Maybe we can discuss who we all think who the final 4 DLC fighters will be and why?
I'm still pretty certain on Steve being in but otherwise while Erdrick still has a shot I feel his chances had dropped since the Direct.
Erdrick: Dragon Quest is huge in Japan, and is basically synonymous with gaming, over there. Plus, Putting a Dragon Quest character in Smash, could increase interest in the series to the west
Steve: Assuming 4 got both Ryu and Cloud, I'd expect another mega third party franchise to be represented, alongside Dragon Quest... And imo, Minecraft seems like our best bet. Minecraft is basically the face of modern day gaming, and has enough notoriety worldwide, as well as notable presence on Nintendo systems, to be very viable for Smash... If you ask me, Steve is very likely gonna be our first (and possibly only) Western third party character
Jibanyan: Much like Dragon Quest, Yo-Kai Watch was pretty big in Japan, and adding a character in Smash, could also help boost western interest in the series
Lloyd Iriving: Tales is a fairly notable Japanese gaming series, and it feels weird that Namco still only has one character in Smash, despite helping develop 4 and Ultimate. I'm predicting Lloyd over Yuri, mostly because he has more Nintendo noteriety...
