So Yea Forums, you get to choose the rest of the fighter pass, along with two extra fighter passes after that. Who'd do you pick? Deconfirmed Assist, Spirits, and Bosses are allowed. I'll go first.
Fighter Pass 1 >Joker (Persona) No shit >Porky (Mother) Man child in a spider mech, Mother could use some more love, and the more villains the better >Fawful (Mario) Another villain. Mario & Luigi deserve more love in smash >Steve (Minecraft) He'd be really unique albeit he'd take some effort to make work, but Sakuria can figure it out. Also Minecraft music for training mode, >Master Chief (Halo) One of the icons of the FPS genre, speaks for himself. Picked him over Doomguy because Doomguy would be better suited for Mortal Kombat 1. Intentionally added two Microsoft reps without Banjo to smite Banjofags for being the most annoying little shits in the smash community
Fighter Pass 2 >Marco (Metal Slug) SNK rep. Metal Slug is cool. >Mr. Sandman (Punch Out) Villain (kinda), and could make a cool heavy weight. Could be replaced with Macho Man or King Hippo >Eggman (Sonic) Iconic, villain, could have a varied move set with all the weapons he's had throughout the years. >Tingle, (Zelda) Zelda needs a new character, and he'd make a pretty good gag character >Solaire (Dark Souls) Dark Souls rep. Speaks for itself.
Fighter Pass 3 >Marx (Kirby) Kirby rep, wacky moveset, villain >Shovel Knight (Shovel Knight) Indie rep. >Skull Kid (Zelda) Villian, Zelda rep. >Alucard (Castlevania) Nice way to represent the more Metroidvania Castlevania games >Sol (Guilty Gear) He'd be a crazy addition to the roster. Guilty Gear is an extremely important title to fighting games. My #1 pick.
I'd put Waluigi but I don't want to give redditors the satisfaction.
>Picked him over Doomguy because Doomguy would be better suited for Mortal Kombat except that doom is about shooting shit everywhere and running, so that'd make him fit even less in mk
Xavier Davis
Seeing as Western shit will never be in & no literal who's are allowed > 1. Joker Obviously > 2. Erdrick DQ was Awarded the Blue Ribbon of Honor by JP's Government, By default she should be in > 3. Hatsune Miku Was also awarded the Blue Ribbon of Honor, deserves to be in Smash based on Merit & Popularity alone > 4. Yuna Final Fantasy needs another Rep, and we need more females. Her moveset would be great not to mention FFX is iconic as fuck > 5. KOS-MOS Xenoblade needs another Rep, she's always been the most iconic Xeno character & Monolith loves her. No brainer
Jeremiah Anderson
>Western shit will never be in Shovel Knight got in as an AT and Shantae is a spirit user. >B-but they're not playable Still in.
Tyler White
Fighter pass 1: all third parties. Joker, Rayman, Doom Guy, Slime, and Crash Bandicoot. Fighter pass 2: all Nintendo characters. Cranky Kong, Paper Mario, Bandana Waddle Dee, Karate Joe, and Starfy. Fighter pass 3: all bears. Bewear, Kuma from Tekken, Kumatora, Banjo-Kazooie, and Freddy Fazbear.
Bentley Perez
>Seeing as Western shit will never be in & no literal who's are allowed >Hatsune Mike has a chance even though she isn’t a video game character
Levi Ortiz
I think that picture was made to mock banjo fans, though.
Caleb Lee
banjo's games are shit.
David Cruz
>Joker >Porky >Lip >Ryu Hayabusa >Phoenix Wright Find a flaw.
Pass 1 >Joker (Persona) Only retards want to get rid of him now >Master Chief (Halo) Better than Steve for a Microsoft rep. Makes the Halo vs Metroid meme a reality >Quote (Cave Story) Indie Rep that was popular on both PC and nintendo consoles, would be interesting to see >Monster Hunter (MonHun) A variety of weapons including the Insect Glaive, Hammer, Charge blade and switchaxe would be fun to try. Also would be cool to see another MonHun assist as well >Leon (Resident Evil 2) Because capcom is gonna get another rep, why not throw in the best thing that ever happened to Resident Evil? The memes would be top tier
Fighter Pass 2 >Sylux (Metroid) Yet another metroid rep, but they could do some interesting shit with his shock coil mechanic >Adeliene (Kirby) Kirby rep that's a better friend than Hat Goomba and gives poyo food. Can use paint and shit for some of her specials. >Vessel/Knight/Ghost (Hollow Knight) Yet another Indie that got popular, has a nice moveset that could actually work well in Smash >The Soldier (Team Fortress 2) THIS AMERICAN-MADE FOOT JUST KICKED YOUR ASS BACK TO HIROSHIMA, JAP! >Sekiro/Wolf (Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice) Obvious meme answer and the fact that Sakurai actually liked Sekiro apparently. Assist Trophy could be the Chained Ogre throwing players off the stage
Fighter Pass 3 >Mercenary (Risk of Rain 1/2) Swordfag that obviously Sakurai would cream over because its a god damn swordfag. Could work out well enough >Rayman (Rayman) obvious Ubisoft rep that could get in. or shit, maybe some other Ubi rep, who knows >Chosen Undead (Dark Souls) yet another From rep because rolling memes. Could work out well, or not, we'd have to see >The Heavy (Team Fortress 2) Killing you is full time job now >Hornet (Hollow Knight: Silksong) Last Indie rep just so Samus doesn't have to be alone with so little metroidvania representation excluding Castlevania. Also has a unique moveset that works well.
Anthony Anderson
Miku is more iconic then every single western character, and ROB isn't video game either
Hey clown do a trick, the banjo getting in joke is getting kinda lame
Levi James
Funny how Miku actually replaced the noid, but yeah I agree. Miku is a horrible choice for smash.
Oliver Martin
Though, if I am being honest, I think that if we ever get a non-video game character, it should be Popeyes since he was the main inspiration for Mario.
Xavier Scott
He’s coming back. And he’ll get his Smash invitation along with his revival
I'm not doing two more fighter passes. Instead, I'll do this:
Who I Actually Think Is In Fighter Pass: >Joker Yep. He's in. >Dragon Quest Character Yep. >Somebody from Fire Emblem Tree Houses I'd cry waterfalls of tears, but I can definitely see something dumb like this happening. >A Pokemon from Sword and Shield Because let's have some more tears. (Bonus points if it's Grookey's evolved form though.) >Banjo Kazooie I figured they'd want to save a big one for last. I normally wouldn't see this one coming, but with a Persona rep and Microsoft being buddy buddy with Nintendo, I could see this happening.
What I Actually Want Fighter Pass: >Joker I'm cool with this. >Travis Touchdown Please, Nintendo. I beg of you. If the Bayo can be in, my late 2000's weeb boy can get in too. >Cooking Mama Keep her Engrish voice actor and you have a golden rage inducing pick. >Adeline from Kirby Give her a moveset based on her Star Allies abilities and 64 boss fight and you'd got an amazing character. >Prince from Katamari Damacy No idea how his moveset would work but it'd be awesome.
> Blue Ribbon of Honor: First awarded in 1882. Awarded to individuals who have made significant achievements in the areas of public welfare or public service. > The Blue Ribbon Has only been awarded 25 Times in the last 137 Years > Hiroyuki Ito (Creator of Hatsune Miku) was selected to receive the Blue Ribbon Medal of Honor from the Japanese government (2014) > Only other Media Franchise to be awarded the Blue Ribbon of Honor was Dragon Quest She's irrefutably the most iconic fictional character in Japan
Daniel Russell
Still not a video game character
Jayden Reyes
Also, can you even make a move set for her?
Cooper Nguyen
Neither is ROB & Pikachu you faggot
John Rodriguez
>Two Kirby reps Based
David Bell
>Pikachu not a video game character Confirmed retard
Daniel Smith
That’s like saying a famous Japanese singer should be playable because she won some awards. Oh wait that’s exactly what you’re saying.
Fighter Pass 1 >Joker (Persona) no shit once again >Doomguy (Doom) to keep hype in the West, I feel like many people will be dissapointed with Erdrick after Joker >Erdrick (Dragon Quest) DQ is very popular in Japan, DQ3 being the best in the series according to most nips, and the series has good ties with Nintendo. Erdrick would be better than Slime in my opinion. >Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) He seriously deserves it, and not only is a great NES rep but also has great hack and slash games too
This is where I'd announce another wave of fighter passes to keep hype building.
>Steve with Alex alt (Minecraft) Characters from one of the most famous video game series of all time and have good moveset potential too.
Fighter Pass 2: >Sora (Kingdom Hearts) While I don't really care about Kingdom Hearts, I know he's a heavily requested character and could work well in Smash >Banjo and Kazooie (Banjo Kazooie) exact same as before >Bill Rizer or Sofia III (Contra)/(Master Blaster) I think any of these would round up the most popular NES characters. You could aslo give Sofia III a Tetrimino alt costume, just like in Super Mario Bros Crossover >Crash or Spyro (Crash Bandicoot/Spyro) Iconic PlayStation characters that I feel would fit into Smash >Shuichi Saihara with Kaede Akamatsu alt costume (Danganronpa) Danganronpa is very popular in Japan and according to the Top 100 Famitsu's Readers Favourite Games of all time, all three main danganronpa games are in thr top 25. They could work like Phoenix Wright in MvC3. They would also be very surprising characters I think >Porky (MOTHER) Smash Bros definitely needs another Nintendo villain, and since Porky is a villain in both Lucas and Ness' games, it'd be a perfect choice
Fighter Pass 3 I don't know who to put here, but since deconfirmed characters are allowed, I'd say either Isaac or Geno since they are characters who could work in Smash very well and have been requested for a long time
Henry Morales
Good god you guys have terrible tastes. Can't you think of anything other than literal who's.
>Dark Samus >Dongky Kong >Diddy back to the basement with you weeb
Gavin Murphy
>Grookey's final evolution Why do you want a character that you've never even fucking seen from a game that you haven't fucking played?
Are Pokefags this braindead?
Robert Ortiz
It's wishlist, not a prediction. Piss off rosterfag.
Bentley Cook
I'm choosing Grookey no matter what anyway, so fuck it. Also >all pokefags are one person Are you braindead?
Alexander Long
see
Elijah Ramirez
They practically are
Caleb Wilson
Fighter pass 1: Card themed >Joker from persona 5 >Lancer from deltarune >Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney >Queen Shroob from Mario and Luigi >King bob-omb(self destruction moveset) Fighter pass 2:Number themed >Zero from Megaman X >2B from Neir Automata >02 from kirby >Mighty no 9 as Megaman echo >Soldier 76from overwatch Fighter pass:3 sidekicks >Tails from sonic >Banjo-Kazooie >Waluigi >Toadette (Can transform into peachette) >Kirby's animal friends
Liam Jenkins
All these picks on here are typical and the only people who want them are fuckheads
>If the Bayo can be in, my late 2000's weeb boy can get in too. Lol you retarded? How the fuck would Travis ever compare to the millions that Bayo sells?
Easton Hall
Are you this faggot
Leo Moore
by being the only swordfighter that's actually unique and not faggy.
Charles Ortiz
Fighter Pass 1 >Joker (Persona) he exists already >Agnes Oblige (Bravely Default) Is basically the main character of Bravely Default, and could probably bring the job class system stuff into Smash. plus BD music >Shantae (Shantae) long standing indie that has tons of interesting moveset potential, has a new game coming out showing she has a future. >Banjo&Kazooie (Banjo&Kazooie) practically a Nintendo character before Microsoft, tons of in game moves to pull from plus maybe even a split up mechanic. >KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) one of the more noteworthy Namco characters that has tons of crossovers to her name already, plus she's a battle robot with huge guns and if I remember a fucking chest cannon, plus Monolith loves her.
Fighter Pass 2 >Mai Shiranui (King of Fighters) SNK rep and could have fun fighter potential with her fan. >Marina Liteyears (Mischief Makers) wtf choice that is from an underappeciated gem on the N64, could bring in a very unique grappler moveset. >Adeleine (Kirby) Painter moveset/summoner moveset is super unique and we need SOMETHING from the Shimomura games. >Dr. Eggman (Sonic) Mech based fighter ala Bowser Jr but more chaotic. Plus we could finally have hero vs villain fight with Mario and Sonic, and potentially we get his god tier theme >Geno (Super Mario RPG) A character from a cult classic on SNES that Sakurai has stated before wanting to bring to Smash, could bring with him timed hits mechanic
Fighter Pass 3 >Jill Dozer (Drill Dozer) under appreciated kino given form in a gba cartridge, brings kickass drill mech. >Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) Has tons of various Ninja tools to use in Smash. >Master Chief (Halo) Revolutionized the FPS genre in its debut, very iconic character and as ton of gear and weapons to pull from. >Lip (Panel de Pon) Could bring combos and block making to Smash. >Agumon (Digimon) Old rival of Pokemon over in the West, and could possibly bring over digivolution mechanic into fights.
Josiah Moore
>Faggots don't want Chad Otaku literal who's in Smash and rather have twink who's like Corrin What do you fucking think?
Luis Cruz
fighter pass 1: third parties >Joker >Doomguy >Sans (if only to appeal to zoomers) >Chosen Undead >The Battletoads fighter pass 2: first party fighters >Porky (honestly it's my theory that porky was cut from ultimate due to how noticeably absent he is, but maybe he'll be added as dlc) >Sceptile >Adeleine >Byleth >Sylux fighter pass 3: from spirits to reality >Rayman >Dr. Eggman >Magolor >Cranky Kong >Hades
My literal never-ever pass >Shovel Knight >Crash >Paper Mario >Master Chief
What might happen >Erdrick >Crash >Banjo >M$ Rep
Parker Jackson
Hes generic as fuck
James Jones
STINKY DAY
Thomas Richardson
>Amaterasu: Would be a good wild card if they didn't want to go for the obvious Capcom options >Erdrick: Dragon Quest feels like the most obvious hole in the series >Banjo & Kazooie: Would have better options for most everything than Steve >Doom Guy: Would shut up people screeching "NO WESTERNS ALLOWED LOL" unless they justified it some bizarre way, feels like he could fit in well
Evan Morales
>All smash's current swords fighters are the same no talk and calm demeanor is non generic >A loud mouth cussing Otaku who takes shit from no one and murders people is generic
Banjo is the generic pick, the "good guy" pick, the bandwagon pick. Banjofags think collectively as NPCs. "We are the Smash fandom. Wanting Steve is wrongthink." Steve is the out of left field pick, the chaotic neutral pick. It's the character with memes and original content that make people seethe. Meanwhile Banjofags have "Discord tranny" meme and the garbage wojak you posted.
Actually thinking about it, a better word is a cuntrannian
Landon Sanders
I can't I'd fucking KILL to see Phoenix in another fighting game after Mahvel 3, he was so goofy and gimmicky and I want his series represented as well
Julian Turner
I see this post a lot and always wonder why Lip is even there
Owen Wood
Fighter Pass 1 >Joker (Persona) he's literally god >Bloodborne Hunter (Bloodborne) this character would be hype as fuck >Louie (Pikmin) based as fuck >Anna (Fire Emblem) downloading this character also removes corrin from the roster you're welcome >Sora (Kingdom Hearts) fuck you, I can
Fighters Pass 2 >Monster Hunter (take a guess) This would actually be so good and you can't deny it >Heavy (Team Fortress 2) SANDWICH >Isaac (Golden Sun) the biggest cuck of all time and I'm sad about it >K.K. Slider (Animal Crossing) just imagine melee attacks with a fucking twanger. godlike >Professor FUCKING Layton (Professor Layton) please
Fighters Pass 3 >Phantom R (Rhythm Thief) this motherfucker will give you the hand and you die instantly >Doomguy (DOOM) absolutely based boomer character >Sans (Undertale) just cause I'm a fuckhead >Amaterasu (OKAMI) this is like the greatest potential pick ever if you disagree uhm die >Yu Narukami (Persona) the world's greatest chad also deserves a shot at smash
Sebastian Roberts
No, we're not NPCs because it's contrarian. I want him for other reasons.
Carter Wright
Okay, like what? I personally wouldn’t mind him in smash but I thought that you only wanted him to be a contrarian, if you do want him for other reasons, then that’s cool.
Noah Butler
1 >Joker (because I have no choice) >Terry >Ryu Hayabusa >Chrono >Banjo
2 >Travis Touchdown >Saki >Rex >X/Zero >Octoling
3 >Isaac / Felix >Ray MKIII >Waluigi >Bomberman >Shadow
