So Ammy is disconfirmed due to Kamiya depite the fact that he doesnt have anything to do directly with Okami anymore but MC which was mentioned by the Halo twitter and the 343 guy is still possible. I think thats faulty logic, either put both as a possibility or remove both altogether.I think Mii Costumes returning and DLC Spirits are one of the most interesting points for speculation. From them we can assume the following:
Furthermore, Joker's incredibly faithful representation has ramifications for DLC as a whole if we assume that every character will receive similar treatment. This effects Heihachi and Tekken fighters specifically. Sakurai said that incorporating Tekken's 3D movement in Smash was too difficult to include him in Smash 4, and I feel like, for DLC, if he can't incorporate Tekken's movement Heihachi, or any Tekken character for that matter, is highly unlikely.
- DLC Mii Costumes from Sm4sh will likely return
- this isn't entirely true since the Akira costume from Virtua Fighter did not return
- This specifically affects Geno, Monster Hunter, Lloyd, and Heihachi
- Series with Spirits are at a disadvantage in terms of getting new fighters.
- Spirits might literally disconfirm characters.
So then, who's left?
In terms of Capcom, I feel likeScoliosis Jones ' point about Dante and Amaterasu is correct. We know for a fact Dante is out (
), and I feel like Kamiya would know if Amaterasu was in given that he and Sakurai are friends. Sakurai would, at the very least, talk to Kamiya about Amaterasu's inclusion. So, Ammy is out. For the sake of the argument we'll say Megaman and Street Fighter are out since they already have characters and spirits that are in. This leaves two series from my point of view:
I'd give Resident Evil the advantage simply because it is undeniably one of Capcom's most popular and best selling series. However, the popularity and longevity of the Phoenix Wright franchise alongside the series' strong ties to Nintendo are not to be underestimated. I do feel like Resident Evil is more conducive to Mii Costumes, however.
- Resident Evil, and
- Phoenix Wright
In terms of Square Enix Dragon Quest simply makes the most sense, especially alongside all the other points in Erdrick's favor. I suppose Kingdom Hearts could be possible if Disney plays along, but that's highly unlikely. We get Erdrick as a fighter and other heroes as Mii Costumes (+ a Slime Hat) and Spirits. The Geno and Chocobo Mii Costumes also return (sorry Geno fans)
Namco is harder to figure out given that both Heihachi and Lloyd, the two most popular speculation picks, have Mii Costumes that could very likely make a return. Going based off of my prior argument against Tekken, we'll assume that it's out. So, who's left?
These are ranked in order of likelihood. I strongly believe in a Tales of character, but KOS-MOS is a dark horse pick given that she seems to be the de facto mascot of Namco in crossover games. Agumon is mentioned
- A Tales of character (*that isn't Lloyd)
- It could still be Lloyd given Sakurai's statement about Lloyd being "the only choice" for Tales of characters
- KOS-MOS
- Agumon
solely for the sake of appeasing Graizenbecause it's possible. Bonus points if the character is Lloyd and they start by revealing his Mii Costume.
Our final DLC fighter is going to either Banjo & Kazooie or Master Chief (I'd lean towards Banjo Kazooie). Steve and the character who doesn't get in between Banjo and Chief will be a Mii Costume. I'd bet on a Creeper Hat as well, and maybe we also get other characters from the Halo series as Mii Costumes (the Plasma Sword will be used for a Mii Swordfighter costume).
So, we're looking at:
That's a mighty fine DLC pass if I do say so myself.
- Joker
- Erdrick
- Banjo-Kazooie/Master Chief
- Resident Evil/Phoenix Wright
- Tales of/KOS-MOS
