Sylux.

There's also the Fire Emblem: Three Houses characters I believe unless they were seen too.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Yeah, like Steve!

Nah, Steve would be pretty great, to be honest with you...

I have some nostalgic memories with Minecraft...

 

[Will]

Aahh, see? I'm not as crazy as I smell!

Crazy is still crazy no matter how you put it.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So, been trying to get into FE. Don't have money, so I'm playing the FE heroes xD

I disagree so you’re objectively wrong. Sorry I don’t make the rules

 

[Will]

Yeah, like Steve!

How would that be bad, exactly?

 

[Pouchie]

I'm starting to think that at this point, i'll take any character that's not a fire Emblem character, even meme characters like Sans and such, Why not? i'd play as Steve and such lmao, And the worst part is they would probably be super fun to play !

 

[Opossum]

Wait, what? Where can I listen? I love Code Name : S.T.E.A.M. soundtrack!

I don't have the link off hand, but if you go to the search bar, set it to this thread only, and search for the word "steam," you should find it.

I'd even take another Sonic. Not another Sonic character, another Sonic

no u

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

If Sylux were to get in, I'm worried that people would complain since Metroid already got 2 new reps in this game. I don't want Metroid to become the new scapegoat for overrepresentation like Fire Emblem.

 

[Deleted member]

Listen, I’m not implying anything but...

I really don't want him in though, I don't know what other way you want me to drill it in. I could make a moveset for Ashley but I still never want her in.

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm taking a wait and see approach to the whole "Spirit characters can't be playable" thing. Since Smash 4 did have Lucas and Mewtwo as trophies before they were playable, which takes more work. On the other hand, Spirits, while less work was needed, have some kind of gameplay purpose.

Obviously I'm hoping it shouldn't matter if a character is a Spirit PNG since that guts the choices for DLC by a decent chunk. But it is still certainly possible.

Honestly, I would say neither side should be jumping the gun like they are because we won't know until we see said DLC characters.

Don't buy them?

Also I've legit never got the mentality of 1 or 2 characters out of a game with 60 plus characters totally ruin the experience for me.

Because hate fuels the body longer than joy does. I didn't have the cash to get all the DLC, so I just got Ryu, Cloud and Mewtwo. I already know for a fact I can't give a **** about Lucas or Roy, so I don't spend the cash on them.

CLASSIC SONIC FOR SMASH LES GOOO

 

[Michael the Spikester]

That'd be very hypocritical since there are 7 Fire Emblem and 10 Pokemon characters which some people are fine with.

Super Mario Bros. is understandable though since its the face of Nintendo.

 

[Potato_]

Tingle.

uhh yeah you guys can keep him

Is there a list of spirits somewhere that is consistently updated? I'm curious to see them.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Tbh don't understand the hate for so many FE reps, yeah, it's quite a lot, more than we should have, in my opinion, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Listen, I’m not implying anything but...

Some characters just grow on people overtime...

 

[Imadethistoseealeak]

Because of how much work went into Spirits/WoL I'm almost positive work was done on Spirits way before they thought of dlc.

So for spirits to deconfirm dlc that would be after the fact Nintendo/Sakurai would have to have sat down said "Ok who should we look at for dlc characters" "How about Bandanna Waddle Dee?" "That's a good choice" "Oooo..I hate to be that guy, but we already made him a Spirit. You know, one of those pngs, of which there are 100s?" "Good point. Can't do that. Next."

Yeah I don't see that being the situation. The other situation is Spirits were decided along dlc, which again, I don't think is likely.

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

It's spreading around a bit

SHIT. Rayman, Geno, Shantae, Bandana waddle dee, could be 100% done and dead.

It doesn't help that Sylux is a character who only appeared in one Metroid game 12 years ago. People would get pissed.

Just make Chrom a DLC character. He's not quite everything yet.

You might wanna spoiler that... it has some naughty language that Smashboards doesn't approve of...

Good starting point

 

[Opossum]

God, if spyro or crash got in, that would be my worst nightmare.

Personally I'd love to see Crash in Smash. The first Crash Bandicoot game was one of the first games I ever played, so it has a lot of sentimental value to me lol.

In Smash, I think he'd have a really cool moveset based around his crazed and chaotic nature, basically fighting like a Looney Tunes character. Given his over-the-top cartoony animations in his home series, I figure that'd be a good route to take him.

To each their own though!

 

[Wyoming]

If Spirits really are a character request genocide, then this means only a couple characters are still in the running.

-Banjo
-Crash
-Spyro
-Steve
-Heihachi
-Sora
-Literally any other Square Enix character.

Lemme know, if I’m missing someone.

When you somehow survive Galeen's blast:

 

[Kingslime304]

Since there is a Nia Mii costume, this game will be the closest thing to cosplaying Nia in a game.

honestly we'll have to see, If we ever get a actual confirmation that is, I guess it's healthier to go with the ''deconfirmed'' mindset as in if one gets into DLC it'll be more of a surprise, but it's a choice of how people decide to see it

 

[Diem]

I'm a huge Metroid fan and have wanted Dark Samus for over 11 years, and even I don't think Sylux should be in until he shows up in another game with a more prominent role.

Arle Nadja still hasn't been shown as a Spirit, which is something to note since basically every other Sonic character and many other SEGA characters have been seen as Spirits.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

When you somehow survive Galeen's blast:

If he does become DLC I hope they have CGI trailers for the DLC fighters, because I really really really love the idea of Phoenix and Maya meeting Villager and Isabelle in his trailer.

 

[DevaAshera]

Agreed! If he does get in, I can't wait to see what Nintendo does with him. I feel the reason most people hate him is just because of the Minecraft fanbase, but I could be wrong.

I hate the idea of Steve because the character's appearance and animations are boring. Steve doesn't even have a pained or jumping animation in his own series, his only animations are walking and hitting..thats all.

Sakurai tries to stay true to source material so he'd still be boring..

And I say this as someone that enjoys Minecraft.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If Spirits does indeed deconfirm characters my new DLC prediction then is.

-Banjo-Kazooie
-Byleth or Edelgard
-Lloyd Irving
-Sora
-Steve

That is true. If Steve did get in, that's one thing I wouldn't like. But I don't think that ruins an entire character. I just see it as a nice nod to the franchise.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'd like to point out that no Geno is not de-confirmed he was an online icon in the arena. This all goes under the assumption that for some reason Spirits do de-confirm characters anyways, but....

A spirit of him or any Square rep has not been shown just yet.

I repeat people are giving up on Geno too early.

 

[Gyrom8]

I feel like whenever someone says 'this character hasn't been seen as a Spirit yet', they'll pop up five minutes later. It's almost as much of a curse as saying 'yeah, this character's a lock for DLC'. Gotta keep shtum.

 

[Grunky Peep]

We saw spirits for Slime and Crono.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

That'd be very hypocritical since there's too many Fire Emblem (7) and Pokemon (10) characters which some people are fine with.

Yea, that's kinda what I'm saying. A lot of Smash fans are pretty hypocritical to begin with because most of us have franchises we're obviously biased towards. From what I've seen, many people seem willing to accept another promotional FE character like Edelgard, but it doesn't seem like many people are onboard with a promotional Metroid character like Sylux. It doesn't really make any sense to me.

 

[JacobLeBeauOFFICIAL]

Smashboards needs to grow a pair.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

We saw spirits for Slime and Crono.

Faked. At least the Crono one is.

I don't know about a Slime one, but I can wager that that one is also indeed a fake.
