If she's part of Joker's fighter pass, then it's harmless. If she's sold separately, it's a double standard to want her when a Fire Emblem DLC fighter like Corrin being advertised for the new game is reviled across the community
The double standard is only if you're in the minority that hated Corrin but you want Kasumi

you don't deserve to get in smash unless you've built up a huge fanbase over many years. no characters deserve special treatment

I love how you are going out of your way to mock me using a promotional first party character that at least one region had months to get to know beforehand.

You know, instead of a guest fighter whose debut game hasn't even been released and people JUST learned who the **** she was.

Um, Roy then?

And I still don't get the anger. If she's an third party echo, she's not stealing anyone's slot. If she's DLC, you don't have to buy her.

I think it's unanimous that most people would want Corrin replaced if they were God and could rewind time because she was literally an advertisement. If Kasumi is sold separate from Joker's fighter pass, I would rather they choose an echo with more history in a game that's already out worldwide.

If she's a part of Joker's fighter pass then that's fine. More bang for the buck I already spent, am I right?

corrin is a whole-ass unique character and sakurai gave zero ****s about adding them as a promo rep despite them not even being known anywhere besides japan

kasumi would be an echo fighter

if they found a way to make her work she would take less then half of half of half of the time it took to make joker

this really does just feel like salt from not getting shadow

It was another East v West thing. Richter is more well known and requested in Japan
He's much more popular than Simon is in Japan.
How about Ressha instead? It means Express.

I mean Richter has one of the most iconic line in the franchise that anyone would recognize
Part of Simon's moveset is literally ripped out of Richter since Simon never used some of these moves. Sakurai even says during the August direct that you can't tell who is the echo fighter of who since both were used to make the moveset. That's why Richter is in, Sakurai looked at both of these characters when deciding the Castlevania character. And it's not like Simon and Richter were in the same game, both were the protagonists of different Castlevania games from different eras.

Hmm, OK, those are good points.

But still, was he really that deserving of a spot over character like Shadow or Dixie? Like Sonic as been in the Smash franchise for 3 games now, yet he still only as 1 character, while Castlevania get a free echo first time. You could say it's to make all fans of Castlevania happy and to make sense as to why Simon use Richter moves and vice-versa, But Donkey Kong and especially Sonic are much well-know franchise those days than Castlevania, so if we use the "deserve" argument here, I feel like I would have put priority over Shadow/Dixie than Richter. (Also Sakurai could have totally pull a Ness with Simon and say he asked help from his descendent or some **** during to the event of Judgement to learn their moves to explain how Simon could user Richter moves, it might have sounded bad, but Sakurai could have use that card without too much problems imo)

As for Kasumi place, well, I guess it depend as to how you reacted to Corrin inclusion and if getting angry at a echo fighter, which don't take alot of works anyway, is really worth it or not. In all cases, I wait until we get more info on her before I say something I might regret.

anyway after letting the dust settle for a little bit i'm gonna say uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

55% chance of smash appearance

the grappling hook reads much more like Royal representation than an obscure menu reference, her thief costume isn't too wildly different from joker in terms of animation, and her weapons are similar enough (barring mechanical edits to accommodate length and range) to work as joker's do

at any rate, i'd feel 100% confident that this is what 'jane' is/at least was at some point in time during joker's development, and atlus will shill this game to the ends of the earth even if that means making a deal with sakurai

have fun with, er

whatever you're doing

atlus, she's 15
I just noticed, she has the same red gloves, black clothing thing Joker has. Sure, her mask is not white like Jokers and she has a bit less on, but otherwise they are pretty close to each other.

Corrin didn't deserve to be in Smash as DLC. As someone who was hyped for Fates before it became a meme, Corrin was disappointing. Not bad, but not great, which is the point.

It's never unanimous in regards to characters.
Yeah, people would have rather had their preferred character but that lumps in people who were neutral on Corrin at worst with those that hated her.

There's a huge difference between "Eh, not who I wanted but they look cool" and "I ****ING HATE THIS CHARACTER WHY NOT MY PREFERRED CHARACTER I'M NOT BUYING ANYTHING NINTENDO EVER AGAIN"

I think it's supposed to be a leotard because she was shown ballet dancing in her normal clothes. You can also see that the shoes are black ballet shoes.

That said I think maybe a material other than black leather was called for here. Just maybe.

yeah which is half my thinking

aesthetically, she's stupidly close to joker, and that makes an echo fighter all the more plausible

Wait, Joker never had a grappling hook in P5?
he had it in a 2-second menu animation, which is plausible for a sakurai reference

however, given that it seems to be central to P5R, it seems much more likely to be a reference to that
