Wanting to play more characters that represent you is not a social agenda.
While I appreciate your rant, it made me sad because Mimikyu has zero chance to ever be playable in smash. And it wasn't in Pokken eitherTHIS, this is where I feel some of you are at fault when it comes to these things.
I don’t want more recent characters because their recent. I and many others, want them because we like them and want to them to get in as soon as possible.
There’s a reason why I and many others pushing characters like Elma and Lycanroc (whatever Gen 7 Pokémon) for the base roster. THEY’RE UNLIKELY FOR DLC. If Elma doesn’t get in the base roster she will likely get brushed aside for Rex and Pyra, and I don’t like them as much as Elma. If Lycanroc (or whatever Gen 7 Pokémon) do not get in, they might be brushed aside with who knows what Gen 8 Pokémon that I don’t know if I like as much as Lycanroc.
STOP GENERALIZING PEOPLE’S WANTS AND BRUSH THEM ASIDE. At least with characters like Geno and Isaac they had multiple chances and were becoming more and more likely over time. Elma and Lycanroc only have ONE safe shot at making the roster, and have had fans that pushed for them. This doesn’t mean we can want whatever character because they’re recent, WE WANT THEM BECAUSE WE LIKE THEM.
You guys in Smashboards are EXTREMISTS and are so narrow minded in the sense that it has there is one rule that is the end to be all.
“IT HAS TO BE POPULARITY”, “IT HAS TO BE _____!”
NO IT’S NOT! Newsflash, stop looking at newcomers through one ****ing lense and instead look through multiple angles, and if you want a rule, then it’s moveset potential, can the character be unique. Waspopular? No, he wasn’t anywhere to be found until Vergeben popped up, and it wasn’t until we dived deeper into Castlevania until we figured out why he was added and became likely because of that.
End rant.
Nostalgia's one hell of a drug.
I don't think anyone is saying there can't be balance. It's just that Smash 4 focused more so on the new, so fans of the old felt left out a little, and are happy to be catered to a bit more this time around.
Iconic characters with a lot of history were added to Smash 64, Melee, and Brawl.
Continue? As in after he was deconfirmed? Sorry maybe I'm misinterpreting.
You're taking this way more seriously than you should.THIS, this is where I feel some of you are at fault when it comes to these things.

End rant.
I'm already 100% happy with the roster so anyone else is a plus. And rest assured I still have beloved characters left, including one that has already been deconfirmed.I'm both looking forward to and dreading the final roster reveal.
Looking forward to it so that the excitement and anxiousness of who's in is finally over.
Dreading it because it sadly will not make everyone happy, and even I myself will probably be bummed out by some of the still to come de-confirmations. Since I've gotten most of what I wanted already, my biggest hope for the roster at this point is that other people can get what they want and the game makes as many people happy as possible. I personally don't care if a character is old or new, as long as they're fun and I like 'em that's good enough for me. I'd like a balance of new and old so that both sides can be happy.
But don't go thinking people only want old schools cause they're retro old schools and cause of Nostalgia as you've branded it.
If they get all the old out of the way, older gamers won’t have much to worry about and younger gamers can look forward to the rest. Seems like a good deal to me.
I'm ecstatic Inklings are in, I truly am, Splatoon is one of favorite Nintendo series and it's only three years old.
I'm not saying people only like old characters because of Nostalgia, i'm sure they truly love the character.
I find it hilarious Pyramid Head appears prior to Shantae on that list
If this is the only chance for a new character, that is an admission the character isn't lasting, which makes me question if they deserve to get in in the first place.
I don't think that's what people are being told. I think people are being told their character will have to sit this game out because it's character who have already been sitting smash games out for a long ass time despite strong as hell fan support.... time
I mean, newer characters are only added with each game, if they are lucky. We get old characters in every game. Smash 4 added at least four unique newcomers just from Nintendo, from pre-Wii era.
Let me guess, was it about Pyra censorship? The Fire Emblem conversation is hard to guess, because it is so diverse. Black Knight, FEH, Hector and all of that.
Um what? Ghirahim fans still want ghirahim, they just realize the reality that the chance that he will actually get in now is lesser, doesn't mean they like him any less or were bandwagon liking him because others were
Uh....we’ve thought that since 64. Look at K. Rool. Look at Ridley. Chrom was left out of Smash 4. Bowser Jr. and the koopalings didn’t make Brawl.
The Ridley fandom kept him up when even Sakurai said "He's too big for Smash"
To be fair, it's kinda like Pokemon or Fire Emblem.
To be honest, we did get such characters in the past, like Jigglypuff or Sheik. I don't think it's outrageous for contemporary fans to want the same.
"Deserve" is a pretty subjective term. There are tons of smash characters I think don't "deserve" to be in, but they just had the right timing. Doesn't mean they don't have fans who love them.
But Rildey has been a continuous character in the series and so it has always made sense to bring him up and hope he's in this time. Girhiam doesn't have that and so his fans aren't able to be as hopeful....also isn't he deconfirmed already? Because then yea that's the logical thing to do is to lose hope and excitement for your characters chances. If he's not deconfirmed then whoops thought he was.
You mean like K. Rool? Or Cloud? Or Chrom? Or Simon? Or Richter?
Wow, I didn't know rules of supporting characters in Smash was so strict.
I'm already making Ashley for Smashley posters.
Pokemon is a weird exception. I'd say Fire Emblem too, but we got 3 Awakening characters somehow. Xenoblade I really believe we were always gonna get Shulk first no matter when the series got added to Smash.
Chrom is just a clone though, he was an easy, somewhat popular addition, it's not like he's comparable to Elma or anything like that
