Oh yeah it definitely would, but I just believe he'll focus more on 3rd parties and put maybe 1 or 2 first parties because I still believe adding out of nowhere 3rd parties picks creates a lot of buzz in the Gaming community & Media which still get talked about till this day, I mean we have freaking Cloud, Snake, Banjo, Joker, Bayonetta, Sonic, Megaman, Pacman, Simon, Richter, Hero, Ryu, Ken, and soon Terry having all these characters in 1 freaking game is completely absurd and amazing at the same time.
You do have a point and I understand. but at least make it somthing to consider if an already repped character gets in as a fighter.
Don't worry I'm the type that keeps an open mind when it comes to any characters coming into Smash either 1st party or 3rd party I just have the mind set of leaning towards 3rd Parties being Sakurai's choices nowadays.
There is still a bunch of Nintendo characters I would like to see:
Why Edelgard exactly?If Sakurai really wanted to rep three houses in some way wouldn't it make more sense to pick someone associated with all 4 routes instead of just a few of them?It'd be kind of like if smash 4 chose Ryoma to rep Fates instead of Corrin or even Azura.
Oh please. You know they will reduce Divine Pulse to something lame like a counter, if that, just like they did with Shulk's future sight, except that one at least is plausible. Rewinding the match is pointless when the other player is equally able to adjust, unlike in-game where the enemy is almost always unaware. And what can Byleth do with a whip sword that the Belmonts can't? It's not anywhere near as flexible as Soulcalibur's Ivy's sword.
It's what I was thinking of before, so yes!! Besides, the definition gets murky and they'd have to acknowledge her popularity besides the spirit.
Realistically Sakurai wouldn't use the timeskip design so no heavy armor.Historically hes always used the base version of characters from the beginning of the game.(hence why we don't have Grandmaster Robin or Great Lord Lucina/Chrom and why Sakurai couldn't come up with anything for Chrom in 4)
Pirates curse in its entirety is an outlier in the franchise so I don't think that's very likely.The only reason the pirate gear is even a thing is because the last game ended with her losing most of her powers.I think if she does get in it's far more likely that her moveset will pull from every other game in the series.
I don't know about you but I find it kind of odd that Shovel Knight got 5 Spirits and Shantae only got 2. They could have added Rotty, Sky, and Bolo but didn't for some reason. Perhaps if Shantae is coming Risky is coming along with her as a Echo.It's what I was thinking of before, so yes!!

Well it was the latest title in the series during the Smash Ballot. And you know as well as I do if Shantae makes it in, it will be because of the Ballot.
Yeah, they could have at least given Rotty one...I don't know about you but I find it kind of odd that Shovel Knight got 5 Spirits and Shantae only got 2. They could have added Rotty, Sky, and Bolo but didn't for some reason. Perhaps if Shantae is coming Risky is coming along with her as a Echo.
I mentioned this on the last page but wasn't there a datamine last year that hinted at a Rottytops Spirit being added in a later update?
Wait... WHAT?!!
Doesn't really mean much tbh.For one,HGH was pretty far in development at the time and it's not like Sakurai immediately went to work thinking up movesets for every single frontrunner anyway.I don't know about you but I find it kind of odd that Shovel Knight got 5 Spirits and Shantae only got 2.

Well it's possible that Shantae could have her animal transformations as well as some of Risky's gear in her moveset to try and represent all the games.
I could see the scimitar being used as her dash attack.Or the pistol as a neutral special if he really wants to give her a projectile.
I've never heard of that one. I'd love for it to be true, but I feel like at least someone would be talking about it nowadays. The two datamined spirits I heard of were both classic Rare series that still haven't been added even after Banjo was released. It's leading some to believe a Banjo collection port is still coming in the future.
Those are some nice picks. I wouldn't mind Mike, he seems to be a forgotten part of nintendos history and smash could bring him back. I am hoping for Hikari and Donbe from Shin Onigashima
Well, back in December there was a dataminer that found a cut Monster Hunter Spirit in the game's code and no one has really talked about that.
, GrabWait, what?!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. With SK's spirits, people can go "Shovel Knight comes with Shield Knight and the Order of No Quarter's most popular members, go figure", yet the only other character Shantae comes with is Risky. Seems fishy to me.I don't know about you but I find it kind of odd that Shovel Knight got 5 Spirits and Shantae only got 2. They could have added Rotty, Sky, and Bolo but didn't for some reason.

As cool as that'd be, Risky would make zero sense as an echo. You'd have to remove the hair whip and transformations from Shantae's moveset, and at that point why even bother making it Shantae?I don't know about you but I find it kind of odd that Shovel Knight got 5 Spirits and Shantae only got 2. They could have added Rotty, Sky, and Bolo but didn't for some reason. Perhaps if Shantae is coming Risky is coming along with her as a Echo.
I didn't thought about Shantae's hair so you make a good point. I can't see Sakurai not implementing Shantae's hair into her moveset as it's such a iconic part of Shantae's abilities.
Perhaps the "Legendary" spirit can either be the Tinkerbrain (Starts out with Daisy as Risky Boots, with a large ROB filling out for Tinkerbrain. It can occasionally summon a Palutena to substitute the Dark Genies.) Or perhaps it'll be a generalized "Shantae and Friends" spirit, like the Champions, Geno, or the Phantom Thieves?
Look at Chrom. Has Ike's Up-B. And Ken is pretty unique clone/echo of Ryu.
Maybe the Pirate Master?He certainly has the power in the original game to be deserving of legendary status at any rate.
I know, I'm talking about new moves entirely. While Echos kind of existed in the form of clones back in Melee, there was one character who had one original move in his moveset and that was Ganondorf. For Ganondorf's Forward Air he would punch somebody in mid air instead of hitting them with the knee of justice like Falcon does.
But Roy is in his promoted class appearance instead of base like he was in Melee, and we have two different versions of Ike. Sticking only to the bare basics in that regard isn't an indisputable rule. Besides, if you've played though Three Houses (Black Eagles in particular), you should know there's a canonical appearance of pre-skip Edelgard in heavy armour. Really, none of the three lords have anything particularly interesting in their base forms, and Byleth is only slightly more so with his whip-sword (but not much else).
Risky uses her scimitar in lieu of a hair-whip for her basic attacks during Pirate Queen's Quest, so it's not much of a stretch to replace all instances of Shantae hair-whips with scimitar swings.

suggests where Risky is a semi-clone of Shantae, sharing mainly certain parts of Pirate Gear or equivalents (ie fireball spell vs. flintlock pistol). Since she cannot dance and transform to gain stronger versions of moves like Shantae does, the moves she shares with Shantae are stronger in general (such as her cannonball recovery giving her a hat to float with afterward, unlike Shantae), reflecting greater experience with them. Her main distinguishing feature is her ability to summon Tinkerbats to attack.
Personally would've made him Dedede, but hey
It’s not a poll, but it is based on twitter replies to Nintendo posts.
Oh? It's quite interesting, I must say! I wasn't sure how to relabel the link, so it'll just be "Reddit Placements", since the placements were hosted on Reddit.
Shantae Pulling 3 in the US is kinda Crazy she is also the highest rated female character (assuming the number of responses per region is similar)
