Don't forget.- I never saw this considered by a single person. The most legitimate WTF character, moreso than Wii Fit Trainer.
- Too big! - Irrelevant
No offense, but just because
have a spinning attack as their doesn’t mean Crash will (especially since Crash’s spin attack is, you know, not only his most iconic move, but one that was always pressed with the Square Button and nothing else).
I still think Crash and Rayman are more likely than any of the characters you mentioned. because of how much easier they seem to implement into Smash, Not to mention when it comes to platformers I believe they are the biggest ones left to have yet to make it into the game that just happen to also be western.Honestly- him not being seen as a viable option would, statistically, bode well for him, considering none of the characters that got into pass one were a 'viable option.'
I would not rule out a number of other characters.
Steve (Mii+ costume perfection, IMO); Scorpion (It's a fighting game, and Mortal Kombat as a media series is only surpassed in sales by Street Fighter);
well, I could go on, but I think these are the primary holders that come to mind right off the top. Oh- and Spyro. It depends how much his legacy is actually considered to have lived on in Skylanders.
I legitimately cannot imagine a world where this is possible. HIs most iconic move- if a special- would be his default move. Wompa Fruit bazooka... may not even get into the game.
As far as Spyro goes- he could easily be seen as the better option. If Skylanders is considered a Spyro game- which is debatable- then it is without question not only the bigger series, but the game that put toys to life, including amiibo, on the map. A worthy addition. Not only this, but a gliding quadriped is a very unique character just from the get go, as far as smash is concerned. While Crash could be just as unique, it would take a bit more creativity. (My new favorite concept for him is to give him a movement mode of being able to constantly spin with a B button mash- where he never has to leave the spin, and this gives him different properties of movement, like more sliding/less friction, and the ability to hover downward in the air).
- Crash has had 2 games already since the series was reborn.
I dont really see steve being a mii costume of any kind since his limbs would need to bendHonestly- him not being seen as a viable option would, statistically, bode well for him, considering none of the characters that got into pass one were a 'viable option.'

Considering that Spyro has the hardest time getting much of his games in Japan since Ripto's Rage, I severely doubt that Acti would ask about him over Crash. Maybe as a second addition in the future, but definitely not the first. Especially since Crash already has two projects published by Acti (and Skylanders stopped being about Spyro two games in).
I know Steve's limbs bend now- but did they always?
Other than the next Spyro game statement- which seems completely unfounded as far as I'm aware- your other statements are all true.
I was saying that steve shouldnt be a mii costume because his limbs would need to bend in order to be a mii costume
Oh. In that case- he is a great Mii costume. The Minecraft cutscenes use bendable limbs. It fits quite well. Minecraft Story Mode.
But i dont think using story mode's artstyle would represent the core minecraft style that well and also steve isnt in story mode so using the story mode style to represent steve is very out of "character" for steve
I guess if something put into the official game as a major mode isn't convincing enough, then not much else could be-- I personally feel it not only works, but is going to become something we see a lot more in Minecraft, as it becomes a media starling in tv and movies (inevitable progression).
I agree! Crash has been getting so much love the last few years. Nostalgia has its monetary value, for sure.
I agree, it's like having Kirby's inhale be his Down B.No offense, but just because
That wasn’t my point. What I was trying to say was that Crash’s support alone hasn’t really been big enough to get him into the game. In previous games, the character requirements we’re a lot harsh, so Crash, being a PlayStation icon, was mostly ignored while Banjo, a similar character, got a great amount of support due to his strong ties with Nintendo. Since the DLC cycle for Ultimate started, the chains holding many characters back were broken and Crash now has a lot more support, but despite being the less mainstream character, Banjo got in before him due to the amount of support that had accumulated over the years while Nintendo wouldn’t have noticed the demand for Crash until now.Honestly- him not being seen as a viable option would, statistically, bode well for him, considering none of the characters that got into pass one were a 'viable option.'

I would have that last fight be a team battle against the two hands with Ryu and Simon, since they’re secondary mascots for Capcom and Konami, respectively.How do you guys think Crash's Classic Mode would go?
I think it would revolve around mascots given his 90's rivalry he had with Mario and Sonic.

Despite Crash Bandicoot being a multiplatform franchise since 2002, Those games from that era were never on the same level of mainstream success and quality as the original trilogy and CTR despite being Playstation exclusives.
Respectfully, if he gets in, it's unlikely we will ever find out exactly why he gets in.
True enough, but my point still stands that he doesn’t exactly have everything going for him to be a lock like some people are claiming.
Around the 17th next month. Though personally I don't think we'd get anything else until they announce a complete edition of the game, for the one-year anniversary of its launch (or so). That was done for N. Sane Trilogy, so I can safely assume they'll do that again.
Funny idea, but I think it'd get repetitive at that point. My idea for a Crash trailer would be a continuation of Inkling's trailer with Mario and Link fighting, before they see this in the sky and Crash drops down, with the tagline "Crash Bandicoot has entered the station!" (get it?) - maybe it'd be better suited for another PS1 character given Crash has been multiplat for almost 3 decades now, but still.
Banjo & Kazooie are in the treehouse with DK, Diddy, and K. Rool this time and they're sleeping in their bed from the first game lol!
Not gonna lie, if that happened it‘d honestly be BEYOND lazy.
Not to mention, I don't think Donkey Kong, Diddy, K. Rool, Banjo and Kazooie would fit through that window.
More to the point, that setup only makes sense for Rare-created/related characters, which Crash is not.
That trailer idea would be amazing - you know what would make it better? Have them fighting Villager 2v1 before Crash swoops in, then at the end have the 3 mascots literally bury Villager's axe and give a high five - er, four. Sure, it's not subtle in the slightest - but I doubt subtlety would get across to the crowd that believes the console wars are still a thing.
