Either Marshall, Chorus Kids, Karate Joe, the Pink Guy from the 3ds game or even the Monkey duo from the Wii version, I just want Rhythm Heaven representation in Smash.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC line-up is now complete. This time the selection was made entirely by Nintendo. I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan.

Well this puts things in a new perspective, on one hand this means the roster wasn't decided on around when megamix was released, but on the other hand I think Nintendo corporate would be interested in raising the profile of this series.Hey guys, new tweets from Sakurai came in.

So, who are the lucky contestants? We'll just have to wait and see...
Now this, this is beautiful.Did some alts for Bandana Dee and Geno you can see on those threads, but here's one for Karate Joe, another of my most wanted characters!

(from left to right) 2 is player 2 from Fever's multiplayer Karate Man, 3 is Karate Man (Tengoku), 4 is Karate Man 2 (Fever), 5 is Karate Man 2 (DS), 6 is Remix 6 (DS), 7 is Remix 7 (Fever), and 8 is based on Karate Man Senior
The problem is that not enough people have played rhythm heaven, because if they did they would be just as crazy as we are lolKinda sad to see how little posts Rhythm Heaven has here compared to other "popular" smash picks. Smash has had a weird treatment with Rhythm Heaven, having a smash run enemy, making it the only one with no character to match, unused fighter emblem data in smash 4 (swapnote had unused stage data which has now become an assist), gematsu leak probably getting a lot of people into knowing Rhythm Heaven, no assist in either 4 or Ultimate and now having at LEAST 6 Spirits which is a large amount for a non-playable franchise. Character wise who i'd like in, it used to be mainly Karate Joe but with the spirit and megamix happening, I believe Tibby would be a good fit as a general rep all character plus he's currently not a spirit so that helps even if just a little. As for if there will be DLC character for RH, I doubt it, but its always good to have some hope.
I think people would be fine with him once they see him in smash doing stuff, especially if the moves are references.The problem is that not enough people have played rhythm heaven, because if they did they would be just as crazy as we are lol
Also I've heard around that there are people who don't like Tibby? Is it true that people hate this precious boy?

Glad to see another one of us exists!Secretly rooting for tap dancer girl
About that first bit, Marth/Roy/Lucina/Chrom's Dancing Blade and Incineroar's Side-B both basically requires rhythm, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.I feel like Sakurai hasn't put in RH yet because putting rhythm into a fighting game character would be difficult, so here's my idea on how it could work:
Whichever character it is, all of their moves are multihit. If the first attack hits, then a drumbeat of some kind will play (or all of the hits before the last hit make a beat) and pressing A/B on the final hit will make it deal a lot of damage... and missing the timing makes it deal 1% damage and 0 hitstun/knockback.
For example, a move could be a clappy trio upwards clap. If it hits, it combos into a second clap (either the character does the clap themself, or summons someone else to do it or something) and then on the third clap is where it does most of the damage. A move like this could be pretty much the same as Link's up smash, but with the unique gimmick of rhythm for the final hit.
Or, for recovery, it could be similar where most of the distance comes from the final part of the move, and failing the input makes recovery terrible. Something like Pikachu's quick attack, for example. A good move for this could be a Karate man combo, where starting the move freezes you in the air as you do the combo, and releasing the button makes you do an uppercut, sending you farther upward the closer you were to timing the release. If you didn't hold it at all, a light tap of up-b would be a quick uppercut that doesn't go very far, but can be useful for recovering quicker.[/SPOILER]
Could argue the main offender of that is gone with dancing blade being sped up rapidly now, but there is still stuff that requires timed press yeah, wii fit down b is an important one.About that first bit, Marth/Roy/Lucina/Chrom's Dancing Blade and Incineroar's Side-B both basically requires rhythm, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I thought Spirits were still getting datamined?its confirmed there's no Tibby spirit what does this mean bros
What, there is a final list? Where can I see it? I'm interested...we've just seen the whole list, no tibby

What? Why put in Megamix spirits but not include the focal character of Megamix in as a spirit? That’s definitely a weird exclusion...is there a Pirhana Plant spirit?we've just seen the whole list, no tibby

I think any Rhythm Heaven rep would be unconventional! Honestly I worry that the chorus kids would and up being too gimmicky if they got inTibby getting in would be strange. Personally, I would still love Chorus Kids in over Tibby because the characters are more unconventional, but if Tibby happens, ehhhh....
I think its strange after Marshal had a trophy in 4. Also isn't it only Taranza who isn't a spirit at this point?Tibby not being a spirit really isn't that surprising if you ask me, several characters from other series are not spirits despite being the main antagonist of a popular game, like a few Kirby villains. Let's be honest, the story of Megamix was kinda just there to be there, it wasn't winning any awards. They'd much rather put in characters from the individual games than a character like Tibby.
Do we know if the Barista is a spirit? They're a similar case with Tibby.

Edit: Also I doubt Barista would be one anyway cause they're never used in promo stuff or had a trophy in 4.
Marshal isn't a spirit. There are 9 RH spirits I found. There might be more.So how many Rhythm Heaven Spirits are there total?
Hmm, do any of the other un-repped series even come close? Arms has 5 from what I can tell.Marshal isn't a spirit. There are 9 RH spirits I found. There might be more.
- The Wandering Samurai
- Sick Beats Doctor
- Munchy Monk
- Reporter & Wrestler
- Baxter & Forthington
- Wandering Samurai (Rhythm Heaven Fever)
- Sumo Brothers
- Karate Joe
- The Chorus Kids
https://pastebin.com/NCi8Af0N heres the list if you wanna look for more.
None of them are story characters.
Golden Sun has at least 8. Shovel Knight has FIVE spirits, somehow.Hmm, do any of the other un-repped series even come close? Arms has 5 from what I can tell.
Not too surprising since she isn't in Megamix or in 4 as a trophy even when she was more relevant.Rhythm girl is not a spirit I should point that out
No she was in Megamix through the Tap Trial games.Not too surprising since she isn't in Megamix or in 4 as a trophy even when she was more relevant.
