I feel that the fanbase in general sleeps on a lot of great characters just because of this weird Nintendo centrism they have.

It's a thing all fanbases have. We didn't have console wars for a reason, you know.

I think people are sleeping on a Mortal Kombat rep like Scorpion or Sub-Zero as well. I wouldn't say it's super likely or anything, but Mortal Kombat coming to a Nintendo console for the first time in God knows how long isn't something I'd bat an eye at. It's also another incredibly popular fighting game with a lasting legacy.

Mortal Kombat was on the Wii and DS. It's not necessarily a situation where they're long lost partners coming back after a long hiatus. Nintendo consoles were just underpowered for MK9 and then MKX.

I wouldn't say it's likely by any means considering that MK isn't popular in Japan and properly representing a game that focuses so hard on gore would be difficult. But it's definitely plausible in a reality where Bayonetta and Solid Snake are already in the game.

I feel the same at times.
I still remember how almost the entirety of Miiverse despised Cloud when he got revealed in 4 mostly for being either “an Ike clone/semi-clone” or a “Playstation character”.

Character speculation has gotten bland/boring since this year, so I'm more interested in whatever else we'll be getting in future updates.

Aside from the easy to guess returning modes, I would like it if they introduced a new/updated Boss Rush, with returning bosses from Brawl/Smash 4 (a few of them like Petey, Rayquaza, Metal Face already have in-game models to work as a base). I'd find that a neater way to represent Porky, assuming the bosses would be updated the same way Galleom was with some new attacks. I'd also vouch for Ridley on Pyrosphere to return in the same way Ganondorf can still fight Ganon.

The other obvious choice would be a mode for that one spoiler fight in World of Light. Maybe even make it co-op, or add some variations ala Mob Smash/All-Star.

I mean. It's a Nintendo fighting game.

God forbid.

I would also appreciate to see these modes added in future updates.

I also considered the idea of some kind of “spirit battle gallery”, where you can rematch the spirits you already collected to their respective battles while also being able to change the main CPU’s level. Of course, this would only be functional with the spirits you own, not the ones you still don’t have.

Microsoft has so many good characters, they should get their own crossover. We’ll call it Microsoft All Stars.

Real talk, a couple years ago I wrote up an idea for a Microsoft crossover shooter. Essentially instead of forcing their characters into a platform fighter like Sony did, make an approachable shooter starring all of their big characters, since they basically all shoot guns anyway.

But then Fortnite happened and the "approachable shooter that literally everyone plays" slot was filled.

Remember when Banjo was invited to Smash but Steve crafted his door too small so he couldn't squeeze his fat ass through?

This is a good post.

Considering a lot of 3rd parties have appeared on Nintendo consoles, it just seems ridiculous that a lot of big series not owned by MS or Sony are just being passed on.

Pretty much. And I say this as a guy that his most wanted is pretty much Erdrick at this point.

As much as I've been known to support Steve around these parts, I'm also super into the idea of Master Chief.

That’s a strange headcanon.
Mine’s is just that Banjo allowed Steve to get in Smash first due to the natural pacific behaviour of the beard. Of course while Kazooie complained as usual.

I just had a sudden epiphany

**** Steve, **** Sans, **** Shantae, **** Quote, **** Cuphead, **** Cadence, **** Jason. THIS is the indie rep we need:

If you ask me, I would give Steve a bow that shoots pretty fast instead.

Steve actually works really well as a Link echo, if you think about it. Only a few things would need to change (boomerang into trident that acts like a less powerful Pacman key, bombs into TNT)

Remember when Vault Boy was invited to Smash but fell through the world and got stuck?

I would expect seeing more people be a bit nostalgic for stuff like Doom.

Lol, nope.
The Doom fandom ruined my view on the series so much that I feel nothing good for it.

With Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil I can actually feel kind of nostalgic doh.
