How people who don't care who the Square Rep is and have to witness "It's Erdrick! No it's not!" debates feel:

That's pretty much been me this entire time, since the only Square rep I really want is a Bravely Default rep (or Tifa, but that ain't happening).

Ironically, they only rose in likeliness after "Brave" was revealed, so it's been a weird experience for me.

Well, to be fair, Piranha Plant's name in the files was "packun", which is just the Japanese name for Piranha Plants (Packun Flower). So not all codenames need to be cryptic. I dunno why Joker's is "Jack".

It could be a direct reference to Joker in itself, via his role of Jack Of All Trades, a reference to Playing Cards, or just Jack Frost. Packun was the only one that was straightforward to begin with.

Brave is probably something like a reference to the character as well. Of course, we don't know for sure that Jack is Joker, as it's not literally possible to confirm, but it's a pretty safe guess at this point anyway.

Isn't the Mementos stage explicitly tied to Jack in the datamine?

If so, then there's not much else that could be the smoking gun than that.

I actually forgot about that. Yeah, that's our hard tie to it. Thanks for bringing it up.

I mentioned I was going to do this yesterday, so here it is...my latest roster! It's...pretty similar to my last one. I'll point out the specifics. I was going to use the actual image itself, but I had to screenshot it instead because it was being dumb.

View attachment 208469

Joker and Erdrick are effectively spoken for. I've already made my case for a Resident Evil character, and can link my post if absolutely needed. Jill is mostly my pick, but Leon Kennedy is a good alternative, or could work as an alt skin.

My previous roster had Heihachi rather than Lloyd Irving, as I felt at the time that Tekken would get a placement in the roster. However, after some consideration, I have decided that I would rather see Lloyd irving. It's both a pick that I would like to see, and one that I believe may very well be the case. Not only has Sakurai hinted that Lloyd was "the Tales pick", when discussing the Mii Fighter costume, but from what I'm most recently discovered...the Tales JRPG series is highly regarded in Japan, making it referred to as "the 3rd most prominent JRPG behind Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest". Tales of Symphonia, the title in which Lloyd Irving is the protagonist, according to sources connected to Wikipedia (Wikipedia itself is suspect, unless the content is sourced) is considered the title that started the true exposure for the Tales series to the West. It's also, according to other sources, the highest selling Tales game to date.

I'm not one to argue about sales. I am simply going to suggest that Lloyd is the most recognizable character from the franchise, even if Vesperia's Yuri Lowell is the most popular among the fans of the games (hopefully soon I'll learn why), I feel that Lloyd is a better pick. He's crossed over into numerous games before, and is an icon of the Tales series himself. Not to mention, I'm incredibly intrigued by a double sword wielder as opposed to another single sword user, but that's personal preference.

The last pick is a mixed bag for me. I personally have no idea what I would pick (and I am looking to be convinced as to who makes sense as this pick). Part of me wants to be sure of which character would get chosen, but at the same time I've always loved how I have been surprised by some reveals. It's incredibly hype inducing. There are few characters left that would 100% satisfy me. Clearly, Lloyd Irving and Jill Valentine would achieve that. However, I for one am also rather confident that western characters (as in, characters that were not created by the Japanese) will not be added, that we will not get two DLC characters from the same company (so no Sora, Monster Hunter, or Heihachi), and that all characters will serve to continue broadening not only "Everyone is here" but also the "biggest crossover in gaming history". This is something that characters from series already with playable representation will not do.

As I said before, I am unsure as to who or what will be the last DLC character (or the one that I simply can't predict). I may be restricting my criteria, but to me, this is what I see happening. These characters fit in with maintaining gaming companies that are Japanese in origin, expand the Smash universe, are bring in unique settings and play styles.

This roster would be effectively a 11/10 for me. Certainly, I will have wants to stem from post-DLC pains as I only foresee one Fighter Pass. But if this is truly what we end up getting...I would have a hard time asking for anything else. I already have been spoiled considering what we got. But what can I say? Smash has a tendency to push the envelope and cause us to want more!

Ratings? Suggestions? Comments? I'd love feedback.

The last character is Banjo or Steve.

Banjo would be a concession to core fans who might be alienated by Erdrick and other non-core picks, whereas Steve would be included due to Minecraft's mass popularity and iconic status.
Hopefully it's Banjo because I don't want to speedrun Minecraft

Real talk though, Quote+Curly as a Duck Hunt sort of deal where one is strapped to the other's back and you can switch the leader ala Ice Climbers' skins

Curly would work amazingly as an alternate costume or gender swap like Alph or Robin. The two are practically the same model of robots.

If it's Steve, you have to speedrun creative mode. Figure out a way how to.

For the sake of the Scott persona, it'll be Banjo.

I'll make sure of it.

Better than 100%-ing DK 64 probably. I can "speedrun" any game no matter how slow I go. DK 64 Speedruns go for hours.

A minecraft speedrun using glitches is only 2 minutes
A minecraft speedrun glitchless but with a set seed is about 7-10
And a minecraft speedrun glitchless with a random seed can very, but the best times are 20-30 minutes

Y'all make it sound complicated when it's really not.

@Mr. Wario

Please keep the Wario Poll Alive through the night. I must retire to bed.

Also, I hereby motion to change the Fire Emblem series symbol to the actual Fire Emblem. And the Xenoblade Series Symbol to something that could represent all three titles.

Of all the reasons to say it won't happen....
....this is by far the worst, Shiny.

Literally replace Erdrick with any of Ultimate's newcomers (Or even Smash 4's and some of Brawl's and Melee's) and the argument is just as valid.
