I think there are too many characters yet to be included and too many newer characters out now to only have about 5-7. It would need to be at least 10. That way you rep new franchises lile Splatoon and ARMS on top of having some of the newer characters from recent games in Fire Emblem, Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Kirby, etc.
Do we know the ballot results now? I havent paid attention to this stuff since we got the final DLC characters but it's pretty obvious Bayo was the most "realizable" of the top choices and not the true winner. In fact I'd guess that one of the reasons we didn't get inklings was cause sakurai decided to save that for this time around as they would be a more time consuming character to make; all of the final DLC characters were human shaped with movesets that weren't too different from what we've seen from other character (from a game programmer point of view i mean, they wouldn't require making some ink based moveset that might be very different from anything we've seen).
"Quantum" doesn't roll of the toungue the same way "Storm" does. Do you not like Storm? I admit, the idea of the definition of quantum is cool, but...
Storm is the best so far, just throwing out ideas.
Be sure to add more to your post so you don't get infracted.
I thought, on the contrary, Sakurai and the team had a very hard time coming up with Bayonetta's moveset and therefore her developement took a rather long time. They didn't rush her at all. There are therefore no reason to think it wouldn't have been the same for any other ballot contender.
I am going to contact Masahiro flippin Sakurai so I can tell him what he needs to name the next Smash Bros. game. Anyone know where he lives?
I think Early 2017 should be safe depending on when they started development. I'm hoping Rex & Pyra should be fine, because Xenoblade 2 started development before 2016.
I mean, a lot of games that consider themselves soft reboots take the name with no subtitlesThat one is already taken.
This is sort of what I was thinking. With the notion floating around that this could be a soft reboot, I don't see why this couldn't happen. Also, this may be a more "definitive" version of Smash Bros based on what we know. I don't think a subtitle-less name is out of the question.
I played Spyro when I was very young. He would make a legit addition to smash, alongside Crash bandicoot, which I also played when I was young.
That wasn't even a soft reboot. It's the final entry among the Dreamcast saga.
I think my whole list would be legitimate.
Really? You think Metroid Prime 4 and Fire Emblem 16 are gonna get in? We haven't even SEEN those games yet.
Oh I'm sure they did but I still say it was easier to make her than creating a completely new body type for K Rool or a moveset involving Inking up the arenas for Inkling.
Neither is Smash's version of Din's Fire. I'm working with what I've got here.
I think it was more acceptable to do that in Melee (and with an attack the player never actually uses), instead of in Smash Five, given where we have come.
I would assume since they are all under the Nintendo roof that Sakurai is going to these other teams to look into the games for characters to choose from. It happened with Roy in Melee. It happened with Lucario in Brawl. It happened with Greninja in Sm4sh.
Dude. You just made me realize. They might give Zelda the power of the Champion's spirits! At this rate, Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf could all become as good as newcomers.

That’s basically exact I had in mind. You can’t change the core gameplay which is the ink, but you can change the weapons they use. Even if it was something as small as the Inklings get the standard single-gun Splattersot while the Octolings get the dual guns, that would be so cool. You can’t represent all the weapon types in one moveset, but splitting it between the Inklings and the Octolings would allow you to rep them all while still sharing non weapon-specific moves, which still makes them unique but a whole lot less work than a full-on unique character.
If Sakurai wants to tick people off, that's one way to do it. I haven't played BotW myself, but I've seen gameplay of it- and you'd think he'd have an entirely different move set than the link we've had more or less for the past 4 Smash games.
"You demanded more heavyweights? Fine. All the characters are now obese."
Sakurai confirmed to have an inflation fetish.
Replace Shovel Knight with Simon Belmont and that's my 3rd party list tbh.As far as 3rd parties go, if I had to pick just 10...
Sorry Ramen.
