If piranha plant has taught us anything, it's that
no character "
deserves" to be in smash, but I'll bite, this is for fun '-'
....
.....
huh. odd. I can't think of any character that absolutely positively deserves to join the roster.
Guess I'll just do the normal thing and just spout out a character that I'd want in the game instead.
Ari and Satan (stan for us round eyes, is that inappropriate? It felt inappropriate...) as a combo character comes to mind for some reason.
Me and Satan King/ Okage: Shadow King main characters are just floating in my head for some weird reason...it's been literal years...
Yeah not a chance in heII
Let's try again...
Um errr...
Pino and Tink combo character from Wonder Project J?
Ooof scraping at the bottom of the obscure memory barrel...
One more time before I feel too ancient.
...uh.
Rumble and Baku from Dual Hearts as a combo character (what's with me and combo characters??)...
he could ride on Baku and stuff...?
Okay I think I'll stop. This was more of a memory lane thing more than anything.
I'd really want Goemon (and his friends *as a COMBO character(s)* too but I'll take what I can get)
Mostly not because they "deserve" to be in smash, but more so that they
deserve to be treated with more respect by Konami (who needs to treat all their IP's with more respect) They deserve so much more than being shoehorned into Pachinko machines and given YugiOH cameo's as cards every now and then (sasuke is super popular).
I just want to see them in an actual game again, and being in smash would hint at something more for them since their relevancy in the west has dropped for a decade. If it wasn't for that DS game (Japanese release only smh) I'm pretty sure a bunch of people wouldn't have remembered their existence.
Their inclusion in western releases puts culture on a pedestal for the world to see and that's brave. It was brave back then to share something so culturally different and for them to back out of world releases due to it being "too japanese" a series just always baffled me. Money is all that matters to Konami, they aren't about delivering "quality" experiences like other companies. Konami is only interested in easy money so of course they'll keep on milking pachinko and YugiOH until the end of time... feels bad sometimes.
