What is the most iconic game that still is without a Smash rep?

yup.

That has a famous game that's associated with a Nintendo system?

Ninja Gaiden.

unironically Minecraft

> Literal who boomer shit
No

Fortnite

Call of Duty

Mortal Kombat

> Chrono Trigger appears on every single one
> Still has no Smash rep
What the actual fuck? How does this even happen?

Resident Evil

Minecraft
Cave Story
Metal Slug
King of Fighters
Halo
Doom

Mario

Doom and Space Invaders.

Smash is a boomer franchise.

based

All of this is wrong

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Banjo Kazooie

And that's just stuff that has been on Nintendo

Ninja Gaiden and Resident Evil

>100 posts off each other

Woah....

Means nothing, if your franchise doesn't appear on this picture then it's not iconic

Contra
SNK in general.

Tetris
Pong

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn't popular. Can you tell which thing sold less than 1% of the others by the time I finish my song.

Dragon Quest and Minecraft.

Doom

literally Dragon Quest, but FUCK Erdrick and FUCK leakers

Now that Castlevania is in its downright bizarre we don't have Ninja Gaiden in Smash

Ninja Gaiden and Tetris are the correct answers

That, and Contra is really all we're missing from the NES family. G&G Arthur is debatable, but based as well.

Space Invaders

So based on number of appearences, the most iconic games are these then
> 1. The Legend of Zelda (Playable) (9/9)
> 2. Chrono Trigger (N/A) (9/9)
> 3. Final Fantasy (Playable) (9/9)
> 4. Metroid (Playable) (7/9)
> 5. Castlevania (Playable) (7/9)
> 6. SoulCalibur (N/A) (6/9)
> 7. Metal Gear Solid (Playable) (6/9)
> 8. Super Mario Bros (5/9)
> 9. Panzer Dragoon (N/A) (4/9)
> 10. Street Fighter (Playable) (4/9)
> 11. Resident Evil (N/A) (3/9)
So literally all we are missing at this point is SoulCalibur, Panzer Dragoon & Resident evil if we are counting active franchises

>this fucking autist is still posting his lists
LMOA

Castlevania is a massive franchise compared to Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden had 3 games on NES, coasted off those 3 games for years despite the sequels blurring together to people as much as megaman on NES, finally got a reboot that rode the coat tails of Devil May Cry but failed to do anything meaningful past that.

Don't bother with them, they are so autistic that they will just argue that it doesn't matter simply because Joker got in despite it having a Nintendo 3DS exclusive series

Is there a single character in Smash that originates from a western company? I think nintendo may want to keep smash playable characters japan only

Halo - spearheaded the whole FPS on a console and online play, Master Chief was pretty much Microsoft mascot for years
Dragon Quest - OG JRPG, still huge in Japan
Minecraft - the biggest game after fucking Tetris, represents a whole generation
Crash Bandicoot - Sony's mascot during the Playstation-Nintendo 64 wars.

Something to keep in mind, Diddy, K. Rool, and Dark Samus are owned by Nintendo wholesale, and in-house. They could always do whatever they want with them regardless.

While Shovel Knight, Rayman, and Shantae are all non-playable despite their respective good relations with Nintendo and would've been more than willing to let Sakurai do whatever with them

Master Chief is the face of western video games.

People assume that Color TV Game 15 is Pong.

It's actually really odd that Bayo got in before Resident Evil. That one is definitely a "when" not "if".

>How would they make Doomguy and Masterchief different
Believe it or not Doom and Halo have different kinds of weapons for their respective franchises

>Rabbids are only good as spirits
I'd make the case for at least an Assist Trophy

>Fuck you for adding Undertale shit you litteral faggot
I just added what would make sense in Smash, I really don't care if Undertale ever makes it in or not

>No Kiryu
Eh, sure. Pretend their on the list

That zoomer shit is more iconic in gaming culture than your favorites.

>Rabbids are only good as Spirits
Shouldn't be a fighter but I would love a Rabbids assist trophy.

Despite your point about their weaponry, I think the creative approach taken to their melee moveset might be the same.

Doomguy tends to beat the living shit out of his opponents, often using their own bodyparts. MC just slaps them once with his rifle or stabs them with an energy sword. Also, their arsenal is pretty different.

>still thinks bayo got in because of the ballot
lmao, the ballot was for ultimate

I would say dragon quest but nips don't care about smash

It definitely helped to re-popularise them in a time when they were weak, but the spearheading of the genre on console was done years back.

Minecraft. Love it or hate it, you can't deny the fact that it's classic and iconic.

no, it didn't. N64 made big strides for FPS on consoles, halo was riding off that. A lot of halo's influence at the time could be attibuted to CoD as well

Minecraft
If you're not a seething Banjoid then you'd see why Minecraft has a place in Smash.

We're no doubt getting a Dragon Quest rep at this point
If anything it'll be the guy from the newest game for shillbux instead of Erdrick for whatever reason

Crash Bandicoot
Touhou
Spyro
Tomb raider
Ace attorney
Resident evil
Undertale

this. no snk char ever

It could be that the new guy will be a costume for Erdrick, kinda like an Alph thing. After all, they're both technically Erdrick.

Tetris and Pong both have a Smash rep, though, if not necessarily as characters.

>Saber in Smash

I mean, on one hand, it's yet ANOTHER anime sword fighter

But on the other, she'd probably be legit fun to use.

Madden

Doom

Based purely on that criteria, it would be either Minecraft or Halo.

That being said, I’d kill myself if either one got representation in Smash.

The 5ch leak that has been correct so far with Joker’s specifics and the Granblue fighting game DID mention that the Luminary would be one of Erdrick’s costumes in Ultimate, so if you want to put weight to it then there you go. Insiders who seem confident about Erdrick or DQ representation also seem to be on board with the idea. A second 5ch leak that also brought up Ryu Hayabusa, Steve, and Doomguy claimed the same thing about Erdrick’s costumes, though that one is most certainly fake due to some oddities surrounding it.

It's a franchise that's been dead since the PS1. I'm honestly surprised they put Cloud in and not Lightning.

That's literally what it boils down to being in-universe, though.

Resident Evil.

They ported Fate/Extella to the Switch, man. That's kind of already associating themselves with the franchise.

instinct would probably be closer to witch time than anything

>the more people i reply to the more (you)s i’ll get

Yakuza got pretty fuckin’ popular in the West in recent years, and has been a mildly popular series for a while before that, if Joker didn’t bloat the roster with Sega chars, I could see Kiryu making it into Smash.

The FIFA series. Biggest selling game series in the world, right?

Banjo Kazooie

I dunno. Witch Time itself is pretty busted. Maybe Saber's Instinct could be a short term movement speed buff, or increases the duration of her dodge?

if they (for some unexplainable reason) did add a WC character, i think Thrall would be pretty cool

Why do gamers hate Pokemon games so much? Like Pokemon got absolutely destroyed by Metroid, despite Metroid being nowhere near as mainstream as Pokemon

I like Pokemon, grew up playing Red/Blue versions etc, I dont play every entry but Im not eager to have a single additional one added to Smash, regardless of their design (and Incineroar is just awful) in my eyes Smash was about characters we love fighting each other, but Pokemon doesnt really qualify for me as meeting that criteria, yeah Pikachu is incredibly iconic, but hes just an animal representative of the series in my eyes, no distinct personality, something closer to PT is what I would find acceptable but even then its just a generic trainer, not a real character from the series, I would much rather have a Leon Kennedy or Ryu Hayabusa than another animal added to the roster, but I also understand people find human characters boring or predictable or whatever

I'm thinking it could release her invisible air around without doing much percent, but having a push back like with FLUDD.

Sincerely, Dragon Quest, and this is not even a meme answer or due to the leaks.
DQIII was the best selling third party on the NES and DQIX was the best selling third party on the DS. The west has a weird perception on it, but I truly feel like its something that was at least discussed, even if a DQ character might or might not be in.

Doom
Tomb Raider
Crash
Halo
Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil
Devil May Cry
Dragon Quest
Warcraft

All of those vary wildly in mainstream appeal and enduring success/legacy, but they're probably the most notable video game stuff missing. There's Chrono Trigger too but I'm definitely fooling myself there. It's not hugely iconic like what I listed above but it is very fondly remembered by boomers. I'm not sure CoD really works in this context. The most iconic things about it is just its logo and the crosshair meme despite its popularity.
