.
Yeah, I could definitely see those two happening. I’m personally pulling for Lu Bu for Koei-Tecmo and Bill Rizer for Konami but Hyabusa and Bomberman would be cool too. The fact that Bomberman already has both a Mii costume and an Assist Trophy definitely helps his chances for the same reason as Zero.
How would Lu Bu play like in Smash?
It would admittedly be a little tricky to balance him since he’s got incredible reach, power, and combo potential so he’d have to be nerfed a bit, likely to his speed and combo potential. He was deliberately made to be overpowered in Dynasty Warriors which is a series already known for long combo strings. The way Warriors combat works is most characters have a basic combo of 6-8 strikes that you can end at any time by using the special attack. Depending on when you press it during the combo, the character performs a different combo finisher. You could emulate this in Smash by using the basic attack and special buttons but it would likely be too combo heavy and powerful without tweaks. The simplest solution would be to drop the combo chain altogether and just use his various combo finishers as normal specials. I would like to find a good middle ground that stays somewhat true to the Warriors combat style ideally.

And they were right. Her moveset isn't interesting at all. She's just a weird semi-clone of Villager, when she probably should have just been an echo.
I mean, he was. But now that we've got Simon, there's nothing in Hayabusa's way for Smash 6.
I enjoy her fishing pole grab. I’ve never played an Animal Crossing game but I find both Villager and Isabelle fun to play in Smash. Their pocket move is also a lot of fun.
so what? does that make her underserving of being playable?
If you don't think that fishing rod is one of the most fun moves in the game, that's your flaw, not hers.
I dunno. Their movesets have enough differences that I really enjoy playing as Isabelle while Villager is boring to me. Those trap oriented moves really make Isabelle shine.
Same here. He seemingly has everything going for him that it seems so unlikely that Nintendo and Koei Tecmo never try to put him in Smash. He'd be perfect for it.
Having the same name is obviously not an issue since there's not only two Roys in the game already but he could just simply be referred to as Hayabusa, just like in the Dead or Alive series.
I still say that Toad's niche in Smash can (and should) be the power-up guy, given that he operates the Toad Houses in the 2-D platformers.
Isabelle is not very different than how semi-clome characters like Roy or Lucas were handled in the past, tbh. She just sticks out because everyone else we got in Ultimate were either fully unique or echoes.
I’d argue even the characters with the echo label are inconsistent. Ken is a lot more unique than any other echo and probably could have even fallen under the semi-clone category.
