Y'all need to be fine with promotional picks...
They happen...
Smash itself, is an ad, so basically, it's just an ad being added to an ad
I don't see anything wrong with that
The ad sign of things doesn't really bother me. Let's say Joker was chosen with the thought that P5 is coming to the Switch (which seems somewhat likely). That doesn't bother me much since it is a character from a brand new IP with it's own style, character, personality, etc. Even without the promotional aspect, it still seems warranted.
I'm just hoping we get picks that are surprising and add something completely new to the table, really living up to Reggie saying these are must haves. Another FE rep is the last thing from a must have. I understand there are different abilities, but it all is a similar style. I'm not even totally against "anime swordfighters," as I could understand and be fine with someone like Erdrick.
I'm not a FE guy, so that colors my opinion a little. But I'm a huge Pokemon player (my gameboy was pretty much a Pokemon machine) and I don't want another Pokemon in this DLC either.
Smash is great as the ultimate crossover. I would just prefer to lean into that.
I know this conversation has probably been done to death, but it is my biggest fear of the fighters pass.
