He's not as iconic as Terry in terms for his franchises. But Yoshimitsu is very popular and lot of Soul Calibur and even Tekken fans would be happy with his inclusion in Smash. Everytime I've heard most people bring up a Soul Calibur rep getting into Smash Bros., Yoshimitsu would be the 2nd name most bring up besides Nightmare.Eh, I dunno. Does he really strike as acase?
The Prince already showed up as a Pac-cameo taunt, so he's out until Bamco can prove to me that they don't have any cold feet.
You still move on a 2D plane. It's 3D in the same sense that Smash is 3D
Sophitia, nice choice.
for some reason i always associated Sophitia with SC more closely than Nightmare, and I'd never played any of the games
Look at dat in the middle! It's a Smash Bros. poster outside of that office on the wall. Maybe Nightmare or KOS-MOS Smash renders, models, voice clips are on the computer in dat room.
I think it's because Sophitia's more associated with the actual Soulcalibur; Nightmare instead wields the Soul Edge (Which, despite only being the namesake of the first game, is ironically more important than it's counterpart).
Nightmare is to Soul Calibur like Heihachi is to Tekken. The villain or the antagonist is more iconic than the protagonists.
Rie admitted she'd never played the game and associated Sophitia with it more than Nightmare, despite the latter being more iconic. I just gave some ideas as to why.

brought up a good point elsewhere. So far, all the content from Bandai-Namco in Smash has been from the Namco side. What’s the possibility that the next BN rep come from the other side? Like a whole Cloud then Hero then Sephiroth thing. Obviously the biggest Bandai IP that is created by Bandai is Digimon. I think it’s actually pretty plausible to see Agumon be our next Bamco character.
Probably so. But we just have to wait and see how things turn out. Afterall, it's Bandai-Namco's final decision on whether another character of their's get's in or not.
Dig-Dug could, I'm sure. I made a moveset for him back in May 2020.
But I thought that one dude here who was a HUGE Agumon fan and constantly made theories about him getting in made a thread for him.
I'm in support for Pooka. Dig Dug guy would be weird. Pookas are the real icons in Dig Dug and even made cameos in other instaments.
What will he do.. blow up
This is a generic and unimaginative post. You can be stuck wondering or do something about it, bud.
It's a joke, bud. Take it easy.
I wouldn't forgot about KOS-MOS since I would put her, Lloyd, Yuri, and Nightmare as the prime candidates for the potential Namco rep slot. While Xenosaga wasn't the most successful series, it is important to Xenoblade as without Xenosaga's failure in sales near the end, Monolith Soft wouldn't have left Namco and been bought by Nintendo later on to make Xenoblade. And for that reason alone in my opinion is enough to grant KOS-MOS a slot.
I don't want to go on a tangent here but I don't see KOS-MOS having a shot. The series is dead, a HD collection was said to be not profitable enough, and Nintendo would certainly go with Rex instead. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't see a realistic timeline where she happens.
Still I wouldn't count her out. Her series is part of the Xenoverse, but she isn't a Xenoblade character though. Plus you're forgetting about Elma and Xenoblade X doesn't have music in the game so Elma could happen instead of Rex.
The reason I pointed out Rex is because he is a Monolith Soft character. I'm saying that if Monolith Soft begged Nintendo to add one of their characters, Nintendo would probably go for Rex. I do think Elma has a small chance, but Xenoblade 2 is on the Switch and to my knowledge is the best selling game in the series. Right now, X is stuck on the Wii U so I struggle to see them going for Elma instead of the newest protagonist, unless if they are making a Xenoblade X Definitive Edition.
Well, Rex is popular and relevant. But Sakurai did say something about a "Xenoblade Chronicles 2 rep being potentially too late for base game" at least while Xenoblade X was made before Ultimate's project plan was finished in 2015. Check this out:
So with the rumor about Hero, Sephiroth, and Steve being planned all the way back since base game right here:
Official - Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion
Alright how about a game? Let's say there is a third fighters pass just for the sake of filling up the spaces so you only get three fighters and 1 individual fighter who doesn't have the other stuff like a stage, music or spirit board. Which characters would you pick? What stage would they...smashboards.com
And Elma's actress talking about a secret project she couldn't discuss around the same time that leak up above popped up on the Internet on 5chan, the timeline adds up if they were also planning to add another Xenoblade rep all the way back then.
What is that? Xenoblade X music is missing from the game?! And what is that? Byleth, Min Min, and Sephiroth brought MIA content from their series with them in their Challenger Packs?!
Not saying it's going to happen, but Elma's chances look really good right now.No. I remember Bill Trinen said it.

I also compiled a list of characters who would fit under that theoryHere's a theory I've been thinking about for a little.
Biggest Options Theory
Biggest Options Theory is simple: That each third-party character is one of (Though not necessarily the) biggest options their company has to offer. There's two definitions of "biggest option" here: Impact and recognizability in the overall industry, and popularity in the Smash fanbase.
Let's look at the third-parties so far:
Based on the 14-16 characters so far, we can predict that future third-party characters will also be the from the biggest games in a company's selection and/or the most frequently-requested characters they own.
I don't think Xenosaga would really fit the biggest possible options for Bandai-Namco. The best it could manage was one million, it's been dormant for a long time and Harada(?) flat-out stated Xenosaga HD wouldn't be profitable. She shows up a lot in other games, yes, but Xenosaga itself just isn't on that level.
I have to admit, this is a good argument. If we do end up getting something new with Elma, I will turn my head. For now, I will stick with Rex as one of my predictions but I will keep Elma in mind.
Right. Let's continue with the Bandai-Namco discussion.
You're definitely sleeping on Dark Souls brother
But who do they have that isn't a avatar? I know nothing about the series.
I mean, if you didn't want to go for an avatar character you could go for Solaire. He's pretty much the defacto mascot of the series and even has an amiibo. He can do pretty much whatever Chosen can do too, IIRC.
From what I can gather:
I don't know anything about Tales and it's pretty odd that it's in S Tier alone, I don't recall someone talking about it and it seems that the popularity is pretty much the same as DQ but a little smaller or worst yet the same as Idolm@ster (though that's a bit of an exaggeration). Is it because it's the only mii costume that hasn't yet returned that you put it higher?
