Ehh, I’m not feeling like the next Smash is just going to ditch all the work done for Ultimate. Just because Negotiations are hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It’s much easier to renegotiate on something that’s already been very successful before than it is trying to prove that the negotiations coming to fruition will be indeed fruitful without proof.
What I’m saying is. I really don’t think we’re getting a roster purge for next smash. Like Ultimate is a 4.5 next game will be an Ultimate.5 in my opinion.
I honestly agree.
For Nintendo Reps, it be pretty easy for them to port over most of them and save time.
For third party, most of these companies seem to just hand their characters over.
There’s no way Sega, Capcom Or Konami would be hard to work with again. Sakurai has talked highly about all of them, SNK to. We’ve seen them all be pretty generous towards the game.
Microsoft and Nintendo are also super close right now.With Steve not going anywhere from gaming, I feel like there’s no way he’s going anywhere. He would probably be harder to port over, but I think they would do it.
Square also seems pretty generous. The rights may be harder for some of the content here, but I imagine Nintendo has made good faith with a lot of the people tied to those rights, so that it could be smoother in future if they wanted to get these characters again.
The only real cuts I could honestly see would be maybe Sora, echos, plant, and not sure on anything else.
Even Sora though if he makes bank, I think they would at least try to get back. I still don’t find it hard for Ultimate to just be ported over to some extent for a new game, street fighter 2 style.
