Alright, question time: if you guys could put in one 4th party character in the game, anyone from any 4th media, who would it be.

Me personally? Darth Vader. I actually wouldn't mind him in the game, and trust me, I know it's never gonna happen.

The hell is 4th party/media? As in, something non-videogame-related?

Yes.

Since 4th Party doesn't actually exist and is a downright stupid label, I guess by default I'd add no one.

If that list is somehow right, I'm very happy Chrom was one of the only eight characters to outrank Bayonetta.

Like hot damn.

Also, in regard to the section translated, my rough translation gets this:


Essentially:

• Joker
• Erdrick
• What I understand to be Ryu Hayabusa
• Steve
• Either: Tales of (Velvet), Nakoruru, or Gen 8 Pokémon

Does someone like A Ayumi Tachibana wanna come in here and elaborate?

The part you translated is not the leak. The thread title is "I considered Smash SP DLC seriously" so the OP is just a random speculation.

Should I consider a username change in the future? For when I finally go Premium, of course.

Aside from that, I just thought of Opossum as a playable character, but as an actual opossum that just happens to be like a certain swordfighter. Buy or pass?

Popeye would have to be my first choice from a cartoon or whatever.

Then it'd be SpongeBob & Patrick, Inspector Gadget brown bricks, . . .

Wanted to verify this but the leaker later posted the supposed ballot results, I more or less got the idea that he posted the ballot results and at least until Ridley they are ordered. Am I not making a stupid mistake or assumption here?

Here we go:
Apparently top choices were Inklings, Snake and Ice Climbers if I read that right.
Followed by Sora, K. Rool, Naruhodo aka Phoenix Wright, Bomberman, Chrom, Bayonetta, Ridley, and among the franchises Pokemon, Dragon Quest and FF were quite strong.
Then the following were mentioned after them as loose but remarkable after the top ones:
FE (combined), Tales (Combined), Bandanna Waddle Dee, Monster Hunter, Paper Mario, Forest? (I think Animal Crossing), Castlevania (Combined), Dixie, Megaman (Combined?), Magolor, Professor Layton, Sonic (Combined?), Dante, Tohou (combined?), Master Chief, Kid Icarus (combined), Ashley,
Crash Bandicoot, Fate Character, Waluigi, Street Fighter (combined?), Minecraft, Fiora, Shovel Knight, Dry Bowser, Yo-Kai Watch (Combined), Ryu Hayabusa, Rhythm Heaven, Banjo, Okami, Krystal, Impa, Bio (combined) (Assuming RE), Rayman, Robin (Isaac?), Chibi Robo, Daisy, Kat from Gravity Rush, Mother series (combined), Puyo Puyo, Midna, Oliver (? I think Ni no Kuni was mentioned by the leaker), Geno, Mai Shiranui, Takamaru, Sakuraba Neku, Wonder Red, Starfy, Metroid (combined), Petey Pirahna, Tekken, Skull Kid, Custom Robo, Spyro, Culdcept
Mario, Kirby, Zelda and Pokemon combined is big. American heroes and anime characters were also popular.

Phoenix has always been up there with Dante/Nero as the Capcom character I want most, personally. I think the reason people don't bring him up much in speculation is because he's gotta jockey for the spotlight with all of Capcom's other notable characters, since you could pick pretty much any one of them and they would probably make a great Smash character.

That's sorta the problem when you already have Mega Man and Ryu: "where can we go from for the next Capcom rep?" And I can guarantee you, there is no easy answer at all.

Resident Evil and Ace Attorney have three games on the Switch now, but the upper hand that RE has is with RE2: Re, though a downside is that not being on the Switch. If we're just basing it off of Nintendo history, no doubt Ace Attorney has the upper hand with the volumetric releases it has, while RE only having just a handful of releases on Nintendo platforms. There's also Dante, but he suffers from still not appearing once on a Nintendo console.

Any third rep for Capcom has upsides and downsides, and it's unfortunately pretty hard to go about how to choose said third rep.

[TheMightyP]

I wouldn't he surprised if Inkling was the number one choice. After Splatoon 1 was released, everyone and their mother voted for them in the ballot. Their support skyrocketed, probably amongst K. Rool and Ridley tiers by their peak, and when they were deconfrimed, everyone just knew they would be in Smash 6, and assumed the 3DS is what held them back. They were one of the very few newcomers that were considered a 100% lock-in; they were just that huge in support and popularity.

Yeah; Inkling was an eventuality. It would easy to justify the lack of Inkling in the DLC anyway; but for the next game, with the fixed mechanics, they were the obvious choice... so obvious that the existence of Smash Ultimate itself was a bigger surprise.

Well that and the fact that they were the first new IP from Nintendo since, what, Pikmin?

Is there a way to still play Poker Night 2? Despite talking about it I've only ever experienced it via YouTube videos. And now it's been delisted from stores.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way outside of those other ways.

Also makes a bunch of Borderlands and TF2 items lost in the aethur unless bought prior.

I think the interesting thing is each of the named ones (or the ordered ones as you mentioned) got included in Smash somehow barring Sora and Phoenix Wright.

Sora's absence is understandable given how SE was with even what they HAVE in Smash already, but Phoenix Wright not making it in even as an Assist like Bomberman or a Spirit if this is legit?
That actually is suspicious to me.

Damn Skull Kid's actually there, thought his assist trophy wouldn't have helped him in the ballot

Assuming this is actually real - lemme dream

Actually, since Codename S.T.E.A.M.

Yeah, now you remembered that game existed.

But in all seriousness, I think there was Chibi-Robo, which got murdered by its own creators, but I can't think of any notable new IPs.

Plus, Splatoon's WAY, WAAAAAY more popular than Pikmin ever since it's inception.

If anyone unironically uses the term "4th Party" to mean anything, then why should I play along?

All words are just random noises we assign a meaning to. Anything can become a word if we want it to be. Frindle, or something.

To do list

1. Form Game Studio
2. Acquire necessary licenses
3. Make HD remakes/remasters of the first two Poker Nights (with physical releases)
4. Acquire further licenses
5. Create Poker Night 3

 

[Hinata]

but Phoenix Wright not making it in even as an Assist like Bomberman or a Spirit if this is legit?
That actually is suspicious to me.

The fact that the Ace Attorney series still has literally 0 representation in the Smash universe is an utter crime. Like, seriously, all their new games come out solely on Nintendo consoles, and any deviation from Nintendo is just re-releases of old games on other hardware.

And it has literally nothing to its name in Smash.

If there was an alternate timeline that allowed this sort of thing, I'd probably choose Samurai Jack to be honest.

Since 4th Party doesn't actually exist and is a downright stupid label, I guess by default I'd add no one.

Local man glued to his own philosophy:

 

[Gyrom8]

Could a character seeming like a shoe-in for a future Smash title have hurt their number of votes in the ballot? Like of course Inkling is popular, but they seemed like such a lock for the next game that people might not have bothered voting for them and channeled their efforts elsewhere

shut up shakespeare, you're confusing words with expressions and phrases

 

[Deleted member]

Now, if you want to know which character I'd want most out of all characters from non-video game originating franchises?

...but he ain't a 4th Party as that term is illegitimate.
