The Alola stage should be the UB fight scene from the trailers.

That be pretty sweet.

Elma would be great, but relevant wouldn't be a word I'd use to describe her since XCX came and went like nothing.

I have no idea how popular she is with Smash fans though.
Admittedly the rumored X port does put her relevancy into a type of limbo.

Honestly I cant help but see a pokemon as likely partly based on stars. Alola has been in development for a while before and after smash :p

Honestly only thting I can think of is that the roster was finalized absurdly early way before pokemon was ready for some reason

His reverse psychology is completely overpowered by the entire rest of the fandom taking the birb as a given.

I'm seeing an empty hole in the roster grow darker with every "A Gen 7 Pokemon is in the game!" type post.
To be clear, I don't think it's a given, nor do I think any Gen 7 a given. However, in comparison to the rest of the Sun/Moon Pokémon, both Decidueye and Mimikyu are the most popular by date, and that can easily justify their place in a slot. Greninja is one of two exceptions, the other being Pichu, and they had additional reasons for their placement, Greninja's being more legitimate. There's no reason not to at least consider them. With how popular Sun and Moon is, there's no reason to not consider a Gen 7 Pokémon.

I don't play Smash anymore so I could care less who or what gets in other then a new SFM model to play with.

Daily reminder that the port is done by Bandai-Namco which what those past leaks said and nothing with Sora LTD is involved so possibly no Sakurai.

There will be characters but not a lot and nothing TOO complex

Dicidueye would be cool, but I'd rather Silvally.

I don't see a gen 7 pokemon though.

If we're getting more characters exclusively for the Sm4sh port, Nintendo better provide a damn good explanation as to why they can't come to the Wii U and 3DS versions. Besides the Ice Climbers, as we already know why.

The Kroc needs to happen. Too bad Mashpotato Samurai and crew don't even know he exists despite owning such a popular villain amongst fans.

Simon Belmont/ANY other Castlevania rep too, but...

Because they want the Switch version to sell.

The impetus is not technical limitations, it's business reasons.

Same reason King Boo is in Kart 8 now.

Their reason? Because they own Smash and can decide to do whatever they want with it.

Now if Square were to get another rep, while I know a lot of people want classic FF characters, I really want Noctis. I think you can get a very interesting kit with him.

Let's be real for a sec...

Who ISN'T expecting inklings to show up sooner or later at this point?
People so blindsided by Cloud they're using anti-logic to try and figure things out?

Of course. I should have figured they'd go the way of Capcom by screwing over owners of earlier versions. Just like MVC3.

Kroc got a Mii costume. If they didn't know before they definitely know how rabid the (worst part of the) fandom is for him now.

If he managed to rank second or MAAAYBE third place on the Ballot out of feasible first party characters depending on what they're planning then he might make it. Bayonetta winning proved his vocal minority doesn't completely represent the majority, though, so that's no guarantee.

As Champ Gold Champ Gold mentioned earlier, rumors indicate that Sakurai might not be directing this port. If this turns out to be true, then I wouldn't be surprised if the character choices end up being different than how they would be if Sakurai were director.

Its called business. Nintendo wants to intice you to buy the next console and its port, and to do so, they'll add more content within the game to make them worth buying again.

Difference is a Switch Port is coming at near three years after the initial game launched and over a year after the last DLC batch instead of only a few months after initial release.
That's far from pulling a Capcom. Heck that's a longer period of time than most fighting games wait before releasing a GotY edition.

So. Laura K Buzz has actually been blacklisted from a Switch event it seems. I WONDER why?
She's acting pretty petulant about it as if it were to be unexpected after all the **** she's been leaking.

But... I guess it's providing us with info, and indirectly Nintendo seems to be legitimizing her through the blacklisting... so, yay?

Rumor of new characters in Smesh Switch?

Whatever we (possibly) get, it's obviously not a huge addition.
Not to outright disagree, because I've no idea what we'll get... but didn't people have similar sentiments about DLC?

I beg to differ
Pokemon from Odd Gens: :squirtle::ivysaur::4charizard::4pikachu::4jigglypuff::4mewtwo:
Pokemon from Even Gens: :pichumelee::4lucario::4greninja:

The odds are 2:1 !
But again, with Gen 1 there was nothing to jinx, as Smash Bros and thus Smash Bros character predictions didn't exist yet.

Pre-Smash: 6
---------------------------------------------------------
Gen 2: 1
Gen 3: 0
Gen 4: 1
Gen 5: 0
Gen 6: 1
Gen 7: ???

Perhaps I'm not being scientific calling it a pattern just yet, but every time an odd-numbered gen happens during a Smash Bros hype train, it gets completely skipped over despite ever predictor and their mother saying a Pokemon from that generation certainly MUST be added.

And now everyone and their mother is insisting we're getting a Gen 7 Pokemon. SURELY we'll be right this time, guys!

It's cute how you're saying it like it's a good thing, that it's a good thing that Nintendo's restricting those characters like it's something to applaud.

The main point I'm making is about the arbituary restricting of characters for no good reason. At least with the GOTY editions they don't usually have content you can't get on the original version.

Literally Snake is all I need in the new game. That's it. Give me him and I'm good for like ever. Do I think he will happen? Very slightly. Depends on Konami's support of the Switch, how he did in the ballot, and Nintendo's insistency on him being included cause he wouldn't take much development time. Cause we sure can't depend on Sakurai for him this time.

Other than him though:
1. Takamaru
2. Inkling
3. Rayman
4. Wonder Red
5. Simon Belmont

Pipe dream: Banjo and Kazooie

I still want Midna and Dark Samus for Smash....as unlikely as either seems at this point (barring any surprise appearances in BotW)....

(of course I'm referring to Midna specifically...I doubt we'll see the phazon doppelganger in Zelda, though that'd make for one insane crossover)

I guess a new 3rd party character including Indie characters isn't a huge addition then.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see the word "obviously" there lolz. Now that I think about it, are inklings considered a big deal?

At this point I can't really tell whether or not you think the Odd Generation thing is an actual indicator of chance or not...

Because then it gives more reason to get the new console.

As far as third parties my top two would be Crash Bandicoot and Tifa...though ot would be cool if Banjo Kazooie made it in or if Snake returned...

I'm doing it at least partially in jest.

The other part of me remembers how much the fandom set themselves up for failure begging for Gen 5 Mythicals and thinks even if there's no actual scientific reason why an odd-genned Pokemon wouldn't get in that the universe itself might taunt them for their sheer arrogance.

Which is also to a degree in jest, but is also a "counting our chickens before they hatched has turned out pretty badly before, especially in this exact situation, so maybe we shouldn't count them before they hatch yet again" thing.

I don't even discount the possibility of something from Gen 7 getting in, just the air of inevitability to it.

That's gonna jinx up the whole joint if it keeps going, I can already see it.

Replaying Namco x Capcom for the first time in a very long while...I forgot just how ridiculous Guy/Sho are in this. SMOOKU BOMB!

On the subject of Smash Switch newcomers...I'm mostly happy with Smash 4's roster, so aside from some returning cuts (notably ICs and Wolf) there isn't anyone in particular I'd want. At least, not that have any real shot.

Terry Bogard and Adol Christin 4 Smash!
