What's wrong with Wreckless Safety Guy?

In the words of @GoldenYuiitusin, he's only popular because of a meme. It's the equivalent of wanting Shrek for similar reasons.

Because she's a creep.

She's a weirdo.

What hell is she doing here?

She don't belong here.

Spoiler

I'll see myself out of here like a true Radiohead fan.

YOU IDIOT!

YOU IDIOT!

[NintenZ]

The fact he is a character doesnt even exist used as a joke.

Yeah he exists,
He appears in that notification in every Wii game!

(I'm sorry...)

 

[JamesDNaux]

As far as third parties go for a hypothetical Smash NX with new characters, I still just want Rayman and Snake.


Damn Konami.



Damn three trophies with no explanation as to why they're in the game.
DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald.

Also, what the **** is Wreckless Safety Guy?

The word is Reckless. RECKLESS.

This isn't goddamn Wreck-It Ralph!

Not according to auto-correct it isn't.

[Fatmanonice]

What would you think if he was the first character announced for the next game?

Yokai Watch representation in the next Smash is about as inevitable as Splatoon and Hyrule Warriors representation. The series rivals Pokemon's popularity in Japan and it doesn't seem like it's going to slow down anytime soon, even if the rest of the world is ho-hum about it.

 

[Schnee117]

Well how about...

Banjo, Rayman, Shantae or Layton?...

Geno maybe?

How about a Microsoft character that actually matters instead?
Rayman would be cool but not as much hype as Snake or Mega Man. He'd be the only hype one out of the five you picked.
Shantae causing that much hype is just laughable.
Layton really wouldn't cause much hype either.
- Geno
- Causing huge hype

I think you're the first person i've ever seen say Hyrule Warriors representation is likely, let alone inevitable.

I ****ing love you for suggesting Rash!

Seriously, Battletoads is AWESOME!

I love watching lovers fight each other in a anime style scene

Splatoon? I agree.

The other two? I'd say trophies are their best shot.

Bamberman? Lara Croft? How about them?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Bamberman? Lara Croft? How about them?

I'd blow up if Bomberman got in!

 

[Burb]

Wow, a video about the rumor that's actually sensible.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

No love for THE best selling and most popular character under Microsoft's belt?

 

[Luigi The President]

Smash NX 3rd party representation?

Jibanyan, Dr. Eggman, Layton, Phoenix Wright

Possibility of Snake returning and Jack Frost but I wouldn't say they're either as likely as Jibanyan. And I'd honestly wouldn't rule Steve out.

Hyrule Warriors inevitable? Isn't that kinda jumping a bit too far ahead?

Splatoon is inevitable, I agree, but the other 2 not so much. Even if they're possible.

 

[Schnee117]

Bamberman? Lara Croft? How about them?

Bomberman - Not really.
Lara Croft - Probably.

 

[Burb]

Well how about...

Banjo, Rayman, Shantae or Layton?...

Geno maybe?

Geno's never going to happen, and his fans were lucky enough to get a Mii costume given his irrelevancy and unimportance to both Mario and Square.

And Shantae is a massive nobody who only got attention because her immature creator kept hyping her up for Smash himself. She probably would've never even been considered a viable candidate had he acted professionally.

 

[Luigi The President]

Wow, a video about the rumor that's actually sensible.

BURB! I've missed you and your Opinions(TM)! Where've you been man?

 

[Champ Gold]

You can always trust @RelaxAlax to be intelligent and entertaining to boot.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Ah, the one Dorkly video that rustled the jimmies of Mario fans everywhere.

It easily shows you that the fanbase clearly doesn't know how to take a joke and find an excuse to hate on Minecraft. Sad, isn't?

 

[Schnee117]

I ****ing love you for suggesting Rash!

Seriously, Battletoads is AWESOME!

He's only there due to Killer Instinct to be fair. Still much more than can be said for Banjo though.

Hyrule Warriors representation?

Hyrule Warriors probably isn't even going to be remembered by the time Smash 5 starts development. It's a Zelda spinoff. This is the equivalent of saying "PAPER JAM AND POKEMON RUMBLE REPRESENTATION IN SMASH 5 IS INEVITABLE!".

 

[Champ Gold]

He's only there due to Killer Instinct to be fair. Still much more than can be said for Banjo though.

But Battletoads is Rare's best IP not named KI and considering they just developed the DKC games, that's a lot.


Battletoads is the best and baddest


WHERE'S MY NEW GAME, PHIL?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

He's only there due to Killer Instinct to be fair. Still much more than can be said for Banjo though.

Oh right! He's gonna be in KI!

 

[Burb]

Is Yo-Kai Watch even actually doing well outside of Japan?

It really doesn't feel like it's taking off at all here in the states.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I found a Fire Emblem funny

I remember this show, it was a favourite

It's been doing rather meh from what I heard, most likely due to the Japanese thing

 

[Luigi The President]

People consider Shantae and Banjo but throw Jibanyan out the window...I see.

 

[NintenZ]

Wait a second, what about Crash Bandicoot?

 

[Luigi The President]

Pretty well. It's got an anime running and that's been doing good from what I hear. Yo-Kai Watch 2 is already being localized, at least it's been heavily implied.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Wait a second, what about Crash Bandicoot?

If THAT happens, I'm gonna laugh SO HARD at Sony

 

[Substitution]

I want Master Chief.
Obviously we should go all out with the 60 or 70 plus roster we're getting on Smash NX, so I say we deserve Master Chief.

 

[Burb]

Pretty well. It's got an anime running and that's been doing good from what I hear. Yo-Kai Watch 2 is already being localized, at least it's been heavily implied.

I'm aware there's an anime, but that doesn't really mean anything. It was brought stateside along with the game; it was the franchise's first bit of exposure over here.

It's not indicative of its success, since it's one of the things they're using to try and ensure it becomes a success.

If THAT happens, I'm gonna laugh SO HARD at Sony

Is this about Playstation All-Stars failing to nab Crash?

Because there's already reason to laugh at them.

The anime from what I hear is doing well, the toy line however... At my local Walmart it's pretty much non-existant...

 

[Wario Bros.]

There are two kinds of character requests that really infuriate me:

1) Someone so obscure or not technically a video game character to painfully try to "top" or
2) Another Pokémon Trainer that's either a different region or different set of Pokémon (even worse if it's just more starters).

Good point yeah, but I feel it wouldn't be running as long as it has if it hasn't been somewhat successful. I don't really know about that kinda stuff though so that's just a gut feeling opinion.

No sales figures have been released from what I can see, but I think it's at least mildly successful or else they wouldn't imply Yo-Kai Watch 2 or make the merch line so massive.
