So what I’m hearing is infinity war is set at six flags?
that’s not what I said at all though. I said twice the port only means much to the general gaming audience, has no bearing on Sakurai and his decisions. It just made the character known today. My point was crash would be chosen the same reason mega man was but with less demand(most likely). He’s an important video game character due to him being able to topple the charts when he came out and beat out other mascots. That’s impressive history that I think Sakurai is well aware of and would choose him so iconic third party battles/characters can continue to get in.Without the port, there's no reason to think there'd be any interest from Nintendo in including Crash. This isn't a Cloud situation. There was no major demand for Crash Bandicoot in Smash during Smash 4's speculation. The only time he's ever really been in demand is now.
In order for what you're saying to have any bearing on the Smash roster, you'd have to assume that Sakurai not only knew of a Playstation-exclusive game long before it was even announced (developed by a Western studio, on top of that), knew that it was going to get ported to the Switch all that time in advance, knew that it would be successful (which was questionable in the first place, given that Crash has been putting out stinker after stinker ever since Naughty Dog quit producing the series), AND knew that there'd be a sudden surge in fan demand for Crash to be in Smash Bros.
In what universe is this a realistic scenario at all?
