This Lucina isn't really canon though. She doesn't exist outside of Heroes, so I don't think she really belongs in Smash that way. Her signature look with Falchion is probably the way she should stay, although she could use a moveset update if she stays.
I'd be okay if we got the main character from Minecraft Storymode. The series surprised me, and as of recently, its one of TTs best written series. If a playable MC character were as animated and alive as the ones in storymode were I'd be okay with that. Plus they were actual characters in that game which is a plus over Steve since hes just a blank expressionless canvas.
I would love to give you props for the trolling... but Daisy would still be from the same original trilogy.
Oh, id be okay with him/her. You just made the idea of a minecraf character seem much better in my mine.
Do we really have rules against games that aren't canon for movesets in Smash. I mean do we consider Mario sports games canon, as Peach uses moves from those games. I'm sure there are other examples like this too. A question I have is who designed the art for FEH? Was it IS? Because if so maybe they have plans for that Lucina going forward.
I feel the same way. Uprising was such an awesome game and a big part of the reason why it was so good is the amount of versatility you had with your weapons.I'd like to see Pit and Dark Pit use some more items from Uprising. Just way too many of their smash attacks and moves in general are the Palutena/Silver Bow. Almost every single move is, really.
It's really boring and a little sad considering just how much there is to work with from Uprising, which Sakurai himself should obviously be aware of.
Note that these are just the base weapon types and there are tons of different weapons in each category that could function differently.
I mean there aren't rules set in stone for an awful lot of aspects of Smash characters. That being said, I don't think we've ever had a character appear in a non-canon way, and I don't see Lucina being the first. Especially considering she's the face of modern Fire Emblem. Changing to that would make her look a lot different, and also not use her signature Falchion. I'll wholeheartedly disagree the idea that one should consider this very possible, if possible at all. No character has ever appeared in a non-canon look with a non-canon weapon, especially when they have an option directly related to them.
1) Pits don't need more for Switch. Pit should eat Dark Pit and get his strength. I'm sure there is plenty of Yaoi art already satisfying this prediction.The Pits do need a buff, though. Their hitboxes are actually smaller than they appear in Smash 4.
The Pits just needs... "more" in Smash for Switch. I am not saying the Pits are low tiers, the Pits are just bland mid tier. The Pits are the most underwhelming characters in Smash 4. Also that recovery can be changed I guess, but I do not know either.
I can see why Steve is likely, but Sans... I do not know.
Steve is a megaton Microsoft character. If we are getting a Microsoft, it is Steve for sure. Steve is something a lot of young children love, and he is family friendly.
Can you stop with these actions please?
You mean the old "OOuf!" sound that was removed when the game was released, escaping beta? The new hurt sound is just a bone-crack noise, considering Steve is known to be mostly silent. The old "OOuf!" sound would be nice to return in Smash for Switch. Maybe they can make a new vocal for him even.
I don't take kindly to homophobia around these parts, partner.
I would imagine Miis will return. but I wouldn't be shocked if they got a massive overhaul and worked into 1 or 2 characters rather than 3 fully unique characters.
Mii's as creation based characters makes too much sense... but I do not think it should take the spot of three characters, nor the time. Maybe just a mode?
Yeah I think getting rid of size differences is a huge step in the right direction for them, especially in regards to standardizing them for online/competitive play. I do also think they should have movesets based on the games they're from rather than completely original movesets, though. It was disappointing to see that they spent the time to make 3 Mii movesets + customs. This is one situation that I feel a character sort of took the time that could've been spent making a different, more interesting character. Miis are fun to play, but they lack any personality and don't carry the same level of significance as much of the Smash roster, and certainly not enough to warrant being 3 full characters.
this soundin like someone who didn't conspire with their friends to make whole storylines in smash using miis kinda like wrestling eras.
I really like playing them too, honestly. I think their movement feels smooth and their animations/sounds are satisfying. That being said, I'd rather have one Mii based on their most prominent games and then 2 other characters, because the only thing Miis needed less work on than a full character was making a model.
Well you certainly aren't wrong, my friend.
Why not think outside the box a bit? Instead of basing the moveset around the Miis and what they do in exclusive Mii titles, why not design Miis around an actual moveset idea? Something like the Nintendo Labo for example?
Well that took a hard turn!
"nothing personnel kid"
In terms of Nintendo fan popularity, Banjo is the clear winner and would fit well in Smash. Minecraft however sold over 140 million copies and still has an active player base of 70 million users so its casual appeal is massive.
While I would have loved to see Banjo and Kazooie appear in Smash, especially during the Melee and Brawl days, I think it has gone well beyond their time to appear. Microsoft has not done anything new to bring the bear and bird back into the spotlight to make them a favourable consideration, really having only dragged their name through the dirt along with Conker. I get that they were a huge part of the N64 period, I loved both games and play them still now, but I unfortunately just do not see the value in bringing them back, especially since Microsoft would be the ones to mostly profit it off it as any new purchases of their games would be on the Xbox (*shudder) and would only be helping them make a new game, it is not really a priority for Nintendo.
I am fairly certain the sheer amount of people purchasing the DLC would more than make up for it... Just like literally every other third-party character that was not on the base roster. That is sort of the point.While I would have loved to see Banjo and Kazooie appear in Smash, especially during the Melee and Brawl days, I think it has gone well beyond their time to appear.

I have seen that Phil Spencer would be a-ok wit them appearing, and props to him for being a cool guy with that, but honestly I think Banjo and Kazooie on a Nintendo console, including Smash is something that will have to be left as a what could have been...
To be completely fair, Minecraft sales do not necessarily translate to "Steve" being popular. I am sure that there are plenty of people out there, but the 70-140 million figure is grossly hyper-inflated. It might actually be better to just have a Minecraft stage or something much more recognizable.
A poor thought process, the Miis were the Wii's flagship characters and are extremely recognizable. They were also there for the 3DS, being the main focus for Spotpass. Lack of current relevancy is NOT a factor in Smash
with the Mii's last game debuting in 2017 (2016 for Japan), theyre not exactly dead yet.
Kid Icarus Uprising, a game Mashpotato Samurai was working on prior to Smash, literally pushed three of those to the forefront. Beyond that, Ness and Captain Falcon were much more relevant around Smash 64 (the same with Lucas for Brawl)... Which was their debut game, by the way. Pikmin 2 was out about a year before development began for Brawl as well. And beyond that, yes, a retro character does not need to be relevant (despite Mac's 09 appearance and assist trophy upgrade), bravo for understanding the purpose of including them.A poor thought process, the Miis were the Wii's flagship characters and are extremely recognizable.

I think the point he was making was that the characters he listed no longer necessarily have the relevance they did when they were introduced just like the Mii fighters. They were certainly relevant when they were introduced, but may not been seen so much in the current climate.
That is more or less what I would consider to be ideal. I do not want any more development time wasted on them, but having an actual identity would help establish their presence on the roster. I know that somewhat defeats the purpose of Mii Fighters, but it just creates too many complications and three boring move-sets rather than one move-set that fans of the character can actually appreciate. So even if it means less customization, I just want the character to be practical and for fans of the character to actually be able to use them.
Agreed. It does not quite reflect the customisable nature of Miis, but, it does act pretty much how most games that used them do by going, "Hey, look! Your character's face is on this generic body doing cool stuff with Mario and other game characters. How cool is that?!"
does that moveset include the rocket uppercut from mii gunner?
Funny enough I made a post about my thoughts on Banjo's chances last night
