Just gonna put it out there; If Sakurai revisited Mach Rider, he could certainly revisit Ayumi for DLC
But then there's the problem, there was discussion about earlier, concerning the sales of it. Ayumi, is unfortunately not the most popular character out there, so, how many people would care?

I mean, I'd absolutely adore her as a DLC character, and I'd say that everyone here would too, but, the people that care about her, aren't the wider Smash community, sadly.

I'm just trying to be realistic here, sorry if that comes across as negativity...

What if they pack more niche characters with super popular character? As a bundle.

While maybe it could happen if they wanted to add Ray 01 back in. You could bundle him with Monster Hunter and then bundle Ayumi with Dixie. I have my doubts about any retros being DLC though.

Both seem like reasonable solutions.

Having character bundles than singles would at least help sell a character like her.

More people can know who she is, feel free not to play as her if the don't care, and she gains a fandom. Win win.

As much as I hate to say it, I will step down as the head of this detective agency.

As in anyone can feel free and step up as the new thread owner since I am leaving for a long time.

It's been an honor pushing for Ayumi, but my time of Smash speculation is done.

I'll miss you, but I'll try and push for our detective girl in your stead, mostly by smashing Like on Ayumi posts and hoping it works.

I will also try to support her as much as I can even if DLC chances are slim

I wish I could've gotten to talk with you more, but you do whatever you need to do. Goodbye, and thank you.

I could take over as new thread owner, but I'm waiting to see if more people want that role other than me first.

Us retro lovers have to band together! Ayumi is our girl, but if it's Mach Rider or Starman or Donkey Kong Jr. Math, you won't find me complaining. Every retro added is one step closer to the Famicom Detective Club!

The majority of the character I want that haven't been added yet are retro. The next half dozen characters could all be retro and I'd be happy.

Amazon or Starman
DK Jr.
Mach Rider
Urban Champion
Ayumi
Mike Jones


all these are characters that top my wants list.

Ayumi is strangely absent in all those montages of spirits...
Could this mean??

ikr I was trying to find at least her spirit in the direct but couldn't find it

On the bright side it could open up the door to her possibly be DLC yet on the downside they had just completely forgotten her yet again

I will say if sakurai doesn't make spirits dlc characters( which I doubt) not seeing Ayumi is a huge boost in her favor.

Still I feel like 1 of the 5 currently planned DLC will be a retro, and she has a good chance there as both takamaru and Prince of Sable are still Assist trophies

I wonder how they will handle DLC this time like will they have another ballot of some sorts?

If what Sakurai said is true when he was talking about Rex, he has already picked the 5 fighters for this season. If we get more after it, then we may see a voting go out.

wait but didn't he say that they hadn't yet begun working on the DLC characters yet and that they were first going to focus on finishing the game

He hasn't started working on them, but that doesn't mean they haven't picked them yet. Plkus I'm sure they have the basic blueprints done for these 5

Does Ayumi have an official artwork that could work as a spirit art?

I think Ayumi still has a reasonable chance to make it in. Or atleast her odds aren't any worse than they were before.

I've always assumed this is official artwork?

And if so, I'd say this could work. :)
Better than nothing. It does have that 90s retro feel.
I really wanna see some modern official Ayumi art from Nintendo.
