It already has six. It hardly "needs" another one imo.

I don't think it needs one, but it would be nice considering we haven't gotten a "new" one since Melee. 2 of them are different versions of Zelda and 3 are different versions of Link.

 

[FalcoXP]

It’s been nearly a decade man. Give us Skull Kid or something!

I think Impa needs to be in.

Link, Zelda, Ganon and Impa are the recurring characters of the series after all...

With Impa in the roster, Zelda wouldnt need more reps.

 

[Deleted member]

3/6 of them are variations of Link though.

This so much.

 

[Deleted member]

I think I’d baffling that people think Zelda doesn’t need a newcomer.

Because it doesn't "need" one.

Hell, none of the series "needs" a character. Would it be nice if they got one? Yeah.
But people need to stop acting as though it is an absolute necessity. Because clearly it isn't if we've managed to go so far without it.

She'd better have this design:

Unironically better than her actual design.

...oh

It's stated in the Nov 1 Direct that "Spirits can not come back to life" essentially meaning they are deconfirmed

— Big (@raisin_juice) November 19, 2018

I don't buy it.
"Losing their physical form" shouldn't mean a deconfirmation, Mewtwo/Lucas argument is still a strong bearing.

 

[DarthEnderX]

That trailer with Xander Mobus was better than the final Direct in every way. It didn't spend 10+ minutes on Help and Options.

Condensed 2 hours of Directs into 8 minutes.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

Can someone link the videos where SE spirits are shown? Just to make sure.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So what are everyone's opinions? Do you guys think this game will be the Melee Killer? Why or why not?

 

[CroonerMike]

All it's going to take is for a DLC character to be a spirit and everyone will be like:
"WELL DUH! We knew that spitz could still be playable *Snorts*!" -People saying spirits de-confirm characters 2k18.
Or
"I WAS RIGHT HURHURHURH *Farts*" - People saying spirits do not de-confirm characters 2k18.

 

[R O F L]

...oh

So now the only chance for Spirits to be DLC is if they decide to do a 2nd fighter pass.

A little late to this...but if i could add five, at the expense of cutting five(even tho I don't really think i would want to)

Add:
Elma(Xenoblade)
BWB(Kirby)
Dixie(Donkey Kong)
Geno(not for me, but for his fans, I am a martyr i guess;-*)
Either Banjo or Edlegard(Kinda leaning towards edelgard on this one but Banjo is cool)

Cut ;-(
Dark Pit(Edgy pit, i don't not like him at all...i just...really forget he exists...sorry )
Chrom(idk funny he got in for memes but another fire emblem echo really annoys me when it seems that the series has a ton of moveset potntial)
Wolf(Would rather cut falco but he is so beloved so alas, also don't obliterate me i guess)
Greninja(Also controversial but they just dont do anything for me, I think Jigglypuff is more iconic for casual fans (in my OPINION) as all my friends know who she is an NONE of them play videogames)
Dr. Mario(Kind of funny, but i also forget he is there 900% of them time)

With that tweet I posted above, this tweet becomes more sad

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Untouch]

RIP

Gonna need source on this one chief, going through the effort from both Toriyama and Square Enix just to get him as a spirit seems very unlikely.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh nice! I keep assuming everyone in these forums is north american by default.

Im not fro Na
Im from Idolm@ster Side M Hell

get your facts straight

 

[FalcoXP]

It's funny to thing that, we have Kaz Miller spirit in the game.

When you level up that guy, he will lose his arm and his leg lol.

 

[osby]

So what are everyone's opinions? Do you guys think this game will be the Melee Killer? Why or why not?

Only thing that can kill Melee is inevitable end of the Earth caused by expanding red giant Sun.

 

[Will]

So what are everyone's opinions? Do you guys think this game will be the Melee Killer? Why or why not?

If anything it'll be a Melee Assimilation, it may make big names walk a Trail of Tears to Ultimate, but not ultimately kill it. It'll still keep going for a good few years at top rates unless Ultimate proves to be something more. "Killing" melee is not something one can just do on a whim.

Did you not read the tweet

I dont think it will be Melee Killer, Melee fans are very loyal.

Well, excuse you. Forgive me for asking for one of my favorite series to have a bone thrown at them.

"Loyal". Yes, this is very polite, let's go with that.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Yeah, where is the sauce on Crono spirit?

Isn't he the first Square spirit we've seen?

 

[osby]

Well, excuse you. Forgive me for asking for one of my favorite series to have a bone thrown at them.

Wanting something and saying it's a necessity are two different things.

 

[Deleted member]

RIP

WHERE!? WHEN? SOURCE? GIVE ME... THE SOURCE!

 

[Deleted member]

"Loyal". Yes, this is very polite, let's go with that.

Gee, I sure do wonder what you’re insinuating.

 

[Will]

Did you not read the tweet

Did you not watch the direct? That's not what the translator said, and if you can use your expert Japanese that you've totally displayed to translate the original for us.

If the Grinch taught you anything, it should've been don't be gullible. And you're being very gullible.

 

[Untouch]

God now I'm going to need to go through all the Spirit Board videos to see where this comes from.

 

[Pyra]

RIP

ignoring the "RIP",

haha his partners are great

 

[Deleted member]

I'm gonna be real disappointed if that Crono spirit turns out to be fake because
>Timed Stamina Battle
>On Umbra Clocktower Stage
**** me man it'd ne perfect
EDIT: I didn't even notice the Green Greninja and ROB **** man please let this be real

 

[Deleted member]

I don't buy it.
"Losing their physical form" shouldn't mean a deconfirmation, Mewtwo/Lucas argument is still a strong bearing.

No, it really isn't.

Trophies served no purpose whatsoever other than neat collectables.
Spirits actually affect gameplay.

It makes no sense for say, Bandana Dee to be able to be equipped with a Spirit by the same name and identity.
The italicized is important because while we have cases like K. Rool and Wii Fit Trainer...
King K. Rool can be equipped with a "Kaptain K. Rool" Spirit and Wii Fit Trainer with a "Tree Pose" Spirit that happens to use another Trainer as reference.

We have yet to see any case where a fighter can be equipped by their own Spirit; rather like Daisy shows, they get their OWN special kind of Spirit that can't be equipped.

73 users? Looks like things are picking up again.

I'm not wasting my time with you, so don't bother replying to me again

 

[Deleted member]

People asking for sauce, eh?

 

[domriver]

@ all these potential characters being shown as spirits.

 

[Bee Card]

So spirits deconfirm characters ?
I need your opinions

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Your anti-Batman thing is getting to be as annoying as my Zoe thing

Do you take constructive criticism?

 

[Deleted member]

maybe

Oh **** I just noticed them. That’s a lovely detail.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

How will people react if the "Minecraft representation" is Steve being shown as a Spirit? So many souls would be crushed but at the same time increase Banjo's chances.

 

[KingofKoopas]

?

he was really pushing Crono as the Square Rep
