I think the case with Pokémon is that since there’s so many games, the cast is really huge and it would be difficult to pinpoint which human characters are “important” enough to appear as trophies/spirits while Mother only has three games so it would be way easier to grab some of the more plot centric characters.
In the case of Giygas, it sure is bizarre, but he also never appeared at all as a trophy or a sticker, contrary to Porky and his statue (who were both considered bosses in Brawl according to Sakurai).
We know for certain that they considered and possibly negotiated for Steve five years prior to his inclusion. Possibly the same case with the Square Enix characters to allow Cloud in. Plus even if it's not Porky, the last character would have been planned two years in advance minimum anyway (mid-late 2019 was when the plan for FP2 was finalized officially). Why three is impossible?
Doubt it.
I hope so, they’re running out of obscure games to release before it!
Wait isn't Earthbound's anniversary already over?
Earthboud Release Date: August 27, 1994
This was the anniversary for Mother 1, but not Earthbound!
Nah, I still don’t buy it
While my old message applies normally, there's quite no good reason to try and act like a 3 year old post has any relevance today.
Okay I'll argue with you about why you still think the Absolutely Safe Capsule represents Porky even though they have edited the Earthbound sprites such as the Masked Man and fixed them. Sometimes the majority isn't right.
Buddy. Why are you looking at stuff from nearly 3 years ago and using it as if it’s fact/proof of deconfirmation? Nobody on this site knows ANYTHING about who the next fighter will be. I can hate and complain all I want about how Character XYZ would be a terrible choice for the last slot, but if Character XYZ is the last one, guess what?
Apologies, but I wasn't trying to make the argument in here at the time. I understand both sides of the issue too. It absolutely could be the empty version.
Yup, I still don’t buy it lol
Sadly the majority believes her and join in on the joke.
The post was made three years ago, so I have no idea where you're getting this from. Someone's opinions from three years ago, on Smash Bros. characters of all things, aren't exactly relevant today, and one person's stance doesn't reflect the opinions of everyone in the thread.
Even if that were the case, rarely is the majority correct. Another reason to keep believing in our Pig King!
Doctor Doom suddenly appearing on my screen when I refreshed the page almost spooked me lol
Would be nice if Porky got a 3D render too.
It'd be awesome for Smash to have a child main antagonist in the game.
Anyone has the translation of the tweet?
Today in 1994, "MOTHER2 Giygas's Counterattack" (EarthBound) is released !! Since "MOTHER" was not sold overseas at that time, there is no numbering in the title. Then, "1" is called "EarthBound Beginnings". Ness is the main character of "MOTHER2". Onett and Fourside are also related to "MOTHER2".
Even if Porky is in the game, I would still want Nintendo to explain why we didn't get any Earthbound game available on the Nintendo Online Service.
And of course Cutie Gwen will keep poking fun at us eb fans for not having our games on the switch
Being upset at someone that obviously does not care about your character/series is understandable.
Easy answer is that Nintendo is well aware of the status the Mother games carry and will hold off on their inclusion in the NSO until it proves beneficial to dip into that bank for easy Direct excitement.

Probably the same reason they rarely showed up on past consoles.
Who?
