Discussion Round: Surprise Character
- Character must have been/be on a Nintendo console
- Character most be relatively popular within the gaming industry.
We are looking for a surprise that would be considered "good" by the majority of consumers.
also no offense but I really don’t see how artoria is in any way a WTF pick. Certainly a bit surprising I guess but not that much.Artoria from Fate seems like the perfect WTF surprise character: her only Nintendo appearance is in the Fate/EXTELLA games and she could represent the more traditional visual novel video games as opposed to Phoenix Wright, whose games are more like puzzle games. Fate is an utterly massive franchise with some surprising Nintendo appearances and Artoria is among some of the most recognizable amongst them.
I'm not exactly against Bubsy but since other scrimblo 90's platformers are costumes or spirits (Gex, Earthworm Jim, Conker, Rayman) it would be a bit weird to have Bubsy just there when these are arguably more iconic.So then, anyone feel Bubsy is a good fit? He has history with Nintendo, he's very well known at least within Western gaming circles, he does have a loyal fandom and tends to be remembered fondly by people who grew up with his games (and to others would be too funny to really complain about), and he'd certainly turn heads and completely shake up speculation.
I wouldn't exactly call Conker more iconic than Bubsy - Rayman absolutely and Gex probably, but Jim is generally remembered about as much by the same demographic and is less iconic to younger internet-raised demos; while Conker is more just a Nintendo fandom thing - not a good pick for a third party IMO. Bubsy's absolutely got a worse reputation than those other characters, but I doubt he has much worse if at all recognition.I'm not exactly against Bubsy but since other scrimblo 90's platformers are costumes or spirits (Gex, Earthworm Jim, Conker, Rayman) it would be a bit weird to have Bubsy just there when these are arguably more iconic.
Hell naw, Conker is way more iconic, even if commercially Bubsy perhaps was more succesfull in his days Conker is actually appreciated by most people nowadays, besides that the first hour of Conker's bad fur day is more quality than the whole Bubsy series.I wouldn't exactly call Conker more iconic than Bubsy - Rayman absolutely and Gex probably, but Jim is generally remembered about as much by the same demographic and is less iconic to younger internet-raised demos; while Conker is more just a Nintendo fandom thing - not a good pick for a third party IMO.

Ahh, I'm talking about commercial success and general recognition, not quality or reputation.Hell naw, Conker is way more iconic, even if commercially Bubsy perhaps was more succesfull in his days Conker is actually appreciated by most people nowadays, besides that the first hour of Conker's bad fur day is more quality than the whole Bubsy series.
Doesn't this rule kinda go against the nature of the prompt?We are looking for a surprise that would be considered "good" by the majority of consumers.
Basically separating from “off the wall obscure picks” that no one knows about for the sake of it being obscure from characters people are familiar about but wouldn’t consider them eligible for Smash. We all knew who Sephiroth is but never seriously considered him thus we were blown away. Steve was also popular but Banjo killed his chances to many people. Joker was a huge surprise for numerous reasons.Doesn't this rule kinda go against the nature of the prompt?
What is considered "good" and what isn't?
They are also a Mii Costume so disqualified sadly.I got an idea

They were popular and are popular again today, plus they are unexpected since we have a spirit and people would assume they've been decomfirmed.
That’s why I tried to be careful with the wording with the lack of time I had to write the discussion prompt.Maybe would be better just say "Suprising Character" than "WTF character".
Imo the roster already has almost anything that you can consider "recognizable Nintendo characters", maybe Noah/Mio but their games aren't out already . Any other character I feel that could be more like a very big nitpick like add a bokoblin (that even then is an AT soooo).A non Mario Nintendo character would be surprising, due to the amount of third parties this DLC has.
