Does Edelgard have any assication with them? I don't follow Fire Emblem.

Also I don't think Sakurai and Nintendo will add another FE rep after the controversy with:ultcorrin:
And even if a FE or a promotional 1st party gets in, I think they'll be stand alone DLC with only the character, their fighter spirit and maybe some music.

If Tales is in Smash, I think it'll be Yuri who gets in. Just a gut feeling of mine.

OK, it's night here, but...

Someone managed to die on the first screen of my Metroid level, despite plenty of stuff that show you to not go into the pit until you hit the switch block.

In other words:

Part of me kinda wants to see Tales in Smash, purely to see how mad people will get and see how far they'll take their "Sword Stigma".

But, hey. We never know what'll happen.

I thought it'd be a Dark type too, but it's actually a Steel type.

I bet it can learn some dark type moves, though.
Given its crow like appearance I can still see Corviknight being a solid candidate and given Pokemon's popularity compared to Fire Emblem. It wouldn't cause as much controversy.

If we're getting a Tales rep... yeah I'm going to be honest I don't think we're getting a Tales rep and if we somehow did I figure it would be Lloyd. Overall recognition be damned because Banjo-Kazooie is in over Steve or Master Chief. He'll aim for the Smash fans again with a Tales rep I would guess.

If we get a Namco rep based specifically off of sales and popularity, it's gonna be Dark Souls. The first game has sold around 2.3 million on it's own, has a dedicated fan following around the world, and has become a legacy title due to its creation of a Soulslike subgenre. Tales in comparison is rather Niche in the west and has very rarely broken 1 million in sales. Again sales don't mean everything but, for a Namco rep, Dark Souls is all around more popular.

Hmmmm. I’m bored.....

What would happen if you somehow merged a Pokémon with a Persona?

Hmmm. I smell someone bandwagoning on what i’ve been saying for a year now.

She's the house leader of the Black Eagles. The picture was of a black colored bird on a house.


Also I really doubt the team would care about a vocal minority of Gamefaqs manchildren lol.

Banjo-Kazooie also has massive fan support and is an iconic character. So that matters too. Admittedly, yeah, there's no way the duo is more recognizable than Master Chief and Steve, but that's okay. B~K being an honorable Nintendo character is part of why it didn't look weird to add them at all.

While I’m interested in a Dark Souls character purely for its stark contrast with everyone we have on the roster, who do you feel would be the most fitting character. Chosen undead, Solaire, or someone else?

Pokemon will always cause controversy, but that's because people will segregate themselves and campaign for a single Pokemon, then complain when their Pokemon doesn't get in.

But that's just part of it. Nothing we can do to really change it. Zacian for Smash!

Can we even consider a Tales rep "aiming for Smash fans" though? He might be one of the more popular Namco characters requested for Smash, but overall, he's not really that highly-requested. Banjo's popularity reached a point where he was almost unanimously agreed to be the most requested third-party. Lloyd hasn't really come close to that, and his franchise hasn't ever really been heavily associated with Nintendo.

It was more brown with some white (probably just the light idk) and (if you look closely) a bit of green if you ask me.

Just like some starling images.

edit: actually:

Bit of a stretch but in terms of Pokemon we could add Blaziken.
I would add Raven from Gravity Rush but A. She's a secondary character and B. Sony is still sore over the Phillips snub.

I agree with you on Tales in general, but isn’t Lloyd at least somewhat associated with Nintendo due his game debuting on the GameCube?

I'm planning on watching some DBFZ and Tekken at EVO. Especially Tekken. I might peep a couple matches of other games too.

I’m just waiting on Fatmanonice to confirm if the bird was related to Smash or not

Been stalking the Geno thread and tbh there’s not much development since

I really need to learn how to let go of past mistakes

Sometimes I get physically sick thinking about them and that’s probably not very healthy

I don't mind if we get a Three Houses character in addition to a Pokemon from SwSh, but I'm not gonna lie, getting the former and not the latter would feel like a middle finger to the face.

If Sakurai is well-aware of how much controversy FE brings in Smash, why would he add yet another character from the series as a promotional pick and not something as wildly popular as Pokemon? Nothing against FE and it's fans, but it's obvious that people are experiencing fatigue from the franchise in Smash. They aren't just whining because they hate FE. They just want a break for now.

Maybe let some time pass instead of taking the opportunity to add the third FE character who got in for promotional reasons?

Maybe, but I still feel like his popularity and iconicness overall shouldn't make him more of a priority than other third-parties.
