I saw someone in another thread say they were considering not getting the game because they’re so disappointed in the roster
I'm in the same boat as you. 4's roster did nothing for me besides mega Man. This one added Ridley, K Rool, and Dark Samus. All I need are Black Knight, Geno, and Ray, and every character I've ever wanted will be in. If Joker were DLC as well I might never buy another smash game. I know Ray has no chance, but even if none of my other wanted characters get in this roster is absolutely glorious.
I honestly think Echoes are just post Smash-4 clones. Nothing more then that at this point. So this makes total sense to me.
And he has a Mii costume, just saying.
Why would Young Link be an Echo of Toon Link?
If not FE character #8 then definitely a boss battle character similar to Dracula and Rathalos.
>isn't on the stage
Is he not really?
How can it be even possible? Disappointed about some newcomers... ok but in the whole roster? Probably someone who didn't like any of the smash game's rosters! #everyDAMNoneishere
Unless the Black Knight has a Mandela effect that made people think his name was Red Knight, no.
Idon
for this as well because both him and I have sunk this claim so many times it's like a chore
I sure ain't, I will admit none of the newcomers have been more then "Oh cool" or "Nice, people sure will be happy" for me personally but those are good enough for me. Any of my top 5 would make me VERY happy, but if I get number 1? I'd flip. I know in a game with Ridley K.Rool, a very likely Geno my most hyped being a Rhythm Heaven rep is weird but eh. I think IF we do get ANY surprise char it will be them, but with all the popular picks there's a chance there may not be a "surprise char" per say. Who knows.
I wouldn't be pissed, I prefer more Fire Emblem characters than Mario. As much as Mario is a big name for Nintendo the side characters aren't really relevant i mean daisy's pushing it. Every fire emblem character is unique and important to a specific game, there is also a larger number of them so having a larger number of FE characters makes sense. Its the same with Pokemon they should have the most characters because they have bloody well 900 Pokemon to choose from, seems fair to at least have 9 Pokemon a hundredth of the number.

To be fair, don't you really only need one character to be satisfied? A character that's been in since 64?
I know he gets a suit change, but let's compare here.
It's a General unit.
Only reason clones have any significant Value is because of newcomers. No one would be that hype if Sakurai stated that every newcomer would be a clone of someone. This is where the core of echos come into play, and why they're not as valued as original fighters, and probably why Sakurai doesn't consider them "newcomers" and made that statement at e3 about expectations. They have value BECAUSE they are also mixed in with unique fighters. Sakurai said there's only a few more fighters left which implies for newcomers means around 3-5 IMO which makes competition for Isaac, SORA, Llyod, Pokémon, Geno, Banjo, Skull Lid, Surprise characters, Xenoblade, etc.. much more fierce.
My question is why they would change it in the first place if it wasn't supposed to resemble BK?I know he gets a suit change, but let's compare here.

That's definitely not the same red, nor is it the right cape.
Also, Brawl focused on PoR, not RD.

That's what confuses me, why the helm and why remove it?
It's kind of a Black Shadow situation. He's not really thrown into relevancy until someone either points something out or someone rediscovers it. The Echoes trend is making heavy hitters.
I agree the sole thing in his favor is the helmet, as it could've been the only reference, but I doubt it confirms Black Knight as a character. Only because of one thing.
Palutena failed pretty badly at cooking in that promotional short, but she is at least enthusiastic about cooking. Appearently pheonix eggs make divine omelets and the Forces of Nature are especially good when prepared with a hard cheeze.
Hey, I was supposed to answer that!
That's what I'm thinking. It looks more like Black Knight than it does any other unit, including the generals.
How does the Link model really relate in this case, though?It's kind of a Black Shadow situation. He's not really thrown into relevancy until someone either points something out or someone rediscovers it. The Echoes trend is making heavy hitters.

SUCH an awesome character. I've lost my pride, because I really want him in! He's badass, the deepest villain Fire Emblem's got, a fan favorite, BADASS, amazing design, and, again, BADASSERY!
To be fair, the comparison is more around this design, which is his most iconic one and the one likely to be used in the hypothetical situation he's included:I know he gets a suit change, but let's compare here.

It's a reverse situation, I didn't expect you to really catch on. You know how Alfonzo takes place, right?
He looks slow, but he's actually a pretty quick guy.
Ike is fast in his home games and Black Knight is about as fast as Ike. They were even trained by the same guy, so their shared fighting styles make sense for an Echo.
My favorite moment in all of video games was in Radiant Dawn when he shows up out of nowhere in part 1. Like "holy **** I get to play as the Black Knight?" The most surprised and excited I've ever been at a game.
If I remember right, the BK can move freely and quick with his armor on due to it being enchanted.
Right now I'm watching a close friend play through PoR, and I've never been so hyped to see a character's house in my life. (BK's!)
smash ultimate looks like it will have combos for sure. hopefully those combos come from normals and not mostly grabs.
Actually no, I don't think he does. But I don't see how the removal of it affects Black Knight's chances considering:
