Something else to mention is that, in the U.S., the judge has shortened the time the TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) would be in place.Microsoft and UK regulators agree to pause their Activision battle to negotiate
Microsoft wants to close its Activision Blizzard acquisition.www.theverge.com
With Microsoft and the UK regulators potentially working things out outside of court, it looks like the buyout will be going through by the end of the year.
It’s also worth mentioning that Microsoft has explored going through with the buyout without the UK’s approval. It would be the nuclear option, but it’s not off the table. It’s likely why both sides are meeting now.
Well, if certain things I heard are true, the UK government didn't like how the CMA blocked the deal. Maybe they're only now realizing how badly they screwed up...
A DISCORDANT WAVELENGTH! EXPELLED!
Nintendo wouldn't need D.Va to fulfil that niche when they already got their own girl in a mech. A Warrior Princess with a Centaur Mech to be more precise.
Yunobo and Midna might be pushing it, but otherwise it's pretty great. How you envision Impa and Sheik sharing a spot? Think it's best to have them separate even if I'd choose Impa over Sheik in a heartbeat.
A Guardian would probably be my first pick for a Zelda mook. If not for the fact that I want to see and hear all the PTSD from viewers when they hear the first few notes of the Guardian theme in a Guardian reveal trailer.
It still feels like a battle trying to get her massive popularity within the FE fandom to fully spill over into Smash circles. Of course a lot of it has to do with the way FE has been handled in Smash so far, and the fanbase's (IMO not always justified) reactions to it. I do think things have perked up a bit for her lately, though; not having to deal with the AT status at least for now is helpful, too.

I disagree with cutting Sheik but I’d love to see Impa’s Hyrule Warriors incarnation make it into Smash. She was my favorite character in that game but I’ve never had a strong opinion on the character outside of that version.
With this, almost half of my top 10 most wanted characters are owned by Microsoft (Battletoads, Fulgore, Illidan Stormrage, and Sarah Kerrigan). None of them are really heavily requested or discussed, even among Microsoft characters, so I’ll be ecstatic if I even get one of these.wait now Crash is officially a microsoft rep????
Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
Microsoft can now go ahead and close its giant deal.
i hope you don't mind me saying this character to me seems like what would happen if seregi from XC3 had been for FE instead.Probably wouldn't need them for Lyn when I've still seen alot of support for Lyn coming from Fire Emblem fans still.

It reminded me a bit more of Herald from Xenoblade 2, which was one of the cooler blades in my opinion.
Considering I have no idea who that is I highly doubt that'd be the girl in a mech they would choose lol. Tron Bonne or Mechanica maybe.Probably wouldn't need them for Lyn when I've still seen alot of support for Lyn coming from Fire Emblem fans still.

That aside, while D.Va would be fitting for a crossover fighter about video games, if Overwatch were to get a character, I can't see it being anybody but Tracer. Sure, Spring Man shares a poster boy role with Tracer's poster girl role and he didn't get in, but one, Min-Min was more the producer's choice and I wouldn't be surprised if they would've added Spring-Man regardless of him being an Assist Trophy. And two, compared to Spring-Man who really only has the game's Arcade mode and 1 comic, Tracer gets alot more attention throughout Overwatch's story and background, being one of the more prominent characters used in the Cinematics/Short Movies, Comics and even a dedicated set of books.
While Overwatch tries to do a "No specific main character" mentality with it's message, "The World could always use more Heroes." and for the most part, they do a decent job, Tracer definitely gets more attention in media compared to the other Heroes and it would be no surprise if she was the first one chosen regardless of her poster girl stamp, unsurprisingly for the character who began the game's catchphrase.
But nowadays, it's hard to imagine Overwatch getting in, especially with it's recent reception nowadays. Poor Overwatch fans. And some for the dev team too considering Bobby Kotick was really pushing on them hard to do stuff that they would scrap later, thus wasting development time and preventing them from doing the more important stuff.
Reports are now coming in that MS and the CMA have reached a Divestiture so things are moving.
How are things going with Spyro’s franchise currently?
More so the latter case than the former. It's mostly because of what fans expect from Fire Emblem to happen than her popularity needing to spill over more into Smash circles. Like currently right now, alot of people are expecting Alear just out of precedence because of both Engage being the latest game and because of Robin, Corrin and Byleth. It's often why whenever Lyn is brought up, most tend to agree that her chances are low over the latest games' characters unless they were to bring out a Blazing Blade Remake, which would give her that big push and last big chance at getting in.
Reginn from Fire Emblem Heroes, which is Nintendo's most popular mobile game aside from Pokemon GO. And probably the Nintendo Mobile game with the biggest chance of getting a character. Reginn is one of the more unique characters in FEH thanks to her Mech, which has access to bullets, rockets, a sword and shield and multiple legs for mobility and attacking(the front legs are capable of attacking like a horse).
Sure Blizzard has said they'd be fine with any character. The question would be who would Sakurai pick?
So were Fjorm, Eir, Peony, Ash, Veronica and Seidr.
Yes, a big part of it is the expectation that any FE newcomer would simply be the latest protag. But Lyn also doesn't get the support over other older FE characters relative to what I think she deserves based on her status within the FE fandom/franchise. I think much of it has to do with people viewing the next game's roster as something that will simply be built on top of whatever Ultimate did instead of potentially doing its own thing; this thinking, while understandable, leads to a lot of steam for perceived Echo candidates from FE or stuff that is perceived to be as distanced as possible from the potential "swordfighter" label. If we were simply building an FE roster from the ground up with none of Smash's precedents in mind, then Lyn would be even more of a slam-dunk pick.
Which says a lot less than it might appear since the app icon changes yearly to match with the lead of the current book.
I'm not though? Overbuff.com no longer shows Overwatch 1 statistics, but for at least a substantial amount of time, D.va was the #1 most picked hero among all players (interestingly enough that title currently goes to Ana who has been a strong pick at all levels of play for all of OW2's lifespan) but D.va still remains in the Top 10 to Top 15 range all the time, with the only other tank above her currently being Reinhardt. She's also basically tied with Mercy as the most popular female character in the game (you're just gonna have to trust me on that one as I'd rather not try and explain HOW I know that).
Look, I know the chances are next to none, but if by some miracle we get a Skylanders revival as well as Crash and Spyro thriving, I'd say it was all worth it.

It does, but I think Reginn would really be a good WTF surprise to those who don't know Fire Emblem. People just watching the latest Smash Bros. trailer, they see the art style, they groin about another Fire Emblem character, than all of the sudden, this girl riding a centaur Mech just comes in guns a-blazing with bullet shells, rockets and a giant sword to their absolute confusion and going, "Wait, IS this Fire Emblem?!"
FWIW, it feels like IS wants to do that, too: Awakening's original plot taking place in the modern day, TMS being set in Tokyo, Book 5 of FEH, Three Houses having ACTUAL NUKES at one point... you can't convince me they're not at least a LITTLE interested in the idea.
No Ryunosuke Naruhodo 0/10
Nope, both Fulgore (Killer Instinct) and Zero (Mega Man X) are in my top 10 most wanted characters so I actually have 2.
I mean, based on your wording, that would only exclude...third party characters that either debuted this year, debuted last year, or don't exist yet.
Yeah, I doubt the newest character for SSB6 (if it become a thing in the future) exist yet.
Companies with fighters already or companies with any content?
